The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point. 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. 3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant. 4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decade's worth of World...

A new study examines how Americans acquired food at various points during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how those activities changed over time as case numbers fluctuated and vaccines became available. "In addition to food acquisition and the restaurant and grocery industry, this also tells us how people behave in a time of crisis. It helps us prepare for the next crisis," said Melissa Ocepek, a professor of information sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign whose work looks at the intersection of information and culture with a strong emphasis on food. Ocepek worked with Brenna Ellison, a former Illinois professor...

Crimes committed in Florida can be prosecuted by and through Floridian legal agencies.

This pdf includes a short summary and links to 89 studies and video commentaries on those studies. I have been collecting this information for years.

Lewiston, ME: Every year since 1818, the Farmers’ Almanac provides an extended weather forecast that helps people plan ahead. This year, with the extreme summer weather conditions broiling the country, and the growing concern over the rising costs of heating oil, Farmers’ Almanac is releasing its winter weather forecast earlier than ever. The 2023 Farmers’ Almanac, which hits the store shelves on August 15, is warning readers that this winter will be filled plenty of shaking, shivering, and shoveling. How Cold? Shivery temperatures are predicted to rattle warm weather seekers in the Southeast and South Central states, but the real...

This month marks 30 years since Ruby Ridge, one of those events that, as Dan Gelernter explains, the FBI prefers Americans to ignore. That attitude invites a look at those events, as described by the victims of FBI violence.Army veteran Randy Weaver believed the world had become corrupt and dangerous, so he chose to be a survivalist. In 1983, Weaver built a cabin in the remote Ruby Ridge area of northern Idaho and lived there with his wife Vicky, daughters Sara and Elisheba, son Samuel, and family friend Kevin Harris.Weaver held anti-government views but was not a member of the...

Bill Whittle demolishes Jon Stewart's contention that the U.S. should have dropped a demonstration atomic bomb before using real bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This video is one year old today.

Everyone, do you remember the YouTuber or blogger who was actively posting about the Clinton Foundation not too many years ago? I seem to remember they had an ally investigator who was distinguished in accounting, if I remember correctly. They often would go live on Sunday nights, and I think they kept a website with records. I used to listen faithfully, and now I’m having a devils time remembering who they were, and I can’t find it by searching Google. Thank you! Missing you all… Just being…

The endorsement that has loomed over the Republican race for Michigan governor has come in. Tudor Dixon announced late Friday that former President Donald Trump endorsed her for governor. “It is a great honor to receive President Trump’s endorsement and have the strength of our campaign to defeat Gretchen Whitmer further affirmed by his support,” Dixon said in a statement released late Friday. In the last poll before the primary, Dixon was leading the other candidates, coming in at 19%. But it was a narrow lead, and more than 30% of Republican votes hadn’t decided who they were going with....

Connecticut police have announced three new arrests in connection with a high school brawl that left Shelton lacrosse player James McGrath dead in May. The suspects, two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, surrendered voluntarily, according to the Shelton Police Department. The three of them allegedly attacked a 16-year-old male, with one of them striking him with a helmet outside a home on Lazy Brook Road.

“The estimate is derived from NSSF research, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Report (AFMER) and U.S. International Trade Commission (U.S. ITC) data, in cooperation with manufacturers, importers and exporters of MSRs, or AR-15 and AK-style rifles,” the press release notes. “This most recent estimate includes production figures current through 2020, when the industry estimates over 2,798,000 of these rifles were produced or imported.” In light of the new figures, NSSF points out there are more AR/AK-style firearms “in circulation today than there are Ford F-Series trucks on the road.” NSSF President and...

George Soros is throwing $1M to support Democrat Beto O’Rourke, who seeks to become the next governor of Texas.

Recording made in 1947 when he was 101 years old as an oral history of the American Civil War, (or the War Between the States, as it is known in South). This man joined the 24th Virginia Calvary in 1862 at the age of 16 and and half. He was eventually taken prisoner in the Spring of 1965 at what must have been the Battle of Hillsman's House since her refers to Gen. Ewell's surrender. He was held at Point Lookout, Maryland until the end of the war. He is quite emphatic that the South didn't fight for "the preservation...

It took awhile, but the Star Wars prequels are now considered cool. Will Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull get the same critical re-evaluation? It hasn’t happened yet, and maybe it shouldn’t considering the film features a scene where Shia LaBeouf swings through the jungle with a bunch of CGI monkeys, but… what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, the Indiana Jones movie with the aliens. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull writer David Koepp recently appeared on the Script Apart podcast, where he discussed the decision to add extra-terrestrials to the Indy...

Help Build Support for Reproductive Freedom! Reproductive rights are under attack. The anti-choice supermajority on the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and unleash a wave of anti-choice laws across the country. Every person should have the freedom to make their own decisions about their life, body, and family; Abortion care gives people that freedom. This summer, we’re building the support and resources needed for groups like The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Planned Parenthood to pass laws and help elect leaders who will protect the right to abortion nationwide. Get paid...

James Otis (1725-1783) was the King's advocate-general of the vice-admiralty court at Boston. In 1761, he was elected as a representative of Boston to Massachusetts' colonial government, called the General Court. Download as PDF ... Otis' main political opponent was acting Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson, a politically polarizing figure whose unbending Loyalist acts greatly increased tensions with colonists. Choosing loyalty to Britain over America, Hutchinson created a storm of protests when he issued "writs of assistance." Hatred for Hutchinson's policies resulted in his home being ransacked. In February of 1761, Otis argued for five straight hours on the illegality of...

...It’s easy to look at the gas pump right now and think that station owners are taking you for a ride. But the business model of gas stations is a bit counterintuitive. Most gas stations barely turn a profit on their core product — and when the price of oil goes up they may even take a loss on it. Battling small margins, cutthroat competition, and the looming threat of electric vehicles, many gas stations are more reliant than ever on secondary revenue streams.... The profit pipeline Gasoline begins its journey as crude oil, largely sourced on home soil in...
