Tim Walz had a secret fling with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist official during his 1989 teaching stint in China, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province. The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang's dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner. But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and...

Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson have added four further novel proofs of the theorem that had also not been published before, and left clues for another five. Teen mathematicians Ne’Kiya Jackson (left) and Calcea Johnson (right) who have done what mathematics texts said was impossible, finding a non-circular trigonometric proof of Pythagoras Theorem. Image Credit: Calcea Johnson High school students Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson did something in 2023 that most mathematicians had thought impossible: They discovered a way to prove Pythagoras' theorem using trigonometry that did not depend on circular reasoning. Now, they have published their work in a...

Rumors were circulating that the singer would put on a show, but she just gave a speech. Fans are massively disappointed that pop star Beyoncé only made a brief appearance at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Houston over the weekend. Despite no confirmation that the 32-time Grammy Award winner would perform, rallygoers expected to hear Beyoncé sing and not just speak. The 43-year-old Houston native delivered a speech, which had an estimated attendance of 30,000, and endorsed Harris for the 2024 presidential election. “I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world our children live in, a...

When Do Media Narratives Become Deceit? I have a generational problem regarding “news”. My problem is that the networks’ opinion of the facts has replaced the facts of the matter, which in my time was news, the facts. The newspaper reported the facts on the front page along with the editorial page and an op-ed page, in opposition to the editorial. We also heard radio commentary on those facts from Commentators. This was the first rule for news reporters. Rule #1: A straight news lead should be a single paragraph consisting of a single sentence, should contain no more than...

The Vietnamese people smuggler emerged, briefly and hesitantly, from the shadows of a scraggly forest close to the northern French coastline. “Move away from the others. Come this way, fast,” he said, gesturing across a disused railway line to a member of our team, who had spent weeks posing undercover as a potential customer. Moments later, the smuggler - a tall figure with bright dyed blonde hair - turned away sharply, like a startled fox, and vanished down a narrow path into the woods. Earlier this year, Vietnam emerged - abruptly - as the biggest single source of new migrants...

VIDEO AT LINK.................. Oct. 25 (UPI) -- A seemingly orphaned or abandoned kitten brought to an animal shelter in Germany displayed unusually aggressive behavior that resulted in it being identified as a European wildcat. The Bergheim Animal Shelter said the small feline was brought in by a member of the public who found it alone on a country road and became concerned by the animal's aggressive behavior and refusal to eat. Shelter staff suspected the kitten wasn't a domestic cat at all, and contacted the Retscheider Hof wildlife center, which confirmed the animal was a European wildcat, a protected wild...

One singer's rocky performance of the national anthem had her asking for a do-over in the middle of the song. Singer Loomis performed “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Free & Equal Elections Foundation presidential debate featuring third-party candidates on Oct. 24. Loomis' performance kicked off the live taping. She successfully belted out the first few lines of the song but appeared rattled once she got to a higher note and her voice cracked out of pitch. After struggling to sing, "And the rockets’ red glare," Loomis said into the mic, “I f---ed it up. I f---ed it up. Can...

ABC’s The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg embarked on an unhinged rant during Monday’s show, making the outlandish claim that former President Donald Trump wants to break up interracial couples, deport women of color, and then “put the white guy with someone else.” Whoopi Goldberg appeared to be having a bad reaction to Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally that took place Sunday.

... Everything in the words and actions of the synodal church is a lie. Because its purpose is to impose by authority, under the guise of a request from the grass roots, things that no faithful Catholic has ever asked for, because they contradict the teaching of Our Lord. This authority, which has been usurped for the opposite purpose to that for which Jesus Christ established it, is completely illegitimate, and it is now the duty of each and every successor of the apostles to denounce this synodal farce, the final phase of the conciliar revolution, with which the Bride...

More than 200,000 people have canceled their subscriptions to the Washington Post in revolt over the paper’s refusal to endorse Kamala for president. That’s some 8% of the paper’s subscribers.

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Sunday, shortly after a comedian at former President Trump's sold-out Madison Square Garden rally joked that Puerto Rico equated to a "floating island of garbage," and made other unsavory jokes about Latinos. Bad Bunny, whose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, shared a video backing Harris with his 45 million Instagram followers on Sunday shortly after Tony Hinchcliffe made the crude jokes about Puerto Rico and Latinos. A representative of the artist confirmed to the Associated Press that he is supporting Harris. Harris, who visited a Puerto...

Hosts of MSNBC‘s “Morning Joe” scrambled to attack former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally by jumping on the Hitler bandwagon as Mika Brzezinski appeared visibly upset by the huge success of the vent. “I think a lot of people are seeing that rally at Madison Square Garden, seeing all those people, doesn’t mean he’s going to win the race,” she told co-host Joe Scarborough and others. “But my point is it’s discouraging that so many people would gather and rally to hate, to hate speech in America. It’s discouraging, and it hurts.”

Governor Pritzker just came out at Will Ferrell’s house party and got booed hard.

This is the bizarre moment Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov started performing standing press-ups at a BRICS meeting in an apparent attempt to impress ministers with his strength. Video footage taken from an informal meeting between Putin and the president of the UAE at the BRICS summit, where the Russian leader tried to woo the leaders of around two-dozen nations into deepening ties with his country, Kadyrov was seen leaning on two chairs and repeatedly doing leaned press-ups. After a few press-ups, he was seen looking around in an apparent bid for approval. But no one, including Russian foreign minister Sergei...

Frightening video shows a person running on top of a moving train at the same Queens station where a teenage girl died and her young friend was critically injured while subway surfing over the weekend. A heart-pounding clip taken Thursday by a concerned New Yorker near the 111th Street station in Corona shows someone precariously jogging along the top of an elevated subway car. A second clip from April shows at least five youngsters atop another subway car in the same corridor along Roosevelt Avenue. Advertisement

A Democrat staffer who has worked on campaigns for two vulnerable Ohio candidates was captured on video calling for open borders and labeling those wanting to secure the border as "racist." "Open the f---ing border, I don’t give a s--- who comes in here," the staffer, identified and first reported by Ohio.news as Kevin Oyakawa, said on a video during a conversation with a volunteer earlier this month.

“I was no longer welcome because I did not fall in line and support their strategy. I did not go on and just sell their strategy to my followers because I didn't believe in it" Jewish influencers are alleging they were blackballed from the Biden-Harris National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism after questioning what the White House defined as antisemitism. Influencer Lizzy Savetsky said in a video posted to social media, “Last summer, the summer of 2023, prior to October 7, the White House released their National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. I was asked to join a Zoom call with Second...

Tim Walz dropped a wide-open pass on NFL Sunday. The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate livestreamed himself playing video games with Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in an appeal to younger male voters — only to be mocked after misusing a common football term. Walz, a former defensive coordinator at Mankato West High School, tweeted afterward that the far-left Bronx and Queens rep “could run a mean pick 6” — referring to an interception returned for a touchdown — in the Madden video game series. The post was later deleted, but not before conservatives jumped on the malapropism.

Q. How do you know that Kamala Harris' campaign is in desperation mode? A. When a major part of its closing strategy is to attack the voters— including a key component of its base—and a top surrogate describes herself as "frustrated" and "angry" with the electorate! [snip] Co-host Michael Steele addressed himself to: "The young brothers in Detroit and Atlanta, and Philly, Baltimore, across the country. The young men who in this discussion around abortion seemingly have been detached from it by the right. You know, they got this bro culture, you know. It's about the MAN. You know, the...

Democratic heavyweights Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Chuck Schumer are all indicating that they will try to weaken or kill the Senate filibuster if their party wins big on Election Day. Harris and Walz, who are at the top of the Democratic ticket for the 2024 election cycle, have each indicated they believe the filibuster needs to go, while Schumer suggested in August that he would move to eliminate it if Democrats can secure a Senate majority. The filibuster is a key Senate rule that requires 60 votes to pass most major legislation rather than a simple majority of 51,...
