Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, author of The Price of Principle: Why Integrity Is Worth the Consequences, said Democrats are unable to credit former President Donald Trump for securing the Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates due to severe partisanship and animus towards the the 45th president.“I think in general, [President Joe Biden’s] trip to the Middle East has been building on the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords,” Dershowitz said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak. “I can’t get a Democrat to agree that the Abraham Accords have moved the ball toward peace....

It has been a busy time for solar activity. Back in March of 2022, Earth was hit by separate geomagnetic storms, according to government weather agencies in the U.S. and the U.K. Though the geomagnetic storms likely didn't cause any harm, they brought into focus the potential harm that could come from more powerful storms in the future. Then earlier this month, a G1-class geomagnetic storm hit the Earth, causing bright auroras over Canada. The only problem is that nobody saw this storm coming until it was quite late. Five days ago, a giant sunspot and filaments on the solar...

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Tuesday, the Russian state-owned news agency RIA reported Monday, citing spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

The special Texas House Panel’s report on the Uvalde school shooting reveals that the attacker’s uncle drove him to the gun store believing the attacker was getting food, but he got a rifle instead. According to the report, the uncle drove the attacker “to the gun store twice.” On the first trip, the uncle indicated he “did not know they were going to pick up a rifle…the store is connected to a popular restaurant, and the attacker said he was hungry.” However, the attacker went into the store and “When he returned with a long box and no food, it...

BERLIN (AP) — Officials from 40 countries met Monday in Berlin to discuss how to stay focused on fighting the increasing impacts of climate change while the world reels from the economic fallout of the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The U.N. secretary general admonished countries to take action instead of playing a “blame game.” U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that the global warming limit of 1.5 Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) agreed in the 2015 Paris climate accord was slipping further out of reach. “No nation is immune,” he said. “Yet we continue to feed our fossil fuel addiction.”...

China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) is reportedly looking at a minimum of two locations for future battery factories in Mexico. Reports claim that the upcoming facilities will be built to provide batteries for both Tesla and Ford. While most global automakers are now moving forward with EVs, Tesla is still the global leader, and Ford is considered by many – including Tesla CEO Elon Musk – as an emerging leader in the segment.

If you believe only 5% of all Twitter accounts are spam or fake, boy HOWDY do we have a bridge to sell you.

KYIV, Ukraine—Russia ordered its forces to target the long-range missiles and artillery weapons that Western countries have recently supplied to Ukraine, a sign of how Kyiv’s additional firepower has begun to reshape the conflict. On Monday, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told a group of Russian troops to make Ukraine’s long-range weaponry a priority target to prevent shelling in parts of eastern Ukraine held by Russian forces, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. A recent shipment of advanced Western weapons has reinforced Ukraine’s efforts to fend off Russia’s invasion. Whether those weapons will enable Kyiv to turn the tide remains unclear,...

Most of us can remember our favorite childhood popsicles, ice creams or even choc ices, whether they were dished out from the home freezer, bought from a shop or purchased from a tinkling ice cream van. While many popular varieties are still around for a nostalgic treat, others have been put on ice forever. Here are some of the best frozen treats that have been discontinued – and that we wish would make a comeback.

A woman having an incomplete miscarriage was refused help by doctors at her local emergency room as they felt they had to enforce Wisconsin's 1849 ban on abortions. The unidentified woman bled for ten days after staff refused to remove the fetal tissue from her uterus. They reportedly feared they would be in violation of the 170-year-old law, which came back into effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. Carley Zeal, a gynecologist at Mercyhealth Cancer Center in southern Wisconsin, gave her medication to expel the fetal tissue. Because the medicine needed to end a miscarriage is similar...

The COVID-19 pandemic has led people to wear face masks daily in public. Although the effectiveness of face masks against viral transmission has been extensively studied, there have been few reports on potential hygiene issues due to bacteria and fungi attached to the face masks. We aimed to (1) quantify and identify the bacteria and fungi attaching to the masks, and (2) investigate whether the mask-attached microbes could be associated with the types and usage of the masks and individual lifestyles. We surveyed 109 volunteers on their mask usage and lifestyles, and cultured bacteria and fungi from either the face-side...

Apparently more and more pregnant women are going to die now that Roe is overturned … and not just from abortions. Women who are forced to stay pregnant and not murder their innocent children are at a higher risk of getting murdered as well now that Roe is overturned, according to Jezebel’s June 14 piece. Last week a Missouri man reportedly murdered his wife after a “heated argument about his affair with another woman.” The man’s wife was supposedly six weeks pregnant and used her phone to search “what to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant,” according...

Aborters in da House! The House passed the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act on Friday, July 15 in an effort to help secure the right to murder innocent babies nationwide, HuffPost reported.

On July 8 Biden signed an executive orderto expand abortion rights and one week later, the House passed these two pro-abortion laws. The Women’s Health Protection Act aims to codify Roe’s protections and reportedly passed...
