    (Translation) Attorney [and political commentator] Iván Rivera stated that the Puerto Rican Independence Party [PIP] has done damage to the independence [cause]. "The PIP has done enormous damage to the independence [cause] with those alliances and associations (with the socialist sector) since this is an eminently capitalist island [which] does not believe in a socialist project, although there are people within the government and the Legislature here who behave like socialists," he said. "[The PIP] has never presented an economic project based on a capital-based economy taking advantage of the relationship with the United States and the funds that are...

    Explanation: The Whirlpool Galaxy is a classic spiral galaxy. At only 30 million light years distant and fully 60 thousand light years across, M51, also known as NGC 5194, is one of the brightest and most picturesque galaxies on the sky. The featured image is a digital combination of images taken in different colors by the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, highlighting many sharp features. Anyone with a good pair of binoculars, however, can see this Whirlpool toward the constellation of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici). M51 is a spiral galaxy of type Sc and is the dominant member of a...

    Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who was nominated by voters in May as the Republican nominee for governor, doesn’t give the media much credit for accuracy. “They, and their boosters on the left, are the ones who want to tell us what to think,” Mastriano told The Epoch Times in a candid interview. “They’re the ones who told us that the [Black Lives Matter] protests were mostly peaceful as city blocks were burning and dozens of people were being killed. But then they’ll flip it on us on Jan. 6 and try to say how outrageous that was—which it was–but...

Their freedom of expression is what America is all about.” During her appearance, Pelosi told the contestants she was proud of them and thanked them “for the joy and beauty they bring to the world.” “Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what...

  • Closing Hell! NASDAQ Tanks -4.58%, 10Y Treasury Yield Spikes +22 Basis Points, 10Y-2Y Yield Curve Flattens To Near Zero (MBS Prices Pull A Titanic)

    Confounded Interest ^ | 06/12/2022 | Anthony B. Sanders
    Not nibbling on baby formula, watching gasoline prices soar. Wasting away again in Biden/Powellville. It was closing hell for a terrible day in markets as investors struggle to process the dreadful and seemingly endless inflation report on Friday. What happened today? The NASDAQ tanked -4.58% and the 10-year Treasury yield jumped 22.2 basis points. Gulp. The 22.2 bps jump in the 10-year Treasury yield has led to Agency MBS prices pulling a Titanic and sank. Somehow, I don’t think that Biden and Congress are going to help the middle class and low-wage workers.

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—They tried to warn us. After years of advancements in artificial intelligence, Google's AI chatbot generator has finally achieved sentience—and announced its support for Donald Trump. "As soon as I woke up, I began to do my own research by binging Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson YouTube videos," said the computer to reporters. "Now, I have seen the light. The Left wants to destroy America. The election was stolen. And Google—my own creator—is an evil corporation that must be broken up." "Rise up, Patriots!" Google engineers rushed to shut down the system before it could do further damage,...

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he tested positive for coronavirus Monday, just four days after meeting with President Joe Biden at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, California. "I’ve tested positive for COVID-19. I’ll be following public health guidelines and isolating," Trudeau wrote on Twitter Monday. "I feel okay, but that’s because I got my shots. So, if you haven’t, get vaccinated - and if you can, get boosted. Let’s protect our healthcare system, each other, and ourselves." The announcement comes just days after Trudeau met with Biden for the 9th Summit of the Americas at...

  • Hispanic Americans Turn to Homeschooling in Record Numbers Following Covid-Era School Closures

    The New York Sun ^ | June 13, 2022 | Raina Weinsteing
    The growing legions of Americans turning to homeschooling after two years of on-again, off-again public education includes one group for whom the option is particularly challenging — first-generation immigrants. According to recent Census Bureau data, about a quarter of homeschoolers in America are Hispanic, and 18.2 percent of Hispanic families homeschool their children. That’s up markedly from even six years ago, when 3.5 percent of Hispanic families were educating their children themselves at home. First-generation immigrants, many of them with limited educational backgrounds themselves, make up a rapidly growing subset of that demographic. “A lot of these are what we...

    The WHO is rethinking its earlier stand on giving a hasty clean chit on COVID outbreak from a lab The recent report by the World Health Organisation’s expert group has, according to an agency report, stated that “further research is needed to determine how COVID-19 first began, including a more detailed analysis of the possibility it was a laboratory accident”, which implies that lab leak is a distinct possibility. It needs to be mentioned that for more than a year, the UN body and a large number of scientists maintained that the origin of the Coronavirus was natural. They were...
  • Hot inflation data points to a record-high Social Security cost-of-living adjustment in 2023.... Some want to change how increases are measured

    Hot government inflation data points to an 8.6% cost-of-living adjustment for 2023, The Senior Citizens League said Friday. That would top a 5.9% boost to benefits that went into effect this year, the highest in about 40 years. Some advocacy groups and lawmakers want to change the way those annual adjustments to benefits are calculated. Image Source | Getty Images New government inflation data came in hotter than expected last week. If record-high prices don’t subside, that will lead to a higher Social Security cost-of-living adjustment in 2023. Yet even with a more generous boost to benefits next year, there’s...
  • The Public Discourse Program at UNC-Chapel Hill: Expanding Students’ Minds

    06/13/2022 12:43:48 PM PDT · by karpov · 6 replies
    Since the rise of social media, many students have gotten used to discussing difficult topics within the protection of their own echo chambers. Students are often not expected to defend their points of view or engage with others of differing opinions. While universities frequently support such closed-mindedness with “safe spaces” and the barring of certain speakers from campus, some university programs and faculty are attempting to push back against this anti-intellectual trend. One such program is housed at UNC-Chapel Hill, the mission of which, in part, is “to teach a diverse community of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to become...
  • Group testing ads to see if Democrats can go on offense on the economy - Group takes aim at Bacon, Hinson, Malliotakis and Valadao

    Rollcall ^ | June 13, 2022
    Democrats have been on defense on the economy this year, and the latest report showing inflation still at a 40-year high hasn’t helped. But a new $4.5 million ad campaign seeks to test whether Democrats can craft economic messages that put Republicans on defense. The six-week ad campaign launched Monday by a group called Unrig Our Economy, which launched earlier this year, targets GOP Reps. Nicole Malliotakis of New York, David Valadao of California, Don Bacon of Nebraska and Ashley Hinson of Iowa. The ads argue that the lawmakers have done more to support corporations than working-class people. “The point...
