Archaeologists unearth a fourth century amphitheater that stood on the far reaches of the Roman Empire more than 1,400 years ago[what an imbecile]

@ChadPergram Barrasso on Fox: I voted to certify the election and I think Mike Pence did his constitutional duty that day. It's not the Congress that elects the President, it is the American people.

Archeologists have discovered the remains of two huge sphinx statues, each measuring 26 feet in length, at the funerary temple of King Amenhotep III, a pharaoh who reigned about 3,300 years ago, according to a recent statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. A team led by Horig Sorosian found the sphinxes partially submerged in water at the funerary building, known as the “Temple of Millions of Years,” located within the vast ruins of Luxor, Egypt, which includes the ancient city of Thebes. Amenhotep III’s temple is packed with artifacts and was once a resplendent feature of Luxor....

Click at the link to find stories away from Falun Gong sponsored Epoch Times. My friends subscribe to Epoch Times. They don't know who Falun Gong are and have no curiosity to find out. Newspapers have been opinion engineering operations for their 200 year history. The most interesting thing about them is, who is paying for you to have certain opinions? I still read Drudgereport.com as the modern Pravda, so, the return of Hillary vs Trump is the most interesting thing about the Oligarch kaleidoscope right now. What does it mean abiut the Oligarchs intentions, what they're going to do...

It’s as if Kamala Harris is still the Attorney General in California. Facing a wave of students peacefully protesting mask mandates by simply showing up to school unmasked, administrators all over the country are doubling down – leaving elementary school students outside with no coats on a cold day, unsupervised; attempting to barricade high school students in an unheated gymnasium; making them sit on the curb without desks, a teacher, or work; denying them access to the school; and labeling them a “clear and present danger to the life, safety, or health of a pupil or school personnel” in order...

Horses have been intrinsically entwined with human history for the past five millennia, acting as an early means of rapid transport and playing a key part in agriculture, warfare and sport.Despite this, major decades-long mysteries have surrounded where and how modern horses were first domesticated. Yet a large international team of zooarchaeologists, historians and geneticists, all experts in horse evolutionary history, has recently started coming up with some answers. The results are showing just how much this can reveal about both the horse itself and about human history and culture—and how much we still have to find out."Horses are perhaps...

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson says downtown Ottawa is "out of control" as the trucker convoy protest and occupation is now in its 10th day. Hundreds of trucks remain parked on Parliament Hill and through the Parliamentary Precinct this morning. Police and city officials are urging people to avoid the downtown core, and warn roads and interprovincial bridges could be closed again today to slow the flow of vehicles into the downtown core.

There’s something idiosyncratically American about Joe Rogan. Maybe it’s his frat-boyish persona. His passions for hunting and extreme sports. Perhaps, most of all, Joe Rogan embodies some whimsical notion of the American Dream: a college dropout turned stand-up comedian, who worked his way up to become one of the world’s media titans....Last year, it was Spotify’s most-streamed podcast globally, in the US and the UK. Rogan is, anyone would have to admit, quite the big deal. And yet, he is a polarising figure. A staunch libertarian, Rogan has faced accusations of sexism and transphobia over remarks made on the podcast....

The skeletal remains of a man buried 1,400 years ago near a headless horse have been discovered at an ancient cemetery in the town of Knittlingen in southern Germany. He likely was the horse's owner/rider when he was alive. The man was buried at a time when the Merovingian dynasty (A.D. 476–750) flourished in the area, ruling a giant swath of territory in what is now France and Central Europe. During his lifetime, the man likely served the dynasty's kings. "He stood in a 'chain of command' with the Merovingian kings on its top, which meant he was obliged to...

Comedian Heather McDonald fell hard during a show in Tempe, Arizona, but it was no joke ... it was a medical emergency. Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... the former "Chelsea Lately" star was headlining the show, when she delivered her second joke ... "I'm vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted ... and flu shot, and shingle shot, and haven't gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most."

A substitute teacher was caught on camera as he berated a teenage student who is the son of two California police officers for wearing a Blue Lives Matter American flag face mask in support of cops. Lucas Lillar, 13, who is in the eighth grade at Lyman Gilmore Middle School in Grass Valley, near Sacramento, was filmed by another pupil as the unidentified substitute teacher reprimanded him in front of the class for wearing the cloth mask, which features a thin blue line. 'That's not the American flag, that's the new confederacy flag,' the teacher can be heard yelling while...

A "lost" Oxford University college has been unearthed during the construction project for new student flats. The former St Mary's College was founded in 1435 but had already fallen into disrepair 100 years later. A team from Oxford Archaeology discovered a massive limestone wall foundation, butchered animal bones and decorated floor tiles. Construction firm Beard is developing 30 student flats at Brasenose College's Frewin Annexe. The ill-fated St Mary's College was to be a base for Augustinian canons studying in Oxford. A two-storey college chapel and library was built, but construction was very slow. Cardinal Thomas Wolsey tried to speed...

On January 31, 2022, a friend of mine here in Italy sent me an email with a short video clip, taken on January 28, 2022, of a Receipt of the Application of the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Below you can see this video clip as well as four images that I exported from this video clip, which indicate that the microchip of the first dose, with the code 049269018, is linked to the 5G network. This means that each person who has taken the vaccine can be located, identified, blocked on the Internet and even eliminated using the...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken's team is "working ... to prevent" Russia from establishing military bases in Latin America as the crisis in Ukraine is widening the diplomatic disputes between the former Cold War rivals. "We, as a hemisphere, do not accept provocations," State Department Assistant Secretary Brian Nichols, Blinken's top lieutenant for the Western Hemisphere, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "And those types of prodding by forces from outside our hemisphere are unacceptable." Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov gestured toward such a deployment earlier this month, when he said he could "neither confirm nor exclude" whether Moscow...

But history shows the denuclearization to have been a chaotic upheaval that shook with infighting, reversals and discord among the country’s government and military. At the time, both Ukrainian and American experts questioned the wisdom of atomic disarmament. The deadly weapons, some argued, were the only reliable means of deterring Russian aggression. Today Ukraine has no easy path to producing or acquiring the materials to build a bomb. Even so, the nuclear genie is once again stirring as Russian troops encircle the nation and wage a shadow war in its easternmost provinces. “We gave away the capability for nothing,” said...

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. Proverbs 21:21 (King James Version) Our cleaning lady’s son committed suicide last week. I blame his death on President Obama and Governor Brown. The lockdowns, masks, vaxes, job losses and general hopelessness has led to massive increases in depression and suicides especially in young men. Suicide is up over 40% since the beginning of the lockdowns and nobody in power cares in the slightest, they only care about power and controlling your life, nothing else. Put...
