When the U.S. dollar loses its monopoly on pricing the world’s critical resources, Americans’ purchasing power weakens The dollar losing monopoly power is a slow leak, not a blowout. But slow leaks still leave you flat. If the 21st century runs on anything besides oil, it runs on African rocks.

A piece of bread baked millennia ago was recently unearthed in Turkey — and now a local bakery is recreating it. Scientists recently uncovered an ancient bread recipe in Turkey, and a local bakery has successfully brought it back to life. The bread, dating back roughly 5,000 years, was discovered as a piece of charred loaf buried beneath the threshold of a house in Eskisehir, a city in central Turkey. Archaeologists found this remarkable artifact in September 2024 during an excavation at Kulluoba Hoyuk, a Bronze Age settlement that has been studied for decades. An Ancient Discovery Preserved Through Millennia...

Even as the Biden team ramps up its damage control, fresh word on the president’s compromised mental state keeps popping up. Among the worst of the latest: President Biden’s top staffers, per high-level leaks to Politico, have been keeping bad news from him during his regular briefings — lest it trigger one of his notorious rages. That is, they’re not just hiding him from the outside world — but also hiding the outside world from him. And this is presumably during the 10 a.m.-to-4 p.m. window (per aides’ leaks to Axios) when the staff figure the president is functional —...

Sure, Brandon does more in one hour than most people do in a day, but filling up a diaper really shouldn't count. He's toast. Has two brain cells to rub together and they're gettin' worn out. Took the chicom bribes and sold secrets to this country's enemies. Gropin' Joe should be behind bars right now. How much longer can the criminal survive? One broken hip can end it all. Cash prizes should be awarded. Place yer bets.

This is a good one to bookmark for future reference. I have asserted confidently that Ron DeSantis is an empty vessel who carries the thoughts and opinions of others as his own. If you follow him closely you will see key moments when this is visible, one of them happened today.In this CBS interview with Nora O’Donnell (a deep state DOS narrative engineer), notice the framework of the first question that triggers the downstream consequence of nonsense. This is what happens when narrative engineers are working on points that are based entirely around cognitive dissonance.The first question frames the subject...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump was “very, very damming.” Anchor Shannon Bream said, “What about this chief argument that comes up for the president’s allies and his legal team that this should have been handled under the Presidential Records Act, not this Espionage Act charge and other federal statutes that were used here?”

The ex-lawyer once represented Stormy Daniels against the former president. Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for defrauding his clients and for obstructing IRS efforts to collect payroll taxes from his coffee business. He was also ordered to pay $7 million in restitution. The sentence will run consecutively with his combined five-year sentence in New York for stealing from Stormy Daniels and for extorting Nike.

BYE, BYE NANCY!😂😂

John Fetterman attacks Republican voters as racist — saying "racism" has always been a “part of the Republican base.”

Managers for Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman's campaign released a memo to set the expectations for tomorrow's debate with Mehmet Oz, stating that the doctor is entering the bout with a "huge built-in advantage." Fetterman, on the other hand, will use a computer to deliver instant closed captioninng during the debate. Instead of responding directly to Oz, Fetterman will read Oz's responses on the screen and then respond This is due to the lingering effects of a stroke that Fetterman suffered in the spring. His wife, Gisele, has claimed that criticizing Fetterman for that use of closed captioning is...

Alexia Newman says she’s never seen tickets for one of her events sell so quickly. The executive director of the Carolina Pregnancy Center tells Fox News that "all the reserve seating is sold out and has been sold out for a couple of weeks and we’re still getting calls from people" regarding a May 5 dinner on behalf of the facility that’s being headlined by former Vice President Mike Pence. Newman said that as of Friday, more than 1,600 tickets had been sold, with general admission seats still being sold.

This is the sixth in a series of articles analyzing the federal grand jury indictment charging lawyer Michael Sussmann with making a materially false statement to the FBI’s General Counsel. The indictment spelled out Sussmann’s involvement in a thus-far uncharged conspiracy to create a false narrative that was calculated to demonstrate a secret channel of internet communications between the Trump Organization and the Russian Alfa-Bank. Recently Sussmann’s lawyers moved for a bill of particulars alleging that the indictment lacks sufficient detail and clarity for their client to prepare his defense. Special Counsel John Durham’s brief in opposition pointed out that...

It will be the first time wheat created using a gene editing technique known as CRISPR has been grown in fields in the UK or Europe, although it is in use in China and the US. He said acrylamide has been a very serious problem for food manufacturers since it was first discovered in 2002, shown to cause cancer in rodents, and has been considered 'probably carcinogenic' for humans. 'It occurs in bread and increases substantially when the bread is toasted, but is also present in other wheat products and many crop-derived foods that are fried, baked, roasted or toasted,...

Took many road trips with my 4 kids. I’d never heard the dead skunk growing up but we all heard it 1st together, immediately loved that ditty as we sang along in the car. So since that song got it's own thread I felt sure both this song and artist deserves a thread as well, we enjoyed most all the Heywood Banks songs. My fav song is: Toast but the kids favorite was: The Cat got Dead

He developed gasoline engines for family sedans as well as thunderous Nascar racing machines. By last year, though, the excitement was gone. His projects were no longer about advancing the engine, just nursing along existing technology. All the buzz had shifted to electric vehicles. In December, Mr. Penkevich took early retirement at age 59. “It’s been a fun ride,” said engineer Dave Lancaster, who spent 40 years working in engine development at General Motors Co. “But I think we’re coming into the homestretch for the conventional engine.” Over the past several decades, auto makers in most years rolled out between...

House Republicans could vote to remove Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney as soon as next week, sources told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday. The increasingly embattled Cheney survived a move to oust her earlier this year after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump, but a new round of anti-Trump comments, as well as her foreign and domestic policy positions, have put her further at odds with the GOP conference, Republicans told the Washington Examiner. “She’s out of sync,” a Republican leadership source told the Washington Examiner. “She’s not helping Republicans win back the House.” The vote on whether to remove...

Today, NASCAR released a picture of the garage pull-down rope and knot that both they and Bubba Wallace described as a “noose hanging over the car“. Except it clearly was not hanging over the car, and it clearly wasn’t a “noose” or it wouldn’t function to help pull the door down. Driver Bubba Wallace now calls it “a non-functioning noose.” Or, in simple terms, a garage pull-down rope with a loop-knot tied in the end. However, what NASCAR does not yet realize is the picture they have provided actually makes the situation worse; because the picture shows something else, something...
