A car was seen being driven backward on July 10 in New York City, which shocked fellow motorists on the roadway.

Need recommendations for a search engine. Got lazy and have been using Duck Duck Go, which seems to be Google in disguise. Today have been trying to find a discussion of the video from the Trump shooting that seemed to show a muzzle blast or explosion of some sort in the crowd behind Trump. I heard on the radio that it may have been an agricultural chemical under pressure that was released. On DuckDuckGo, I get page after page of pablum from CNN, NPR, PBS, Newsweak, Reuters,and other party organs that have nothing to do with my request. Can someone...

New studies, which utilized AI to monitor the effects of climate change on Earth's spin, have shown that our days are getting increasingly longer and that our planet will get more wobbly in the future. These changes could have major implications for humanity's future. The length of Earth's days and the orientation of our planet are being thrown out of balance as human-caused climate change continuously alters Earth's spin, new research suggests.

Two women were fatally shot on the Upper East Side of Manhattan Friday morning as a baby sat in the backseat of a car nearby, cops and sources said. The apparently domestic-related incident between a woman and her former daughter-in-law unfolded minutes before 9 a.m. on East 88th Street near York Avenue — just a block from Gracie Mansion, according to police and sources. One woman, the daughter-in-law, was pronounced dead at the scene while the other was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival, sources said. The mother-in-law’s grandson – a 1-year-old boy –...

Well, I'm just full of questions this week! This one should be pretty easy: Are there any brands of automotive aftermarket power steering pumps that FReepers have had good luck with? "Good luck" in this case means proper operation and no leaks for over 50k miles, preferably over 100k miles. Slight difficulties in installation, I can overcome, as I do most minor repair work on my cars myself. And I've studied vids and forums when it comes to instructions on bleeding the steering system hydraulics, things to watch out for during installation, and so on.

If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind....

Our FBI is so corrupt and rotten to the core. If this doesn’t anger and disgust you to no end, I don’t know what to tell you.

Ivana Trump’s New York City townhouse is still up for grabs as it nears two years on the market. The property was first listed for $26.5 million in November 2022, just four months after the businesswoman died at age 73 after falling down a staircase inside the home, PEOPLE previously reported.

It was listed again in June at an even lower price of $19.5 million.

Geez, is there some requirement an OP must repost / reply in under an hour? Some of us actually have lives!! And I needed to look at the computer again to get info. for replies, and it was, ya' know, not right at my fingertips. Anyway, here goes AGAIN: I've inherited a huge gaming computer from my brother.

The details were in a court document filed in support of keeping former Sangamon County Deputy Sean Grayson in custody without bond.

Cyndi Lauper’s troubled son name dropped his legendary pop-star mom and her hit single “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” when he was arrested on gun possession charges stemming from a Harlem shooting earlier this year, new court papers show. Aspiring rapper Declyn “Dex” Lauper begged police to call his mother after the discovery of a loaded gun in his fanny pack on Feb. 7 — and even tried to make sure they knew who she was by reminding officers of the singer’s trademark 1983 hit. “I grew up, my mom is Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Want to Have Fun,”...

S​ummer has a reputation for prolific rainfall totals in a short amount of time, and because of that, it's when many states have recorded their most extreme 24-hour rainfall records. Records for 24-hour rainfall in the United States range from less than 6 inches to more than 4 feet. Those amounts for each state are shown in the map below, which uses data compiled by NOAA's Centers for Environmental Information. The record for Kansas is under review by the State Climate Extremes Committee since the previously posted biggest total of 13.53 inches was found to be
