The billionaire Koch brothers’ network of donor-class organizations is lobbying members of Congress to pass an amnesty for illegal alien farmworkers ahead of the November midterm elections. Last week, executives from the Koch-funded Libre Initiative joined officials from former President George W. Bush’s administration as well as farm owners to ask Republicans and Democrats to pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act — an amnesty for as many as 2.1 million illegal aliens working on United States farms. In a news release, Libre Initiative executives wrote that passing the amnesty plan is vital ahead of the midterm elections where Republicans are...

Beto O’Rourke is defending the F-bomb he dropped Wednesday night while confronting a heckler who he said was laughing during his remarks about the Uvalde mass shooting that killed 19 elementary school students and two teachers. The incident occurred during a rally in Mineral Wells as O’Rourke began talking about the need to curb mass shootings like the one that happened May 24 at Robb Elementary School. A man in the crowd could be seen and heard laughing as O’Rourke talked about Uvalde, prompting the Democratic nominee for governor to respond with an expletive.

The FBI executed a pre-dawn raid on Roger Stone's home in 2019. Twenty-nine FBI agents in tactical gear arrived in 17 vehicles to arrest 66 year old Roger Stone who was wearing his pajamas. "A SWAT team, searching the house, scaring his wife, scaring his dogs-it was completely unnecessary," Stone's attorney said. Trump said, "Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better."The FBI learned nothing from that fiasco. In 2022, the FBI used the exact same playbook and executed an early morning raid on the Mar-a-Lago home of ex-president of the United States, Donald Trump. Trump did not...

VIDEOBoth the hosts of Breaking Points, Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball, are resolutely anti-Trump. However, both admit that "This is still the Trump era" and that there is nothing they can do about it no matter how much they hate the fact that President Donald Trump continues to dominate the news during this, the "Trump Era."

The majority of Americans would rather a national popular vote total decide presidential elections than the Electoral College vote totals, a survey from the think tank Pew Research Center has found. The survey sampled more than 6,000 Americans, discovering that 63 percent would prefer presidential elections be decided by the national popular vote. Conversely, just 35 percent of respondents favored keeping “the current system, in which the candidate who wins the most votes in the Electoral College wins the election,” the survey found.

Explanation: On August 11, 2021 a multi-mirror, 17 meter-diameter MAGIC telescope reflected this starry night sky from the Roque de los Muchachos European Northern Observatory on the Canary Island of La Palma. MAGIC stands for Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov. The telescopes can see the brief flashes of optical light produced in particle air showers as high-energy gamma rays impact the Earth's upper atmosphere. To the dark-adapted eye the mirror segments offer a tantalizing reflection of stars and nebulae along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. But directly behind the segmented mirror telescope, low on the horizon, lies the...

"Over and over again democRATs win before the battle has truly begun and for one simple and obvious reason…they cheat. Okay they do that but it is actually because they change the language that they ‘win’. It’s like they have Satan’s marketing director on retainer or something. It is actually the MSM covering for and colluding with them, but same difference. To combat this The Shed has come up with an easy to remember system to deal with it. Step 1 is..."

A hydrogel-based implant could replace worn-out cartilage and alleviate knee pain without replacing the entire joint. Credit: Benjamin Wiley, Duke University. Over-the-counter pain relievers, physical therapy, steroid injections—some people have tried it all and are still dealing with knee pain. Often knee pain comes from the progressive wear and tear of cartilage known as osteoarthritis, which affects nearly one in six adults—867 million people—worldwide. For those who want to avoid replacing the entire knee joint, there may soon be another option that could help patients get back on their feet fast, pain-free, and stay that way.

The wrestling match over the Pledge of Allegiance at Fargo School Board meetings has reached a resolution. In a 7-2 vote on Tuesday, the school board moved to not recite the pledge before their meetings. The debate goes back to February when a motion to have the Pledge recited at meetings, brought forward by board member David Paulson, died for a lack of a motion for a second. The matter worked its way back to a March board meeting, where it passed. The Pledge has been recited at the start of each board meeting since April 12. Board Vice President...

Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered remarks at 2:30 3:04 PM Eastern on the unprecedented raid on President Donald Trump’s home. Garland has not commented on the raid up to this point. On Monday at least 30 FBI agents and 3 DOJ officials raided Mar-a-Lago in their continued fishing expedition to manufacture a crime against the 45th President. Garland today basically admitted they have nothing on President Trump. He could not identify ANYTHING the president did that was illegal. This confirms that the 9 hour raid on President Trump’s home was a fishing expedition — or they were after documents that...

SAN FRANCISCO — The young kings of Silicon Valley are dismounting their unicorns. They’re writing sentimental blog posts that outline their legacies. They’re expressing hope for their companies’ prospects. They’re quitting their jobs leading the startups they founded.

The resignations signify...

Here is just one excerpt of many that tells you everything ....."The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC), in partnership with the Washington Interfaith Staff Community (WISC), held a Prayer Service for members of Congress, their staffs, and all who work at and protect the U.S. Capitol building. The Prayer Service was organized to bear witness to the trauma and destruction caused by the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and, through compassionate interfaith sharing and mutual support, to bring comfort and hope to all who work at the Capitol complex."

The presence of an infectious disease in a community has a way of fueling misinformation like wildfire. And in bigger outbreaks, like the 2022 monkeypox outbreak that's now officially a global health emergency, the spread of misinformation can be dangerous.

"A country loses faith in its future when its citizens no longer dare to have children", said former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, mindful of being part of the "Flakhelfer" generation, the children used as auxiliaries of the Luftwaffe in the terrible days of the end of the war. Thirty percent of German women today will never have children. They had thought that the society in transformation, selfish and consumerist, which is satisfied with a BMW in the garage, quiet holidays in Carinthia and in Italy, professional mobility, and silence, was sustainable. More than a decade ago, the late historian Bernard Lewis...

Astronomers have long sought the launch sites for some of the highest-energy protons in our galaxy. Now a study using 12 years of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope confirms that one supernova remnant is just such a place.

Did Trump punk Meritless Garland and Potato Head Wray? Remember back in the beginning of Trump's presidency when he had several leaks in the administration. Trump set up a sting to identify the leaker. It was successful. Beginning to think that Trump identified a potential traitor and set him/her up with some fake info about Russian hoax or Jan 6 documents. Notice the specific action to bring in a safe cracker. Here they are days later with nothing to show for it except dog feces all over themselves.

China’s deflating property bubble is imperiling the world’s second-largest economy with effects that could ripple for years. Home prices are dropping in many cities after a long period of increases, data from Chinese real-estate developers and official statistics show. Sales of apartments nationwide by the country’s largest developers have slumped annually for 13 consecutive months, according to industry-data provider China Real Estate Information Corp. And millions of “presold” apartments that buyers have paid for remain unfinished, leading some purchasers to threaten to withhold mortgage payments. Home buyers could refuse to pay back up to $370 billion in home loans if...
