The Nuggets announced in a statement that the 28-year-old Gordon "is in good condition" but will remain away from the team.

Two officers with the San Ramon Police Department were taken to an area hospital Wednesday after being exposed to narcotics thought to be fentanyl during the arrest of two suspects in the parking lot of a Safeway store. According to the police department, the two officers responded to the parking lot of the Safeway located at 2505 San Ramon Valley Boulevard at around 11 a.m. after a report of a person who appeared to be passed out inside a vehicle. During a welfare check on the individual, officers spotted suspected narcotics in plain view. The two occupants found in the...

A group of scientists has proposed building a giant space curtain to reduce global warming and shield Earth from solar radiation. Spanning as much as 4 million square kilometers, this megastructure aimed to fight “climate change” would be located about 1 million miles from Earth, in an area known as the Sun-Earth Lagrange-1 point, according to The Messenger, a news website launched in May. The point marks the area between the sun and the Earth where the combined gravitational forces of the star and planet create equilibrium that allows a spacecraft to be “parked,” according to Space.com. Upon installation, the...

VIDEO(Note: My commentary on this video originally recorded on December 25, 2023.) On Christmas Eve the YouTube CENSORS gave me their Christmas "gift" of a Community Guidelines strike. There was NO explanation as to the reason for the strike. Normally I can quickly figure out the reasons for such strikes even though they are quite stupid. However, in this case I can't see how my video in any way could trigger them to give my DUmmie FUnnies channel a strike. Therefore I present that video to you in its entirety for you to figure out what could have disturbed them...

Interesting to analyze the number of participants vs the number of “viewers”. Sadly many do not want to put their RESUME next to their vote.

Things have not calmed down on the campus of Harvard. Quite the opposite — behind the ivy-choked masonry in Boston, the atmosphere is roiling. After the campus president inflamed the country, we now have faculty members stepping up to decry her stature, and businesses are showing signs of backing away from the once austere character of the college’s graduates, as we are seeing evidence of a viral mindset infecting this school. You know things are bad when a story like this not only remains in the news cycle but continues to evolve. Following her testimony before Congress over the actions...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that former President Donald Trump was using “extreme” language on immigration because he was “nervous his base is going to leave him.” Sununu said, “Everyone knows Donald Trump’s record. You know, as Republicans, we want that border secure. You know, we want the right fiscal policies in place. We wanted to drain the swamp. He didn’t do any of it. And there’s no, you don’t even have to run ads on that. He just didn’t get it done. ”

Police also wrongly cited him for "improper hand signal" after the man flipped them off.Last year, Delaware police prevented 54-year-old Jonathan Guessford from holding a sign warning drivers about a speed trap and wrongfully cited him for "improper hand signal" after he flipped off the officers who seized and tore up his sign. Police have now agreed to pay Guessford $50,000 as part of a settlement reached in a lawsuit alleging that police violated his civil rights. Following several run-ins with the police, Guessford decided to "stage protests whenever he saw police officers stopping unsuspected vehicles using a radar gun,"...

This holographic concept could explain a mystery about black holes, but the math may not represent reality.As theoretical physics delves deeper into the fundamental nature of reality, we’re left to grapple with the questions it leaves us. For example, some physicists claim that our universe is merely an illusion, a product of quantum machinations happening in a lower-dimensional setting—in other words, a hologram. Black Holes May Be Evidence The trouble began with those bothersome boogeymen of the cosmos, black holes. On the surface (and careful readers will be rewarded later with the realization that this is a pun), black holes...

Buyer beware.If you walk into a supermarket, convenience store, or other retailer anywhere in America and notice that they have Mountain Dew and Sunny Delight in their refrigerators, and Swedish Fish, Jolly Ranchers, and Twizzlers for sale in the candy aisle, you wouldn’t think anything about it. But if you wandered into a shop in England and saw those same drinks and candies, then there’s a good chance that retailer is about to get a visit from the Trading Standards office. Trading Standards, the local authorities that enforce consumer-protection regulations, have seized thousands of dollars worth of common American candies...

Do you think the punishment fits the crime?Rosemary Hayne, a 39-year-old woman from Ohio, just received perhaps the lightest sentencing possible after assaulting a Chipotle employee. On November 28, Judge Timothy Gilligan of Parma Municipal Court in Ohio ruled on Hayne’s case, noting just how obscene a crime it was. “You didn’t get your burrito bowl the way you like it, and this is how you respond?” Judge Gilligan said during the sentencing. “This is not ‘Real Housewives’ of Parma. This behavior is not acceptable.” The entire real-life episode was filmed by a bystander who posted the video to Reddit,...

The world is moving quickly towards electric vehicles, but many challenges lie ahead. We talked to EV experts about what the future holds and the Israeli companies making a difference.The fossil-fuel-fed internal combustion engine (ICE) is on its way to becoming a fossil itself, replaced by battery-powered and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs). The e-mobility revolution was a long time in coming – the first electric car was built before the turn of the 20th century – because only recently has technology advanced enough to make it possible. From 2017 to 2022, EV sales jumped from around 1 million to...

Lawyer who has advised foreign secretary says Israel has the capacity, but not the will, to relocate even one settlerNearly 200,000 of the 700,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank would have to be relocated to Israel to create a viable Palestinian state, according to an Israeli lawyer from whom the UK foreign secretary, Lord Cameron, has sought advice on his visits to Israel. Cameron has said he realises reaching a two-state solution would be tough, but he has not spelled out the practical consequences in terms of borders, including the need to persuade so many Israelis to relocate. Cameron...

VIDEOWhat makes Neil Cavuto desperately BEGGING Vivek Ramaswamy to disqualify himself from the December 6 GOP Loser Debate so hilarious is how laughably UNSUBTLE his pleas are. Please Vivek! Please say out loud that you don't pledge to support the other GOP losers for President if they are nominated. PRETTY PLEASE! That way you will be DISQUALIFIED from appearing at the debate. More importantly, you won't be able to embarrass our dearest Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel again for being incompetent (and greedy). Nice try, Neil, but maybe you should learn the art of being at least a little bit SUBTLE. People...
