    BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Fox45 obtained exclusive video capturing the assault of 74-year-old David Philpot near the corner of Eastern Ave and Ann in Fells Point. Philpot died early Sunday morning after being taken to the hospital, according to his family. Baltimore Police say on August 17 around 2:45 p.m., a 74-year-old man was assaulted by an unidentified white male in the 1700 block of Eastern Avenue. The assault followed an argument between the two, according to officials. The video shows the suspect of the assault approaching Philpot, while Philpot was walking his dog named Chip. The suspect actually pets Chip...
  • The Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius Wasn’t Pompeii’s Only Killer

    While the volcano’s eruption was deadly, research shows that many people in the ancient Roman city died in building collapses from the earthquake associated with the outburst. Pompeii was destroyed by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., entombing residents under layers of volcanic ash. But there is more to this story of an ancient Roman city’s doom. Research published Thursday in the journal Frontiers in Earth Science offers proof that Pompeii was simultaneously wrecked by a massive earthquake. The discovery establishes a new timeline for the city’s demise and shows that fresh approaches to research can reveal...

    President Kamala Harris spoke to a high school football team about what it means to be a role model and added that part of being a leader is knowing they would be “undefeated” if even they did not win each game. While speaking to football players from Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Harris spoke to the team about how the United States was “counting on” them and their “excellence,” applauding the players for their “ambition.”
  • Gain-of-Function Mutation Found in Monkeypox

    Mutation L108F in MPXV is a ‘gain-of-function’ mutation, which most likely enhances processivity, changes sensitivity to nucleoside inhibitors, and fidelity of DNA synthesis. The following information comes via Dr. Peter McCullough’s substack and the Kanan study. Monkeypox virus is a smallpox-like viral infection transmitted from animals to humans. In 2022, HHS Secretary Becerra declared US Monkeypox a public health emergency. Monkeypox occurred almost solely in gay or bisexual men with intense sexual contact. They ended up with blisters around the anus, buttocks, or mouth. The emergency ended in 2023. The primary drug was the Bavarian Nordic Jynneos vaccine. With that...
  • Want a dedicated chair and an electrical outlet? For journalists at the DNC, the price starts at $751.

    As thousands of journalists come to Chicago next week to cover the Democratic National Convention, many of their newsrooms will be forking over a large chunk of money to gain a certain level of access, internet speed, and even seating inside the United Center. For an assigned chair at a table with access to an electrical outlet at the DNC, that will cost a newsroom $751. Missed the advance rate? That will now be $911. And dedicated hard-line internet costs are separate. “I took a deep breath and I rolled my eyes,” said Erika Hobbs, who oversees the Austin Weekly...

    One of my prized possessions is an electric guitar painted and signed by Green Day. My father won it at a charity auction and gave it to me. Growing up, at least one of the albums Dookie, Nimrod, or American Idiot were loaded up in the CD player in Dad’s truck at all times. I went to college in Berkeley, California, where the band came up in the ’90s. Three decades on, the punk-rock trio still has their mark on Berkeley. One local doctor known for liberally writing certain prescriptions has a signed Green Day record on the wall. Legend...

    BBC ^ | Aug 18 | BBC
    Dozens of workers from around the world may have been trafficked into the UK to work for a small family-owned Scottish fishing firm, a BBC investigation has revealed. Thirty-five men from the Philippines, Ghana, India and Sri Lanka were recognised as victims of modern slavery by the Home Office after being referred to it between 2012 and 2020. The workers were employed by TN Trawlers and its sister companies, owned by the Nicholson family, based in the small town of Annan on the southern coast of Scotland. The TN Group denied any allegation of modern slavery or human trafficking and...
  • Every graduate of elite NYC Jewish high school avoids Columbia for first time in decades

    None of this year’s graduates of an elite Upper East Side Jewish high school will be attending Columbia University’s premier liberal arts college for the first time in decades at least partly because of antisemitism. “For the first time in over 20 years, we will not have a Ramaz graduate enrolling in Columbia College,” Ramaz said in a statement Sunday to The Post. One Ramaz student enrolled at Columbia’s school of General Studies, and three students enrolled in Columbia-affiliated Barnard College for women — but none at the college, it said. Ramaz indicated that anti-Israel protests and hostility toward Jewish...

    Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's revenge tour is sputtering to an end this week, with just one primary win to show for it. Why it matters: McCarthy's former colleagues complain he's effectively lit millions of dollars on fire and made it harder for new leaders to do their jobs. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is expected to win easily on Tuesday despite a McCarthy-linked PAC spending more than $3 million against him. "McCarthy thinks about me a lot more than I think about him," Gaetz told us. Between the lines: Multiple House Republicans and senior staff took issue with McCarthy's public...

    Maureen Dowd, columnist for the New York Times, penned a tongue-in-cheek op-ed knocking the Democrats for all their talk about democracy after their “coup” against President Joe Biden. Published on Saturday, the column from Maureen Dowd highlights how high-level Democrat leaders, from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi, worked behind the scenes to push Biden into dropping out, which may generate some bad blood going into the Democratic National Convention (DNC) next week.

    The City of Chicago is feverishly erecting miles of security fencing all around the downtown area as the city gears up for the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which kicks off on Monday. The security fencing is not only going up around the United Center and McCormick Place, but fencing is also being erected up and down retail areas along Michigan Avenue, also known as the “Magnificent Mile.” In addition, fencing is going up around the areas designated as protest zones.

    Population control organization Planned Parenthood will have a presence at this week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago where it will be offering up free abortions and vasectomies. In a post to X, the St. Louis-based branch said that medical baby killing as well as male sterilization services would be provided gratis on Monday and Tuesday in the vehicle which will be parked on the crime-ridden city’s West Loop. “Here we come, Chicago! Our mobile health clinic will be in the West Loop with @ChiAbortionFund & @TheWienerCircle Aug 19-20, providing FREE vasectomies & medication abortion,” the post read. “EC will also...

    Our national security is currently predicated on a fantasy; the pipe dream of gender equality, the fantasy of the female warrior meeting our enemies on the field of battle and defeating them in combat. It is a Potemkin Village that will implode like a house of cards the moment the first shot is fired in anger. The lunatic idea of female warriors is promulgated by Hollywood. For 25 years, we have been force fed endless TV series with the female cop who looks like a model, and with a gun and badge the size of her waist. In a dark...

    Teri York-Singleton is certain about one thing as she considers the November election: She will not vote for Donald J. Trump. Ms. York-Singleton, who runs a nonprofit outside Detroit, grew up in a Democratic household but considers herself more of a political independent. And while she finds Vice President Kamala Harris’s sudden entry in the presidential race refreshing, Ms. Harris has not closed the sale for her. “I need more information from her,” said Ms. York-Singleton, 68. She listed the costs of medication and child care as well as homelessness as problems she wants to hear Ms. Harris discuss. “People...
