As the November elections loom on the horizon, virtually every indicator points to a spectacular defeat for Joe Biden. He has the second-lowest third-year approval ratings of any recent president, and according to reports, Barack Obama is even telling him to drop out of the race. Things aren’t looking good for him at all, and with an increasingly vocal chorus from within the party telling him he can’t win, he’s getting increasingly desperate. During a campaign stop in South Carolina on Saturday that he struggled to get through, Biden, apropos of nothing, decided to resurrect the long-debunked claim against Trump...

Texas Agriculture suffers millions of dollars in damages from the invasion of feral hogs. So, Texas wants to know, what’s causing this feral hog invasion, and how do we deal with it?Texas has the biggest feral hog population in the United States.

I once had to choose between love and truth. I would have chosen love over anything else, but truth was the one thing over which love, unfortunately, did not win. I was in a lose/lose situation; if I stuck to my truth, I stood to lose the love, and if I stuck to the love, I stood to lose myself and by default, eventually, the love as well... ...Truth is what is, what was, and what will be. Truth is a knowing. Truth is a calling. Truth is it. There is only one truth and its unmovable, immutable, inalterable, inflexible...

So how did Trump respond? Find out in this...

Explanation: What color is Pluto, really? It took some effort to figure out. Even given all of the images sent back to Earth when the robotic New Horizons spacecraft sped past Pluto in 2015, processing these multi-spectral frames to approximate what the human eye would see was challenging. The result featured here, released three years after the raw data was acquired by New Horizons, is the highest resolution true color image of Pluto ever taken. Visible in the image is the light-colored, heart-shaped, Tombaugh Regio, with the unexpectedly smooth Sputnik Planitia, made of frozen nitrogen, filling its western lobe. New...
