Thanks to New York’s bail law, even the most cartoonishly villainous crimes don’t get you thrown behind bars. The latest: Monday’s arrest of Isaiah Gurley, 29, on a laundry list of charges after he was allegedly caught on video dragging a dog into the street in Queens and setting it afire. Gurley confessed to cops that he had kicked the poor pooch, which he was watching for a friend, to death before burning its body. To add insult to injury, he allegedly shoplifted the oil he used to torch the hound. Brutalizing any living creature so cruelly should guarantee reasonably...

Such was the case with the latest bit of Russian Disinformation desperation when Bertrand reposted on X (forever to be known as Twitter) Ben Smith hyping the the fantasy that the John Durham Annex story was the result of Russian Disinformation and somehow didn't say what it clearly said namely that the DAMNING emails implicating Hillary Clinton in the Russia HOAX were "authentic."FAKE NEWS,...

Archaeologists have re-examined a 2500-year-old residue found in bronze jars at an underground shrine in Paestum, Italy, previously identified as a wax/fat/resin mixture. Using a multianalytical approach, the authors have detected lipids, saccharide decomposition products, hexose sugars, and major royal jelly proteins supporting the hypothesis that the jars once also contained honey/honeycombs. Paestum honey: (A) underground shrine in Paestum, Italy; (B) one of the hydrias on display alongside a Perspex box containing the residue at the Ashmolean Museum in 2019; (C) graphic representation of the arrangement of the bronze jars inside the shrine; (D) sample from the core of the...

Friday, Aug. 1, is World Lung Cancer Day, a day to raise awareness for the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. While the number of new cases of lung cancer continues to decrease, due in part to fewer people smoking, rates are increasing in certain groups who are non-smokers. One woman, Randi Marcus, said she had never smoked before her diagnosis. "Never smoked a day in my life," Marcus said. "Not even tried it. I felt perfectly healthy. I had no symptoms." However, the 65-year-old's cancer was an "incidental finding," according to her doctor. A diagnosis that...

Explanation: A small, dark, nebula looks isolated near the center of this telescopic close-up. The wedge-shaped cosmic cloudlet lies within a relatively crowded region of space though. About 7,000 light-years distant and filled with glowing gas and an embedded cluster of young stars, the region is known as M16 or the Eagle Nebula. Hubble's iconic images of the Eagle Nebula include the famous star-forming Pillars of Creation, towering structures of interstellar gas and dust 4 to 5 light-years long. But this small dark nebula, known to some as a Bok globule, is a fraction of a light-year across. The Bok...

Vice President JD Vance blasted an AP reporter who suggested he is “protecting pedophiles” during his visit to a steel factory in Ohio to promote tax cuts. During a Q&A session, the reporter stated: “I guess I’m going to be that person.

First of all… we’re not shielding anything. The President has...

At the Federal Reserve policy meeting that concluded Wednesday, governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman dissented from the decision to leave rates unchanged, believing that a rate cut was justified. It looks like they had a point. The intrigue: At 8am ET Friday morning — half an hour before the jobs report — Waller and Bowman issued statements explaining their dissents. It's clear they were worried about exactly the kind of labor market cracks that exploded into plain view with the new revisions. What they're saying: Waller's statement says that "while the labor market looks fine on the surface, once...

Meta-analysis assessed trials of SSRIs, esketamine, and psilocybinKey Takeaways: -In a comparison of depression treatment trials, control group outcomes in trials of psilocybin were lower than those in trials of SSRIs and esketamine. -This may suggest that psilocybin's antidepressant efficacy has been overestimated compared with other depression treatment options. -This could be due to a nocebo effect in the control arms of psilocybin trials, a study author said. Control group outcomes in randomized trials of psilocybin indicated less improvement in depression scores compared with trials of other antidepressants, according to a meta-analysis, suggesting that psilocybin's efficacy may be lower than...

The lies concocted by Hillary Clinton’s campaign team cannot go unpunished.About half the country has almost a decade's worth of rage that has been building and building over the utter lawlessness atop the Democrat Party. What's sad is that the angry half doesn't seem to include any Democrats. The utterly horrific Russiagate scandal, which gets worse with every disclosure emanating from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, isn't just pulling off a scab and re-exposing old wounds. Because there has never been a scab. The wound has never healed. It has gone untreated for years. It's septic and at least...
