Former President Barack Obama’s presidential library is hocking pricey merch shaped like the unsightly Chicago tower — as the project’s architects revealed the former commander-in-chief himself was behind the “Death Star” design that’s been widely mocked since construction began. Ungainly lapel pins that “capture the silhouette” of the Obama Presidential Center are going for $30 in the online store. “The pin represents the intersection of bold design and global leadership,” the website reads, noting the proceeds go to the Obama Foundation “to inspire, empower and connect people to change their world.” Each pin is “handcrafted from unfired paper clay,” and...

Perry Stone, a well-known evangelist, author and Bible teacher from Tennessee, warned that fellow pastors were recently invited to a secret meeting with US intelligence officials to prepare for the release of secret files on extraterrestrials. According to Stone, the officials warned a small group of pastors with a large reach in the Christian community that the government was about to release reports and possibly videos of aliens and spacecraft which were not from this planet.

By the time doctors detect pancreatic cancer, it’s often too late to treat effectively. But a new study suggests that artificial intelligence might be able to find signs of the disease before tumors are visible on a scan. An AI model developed at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, detected abnormalities on patients’ CT scans up to three years before they were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to research published this week in the journal Gut. The scientists behind the model, which is now being evaluated in a clinical trial, trained it by feeding it CT scans from patients who...

A new study by Texas A&M University scientists offers fresh clues to a long-standing puzzle: why people who drink coffee tend to live longer and develop fewer chronic diseases. Their results suggest brewed coffee contains compounds that interact with a little-understood protein in the body, potentially influencing inflammation, aging and cancer-related processes. Hailemariam et al. demonstrate that brewed coffee and its major polyphenolics and polyhydroxy constituents are NR4A1 ligands and that NR4A1 may play an important role in the health-protective effects of coffee.

A team of astronomers in Japan has detected a thin atmosphere around (612533) 2002 XV93, a trans-Neptunian object about 500 km in diameter — an object far too small and cold to retain one.

Image credit: NAOJ. “In the cold reaches of the outer Solar System lie thousands of small objects known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) because they lie outside the orbit of Neptune,” said Dr. Ko Arimatsu from Ishigakijima Astronomical Observatory and colleagues. “A thin atmosphere has been observed around Pluto, the most famous TNO, but studies of other TNOs...

Usually, having an armed officer at school sort of helps deter the whole school shooting thing. I'm not sure if that's the case here. They still haven't found the gun! Here's what happened. This happened just before school let out on Monday, so at least there wasn't much left of the day (I guess?). The police are calling this "unfortunate and embarrassing," but that's not even the half of it. It's a lost gun on school property. More from that story above: Authorities say hallway surveillance images indicate that a limited number of people entered the restroom, but authorities have...

South Carolina killer mom Susan Smith is back up for parole once again after she was convicted of drowning her two young children. The 53-year-old, who is serving a life sentence for drowning her two young sons in a lake in 1994, was denied parole in November 2024, after spending 30 years incarcerated. Now, Smith is once again eligible for release as she continues to serve a 30-years-to-life sentence. Smith strapped her sons, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander Smith, into the back seat of her car and let it roll down a ramp into John D. Long Lake in Union,...

🚨 WOW! MULTIPLE high ranking DC police officials are set to be TERMINATED for manipulating crime data, pretending vioIent crime was dropping DRAMATICALLY prior to President Trump's takeover These people should lose their taxpayer funded retirements. Multiple DC police officers I've spoken with are VERY happy with this move For example, in some districts, armed home invasions were written down as "trespassing" instead — a vioIent felony dropped to a low-level misdemeanor, just to cook the crime stats.

THE 2026 FIFA World Cup is posing a threat to the United States’ expected $30 billion boom. Hotel and flight sales have proven lacklustre with one million tickets still unsold ahead of the World Cup.

A Chicago alderman, incensed by the upcoming closure of a Walgreens store amid safety concerns, stated that the corporate retailer should be charged with "first-degree corporate abandonment." Ald. William Hall, along with several community members, held a news conference Monday to voice their anger over the company's decision to close the location in Chicago’s 6th Ward in the Chatham neighborhood.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to respond to a request from a Minnesota committee seeking more information on her ties to the massive fraud scandal in the state, prompting a failed subpoena vote on Tuesday, but the committee’s chair says more options exist. The subpoena, which required a two-thirds committee vote in favor to pass, only got five out of the six votes needed despite the committee's Republican majority. "We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents," State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and...

How time travel could work: Scientists have uncovered a way to send messages into the past Time machines may seem better suited to science fiction than the physics lab, but experts say this futuristic technology could become a reality. Researchers have revealed how time travel could really work by using the laws of quantum physics. While their method won't let you hop back to the time of the dinosaurs, scientists say it could be possible to send messages into the past. The researchers even say this mind–bending technique would work just like in Christopher Nolan's sci–fi epic, Interstellar. In the...
