Scientists have documented an abnormal and dramatic surge in sea levels along the U.S. gulf and southeastern coastlines since about 2010, raising new questions about whether New Orleans, Miami, Houston and other coastal communities might be even more at risk from rising seas than once predicted. The acceleration, while relatively short-lived so far, could have far-reaching consequences in an area of the United States that has seen massive development as the wetlands, mangroves and shorelines that once protected it are shrinking. An already vulnerable landscape that is home to millions of people is growing more vulnerable, more quickly, potentially putting...

This was in response to criticism of inaction on the part of authorities to delve deeper into motivations and/or refusing to release the manifesto of the Transgender Killer of Nashville.

Hunter Biden's lawyer claimed there will be '3 more', in text messages with a right-wing nonprofit about Donald Trump’s arrest. The heated text exchange, between hotshot Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris and a 'researcher' working with the conservative think tank Marco Polo, has raised questions over what the First Son's legal team know about prosecutors' plans against the former President. The news comes as Morris sued Marco Polo and its founder, former Trump White House staffer Garrett Ziegler, in a Los Angeles court last week for alleged harassment, invasion of privacy and 'criminal impersonation' over the nonprofit's investigation into Hunter's abandoned...

One of the more enigmatic figures from early Christian history is Saint Veronica—the woman known to Catholics from the Sixth Station of the Cross, who is said to have wiped the face of Jesus while He carried His cross on the road to Calvary. There is a memorable and beautifully presented sequence of scenes featuring Veronica in Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ. But nowhere is the woman or the incident described mentioned in Sacred Scripture. To learn about Veronica, we must turn to extra-biblical sources. The first mention of a woman named Veronica associated with Our Lord may be...

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was reportedly assaulted by a man in a dress and mobbed by verbally abusive protesters after giving a speech Thursday at San Francisco State University. Rather than denounce the violence or castigate protesters for hounding the 23-year-old All-American swimmer into hiding for three hours, the university instead extolled those responsible. Jamillah Moore, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management at SFSU, issued a statement thanking students involved in the protest, which at one stage devolved further into an extortionist effort. -snip In addition to allegedly being struck multiple times by a man in a...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) may be on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to abortion rights, but on the conflicting rulings about abortion pills they agree: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should "ignore" a Texas federal judge's decision to halt the approval of abortion medication.</p>
