Previously unseen pictures of Elon Musk are being auctioned by his college girlfriend. He and Jennifer Gwynne dated in 1994 and 1995 when he studied at the University of Pennsylvania. The collection of pictures are being sold by Boston-based RR Auction with bids closing on Thursday. They might have dated almost three decades ago, but Elon Musk's university girlfriend has decided that now is the right time to sell pictures she took of him back then. Musk and Jennifer Gwynne began dating in the fall of 1994 when they both lived in a dorm at the University of Pennsylvania, according...

I can’t believe it’s happening! But it is. Russia is pushed back even further. You’ll hear an interception from the Kharkiv region to find more insight about how they retreat. Also some exciting news from Moscow - some deputies are openly against Putin! Hopefully, there will be even more good news in the near future :)

The Social Democrats were hoping to maintain power in Sweden following the 2022 Election. It's power they have held most of the time through the decades but it appears that the grouping of four parties that includes the Sweden Democrats has won the contest for a majority of the 349 seats in the Riksdag (Parliament)...

“A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved” (Proverbs 12:3).

The Gettysburg Address celebrated “government of the people, by the people, for the people,” echoing the ideals of the Enlightenment: equality for all, and liberation from the yoke of tyrannical rulers. Since 1863 when Abraham Lincoln made his iconic speech, the “government of the people” bit has just purred along without a glitch. There has been no dearth of individuals wanting to rule others, whether by election or by birthright. The people have been thoroughly governed, and governed more still. The “government for the people” bit has had its ups and downs. Every government claims it rules for the people...

In a Newsmax exclusive interview, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani retraces his steps to Ground Zero, 20 years removed from September 11, reflecting on the decisions he made to keep New Yorkers safe on that fateful day.

When Emmanuel Obeng-Dankwa is worried about making rent on his New York City apartment, he sometimes holds off on filling his blood pressure medication. “If there’s no money, I prefer to skip the medication to being homeless,” said Obeng-Dankwa, a 58-year-old security guard. He is among a majority of adults in the U.S. who say that health care is not handled well in the country, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll reveals that public satisfaction with the U.S. health care system is remarkably low, with fewer than half of Americans...

An elected official who allegedly murdered an investigative reporter in Las Vegas will remain in office for months and still get paid while he sits in prison. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was denied bail last week after he was charged in the stabbing death of Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal journalist who had been probing Telles’ alleged misconduct in office.

Curtis Sliwa voices concern about the memory of the September 11 fleeing Americans: "You better wake up because in some cave in south Yemen, in Afghanistan, there's a group of men honoring their jihadists .. they intend on dong it again. America beware. We put this out of sight, out of mind but they never forget and they always prepare and they are ready to come at us again."

Scientists said Saturday they had identified the mechanism through which air pollution triggers lung cancer in non-smokers, a discovery one expert hailed as "an important step for science—and for society". The research illustrated the health risk posed by the tiny particles. Air pollution has long been thought to be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. "But we didn't really know whether pollution was directly causing lung cancer—or how," Swanton told AFP. Traditionally it has been thought that exposure to carcinogens, such as those in cigarette smoke or pollution, causes DNA mutations that...

Like a scene out of an apocalyptic movie, a raging California wildfire pumped out a monster cloud towering 40,000 feet into the atmosphere on Thursday. As the Mosquito Fire tore across Tahoe National Forest, making a 5,000-acre run across the American River and pushing into the El Dorado County town of Volcanoville, the cloud grew and grew. [...] Alan Brewer, a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, got a much closer look from a plane with a team of scientists who were flying along the side of the massive wall of sooty air to better understand fire behavior...

The Russians are “regrouping” so rapidly in the Kharkiv region that Ukrainian troops barely have time to captured all the weapons and equipments during the offensive in Kharkiv region but they manage to captured so many weapons abandon by Russian Army. Several photo appeared in the public domain indicating that during the offensive in the Kharkiv Region, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took as a trophy the enemy command and staff vehicle R-149МА1, which is an element of the automated control system of the Russian military, known under the designations “Sozvezdie” and “ESU TK”. It seems that...

Doctors hail new era for cancer screening as major research shows effectiveness of Galleri test Doctors have told health services to prepare for a new era of cancer screening after a study found a simple blood test could spot multiple cancer types in patients before they develop clear symptoms. The Pathfinder study offered the blood test to more than 6,600 adults aged 50 and over, and detected dozens of new cases of disease. Many cancers were at an early stage and nearly three-quarters were forms not routinely screened for. It is the first time results from the Galleri test, which...

A new era begins on Sunday when Shannon Bream debuts as the new, permanent anchor of "FOX News Sunday," but viewers can expect the tradition of hard-hitting questions to continue. "What viewers can expect is what they've always gotten, which is hard-hitting, straight journalism, news of the day. We're going to talk to policymakers, we're going to press them for answers. I think that's what the American people want," Bream told Fox News Digital.

There are always people who say that the Russian army is fighting offensively, why not carry out a large in-depth assault with tanks and quickly encircle and cut off the enemy? The Russian tank forces were supposed to form up an iron barrel array on the front and gradually smash into the Ukrainian lines with fire. The Russian tank forces were supposed to form up an iron barrel array on the front and gradually smash into the Ukrainian lines with fire. Can the Russian General Staff fight a war? Now to talk about the large-scale in-depth assault and encirclement of...

Everyone suspected this for a long time, and some, quite likely, knew about it for sure- and now, apparently, the suspicion was confirmed. On September 7 of this year, the already well-known publication The WarZone, published a details article on how the US rushed Harpoon anti-ship missile to Ukraine. On Tuesday, one of the Pentagon’s biggest customers shed light on how the US supplied Ukraine with RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, which he said were used to sink two Russian warships. Advisor to the Secretary of Defense William LaPlante, responsible for the acquisition, delivery, maintenance of weapons and technology (and much...

But is that actually a good thing?Retiring on Social Security alone is a dangerous thing. That’s because those benefits will only replace about 40% of the typical worker’s pre-retirement income, and most seniors need about twice as much money to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.But the reality is that a lot of people do end up retiring solely or largely on Social Security. And it’s those same people who are apt to be the most impacted by Social Security raises.Each year, benefits are subject to a cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, based on inflation levels. Since inflation has been sky-high this year,...

Patients with high-risk melanoma who received the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab both before and after surgery to remove cancerous tissue had a significantly lower risk of their cancer recurring than similar patients who received the drug only after surgery. "It's not just what you give, it's when you give it. The S1801 study demonstrates the same treatment for resectable melanoma given before surgery can generate better outcomes," Patel said. "In this case, we used the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. This treatment relies on the presence of pre-existing T cells coming in contact with cancer cells in the body to generate an...

t does not go unnoticed that the raid on the Trump family home at Mar-a-Lago comes just a few months before the mid-term elections. A vast majority of Republican candidates running for office have been endorsed by former President Trump. Trump has been campaigning and endorsing candidates across the country, and in the primaries those endorsed by him won their place on the ballot, far outnumbered those who did not. These and other instances leading up to the mid-terms have Democrats worried. Casting shade on the former president could certainly have an effect on those candidates in their races at...
