Comedian Nikki Glaser roasted Hollywood celebrities who endorsed Kamala Harris, saying during her Golden Globes opening monologue that the stars were so influential they can do anything “except tell the country who to vote for.” Nikki Glaser also joked about Sean “Diddy” Combs, NBC’s streaming service Peacock, and even Dwayne Johnson. “I am not here to roast you tonight,” Glaser told the crowd of celebrities gathered Sunday at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills. “How could I, really? You’re all so famous, so talented, so powerful. I mean, you could really do anything … I mean, except tell the...

Let's check in on the world's most populated country for a sec, see what they're up to. Oh... Oh my. This is ... insane. A 35-year-old dude in India died "suddenly" and "unexpectedly" according to this report. However, upon an autopsy, it became quite clear what killed the man: He swallowed a baby bird and it got trapped in his throat! Here's what I imagine this dude's last words to have been: No, it wasn't eagle powers that this guy was after. It was fertility. Villagers claim Yadav had been consulting a tantrik (occultist) due to struggles with infertility and...

The number of offspring a species has in a litter is phylogenetically conserved, meaning more similar in more closely related species. Deer tend to have one or two offspring, while canids and felids tend to have many more babies in each litter. Almost all primate species give birth to just one baby, although there are exceptions. Several of the wet-nosed primates — including lemurs, lorises and galagos — and almost all of the marmosets and tamarins from South America give birth to twins. Marmosets are primates that typically give birth to twins. (Image credit: Tambako The Jaguar/flickr, CC BY-ND) Prior...

#SreemoyTalukdar says that it is "impossible for firms to hire foreign workers by bypassing Americans qualified for the job."

Democrats had just absorbed a crushing defeat in the 1994 midterm elections when President Bill Clinton’s very liberal labor secretary, Robert Reich, ventured into hostile territory to issue a prophetic warning.Struggling workers were becoming “an anxious class,” he told the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, two weeks after Republicans led by Newt Gingrich had gained 54 seats in the House and eight in the Senate. Society was separating into two tiers, Mr. Reich said, with “a few winners and a larger group of Americans left behind, whose anger and whose disillusionment is easily manipulated.”“Today, the targets of that rage are immigrants...

Under the policy, new non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters will be prohibited for sale starting in 2029 due to concerns about carbon-dioxide emissions. The policy comes during President Biden's twilight days in the White House and was quietly announced without a press release. If the policy takes effect, as it is slated to on March 11, a little less than 40% of the tankless water heaters currently on the market would be banned, according to an estimate from the Appliance Standards Awareness Project.

I think I'm getting a clearer picture now. It's one of those clarifying moments where a sudden fog lifts, it's easy to focus and OMG. Keir Starmer's Labour Party is working overtime to return the British working class to a feudal society. Two-Tier Keir's edicts, regulations, and prejudicial dispensing of justice is all aimed at creating a subservient class of drones. They will only exist to maintain the bowels of the country so ruling elites aren't discommoded in any fashion. And their urchin spawn can be sacrificed as needed to mollify the angrier foreign elements who've been introduced yet refused...

The Hidden Roots of Anti-Gravitic Propulsion and the DARPA "Loki" ConnectionThe Sub Vet and the Quest for Hidden TechnologiesAll Conditions Normal on The DiveThe quest for revolutionary propulsion systems, including anti-gravitic technology, has long captured the public's imagination, fueled by mysterious UFO sightings and stalled congressional transparency efforts. In this narrative, we explore these themes through the lens of a lesser-known DARPA project named "Loki." While the connection to UFOs/UAPs might be considered speculative or conspiratorial, the factual elements of the project can be examined for their potential implications.The Loki Project: A Jet Fighter UnderwaterThe "Loki" project’s primary goal was...

President-elect Trump on Monday accused President Biden of making the presidential transition difficult, mentioning recent executive orders on climate. “Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult [as] possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes,” Trump said on Truth Social. Biden announced earlier Monday he would block new drilling off the entire East Coast, as well as California, Oregon and Washington state, and block some drilling off Alaska’s coast in portions of the Northern Bering Sea and in...

Bruce Fischer, the husband of U.S. Senator for Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, had an awkward exchange with Kamala Harris during the one-on-one ceremonial swearing-in of senators with their families. Following the oath, Harris tells Senator Fischer congratulations and shakes her hand. She then turns to Bruce, who took part in the ceremony by holding the bible for his wife, and extends her hand. Bruce declined the opportunity to shake hands with Harris, who awkwardly quipped, “I won’t bite.” Fischer declined the handshake and put his hands in his pockets. Harris looked surprised and smiled awkwardly.

Donald Trump revealed on Monday that he has been in contact with one of the United States' biggest adversaries ahead of taking the oath of office. The president-elect told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he and his team have been speaking with representatives of Chinese President Xi Jinping. 'We've already been talking,' he said. 'We've been talking through their representatives.' Trump, who takes office on January 20, said he believes he and Xi will get along well. He had invited the Chinese leader to his inauguration but Xi declined. 'We will probably get along very well, I predict,' the president-elect...

Daily Readings from the USCCBFrom that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17Now that our Christmas Octave and Epiphany celebrations are complete, we begin to turn our eyes to the public ministry of Christ. The above line from today’s Gospel presents us with the most central summary of all of the teachings of Jesus: Repent. However, He doesn’t say only to repent, He also says that “the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” And that second statement is the reason we must repent. In his spiritual classic, The...

With 'near time' identified as a problem, parents urged to boosting outdoor timeNew research shows the rate of myopia among children and teens worldwide has tripled over the past three decades, with a particularly steep increase noted since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. A paper in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, which reviewed 276 studies published to June 2023 from around the world, concluded that more than one in three of all children and teens are nearsighted, triple what it was in 1990. "Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between the pandemic and accelerated vision deterioration among...

The chaos underground spread to the commuter rails Saturday, as a Metro-North rider was stabbed in the chest over an argument about noisy music while a train arrived in Grand Central. The attack happened at about 7 p.m. on a New Haven line Metro-North train arriving at the station, according to the MTAPD.

Little stabbed the unidentified 31-year-old man in the chest twice with a knife as the train pulled into Grand Central, the MTAPD said. The...

Over the decade of Donald Trump’s political career, the left—as exemplified by Democratic politicos, the media, academics, the Washington military hierarchy, and the permeant bureaucratic state—illustrated a level of furor, venom, and near madness unprecedented in modern American history.

Good day, Canadians desperate to turn the page on this dark chapter of our history, might be relieved today, that Justin Trudeau is finally leaving. But what has really changed? Every Liberal MP in power today, and every potential Liberal leadership contender fighting for the top job, helped Justin Trudeau break the country over the last nine years. All Liberal politicians actively worked to pass into law the job-killing, inflationary carbon tax, a tax that Carbon Tax Carney endorsed in his book. All supported a law quadrupling the tax over the next five years. All voted for, or actively supported...

"...Every morning I've woken up as prime minister, I've been inspired by the resilience, generosity and the determination of Canadians," Trudeau said in a news conference. "It is the driving force of every single day I have the privilege of serving this office." .....
