She was talented. She was beautiful. But the Dancer of Auschwitz was also Jewish…a fact that was important and tragic when she found herself at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. An Ingenious and Jewish DancerBorn in 1917, dancer Franceska Mann lived in Warsaw, Poland. In 1939, before World War II broke out, Franceska took fourth place in the international dance competition held in Brussels. The people of Poland considered her one of the most beautiful and promising dancers – both in classical and modern styles – in their country. But her Jewish faith changed that. Franceska regularly performed at Warsaw’s Melody...

Astron aerospace has shown a partial prototype of a new rotary combustion engine it claims runs at an extraordinary 60% thermal efficiency, burning totally clean with zero NOx emissions and nothing but fresh water out of the tailpipe. With internal combustion engines (ICE) on the way out and electric vehicles (EV) on the way in – both politically and environmentally – innovative ways of using renewable energy for clean transportation are at the forefront of many engineering minds. Astron Aerospace has recently announced its latest novel innovative engine, the H2Starfire. It's a sort of Wankel-rotary design, but with an interesting...

A funny thing happened at the Democratic National Convention last week. Not only has Kamala Harris stolen Donald Trump’s no-tax-on-tips policy but her party shape-shifted into MAGA Republicans in front of our eyes. Where once they slandered the American flag as racist and sometimes set it on fire, here were Democrats drowning in a sea of Stars and Stripes as Harris took the stage Thursday night. One minute Oprah was stealing Trump’s refrain about “common sense.” The next minute Pete Buttigieg was introducing himself to the crowd by saying: “You might recognize me from Fox News.” Conventiongoers wore camo hats...

I am standing on the floor of an arena in Chicago, waiting for Kamala Harris. It’s been nearly three hours. There are thousands of us squished together, toppling over, jostling, hot, uncomfortable, straining under the lights. Everywhere I look, there are people holding tall “Kamala” signs, shouting, screaming, panting, roaring. Music is pounding. It was like this last night, and the night before, and the night before that: a 96-hour psycho war dance. To get an idea of what has been achieved at this year’s Democratic National Convention — how a party purges itself of one candidate and installs another...

Denver’s decision to welcome migrants with open arms is bringing bloodshed to the suburbs next door. A notorious Venezuelan prison gang has set up shop in Aurora, Colorado — even though the town wanted no part of the influx of asylum seekers in the first place. Aurora — a quiet bedroom community with a population of 390,000 directly east of the Mile-High City — has become a base of operations for the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, which has seized multiple apartment complexes and set off a wave of violent crime. Denver leads the nation in new migrant arrivals per-capita,...

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Tuesday, Aug. 23, 1864. The enemy early yesterday morning disappeared from the front of the Fifth and Ninth Corps on the Weldon Railroad, and the belief is that the attempt to regain possession of this important line of communication has been abandoned, and that the enemy are fortifying their right flank to resist an attack in this direction from our forces. They may, however, be preparing to make a dash on our lines in some other direction. Occasional firing has been going on along the centre, and was quite lively during the night....

Powerhouse Arena, a bookstore, announced Thursday they fired the employee who nixed a book launch event due her anti-Israel bias and offered their apologies. The employee “abused her position” at Powerhouse by “injecting her own personal biases and prejudices where they were unneeded, unwanted, and unauthorized,” the statement posted on social media read. The employee told veteran author Joshua Leifer and his event moderator Rabbi Andy Bachman hours before the launch of Leifer’s new book Tuesday the event was suddenly cancelled. “We don’t want a Zionist on our stage,” the employee allegedly told Leifer when he and his wife tried...

Wherever one looks, socialism leaves behind a legacy of suffering and death on a mass scale, and Bangladesh’s socialist experiment was no exception. In 1971, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman led his country, Bangladesh, to independence from Pakistan. Afterward, he ruled as a brutal tyrant, turned to communist economics, and starved to death over one million people. Then he was assassinated. However, his surviving daughter, Sheikh Hasina, later rose to power in Bangladesh, establishing a cronyist, leftist dictatorship. Her regime never reinstated her father’s communist economic policies, but it did create a personality cult of Mujibur Rahman, commonly known in the region...

A year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate, mockingly asked a Tea Party gathering a question: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out?” The roomful of conservatives howled with laughter because by then, Obama’s dreamy campaign motto of “Hope and Change” had been replaced by hard policy lurches to the far left. The Palin question is a piece of history 2024 voters should keep in mind as they assess Kamala Harris. The parallels between then and now are striking. Like Obama, the Democrats’ current nominee has been maddeningly elusive about...

According to a statement released by the University of Tübingen, an international team of researchers has studied the effects of climate change on hunter-gatherers living in Europe between 47,000 and 7,000 years ago by analyzing their teeth with a machine learning algorithm called Pheno-ABC. "This has allowed us to collect an unprecedented dataset [including some 450 prehistoric humans from all over Europe] that is significantly larger than previous skeletal and genetic datasets," said Hannes Rathmann of the University of Tübingen. The researchers focused on inheritable features of teeth, such as their shape, the ridge and groove patterns on the chewing...

Welcome to 13 WORST American Cars From The 1950s, Nobody Wants Back! The 1950s was a decade known for bold, brutalist architecture and some of the flashiest cars in history.

The Harris campaign’s principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told MSNBC on Friday that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will talk to the press “on her time.” Harris has yet to conduct a single sit-down interview or press conference since the launch of her campaign on July 21. MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera asked Fulks for a specified time on when Harris will commit to an interview. “I’m wondering, because we’ve been all wanting to speak with the vice president, herself, we know it’s been a truncated start to this campaign for her as presidential candidate, but when will she sit down with...

The withdrawal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential race and his endorsement of former President Donald Trump was yet another extraordinary moment in an election that has been anything but predictable. Only a year ago, it would have been unthinkable that a sitting president would be effectively forced off a ticket and replaced by a candidate who did not secure a single vote for president. Now, the nephew of John F. Kennedy and son of the Robert F. Kennedy has not just withdrawn from the Democratic Party but endorsed the Republican nominee. Amidst all of the claimed “joy”...

It seems impossible to deny that powerful forces are conspiring to suppress basic freedoms and impose top-down control over American society. Intelligence agencies team up with Big Tech to censor information, governments are marking political dissidents as “terror threats,” and presidential candidates are hand-picked by party elites.Looking around, I can’t help but feel that the American way of life is under attack. Yet at the same time, I know that research shows that successful people don’t believe that their lives are subject to control by distant powers.Instead, they believe that effort is rewarded; they have an internal locus of control...
