West Point, the United States Military Academy, has a plaque with the name Ku Klux Klan displayed with a hooded figure displayed at the entry to Bartlett Hall, the science place on the tactical institute’s grounds.

If you have ever enjoyed watching movies like District 13 or Paul Walker’s (RIP) Brick Mansions, with their barely-time-to-breathe parkour action, then you really need to check out John Travolta’s 11-year-old son, Benjamen, on the parkour course. While not quite a David Belle (District 13) yet, young Travolta’s skills are pretty impressive. Parkour, or freerunning, is the skill of traversing any terrain using jumping, climbing, swinging, and some other “ings” that I am probably omitting. Think Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan when they wanted to get somewhere. To be honest, when I first heard about Ben Travolta being a “level…
In New York City, you not only have to bring your ID to the store to purchase alcohol and cigarettes, but now you must only show proof of being 21 years of age if you intend to buy whipped cream cans. This is not a new law and, in fact, was passed in November 2021. This law is meant to stop teenagers from using whipped cream canisters to inhale nitrous oxide, known as “whippets.” The legislation, though, targets the”whipped cream chargers,” which are small steel cartridges of nitrous oxide used in whipped cream dispensers. Seriously? They don’t have a problem…
Conservative Senate candidates are explaining their abortion positions as Democrats endeavor to paint the GOP as having “extremist” pro-life positions, trusting the issue will inspire their base to make an appearance in the polls this November. Tiffany Smilean, the GOP candidate in Washington state, delivered an ad Thursday where she blamed the incumbent for erroneously going after her stance on early termination by guaranteeing she wants a nationwide abortion ban. Liberals have hooked on abortion and killing your child as a key midterms issue following the Supreme Court’s choice in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which corrected almost 50…

To say if you don’t agree with me then you don’t even have a right to be here,” he added. Hochul sparked controversy by saying political opponents like Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin ought…

Be that as it may, examiners said they found undeniable proof of torment conceivably adding up to “crimes against humanity.” Human rights groups have been calling out what’s going on in the north-western territory…

Trump’s Truth Social is facing an obstacle. The app wasn’t approved by Google and is not available on the Google Play Store. According to Google, the Truth Social app does not have any effective means for moderating user-generated content. This is seen as a violation of the store’s terms of service.

In an attempt to block Congress from confirming Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential…
