Senator JD Vance again roasted Vice President Kamala Harris in funny post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, August 9, once again bringing up her seeming reluctance to speak to journalists about anything at all, something that many on the right have brought up in the weeks after President Biden dropped out and named her as his successor. Trump, for example, joked that Vice President Harris is barely competent and unable to do interviews, quite in contrast to him, saying, “She hasn’t done an interview. She can’t do an interview. She’s barely competent. She can’t do an interview, but I look… CONTINUE READING…

This abandoned merchant warehouse complex in Tainan’s Anping District was originally built in the 19th century by the British Tait & Co trading company, which is evident in the Western colonial architecture that is still just barely visible at the front of the overgrown site. Nowadays, the place has taken on a new purpose altogether, thanks to the spectacle of the Anping Tree House that is tucked around the back. For a few dollars, you can enter the grounds and find the remains of the warehouse buildings crumbling under an extraordinary web of banyan tree roots. In the years since the site… CONTINUE READING…

Speaking during an interview with CNN on Thursday, August 8, Doug Julin, who was above Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the National Guard hierarchy before Walz dropped out of it in the months before his unit was deployed to Iraq, said that Walz was wrong to do what he did and that Walz went behind his back to get out of deploying because he would have said he could not do so. Julin, for reference, was a more senior command sergeant in the Minnesota National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery. He said that in 2004, as the insurgency in… CONTINUE READING…

The Trump campaign recently released a new ad that exposes Kamala Harris’ radical agenda. Notably, the basis of the ad is not direct attacks from Trump’s team.  Instead, it is centered the vice president’s own statements explaining her progressive stances on various important issues the nation is currently challenged with. Former President Donald Trump debuted the ad during a rally he hosted on Friday, showing the crowd “what Kamala Harris would do as president” in her own words.  The clip opens with a comment from Harris, stating, “Yeah, I am radical. We need to get radical about what we are… CONTINUE READING…

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign stated on Saturday that he was “fine” and being checked at a local medical facility after an apparent shooting at a political rally. Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said that Trump was “fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.” Cheung added that Trump “thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.” As Trump addressed a sizable gathering of fans in Pennsylvania, what appeared to be gunshots broke out, leaving blood on the side of his face. He stood up, raised his fist, and yelled at the… CONTINUE READING…

Following the presidential debate debacle that unfolded late last month, Joe Biden is continuing to display signs of declining mental and physical health.  Such demonstrations of his advanced age are problematic for the Biden campaign as it attempts to recover ground and reinstill faith among the Democratic Party and American voters that the president is fit to serve as the commander-in-chief. Before the debate, President Biden spent the week at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, preparing for his head-to-head discussion with former President Donald Trump, where he had his schedule cleared until the event.  However, footage of Biden… CONTINUE READING…

The ruins of an Estonian prison are drowning in the quarry lake where the convicts were once forced to work.  It’s unlikely that those interred in this Soviet prison ever imagined that the quarry they were forced to work in would someday become a beautiful diving spot. But it’s a weird world, and time is long.  The ruins of the abandoned prison camp outside the small Estonian town of Rummu were once a dreaded stone edifice, but are now a beach attraction. The prison was already established in the 1940s by the Soviet Union. It was built in a convenient location,… CONTINUE READING…

Last year, a Florida teen brutally beat a teacher who had taken his Nintendo Switch away from him.  Six-foot-six, 270-pound Brendan Depa, who has turned 18 since the incident, was recently handed a five-year sentence for the crime he committed in 2023.  As Circuit Judge Terence Perkins delivered the punishment to the hulking teenager, he could be seen throwing his head back in dismay. Depa was charged with felony aggravated battery after he violently assaulted the paraprofessional Joan Naydich in a hallway inside of Matanzas High School in Palm Coast.  After Naydich had confiscated Depa’s gaming device, footage showed him… CONTINUE READING…
