  • Hillary Defeated Again: Hulu Passes On ‘Rodham’ After Nearly 2 Years In Development

    05/18/2022 8:08:54 AM PDT · by bitt · 51 replies
    Published 3 hours ago on May 18, 2022 By Chief Editor Hillary Clinton took another loss as Hulu has passed on a show about her that had been in development at the network for nearly two years. “Rodham” is based on the novel of the same name, which tells the story of an alternate universe in which Hillary does not marry Bill Clinton, but instead serves as a Northwestern University professor before running for president in 2016. “Rodham is a nauseating, moving, morally suggestive, technically brilliant book that made me think more than any other in recent memory about the...
  • Wayne Lapierre vs LTC Allen West to Lead the NRA

    Former congressman, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, is challenging Wayne Lapierre for his job as Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association. A group of former & current NRA board members has called on West to “rescue” the NRA from what they see as poor management. And Allen West answered their call. The NRA has been under fire from people like New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Some claim that New York is just targeting the NRA because they are the most prominent gun-rights group in the country, while others think that internal corruption led the NRA to the...

    On Saturday, a couple with a beautiful home in Rancho Peñasquitos, located in San Diego, California, decided to go out for lunch. Normally, they’d spend their Saturday afternoon lounging in their backyard oasis, swimming in their pool, but on that particular day they decided to go out instead — a choice that ended up making all the difference. That’s because at about 1:00 p.m. that same day, a blue BMW went off the road, crashed through a fence and landed upside-down in their once-perfect, sparkling pool.

    Dr. Paul Patey knows a young man could lose his life unless he does something. The ambulance he's in races toward St. John's, carrying a teenager who desperately needs to have blood drained from his recently injured brain. Armed with a scalpel and a drill he borrowed from a maintenance man at the William H. Newhook Community Health Centre in Whitbourne, Patey tells the paramedic driving to find a safe spot to stop so he can try to bore a hole in the young man's skull. "I took the drill and put it against the bone," Patey recalled. "I took...
  • 5 Warning Signs You’re Not Getting Enough Magnesium

    https://scitechdaily.com ^ | May 18, 2022 | Staff
    Food With Magnesium Many popular foods contain magnesium, including almonds, avocado, bananas, cashews, dark chocolate, and peanuts. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in muscle relaxation, blood pressure regulation, and nerve function. Magnesium is also involved in the production of energy from food. That’s why some people call it the “energy mineral.” Despite its importance, not everyone gets enough. Magnesium deficiency is relatively common in Western diets because so many people eat a heavily processed diet low in magnesium. Plus, they eat too few whole grains, nuts, seeds, and leafy green vegetables naturally high in magnesium. According...

  • Over 1,000 New Asteroids Discovered Hidden in Hubble Archives

    Researchers have found over 1,700 asteroid trails in archived Hubble data from the last 20 years. While many of the asteroids are previously known, more than 1,000 are not. What good are another 1,000 asteroids? Like all asteroids, they could hold valuable clues to the Solar System's history. As time passes and more and more telescopes perform more and more observations, their combined archival data keeps growing. Sometimes discoveries lurk in that data that await new analytical tools or renewed efforts from scientists before they're revealed. That's what happened in an effort called the Hubble Asteroid Hunter. In 2019 a...

    The generation that did everything it was told to do is keen on burning down the very culture which sold them a lie. Perhaps you too are devastated by this week’s crushing news—Meghan Markle’s Netflix show has been canceled. The show, of course, a one-word title by the name of “Pearl,” is about an oppressed young woman who deigned to overcome obstacles such as someone not validating her every whim, not affirming nor flattering her every thought. I wrote this before bothering to Google the name and premise of the now regrettably canceled show—unremarkably, my assumptions were faultless. Meghan would...

    Once again, Florida’s Ron DeSantis proves he has all the right enemies. If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, you just might be named Ron DeSantis. Let’s recap. On April 22, the Florida governor signed the “Stop WOKE Act,” which, in the words of USA Today, “prohibits any teaching that could make students feel they bear personal responsibility for historic wrongs because of their race, color, sex or national origin.” The law was necessary because, as you can see in any number of YouTube videos of school-board meetings around...
  • Libertarian Politician Ingram Spencer Describes The Horrible Conditions Of His Imprisonment In Australia During An Election Campaign

    Libertarian politician, the endorsed candidate of the United Australia Party for the federal parliament seat of Higgins, has been released on bail from jail. He was imprisoned for most of the last few weeks of an election campaign as a result of attempting to communicate with a woman. We do not know what he said or who she is. But the fantasy that Australia is a free democratic society has been shown to be ridiculous yet again.

    When are conservatives going to fight back against the violence of the left? It's glaringly obvious that the radicals in the Democrat party are using tactics that put many people in fear of physical assault or damage to their property. This became clear during the Trump presidency, when proud Americans were beaten up in public for wearing hats supporting him. Viral videos of hats being snatched from the heads of people in restaurants, in shopping malls, or just walking along a street became common. Did we ever think the time would come when people wearing caps that read "Make America...

    "Anti-racism" is a totalitarian religion dressed up in noble language. It is not uncommon in today's racially saturated political climate for a student of higher education to receive a handful of emails from their university's president or provost with a reminder that it is no longer satisfactory to unostentatiously declare yourself "not racist." Instead, you must "do the work" (as Karl Marx would say) and be a fervent "anti-racist." Students with little or zero understanding of their university leaders' unadulterated ignorance, or a calculated warped propaganda campaign (which is more likely the case), would be forgiven for taking the term...

    WASHINGTON, Saturday, May 17. The following dispatch has-just been received at the War Department, (11 o'clock P.M.:) WILLIAMSBURGH, May 17. To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: The gunboats Galena, Monitor, Aroostook, Naugatuck and Port Royal, were repulsed from Fort Darling, seven miles below Richmond, yesterday. A portion of them have returned to Jamestown Island, near this place, in James River. Lieut.
