South Carolina authorities are crediting a local reporter with helping them make a major breakthrough in a 1975 cold-case murder. The Greenville County Sheriff's Office on Monday revealed the identity of a murder victim named Oscar James Nedd, who was previously known only as Mr. X after a hunter found his body near Highway 20 and Blakely Road "wrapped in a sheet and smoldering, indicating it had been set on fire" in 1975. "Sheriff Hobart Lewis credits Brad Willis' podcast ‘Murder, Etc.’ for drawing attention to this case," the sheriff's office said in a Monday press release. Willis, a former...

(Credit: Dr. Kenneth O, UT Dallas) After twenty years of research, a team from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) says they have perfected a customized imaging chip that can let your mobile device “see” through walls. Designed using technology similar to package security scanners employed by airline personnel, the chip is small enough to fit into nearly all mobile devices, turning your everyday cell phone into a Superman-inspired X-ray-style scanner. “This technology is like Superman’s X-ray vision,” said Dr. Kenneth K. O, director of the Texas Analog Center of Excellence (TxACE) and the Texas Instruments Distinguished University Chair...

Most people alive today carry traces of genes inherited from Neanderthals -- the enduring legacy of prehistoric hookups with our extinct cousins. But researchers have long debated when and where that mingling happened, and whether these were one-off romps or commonplace trysts. Now, an analysis of ancient and modern genomes suggests contemporary people's Neanderthal DNA came from a single, prolonged period of mixing some 47,000 years ago...To do that, Priya Moorjani, a population geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues analyzed previously sequenced genomes from 59 ancient H. sapiens, mostly from Western Europe and Asia, dating from between...

For almost 400 years America has seen its citizens educating their children and themselves, though both the scope, structure and quality of education has changed somewhat during that time. For much of the history of the United States, education of children took place primarily at home, often along with private schools for some, and locally managed and supported schools for others. Education included the general ethos of Christianity and Biblical morality as well as academic subjects. The New England Primer and later, the nation-wide McGuffey's Readers (120+ million copies) were the primary instruments of education, and in helping to form...

Hard Fighting There Wednesday Morning--The Army of the Potomac All Across the James. Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 16. One of Gen. GRANT'S couriers who arrived here this morning from Bermuda Hundred, with dispatches for the Government, says that when he left there on yesterday morning, (Wednesday, the 15th,) fighting was going on in the vicinity of Petersburgh. The cannonading and musketry firing, which could be distinctly heard at the Landing, began at early dawn. It was very heavy, and appeared to be momentarily increasing in severity. Gen. GRANT's whole army was across the James --...

(Credit: KyotoU/Gakuji Tobiyama) In May 2023, researchers at Kyoto University and the Japanese-based wood manufacturing company Sumitomo Forestry unveiled the world’s first wooden satellite, breaking new ground in space technology. Called the LignoSat, this small cube (around 10 centimeters, or 3 inches) contains solar panels and circuit boards built into its wooden sides. These panels contain special fittings that don’t require adhesive but allow the sides to interlock into place using traditional Japanese wood-carving techniques. The project began slowly in 2020. Since its unveiling, the satellite has been transferred from its research facility to JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), where...

PHOENIX — B-24? A bingo caller shouted “Union jobs” and “Taking on Big Pharma” for seniors to fill with crayons cards that also included “Dr. Jill Biden” before the first lady herself showed up to address a crowd of roughly 250 Saturday afternoon — trying to ease concerns as her husband, 81, faces increasing public scrutiny regarding his mental acuity. Mere hours after the first lady’s event, President Biden undercut her message with his third viral moment in a week, appearing to freeze up at a celebrity-led Los Angeles fundraiser before former President Barack Obama led him off the stage....

One of the big lies in today’s world is that the Jews are white supremacist colonizers, while the people in Gaza and the West Bank are the region’s indigenous inhabitants. In fact, the contrary is true. Jews long predated Muslims in the region, as described in the Bible. Now, there’s more evidence that Isaiah, 2 Kings, and 2 Chronicles all accurately describe the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem 2,700 years ago.During the reign of Hezekiah of Judah in Jerusalem and Sennacherib in Assyria, the mighty Assyrian kingdom attacked Jerusalem (around 701 BC). We know it happened because of a clay prism...

Believe it or not, abortion wasn’t originally part of the women’s movement, and it wasn’t introduced to the larger women’s movement by women. Instead, it was introduced by two pro-abortion men who wanted to repeal abortion legislation: Bernard Nathanson and Lawrence Lader. Nathanson was a well-known abortionist who eventually renounced his pro-choice beliefs and his connection to abortion groups, exposing the lies he told with NARAL (which he helped to found) to legalize abortion. Lader’s role in the fight to legalize abortion began with Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and went all the way to the Supreme Court and the...

The “father of the abortion movement,” Larry Lader, was heavily influenced by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, about whom he wrote a biography. Planned Parenthood was also steeped in eugenics from its beginning, and boasted a list of eugenics proponents as its board members. Although the two shared a eugenics ideology, Lader would eventually part ways with Sanger over abortion. But it was perhaps Sanger’s warped eugenic ideology that motivated Lader to manipulate the 1960s women’s movement to push for abortion legalization. Lader wasn’t interested in equal rights… just ‘abortion rights’ “Larry never seemed to be interested in the rest...

A community of society-shunning Americans launched a survivalist haven in the Utah desert after finding themselves alienated from the modern world. Hundreds of people have set themselves up to live off the land under 'Operation Self-Reliance,' feeling that getting off-the-grid is the solution to a crumbling culture. The commune was established by Philip Gleason, 74, a former general contractor who felt a calling to allow people to grow their own food, pump their own water and rely on nothing but themselves. He admitted to Deseret News that while some choose to live there for environmental or health reasons, its intended...

Some 12 kilometers from Minusinsk, near the settlement of Bystraya, is one of many locations in Russia's eastern regions where natural gas bubbles up out of the ground. In the summer, locals bring sausages and other food to cook over the open "eternal flames." Although Russia is a global leader in the production of natural gas, millions of residents of its coldest, easternmost regions remain unconnected to gas lines. . Across the region each winter, officials regularly issued air-quality warnings because of the smog from burning coal. In 2021, children from Minusinsk donned gas masks and recorded video appeals in...

Dispatches from Secretary Stanton-Late Intelligence from Gen. Sherman-Fighting going on at Kenesaw-The Rebel Gen. Polk Killed-The Disaster to Gen. Sturgis and the Means Taken to Repair it.[OFFICIAL.] WASHINGTON, June 15 -- 7 A.M. To Major-Gen. Dix: The movement of the Army of the Potomac to the south side of Richmond, across the Chickahominy River and James River, has progressed far enough to admit the publication of some general facts, without danger of premature disclosure. After several days' preliminary preparations, the movement commenced on Sunday night. The Eighteenth Army Corps, under command of Gen. SMITH, marched to White House and there...

A Virginia school district was sued this week after it restored Confederate military names for two buildings, foreshadowing a broader battle that is heating up ahead of the election. The Virginia NAACP sued the school board in Shenandoah County after it voted to change Mountain View High School to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary back to Ashby Lee Elementary. The NAACP argues in its federal lawsuit that students’ constitutional rights were violated by the district’s act of reverting back to Confederate names. It invoked the First Amendment and 14th Amendment in its lawsuit, saying it “prohibits racial...

The “Father of Abortion Rights,” Larry Lader, held eugenic beliefs inspired by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger — but on abortion, they parted ways, with Lader being extremely in favor of abortion. Lader and his colleague Bernard Nathanson were the two men most instrumental in pushing the 1960’s women’s movement towards abortion. The reason we know this information, says “Subverted” author Sue Ellen Browder, is because Nathanson, an abortionist who later converted to the pro-life cause, had stories to tell. Image: Larry Lader and Bernard Nathanson. Both men worked against the feminist pro-life movement to push abortion on women. Browder...

Hunter Biden’s conviction on felony gun charges increases the likelihood he could face stiffer penalties at his September tax-evasion trial should he be found guilty, an expert told The Post. One of Biden’s current mitigating factors for when he is sentenced by Judge Maryellen Noreika on the gun charges is the fact that he has no criminal history — something that won’t be true during his next trial in California overseen by Judge Mark C. Scarsi. Both jurists were appointed to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump. “It can undermine him in two ways. First, he cannot count...

House Oversight Chair James Comer indicated Republicans will soon release an interim report detailing alleged crimes uncovered in their impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. Comer said in a Fox News interview that the report will show crimes committed by Biden and his administration during and after the Obama-Biden White House years. “I think that it’s no secret Joe Biden’s committed many crimes, and I think that you’re going to see a report very soon. That report is imminent,” Comer said. “That will probably be an interim report that updates everyone on the crimes that Biden and his administration have...

The American west has always seemed to be, at least as portrayed in western movies, a terrible place. This might be purely subjective – I also consider every science fiction film a kind of dystopia, and the world of the modern rom com an extension of high school (which is to say a circle of hell). But I was reminded of this once again while watching Anthony Mann's 1953 film The Naked Spur, one of five westerns Mann made with James Stewart, all of which are considered crucial revisionist or "psychological" westerns. There are only five characters in Mann's film,...
