MSNBC host Jen Psaki said Sunday on “Inside” that former President Donald Trump hides “in his dark comfort zone of nasty and racist attacks.” Psaki said, “Trump is also running scared from a second debate insisting it is too late despite having debated around this proposed date in 2016 and 2020. On that front even the Fox News host Bret Baier is calling him out saying this week he thinks Harris would agree to the Fox News debate and the holdup is Donald Trump. So he is too chicken to meet Harris on a debate stage and instead goes back...

Military defeats matter. Israel’s inexcusable complacency on Oct. 7, 2023, allowed Hamas, a terrorist force with a small fraction of the military strength of the Israel Defense Forces, to kill more Israeli civilians than the vast armies of Egypt and Syria and their allies did at the height of the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973.But as demonstrated by Israel’s stunning airstrike on Friday on Hezbollah’s underground headquarters near Beirut, which killed the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, the fortunes of war have shifted since Oct. 7 against Israel’s enemies. Hamas is losing. Hezbollah is losing. And most important: By extension,...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump was in “cognitive decline.” Holder said, “He has never been a master of the English language, but if you look back four years ago and eight years back, his sentences are shorter, they make less sense, his paragraphs are more garbled. He seems to be more out of touch with the questions asked of him and the way in which he formulates his responses just don’t seem to be cogent. He doesn’t have many policy positions that he would ever talk about. He just seems...

The unmistakable work of prehistoric humans was found etched into the mammoth's hide. Yuka the mammoth may have been killed by cave lions. Image credit: Zhuravlev Andrey/Shutterstock.com Often hailed as the best-preserved woolly mammoth corpse ever discovered, the body of a young female specimen named Yuka has just yielded a staggering surprise.

Recent research attributes the sharp increase in global methane emissions between 2020 and 2022 to greater inundation in tropical wetlands and a decline in hydroxide in the atmosphere. Analysis of satellite data revealed that heavy rains, likely linked to La Niña conditions, amplified methane production in wetlands by enhancing anaerobic microbial activities. These findings underscore the significance of understanding wetland dynamics to address methane’s impact on climate change. Recent satellite data analysis reveals that the record surge in atmospheric methane emissions between 2020 and 2022 was primarily caused by more extensive inundation and water storage in wetlands, alongside a minor...

At issue are the questions Brennan posed to Connecticut Sun player DiJonai Carrington the day after Carrington gave Clark a black eye during the first...

The devastating airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was the result of a years-long operation by Israeli intelligence that penetrated the terror leader’s entire network — allowing him to be tracked to his underground command center in Beirut. The Israeli military then used 80 tons of specially designed bunker-busting bombs to blast through the heavily fortified hideout on Friday and kill the slippery Nasrallah — who has survived multiple previous attempts to assassinate him. Nasrallah’s death was exactly what Israel had been hoping for when it launched a bombing campaign that day, the Financial Times reports. Unbeknownst to Nasrallah,...
