Has punk ever really, truly been dead? Since the genre’s eruption in the late ‘70s, it’s birthed not only wave after wave of bands both good and bad, but also endless hours of public panic surrounding the genre. That reaction is apt, considering that one of punk’s goals was always to upset the cultural apple cart and make squares question their very being. Anyone looking for evidence of the genre’s misunderstood and manic origins needs only look to the wide swath of “punk panic” entertainment that emerged in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Dozens of TV shows and movies...

Bull-shot! The official White House Twitter account posted false COVID-19 information Thursday, wrongly claiming there was “no vaccine available” when President Biden took office in January 2021. “When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available,” the verified account tweeted to its 7 million followers Thursday. “In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3 [million] jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6% — the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded,” the tweet concluded. But eagle-eyed critics were quick to point out that the 79-year-old Biden actually received...

Spain is planning to introduce medical leave for women who suffer from severe period pain, media reports suggest.A draft bill says women could have three days of leave a month - extended to five in some circumstances. But politicians warned that the draft - leaked to Spanish media outlets - was still being worked on. If passed, it would be the first such legal entitlement in Europe. Only a handful of countries around the world have such legislation in place.

In another note of optimism for our country, Americans with money are officially starting to stockpile second passports as “Plan B” for their families.

The report says that billionaires and entrepreneurs, along with celebrities, are all looking for a backup plan to the red, white and blue, should the proverbial stuff hit the fan. Among the worries of the rich remain Covid, climate change and political turmoil, the report says. There are more than...

Led by Treasury secretary Janet Yellen, the newest "official" Democrat mantra about abortion has abandoned the language of rights and now asserts that doing away with abortion will severely damage the American economy, especially among minorities. Yes, that is revolting Marxist utilitarianism, but there's something more important happening here: the Democrats are trying to give themselves the constitutional authority to do an end run around the Supreme Court's anticipated ruling returning abortion to the states. It seems pretty certain that the Supreme Court will jettison Roe v. Wade, the decision holding that women have an inherent constitutional right to abortion....

Punk Rock star Johnny Rotten has dubbed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “parasites” during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored. The 66-year-old singer unleashed a brutal rant against the royal pair, criticizing their conduct and saying they’d be better off “getting a job at Mc Donald’s.” The former Sex Pistols frontman was asked about the couple’s contribution to the royal debate by host Piers. He replied: “I’m sorry but I think they’ve showed themselves to be parasites. “If you wanna opt-out of that family situation then please by all means do and go and work for McDonalds but don’t expect...

Biden's lackeys love to brag about how quickly incomes are rising, but that is an intensely misleading claim. They advertise a 5.5% raise in income, but that is before it is subject to the never-ending litany of taxes. When you factor in payroll taxes, federal income taxes, and state income taxes, it is safe to say you reduce that number by 30% (conservatively speaking). This amounts to a net raise in income of around 4%, which is less than half the current inflation rate of 8.3% — a significantly understated figure, especially for lower- and middle-class individuals and families. Also,...

CLAIM: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) claimed on Friday that America is at war with Russia and therefore needs to “produce energy.” VERDICT: False. Congress has not declared war against Russia, nor has President Joe Biden engaged combat troops with Russia. Hoyer took to the House floor, disputing the Republican claim that the Biden administration has “clamped down” on domestic energy production. “The Biden administration approved more drilling permits in 2021 than the Trump administration approved in the first three years they were in office. I don’t know how the [Republican leader] rationalizes his comments about the Biden constricting...

INSIDE THE CHAMBER IT IS dark, and the flickers of torchlight play across the features of the men gathered. The meal over, they sit relaxed on long stone benches that face each other in the narrow nave. Their god has left them for the time being, but embers of the fire that brought him to share the feast still glow red on the altar nearby. Soon, the devout will gather and burn the scraps, including chicken bones and suckling pig carcasses picked clean of meat. Then they will disperse the ashes across the floor and pace deliberately back and forth...

Across the world, top wheat-producing regions are experiencing adverse weather conditions that could threaten production. In places like Ukraine, a military invasion by Russia has slashed production significantly. All of this suggests the world is on the cusp of a food crisis. Droughts, floods, and heatwaves have plagued farmland in the U.S., Europe, India, and China. As for Ukraine, the world’s largest wheat producer, the war could slash production by upwards of a third. There’s one exception: Russia, which is expected to have a bumper crop as wheat prices soar. “If there was ever a year where we needed to...

Explanation: There's a black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Stars are observed to orbit a very massive and compact object there known as Sgr A* (say "sadge-ay-star"). But this just released radio image (inset) from planet Earth's Event Horizon Telescope is the first direct evidence of the Milky Way's central black hole. As predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, the four million solar mass black hole's strong gravity is bending light and creating a shadow-like dark central region surrounded by a bright ring-like structure. Supporting observations made by space-based telescopes and ground-based observatories provide a wider...
