ABC and NBC showed the entire world that they’re basically nothing more than leftist state-run media. The two broadcast giants decided not to air an address from the president of the United States to the American people because they decided it was a “conspiracy theory” to suggest any wrongdoing with the controversial, sketchy, and ridiculous 2020 election. (snip) Biden told the American people that MAGA was a threat to the very foundations of the republic. He openly trashed more than half the country, and ABC and NBC were perfectly fine with it. They had no problem watching American citizens smeared...

Some doctors call it “walking Ebola” – symptoms of the rare Bundibugyo strain appear to worsen slowly, leaving patients sick enough to spread the virus but not so unwell to stop them moving through their communities. The pattern emerging in the Democratic Republic of Congo resonated with virologist Corri Levine, who devoted her doctoral research to Bundibugyo years before it caused the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record. Studying the virus in a biocontainment laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Levine found it replicated more slowly than the Zaire strain responsible for a devastating epidemic that swept West Africa...

A top Missouri prosecutor was booted for having an affair with an illegal migrant her office was probing for sex assault — and because she slept with two other men in glaring conflicts of interest, too, court papers allege. Disgraced Ray County Prosecutor Camille Johnston was yanked from her position Thursday when a judge signed off on Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s petition laying out a slew of misconduct allegations against her during her three and a half years in office, Hanaway announced. Johnston — an elected official who took office Jan. 1, 2023 — compromised the integrity of her...

WASHINGTON — The highest-ranking woman in the House of Representatives is calling for a “bright-line rule” prohibiting lawmakers from having sexual relationships with congressional staff after The Post revealed Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) slept with at least two aides to Texas Democrats. Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), chairwoman of the House Republican Caucus, told The Post that “Senator Gallego’s relationships fall short of the standard the public expects from elected officials.” “Congress should have a bright-line rule that Members should not have romantic or sexual relationships with congressional staff,” the No. 4 House Republican said. “Even if a relationship is consensual,...

A prehistoric burial near Stonehenge long known as the “Shaman of Upton Lovell” has been identified as a woman’s, overturning a belief that shaped archaeological interpretation for more than 200 years. Ancient DNA analysis revealed that the individual buried near Stonehenge about 4,000 years ago was biologically female. The finding challenges one of Britain’s best-known prehistoric identifications and is prompting researchers to rethink the roles women held in Early Bronze Age society. Researchers examined surviving skeletal remains, including fragments of the skull, a tooth and a foot bone. DNA testing identified XX chromosomes, confirming the individual was female. The findings,...

Billy the Kid continues to make headlines, 145 years after being gunned down in Fort Sumner. Thursday historians announced new evidence that he was Catholic — a detail that adds more layers of intrigue to one of the Wild West’s mythologized figures. Billy the Kid died July 14, 1881, after being shot by Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett. On the first day of the Wild West History Association Roundup, Allen Sanchez said certificates of Billy the Kid’s baptism and his parents’ marriage were located inside St. Peter’s Church in New York City. St. Peter’s is connected to the Sisters of...

Apparently, USC does not have any literature classes — or at least none on ancient Greece. Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” hit theaters on Friday, and the USC football team tried to get in on the fun, posting “Our Odyssey begins August 29” on X, referring to their first game of the year. The issue with that is Homer’s 8th century epic poem “The Odyssey” follows Odysseus’ 10-year journey back to Greece after defeating the city of Troy in the Trojan War — the same city that serves as inspiration for USC’s nickname. The literary Trojans never had an odyssey. In...
