    Just imagine a world in which, almost overnight, the transport system breaks down. Flights across the world are cancelled, leaving thousands of travellers stranded far from home. Airports are crowded with mobs of angry, frightened people. Even greater throngs descend on the railway stations, desperate to squeeze on to the horribly overcrowded trains.

    Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas) was sworn in as the newest House member on Tuesday after making headlines last week for flipping Texas’s 34th Congressional District red. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) held a ceremonial swearing-in ceremony for Flores on the House floor at just after 6:30 p.m. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) stood beside her as she recited the oath of office. She was surrounded by members of the Texas delegation. The House chamber erupted in cheers and applause when Flores completed the oath. Flores was elected to fill the seat held by Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela (Texas), who resigned...

    She recounted how her daughter’s at-first-lesbian and then trans identity emerged in response to feelings of shame about being white. Their schools compulsively tell their children how awful it is to be white, how white people enjoy unearned “privilege,” how they benefit from “systems” put in place by and for white people for the sole purpose of oppressing “people of color.” Plagued by guilt, the children—almost all of them girls—rush to the sanctuary of “LGBTQ+” identity. Once there, they are catapulted into hero status.
  • The US economy will grind to a halt in the 2nd half of 2023 and the following year won't be much better, BofA says as it slashes its growth forecast

    Bank of America has sounded the alarm on the US economy, predicting growth will stall next year and that the likelihood of a recession will surge. In a note published on Friday — two days after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 basis points — analysts said the Fed was too slow to aggressively tackle inflation, which is running at a 40-year high, and abruptly scrambling to get on top of it. Now the bank sees GDP growth slowing to nearly zero by the second half of 2023 because of the influence of tighter financial conditions. While the...

    Cancel culture? Boo! It’s an attack on our freedoms by the terminally woke! There are limits, and sometimes we liberals go too far. We deserve a kicking. We deserve a Ted Cruz-approved cancellation. So, I’m joining all you right-wingers in the fight against the new global Antichrist: Buzz Lightyear. Don’t worry; we don’t have to hold hands during a demo – I know you feel that might be “a bit gay”. Which leads me to the point of why we have to boycott Buzz. What, readers? You haven’t heard of this one? I’m sure that once you have, you’ll feel...

    New documents exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital reveal that the U.S. Army is teaching West Point cadets critical race theory (CRT), including addressing "whiteness." Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the documents from government watchdog group Judicial Watch, whichhad to sue the military twice under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to get the information. "Our military is under attack – from within," Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in the press release. "These documents show racist, anti-American CRT propaganda is being used to try to radicalize our rising generation of Army leadership at West Point."

    As the nation waits for the Supreme Court to rule on Roe v. Wade, Minnesota is working to get ahead of any decision. That means being ready if the court does decide to overturn that 1973 decision that makes abortion legal in all 50 states. Minnesota and Illinois are the only states in the upper Midwest that where abortion rights are solid in their constitutional law, and would see no change to abortion access should the ruling be overturned. A federal law falling will not change anything in either state. However, Minnesota is preparing for an Influx of people coming...

    If it’s true that Gross has allowed Sweeney to ascend to fourth place, Monday’s announcement likely harkens to one of the great political maneuvers in the past decade. Sweeney, a registered Republican, is the proverbial darling of resource development organizations throughout Alaska. Her empassioned advocacy on behalf of the North Slope and the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation put her distinctly at odds with the crunchy environmentalism that defined Gross’ campaigns. One of the few things either camp had in common were relationships to opponents of the Pebble Mine project in western Alaska. Those opponents share something else in common: an...

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - It was supposed to be a “recovery day.” After working 41 hours in three days caring for COVID patients, Katie Slayton had the day off on Sept. 22, 2021. A single mother of a five-year-old son, the Williamson County nurse had dropped him off at daycare that evening so she could run to the mall. A few hours later, she picked him up and prepared to pull out of the parking spot when she saw police lights directly behind her. What would happen next would result in devastating consequences: charges of DUI and felony child neglect,...

    [Catholic Caucus] Monastery St Benoît: Dissolved Community Answers Bishop ReyFather Alcuin Reid's Benedictines responded June 21 to reports that Fréjus-Toulon Bishop Dominique Rey had suppressed their community.The monks announced they will continue their lives waiting for “better times” on their property which is controlled by a civil association. The statement declares that it is false that the monks refused to meet Rey.According to the statement, Reid "repeatedly asked to meet" with Rey, explaining that they missed one summons because it did not arrive until the day after the scheduled meeting, and another because Reid was not in France on the...

    One of my favorite non-religious fiction books of all time is World War Z (An Oral History of the Zombie War) by author Max Brooks (the son of Mel Brooks). Despite its ominous title, the book isn’t so much about zombies and gore, as it is about human behavior and what people do when a crisis happens. What was more fascinating, was the way the book was formatted. It was written in such a way as to chronicle the global crisis after the fact, as the main character was tasked by the United Nations with documenting the viral outbreak from...

    Explanation: Does the Sun return to the same spot on the sky every day? No. A better and more visual answer to that question is an analemma, a composite of images taken at the same time and from the same place over the course of a year. The featured analemma was compiled at 4:30 pm many afternoons from Taiwan during 2021, with the city skyline of Taipei in the foreground, including tall Taipei 101. The Sun's location in December -- at the December solstice -- is shown on the far left, while its location at the June solstice is captured...

    The ink hadn’t even dried on my story on the death on June 12 of a healthy young teenager, 17-year-old Gwen Casten, who died in her sleep when I read this article about another high-profile vaccine-related death of a healthy 34-year-old who also apparently died in her sleep on Jun 20, 2022, just 8 days after Gwen Casten died.IMPORTANT NOTE: The cause of Dani Hampson’s death has not been revealed but how does someone die in the very early hours of the morning you are going to be married? It’s most likely she died in her sleep.However, the rest of...

    President Biden said Tuesday that there’s enough COVID relief funding to get through “at least this year,” but the administration needs more money for vaccines for children and “to plan for the second pandemic.” Congress has not approved a $10 billion COVID funding request, despite the Biden administration’s insistence that the money is needed for future COVID variants and worldwide vaccination efforts. […] “We have to think ahead, and that’s not something the last outfit did very well. That’s something we’ve been doing fairly well. That’s why we need the money,” the president said. …

    A type of cancer treatment known as CAR T therapy has shown great promise for blood cancer treatments in the last decade, but too often, patients relapse within a short time. Now, a team of researchers has uncovered some critical clues about why—potentially leading to treatments to prevent these relapses. CAR T therapy involves isolating virus-fighting T cells from a patient's blood and genetically modifying them with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), which target surface marker expressed on cancer cells. It has proven particularly effective in fighting blood cancers such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. However, remissions...
  • The realization of measurement induced quantum phases on a trapped-ion quantum computer

    Phys.org ^ | JUNE 20, 2022 | Ingrid Fadelli ,
    Trapped-ion quantum computers are quantum devices in which trapped ions vibrate together and are fully isolated from the external environment. These computers can be particularly useful for investigating and realizing various quantum physics states. Researchers at NIST/University of Maryland and Duke University have recently used a trapped-ion quantum computer to realize two measurement-induced quantum phases, namely the pure phase and mixed or coding phase during a purification phase transition. Their findings, published in a paper in Nature Physics, contribute to the experimental understanding of many-body quantum systems. To measure the purification phase transition first outlined by Gullans and Huse, the...
