My hometown was small. Woods bordered the east and west. I watched the sun rise and set into round green hills. The woods were thick enough to support my brothers' hunting squirrels and deer for food and fur. "We buy raw fur" read a sign hanging from a metal chain at the Van Ness farm stand. Horses grazed in a pasture at the end of the street, across from St. Francis Church. Men emerged from one factory coated in silver dust from head to foot. In another, women made candles in stifling heat and deafening noise. A DuPont munitions plant...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson heralded President Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia the night earlier as an “urgent wartime address.” According to Robinson, it was “significant” that Biden called out his predecessor and “MAGA Republicans. “The speech last night to me sounded like a president delivering a wartime address,” he said. “And indeed, Joe Biden sees this as a battle for the soul of our country. It’s a battle for the preservation of our democracy. To me, the significant thing was, yes, he called out Donald Trump — but he also called out the MAGA...

NEW ORLEANS (WDSU/CNN Newsource/WKRC) - A baggage handler at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport got her hair caught on the conveyer belt, resulting in her tragic death. "She said 'Mom I'm on my way to work' I said 'Okay I'll see you when you get home,'" said Angela Dorsey, Jermani Thompson 's mother. But she never made it home. Thompson always seemed to have a basketball in her hands. "She was a basketball guru. She loved basketball. That was her thing," Dorsey said. Word quickly began to spread Tuesday night that the 26-year-old had been killed in an industrial...

All eyes will be on the historic Launch Complex 39B when the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lift off for the first time from NASA's modernized Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion’s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery prior to the first flight with crew on Artemis II.

Throughout his time in politics, Fetterman has embraced the type of failed policies that have made the once great city of Philadelphia into a crime-ridden, poverty-stricken dystopia. Now he wants to champion those policies in Washington, D.C. These radical left-wing policies that have devastated cities throughout the country will do nothing but turn the United States into Philadelphia. Consider Fetterman's position on illegal immigration. The country is experiencing its worst border crisis in history. Illegal immigrants are crossing the border in record numbers. Throughout his political career, Fetterman has supported illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. He is on record as...

In Part 1 of our series on Fog Data Science, we saw how when you give some apps permission to view your location, it can end up being packaged and sold to numerous other companies.

[MANY MEMES AT SITE. TOO NUMEROUS TO POST.............RB 😁] I have nothing to say about Joe Biden's speech Thursday night because it would require me taking him seriously. Biden wants our angry overreaction. He gets nothing but mockery and ridicule. It was an unhinged rant that only happened on cable news, which no one watches, and will only be discussed on Twitter, which most of America doesn’t use. I'm saving my outrage for the left's gaslighting over school closures. Here's a brief recap of Thursday night's derp. Not that Twitter didn't have fun with the visuals. Biden's handlers propped Ol'...

Millions of Britons could be asked to limit energy use this winter to head off blackouts by avoiding using gas and electricity at peak times and turning off the lights on days when the wind doesn't blow, an energy expert has warned. Kathryn Porter, from consultancy Watt-Logic, said it was possible households could be asked not to use energy guzzling appliances at peak hours or eat their dinner at a different time.

This week, Arizona Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs released an ad touting her new “tough on border security” policy position. The ad was immediately met with surprise and disbelief, due to Hobbs’ pivot to an issue she has largely ignored in the past, and to the two sheriffs she chose to feature. Hobbs’ 30-second spot features fellow Democrats Santa Cruz County Sheriff David Hathaway and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. Both sheriffs are known for their open-borders positions. In fact, when Nanos was running for the Sheriff’s Office position in 2020, he promised to reject the much-needed federal border security...
