Even Polymarket is skewed. If you note the buy/sell spread for Trumpster is -7.7 but when you look at Kameltoes the spread is +9.5 in the opposite direction. Totals should equal 100% but totals on buy is 99.2% and sell is 100.9%. I suspect there is bias in everything.

Archaeologists have found evidence of an Assyrian military campaign against Judaea that resulted in the siege of Jerusalem.The campaign was launched in 701 B.C., when Sennacherib was king of Assyria and Hezekiah was king of Judaea. Sennacherib launched the campaign because he considered Hezekiah a vassal king who should obey the Assyrians, but Hezekiah refused and rebelled against him.The Assyrians conquered much of Judaea and laid siege to Jerusalem but, for reasons that are unclear, failed to take the city. The Hebrew Bible claims that the "the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and...

“Not a single Muslim participated in the Holocaust, nor had any responsibility." In 1993, Abbé Pierre gave an interview, saying that it was Catholic Christians who committed the Holocaust, and who gave Palestine to the Jews because they were ashamed of what they did. A staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, Abbé Pierre said Christians made the Muslims, who did nothing to the Jews, pay the price of Hitler’s actions. “Not a single Muslim had participated in the Holocaust, nor had any responsibility. And we deceived the Palestinians,’ he said. ‘We lied to them.’”Let’s take those assertions one by one.First,...

It is past time for those who fight to register non-citizens to vote and/or fight to prevent their removal from the voting rolls to justify their actions. Remember when we all had to prove our citizenship to renew our driver's licenses a few years back? This was a result of the federal Real ID Act of 2005. It basically provides that a state must verify that one is a U.S. citizen or is here legally before issuing a license. If a license is issued as compliant with the Real ID Act, there is a star in the upper right corner...

Gangs have taken control of several of our properties in Aurora, Colorado. In an attempt to discredit this fact for political purposes and avoid governmental accountability, some have spread false information about our situation. Let’s set the record straight...🧵 We started managing these buildings when new owners acquired the Colorado properties in 2019. At the time, the properties were in poor condition, and our mission was to renovate them, thereby increasing their value. This was an ambitious project that would significantly benefit the people of Aurora while providing returns to the new owners. We understood this project would take years...

Donald Trump is a serious threat to the lives of Black men. Vice President Harris will deliver for Black men and their families. Vice President Harris is laying out an agenda to give Black men the tools to build wealth and achieve financial freedom, lower costs for themselves and their families, and protect their rights—addressing the issues that Black men across the country have told her are their top concerns. Provide 1 million forgivable loans up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs and others who have a good idea but don’t have the resources, connections, or access to capital to get...

A cute 1:29 video to start off your week!.................

Speculation has built for weeks over the presence of North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia inside Ukraine, and now President Zelensky has acknowledged their presence for the first time. North Korea, which on paper has one of the largest armies in the world and has been supplying munitions to Russia for months to feed what it calls its special military operation inside Ukraine for months may now be providing direct military aid, Kyiv states for the first time. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to admit what has been discussed by other world leaders and Ukraine war watchers for weeks in...

Kemi Badenoch has – potentially jokingly – told fellow Conservatives that up to 10% of civil servants are so “bad” they ought to be in prison. The Tory leadership candidate made the comments during an event with The Spectator at the annual Conservative conference. According to The Guardian, she said: “I don’t want people to get me wrong – I think that civil servants are like everybody else. They come in to do a job, and I’d say about 10% of them are absolutely magnificent. “And the trick to being a good minister is to find the good ones quickly,...

Oh look, it's Big Tech being evil again! According to research from NewsBusters, Google is burying conservative news on search results ahead of the 2024 election. When using the search term "donald trump presidential race 2024," researchers had to scroll through 23 pages of results before they come to a U.S.-based right-leaning news source, a single Fox News video six results down on the 23rd page. According to one study, only 3.9% of users even visit page two of Google results, which suggests almost zero people bother to go to page 23. When using the search term "kamala harris presidential...

Harris is distancing herself from her record, misrepresenting her past, and shifting blame for policy failures onto Donald Trump, creating a disconnect between her actions and campaign messaging. Increasingly, little if anything remains real about the Harris campaign. Take ideology and the issues. It is now well known that Kamala Harris was rated as the most left-wing of all current senators, including Bernie Sanders—according to GovTrack, a non-partisan compiler of evaluators in Congress. The Voteview project found her voting record the most liberal of all senators of the 21st century, except for radical Elizabeth Warren. Harris as vice president in...

A focus group showed signs the Conservative leadership race is cutting through, and one candidate seems to have a rare quality ... Shown clips of the two contenders, it was Kemi Badenoch who wowed the group, made up of former Conservative voters from Weston-super-Mare, which elected a Labour MP for the first time in its history, and North East Somerset and Hanham, a new seat replacing one formerly held by Jacob Rees-Mogg. Robert, a retired fire officer, called her a “breath of fresh air”, while Martin, a banking manager, praised her “no-nonsense approach”. Melanie thought her “strong”, Katie found her...

14 October 2024Monday of week 28 in Ordinary Time Catacombs St CallistoReadings at MassLiturgical Colour: Green. Year: B(II).First readingGalatians 4:22-24,26-27,31-5:1Christ freed us: do not submit again to slaveryThe Law says, if you remember, that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl, and one by his free-born wife. The child of the slave-girl was born in the ordinary way; the child of the free woman was born as the result of a promise. This can be regarded as an allegory: the women stand for the two covenants. The first who comes from Mount Sinai, and whose children are slaves, is...

Miller states he is a Trump supporter who was invited to be at the Coachella rally. He adds that he told officers he had loaded firearms in his trunk. Furthermore, he is threatening lawsuits over defamatory statements and alleged police infringement of his rights.

CBS News — the once-prestigious “Tiffany Network” built by giants like Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace — is the latest media institution to succumb to the bizarre spectacle of full-on wokeness. That was proven by a leaked tape of CBS’s fake-news execs idiotic­ally rebuking an actual real journalist doing his job. “CBS Mornings” anchor Tony Dokoupil got into trouble because he pressed the author of a one-sided, anti-Israel polemic, Ta-Nehisi Coates, about his warped, historically inaccurate views on the Middle East conflict. It’s another example of how challenging someone like Coates — who is questioning Israel’s right...

The revolution is the feast of the cannibals. Vanity, lust for power, and deadly rivalry invariably get mixed up with the particulars of ideology. Unyielding conceit appears in the guise of piety or secular altruism as purges degenerate into violent orgies. Sure enough, the outcome is the installment of another tyranny. Three revolutions in France, Russia, and Iran legitimized destruction and violence with a narrative of political persecution, inequality, and social injustice under monarchical governments. After power struggles and cannibalistic purges, however, they all ended in tyrannical oppression of totalitarian proportions, characterized by ideological extremism and utter contempt for human...

This is a breaking story, so the 24-hour rule applies; All reports within the first 24 hours are suspect. But we will strive to give you the most accurate information. *** Earlier today, we posted on the claim that there was a third attempted assassination on Trump. We will also note that we are seeing significant pushback, saying that this was not an assassination attempt, that the alleged assassin, Vem Miller didn’t intend to harm Trump or possibly anyone else. This author wants to be clear. We have never even heard of Miller before this afternoon, and everything we know...

The Meriden Daily Journal, Jan 28, 1948, p.9Meriden Record, Jan 28, 1948, p. 7To the United States and the United Nations... Since the United Nations General Assembly voted for the partition of Palestine on November 29, 1947, a shameful and deeply disquieting situation has arisen to which public opinion cannot remain indifferent. Openly defying the United Nations, the governments of the Arab Slates, themselves members, of tho UN, are deliberately encouraging aggression against the Jews of Palestine. They are using Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and as bases for these operations. They are providing funds, ammunition and military training, and have already...

Xibalbanus tulumensis contains toxins that are suitable for the development of active substances against neurological diseases. Credit: Björn M. von Reumont ================================================================== Venom from the marine remipede, Xibalbanus tulumensis, exhibits unique medical potential for treating neurological disorders, showcasing the importance of marine biodiversity in pharmacological research while facing environmental threats.
