This year, the excavation has revealed the entrance to the temple, the building's original floor, the base of a limestone column, parts of a granite column thought to have been part of the entrance portico, and granite doorframes...

Sure, it’s not turning empty soda cans into airplane parts. But giving new life to the fallen fat is how AlloClae — a glamorous, albeit ghoulish, new advancement in non-surgical cosmetic enhancements — is helping slim centerfolds in NYC and beyond achieve the BBLs and boob jobs of their wildest dreams. And it’s different from all the other nonsurgical enlargements on the market because, well, it’s reliant on people who’ve kicked the bucket. If you’re suddenly worried that ticking the organ donor box on your driver’s license could mean you wind up on someone else’s behind in the afterlife, it’s...

Eswin Mejia received 20 to 22 years in prison for motor vehicle homicide and flight to avoid arrest. Mejia caused the crash that killed Sarah Root near 33rd and L streets in 2016.

A San Fernando Valley community is outraged and devastated after federal immigration agents forced their way onto the grounds of a church during a food giveaway and arrested a man who church officials say helps with children’s ministries.

Speaking to KTLA 5’s Kimberly Cheng, Pastor Aguilon said he was in contact with Chavez’s wife, who said Carlos, the sole provider for their family, has already...

Our town on the San Francisco Peninsula has had a string of auto burglaries in recent months. The Police Department sent a message to our neighborhood group saying: "We encourage everyone to lock their vehicles and to take out all personal belongings, electronics and valuables. The thieves have electronic devices that detect devices with Bluetooth, so they can use the device outside a vehicle and they will know if there is a device inside with Bluetooth (i.e. laptop, iPad, AirPods, etc) and they will then break into the trunk, even if nothing is visible in the interior of the car....

Explanation: What part of Orion is this? Just north of the famous Orion Nebula is a picturesque star forming region in Orion's Sword that contains a lot of intricate dust -- some of which appears blue because it reflects the light of bright embedded stars. The region's popular name is the Running Man Nebula because, looked at from the right, part of the brown dust appears to be running legs. Cataloged as Sharpless 279, the reflection nebula is not only part of the constellation of Orion, but part of the greater Orion molecular cloud complex. Light from the Running Man's...

Maybe the UN can sell Dictator Scouts cookies as we stop footing its bills. The BBC reported, “The United Nations is at risk of ‘imminent financial collapse’ due to member states not paying their fees, the body’s head has warned. “António Guterres said the UN faced a financial crisis which was ‘deepening, threatening program delivery,’ and that money could run out by July. “He wrote in a letter to all 193 member states that they had to honor their mandatory payments or overhaul the organisation’s financial rules to avoid collapse. “It comes after the UN’s largest contributor, the U.S., refused...

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he “saw no evidence” to back the claims of senior Trump administration officials that Alex Pretti was attempting to assault law enforcement officers and instead “saw a man that was retreating” when he was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis. “I saw no evidence — I saw a man that was retreating. He went to the middle of the street, he didn’t even obstruct traffic, he let a car go through. As the agents advanced on him, he retreated to the side of the street. A woman is violently...

I first cover the price of silver at the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Then, I present a spreadsheet of 10 dealers I asked how much their 1 kg silver bars were selling for. I also show 6 clips of me interacting with some of the vendors. Note that on the second clip, the first part was about indium ingots.

Sunday's edition of MS NOW's The Weekend stoked paranoid fears of "black and brown" people being targeted by ICE, and the Trump administration at large. Co-host Eugene Daniels primed the persecution complex, teeing up The Atlantic author Adam Serwer: "Trump and co. get to decide who gets the benefit the entire Constitution and who gets to say that they are an American living in this country. And often the people left out of that are black and brown people."Serwer was only too happy to ratchet up the paranoia: "This entire immigration operation has been an excuse to violate the 14th...

Two Republican candidates are winning the Top Two spots in the latest polls and too many Democratic candidates are running to replace Gavin Newsom. Normally, Democratic top brass would have forced these egos into a room and made them bow to whoever could generate the best donors and media buzz. This time these Democratic candidates refuse to lose their one shot at THE major seat. The Democrat EGO and drive for higher office are splitting the 40 percent-plus registration of Democratic voters in the state. The Top Two Republicans can gather enough support to blow past the Democrats and take...

Let’s try a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that Pearl Harbor happened. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and destroyed the bulk of our Pacific fleet. But nobody talked about it. Nobody reported on it. In fact, the press said that there was no attack, perhaps only a Japanese protest against American government actions in the Pacific. If you suggested going to war with Japan, you were called a Nazi, a racist, and a xenophobe. That sounds absurd, but it’s effectively what’s going on right now. Every day in a thousand different ways, we are being attacked. The republic is being threatened....

Of course, federal immigration law states that hopeful immigrants cannot just arrive on America’s shores, but must file for visas or asylum while still in their own country (or otherwise outside the U.S.), then go through applications and interviews before being allowed to come to the United States. The far-left mayor’s comments have elicited a wide range of replies from congressmen, conservatives, and tens of thousands of regular Americans alike.
