    In 2016, Kellyanne Conway became the first female campaign manager to win a presidential election. Kellyanne, a former pollster, is extremely bright and talented and helped Donald Trump win his first elected office as President of the United States. Instead of celebrating her outstanding win, the media attacked and smeared Kellyanne mercilessly for the next four years as she moved into a prominent role in the Trump administration. Meanwhile, her disgruntled husband George (now former husband) became a media darling after he joined the far-left in daily attacks on his wife's boss, Donald Trump. George also managed to kick off...

    A supercomputer in Shenzhen was declared the world’s fastest. It uses only standard microprocessors and not the special-purpose chips called graphics processing units.China took back a coveted computing crown from the United States on Tuesday, ratcheting up a fierce technological competition that has implications for science, national security and geopolitics. LineShine, a massive computing system in Shenzhen, China, was declared the world’s fastest by a group of researchers using a set of standard tests for supercomputers. Besides raw speed, the system stood out because it uses only standard microprocessors and not the special-purpose chips called graphics processing units, which most...

    Satellites don't always stay in orbit. As they get closer to Earth, atmospheric drag can pull them lower and lower until they burn up, with solar activity speeding up the process. NASA's Swift Space Observatory is facing that fate -- its orbit is decaying, and if left alone, it will be destroyed in a matter of months. But in a first-of-its-kind mission, Katalyst Space, a startup, is teaming up with NASA to try and rescue Swift using the company's newly developed robotic spacecraft, LINK. "This is a historic mission, you know, some would call it the first of its kind,...

    People are tired of paying more to scroll longer. Streaming was supposed to make movie night easier. Somehow, it made it exhausting. When every app wants more money, the old DVD shelf starts looking sane again. BRIEFING Grant here. Streaming literally revolutionized the way we all consume entertainment. Gone were the days of cable boxes and trips to Blockbuster. Instead, from the comfort of your own home, you got to choose exactly what you wanted to watch. But this convenience over the years has morphed. It's become more expensive and more complicated, and people are starting to yearn again for...

    Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing yet more scrutiny after archived social media posts surfaced containing graphic remarks, controversial political statements, and comments about military veterans. The posts, recovered from Platner’s former Reddit account and reviewed by multiple outlets, remained accessible through internet archives despite efforts to remove much of his online activity. Among the material drawing attention was a response Platner posted in 2014 to an online discussion asking users to share offensive jokes. Under the username P-Hustle, Platner responded to a Reddit prompt asking users to share “the most f*cked up, jaw-dropping, offensive joke you know?”...

    More than 450 alleged fraudsters — including 90 doctors and medical professionals — were busted for bilking at least $6.5 billion in fake Medicare and Medicaid claims, with one greedy nurse splashing her ill-gotten gains on an $865,000 Bulgari necklace, $594,000 Ferrari and a $4.6 million Philippines beach resort, authorities said. The colossal crackdown, which spanned 45 US states and territories, was announced Tuesday by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who called it “the greatest combined federal and state effort combating health care fraud in history.” In total, 455 people were netted — including alleged con artists who blew the...

    A Jewish civil rights group is urging the Justice Department to investigate Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his administration for alleged “discriminatory failure to protect Jewish residents from antisemitic hate” crimes. The bombshell accusations from the National Jewish Advocacy Center come two days after the Poetica Coffee shop in Brooklyn told pro-Israel Jewish Rep. Dan Goldman never to enter the eatery again, claiming it doesn’t serve “genocdial enablers.” “The National Jewish Advocacy Center writes to request that the Civil Rights Division open an investigation, under its pattern-or-practice authority … into whether the City of New York and the New York City...

    Eggs are a dietary staple for millions worldwide, known for their flavor and nutritional value. In the United States alone, per capita egg consumption reached 281.3 eggs in 2023, with projections suggesting it will rise to 284.4 in 2024, according to Statista. Yet, eggs have long been at the center of debates about their effects on cholesterol and heart health. In a groundbreaking experiment, Nick Norwitz, a Harvard student and Oxford-trained physiologist, consumed 24 eggs a day for 30 days, challenging conventional beliefs about dietary cholesterol. His unexpected results have sparked renewed discussions about the role of eggs in a...

    BOISE, Idaho - Idaho Department of Corrections released its plan this week for how it will carry out executions by firing squad. July 1st, firing squad will become the primary method for carrying out the death penalty. It's the first state to have the firing squad as a primary form; four other states have firing squad as a secondary option. The state passed legislation making this change, after encountering several issues carrying out executions by lethal injection. In 2024, the execution of Thomas Creech had to be stopped because of failure to establish an IV line through which to administer...

    Far-left House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier couldn't stand up to the questioning of mere radio hosts — abruptly ending the interview and storming out of the station. The dust up Tuesday morning unfolded when the La Mega radio hosts pressed the Mamdani-backed candidates in the NY13 race on her old social posts. The thin-skin socialist was set off when one of the hosts pressed her on a now-deleted post that referred to the Dominican flag as "violent" and decried the "f------ nationalism" of putting the flag in her profile. "As a Dominican, I come back and say it, I am...

    The unsettling swarm of drones that a downed US pilot in Iran said moved in a bizarre “jellyfish-like” formation indicates the Iranian regime has devoted significant resources to beefing up its drone program — so it can counter the conventional battlefield tech of its rivals. “They are adapting faster than us,” Brett Velicovich, drone expert and founder of Powerus, told The Post. “Iran has spent years developing capabilities designed to offset the overwhelmingly conventional advantages of the United States and its allies.” The unnamed F-15 pilot, who was rescued April 3 after hiding deep in enemy territory in the Zagros...

    People who are HIV positive but are otherwise qualified to join the military can once again do so while a legal challenge to the Pentagon’s restrictions on military service moves forward, according to a federal appeals court order issued this week. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit clarified Tuesday that a lower-court order blocking enforcement of the restrictions has been back in effect since May 18, when the full court agreed to rehear the case. The order applies to applicants who are HIV-positive but asymptomatic and have undetectable viral loads through medication.
