There has not been a U.S. president in recent history who has made the number of blunders or exhibited the confusion of current President Joe Biden. Biden’s cognitive abilities and physical condition have been called into question ever since he took office in 2020. Everyone in the Biden administration has covered for the president but obviously recognized his state as an 80-year-old man with these issues. Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, was a powerhouse of energy during his term, staying on the go and working long hours. When the pandemic reared its head, Trump visited the hospital...

Protesters took their angst out on an Andy Warhol piece of art in Milan, Italy, on Friday by throwing flour on a sports car painted by the pop artist in 1979. The event is just another in the trend being set by Generation Z climate-change activists targeting artwork in galleries and vandalizing them with food or other means. **SNIP** This time, Reuters reported, members of the group Ultima Generazione, or Last Generation, covered Warhol's the BMW Art Car with flour to look like it was covered in snow. According to Ultima Generazione’s website, the group conducts nonviolent civil disobedience actions...

Billionaire Musk, who now owns the tech giant, made the comment after asking users what Twitter should do next. When one suggested bringing back Jones, Musk replied simply: 'No.' Jones, who famously denied the Sandy Hook mass shooting took place, said in a video he did not blame Musk for not allowing him back - and described himself as 'the most controversial figure in the world'.

The Islamic Republic could be faced with global snapback sanctions which would apply even to Russia and China. Iran is trying to maintain an uncompromising stance in every area, but is up against the wall more than it has been in prior years both regarding the IAEA nuclear standoff and in confronting domestic protests. Normally, when the Islamic Republic tries to govern its foreign and internal problems using an iron hand, those it is up against retreat or back down. What is unique now is that Tehran has pulled out the stops against both the IAEA and domestic protesters, and...

Karl Rove’s new “Conservative Victory Project” is nothing but an anti-Tea Party hit team that is gunning for our candidates. So, grassroots conservatives must now all band together and fight back. We must defend the Tea Party! .....We formed this brand new PAC to help Tea Party candidates challenge entrenched big-government Republicans for the nomination. But, in light of recent events, we need to also be ready to defend our conservative incumbents as well. The establishment is gunning for us. They want to crush our movement. We have to fight back! Just last month a former top GOP aide in...

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The United States is seeking an expansion of its military presence in the Philippines under a 2014 defense pact.... ...The Philippines, a former American colony, used to host one of the largest U.S. Navy and Air Force bases outside the American mainland.

olkien made this narration before The Lord of the Rings had found a publisher. He was rather disillusioned, even despairing about it's prospects, and had lost faith in his ability as a writer. He was visiting the house of a friend, and this friend had bought a fairly newfangled device: a tape recorder. After messing with it a bit, recording The Lord's Prayer (to exorcise any evil spirits in it, for Tolkien was a bit suspicious of new tech), his friend suggested that he record his favourite passage from his new book. Tolkien did so, and on replaying it, the...

“It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman” (Proverbs 21:19).

Against the backdrop of major events in American history like the Civil War and the Great Depression, “The Toys that Built America” shares a different story—one that brings new products and nostalgic toys to the forefront as driving forces behind untold cultural and economic shifts

It’s kind of hard to lead an “insurrection” when you are telling everyone to “remain peaceful,” and to “support Capitol Police,” and to “stay peaceful.” Last night Elon Musk reinstated President Trump’s Twitter account. This came hours after a poll of Twitter users asked if the 45th president should be reinstated. More than 15 million people participated in the Twitter poll. ..... Trump’s Twitter account was up and running shortly after Elon Musk agreed to reinstate it. And since his account was taken down on January 8, 2021, his tweets from that week were the last messages he posted on...

The Kennedy family wasn't and isn't perfect but it was always above the likes of the Biden family and the Clinton family. Joseph Junior died as a pilot in a fighter plane in WW2 and both RFK and JFK served as best they could for freedom in that conflict. RFK Junior is now one of the best voices world wide against the trashing of human rights in ridiculous nanny state lockdown responses to Covid-19. In Australia, the freedom movement is very small but its leaders are precious, courageous people standing up against huge odds where PC stupidities dominate all major...

Authorities in the Arab Gulf state of Qatar are prohibiting Jewish visitors from purchasing cooked kosher food or organizing prayer groups during their stay in the country for the World Cup, leading Jewish groups to accuse Doha of reneging on its promise to protect the religious rights of sports fans during the World Cup. Qatar has no diplomatic relations with Israel, but as a condition of its hosting the World Cup, FIFA mandated that Qatar not bar fans based on their nationality. With thousands of Israelis expected to travel to Doha for the games, Qatar agreed to permit Israel to...

Human beings used fire to cook food hundreds of thousands of years earlier than previously thought, an Israeli-led group of researchers has suggested.They found evidence in the 780,000-year-old remains of a huge carp-like fish discovered in northern Israel.The scientists noted "the transition from eating raw food to eating cooked food had dramatic implications for human development and behaviour".The previous earliest evidence of cooking dated from about 170,000 BC.The remains of the two-metre (6.5ft) fish were found at the Gesher Benot Yaaqob archaeological site which spans the River Jordan about 14km (8.5 miles) north of the Sea of Galilee.Researchers led by...

Phalasarna was first mentioned in ancient texts by... Scylax, Strabo, Polybius, Livy and Pliny... The treaty with Polyrrhenia gives evidence that in the third century BC, the inhabitants were engaged in piracy, a common practice of the Cretan city-states.In 69-67 BC, the Roman Republic stormed the city, blocked the harbour with massive masonry and destroyed the whole city. The location of the city was then forgotten, and Phalasarna appears in Venetian records only as a lost city. The site was rediscovered in the 19th century by British explorers Robert Pashley and Captain T. A. B. Spratt.The Temple of Demeter was...
