a Harvard professor thinks that he may have discovered evidence of alien life in the Pacific Ocean. Professor Avi Loeb recently concluded a $1.5 million expedition searching for indications of an enigmatic meteor called IM1. This meteor crashed near the Papua New Guinea coastline in 2014 and is speculated to originate from interstellar space. During that expedition, Harvard’s Professor Loeb, who is no stranger to controversies regarding his views on extraterrestrial life, found evidence of what he thinks may have been a part of an alien spacecraft, or at the very least, something of extraterrestrial origin. Expedition to find the...

“Abraham Lincoln said, "America will never be defeated from outside. If we falter and lose our freedom, it will come from the inside.” Introduction Never in my wildest dreams did I envision that my once very modern and beautiful country, Iran, would fall into the hands of Muslim extremists who did not possess one iota of humanity. Never in my wildest dream did I envision that I would likely never see the country of my birth again. My teenage years in Iran were full of joy, excitement, and happiness. Iran was a developing country. Despite its rapid growth and obstacles,...

On the verge of tears, Nathan Nkunzimana recalled watching a video of a child being molested and another of a woman being killed. Eight hours a day, his job as a content moderator for a Facebook contractor required him to look at horrors so the world wouldn’t have to. Some overwhelmed colleagues would scream or cry, he said. Now, Nkunzimana is among nearly 200 former employees in Kenya who are suing Facebook and local contractor Sama over working conditions that could have implications for social media moderators around the world. It is the first known court challenge outside the United...

A Florida woman who shot a mom of four dead through her locked front door was once branded a “psycho” by a responding deputy after repeatedly calling cops to complain about the victim’s noisy kids.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Monday on “CNN This Morning” that Americans value their guns more than their fellow citizens’ lives. Scott said, “Well, my community knows this. We know that when you think about this country and the history of mass shootings, most of the time when we talk about this, we’re talking about it being a school in a rural community or a suburban white community. When it happens in Baltimore or Chicago or D.C., it doesn’t get that same attention. These black American lives, children’s lives matter just as much as anyone else. We’re just asking for...

When in the course of human events, a woke partisan mob, in collaboration with Wall Street globalists, social media oligarchs, and a propagandist corporate media seize the reins of power, it becomes necessary for the people most victimized to throw these rascals out. To this end, we hold these truths to be self-evident: American taxpayers are entitled to a fair return on the investments they make through tax payments and sound governance. They must not be treated as instruments of a Marxian redistribution of income to advance Leftist causes. A country in which only a minority of its citizens pays...

Explanation: Why is Venus so different from Earth? To help find out, Japan launched the robotic Akatsuki spacecraft which entered orbit around Venus late in 2015 after an unplanned five-year adventure around the inner Solar System. Even though Akatsuki was past its original planned lifetime, the spacecraft and instruments were operating so well that much of its original mission was reinstated. Also known as the Venus Climate Orbiter, Akatsuki's instruments investigated unknowns about Earth's sister planet, including whether volcanoes are still active, whether lightning occurs in the dense atmosphere, and why wind speeds greatly exceed the planet's rotation speed. In...

Among the many trends the pandemic accelerated, one of the least noted has been the increase in so-called cashless toll roads—highways where electronic fee-collection systems have replaced human toll collectors. Now, as traffic returns to pre-pandemic levels, another trend is plaguing these new systems: fare evasion. Around the country, turnpike authorities and bridge and tunnel operators are logging hundreds of millions of dollars in losses as scofflaws find increasingly inventive ways to outfox the systems. Though advocates say that the losses represent a small portion of total revenues, some officials are contemplating raising tolls to account for the shortfalls—in the...

The measure (SB 1416) includes doing away with what is known as permanent alimony. DeSantis' approval came a year after he nixed a similar bill that sought to eliminate permanent alimony and set up a formula for alimony amounts based on the length of marriage. The approval drew an outcry from members of the "First Wives Advocacy Group," a coalition of mostly older women who receive permanent alimony and who assert that their lives will be upended without the payments.

Major benefactors to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – Morteza ‘Mori’ Hosseini and his wife Forough – have donated tens of thousands of dollars to a political action committee (PAC) funding the Democratic Party leaders, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the lead impeachment manager against former President Donald J. Trump, Jamie Raskin.Hosseini’s donations to the Iranian American Political Action Committee – Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) span from 2004 to 2011, under his name, as well as aliases “Morteza Hosseini Kargar”, and “Morteza Hosseini-Kargar“. During the same period, the PAAIA PAC funded various Democrat groups, including Friends...

Feast of Saint Thomas, Apostle; John 20:24–29 Friends, today’s Gospel tells of Thomas’ doubting the Resurrection. Indeed, Catholicism has a rich tradition of questioning, seeking understanding.Aquinas, another great St. Thomas, spent much of his life asking and answering hard questions about the faith.Do you remember Hamlet’s great line, “There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio”? If we stubbornly said—even in the area of science—that we will accept only what we can clearly see and touch and control, we wouldn’t know much about reality.There is, in most areas of life, a play...

A fundraiser for a French policeman who 'executed' a teenager during a traffic stop has reached more than €1million (almost £900,000) - dwarfing the €189,000 donated to the victim's devastated family. Nationwide riots were sparked after the cop shot Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old with an Algerian background, at point blank in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday. Many – including members of Nahel's family – said the killing was symptomatic of widespread racism towards ethnic minority groups in France, and Nahel's grandmother said she was 'heartbroken' by the support shown for the policeman.
