An internal survey conducted by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee over the weekend finds Green presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein as the preferred choice of a plurality of those members who responded. The organization asked over 43,000 members, of which approximately 3,200 participated in the survey. According to ADC, which regards itself as the largest grassroots Arab American organization in the United States, the survey examined the presidential preferences of its members following the entry of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris into the presidential race. It was conducted in collaboration with Molitico and Community Pulse, covering a period of time from...

Here is the formatted transcript of the video (by ChatGPT): So when everybody leaves, it's just Elon sitting at home brushing his teeth, just a bunch of ideas bouncing around in your head. When did you realize that that's not the case with most people? I think when I was, I don't know, five or six or something, I thought I was insane. It was just strange because it was clear that other people did not... their mind wasn't exploding with ideas. I was like, "Hmm, I'm strange." I don't think you'd necessarily want to be me. People wouldn't like...

Josh Shapiro's role in the coverup of Ellen Greenberg death has come under scrutiny in the recent weeks. Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old teacher, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment on January 26, 2011, with over 20 stab wounds. Josh Shapiro's office ruled Ellen Greenberg's death a suicide, despite her being stabbed 10 times in the chest and 10 times in the back, with two of the stabbings occurring post mortem.

A massive drone attack walloped the military command center Russia is using to wage its war against Ukraine on Saturday. The overnight barrage destroyed ammunition plants and fuel depots in Russia’s Belgorod, Kursk, and Rostov regions. Among the successful targets was the Morozovsk airfield, where Russia keeps its fighter-bomber jets. The Russian airfield has played a crucial role in the Kremlin’s operations against Ukraine. Some of Russia’s anti-aircraft defense systems were also disabled on Saturday by Ukrainian-launched missiles. Russia also lost its B-237 Rostov-on-Don attack submarine, which was sunk Saturday outside Sevastopol in Ukrainian bomb strikes. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense...

In the first major gaffe of her campaign, a heavily inebriated Kamala Harris accidentally chose the wrong Jewish guy named "Shapiro" as her Vice Presidential running mate. "Come on up here Ben! Haha you and your adorable yarmulka hahaha," laughed Harris at the press conference. "I thought you wore glasses? Whatever. Woo, Pennsylvania is ours!" According to sources, Harris was quite defensive when campaign aides pointed out her slight error. "Geez, lay off," said Harris, holding herself up with a parking meter. "He's white, Jewish, and named 'Shapiro'. I was pretty dang close. How different can they really be?"

"No longer are you keeping those private files in some file cabinet. It's on your laptop, and it's then therefore up here in this cloud, that exists above us. It's no longer in a physical place." There are physical servers across the world that contribute to the 'cloud' you dolt. Do you want a president who has a Zoolander level of comprehension of technology?" ...

WASHINGTON — When the Americans freed from Russia stepped on U.S. soil late Thursday night, the first hugs came from a beaming President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The scene showed a dramatic, poignant and possibly life-saving rescue of “wrongly detained” U.S. citizens. It was also the kind of image political election campaigns would pay a fortune to get. Politics, perhaps inevitably, became a subtext to the multinational prisoner swap that freed 16 Westerners from Russia and sent eight Russian spies and at least one convicted assassin back to Russia. Biden, in announcing the hard-fought deal, credited the relationships...

I met my ex on a dating app in 2020. I was ready to settle down, and he seemed to be too, so things got serious quickly. We bought a dog and picked out an engagement ring. Then, it all fell apart when I learned he had three other girlfriends, all of whom thought they were exclusive with him. I have a doctoral degree in public health, specializing in social and behavioral sciences. I'm a smart person, so I blamed myself for missing the signs — though even in retrospect, I couldn't see any. Almost immediately, I realized there were...

While the book of Acts is basically a history of the early church, there is a lot of theology that can be gleaned if the reader just takes the time to really dig into the meat that is marinating in the milk. As I delve into some of that meat, we find Jesus with the disciples at Bethany, where He is ready to ascend into Heaven. Just before He leaves He gives instructions for the men to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the gift He promised from the Father,“And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not...

Multiple videos posted to social media seem to show angry residents trying to keep the public from parts of the beach that they're legally allowed to visit.

Early on a Saturday morning at Rawley Duntley Park in Lancaster — the high-desert sun blazing — George Whitesides, a Democrat running for Congress, was encircled by dozens of cheering, noisemaker-blasting volunteers. “I really want to make sure that even the astronauts out there can hear his name!” Nadia Abrica, an organizing director with the state Democratic Party, shouted, pointing to the sky. “George! George! George!” “Are you guys feeling fired up?” Whitesides asked the crowd. “Are you feeling ready to go? ... Are we going to change the House of Representatives?” “Yes!” they screamed. Whitesides, a former NASA chief...

A Denny’s breakfast platter has apparently become extremely expensive amid choking inflation and labor costs. A post on Reddit shows an image of the restaurant’s menu where the price of the Lumberjack Slam sits at $17.99, the New York Post reported on Friday, noting that a decade ago, the meal cost around $5.99: Click here to see the post. “The hefty price tag doesn’t include the premium option of upgrading the pancakes to double berry banana, cinnamon roll, or ‘choconana’ for an extra $3.09, which would bring the pre-tax, pre-tip total to $21.08,” the Post article said, noting the location...

A major gym chain is being investigated by Missouri's Attorney General after it allowed a trans woman to use a female locker room. Eris Montano, who has legally changed her gender, was accosted by a fellow gym goer whilst at the Ellisville Lifetime Fitness on Monday. A dispute has since ensued and police were ultimately involved, after someone filed a complaint on Friday morning, FirstAlert4 reports.

By opening the door wider to an interest-rate cut in September, the Federal Reserve is on a collision course with the presidential election. For a central bank that judiciously aspires to stay above the fray of partisan politics, confronting a potential policy shift around election time amounts to a lose-lose. Delivering a rate cut ahead of the election could rile up Republicans and former President Donald Trump, but withholding a needed reduction could undermine the economy and upset Democrats. The awkward optics give extra incentive for central bank officials in the coming weeks to set expectations for and explain the...

Explanation: On a road trip up Mount Uludağ in Bursa province, Turkey these motorcyclists found themselves above low clouds and fog in late June. With the bright Sun directly behind them, the view down the side of the great mountain revealed a beautiful, atmospheric glory and fog bow. Known to some as the heiligenschein or the Specter of the Brocken, a glory can also sometimes be seen from airplanes or even high buildings. It often appears to be a dark giant surrounded by a bright halo. Of course the dark giant is just the shadow of the observer (90MB video)...

(applause drowns out her two word comment here).This is possible because of Harvey. He is a wonderful human being, good friend, and just a powerhouse, and the fact that he and his team took the time to make this happen for all of you, should say something, not about me or about this place,...

“If you think a woman can’t beat Donald Trump,” Amy Klobuchar declared, “Nancy Pelosi does it every day.” Speaking from the stage of a Democratic presidential debate in November 2019, the Minnesota senator felt compelled to address head-on one of her party’s central anxieties. Four-plus years later, with Vice President Kamala Harris’s sudden ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket, a woman is again trying to beat Trump in a presidential race—and the machinations of Pelosi, the former House speaker who worked to pressure President Biden out of the race, helped put her in that position. Another woman, Nikki...

This week, Ismail Haniyeh, one of the top three multi-billionaire Hamas leaders, was killed in Tehran by a bomb. He was visiting to meet with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and participate in the inauguration ceremony of new Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. While Iranian authorities initially attributed the death to an Israeli air strike, further analysis revealed that the explosive device had been secretly planted in an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps safe house for visiting friends of the regime two months prior to its remote detonation--a strategy that Pezeshkian characterized as "cowardly." In a statement issued from their luxury hotel...

We are not fans of Kevin McCarthy’s buddy, Frank Luntz. He is not a good pollster and he’s a horrible person. But when he’s right he’s right and in this case his assessment is accurate. It highlights an important idea that must be hammered home in the minds of Republicans.
