Researchers at Tel Aviv University conducted a study with Egyptian fruit bats to explore cognitive abilities like episodic memory and planning, previously thought unique to humans. They used GPS trackers to monitor the bats’ movements and found that bats could track fruit tree locations and fruiting times, showing abilities to remember past experiences and plan for future needs. ====================================================================================== Research on Egyptian fruit bats revealed their capability for memory and planning, challenging the notion that these cognitive abilities are uniquely human.

The largest organization of socialists in America cheered Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate for 2024, saying it showed they and the left “are a force that cannot be ignored.” “Harris choosing Walz as a running mate has shown the world that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored,” Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) boasted on X. The Uncommitted movement, in which DSA members played crucial roles nationally and in multiple states, pressured the Democratic establishment into choosing a new candidate and backing down...

ATLANTA — Georgia's State Election Board voted Tuesday to require county election officials to make a “reasonable inquiry” before certifying election results to the state, signaling that fights about approving election results could intensify this November in the South's premier battleground state. Supporters say the measure is needed because members of county election boards must swear statements that results are accurate and need to be able to adequately assure themselves that the totals are correct before doing so.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that abortion rights are “about the ever-widening circle of freedom in this country,” and “The Founders had a beautiful vision for our country,” “but they couldn’t put it in the Constitution. But thank God they made it amendable.” So freedom expanded on subjects like the abolition of slavery and ending voting discrimination on the basis of race and gender, which were done by constitutional amendments, until Roe v. Wade was overturned. Pelosi stated, “Trump, the worst job record of any president since Herbert Hoover....

Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice for a running mate has a history of far-left positions and actions on immigration issues, a review of his record reveals.

And, of course, a free pass for the Muslim mobs whose presence must not even be mentioned. Daniel Greenfield - "Hang Together or Separately" @Sultanknish This is UK Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood Now do you understand why the UK police and the Labour regime are letting Muslim mobs freely attack British people while ruthlessly cracking down on protests against migrant violence? Shabana Mahmood MP @ShabanaMahmood My message to anyone who chooses to take part in this violence and thuggery is simple: the police, courts and prisons stand ready and you will face the consequences of your appalling acts. Ministers prepare...

Prior to two weeks ago, Kamala Harris’ political career was defined by two things: Being America’s most liberal senator and the most unpopular vice president since we started polling. The popularity problem was easy enough to solve. After she was dubiously installed as the Democratic standard bearer, the media charm offensive and meme onslaught began. Harris now has a degree of superficial popularity such that she’s not the toxic figure she was a few months ago.

I’ve now been in full time ministry work with Wisconsin Christian News for over 25 years. For over 25 years, I’ve been sounding the alarm and doing my best to send out “wake up calls” to Christians, who see the evil in our land, but feel powerless to do anything about it, because they’ve never been trained for the work of the ministry. They’ve never been asked to do anything, other than greet people at the door, hand out programs, pass the collection plate or work in the nursery — all within the four walls of their own churches. Others...

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris picked a running mate, Tim Walz, known for severe COVID-19 restrictions as Minnesota's governor, including a hotline on which residents could report each other for violating his stay-at-home executive order. Walz's administration threatened the medical license of his 2022 Republican challenger, Scott Jensen, who won Minnesota's Family Physician of the Year award in 2016, for COVID wrongthink. Two of its five investigations were opened after Jensen entered the race.

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard may be on the watchlist of a secret domestic surveillance program designed to sniff out potential terrorists. And it may be related, in part, to her willingness to speak out about Vice President Kamala Harris’s shortcomings as a leader. Undercover DC is reporting that several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that Gabbard is enrolled in the TSA’s Quiet Skies program which has its own compartmentalized watchlist of suspected terrorists.

Russia has lost two helicopters and two main battle tanks in its efforts to fend off a cross-border raid into the Kursk region, reports suggest, as Russian sources suggest Kyiv's forces encroached several miles into Russian territory during the surprise assault.

Someone once sent me a thought-provoking editorial cartoon. I can’t reproduce it because it contains some vile language. So, I will just describe it and clean up the language. The cartoon depicts in four panels a conversation between two young people in their twenties — a man and a woman. The woman was wearing the Democrat Party symbol. In the first panel, the man says, “I don’t believe that women should have any rights, and I think gays should be hanged.” The young woman responds, “Wow! What a complete primitive idiot you are! You must be a Republican!” “No,” responds...

If you know where to look, there is already plenty of information on what Harris is going to do if she has the chance to impose California’s liberal progressive agenda on the entire nation. Long before fate made Kamala Harris the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party for U.S. President, the Washington Post published an article critical of how she treats staff. The article, published in December of 2021, reported high staff turnover and claimed it “opens up questions about her management style.” What were they thinking? Very recent top search results on the Washington Post’s coverage of Harris only...
