These witches of beast-wick must have been wicked hungry. A Canadian nature lover’s attempt to capture wildlife on camera backfired terrifyingly after she inadvertently documented what appeared to be “naked witches eating a carcass” at night right by her house. Social media posts depicting the alleged deer-crunching coven are currently blowing up online, with viewers speculating the nighttime noshers were conducting some sort of satanic ritual. “I don’t know what the heck was up with that,” Corinea Stanhope, 36, told Kennedy News of the spine-tingling sight. “It really freaked us out, it’s not something you see every day.” The Powell...

For reasons that are completely beyond me, newly-minted 2024 presidential candidate Tim Scott decided to go on The View on Monday. As expected, the end result was checkered at best despite Scott doing his best to get his message out as he battled five left-wing hacks being cheered on by an audience of hardcore Democrats. I’ll start with one of the few highlights for the South Carolina senator. In it, he makes some good points about the idea that the United States is systemically racist. Naturally, Sonny Hostin was leading the charge in asserting that for the panel. Was there...

For decades, a giant, inflatable rat with beady eyes, sharp teeth and a pustule-covered belly has loomed over union protests, drawing attention to various labor disputes. As New York City deals with an influx of actual rats, Scabby the Rat has become that rare thing, like Pizza Rat or Buddy the Rat — a rodent New Yorkers can rally behind. But in the era of TikTok and influencer culture, middle-aged Scabby faces a new challenge: staying relevant. “It’s kind of unfortunate, changing times, older members of the public know exactly what the rat is for,” said James Smith, union activity...

The Rushingbrook Children's Choir's rendition of the National Anthem in the Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol was interrupted mid-song by the Capitol Police on the grounds that singing this song is considered "an unauthorized protest." Spokesperson for the choir Christina Chapman Heffernan's attempt to present evidence that the performance was authorized in advance by Reps. Russell Fry, Joe Wilson, and William Timmons was brushed aside by Capitol Police Officer Jack Boute who insisted that "some Capitol visitors might consider it offensive. It is our national anthem. Why should foreign visitors be subjected to it? On top of this,...

Simply irresponsible. Biden’s budget that is! Biden signed the debt ceiling bill craftted by McCarthy (RINO-CA) and Schumer (Communist-NY). Its allows for uncontrolled spending and borrowing for at least 2 years. And as Milton Friedman once said “There is nothing more permanent than a temorary Federal program … or debt limitiations. With Biden signaling that government has gone wild with no controls on fiscal responsibility (and Elizabeth Warren flailing her arms and screaming for regulations on cryptocurrencies), cryptos today are getting demolished. China, Japan and the BRICs realize that there are no controls on ANYTHING coming out of Washington DC....

Florida’s Governor is unfazed by surveys showing him trailing Donald Trump in early 2024 GOP Primary states. Ron DeSantis told Brian Kilmeade he’s only just begun his campaign and that his campaign is in “really good shape” despite being down by double digits in pivotal early states. “I just started running. I mean, a lot of people didn’t know I was going to run or weren’t sure. So I think we’re actually in really good shape in the long run,” DeSantis said. “We’ve got a great plan and I think we’re going to be very strong in Iowa, New Hampshire,...

Kennedy's return to Instagram comes just before he's set to appear with Elon Musk in a Twitter Spaces livestream slated for Monday afternoon Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is back on Instagram more than two years after the platform removed his account for sharing false claims about the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine. Kennedy, 69, was first banned from Instagram in February 2021, after the platform said it had “removed this account for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines," CNN reported at the time. On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that the platform had restored his personal account. “As...

Hundreds of millions of dollars later, the California startup that tried to disrupt pizza delivery has gone belly up. Zume, which had raised a total of $445 million since its founding in 2015, ceased operations last month and is liquidating its assets, according to a report from The Information. Once based in Mountain View but most recently headquartered in Camarillo, the firm planned to cook pizzas in the back of a massive truck, with robots, while en route to customers’ homes. In 2016, Zume delivered its first pies, and positive reviews rolled in on Yelp. But Bloomberg reported that the...

The West is stuck in a dead-end where calling attention to Ukrainian soldiers wearing neo-Nazi uniforms “risks playing into Russian propaganda”, but ignoring it normalises the practice, the New York Times has belatedly admitted. A story which appears to break an important wartime media shibboleth that any critical examination of Ukraine is implicit support for Russia has been published in the New York Times, as it discusses the difficulties of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi-symbol-wearing frontline fighters.

Former Texas Councilman Clayton Perry’s girlfriend stood by him through his recent drunken hit-and-run disaster, but it’s not the first political scandal she has weathered, sources tell The Post. Laura Olson — a four-times-divorced mom of two — has been dating Perry “on and off ” since 2019, a friend of the former city representative told The Post. She stuck by him after he was arrested last November for an alleged drunken hit-and-run and was by the former San Antonio councilman’s side as recently as April 24, when they partied on a float for the Texas Cavaliers River Parade 2023,...

Concept Black Hole Illustration A team of researchers has affirmed Stephen Hawking’s prediction about the evaporation of black holes via Hawking radiation, though they’ve provided a crucial modification. According to their research, the event horizon (the boundary beyond which nothing can escape a black hole’s gravitational pull) is not as important as previously believed in producing Hawking radiation. Instead, gravity and the curvature of spacetime play significant roles in this process. This insight extends the scope of Hawking radiation to all large objects in the universe, implying that, over a sufficiently long period, everything in the universe could evaporate. Research...

Prominent civil rights activist and former Harvard Divinity School philosophy professor Cornel West is running for president, he announced in a social media post Monday. West is running as a presidential candidate not under the Democrat party but the People’s Party, which describes itself as a “major new independent party that will guarantee health care, housing, quality education, and peace to all.” “In these times, I have decided to run for truth and justice which takes the form of running for President of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party,” West said in an announcement video posted...

There's some monkey business going on at this goreng pisang stall in Changi Village. A monkey was recently caught stealing bananas from the hawker, leaving the stallholder feeling helpless after its "friends" came back for more. A TikTok video shared on June 2 showed the primate stealthily grabbing a banana, climbing up to a beam and enjoying the fruit of its "labour", even when it was surrounded by pigeon repellents. "Respect the hustle," said the TikTok user who posted the clip, which has since garnered over 200,000 views. Several netizens appeared to be tickled by this monkey heist. But it...

Mouse pancreas cells with high levels of the protein SRSF1; CSHL Professor Adrian Krainer found that mice with high levels of SRFS1 tend to exhibit intraepithelial neoplasia—a known precursor to the most common form of pancreatic cancer. Credit: Krainer lab/Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Researchers at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory found that the protein SRSF1, which regulates RNA splicing, plays a critical role in the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a deadly form of pancreatic cancer. Elevated levels of SRSF1 lead to inflammation and stimulate tumor growth, while restoring normal levels halts the disease’s progress. This discovery could pave...
