Kamala Harris takes the Chicago stage on Thursday in the culmination of one of the most audacious bets in recent political history: That in 100 days Democrats can turn the co-pilot of an unpopular Presidency into the reincarnation of Barack Obama’s movement for hope and change. On present course they might even pull it off. That’s the message that Michelle and Barack Obama were selling as they extolled Ms. Harris in their Tuesday speeches in Chicago. And it’s no accident that the Vice President has recruited Mr. Obama’s campaign operatives to advise, if not entirely take over, her campaign. Out...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) responded to criticism that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposal to increase the corporate income tax will lower wages and raise prices by stating that “Kamala Harris’ position before had been let the Trump tax cuts expire. … If the tax cuts expired for corporations, it would go to 34%. Years ago, she had said she’s for that. She’s now really come to the center, pro-growth. She said, we’re going to keep some of those tax cuts and we’re going to double...

Queen guitarist Sir Brian May says new research shows cattle could be passing bovine tuberculosis (bTB) between themselves, and that badgers are not a significant factor in the spread of the disease. Sir Brian, 77, helped conduct the research presented in a new BBC documentary, and says his campaigning against badger culling to tackle bTB "has become as important to me as music". Cattle are regularly tested and destroyed if the disease is found, with more than 50,000 slaughtered in the UK between April last year and March this year. A leading vet said Sir Brian's findings could not be...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (8/22/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Lord) Psalm 139139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I...

A Venezuelan migrant who attempted to gain access to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week was denied entry and turned away for not having acquired the proper credentials. It’s an interesting contrast when the same party that is actively pushing for wide open national borders is serious enough about their own security to put up fences and require IDs and credentials in order to walk among them. Steve Cortes took Edwin, a newly arrived migrant from Venezuela, to the United Center in Chicago to meet the Democrats, hear their speakers and learn about the party for himself. What...

You could never generate this amount of power yourself. Mammoth hunts would have been incredibly dangerous. Image credit: Esteban De Armas/Shutterstock.com North American hunter-gatherers may have developed an innovative method for killing Ice-Age megafauna like mammoths, according to the authors of a new study. Rather than throwing spears at their prey, members of the iconic Clovis culture might have used “braced shaft weapons”, or pikes, to inflict catastrophic injuries on their victims. “The key elements of the pike are a sharp tip for entering thick hide or armor and a long, sturdy shaft that could be braced in the ground...

In their study, Dr. Gaffney and colleagues say that new evidence of manually collected and processed 50,000-year-old tree resin shows that humans using sophisticated technological processes arrived on Waigeo Island, which lies along the northern route most suited for human expansion into Australia, as much as 50 to 55 thousand years ago. The new finding exceeds past estimates by close to 10,000 years, revealing that humans likely traversed the Pacific millennia earlier than once thought."The tree resin artefact provides evidence for complex plant processing during early human dispersal," they write. The researchers note that the resin sample is "rectilinear," which...

Have those who lectured us about democracy in danger now decided to save it by destroying it? The 2023-2024 campaign season is not just the strangest on record, it’s also arguably the most anti-democratic. Ostensibly, the Democratic Party has claimed over the last decade that Donald Trump posed a continued and existential threat to the republic. That allegation subsequently justified a variety of anti-democratic means to neuter his first two presidential candidacies, his presidency, and now his third and final run for the White House. A near decade ago, we witnessed the 2015-2016 Hillary Clinton/Democratic National Committee/FBI-assisted effort to plant...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Some new Ukrainian soldiers refuse to fire at the enemy. Others, according to commanders and fellow fighters, struggle to assemble weapons or to coordinate basic combat movements. A few have even walked away from their posts, abandoning the battlefield altogether. While Ukraine presses on with its incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, its troops are still losing precious ground along the country’s eastern front – a grim erosion that military commanders blame in part on poorly trained recruits drawn from a recent mobilization drive, as well as Russia’s clear superiority in ammunition and air power.

Tue Morning: Inside the arena, a nice demonstration of collective Cluster-B personality disorder as Dems project all their animus, paranoia, and self-loathing on their opponents. AOC does her Eva Peron act (as voiced by Minnie Mouse); Hillary Clinton gloats and smirks as the mob yells “Lock him up!”; and “Joe Biden” repeats every hoax and lie cranked out by the blob since 2016 in his valedictory. Of course no one is asking how or why “JB” remains in office when he is obviously too far gone to serve. Outside the arena: not much action so far. A little fence-rattling. A...

Many prosthetic feet use blades. Here’s why adding toes could help. The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. Yet, most prosthetic feet on the market a consist of a single blade. A new concept from the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa offers an intriguing alternative. SoftFoot Pro is a flexible prosthetic prototype that was inspired by the anatomical structure of the human foot. It is made up of five durable plastic chains, each composed of various interlocking elements to reflect individual bones, and arranged in parallel to mimic the skeletal structure...

The British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch has been confirmed dead by search and rescue authorities after a yacht sank off the coast of Sicily during a violent storm, according to two news agencies.

Russian firefighters are battling a three-day inferno in the southwest of the country, after a Ukrainian drone attack on an oil storage depot ignited the facility's diesel reserves. On Saturday Rostov Oblast Governor Vasily Golubev said that Russian air defense forces had repelled an attack by a Ukrainian UAV in the town of Proletarsk, located around 150 miles from the Ukrainian border. A day later, however, Golubev said that fallen debris from the UAV had landed on the industrial warehouses at the Proletarsk state reserve fuel facility, igniting a fire which Russian authorities have since struggled to contain. Golubev also...

There is little to differentiate the kooks setting things on fire outside the Democrats’ convention from the kooks setting rhetorical fires inside. The more I see of Tim Walz, the more I realize he’s just a fatter, whiter version of Kamala. They both laugh at inappropriate times. They both say weird things. They both yearn for a communist America. They’re both on the wrong side of the IQ bell curve. If we lived in a society that encouraged talented people to run for political office, Tweedle-Kam and Tweedle-Tim would not be known. Because our political system excels at promoting mediocre...

The “Uncommitted” movement, which has threatened to withhold votes from Vice President Kamala Harris unless she promises to end U.S. support for Israel, is furious at Democrats for allowing Israeli speakers but not Palestinians. The Democratic National Convention heard a moving speech on Wednesday evening from Ron Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the American-Israeli parents of hostage Hersh-Goldberg Polin, 23. Like the delegates at the Republican National Convention in July, who heard from the parents of American-Israeli hostage Omer Neutra, Democrats welcomed the hostage family and gave them a standing ovation, chanting “Bring them home! Bring them home!” But the “Uncommitted”...
