Allegations of bodies buried near Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County have emerged from millions of pages of documents related to the convicted sex offender's crimes, prompting calls for an investigation from New Mexico officials. "I'm gonna keep asking questions and keep poking around until I get an answer," New Mexico's Public Lands Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard told KOAT on Tuesday. These allegations originated from an anonymous email sent in 2019 to local radio host Eddy Aragon. The email claimed to be from a former staffer at Zorro Ranch, stating, "Did you know somewhere in the hills outside...

Anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention to academic sociology these days knows there are serious problems. I have been writing about this phenomenon now for a number of years, pointing out, e.g., sociology’s drift from its origins and how its journals and conferences clearly illustrate its biases. The discipline has become captured by an ideology and has given up on its earlier scientific promise. A glance at the titles of conference papers and journal articles, or indeed at the course offerings in sociology at any institution of higher learning, reveals the transformation. Even some Marxist professors have come...

Escorted by police, a group of about 25 people walked across the Temple Mount esplanade to the steps leading up to the Dome of the Rock, the site where the First and Second Temples once stood.

Lawmakers are not yet finished with Attorney General Pam Bondi. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) led a new charge on Friday morning, demanding Bondi testify before the House Oversight Committee while raising concern about Bondi’s appearance before the House Judiciary panel on Wednesday. During the hearing, a photographer captured an image of Bondi with a document appearing to show Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s (D-WA) searches on the Epstein Files — which she and other members of Congress were given access to two days earlier. “In the Judiciary Committee, she had a folder open, and you saw an image of a search history...

If a Sweetwater County judge won’t dismiss the animal cruelty case against Cody Roberts, his lawyer wants to bar any testimony about how Roberts allegedly ran a wild wolf down with a snowmobile and taped its mouth shut. Those are “prior acts” to what the state of Wyoming has outlined in its case against the Daniel man — namely, Roberts taking the wolf to the Green River Bar in Daniel and allegedly subjecting it to torment there, attorney Robert Piper writes in his motion filed Monday in Sublette County District Court. “Such alleged conduct occurred prior to the wolf’s alleged...

A new report claims that the death of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain was not by suicide, rather he was a victim of homicide. But police in Seattle are standing by their original findings. According to a report in The Daily Mail, a private forensic team compiled by independent forensic specialist Brian Burnett said that Cobain’s death was a homicide. Burnett’s team looked at the evidence and came to that conclusion. But the Seattle Police Department disagrees, saying the suicide ruling is correct. “Our detective concluded that he died by suicide, and this continues to be the position held by...

Elon Musk revealed the future of quantum computing will be on the Moon's permanently shadowed craters Quantum computing need extreme cold and near-perfect isolation to work The Moon’s permanently shadowed craters offer exactly that - Temperatures stay below −200°C, keeping qubits stable without massive Earth-based cooling systems - No atmosphere, no weather, no day–night cycles. Hardware stays in a steady, undisturbed state - No air, no vibrations, no human electromagnetic noise - meaning quantum information survives longer with fewer errors The Moon is not just for exploration It is actually a perfect home for the future of computing

The owner of an Ethiopian-Israeli restaurant in Harlem says she has been forced to close her establishment for regular dining due to alleged harassment and antisemitism. Beejhy Barhany, owner of the Tsion Cafe, told the New York Post that hate directed at her restaurant intensified after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which prompted the country’s war with Hamas. Barhany also told the outlet that the alleged hate and harassment have left her “demoralized.” “I answered the phone once at the restaurant and the caller said, ‘You dirty Jew. We should erase you from the map,'” Barhany said. “I...

Representative Lauren Boebert has joined several lawmakers in expressing outrage over what she was able to view in unredacted versions of the Department of Justice’s documents on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Terrifying language in the Epstein Files I viewed yesterday,” the Colorado Republican posted to X on Wednesday. “Emails about torture.

Ran across this podcast outlining that viewership of the NFL halftime show collapsed 39% compared to last year. This from a ratings source used for advertising (and thus much more reliable as companies use this for real-$$ decisions.) It's pretty plain that profanity laws were also violated, so we'll see if LEO will give lawlessness a pass or hold them accountable.
