As I write this, Bitcoin is trading at $69,140. Today's high - $69,400. All time closing high is around $73,000. All time intraday high is around $74,000. Bitcoin trades on many different exchanges. CNBC quotes the Coin Metrics price, which reports the trading at many of those exchanges.

A Catholic Church-owned mountain that towers nearly a mile high near El Paso, Texas - its giant statue of Jesus Christ for decades drawing faithful to the summit - has been turned by Mexican cartels into a human smuggling stronghold where migrants are robbed, beaten and raped while chasing entry into the US. Mount Cristo Rey sits largely on American soil - located just inside the border at Sunland Park, New Mexico, where that state, Texas and Mexico all meet along a now-perilous boundary. The mountain is now totally controlled by Mexican cartels who use it to sneak illegal immigrants...

Many Super Bowls ago, we developed a theory about "credit.''.... Said Valdes-Scantling: "I helped Aaron (Rodgers) win a couple MVPs. I helped Pat win MVP, a couple Super Bowls. My resume speaks for itself, too. Ain’t a one-way thing, man.'' Did MVS help the Packers and the Chiefs? Of course he did. He was, however, a Chiefs role player, with - for instance, in 2023, 21 catches for 315 yards and one TD... So when he said, "I put up some big numbers with these guys,'' that's a Kansas City inflation of the facts. (And we won't even get into...

BALTIMORE, Tuesday, July 26 The American has the following highly exciting intelligence: The city last night was full of rumors of rebel movements in the Shenandoah Valley, together with vague accounts of disaster to the force under Gen. AVERILL, which, last week, attacked and defeated a portion of Gen. EARLY'S raiders, near Winchester. Among the rumors prevalent were the deaths of Gens. KELLY and AVERILL, as well as of Col. MULLIGAN. The facts as far as we have been able to ascertain them are, that Gen. AVERILL, after his successful encounter with Gen. EARLY's forces, pursued them to the mountains...

I frequently write about how the mandates for energy transition that New York has adopted are impossible and irreconcilable in the real world; and therefore it is inevitable that they will have to be abandoned at some point when implementation of the project runs up against physical reality. Probably the most frequent question that I get asked is, OK, how and when will that occur? The question is important because for as long as the impossible mandates remain in place they are causing massive ongoing damage to our electricity system and to consumers. As examples, on the electricity generation side,...

The conflict today is not simply a normal policy argument between conservatives and progressives. It is over the future of the historic American nation, both its creed and its culture. The following is adapted from a talk delivered on April 18, 2024, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Bellevue, Washington. In the past two years, two competing groups of conservatives—National Conservatives or NatCons and Freedom Conservatives or FreeCons—have issued competing manifestos. These manifestos reflect a divergent understanding of the progressive challenge to the American way of life. This divergence can best be understood in the context of the...

On 07/22/2024 at approximately 3:11 P.M., Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were dispatched to a property in the 24000 block of Shady Lane in Covelo for a report of an in-progress burglary. It was reported that residents interrupted multiple subjects stealing marijuana, who subsequently fled the location in a red pickup and a U-Haul box truck. Law enforcement from numerous agencies throughout Mendocino County responded to include representatives from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol, CalFire Prevention Officers, California State Parks, and Round Valley Tribal Police Department. A short time later, the caller to Mendocino County Sheriff's Office...

“Being insane is the new normal.” — Aimee Terese on “X”. However it happened this week, “Joe Biden” passed the blowtorch to a new generation and got himself gone from the political battlefield. Delegates to the coming Democratic National Convention (August 19) were duly notified of the selected replacement, Veep Kamala Harris, and ordered to line up behind her. Not a peep of disagreement was heard among them. Amazing that no one had a different idea. Thus, is democracy saved. The curious details around this event remain shrouded in mystery. Reporters for The New York Times and the WashPo could...

Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice says footage of a police officer stamping on the head of a suspect at Manchester Airport is “not distressing”, but rather “reassuring”.

The evidence doesn’t lie only in the events of the last few days. It’s clear from Kamala’s long history of actions and statements regarding Iran, Islam, and Israel. If you’re a pro-American conservative, there are dozens of reasons to find Kamala Harris concerning, from borders to defunding the police to climate change to her DEI obsessions and so much more. And if you’re also a pro-Israel conservative, you must be very wary of her stance toward Israel. Despite an apparently full-throated condemnation of the pro-Hamas protesters in D.C. the other day and her statement about supporting Israel after meeting with...

Stricter COVID-19 restrictions could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the states that refused to institute them, though efforts to close nursing homes and schools likely caused more harm than good, a new study has found. Between 118,000 and 248,000 more Americans would have survived the pandemic if all states had followed some restrictions practiced in Northeastern states, according to findings published Friday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Sadly, no! With Joe Biden not seeking re-election, might the American people be spared his latest cure for our sick healthcare system? Sadly, the answer is no. Systems thinkers describe behaviors or activities that repeatedly happen in complex organizations or systems as archetypes, viz., drifting goals, escalation, tragedy of the commons, and the best description of federal solutions for healthcare: fix-that-fails-or-backfires. Medicare, the 1965 program that supposedly assured timely, quality medical care during our golden years, will run out of money, be insolvent, in less than four years, according to the Trustees. At that time, Medicare will be unable to...

@reformparty_uk Nigel Farage made his maiden speech in the Commons this afternoon.

**SNIP** In sum, at the 11th hour of a two-year reelection effort, a cabal arbitrarily decided that Biden might well lose the Democrats the White House and the Congress. So they reversed course, now claiming his dementia was so acute as to destroy their November prospects. But, mysteriously, his decline was not severe enough to imperil the American people, whom Biden must continue to lead until January 20, 2025. Furthermore, the bosses’ replacement choice, Harris, had entered no primary. She never won a single delegate. Harris also never captured a single delegate in her first and only presidential run back...

Kamala Harris just posted her first 2024 presidential campaign ad. It's clean and professional. It's very well done. So, of course, I had to produce a parody. Thanks to Elon Musk for the tweet! Mr Reagan

Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker criticized a portion of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony over social media on Friday that appeared to attempt to mimic Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. In between the participating countries being presented at the kick-off in Paris, several performances were presented that played off French cultural and history. One of the more controversial performances, however, was one where drag queens and other actors appeared to remake the scene of The Last Supper, which depicts the last meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before he was crucified. Butker posted a video to...

The advanced U.S. fighter aircraft will mark a significant upgrade to Ukraine’s air force, but their impact on the war with Russia will hinge on several factors.Ukraine is set to receive U.S.-made F-16 fighter aircraft within months, an upgrade that Kyiv and its Western allies hope will help level the playing field with Russia’s formidable air force. But the F-16s will only have a meaningful impact on the war in Ukraine if Kyiv and its partners can build and maintain the extensive support and logistics infrastructure necessary to keep these world-class warplanes in the air. What is the F-16 and...

...The team made the 'unprecedented' find after unsealing the 2,000-year-old sarcophagus in the historic 'Tomb of Cerberus' in Naples.The remains had been preserved by plant-based creams that were applied on the bodies prior to being sealed in the chamber...One of the bodies was found covered in a shroud, surrounded by grave goods, which the team unwrapped and found the individual was perfectly preserved.The particular care given to the deceased and the chronology of the objects found suggested that he may have been the founder of the family for whom the mausoleum was built...Archaeologists have previously found a large number of...
