Listen to “Taxman” as part of...

A small toilet-based sound sensor that can tell the difference between peeing, pooping and diarrhea may one day help prevent cholera outbreaks. "The hope is that this sensor, which is small in footprint and noninvasive in approach, could be deployed to areas where cholera outbreaks are a persistent risk," said researcher Maia Gatlin of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease that can kill within hours if untreated, according to the World Health Organization. So Gatlin and her team wanted to see if they could identify bowel sounds. They tested the idea in a way that...

This comes on the heels of a California task force recommending $569 billion in reparations be allocated to every black person in that state who qualifies as the ancestor of a slave. That adds up to a Golden State payoff of $223,200 each. This is just another way for America’s shameless, leftist race hustlers to get their greedy hands on money earned by completely innocent, hard-working taxpayers. Naturally, flush off their victories in the midterms, New York Democrats are looking...
