Unlike the Watergate hearings, the Benghazi hearings, all past impeachment hearings, or the House Un-American Activities Committee, this committee does not have a single person who might present a challenging set of questions for any of the witnesses brought before the American people. From Supreme Court confirmation hearings to the aforementioned congressional proceedings to the OJ Simpson murder trial to the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial to any episode of Judge Judy, the American people have come to expect that we would hear "the other side" to every issue put before us. No matter how paltry the defense of any...

Brad Pitt has detailed his struggle with a rare 'face blindness' condition - admitting that 'nobody believes' him when he talks about it. The actor, 58, believes he suffers from prosopagnosia, an inability to recognize faces that usually affects the person for most or all of their life. Many people with the condition can't even recognize family members, partners or friends and cope by using alternative ways to recognize people, such as remembering the way they walk, or their hairstyle, voice or clothing. While Brad has not been formally diagnosed with the condition he has long believed himself to be...

"Don't bring a bike to a car fight." That might be the takeaway from a video that has gone viral since its posting July 4 on Twitter. The location of the event is uncertain, but it shows motorcyclists kicking an SUV numerous times on its exterior panels for an unknown reason at an intersection. The SUV driver was apparently in no mood to turn the other cheek and turned his own vehicle into a snowplow of sorts, smashing into one of the biker's motorcycles and continuing to push it down the street while a motorcyclist desperately tried to stop the...

Joe Biden has shipped five million barrels from the United States' Strategic Oil Reserve abroad, after claiming that releasing them would help ease Americans' pain at the pumps. The president faces accusations of a sneaky sleight of hand as it was revealed that between a fifth and a sixth of the reserve oil he bragged about releasing to boost supply made its way offshore to Europe and Asia in June. Biden authorized the release of a million barrels a day from April onwards. But his action has done little to combat soaring gas prices, with the national average sitting at...

Biden’s new campaign theme for the midterms: economic darkness, darkness. Well, this is one way to get inflation under control … crash the economy. And inflation fears growing, we are seeing mortgage rates declining and mortgage applications increasing. Mortgage applications decreased 5.4 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending July 1, 2022. This week’s results include a holiday adjustment to account for early closings the Friday before Independence Day. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 4 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index...

The Wisconsin woman charged with chopping off her sex partner’s head, putting it in a bucket, and directing the authorities where to look for the victim’s body parts pleaded not guilty in a Brown County courtroom on Tuesday.

The charges stem from what’s alleged to have been a meth-fueled episode of sex and murder in late...

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, TURKEY ISLAND, July 2, 1862. The following is an account of the battles fought in front of Richmond on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, being the fifth, sixth and seventh days of the engagement. On Sunday morning, the corps of Gen. SUMNER and Gen. FRANKLIN were left in the works at Fair Oaks, with instructions to evacuate, and protect the baggage and supply trains on their way to James River. They had hardly left their position, and were falling back on the railroad and Williamsburgh Turnpike, when the rebels discovered the movement, and immediately started in...

e year was 1748, the place was Philadelphia, and the book was The Instructor, a popular British manual for everything from arithmetic to letter-writing to caring for horses’ hooves. Benjamin Franklin had set himself to adapting it for the American colonies. Though Franklin already had a long and successful career by this point, he needed to find a way to convince colonial book-buyers—who for the most part didn’t even formally study arithmetic—that his version of George Fisher’s textbook was worth the investment. Franklin made all sorts of changes throughout the book, from place names to inserting colonial histories, but he...

Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont claimed Connecticut is the “most family-friendly state in America” while bragging about its “strong” pro-abortion laws in an open letter Thursday to business owners. Addressing companies in states that protect unborn babies from abortion, Lamont urged their owners to relocate to Connecticut, The Hartford Courant reports. “Now more than ever is the time to look at Connecticut as the future home of your business,” Lamont wrote in a letter co-signed by Lt Gov.
