Portable food carts are an accepted fact of life in many of our major cities, and even in some small towns. For years, in the Alaska town of Talkeetna, a regular fixture on that small touristy town's main drag was the halibut taco cart. The halibut were cooked using a propane tank under the cart — until the tank exploded, breaking windows and causing damage all up and down the street. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. But if it's a halibut taco you want now in Talkeetna, you're out of luck. Here's the thing: The Talkeetna halibut taco cart...

Wisconsin media is reporting on a MAJOR Democrat Party scandal just days before the November 3rd midterm elections. This involves the Wisconsin race for governor. Democrat primary candidate and Milwaukee County Executive, David Crowley announced on Wednesday, July 8th, that he was suspending his campaign. That leaves current Wisconsin Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez in the primary race against unhinged communist But Sara Rodriguez dropped out of the race two weeks later on July 17th. Her campaign discovered “serious mismanagement and inaccuracies” in its campaign finance reports, leading to the firing of campaign manager Kara Spencer. So that was the first...

This wooden figurine was discovered in 1977 in an early house built by the ancestors of the Inuit on Baffin Island in northern Canada. The unique carving represents a person wearing European clothing and a cross on their chest. Dated to 1350, the figurine is the earliest Indigenous representation of a European anywhere in the Western Hemisphere and probably depicts a Norseman. The tiny driftwood carving, which is currently on display at the Canadian Museum of History, measures just 2.1 inches (5.4 centimeters) tall. According to the museum, the featureless face and stumpy arms are common in 14th-century Inuit carvings,...

The casual way Democrats threaten to throw Republicans in prison or prosecute them for supporting President Trump is alarming and indicative of exactly what they will try to do if they win power on Nov. 3. On “The Bulwark Daily” podcast Monday, Kara Swisher blithely speculated that if Kamala Harris had won the presidency in 2024, Elon Musk might already be in jail and that he “knows what’s coming for him” if Democrats win control of Congress in the midterm elections — though they would not hold that power until the next Congress is seated in January. “If Donald Trump...

The Fine Arts Department has uncovered two more ancient gold rings, including one bearing a rare Brahmi inscription, during excavations at the Don Yai Thong archaeological site. Director-General Phanombut Chantarachot said that archaeologists were recovering human skeletons and artefacts from the site after rising groundwater, salinity and seasonal rain threatened to damage the fragile remains. During the operation, the team discovered two gold rings associated with Skeleton No. 4... The second gold ring has no decorative design. Similar Brahmi inscriptions have previously been found on seals and jewellery at archaeological sites in Krabi and Chumphon, highlighting early trade and cultural...

Driving the backroads of southeastern Arizona, where scrubland stretches in every direction, Chiricahua juts out of the landscape like a geological plot twist. Part of the Sky Islands, mountain ranges spanning from southeastern Arizona to southwestern New Mexico and into northern Mexico, the Chiricahuas are home to dramatic elevation changes and rich biodiversity. “Coatimundi crossing” signs dot the roadsides, warning drivers to watch for this ring-tailed, long-snouted raccoon cousin, and even the occasional jaguar is known to prowl the region. The Chiricahua Mountains also hold cultural and historical significance as part of the ancestral homeland of the Apache. As an...

U.S. intelligence officials are warning that Iran has intensified efforts to assassinate Americans overseas, prompting the Trump administration to reduce diplomatic staffing across the Middle East amid escalating threats from Tehran and its terrorist proxies. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton issued an unclassified memo Friday to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warning that Iranian assassination plots targeting U.S. citizens have reached dangerous levels. “Lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages,” Clayton wrote. Clayton said Tehran has significantly expanded operations targeting American personnel abroad and warned that the danger extends beyond individuals currently authorized...

Nurse says he recently reported a ER nurse who delayed pain medication to a Level I trauma patient because he was wearing a MAGA hat. The man had been stabbed, beaten with a baseball bat, and had a bone protruding from his leg. That’s just evil. Good on this man for reporting her and making those in charge aware of her abhorrent behavior. Politics should never interfere with patient care. Credit: shiestynurse

A winery co-owned by the husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was shuttered amid fraud claims, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said. Comer said over the weekend that the winery had been selling empty barrels to investors under the guise of "wine to be aged." "I can tell you from our initial investigation of Omar and her financial disclosure form that there are multiple fronts where you could get a search warrant issued," Comer told Trey Gowdy on Fox News' "Sunday Night in America." "First of all, not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure...

It's getting nasty down in Brazil in front of Sunday's election. As you probably know, President Lula is behind in polls against Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's son. Did I tell you that the former president is under house arrest for challenging the election results? We have not seen a son going after his father's critics since George W. Bush took out Governor Ann Richards in Texas. Remember "Poor George, he can't help it -- he was born with a silver foot in his mouth." That was sweet back in 1994, and I hope that Flavio can share the stage...

A deleted 2013 social media post in which Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., appeared to refer to her father by a different name has resurfaced as federal investigators examine questions surrounding her identity and immigration records. "Happy Father’s Day to my aabo Nur Said, I am forever grateful to Allah for giving me the best father …," Omar wrote in the June 2013 post, which was deleted in 2019. Several records, including a memorial post by the Congressional Black Caucus marking his death in 2020, refer to Omar’s father as "Nur Omar Mohamed." But the now-deleted X post has Omar calling...

In a series of disclosures, four polling outfits have recently been exposed as utter frauds, fabricating data and sharing fraudulent reports. These fake polls have appeared in media election surveys, with some included in well-known polling aggregators. Some scamsters appear to have profited from things like crowdfunding, some may have been paid by interested parties -- who knows? -- but every one of them is guilty of interfering with elections. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) appears to be about to investigate these scamsters and the media which, blindly or not, crookedly shared these lies. It’s my own view that if...

Last Friday, hidden in the aftermath of the U.S. government’s decision to waive sanctions on Russia, was language proposing a joint U.S.-Russia project on data centers.
