She landed a job after college working in the emergency department at a Fort Walton Beach, Fla., hospital.Since then, she’s been kicked, spat on and shoved to the ground. Last year, after an emergency patient strangled her, she left for a role remotely monitoring patients.

A mom of seven was fatally struck by a train on her morning run in Arizona — likely because she was in her “own world” filming herself while wearing noise-cancelling headphones, according to her family. Thelma Candelaria, 47, had started filming her morning runs around Eloy as part of a health kick that coincided with her also getting baptized, her grieving family told KTVK. She shared her last clip early Thursday, where she told her Instagram followers she was taking running “seriously” as she flashed a peace sign and gave a thumbs up. She ran and then filmed a train...

Copenhagen is famed for its innovative gastronomy and elaborate dishes. But these days its hottest food is its most basic: just bread, butter and hard cheese. And Copenhagen’s top bakeries are in a dead heat to make the best one around. It’s called a bolle med ost (bun with cheese), shortened by many to BMO, an abbreviation that was entered into the biggest Danish dictionary this year. Often served open-faced, this sort-of-sandwich is all about the fundamentals — sparer than smorrebrod and a test of how sublime the simple can be. That’s a 180 from the best-known Danish cuisine, which...

WCBD reports that a bone comb has been unearthed at Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site, which is located on the Ashley River, about 20 miles from the city of Charleston. The simple comb may have been discarded when too many of its tines had broken off. The village of Dorchester was founded in 1697 and abandoned before the Revolutionary War. A brick church bell tower, traces of the town's log wharf, and the remains of a fort made of oyster-shell concrete remain at the site. For more about the site, go to "Off the Grid: Dorchester, South Carolina."

Delays in approving transfers from partner countries coincide with a worsening rupture between President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian missile and drone attacks, officials said Monday, a delay that comes as President Donald Trump has embraced Russia and slammed Ukraine in recent weeks. At least some of the transfers of Patriot interceptor missiles are from countries friendly to Ukraine that require Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to approve the handoff, according to a U.S. official and three additional people...

On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert “Bob” Gimlin captured just under a minute of shaky, grainy 16mm film footage of Bigfoot. Allegedly. Nearly 60 years later, the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot finally puts the issue to rest: it was a hoax. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Of course it was a hoax.” To many of us, the clip was an obvious ruse. That seven-foot-tall hirsute fella is a person in a suit. Bigfoot, like Nessie, the Abominable Snowman, the Jersey Devil, and El Chupacabra, does not exist. However, for many others, the myth has persisted. Those 59...

There are, as best I can fathom, three possible options for what you are about to read from Texas Senator John Cornyn. The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X Account:[SOURCE]It is the official position of the United States government that Ukraine has never had access to the “Starshield” global satellite system used by the United States military for communication and global guidance targeting. Giving Ukraine access to Starshield would be akin to the United States operating missile and drone targeting of nuclear armed Russia.For obvious reasons the U.S. government would not want to escalate to direct military...

Former Biden White House aide and Democratic strategist Yemisi Egbewole predicted that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would be sidelined ahead of the 2028 presidential election during a Wednesday episode of "The Fifth Column" podcast, hosted by Kmele Foster and Michael Moynihan, despite the socialist movement's recent primary victories. When asked by Foster whether the Democratic Party was moving toward the DSA's ideology, Egbewole, a senior fellow at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, predicted the movement would struggle to translate its recent successes into national influence. "Going into 2028, the DSA... Baby gets put in a corner,"...

Feds have DNA evidence that can prove Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud, wed her brother: sources WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post.
