Jason Alexander is imploring people to watch the upcoming Jan. 6 committee hearings, which will begin airing Thursday in primetime. In a video message on Wednesday, he told viewers that, should they choose to tune in, they won't have a hard time finding a network airing it -- kind of like "Seinfeld."

San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin, the son of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert -- both convicted for their roles in the deadly Brink's robbery in Rockland County, was removed from office overnight after a heated recall. Many felt he was inexperienced and avoided charging criminals, siding with offenders over victims. But his supporters say his platform is in line with voters who approved measures to reduce sentences. Recalls are increasingly being used in California. You likely remember Gov. Gavin Newsom easily survived one in September. Many political pundits are saying this is a signal to Democrats nationwide to fine-tune their...

“Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled” (Proverbs 9:4-5 KJV).

A pro-life activist was caught on surveillance footage showing her beginning to set fire to a Wyoming abortion clinic. The footage was posted by police in the town of Casper, with an added note that federal authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for tips on the identify of the would be arsonist. The video shows a woman in a hoodie and mask bringing a red fuel can through what appears to be the lobby of the clinic, which was set to open in June. The white woman is around 5 feet, 7 inches tall, with a medium build, and apparently...

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Newsmax on Wednesday the House Jan. 6 Select Committee seeks to "to get rid of the Electoral College" and stop former President Donald Trump "from running for office in 2024." Jordan walked through the suspicious actions taken by the committee by working with major networks to film the hearings in prime time. :They went out and hired the former president of ABC News to choreograph this documentary, this production," Jordan told "Stinchfield." "And who's their first witness going to be? This documentarian who was embedded with this group. "That sort of tells you everything you...

The leader of a prominent Christian megachurch was sentenced to 16 years and eight months in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to multiple counts of child sexual assault late last week. During the hearing, the defendant — and many others — were sharply upbraided by the judge. “I never cease to be amazed at what people do in the name of religion,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen angrily mused. “And how people’s lives are ruined in the guise of serving a supreme being.” After years of proclaiming his innocence and pledging to fight the charges against him,...

The Colombian army has released a video showing gold coins and other valuable items around the shipwreck of the San Jose galleon, believed to be the resting place of billions of dollars in treasure. Royal Navy vessels sank the Spanish flagship in 1708 during the War of the Spanish Succession, but its resting place - near the port of Cartagena on Colombia's coast with the Caribbean - had been a mystery for more than three centuries before the Colombian navy formally announced its discovery in 2015. Experts speculate that the ship was loaded with at least 200 tons of treasure,...

A new study investigating if mental health helps shape satisfaction with partners has revealed there are differences between females and males—with men having the potential to experience a vicious circle. Led by Loughborough University's Professor Paul Downward, professor of economics in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, the analysis used data on 42,464 couples gathered through the British Household Panel Survey (1991–2008) to test aspects of the marital adjustment model, which assesses dyadic partner satisfaction. The findings suggest for females, relationship satisfaction is more likely to influence mental health. For males, however, there is a potential "vicious circle...

A team of researchers has found that a metabolite produced by bacteria in the gut promotes neural cell death resulting in cognitive decline in mice. In their paper, the group describes their study of the metabolite isoamylamine (IAA) and its impact on cognitive decline. Prior research has suggested a strong link between gut bacteria and brain health. The researchers looked into the possible impact on the brain of just one metabolite produced by one family of bacteria in the gut, Ruminococcaceae. They found first that IAA becomes more prevalent in the gut as people age due to the presence of...

Amid ongoing controversy over whether education in the classics should be eliminated or reformed to exclude works deemed too Western or white, a black professor affirmed that the classics are for everyone. University of Virginia sociology Professor Angel Parham said the study of Greco-Roman culture still has “much to teach us.” The classics should be “elevated and broadened,” not repudiated, she wrote in a May 20 op-ed for The Wall Street Journal. “The study of Greek and Latin literature and history has a proven record of lifting the performance of students, especially the disadvantaged.” “…It is ironic that critics deem...

Having multiple conditions that affect the heart is linked to a greater risk of dementia than having high genetic risk, according to a new large-scale study. The international research team identified those who had been diagnosed with the cardiometabolic conditions diabetes, stroke, or a heart attack, or any combination of the three, and those who went on to develop dementia. Within this study population, the researchers found that the more of these three conditions a person had, the higher their risk of dementia. People who had all three conditions were three times more likely to develop dementia than people who...

Pro-choice activists marched in front of the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh Wednesday evening just hours after a man was charged with threatening to kill him. In videos shared online, protesters – comprising members of the activist group "Ruth Sent US" – chanted slogans while banging drums and walking up and down the sidewalk. "Keep your rosaries, off my ovaries," the protesters could be heard chanting in call and response fashion while police stood on guard in front of Kavanaugh’s home.

A group representing 600 Texas families and backed by the American Civil Liberties Union sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday to stop state officials from treating transgender healthcare for minors as a form of child abuse. In February, the Texas governor ordered the Department of Family and Protective Services to open child abuse investigations of families that provide minors with transgender care such as estrogen or testosterone treatments or hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty. The measure was part of a wave of initiatives by Republican governors and legislators affecting transgender rights across the country, with some...

If you can spot the hidden message in this image then you’re smarter than most. The visual puzzle challenges you to find the “hidden tiger” in the jungle scene – and it’s harder than you think. That’s because the artwork contains not one but two big cats, with one much easier to identify than the other. Alongside the fairly obvious striped predator in the middle, rather than a second tiger, the image contains the text “the hidden tiger”. It’s this text that you’re tasked with finding in order to solve the fiendishly difficult puzzle.

Days after a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, the Biden Administration is fighting a court-ordered $230 million verdict for the victims of a different Texas mass shooting. The Justice Department filed an appeal in an attempt to not pay the multi-million dollar verdict to the families and victims of the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting by former Air Force airman Devin Kelley, said Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry. “That federal judge found that the United States government was at fault for allowing the gunman to acquire a gun because the...

Over the past two centuries its magnetic strength has taken a nosedive, and nobody has the foggiest idea why. At the same time, a concerning soft-spot in the field called the South Atlantic Anomaly has blistered over the Atlantic ocean, and has already proven problematic for delicate circuitry on orbital satellites. Both of these troubling observations fuel concerns that we might be seeing signs of an imminent reconfiguration that would turn the compass points all topsy-turvy in what's known as a magnetic pole reversal. But researchers behind a new investigation modelling the planet's magnetic field in the recent past warn...

The telescope, called eROSITA and mounted on the Russian Spektr-RG spacecraft, scans the sky for sources of X-ray radiation (black holes and neutron stars) and works in tandem with Russia's ART-X instrument that searches for supermassive black holes. Russian scientists involved in the cooperation reportedly criticized the idea, saying that restarting eROSITA without German participation could damage the telescope. "The telescope was turned off not by the Germans, but by Russian specialists at the request of Germany," Rogozin wrote in the unverified post, which is dated June 6. "Russian astronomers need a working observatory, not a de-energized piece of iron...
