Newt Gingrich Is Convinced Biden Wants Harris to Lose, and He Thinks He Knows Why

/1 Comment/in , , /by

2024 is shaping up to be one of the most bizarre elections we’ve ever seen. From Biden being ousted in a “soft coup” by his own party, to President Trump teaming up with RFK Jr. and Elon Musk, and Kamala Harris basically hijacking her precious “democracy” to try to steal the White House—it’s been a wild ride. But one of the most interesting aspects of this campaign has been Joe Biden’s reaction to it all. It’s starting to look like Biden is actively sabotaging Kamala Harris. I mean, he actually put on a MAGA hat the day after Kamala’s debate with President Trump. Then he stood in front of the White House press corps and said he and Harris were “singing from the same song sheet” at a time when Team Harris was desperately trying to distance themselves from Biden’s—and Kamala’s—failures.

And if that wasn’t enough, while Kamala was trying to score political points by attacking Governor DeSantis during Hurricane Milton, Biden was praising the Florida Governor. So what’s really going on? Well, Newt Gingrich thinks he knows. He believes Joe and Jill have teamed up to undercut Harris—and he thinks he knows exactly why.

Kamala Plagiarism Claim Hits Harder After Walz Made Vance Book an Issue

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) seemed to relish the plagiarism allegations against Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday — as well he might, given that Harris’s running mate attacked Vance for what he wrote in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

“Hi, I’m JD Vance. I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia,” he posted on X.

Vance linked to a report by conservative journalist Christopher Rufo in which Harris is shown to have lifted several passages in her 2009 book Smart on Crime from sources without attribution, including Wikipedia. The New York Times admitted that Harris had, indeed, copied the passages, but claimed that the plagiarism was “not serious.”

The issue of authorship is certainly serious enough to have caused the Harris campaign to launch misleading attacks on Vance for the content of his memoir, which is a bestseller and has even been made into a Hollywood movie.

“Now look, [Vance] wrote a memoir at the ripe old age of 31, and he claimed to be an expert on Middle America, all the while trashing and denigrating the very community he was raised in,” Walz said in Nebraska in August, using an attack line that had become part of his stump speech. But Walz did not “denigrate” his community: his memoir is a deeply personal story about overcoming challenges and family instability.

New Migrant Caravan Headed North Trying to Beat the Possible Arrival of a Trump Administration

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new migrant caravan of approximately 1,000 migrants departed from Mexico’s southern border this weekend to make its way to Mexico City. From there, the group is expected to disperse and find various ways to reach the U.S. border. The caravan is the second to start in Mexico since October 1, when the country’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, took office.

The caravan began early Sunday morning in Tapachula, Chiapas, and has been officially named “God is Guiding Us.” The caravan comprises approximately 1,000 migrants from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Haiti, Panamá, and Costa Rica, as well as some migrants from Afghanistan and Nepal. The group plans to make its way to Mexico City, with its ultimate goal being the U.S. border.

The migrants who make up the caravan have received legal status in Mexico and were in the process of waiting in Chiapas for an appointment for the Biden-Harris administration’s CBP One application. However, the group’s organizers got tired of the long wait times.

According to Jonathan Rojas, the group fears the rhetoric former U.S. President Donald J. Trump voiced that he would close the current immigration pathway. Rojas claimed that he was traveling due to economic reasons due to a lack of opportunities in his native Colombia.

“There is real concern that if he (Trump) gets elected, they will close the border,” Rojas said. “We can’t keep waiting for them to give us an appointment. Conditions here in Chiapas are not healthy, there are too many of us and not enough supplies and space. They (the Mexican government) need to help us.” (Read more from “New Migrant Caravan Headed North Trying to Beat the Possible Arrival of a Trump Administration” HERE)

Archaeologists Uncover One of the World’s Oldest Christian Churches

/1 Comment/in , /by

By New York Post. Archaeologists recently uncovered what they believe to be one of the oldest Christian churches in the world. . .

The remains of the ancient Christian building were found at the Artaxata site in the Ararat Plain [in Armenia].

“The find consists of an octagonal building with cruciform extensions,” the University of Münster explained. . .

The find is fitting in Armenia, which the University of Münster says was the first Christian state ever established. (Read more from “Archaeologists uncover one of the world’s oldest Christian churches” HERE)

________________________________________________

Press Release from University of Munster

Archaeologists from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and the University of Münster have discovered the remains of a previously unknown early Christian church in the ancient city of Artaxata. The find consists of an octagonal building with cruciform extensions. The team excavated parts of the church and studied it using geophysical methods. “The 4th century building is the oldest archaeologically documented church in the country – sensational evidence for early Christianity in Armenia,” remarked Professor Achim Lichtenberger of the University of Münster. “Octagonal churches were unknown here until now, but we are very familiar with them from the Eastern Mediterranean region, where they first appeared in the 4th century AD,” added Dr Mkrtich H. Zardaryan of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia.

Typologically, the find corresponds to early Christian memorial buildings. In the cross-shaped extensions, the researchers discovered the remains of wooden platforms, which were radiocarbon dated to the mid-4th century AD. The octagonal building, around 30 metres in diameter, had a simple mortar floor and terracotta tiles. Finds of marble indicate that it was lavishly decorated with this material imported from the Mediterranean. The German-Armenian team has been in Armenia since September. They will continue their excavations and hope to make new discoveries, including the question of to whom the church was dedicated.

Background:

According to legend, Gregory the Illuminator converted the Armenian king Tiridates III to Christianity in Artaxata in 301 AD, making Armenia the first Christian state in the world. The medieval monastery of Khor Virap, just a stone’s throw from the now-discovered church, is a reminder of this tradition. Artaxata served as the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia, ruled by the Artaxiad and Arsacid dynasties. The city developed into an important metropolis in the Hellenistic period and was the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia for almost six centuries.

The Armenian-German research team has been exploring the Hellenistic metropolis of Artaxata in the Ararat Plain since 2018. The excavation project on the settlement archaeology of the ancient city is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia.

Time Magazine Owner Calls Out Kamala Harris for Turning down Multiple Interview Requests

/0 Comments/in , /by

The owner of Time magazine called out Vice President Kamala Harris for turning down multiple interview requests with the prominent publication as the campaign for the White House enters the homestretch.

Marc Benioff, who has owned Time since 2018, criticized the Democratic nominee on Sunday while pointing out that ex-President Donald Trump and President Biden — before he dropped out — both sat down for interviews during their campaigns.

“Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris — unlike every other Presidential candidate,” tweeted Benioff, who is best known as the founder of Salesforce.com.

“We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full. Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level? #TrustMatters #TransparencyMatters #Leadership.”

In a profile of Harris that was published online Friday, a Time reporter noted Trump spoke with Time for 90 minutes during two interviews, and Biden also spoke with the mag for a similar amount of time.

Majority of Americans Say Kamala Harris Hasn’t ‘Clearly Explained’ Immigration Stance

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority of Americans say that Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has not “clearly explained” her stance on illegal immigration even as it has become one of the top issues for voters, a new poll from Pew found.

The poll of Americans from Pew Research, conducted from September 30th to October 6th, found that more than 60 percent say that Democratic candidate for president Kamala Harris has not “clearly explained her policies” regarding illegal immigration.

Multiple public opinion surveys have found that illegal immigration is one of the top issues on the minds of voters as the November election draws near.

A sizable majority of respondents in the Pew poll, 70 percent, say that former President Donald Trump has clearly articulated his plan to address illegal immigration. The poll, which had 5,110 respondents, also found that majorities also believe that Harris has not clearly explained her positions on strengthening the economy, foreign policy, the wars between Russia and Ukraine or Israel and Hamas, or healthcare. Abortion was the only issue from the list of seven that respondents say Harris has adequately explained her stance on.

Armed Man Arrested Near Trump Coachella Rally Denies Wanting to Hurt Ex-Prez: ‘Complete Bulls–T’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The armed suspect who was arrested on weapons charges on his way to Donald Trump’s California rally denied the local sheriff’s assertion he wanted to kill the ex-president, calling the accusations on Sunday, “bullsh-t.”

Vem Miller, 49, reportedly claimed he’s a Trump supporter a day after he was cuffed Saturday afternoon near the Coachella Valley rally at a checkpoint — where sheriff deputies found a pair of guns and ammunition in his car.

While Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said he “truly” believes his deputies stopped a third assassination attempt against the Republican presidential nominee, Miller told the Southern California News Group on Sunday he was “shocked” by the allegations.

“These accusations are complete bullsh-t,” Miller told the news outlet. “I’m an artist, I’m the last person that would cause any violence and harm to anybody.”

Miller, who sources alleged to The Post is part of a far right anti-government group, said he was invited to the rally by the head of the Clark County GOP Party, and was donning a Trump shirt and hat when he ran into authorities at the checkpoint. . .

He said he told deputies he was carrying the firearms in his trunk – as a courtesy – before he was pulled over and forced to leave the car. The car was then “ransacked” after a deputy informed him he wanted to make sure the guns were legal purchases, he claimed.

TSA Air Marshals Too Busy Targeting Jan. 6, Terror Suspects to Police Migrants Flying around US Without IDs: Sources

/1 Comment/in , /by

US air marshals are so distracted tracking Jan. 6 suspects and other domestic threats that they are not devoting enough resources to policing the thousands of migrants flying around the country without IDs, sources say.

A TSA employee told The Post that Americans “should feel horrible” and “threatened” about the terrifying situation.

“None of the people that are coming through the border who are getting flight tickets are getting vetted by hardly any manner,’’ while US citizens are being forced to tightly adhere to airport security’s stringent ID requirements, the source said.

Meanwhile, federal air marshals have orders to focus their attention on targets of the Transportation Security Administration’s “Quiet Skies Program,” including suspected terrorists and, in recent years, individuals who took part in the Jan. 6 riots at the US Capitol, sources said.

“We’re scrutinizing our own people and letting other countries, other nationalities just come and do whatever they want to in our country. And Air Marshals aren’t getting put on those flights,” the source explained.

Kamala Harris Mingled With Tehran Regime Operative Who Promotes Terrorism

/1 Comment/in , /by

Iranian operatives in the US fund and fuel hate on campus and spread propaganda across the country — and even get face time with friendly American elected officials, according to an alarming new report on extremism by George Washington University researchers.

In one of the report’s concerning images, Vice President Kamala Harris is seen happily mingling with an imam at the center of the murderous regime’s influence campaign.

An Iranian-born cleric who served as head of the Iranian Navy’s political-ideological office during the 1980s, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi has deep, decades-long ties to his homeland, and has praised the Islamic Republic’s bloodthirsty founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Hezbollah, saying he would die for the cause.

Harris convened with Elahi at a vaccination event at the TCF Center (since renamed Huntington Place) in Detroit in July 2021, and planned to visit his controversial Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn, Mich., before the tour was scrapped at the last minute due to a flood, according to the nonprofit’s website.

“Imam Elahi joined the vaccination mobilization event addressed by Vice President Harris, Governor [Gretchen] Whitmer . . . and a group of state and national political leaders,” the nonprofit gushed alongside images of a smiling Elahi with Harris.

Brainless but Smart? Fungi Have ‘Mind-Blowing’ Problem-Solving Power

/4 Comments/in , /by

Can organisms without a brain still demonstrate intelligence? Researchers from Tohoku University and Nagaoka College sought to answer this question by investigating the decision-making abilities of fungi, specifically their abilities to navigate around spaces.

While it might sound like something out of science fiction, the concept of basal cognition—intelligence that doesn’t require a brain—is proving to be a real phenomenon, even in organisms as simple as fungi.

“You’d be surprised at just how much fungi are capable of,” says Yu Fukasawa from Tohoku University. “They have memories, they learn, and they can make decisions. Quite frankly, the differences in how they solve problems compared to humans are mind-blowing.”

Fungi grow by releasing spores that germinate into long, thread-like structures called mycelium, which spread underground. While we usually notice only the small mushrooms that sprout on the surface, beneath the ground lies a vast network of interconnected mycelium. This network operates similarly to the neural connections in a brain, allowing fungi to gather and share information about their surroundings.

The study explored how wood-decaying fungi, specifically their mycelial networks, responded to different spatial arrangements of wood blocks. Researchers placed the blocks in two configurations: a circle and a cross. If the fungi lacked decision-making abilities, they would have grown evenly from a central point, without regard to the position of the blocks. However, what the researchers observed suggested a more complex behavior. (Read more from “Brainless but Smart? Fungi Have ‘Mind-Blowing’ Problem-Solving Power” HERE)
