Bloomberg News got caught covering up Tim Walz’s stolen valor. “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Tim Walz previously said. Walz never deployed. WATCH: Tim Walz dropped out of the Army after his unit was deployed to Iraq. Bloomberg reporter Josh Green stealth-edited his piece to swap out “Iraq” for “Italy.” Did Walz mislead the Bloomberg reporter? Bloomberg’s original piece with Walz’s lie about being a combat veteran in Iraq:

a stone-cold socialist ... Tim Walz has never "carried" a weapon "in war" because Tim Walz - citizen soldier - has never been to war. The closest he got to a battlefield in 25 years in various Guard units was a deployment to Italy.... In late summer of 2003 ... when his unit got called up for deployment to an actual war zone in 2005 and Tim Walz had been appointed as their command's acting senior enlisted leader? Tim Walz bugged out on his guys. "Retired" to run for Congress, while everyone else he'd trained with left for battlefields in...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “GMA3,” Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) responded to criticisms of 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) handling of riots in the state in 2020 by stating that a governor’s job “is to de-escalate, to protect public safety, to bring calm. That’s what Tim Walz was doing in that moment, he was trying to de-escalate.” Co-host Erielle Reshef asked, “Governor, Republicans are taking the opportunity to go after Walz for his record and what they say was a missed opportunity or mishap during the protests in his own state, a mishandling of...

The year's biggest and best meteor shower is upon us, and NASA officials are urging Americans to flee the city this weekend. The Perseid meteor shower, set to peak from the evening of Sunday through Monday, could produce 50 to 75 shooting stars per hour. But the US space agency warned that if you live in an urban area, light pollution could dim the cosmic show. Skygazers should head outside between 12am and 5:30am to see the meteors streak through a pre-dawn sky. This peak period occurs when there is almost no moon and the sky is especially dark, providing...

Evidence has been building about the health benefits of probiotics. Now, new research has found that putting a tablespoon of honey on your yogurt helps the probiotics it contains to survive in the gut. It’s a win-win combination that’s both healthy and delicious. Humans love to ferment food and drinks – think kimchi, kombucha and beer – and we’ve been doing it for tens of thousands of years. Yogurt is a fermented favorite. Conventional yogurts are produced by fermenting milk using a standard ‘starter culture’ of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus bacterial species; probiotic yogurts supplement the starter culture with probiotic strains...

On Wednesday, NASA announced another delay in bringing home Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams during a news conference, with the...

The carvings at Göbekli Tepe even show the movements of the constellations. Image credit: Dr Martin Sweatman Acataclysmic comet impact 13,000 years ago may have sparked the rise of civilization, according to the authors of a new study. The event – which many scientists believe never happened – may even be documented at the world-famous site of Göbekli Tepe, forming part of a series of carvings that the researchers say represent the world’s oldest solar calendar. Located in southern Türkiye, Göbekli Tepe is a pre-pottery Neolithic complex that is estimated to be around 12,000 years old. Analyzing an intricately carved...

Jim Justice and his family in contempt, saying they failed to meet the terms of a settlement agreement over mine safety fines, continually made payments late and whiffed five months ago on paying the final amount of nearly a half-million dollars.

Explanation: To some, they look like battlements, here protecting us against the center of the Milky Way. The Three Merlons, also called the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, stand tall today because they are made of dense dolomite rock which has better resisted erosion than surrounding softer rock. They formed about 250 million years ago and so are comparable in age with one of the great extinctions of life on Earth. A leading hypothesis is that this great extinction was triggered by an asteroid about 10-km across, larger in size than Mount Everest, impacting the Earth. Humans have gazed up at...

A top police officer in Birmingham has seemingly admitted that there is a “two-tier” approach from law enforcement towards different ethnicities in Britain, undercutting denials from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Following the emergence of “Muslim people” mobs in England as apparent counter to what’s called “far right” riots, with reports stating some carrying weapons in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham on Monday, the police appeared to admit they have different standards for different races while trying to explain their failure to prevent the anarchic scenes. When pressed as to why there was such little police presence during the...

Florida's largest insurer has requested a 13.5 percent rate hike but says it needs a nearly 93 percent increase to match the competitive market. Citizens Property Insurance Corp. is currently requesting a more modest hike from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) because state regulations cap the amount rates can increase annually. Brian Donovan, Citizens' chief actuary, said in a hearing last week that this would increase the average price of homeowners multi-peril policies, the insurer's most common type of policy, from $3,560 to $4,041.
