Mosquitoes are some of the most effective hunters on the planet. They can track you down at great distance by sniffing out the air you breathe. Once they find exposed skin, they use their needle-like proboscises to suck your blood. In 90 seconds, they've had their fill of blood. It's only a few microliters, but there are enough nutrients to lay a hundred eggs.

Canada is the second-largest country by land mass in the world. Canada also completes its elections in one day. Canada does not use electronic voting machines. Canada uses paper ballots, voting takes place in one day, and results are released when the polls close. Why are certain politicians so against using paper ballots (you know who they are) and want to push voting by mail allowing ballots to arrive days after the election, or using ballot-harvesting drop boxes? Simple, it's easier for them to cheat.

Have you ever wondered how you would look if you were a yellow character like the ones you see on TV?

The relationship between Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson was thrust into the national spotlight after the North Carolina Tar Heels football coach had an awkward interview on CBS. Belichick has kept his personal life out of the spotlight for most of his career. Now, the 73-year-old is dating 24-year-old Hudson and what appeared to be a sweet romance has garnered the attention of the NFL and pop culture worlds.

If your watch battery dies, you can either replace it yourself or you take it to a professional. Of course, if you have an expensive watch that costs well into the hundreds or thousands of dollars, then you shouldn't try it yourself. Have a professional jeweler who knows what he is doing take care of your Rolex, unless you bought it from a street peddler in Mexico for $30 bucks. But if it's a Timex or similar, why not enjoy learning a new skill?

The Crusade was led by two kings, Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, and involved campaigns in the Iberian peninsula and the Baltic region. However, the Crusade failed to achieve its main goal in the Levant and suffered a humiliating defeat at Damascus. The Crusade also caused tensions between the Byzantine Empire and the western Christians, and increased the confidence of the Muslim forces under Nur al-Din. The Crusade was seen as a disaster by many.

A mysterious formation lurking deep in the ocean has been spotted just a few miles off the coast of Southern California. Geographically known as Sycamore Knoll, the natural underwater structure looks like a bump pushing up from the ocean floor, with a flat, table-like top. It has been studied by scientists for years, though recent claims by conspiracy theorists have suggested Sycamore Knoll might be an underwater 'alien base.' Never say never.

Are you inspired to become your country’s keeper and recommit yourself to being an active, involved and thoughtful citizen—a Born Again American?

Nobody wants the IRS knocking on their door. While audit rates have stayed relatively low for most taxpayers in recent years (less than 1% overall), certain things still wave a big red flag saying ''look at me!'' to the IRS. Knowing these IRS audit triggers doesn't just help you sleep better at night, it can actually keep you off the audit radar altogether.

Now it can all be told. Here are 30 examples, based on reporting that emerged suddenly and conveniently after the disastrous debate with Donald Trump in 2024 had removed all doubt regarding Joe Biden's decline, of powerful Democrats expressing their private concern about the president's age and health.

REAL ID is a set of federal standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards. The REAL ID Act of 2005 established these standards. REAL ID standards help bolster security because they ensure that the documents you carry are authentic and issued under strict verification guidelines. Only REAL ID-compliant IDs or other accepted forms of identification (like passports) will be permitted for boarding commercial flights, entering certain federal facilities, and more.

Museums hold some of humanity's most cherished treasures, so it's not surprising that the most famous museums around the world host millions of visitors each year. Here are the 20 most popular museums in the world.

The Department of Education will resume collections on May 5 for federal student loans in default for the first time in five years, impacting some 5 million borrowers. Since March 2020, the department has not collected on default loans. When Congress mandated student and parent borrowers to resume student loan payments in October 2023, the previous administration granted borrowers another year to be protected. This will now change, with repayments to start in May, 2025.

An Alaskan pilot faces forfeiture of his Cessna 206 for allowing passengers to load beer onto a flight routed to a dry village in 2012. On April 18, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that the forced forfeiture of Kenneth Jouppi's plane did not violate the excessive fine clause in the U.S. Constitution. Fairbanks pilot Kenneth Jouppi's plane was confiscated when State Troopers stopped him from taking off for the dry village of Beaver, a community of less than 100 people, and a search revealed alcohol on board.

Democrat leaders are intensifying pressure against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, with Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) now urging an “uprising” in the streets. Wilson made the call during a press conference after touring the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Krome Detention Center, where criminal illegal aliens are held pending deportation.

The Army has suspended a Wisconsin training base's first female commander after discovering portraits of President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had been flipped around to face a wall. The Army has posted an undated statement on Fort McCoy's website saying Col. Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended as the base's garrison commander.

What is better than taking in sweeping views of untouched mountains, canyons, deserts and forests? Doing it all with a senior discount. For just $20 a year, the National Park Service offers seniors access to national parks across the country. Each park has something unique to offer, from stargazing to world-class fishing. Many of the national parks feature senior-friendly accommodations, like accessible shuttles, paths for those with limited mobility, and guided tours for the hard of hearing.

War designed to fit a theory, as the Bush administration learned, can falter when key assumptions don’t pan out. After months of selling its case, the Administration gave the impression it had devised a Teflon war: quick, easy, relatively bloodless. War boosters predicted that Iraq’s leadership would snap, Iraqi forces would surrender, Iraqi citizens would welcome American soldiers with open arms.

Honor your loved one's legacy with a QR medallion. Create a virtual memorial by adding photos, videos and precious memories. Upload a clip of their voice to speak to visitors, who can leave a tribute or share a story.

Politicians found to be the most corrupt of all time, here are the top ten. One of the people you won't find here is Richard Nixon. Despite his well known transgressions, Nixon didn't line his own pockets. Defining political corruption as the use of power for personal gain, this list includes only those public servants who used their office for financial profit.

A 'flame in the sky,' eerie red glowing objects and swarms of UFOs over military bases are just some of the many sightings that have gravely concerned the US government. There are dozens of unsolved cases going back to the 1960s that occurred over nuclear missile installations, Navy ships and a desert in New Mexico. Now, as the current administration weighs declassifying many of these UFO-related incidents, there could soon be new information about some of the key close encounters.

The last time the periodical cicadas known as Brood XIV emerged, Netflix was still sending DVDs through the mail, people were buying ringtones for their Blackberries, and Barack Obama was about to be elected president of the United States. Seventeen years later, the world is a very different place. But for periodical cicadas, which spend more than a decade underground as nymphs before emerging in one giant wave as winged adults, it's business as usual.

Mobile home investing is a little-known sector of the housing market that happens to be recession-proof, meeting a nearly bottomless demand, and earning some of the best returns in the housing industry.

From its very beginning, radio signals have crossed borders. Radio makers and listeners have imagined both connecting with distant cultures, as well as re-connecting with people from ‘home’ from thousands of miles away.

As homelessness soars to the highest level on record, parking lots like this one have opened from coast to coast, offering a refuge to those who no longer have a house to sleep in, but still have a car.

Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage. Moriarty will seek ''diversion'' rather than criminal charges, whatever the Hell that means. Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, was caught on camera keying a Tesla while walking his dog. George Soros contributed over $500,000 to Moriarty's political campaign.

Federal student loan collections—including wage garnishment—will resume within weeks, the Education Department confirmed on April 21, ending a five-year freeze and setting the stage for millions of defaulted borrowers to face renewed enforcement.

Long before television, in the 1930's and 1940's almost every household had a radio. Families often spent evenings huddled around the radio listening to a favorite show, seeing the action in their mind's eye, and using their imagination. Ask your parents or grandparents what their favorite shows were, comedians like Bob Hope, or mysteries like ''The Shadow Knows'', or heroic ''Superman'' or comedies such as ''Fibber Magee and Molly'', ''Amos and Andy'', or events like the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Private schools are not burdened by the layers and layers and layers of bureaucratic balderdash from the state. They don't have five assistant principals. Usually one principal and she'll wonder why your uniform shirt isn't tucked in. They can operate streamlined, thus more efficiently and at less cost. A bulletproof argument can be made that private schools save the state money. But, Minnesota Republicans know the real reason it was so easy to cut funding.

The Last Supper is Leonardo's visual interpretation of an event chronicled in all four Gospels. The evening before Christ was betrayed by one of his disciples, they all gathered together to eat, Jesus told them he knew what was coming and washed their feet (a gesture they were equal). As they ate and drank together, Christ gave the disciples instructions on how to eat and drink in the future in remembrance of him. It was the first celebration of the Eucharist, a ritual still performed.

We have a natural tendency to dwell on the past. After all, our experiences and decisions—including the good and the not-so-pretty—ultimately help inform who we are today and can have a lasting impact on our world. As important as past experiences are, though, they don’t have to define us or hold us back in our present lives or our future.

Tom Mix was king of Westerns years before John Wayne, Gene Autry or Roy Rogers. His ubiquity as a Western star in the early decades of cinema helped cement the genre, while also establishing the image of the archetypal American cowboy. In time, the visual of the actor in his outsize white cowboy hat became synonymous with Westerns.

The death of a sitting or former pope marks the beginning of a mourning period that follows strict rules of protocol. Most of the activities during this period are ceremonial and highly symbolic. Here’s everything you need to know about what happens when the Pope dies.

Critics of Christianity like to suggest that a crucified victim like Jesus never would have received a proper burial. They point to cases where the Romans left victims on the cross for days while birds ate away at their flesh to serve as a reminder to everyone who walked by not mess with Rome. What's more, the Romans usually tossed the remains into a common grave. The theory goes, in no case would Rome give permission for a crucified victim to receive a proper burial.

The first Battle of the Revolutionary War was fought on April 19th, 1775 at Lexington and Concord in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. British troops led by Lt. Col. Francis Smith were confronted by anuntrained militia commanded by Capt. John Parker.

Conspiracy theories thrive on cryptic symbols and covert visual signs. The ‘Eye of Providence’ – an eye set within a triangle – is one such symbol, associated with Freemasonry but also linked with the apocryphal Illuminati, a secret group of elite individuals allegedly seeking to control global affairs.

Pope Francis, who rose from modest means in Argentina to become the first Jesuit and Latin American pontiff, who clashed bitterly with traditionalists in his push for a more inclusive Roman Catholic Church, and who spoke out tirelessly for migrants, the marginalized and the health of the planet, died on Monday at the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta. He was 88.

Zillow will ban scores of homes on its well-trafficked website. The surprise announcement took direct aim at exclusive inventory, also known as secret or hidden home listings. A growing number of agents have been hoarding listings by advertising them on their own websites before sharing the homes widely across the internet. Zillow said it would permanently ban from its site any of these listings. If you're going to market a home somewhere, the company argued, you have to market it everywhere.

While ''Crowds on Demand'' was initially geared toward corporate events and PR stunts, soon after the company's founding, would-be elected officials began reaching out for his services in order to give their political campaigns a boost. Some have used his services to protest opposing candidates, others have used them to create the appearance of larger turnouts at their own events.

Bernard Marantelli had a plan in mind. He and his partners would buy nearly every possible number in a coming drawing. There were 25.8 million potential number combinations. The tickets were $1 apiece. The jackpot was heading to $95 million. If nobody else also picked the winning numbers, the profit would be nearly $60 million.

Air Force security forces are authorized to use deadly force on an intruder, as every sign outside of a base installation says. They don’t, however, have to use deadly force. In fact, before they start shooting at you, you have to demonstrate three things: intent, opportunity, and capability of either using deadly force yourself, causing bodily harm, or damaging or destroying resources.

When U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Central America in February on his first official trip abroad, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele made him an unusual offer: El Salvador would receive and detain people deported from the United States, as well as U.S. citizens convicted of crimes. Rubio described Bukele's proposal as an ''extraordinary gesture never before extended by any country'' and said on X that it would make the United States safer.

Charles Joughin was an acclaimed chef. He was the head baker on the RMS Titanic. But that is not why he is remembered. Instead, Joughin is best known for his remarkable survival in the face of imminent death. Historians and scientists attribute his survival to one thing: the sheer amount of alcohol he consumed that night.

Governor Tim Walz and friends. On the 1300 block of North Eustis Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, a ten-minute drive from the Governor’s Mansion, sits a brutalist brick building that houses a secret Chinese Communist Party (CCP) front operation that serves several functions for the CCP — none of them good for the United States.

Every Christian knows the tale: Jesus Christ died and rose again for the forgiveness of mankind's sins, promising those who believe in him eternal life. Christians typically celebrate Jesus' resurrection each spring on Easter Sunday.But Good Friday, which is observed near the end of Lent and falls just 2 days before Easter, doesn't get the same attention: Only 12 states consider Good Friday an official holiday, and many people don't know why they observe it to begin with. So what is Good Friday?

In the years leading up to World War II, the U.S. army began planning for wars with a variety of countries, designating each plan by a different color. The plan has been around since first half of the 20th century. And don’t be fooled by Canada’s peaceful attitude. It has its own plans for an invasion to the south. One it drafted years before the U.S. ever thought about what all-out war with the Canucks would entail.

Ever since the R.M.S. Titanic slipped below the icy waters of the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912, the disaster has attracted public interest. After the ship hit an iceberg, roughly 1,500 of the ship's 2,200 passengers and crew perished. The discovery of the Titanic wreck in 1985 has led to its own dramas about the conservation of historical disaster sites. National Geographic tells how it has all unfolded.

In his 2023 book 'Nuff Said', Tyrus wrote that he keeps his life with his kids private, but he still believes in sharing his parenting values, the first of which is respect. ''Parenting is tough. We all know that. I always work hard to be the best dad I can be, but, of course, I fail sometimes,'' he wrote. ''We all do. But we try as hard as we can.''

From the article: ''Throughout history, religious movements have often begun as challenges to established systems before eventually becoming institutions themselves. The research team sees today’s shift as part of that recurring pattern: people rejecting what they view as rigid, politicized religious structures while seeking more authentic forms of spiritual connection.''

A U.S. Federal Judge sided with a Trump administration on a rule requiring Canadians to register ahead of U.S. trips longer than 30 days. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Canadians to change vacation plans and stay in Canada, worrying some in the U.S. travel industry, which draws in more than $1 trillion in direct spending a year. According to a White House spokesman, Canadians will no longer have to endure this inconvenience when Canada becomes our 51st State. Imagine saying that.

CNN is a Democratic Party supportive organization. Unlike any President in history, Donald J. Trump is taking command. Unlike any President in history, Donald J. Trump is taking command. To quote Chester W. Nimitz, World War II Chief of our US Pacific Fleet, ''When you are in command, command''.

Life aboard the Titanic was wonderful. Until it wasn't.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele told U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House that an illegal alien deported back to his home country of El Salvador will not be returned to the United States. ''You're suggesting I smuggle a terrorist into the United States,'' Bukele told reporters during the Oval Office meeting. 'I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous.''

The U.S. announced it removed the commander of the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland because of a loss of confidence in her ability to lead, after Vice President JD Vance's controversial visit to the semi autonomous island. ''Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense'', Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said, announcing the removal of Colonel Susannah Meyers.

''I did the last Playhouse 90,'' Redford wistfully recalls. ''That was probably the greatest show on television, in terms of drama anthology. To me, that was probably one of the highlights of my career, that I got my start doing the last Playhouse 90, the last Rod Serling script.''

A sightseeing helicopter plunged into the Hudson River on Thursday, turning a family outing above Manhattan's misty skyline into a tragedy. The helicopter carried six people, including three children and their parents. It lifted off from a Manhattan heliport and followed a familiar route: circling the Statue of Liberty, gliding north along the Hudson toward the George Washington Bridge and then turning south. About 16 minutes after takeoff, the aircraft crashed into the water.

Jinn (often al-jinn or djinn) are shape-shifting spirits made of fire and air with origins in pre-Islamic Arabia. They are the inspiration for Aladdin's genie, and have held space in Arab culture for almost as long as Arab culture itself. And yet, having transcended both religion and the physical world, so little is understood about the spirits. Jinn can be good or evil, whereas in Christianity, Demons are associated with the Devil and always shown as evil.

It started in July of 1518. A woman named Frau Troffea walked into the cobblestone street and began dancing vigorously. Her neighbors in Strasbourg, Alsace (modern-day France) watched, likely amused at first, until her dancing continued past the point of comfort. She refused to stop. Then, others joined her, while thousands watched. Local authorities tried to stop it. But the mania refused to subside, and people eventually dropped from exhaustion or died from overexertion.

Shocking documents declassified by the CIA have revealed a secret mission to find Nazi leader Adolf Hitler - 10 years after he supposedly died. According to multiple reports from the CIA archives, agents in South America were convinced the dictator was still alive in the 1950s and changed his name to remain under cover.

In the 1960s, the US developed a project to deter the Soviet Union from launching a preemptive strike. A patrol of B-52 bombers would fly, primed to attack Moscow at a moment's notice. But to stay airborne on these flights, the planes needed to refuel. On 17 January 1966, attempted an air-to-air refueling with a tanker plane. They got too close and collided. The B-52 broke apart and fell to earth, raining down its lethal thermonuclear cargo onto the Spanish village of Palomares.

Jay North rose to fame as a child, playing Dennis Mitchell in the ''Dennis the Menace'' sitcom that ran from 1959 to 1963. The actor went on to star in the movies Zebra in the Kitchen and Maya. He reprised his role in a television series based on the latter. The Dennis character was based on the newspaper comic strip created by Hank Ketcham in 1951 and is still published in at least 1,000 papers in 48 countries and in 19 languages.

Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota established in 1975. It is located near the city of International Falls. The park's name commemorates the Voyageurs, French-Canadian fur traders who were the first to frequently travel through the area. Notable for its outstanding water resources, the park is popular with canoeists, kayakers, and fishermen. Many years ago, I guided fishermen on the main body of water, Rainy Lake, 1600 islands, 40 miles by 40 miles, half in the United States, half in Canada.

''The Great Gatsby'' landed on store shelves in 1925. After receiving mixed reviews from literary critics, the book sold poorly. ''Fitzgerald died in 1940 believing it was a flop'', said Maureen Corrigan, book critic for NPR. ''He really did think it was a failure,'' Corrigan said. ''The torture was he knew he had written a great book, and he wanted people to read it. I do think it broke his heart that it wasn't received as anything special by a lot of people.''

Far-right media figure Laura Loomer has long been a bomb-thrower in conservative media circles. Now she has the ear of President Donald Trump, who repeated a conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats in Ohio during his first debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, which was widely mocked online. She also has a history of pushing that 9/11 was an ''inside job'' (maybe she was right) and has peddled racist comments about Harris' Indian heritage.

On Friday, October 7th, 2022, on the cusp of a 3-day weekend, President Biden signed an Executive Order lifting restrictions on how the government spies on US citizens. The move garnered little media attention or controversy – just as the White House had hoped. Who made this decision? Was it Obama? We now know this would have been beyond Joe's ability.

When searching for urban hotels, ''includes garden'' is not one of the typical search attributes. After all, when that city happens to be Tokyo, by many accounts the world's most populous metropolitan area, a hotel with a garden seems impossible to find. However, you'll be pleased to know there are a number of hotels that come with their own green spaces, some of which date back hundreds of years.

Experience dealing with a range of situations themselves, their abundant wisdom, and their ability to give a wider perspective were some of the reasons retirees were seen as a great source of guidance for young people. The phone line hours are 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and can be dialed at 1-800-488-0604.

Few things are as satisfying as a supermarket rotisserie chicken. When done right, the birds are perfectly cooked and seasoned, the skin is crispy, and they're ready to take home and serve. However, if there's one star of the pack, it's Costco's rotisserie chicken, which costs just $4.99 and is bigger than many birds you'll find at other grocery stores.

In 1988, after two terms in office, Ronald Reagan left the White House one of the most popular presidents of the twentieth century -- and one of the most controversial. A failed actor, Reagan became a passionate ideologue who preached a simple gospel of lower taxes, less government, and anti-communism. One by one, his opponents underestimated him; one by one, Reagan surprised them, rising to become a president who always preferred to see America as a ''shining city on a hill.''

A battery recycling company that the Biden administration urged to apply for a $375 million green energy loan in November warned investors that it is probably going out of business. The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office finalized the loan for Li-Cycle just two days after VP Kamala Harris lost the November election. It was part of a flurry of last-minute loan approvals totaling over $20 billion issued by the Biden loan office in the final weeks of the administration.

Two leading officials of the federal government, the press secretary and the surgeon general, have revealed the Biden administration's plan to coordinate with social media platforms to censor dissident voices that disagree with the official position on COVID-19 and the efficacy of vaccines. This raises First Amendment concerns of the highest order.

A film legend was memorialized as the nation's men announced plans to honor Val Kilmer by quoting Tombstone all day long, just like they always do. With the news of Kilmer's death, American men collectively banded together to pay tribute to the late performer by doing the same thing they do every other day - communicating almost exclusively through Tombstone quotes. The nation's wives issued a collective press release asking their husbands to stop responding to every question with ''Say when.''

The now infamous binder contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. It contains damaging information about the corrupt actors involved in our government. Sources say the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago was explicitly aimed at recovering a missing top-secret binder. This document was rumored to contain damning evidence of former President Barack Obama's CIA and FBI involvement in initiating the Russia collusion narrative against President Trump.

Certain medical conditions can put people at higher risk for developing pneumonia, such as COPD, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Those with weakened immune systems due to HIV/AIDS, organ transplants, chemotherapy or long-term steroid use may also face a higher risk of developing pneumonia.

She advises some of the most prominent companies in the ag sector on the humane treatment of livestock, designing handling facilities that improve animal welfare and productivity.

Dr. Grandin's book and movie are available on Amazon

Social media users are stunned after discovering the high price of a single chicken drumstick at KFC, one of many restaurant chains that have noticeably hiked its menu prices. Another factor that plays a part in the rising prices include high labor costs, but KFC has definitely lost its reign of being the biggest chicken chain in the nation, closing 25 restaurants in the U.S. in 2024.

Envoy Air has dedicated an aircraft to the Gary Sinise Foundation. The dedication honors the organization's work supporting service members, first responders, and their families. The Embraer E175 features custom-made decals, interior signage, winglet designs, and a unique registration number, N316GS. Representatives from American and Envoy presented the surprise dedication to actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise earlier this year, ahead of a Lt. Dan Band flight departing from Los Angeles.

Trump’s senior adviser Elon Musk, who is from South Africa, posted on X last week that the song has been ‘actively promoting white genocide.’

Governor Tim Walz cheered on the Minnesota Twins at their opening game versus the St. Louis Cardinals, and predicted his team would go undefeated. The Twins lost that game and the next two as the Cardinals swept the three-game series. The humiliation continued, when the Twins were blown out (9-0) by the Chicago White Sox, a team that set a new record last year for most losses in a season. The Twins are now 0-4 since Walz cursed them with his presence.

It isn't the alligators and snakes you need to worry about the most, it is the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have killed more humans world-wide than any other creature. Dengue, also known as ''bone break fever,'' causes a variety of symptoms including fever, muscle and joint pain, nausea, and eye pain. Florida Mosquito Control teams are calling on residents to help lessen the chance of spreading dengue by tossing out basins of still water on their property, eliminating possible mosquito breeding grounds.

Norway is a land with many bunkers. At the peak of the Cold War, the sparsely populated, mountainous country had around 3,000 underground facilities where its armed forces and allies could hide and make life difficult for any invader. Dating back to when the Scandinavian country was part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall during World War Two and even earlier, their existence was barely known to the Norwegian public.

In 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in the April 1st edition of USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a ''Left-Handed Whopper'' specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers.

The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. At some point, judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the rules to fit their desires. They believe they possess more power than the president, and it's time for conservatives to confront them as the tyrants they have become.

If you're considering camping here, remember, God created clothes to keep other people from getting sick. These aren't movie stars we're talking about.

There’s a scientific explanation for why folks let it rip when they’re high in the sky, but it doesn’t make it any less aggravating.

Why, precisely, is a judge in Washington allowed to decide what illegal immigrants with alleged gang affiliations, who were being detained in Texas, are entitled to before they're deported from the country they've unlawfully entered? That's what Alexander Hamilton might like to know.

President Donald Trump’s top intelligence and defense agencies discussed plans to bomb Houthi rebel targets in Yemen – they’d been disrupting shipping traffic in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden – on an unclassified Signal chat that included the editor of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. The White House wants to downplay the event. They can’t. They were talking about dropping bombs on specific targets at specific times.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, railroads revolutionized transportation in North America, permanently accelerating the pace of travel across the continent. Today, many of those railroad tracks host an assortment of historic excursion trains, inviting riders to slow down and enjoy a grand day out.

96 years ago, German archaeologist Günther Roeder unearthed the lower half of what would've been a massive, 23-foot-tall statue of Ramesses II, one of the most celebrated pharaohs throughout all 31 dynasties of Ancient Egyptian history. Roeder found the statue 150 miles south of Cairo in the Minya Governorate, near the modern-day city of El Ashmunein. In March 2024, the Egyptian archaeologists, in partnership with U.S. experts, announced that they'd finally found the missing upper half of Roeder's statute.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Hillary of all people is criticizing President Trump and his team for not protecting classified information. This from the woman who kept how many emails we'll never know, on a unsecured server in her downstairs bathroom. Word is, it didn't take the Russians long to check them out.

Walz town hall series comes as the national Democratic Party launched an initiative called ''People's Town Halls,'' promoted as open and inclusive forums for constituents to have their voices heard, even in Republican-held districts. But the Walz events seem more like a ''secret society'' designed to shut out dissenting viewpoints.

There are some among you who think judges should be given even more power. A federal court decided that police officers can make you unlock your phone, even by physically forcing you to press your thumb against it.

Upon release in 1950, ''Breakthrough'' was hailed for its detail and dedication to its military roots. Audiences praised its authentic battle scenes and heart-pounding thrills. The film's overwhelming presence and theatrical spectacle captivated audiences, and there's a surprisingly simple trick behind the on-screen wizardry. Breakthrough used readily available newsreel footage.

Big-box retailers like Walmart, Target, and Kroger have explored ways to deter shoplifting in stores. That's much to the consternation of customers who simply want to choose their groceries off the shelf and acquire them honestly. It's not just for high-dollar items either, sure, the gaming consoles are behind locked doors, but so are canned meat products like corned beef hash and Spam.

The outdated USB chargers clogging store shelves and online listings won’t charge your latest gear as fast as possible. New fast chargers are safe, affordable, and up to three times faster than the old ones many people have had lying around for years.

Richard ''Dick'' Carlson, an award-winning journalist, political lobbyist and diplomat whose colorful - and often personally tragic - life took him from a Boston orphanage to the highest levels of media, business and American political power, has died.

On ''Special Report with Bret Baier,'' the Fox News host sat with Musk and his DOGE team and asked the billionaire what has been the most ''astonishing thing'' he's witnessed so far in this process. The answer just about knocked Baier out of his chair.

A series of violent attacks on Tesla locations and vehicles is spreading across the U.S. and internationally, with firebombings, gunfire, and vandalism reported at multiple dealerships and charging stations. The rise in incidents has coincided with Elon Musk's deepening ties to President Donald Trump, sparking concerns that Tesla has become a political flashpoint.

George Soros, a Hungarian-American billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist. Born György Schwartz on August 12, 1930, Soros has amassed significant wealth over the years. His net worth stood at a staggering $6.7 billion. What sets Soros apart is his remarkable generosity, he's donated over $32 billion to the Open Society Foundations, with $15 billion already distributed.

Early in 1973, Mel Brooks called up his close friend Richard Pryor and asked about the ''n'' word. Brooks was working on a parody of the Cowboys and Indians genre, in which a black sheriff is assigned to a one-horse town in the Old West. By way of skewering the grotesque and historically accurate racism of the townsfolk, Brooks wanted to make conspicuous use of the worst racial slur of all.

A senior Trump administration official confirmed that a total of 261 illegal aliens were deported to El Salvador on March 15, 2025. The majority of them were deported via the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which allows for the expulsion of an enemy nation's natives and citizens without a hearing.

The official emblem of the State of Israel, the Menorah is a key Jewish emblem. The Torah relates how God Himself gave Moses instructions for building this holy seven-branched candelabra on Mount Sinai: ''You shall make a menorah of pure gold…'' (Exodus 25: 31-40)

Minnesota governor Tim Walz apologized after it came out that the Minnesota State Board of Investment's pension fund owned around 1.8 million shares of Tesla stock. This stake is equivalent to around $400 million and a direct link to the financial security of his constituents.

The history of this flag is intertwined with the complex history of the land itself. The evolution of the flag reflects the changing political landscape and the impact of colonialism on this kingdom. A brief history, for a better understanding of the changes of this flag, which were always reflecting not just the political circumstances, but the future aspirations of the land and people as well.

From the article: ''The story of our great governor of Texas is one of unwavering resilience and perseverance. Meanwhile, the actions of Jasmine Crockett – stooping to vile levels of discrimination and despicable political attacks – are nothing short of reprehensible.''

Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as ''Sleepy Joe'', appears destined to live out his final days as one of the most widely reviled figures in American politics. According to a recent Gallup survey, just 39 percent of Americans said they had a favorable opinion of Biden, compared with 57 percent who said they had an unfavorable opinion. He is the least popular living former president by a considerable margin, perhaps the worst in history.

It must have seemed, at the time, a fairly simple deal. In 2023, Libbie Mugrabi, a Manhattan socialite, wanted to take out a $3 million loan, needing the money to buy a home in the south of France. Ms. Mugrabi may have seemed cash poor, but she was art rich.

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something wholly unexpected.

Last year, African giant pouched rats like Carolina prevented nearly 400,000 new cases of tuberculosis. It's possible because of their extreme sense of smell.

According to legend, some warriors went to the Sky World, the spiritual realm beyond the clouds, and found that a lacrosse game was going on, much to the delight of the spirits on that other side. Because the game was a way for the men to work out their aggression without violence, it became the Creator's favorite game. When those warriors returned from the Sky World and had learned to give up killing, they introduced the game of lacrosse and we have been playing it ever since.

Picture balsamic vinegar, and a tasty salad dressing or a dipping platter for bread likely comes to mind. However, the ingredient also packs a surprising punch in another culinary application: marinating. It turns out that the classic combo of olive oil and balsamic not only transforms a salad, but a raw piece of beef, too. The vinegar lends its complex, tangy and sweet flavor to the beef, while simultaneously working to soften the meat tissue for a more tender bite.

The ''man cave'' is a sanctuary where men can escape the pressures of daily life and indulge in their passions. Also known as a ''manspace,''''mantuary,'' or ''man nest,'' this concept, once relegated to the dusty corners of basements and garages, has evolved into a significant aspect of modern homes.

March 21, 1965, marked the beginning of the historic Selma to Montgomery march, a pivotal event in the American Civil Rights Movement. Led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the march aimed to highlight the struggle for African American voting rights in the South. The marchers faced significant opposition, but their determination and courage drew national attention to the injustices they were fighting against.

Social media erupted when it was learned that President Biden would award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Two Wisconsin parents have filed a civil rights complaint after they claimed their daughters were forced to share a locker room with a biological male transgender student and faced academic penalties for attempting to avoid undressing in front of the student. It makes one wonder who needs psychiatric help more, the boy who thinks he's a girl, his parents, the teachers, or the entire school board. Perhaps a giant group session is necessary.

When the African American author was growing up in Huntsville, she used to take car trips to her birth home of Kansas. Most of the time, she couldn't use the restrooms in the gas stations along the way. The signs were clear: ''Whites only'' or ''No Colored.''

My good friend Ron Braseth, retired president of the Goose River Bank in Mayville, North Dakota. Ron introduced me to Corvettes. A great human being who will be missed.

Outlaw Jesse James was one of the most notorious bandits of the late 19th century. Alongside his older brother and various other gang members, Jesse James led the James-Younger gang in a series of bank and train robberies. An interesting man, the subject of several books and movies.

The Pentagon plans to reduce its civilian workforce by 5% to 8%, equating to approximately 50,000 to 60,000 positions. This initiative aligns with broader federal efforts to streamline government operations and enhance efficiency.

Conventional chicken is often soaked in chemical baths, including chlorine solutions, to reduce bacterial contamination, a practice banned in the European Union since 1997. Chlorine-washed chicken may absorb chemical residues through its porous muscle tissue, which raises safety concerns.

Yogurt was born as a means of preserving fresh milk, thousands of years before refrigerators were invented. But forget stashing a tub in your backpack or on the counter. The United States Department of Health and Human Services suggests throwing it out after two hours, the same deadline it gives fresh milk and other perishables. Why? And what are the true risks?

From please and thank you to knowing which fork to use at a dinner party, manners are important. But back when etiquette reigned supreme, there were more than a few dos and don'ts that now seem utterly insane. From women wearing their hair to the right way to how to behave at a wedding, here is the weirdest etiquette advice from the past 100 years.

For more than a century, scientists and engineers have pondered a very different method for transmitting energy without wires. It's called power beaming, and for decades inventors, scientists, and engineers have been in a kind of technological dress rehearsal to make it happen. They've been tinkering with ways to use microwaves, radio waves, and even lasers to send energy from one place to another.

AI’s role in warfare is not just about who has the best autonomous weapons—it’s also about who can use AI to make decisions faster than their adversary.

It should be your most stylish decade of life. Here’s an insider’s guide to the clothes you need (and don’t need), how they should fit, and when to wear them. These people are crazy.

Paddy Hemingway, one of a number known as ‘the Few’ and revered figures in British aviation history, played a crucial role in defending the United Kingdom against Nazi oppression during the summer of 1940. His courage in the face of overwhelming odds demonstrated his sense of duty and the importance of British resilience.

On August 15, 1940 the crisis of the battle of Britain was reached. All the resources of Fighter Command in the South were used. The most difficult and dangerous period of the Battle of Britain was between August 24 and September 6, when the German attack was directed against the R.A.F airfields in the South of England with considerable success. In this speech Churchill coined the phrase ''The Few'' to describe the R.A.F fighter-pilots. The phrase stuck.

A Gallup report found that about 60% of people reported feeling emotionally detached at work, 50% are stressed, and 19% said they are outright miserable. The sentiment is incredibly relatable for many, but likely even more so for the poor souls who live under these signs at work.

DOGE said it identified that the Small Business Administration (SBA) granted nearly 5,600 loans for $312 million to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan. The loans were issued in 2020 and 2021 – while the world struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic – and it is unclear what they were used for.

In 2020, Gov. Tim Walz issued Minnesota's initial COVID-19 shelter in place order, telling Minnesotans to stay at home for two weeks. This followed Walz's initial school closure issued on March 15th, the closure of dine-in service at restaurants on March 16, and Minnesota's first known COVID-19 related death on March 19th. Placing COVID patients in nursing homes resulted in 80% of the deaths coming from that decision.

First things first, it isn't actually called the Rose Line. That's just what Dan Brown called it in the Da Vinci Code, presumably because the ''Arago Meridian Line'' sounds a bit boring. The line was once France's prime meridian, a line of longitude right through the center of Paris, and essentially a semi-circle around the world from north to south. It is from these lines that distance and time can be measured.

Liberals are doing everything they can to separate Hillary Clinton's sale of 40% of America's reserves of uranium to Russia in return for a multi-million dollar contribution from Russia to her ''charity'' when she was Secretary of State, but now we suddenly realize we are running short of uranium. Fire up old sparky, if that wasn't treason, I don't know what is.

Author Dan Brown's 2003 novel ''The Da Vinci Code'' was a publishing phenomenon unlike any other at the time of its release. Despite garnering criticism for its Christianity-themed conspiracy mythology, the book became a chart-topping bestseller all over the world. Naturally, Hollywood soon came calling for the book's adaptation rights.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa has long been the subject of speculation regarding both the lady's identity and the meaning of her enigmatic smile. Dan Brown plays on this mystery in The Da Vinci Code, where the main characters point out symbols of the sacred feminine in the portrait.

While serving as the 3rd president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson discovered a piece of technology that he could simply not live without, it was the polygraph, a machine that made direct copies of handwritten letters. Jefferson purchased two: one for the White House, one for Monticello.

When George Lucas developed the storyline for Star Wars and crafted his heroes and villains, he tapped into elements of theology, mysticism and mythology as well as his knowledge of classic films. And befitting a story set a ''long time ago'', real-life history also played a central role in shaping the filmmaker's space opera.

Scientists now know how to drill deep enough to tap into an energy supply that would power the world for more than 20 million years if we capture just 0.1 percent of it.

A new documentary film called 'Age of Disclosure' is getting a lot of attention because it is making the claim that UFOs are real and that aliens are on planet Earth, living among us. The thing that sets this film apart from others that have made similar claims is that it's full of former and current DC insiders.

The Trump administration is finalizing a new ban on travel to the United States for citizens of certain countries that would be broader than the versions President Trump issued in his first term.

I'm pretty sure the person who invented this frosting device didn't anticipate it would be used to make deviled eggs, but those who love them figured it out quickly. Years ago, when I was ''somebody'', as I tell my kids, I was in the banking business for 35 years, president of a couple of them, and I attended a lot of events with hors d'oeuvres and liquid refreshments. I headed straight for the deviled eggs. Then to the free bar.

The ancient Romans were ahead of the game on a lot of things, and luckily they passed most of those things down to us: indoor plumbing, the calendar, and bureaucracy, to name a few. There was one thing, however, that they kept to themselves, and it may have been the world's most effective contraception: a North African herb known as silphium.

The space agency spent heavily on equity, gender affirmation, while contract mishaps and procurement nightmares piled up. Embedding DEI into every agency, even NASA, was a mission of the Biden Administration, and one which the new Trump Administration has vowed to reverse.

This is an advertisement disguised as a news article, but it did make me think about how much I am paying for auto insurance, and is there a better rate out there. No, there's no commission in this for me, I just found the ''ad'' interesting and thought I'd pass it along.

Mark your calendars, skywatchers! On March 13-14, 2025, the night sky will display its first total lunar eclipse in nearly two and a half years. This celestial event will be visible across North and South America. It will offer a stunning spectacle for anyone lucky enough to have clear weather.

China is about to start constructing a pioneering research facility that will be anchored 6,561 feet, or 1.2 miles, beneath the South China Sea to study the ecosystem and plate tectonics surrounding the ice-like methane deposits. The station will serve multiple functions, as a base for exploring a novel energy source, discovering new sea life, and exploiting mineral wealth.

Resistance to DOGE is coming from many quarters. Loopy Democrats like Maxine Waters, who is vowing to fight! (what exactly?); ambitious radicals like Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is irate that her pet project, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, may be gutted. It is ironic that Warren is howling about Musk being ''unaccountable'' when her main achievement in the Senate was the creation of a bureau that answers to no one.

Joe Biden was doing what Joe did best, taking a vacation, when someone used the Autopen to sign pardons for Biden family members, Dr. Fauci, and General Milley. Turns out, almost everything Joe 'signed' in his four years in the White House was done that way, with some evidence he may have not known about many of them.

It's a medieval town in its earliest origins, harking from the 13th century, and still features rustic, traditional thatched roofs. But the feature the town is most famous for is actually its maze of some 176 tranquil canals that run along the rows of old houses, with trees lining, lawns abutting, and pedestrian bridges striding over the waterways.

Frontotemporal dementia affects the parts of the brain that control social skills, decision-making, and judgment. It tends to affect people between the ages of 45 and 60.

On January 29, 2025 American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a U.S. Army helicopter near Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people, in the deadliest U.S. air disaster in recent history. That alone would have been a crisis for the Federal Aviation Administration, the agency charged with ensuring the safety of air passengers. But the next day, President Donald Trump deepened the FAA's problems by blaming the disaster on diversity programs.

SSSS: It's the four-letter acronym printed on a boarding pass that gives any airline passenger a pit in their stomach. Secondary Security Screening Selection, or ''The Quad S,'' as some call it, means you have been selected for additional enhanced security screening by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security. But just what does this designation mean, how burdensome is it, and how can you best prepare for this additional step in airport security?

We live in a happiness-obsessed world. Self-help gurus promise paths to bliss, Instagram influencers peddle happiness as a lifestyle, and corporations build marketing campaigns around the pursuit of positive emotions. But new research suggests a surprising twist: trying too hard to be happy might actually be making us miserable.

Coda: conclusion ending finale. Officials said the couple died of natural causes, he of heart disease and she of a rare viral infection. But it was Ms. Arakawa - the caregiver, lover, protector - who died first, perhaps on Feb. 11, leaving Mr. Hackman, 95 years old with advanced Alzheimer's, alone in the house for days. He is believed to have died a week later, on Feb. 18, 2025.

Mount Rushmore, located just north of what is now Custer State Park in the Black Hills National Forest, was named for the New York lawyer Charles E. Rushmore, who traveled to the Black Hills in 1885 to inspect mining claims in the region. When Rushmore asked a local man the name of a nearby mountain, he reportedly replied that it never had a name before, but from now on would be known as Rushmore Peak.

Once again, most Americans will set their clocks forward by one hour this weekend, losing perhaps a bit of sleep but gaining more glorious sunlight in the evenings as the days warm into summer. Where did this all come from, though?

This is getting confusing. I think they forgot a few, like ''unhoused individuals'' for homeless people, or ''vertically challenged'' for short folks. But, I imagine the list will grow rapidly as government employees try to send out a letter or document and it will take a week to get it done and approved by the word checkers.

CliffsNotes are a series of student study guides. The guides present and create literary and other works in pamphlet form or online. Detractors of the study guides claim they let students bypass reading the assigned literature. The company claims to promote the reading of the original work and does not view the study guides as a substitute for that reading. Right.

Her entrance into the race was under the most pathetic circumstances imaginable. Harris was thrust into the role of presumed Democratic nominee to succeed the fast-fading Biden only days after insisting, as she had for months, that the President was cognitively capable of running for a second term as leader of the free world.

Newgrange is a Stone Age (Neolithic) monument in the Boyne Valley, County Meath, it is the jewel in the crown of Ireland's Ancient East. Newgrange was constructed about 5,200 years ago (3,200 B.C.) which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza. The mound is ringed by 97 large kerbstones, some of which are engraved with symbols called megalithic art; the most striking is the entrance stone.

Elon Musk, who donated $288 million to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, told Fox News' Sean Hannity that working with him to bring the astronauts back would have made Trump ''look good'' and that Biden didn't want that publicity in September, so close to the presidential election. So, compassionate Joe left those astronauts stranded in space for months for his own benefit.

According to the author, U.S. hypocrisy surrounding the subject of election meddling is incredible. The U.S. military, the Democratic party, and media accused Russia of implanting Donald Trump into the Oval office in 2016, with no evidence to prove it. However, there is plenty of evidence that the United States is the biggest meddler in the elections and affairs of other nations that history has ever known.

The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen, except for one, his dropping out of the re-election race.

From the article: It was not what Democratic leaders had wanted. They had warned their members before the joint address not to bring props and to stay on message, the focus should stay on the federal workers fired by Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, as well as the everyday Americans harmed by their policies and cuts. But it’s hard to keep every congressional Democrat in line.

From the article: On live TV, the U.S. president argued with the leader of a friendly nation facing existential peril, then expelled him from the White House and cancelled their lunch. What's the precedent for that? Is it the 1959 kitchen debate, where the U.S. vice-president and Soviet leader sparred on camera? But those weren't allies, and it was a relatively civil debate of ideas. This wasn't. This turned personal.

An undercover video shows a State Farm VP attacking Los Angeles fire victims and admitting State Farm is excluding white people from employment. State Farm VP Haden Kirkpatrick told an undercover journalist that, ''Areas like where the Palisades are, there should never be houses built in the first place…it's a tinderbox.'' Kirkpatrick also said he wants to reshape the workforce at State Farm to include more Latinos - he also admitted State Farm is excluding whites from employment.

A few decades ago, many U.S. school cafeterias prepared meals from scratch for hundreds of students each day. As years passed, some kitchen staff watched fresh ingredients like flour and eggs disappear, replaced by boxes of pre-packaged, processed foods.

This was Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to Trump saying men will not being allowed to play in women’s sports. The Democrats sat on their hands during the entire speech, not once standing or applauding anything, even when individuals in the balcony were honored for deeds and actions.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, a 40-day season of prayer, fasting and giving. On Ash Wednesday, priests place ash crosses on worshipers' foreheads to indicate they belong to Jesus Christ and are mourning for their sins. Lent concludes 40 days later.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s character in ‘Servant of the People’ is straight out of a Frank Capra movie. It’s easy to see why the people of Ukraine voted for him, even if they didn't imagine him defending their country from Putin.

Rachel Maddow, who is paid $30 million a year, is calling out her own network, MSNBC, for firing its ''non-white hosts.'' And where'd she do that? On her MSNBC TV show. ''I will tell you it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two - count them, two - non-white hosts in prime time, both of our non-white hosts in prime time are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend''. Stick around Rachel, you might be next.

From the article: ''By 1992 it was clear that Atlantic cod was in a desperate situation. The population of spawning-age fish had decreased by 93% in 30 years, and the species was threatened with extinction. The federal government decided drastic measures were needed to preserve the species. In 1992 John Crosbie the minister of fisheries and oceans announced a two-year-long ban on commercial cod fishing. 30,000 people lost their jobs and Newfoundland and Labrador's population decreased by 10%''

Living in the past isn’t just about nostalgia; it can trap you in cycles of regret, longing, or unresolved pain. Instead of being a guide for how to live better, the past becomes a prison that keeps you from thriving in the here and now.

From the article: ''Bear spray is intended as an instant fix to an attack. Use it incorrectly, and it starts to feel like a chronic health condition. Five minutes after spraying myself with bear spray, I felt mostly fine; five days after spraying myself with bear spray, I wondered for what deed I was owed such wicked and obvious divine retribution.''

Choosing a proper gas mask can literally be the difference between life and death. In the event of excessive smoke or chemical exposure, your gas mask can be the only thing standing between you and the horrid side effects of not getting enough oxygen.

In New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Place de France, stands the statue of St. Joan of Arc. Joan was born in Domrémy, France, a sister city and namesake of New Orleans. The statue honors Joan’s spirit of humility, faith, and courage. This film celebrates that spirit.

Legendary Hollywood actor Gene Hackman, his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog were found dead at their New Mexico home on Wednesday afternoon, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported. The cause of death is currently unknown, but Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed that no foul play is suspected.

The Delta flight skidded along the runway in flames before flipping over and coming to a dramatic halt upside down, losing its tail and an entire wing in the process. Some of the 80 people on board were then left hanging upside down while still strapped to their seats, before they scrambled over luggage to escape onto the snowy runway.

Black History Month is a time to examine figures who have prominently influenced public discourse. Joy Reid, a just-fired MSNBC host, stands out not only for her media presence but also for a series of controversies that have marred her career. Her dismissal from MSNBC serves as a pivotal moment to reflect on her contentious tenure and the divisive impact she has had on journalism and public perception.

In AD 1362, a terrible storm broke through the dykes in the Wadden Sea, protecting medieval people living in the marshy foreland. Later called the Grote Mandrenke – The Great Drowning of Men – a whole town, Rungholt, together with 42 parishes, disappeared.

Afrikaners, the descendants of mainly Dutch, French, and German settlers who came to South Africa in the 1600s, have been gathering regularly at the embassy since U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order cutting aid to South Africa, accusing the country of ''race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation'' and a ''shocking disregard of its citizens' rights.''

At least 9% of the U.S. egg-laying flock has been lost to the H5N1 avian influenza virus, and a major supply state, California, has lost an estimated 90% of its in-state production. The avian flu recently spread into three states that account for as much as one-third of U.S. egg production, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and spring waterfowl migrations are just around the corner, threatening to spread the virus to even more farms.

A Mississippi judge ordered a newspaper to remove an editorial criticizing the mayor and city leaders after the officials sued, sparking complaints from press advocates that it violates the First Amendment.

The Alaska Gold Rush town of Nome faced a bleak winter. It was hundreds of miles from anywhere, cut off by the frozen sea and unrelenting blizzards, and under siege from a contagious disease known as the ''strangling angel'' for the way it suffocated children. Now, 100 years later, Nome is remembering its saviors - the sled dogs and mushers who raced for more than five days through hypothermia, frostbite, gale-force winds and blinding whiteouts to deliver the life-saving serum.

Every day, between two and three thousand aircraft fly across the North Atlantic between Canada, the United States and Europe.

$Published in 1962, the eponymous Drake equation sought to estimate the number of detectable alien civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. This equation takes into account the average rate of star formation in the galaxy, the fraction of those stars that have orbiting planets, and the average number of those planets per star that can support life. This formula also considers what could support intelligent organisms, and whether those organisms can develop technology capable of contacting others.$

The town of Banff, about 80 miles west of Calgary in southwest Alberta, sits within Canada's oldest national park of the same name, offering awe-inspiring mountain views at every turn, and, of course, an abundance of outdoor recreation. In summer, two million visitors pour into the park, but winter is noticeably quieter. That makes it a perfect time to bundle up and enjoy the snow-blanketed natural splendor.

In an historic move, the Trump administration fired the Joint Chiefs chairman, the Navy's top officer, the Air Force vice chief of staff, and the judge advocates general of three service branches. President Trump announced the firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Brown and nominated Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan ''Razin'' Caine for the post.Then, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the Navy's top officer Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to hold the post, as well as the Air Force Gen. James Slife.

The U.S. government is taking UFOs more seriously. In 2021, the government created a program within the Office of Naval Intelligence meant to ''standardize collection and reporting'' of UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. In 2024, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office reported that it had received 757 UAP reports since 2021.

While much of Europe reluctantly restrained a natural enthusiasm for the Confederacy, Russia openly supported the Union. The sentiment was made explicit in a manifesto written by Foreign Minister Prince Alexander Gorchakov for Tsar Alexander II and delivered by the Russian ambassador in Washington to Secretary of State William Seward, noted that the two countries formed ''a natural community of interests and sympathies,'' and that Russia viewed the United States as an essential element of the equilibrium.

Think twice about parking in a Tennessee Walmart parking lot. If you're found guilty, you could face jail time and fines. The bill also adds a Class C misdemeanor punishable with a $50 fine and community service for certain offenses such as parking overnight under a Tennessee overpass.

Bessie Coleman was the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license. In the 1920s, getting a pilot's license as a Black woman in the United States was impossible, so Coleman moved to France to get her flying certification. On June 15, 1921, Coleman achieved her goal, making history as the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license.

In the context of today's arms race, the term ''hypersonic'' applies to weapons that combine Mach 5+ speed (over one mile per second) with substantial maneuverability. By comparison, traditional rocket-propelled ballistic missiles-many of which already exceed Mach 5-have limited maneuverability. And though typical cruise missiles powered by jet engines can be very maneuverable, they're generally much slower than Mach 5.

The diamond came from India's alluvial mines thousands of years ago, sifted from the sand. According to Hindu belief, it was revered by gods like Krishna-even though it seemed to carry a curse, if the luck of its owners was anything to go by.

The cause of Elon Musk's crusade was to cut government waste. Elon's first target was USAID, an agency that annually disburses tens of billions of dollars across the globe, they say to fight famine and disease and bring clean water to millions, but mostly to waste billions of dollars on worthless projects that do little or nothing to help Americans. Liberal politicians and media, like Time magazine, don't see it that way.

As the Great Depression tightened its grip on the nation, the government was forced to act. Vowing to protect U.S. industry from overseas competitors, Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1930, better known as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. The measure imposed near-record tax rates on a wide range of imported goods. A number of American trading partners retaliated by imposing tariffs on U.S.-made goods. As a result, world trade fell by two-thirds between 1929 and 1934.

Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as ''Sleepy Joe,' finally surrendered his grip on power at the age of 82. But, we're a little curious to see what Biden will get up to in the future. It was reported that he's signed a contract with a Hollywood talent agency, so we might be seeing him do commericals in the future, or even as an actor in movies or television shows.

On Feb. 5, 2025, social media users spread a claim that Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Democratic former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, received $84 million in taxpayer money from the U.S. Agency for International Development, (USAID).

Beavers have saved Czech taxpayers a cool $1 million by flooding a protected former army training site where a long-stalled dam was planned. Among nature's great engineers, beavers and their inventions have long been championed by environmentalists for their ability to protect against flooding, improve water quality, and boost wildlife. Before humans started to build the dam, beavers set to work building a dam of their own.

February 14, A.D. 270, Valentine, a priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, was executed.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz allowed Somali fraudsters to steal a jaw-dropping $250 million. This was the single biggest COVID scam in America. The money was supposed to feed hungry kids. Instead, the cash vanished into luxury cars, real estate, and extravagant trips. $160,000 was wired to China. Half a million was sent to Kenya for a lavish apartment. Ilhan Omar even took donations from these criminals. Walz knew it was a scam. He froze the funds, but when the fraudsters cried racism, he caved.

Ten people explain why, instead of saying it’s over, they decided to just disappear.

Early in Joe's term, he decided to pull out of Afghanistan. Never mind that the pullout left a strategic crossroads utterly unguarded. Never mind that we left behind billions in high-tech weaponry for the barbarians. Never mind that we could have instead pulled out in an organized manner, as Joe's generals urged. What was important to Joe was that he make a bold statement. It was a bold ''Hold my beer, and watch this!'' stunt.

The Judiciary has the authority to reject all bills passed through Congress if they are unconstitutional. No other authority, even the President, can interpret laws.

The Admiral Nakhimov is one of four Kirov Class battlecruisers built for the Soviet Navy in the 1980s, which at the time represented by far the most formidable surface combat ships in the world.

It took about nine hours for Colombia to cave in to Donald Trump's tariff threats over migrant deportations. The South Americans had turned back two military deportation flights but changed course when faced with up to 50 per cent duty on their exports. Trump defined his approach as Fafo - which stands for ''f*** around, find out'' - in a post on his social media site featuring an image of Trump wearing a fedora and a pinstripe suit, looking like a 1920s gangster.

The Bellamy salute is a palm-out salute created by James B. Upham as the gesture that was to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America written by Francis Bellamy. It was also known as the ''flag salute'' when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance. Both the Pledge and its salute originated in 1892. During the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a very similar salute. It was replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code in 1942.

The film ''Conclave'' is mired in double-dealing and dirty tricks by other senior clerics. But in reality, the Vatican has not only its own secret service but also a roster of ''James Bonds in cassocks'' trained to parachute behind enemy lines.

The easiest route to Valhalla is to die fighting in a battle and be kind and faithful to the prime Norse god Odin and his kin. However, what is Valhalla?

President Donald Trump entered the White House promising drastic reform of the way America is governed. He may only have two years, at best, to drive it through. Trump has Republican majorities in the House and Senate and secured a conservative majority in the Supreme Court.

X owner Elon Musk unintentionally made an offensive gesture while speaking during President Donald Trump’s inauguration and folks on the left are gleefully jumping on the opportunity to partake in one of their favorite activities: Calling Trump supporters Nazis.

As Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting an estimated 6.7 million Americans , so it's not surprising that people who experience memory loss may suspect AD.

President Donald Trump's political retribution tour began with firings of his perceived enemies inside the federal government, the targeting of former intelligence and national security officials and a directive to investigate actions by the Biden administration. Trump and his team wasted no time reassigning nearly two dozen senior Justice Department officials and dismissing career DOJ officials who oversee the nation's immigration courts, State Department diplomats and the commandant of the Coast Guard.

A Presidential Pardon does not take effect unless the suspect accepts it. According to a little known 1915 ruling from the Supreme Court, once accepted, the pardon serves as an ''imputation of guilt,'' or what's more commonly known as an admission.

When the servants of the globalist elite placed at the top of the institutions, both civil and religious, talk about welcoming illegal immigrants, they do not tell you that they make huge profits from the management of immigrants. When they talk about the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, they do not tell you that they have a conflict of interest since they themselves are involved.

The people closest to President Biden were well aware that he had changed. He talked more slowly than he had just a few years before, needed to hoist himself out of his seat in the presidential limousine, walked with a halting gait, and shook hands with people who weren't there.

It's not the fastest fighter jet in the Air Force's arsenal -- that title goes to the F-15E Strike Eagle -- but it's up there. Just how fast it goes depends on its altitude, because a lower altitude comes with a higher level of drag while a higher one means less drag. At sea level, it can get up to 921 mph or Mach 1.21. At higher altitudes, however, it exceeds Mach 2 or 1,534 mph.

Pie-rats sail the starry night, seeking treasures baked just right. Pie-rats don't want gold doubloons, their bounty comes on forks and spoons.

''Do you solemnly swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?'' Anyone testifying in a court of law in the United States hears this phrase, and agrees to the statement. This is customary in many judicial systems, as it is important to affirm the validity of statements made in court. The controversy comes when attempting to define the proper oath, and what to swear on. Swearing on the Bible in court is no longer done as universally as it once was.

''Cat lady'' is a term where there is no male equivalent. The crazy cat lady has become sort of cultural meme that signifies rock bottom. One can lose their mind and live alone in a dilapidated shack, but you haven't truly scraped the bottom of the barrel until you've decided to throw a few cats into the mix.

Bob Uecker, the clubhouse wit who turned his tales of inferiority as a major league catcher into a comic narrative that animated his second career as a sportscaster and commercial pitchman, died at his home in Menomonee Falls, Wis. He was 90.

If you are a new author, beware of possible vanity press scams that lure you in with the promise to publish your book. Some companies you find, or perhaps ones that contact you unsolicited, often mask their true intentions with grand promises and minimal transparency. These publishers often shower you with complimentary talk about publishing your wonderful manuscript but shy away from mentioning the costs or how they will help you sell your book.

In a secret meeting that lasted just 90 minutes, SS General Reinhard Heydrich laid out the plan to eliminate all 11 million Jews living in Europe. A court stenographer took down every word and a copy was sent to all attendees with strict instructions to destroy after reading. All did, except one person.

In January 1942, as the United States enters World War II, a conference assembles near Berlin. S.S. General Heydrich and his associate, Lieutenant Colonel Eichmann call the meeting to discuss the ''evacuation'' of Germany's Jews and other undesirables, a code word for their extermination in concentration camps. To begin this Final Solution, they must change the mind of a small group of men opposed to the idea, led by Chancellor Kritzinger. This is a remarkable film, done in real time to the actual event.

11 things Trump has promised to carry out on Day One of his presidency. President-elect Donald Trump has promised significant changes when he takes office on everything from immigration to foreign policy to tariffs.

Pam Bondi helped Dem Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii make a fool of herself at another confirmation hearing. Earlier in the week she was wrecked by Pete Hegseth over her shameless smear attempts. Hirono claimed Hegseth is a drunk and a womanizer who therefore is not qualified for the position of Defense Secretary. With Bondi, she pursued the same line of questions she always asked, as to whether or not the candidate has loose morals.

Sometimes crazy things happen at the end of a presidency. People who maybe shouldn't be pardoned get pardoned. Presidents flood the zone with executive actions related to things they couldn't get done legislatively or on dicey subjects they wanted to avoid before an election. And sometimes presidents get senioritis and throw caution to the wind. But rarely do we see something like this: An outgoing president suddenly declaring there is another amendment to the Constitution.

Super Scoopers get their name from their ability to pick up 6,000 liters (1,600 gallons) from bodies of water and drop it on wildfires burning nearby.

Airplane food has fallen a long way from the glory days of in-flight dining when meals were served on white tablecloths and stewardesses scrambled eggs in the air. Disappearing meals have joined a long list of pain points, inconveniences and cutbacks that fliers endure today. The end of in-flight dining for many passengers surprisingly rose out of big changes in government regulation, airplane design, in-flight movies, industry tax breaks, plus heightened health and safety concerns.

The intention behind the program was for a small number of safety-net providers to have access to affordable drugs and be able to expand their care for needy patients. But instead, the program has exploded: Now, more than half of nonprofit hospitals in the United States take part.

It usually starts with a bad design or a spur-of-the-moment decision. Imagine someone picking a tattoo on the fly, not thinking about how it'll look years down the road or if it really suits them. Then, there's the actual tattooing part. Things can go south if the artist isn't qualified. You know, shaky lines, words spelled wrong, colors that blend into a muddy mess - basically, a great idea getting lost in the process.

The Los Angeles wildfires were still raging uncontained when the finger-pointing started. The devastation was caused, not by prolonged drought or the Santa Ana winds, according to President-elect Donald Trump and others, but by Democrat politicians whose priorities allowed the fires to spread.

Will Rogers. Trick roper. Actor. Cowboy philosopher. He is famous for his line, ''I never met a man I didn’t like.''After becoming one of the highest-paid actors of his time, Rogers developed about 359 acres in what is now known as Pacific Palisades, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. His home was a 31-room ranch house with neighboring guest housing, a stable, corrals, golf course, and riding trails. Now, the horrific Palisades fire has leveled it.

After a night in which temperatures dipped as low as 31 degrees, Pensacola police are investigating the death of a homeless person found near Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen. During cold weather events, particularly when the temperature dips below 40 degrees, officers attempt to track down and speak with unhoused people to ask if they would like a ride to a local cold weather shelter, but sometimes they don't always accept the offer. 31° Fahrenheit would be a heat wave in January here in Minnesota.

From the article:''Soros has been a major donor to far-left politicians and has promoted policies that undermine the rule of law in our country. Given Biden's embrace of these policies and the funding Soros has provided, this looks like nothing more than an effort to reward and keep happy one of the Left's major donors (and his family). It cheapens what should be a prestigious award and gives everyday Americans yet another reason to be disgusted by the current Administration's actions.''

Since November, 2024 New Jersey has been in the midst of a genuine drone panic. It began as a handful of sightings outside military bases like the U.S. Army's Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County, a research and manufacturing site that was once the site of bomb-making during World War II. That has since exploded to over 5,000 sightings reported to the FBI across not only New Jersey but at least ten other states.

The F-4 Phantom was a fighter jet that entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1961 and eventually found its way to the Air Force two years later only for the Marine Corps to adopt it too. Four decades in service saw it become one of the best-selling fighter jets in U.S. history. Unfortunately, all things must come to an end, even top-performing twin-engine multi-role fighter jets.

In 1994, the U.S. Air Force came up with one of the most misguided military research proposals in American history. The secret plan aimed to create what the press later dubbed a ''gay bomb,'' which, when detonated, would make enemy soldiers irresistible to each other, according to government papers. The theoretical bomb would release an aerosolized chemical weapon containing potent aphrodisiacs that would attract enemy soldiers to each other, disrupting their combat effectiveness.

Electric bike (aka e-bike) sales have soared over the last few years due to their rise in popularity. Undoubtedly you have seen RVers cruising around the campground this past summer.

In 1961, a 19-year-old from Minnesota arrived in New York with his guitar and talent, destined to change the course of American music. He forged intimate relationships with music icons of Greenwich Village on his meteoric rise in popularity. The story behind Bob Dylan, he didn't sing very well, liking it is an acquired taste, but he sure could write the songs. I'm giving this movie two thumbs up.

Throwaway ticketing is a practice that's gone on for many decades. Airlines often charge more money for non-stops than they do for connecting itineraries. So people book a flight with a connection through the city they want to travel to, and just don't take that second connecting flight. As a result, they can often save money, but there are risks you should know about.

The orbit around Earth is becoming increasingly crowded, and experts warn we may be nearing the tipping point for a catastrophic chain reaction known as Kessler Syndrome.

There's little need to point out that ''Gatsby'' is part of American literary culture, considered by some to be a perfect novel. Set in the Jazz Age of the 1920s, it is a story of money, social class and betrayal. It has inspired films (with Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio), opera, songs and years of scholarship about the symbolism we might remember from high school, and the failure of the American Dream experienced by the generation that fought World War One.

''The next generation of tanks will have to mimic some of the design philosophies of Tesla'', says Mick Ryan, a retired Maj. General with the Australian Defense Force. ''The main battle tanks will need to be a computer program around which we wrap a vehicle''.

If another great power conflict erupts, it will be fought in the strategic domain of space.

According to the author, Tim Walz has driven the Land of 10,000 Lakes in a downright bizarre direction. Yes, Minnesota has long been a blue state, but it wasn't until Walz took office in 2019 that it embraced the kookiness of hard-Left policy made infamous by states like California and New York. Let's unpack why exactly Minnesota's government has become a case study in weirdness under Walz's watch.

An inspirational article that this poor old fellow should read.

It's almost impossible to find anyone who is optimistic about Congress. The good news is that this is not the first time we've despaired over Congressional dysfunction. In fact, in the years leading up to one of the biggest outbursts of legislative productivity, the passage of the Great Society in 1965 and 1966, here was a huge chorus of critics who decried the inaction of Congress.

Clarence Darrow exists foremost in the public memory as Spencer Tracy, who played a lawyer based on Darrow in the 1960 movie Inherit the Wind. That film was based on Darrow's 1925 defense of a Tennessee educator accused of breaking a state law banning the teaching of evolution. Darrow lost The State of Tennessee v. Scopes, or the ''monkey trial,'' as it was known. The author of 'Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the Damned' suggests Darrow's life was even more tumultuous than that sensational trial displayed.

Where Minnesotans should not just be good at it, but excel, is keeping people warm, especially homeless people. We should be No. 1 in world rankings.

The history of the newspaper in America begins in 1619, the same time as the tradition began in England, and a few decades later began in the Netherlands and Germany. In England, ''The Weekly Newes,'' written by Thomas Archer and Nicholas was a collection of news items printed in a quarto format and distributed to their clients, wealthy English landowners who lived in London for several months out of the year and spent the rest of the time in the country and needed to be kept up to date.

Crazy Horse is the common English rendering for the name of the Oglala war chief Th ašúke Witkó (c. 1840-1877). He rose to prominence among the Lakota Sioux in the Black Hills War, in particular battles such as the Fetterman Fight (1866) and Little Big Horn (1876).
