Locally sourced grapes and imported tar pitches may have been the norms for winemakers along the coast of Italy during the Roman period, according to jars recovered from the ocean near the harbor of San Felice Circeo. Three different wine jars, or amphorae, were recovered and analyzed, giving researchers a useful insight into the practices for producing wine in this particular region in 1–2 century BCE, part of the late Greco-Italic period. What makes the research particularly notable is that it combines some of the latest chemical analysis techniques with other approaches used in archaeobotany to discover more about these...

VIDEORarely has anybody every demonstrated such joy as Philadelphia's Mayor James Kenney did when he jubilantly performed his "Sanctuary City" dance in 2018. Well, that over the top joy has now been completely replaced by very sad gloom when Kenney glumly announced with deep sadness that he just wanted to give up being mayor. To get an idea of how happy Kenney was in 2018 that Philly would be a sanctuary city, I actually tried to replicate his "Sanctuary City" dance. However, despite practicing it over and over many, many times I could never quite do it. The missing element...

How does the physical world work? That’s hard to figure out,” President Larry Arnn said at a meeting in June with the governor of Tennessee. “Education is the study of how to teach,” Arnn (pictured) said in the video. “Is that a separate art?

The purpose of the January 6 committee is to further the lie that there was nothing seriously wrong with the 2020 election and to criminalize any questioning of the election. The January 6 riot gives the committee a nice hook, but that’s not what they really care about. They want to prevent you from admitting the election was irregular, faulty, or anything less than the most perfect election in the history of mankind, and from supporting people who fought against those irregularities. In service of this goal, the January 6 committee repeatedly lied about the actual claims Donald Trump supporters...

In his new book “The Return: Trump’s 2024 Comeback” (Humanix Books), Morris claims that voters who have buyer’s remorse with...
