In a new analysis of several polls, Gallup concludes that while Americans support the idea of diversity on college campuses, they “do not like the idea of colleges using race and ethnicity as a factor in decisions on college admissions.” The pro-diversity claim is that a student body filled with people of myriad backrounds — racially, ethnically, economically, religiously — enriches the higher education experience and produces stronger leaders. And while Americans in general support that goal, they do not support using race as a factor. For instance, Gallup reported, “In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, for example, 58% of respondents...

Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted joined local officials in East Palestine over the weekend in drinking city water from the tap, in a bid to convince residents the municipal water supply is safe following a train derailment and chemical spill. Husted, a Republican, joined US Rep. Bill Johnson, Ohio EPA Director Anne Vogel, and East Palestine's mayor, fire chief and police chief in a joint event to drink the water on camera. 'You all just saw us drink a glass of water. Our municipal water here in East Palestine is safe,' said Mayor Trent R. Conaway. 'If you have well...

The aide said that the hospital stay could rage from weeks to more than a month, but added that the stay would "likely" last less than two months.

The American presidency is one of the strangest jobs in the world. Politicians aspire to it. The media focuses obsessively on the person who holds it and those who want to win it. Millions of books and articles have been written about it. And yet, most of the people who’ve held the job really weren’t that good. There are a few truly great presidents, some pretty good ones and a handful of complete disasters. But most can be summed up, as the Simpsons famously once did, as the “adequate, forgettable, occasionally regrettable, caretaker presidents of the U.S.A.” In fairness, the...

A guest on MSNBC launched a racially charged attack against ​former Ambassador to the United Nations ​Nikki Haley on Sunday night, accusing the Republican presidential candidate of using her “brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points.” “​I see her​ ​and I feel sad because she uses her brown skin as a weapon against poor black folks and poor brown folks, and she uses her brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points​,” Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali said on “The Mehdi Hasan Show.” ​

Ancient tools, buried for millions of years in Kenya, may be the oldest example yet of our ancestors' technological prowess. The tools, recently discovered on the Homa Peninsula in Lake Victoria, are now the earliest known examples of Oldowan technology — stretching its known start date back by as many as 400,000 years.

The Oakwood Village Fire Department said 13 people were injured and taken to a hospital. One of them was in critical condition, the news report said. Fire Capt. Brian DiRocco said he saw some burn victims at...

Once upon a time we mocked the Soviet Union for its gerontocracy. Aged party leaders, bundled up in overcoats and fur hats to the point of near-unrecognizability, would be wheeled out to sit, immobile, as parades passed or party congresses opened. Their withered, stale leadership was emblematic of the decaying USSR’s withered, stale ideology — and industrial base. But now the joke’s on us. A leading United States senator, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), can’t seem to remember important things, like her just-taken vote on a judicial nominee and her just-announced retirement. “Did I vote for that?” she asked an aide Wednesday,...

Archbishop Viganò: FBI targeting Catholics is a ‘logical consequence’ of Pope Francis persecuting the faithfulThis criminalization of dissent by temporal and spiritual powers is not accidental and ought to arouse a very firm condemnation and decisive opposition.The following is an essay by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò regarding the FBI’s surveillance of Catholics who attend the Latin Mass.Ideo inter vos multi infirmi et imbecilles, et dormiunt multi.Therefore, there are many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.I Cor 11:30The totem of freedom of worship allows Satan worshippers to erect a blasphemous monument to Baphomet in front of the Arkansas State...

For patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), treatment with talazoparib (TALA) plus enzalutamide (ENZA) is better than placebo (PBO) plus ENZA, according to a study. Neeraj Agarwal, M.D. and colleagues randomly assigned patients with mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic mCRPC, with disease progression and receiving androgen deprivation therapy and no prior life-prolonging therapy for CRPC, to receive TALA + ENZA or PBO + ENZA as first-line treatment (402 and 403 patients, respectively). The researchers found that the median imaging-based progression-free survival (ibPFS) was significantly improved in the TALA + ENZA arm compared with the PBO + ENZA arm (not reached...

A pregnant Florida woman charged with fatally shooting a mother of three in an Uber last year is arguing to be let out of jail because her unborn child hasn’t committed a crime. In an unusual legal argument, attorneys for Natalia Harrell, 24, filed a motion on behalf of her fetus, asserting that it shouldn’t be behind bars without being charged with an offense. “The State has placed the unborn child in such inherently dangerous environment by placing the unborn child in close proximity to violent criminal offenders,” the filing asserts. Harrell’s child, it argues, is receiving inadequate pre-natal care...

I was like, huh? FRE*H TROPICAL FRUIT

The large balloons sighted recently in the western hemisphere from South America, Canada, Alaska, and the continental United States, and the shooting down of the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of South Carolina has resulted in eyes being drawn to the skies looking for further developments in the appearance of unannounced aircraft. It has also come to light that massive balloons have been sighted before near the United States, but did not previously make the news headlines. The wreckage of the Chinese spy balloon shot down off South Carolina was quickly recovered by navy...

Summary: 1 Thess 5:19-21 -- Do not quench the Spirit, but test all things. Here are the eight questions: 1. Asbury has seen 8 revivals since 1890: Why is this college being picked by the Holy Spirit? 2. Asbury is part of the Wesleyan Holiness movement; they are orthodox believers but tend to deemphasize sin, judgment, wrath, and repentance: which are necessary for biblical revival. The Gospel has to be the centerpiece-- but its not apparent. 3. Who is endorsing this revival? Todd Bentley, Sean Feucht, Shane Claiborne. 4. Other Christian colleges are reporting similar revivals. Why not the secular...

A team used the drug fasudil to reverse two common symptoms associated with schizophrenia: reduced density of pyramidal neurons and cognitive dysfunction associated with methamphetamine treatment. Genetic vulnerability is generally accepted to be involved in the development of schizophrenia. One key genetic factor involved is copy-number variation, a genetic trait in which people have different numbers of a particular gene. In particular, variations in the copy number of the ARHGAP10 gene are associated with symptoms of schizophrenia. ARHGAP10 encodes a protein that is involved in regulation of the Rho GTPase family of enzymes. Among these Rho GTPase family members, a...
