On Monday morning at around 7.30 a.m. the woman was caught on camera by appalled locals posing for pictures with just a red strip of material covering her front, in front of the cathedral doors, which were cast in 1067 in the-then Constantinople, and beneath a mosaic of St. Andrew, whose relics are said to be housed inside. The location of the shoot was particularly hurtful to members of the community, said art historian and writer Laura Thayer, who who lives in Amalfi "The Duomo is a place of worship and a place very close to the hearts of the...

The San Francisco 49ers are sending second-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024 to the Carolina Panthers for star running back Christian McCaffrey, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday night. The deal gives San Francisco the offensive weapon needed to compete for a Super Bowl. It also gives McCaffrey a chance to be on a winning team for the first time since his rookie season in 2017 when Carolina went 11-5 and return to the Bay Area where he starred in college at Stanford. When healthy, McCaffrey is one of the best dual...

The Moscow-installed authorities of the port city of Mariupol, which fell to Russian forces after a devastating siege earlier in the year, took down a monument to Ukrainian victims of Stalin's famine on Wednesday. Kyiv has been calling the 1930s man-made hunger under Josef Stalin a "genocide," while Moscow has been downplaying it as an episode of famine all over the Soviet Union. The state-run RIA Novosti news agency published a video of a truck uprooting the monument in Mariupol. "We are not taking out a memorial, we are getting rid of a symbol of the political disinformation of the...

I found these images on my hard drive. Thought I would share them. Cannot say how old they are, since they were in a file marked Old Windows Images, and I have been using a MAC for 5 years. In this series of photos, you will see a polar bear come upon some sled dogs tethered to a stake. Oh boy…..Normally you would think that a dog tethered to a stake would be lunch for a polar bear, but these pictures tell a completely different story. From what I can see, the polar bear just wanted to play and...

Researchers from were able to identify a new approach for the therapy of colorectal cancer (CRC). In preclinical models as well as in studies on human immune cells, they found that urolithin A, a metabolite product of the pomegranate, sustainably improves the function of immune cells in their combat against cancer. After treatment with urolithin A, tumor-fighting immune cells, so-called cytotoxic T cells, become T memory stem cells: Potent immune stem cells that, due to their ability to divide, constantly supply the immune system with rejuvenated, non-exhausted T cells. This inhibits cancer growth by directly modulating the immune system. Current...

Germany's national network regulator says gas consumption last week was down 31% compared to figures from 2018-2021. Officials say that has to do with unseasonably warm weather as well as heightened consumer awareness. According to the Bundesnetzagentur, Germany's federal network regulator, households and light industry in the country consumed less gas last week than the average for the same period between 2018-2021. The news followed a similar find from the week prior. Agency President Klaus Müller said households consumed an average of 608 gigawatt-hours per day in calendar week 41, compared to 881 GWh/day in previous years — a drop...

A team of researchers investigated the impact of whole and ground almonds on the composition of gut microbes. The gut microbiome consists of thousands of micro-organisms living in the gut. These play a vital role in digesting nutrients and can have a positive or negative influence on our health, including our digestive and immune systems. Researchers recruited 87 healthy adults who were already eating less than the recommended amount of dietary fiber and who snacked on typical unhealthy snacks (e.g. chocolate, crisps). Participants were split into three groups: one group changed their snacks for 56 g of whole almonds a...

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - Democrats elected their political future in 2018. Now, that bench of potential statewideleaders could get wiped out. The last midterm election saw a slate of Democratic rising stars roll into Congress on a wave of anti-Trump resentment and fundraising prowess built on top of that backlash. Now, with a few House terms under their belts, they are prime candidates to run statewide in the future - but first, they must survive their first election that isn’t dominated by former President Donald Trump. “Everyone” in Michigan thinks Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), will “run statewide,” said Jason Cabel Roe,...

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro.’s overflowing campaign coffers underscore the importance of Pennsylvania to national politics—and the influence of government unions in elections. With four weeks remaining until the mid-term elections, Shapiro reported raising a whopping $25.4 million in his latest campaign-finance report, bringing his total to a record $50.9 million since the beginning of 2021. This represents 47 percent more than Governor Tom Wolf raised in four years as an incumbent running for reelection. By contrast, Republican gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano has raised just over $5 million since the beginning of 2021. Slightly more than half of Shapiro’s total...

Hans Niemann, the 19-year-old Grandmaster embroiled in a cheating scandal, filed a lawsuit against world champion Magnus Carlsen, Chess.com, grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, and others, seeking $100 million in damages. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of slander, libel, unlawful group boycott, tortious interference with business, and civil conspiracy. Niemann defeated Carlsen in an over-the-board match at the Sinquefield Cup in Missouri in early September. Afterward, Carlsen withdrew from the tournament, posting a vague tweet that implied he couldn't say more about his reasons for withdrawing. Weeks later, during an online match against Niemann at the Julius Baer Cup, Carlsen quit after...

Poopy-pants did it AGAIN. This is becoming a regular occurrence, where the leader of the Free World, seriously, does not know where he is: HOW SENILE LOOKS ON THE WORLD STAGE

Twenty days out from the general election, Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina took Democrats and the media to task for trying to sweep an incident, in which Democrat U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman held an innocent black jogger at gunpoint, under the rug. "I can't even believe it," Scott said during a town hall hosted by Sean Hannity in York, Pennsylvania, that was broadcast on Fox News Channel. "A person puts a shotgun in a man's chest — an innocent man," Scott noted. "Imagine it being a white Republican putting a shotgun in the chest of a black...

A Throne Set in HeavenRuth 2:12 May YHVH repay your work, and a full reward be given you by ELoHY of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”As then say in Brooklyn, Such a deal!And keep in mind the phrase ‘under whose wings…’One day as I was reading through the book of Revelation and read through this section…Revelation 4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7. The first living creature...

“Biden goes to bat for John Fetterman in Pennsylvania,” reads the headline from Bloomberg. If so, Joe Biden appears to have struck out. And Fetterman apparently never came up to bat. In fact, one has to wonder what in the hell the White House or Team Fetterman was thinking by having Joe Biden drop in on this state. Josh Shapiro is more or less on cruise control in the Keystone State’s gubernatorial race, leading Doug Mastriano in every poll and maintaining a seven-point lead in the RCP aggregate average.

Democrat AG Dana Nessel, who literally promoted her lack of a penis as a reason to vote for her in 2018, became so intoxicated at the MSU-UM game that she was removed from the stadium in a wheelchair. ...... Snip...... The Gateway Pundit recently learned that Attorney General Dana Nessel forced her security detail to sign Non-Disclosure Statements (NDAs) following the incident where they wheeled her to a car passed out drunk in a wheelchair and then tossed her in the car for a ride home from the football game.

Ulta beauty proved last weekend that at least one person in is marketing department is ulta-stupid, as the company’s Twitter feed was forced to turn off public comments on a post featuring two grown men reminiscing about “girlhood.” Which ended up being just as creepy as it sounds. The beauty supply mega-chain, which operates more than 1,300 stores across the U.S., blasted out a video clip from a podcast by a guy named David Lopez, a “gender-fluid” man with a beard and long flowing tresses (also still known as a man, given the lack of a uterus). Lopez was joined...

Dr. Oz finally does not trail John Fetterman in a poll, as Doug Mastriano is NOT done yet! I analyze the state of Pennsylvania for the 2022 Midterms in this video.

Joe Biden has a problem. As he grapples with plunging poll numbers, he's still touching young girls inappropriately. Is he unable or unwilling to keep his hands off of young children? Join Mark as he delves into Biden's history of histrionics. Then watch as Jill Biden gets booed out of an NFL stadium. It's Biden-time as the Midterms approach..
