Justice Clarence Thomas blasted the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday for blocking Florida’s lawsuit against two blue states that gave a commercial drivers license to an immigrant who later caused a deadly crash. The Supreme Court declined to hear Florida’s lawsuit against California and Washington over undocumented truck drivers, with both Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito dissenting. Thomas wrote in his dissent that he doubts the court “has discretion to refuse to hear cases within its exclusive original jurisdiction.”“This Court has exclusive original jurisdiction over [Florida’s] suit because it involves one State suing other States,” Thomas wrote. “Article III establishes that ‘[i]n all Cases . .…
https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-15848473/Scientists-predict-global-population-crash-2064.html By XANTHA LEATHAM, UK Daily Mail Excerpt: Earth’s population currently sits at 8.3 billion people – but it could crash within the next 40 years, experts have warned. Scientists say that, in a worst–case scenario, humanity could potentially be halved by the year 2064. This could be the result of climate collapse, a pandemic, global conflict or resource shortages, they warned. ‘The most provocative part of our paper explores hypothetical future scenarios,’ the researchers, from the University of Milan, said. ‘We modelled what could happen if major environmental crises abruptly imposed severe carrying–capacity limits on Earth. ‘Under a deliberately…

In my first post this morning, I had a couple of Xweets that gave a bit of a hint about what’s been going on in Newark, New Jersey, over the past few days.There’s a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Newark that’s been getting some renewed attention lately, thanks to the spring weather warming things up. Advertisement And if that sort of rings a bell with you, you get a cookie. It’s the same facility that, almost a year ago, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver and the Newark mayor were arrested at for charging the gate and roughing up…
PM Carney is trying to keep Alberta from seceding Alberta separatism is a reality, despite establishment figures such as Carney trying to deny the facts. As the oil-rich province of Alberta gears up for the October referendum on separating from globalist Canada, the pushback from defenders of the status quo is relentless. Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney is one of them. After branding Alberta essential to Canada, Carney has criticized its upcoming referendum as a ‘dangerous bluff’, comparing it to the Brexit process of the UK leaving the European Union. Mark Carney puts Alberta on notice: “In these separation issues,…

Or more locally, and realistically: will we ever establish settlements on Mars or the Moon? Before we even consider stuff like huge generation ships, we have to look at our biology.

Republican War Hawks are now turning on President Trump as new Iran Deal begins to take shape The world stands at a precipice. After weeks of secret negotiations in Islamabad, historic face-to-face talks between American and Iranian diplomats, and a brief ceasefire that halted the largest oil supply disruption in global history, President Donald Trump has announced that a memorandum of understanding to end the US-Israeli war on Iran has been “largely negotiated.” But instead of relief, the announcement has triggered a firestorm of condemnation from senior Republicans who backed the war, warning that any deal leaving Iran militarily capable…

After Ukraine was attacked by 600+ drones, Zelenskyy rallies European support (even though Ukraine uses drones to kill Russian civilians) In the predawn hours of Sunday, Moscow’s financial district shuddered under a coordinated drone attack, a strike Russian officials immediately attributed to Ukraine. While President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not formally claimed responsibility, he has signaled a new phase of the conflict, one where the war “inevitably, naturally, and absolutely fairly” returns to Russian territory. This comes as Russian forces pummeled Kyiv with a massive salvo of 600 drones and 30 missiles, including the experimental Oreshnik hypersonic weapon, killing two people…

The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, also estimates that power-sector carbon dioxide emissions could be up to 28% higher compared to a future without new data center growth.

The great outdoors workout: Why taking your exercise outside may be better for your health—and your sanity Outdoor exercise provides measurable psychological and physiological advantages over indoor workouts, including lower cortisol levels, reduced perceived exertion and greater enjoyment, which predicts long-term adherence to fitness programs. Six specific outdoor exercises are recommended for their accessibility and effectiveness: ball slams, burpees (benefiting from the “grass effect” that reduces anxiety), step-ups (using urban furniture), speed intervals, jump rope and bear plank walks. Performing exercise outdoors allows for liberating elements often suppressed indoors, such as forceful exhalations, grunts and the noise of ball slams,…
Walking more than 100 minutes per day is associated with a lower risk of developing chronic low back pain, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open. The study, which analyzed data from more than 11,000 adults aged 20 and older, found that those who walked 101 to 124 minutes daily had a 23% lower risk of developing chronic low back pain compared with those who walked fewer than 78 minutes per day. The findings, based on one of the largest ongoing health surveys globally, indicate that walking volume, not intensity, was the primary factor in reducing risk, according…

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Did you ever wonder how the gospel came to America? History tells us that somebody brought it here aboard a ship. Jesus communicated the Good News to his disciples and the curious crowds in Israel, but what happened after that? Following his miraculous conversion, the apostle Paul wrote half of the books in our New Testament, and through his preaching, traveling and written letters, he personally brought the gospel to the non-Jewish world. Notice that God in His omniscience perfectly timed the arrival of Paul on the scene to…

burning buildings in the heart of Sudan’s Zamzam refugee camp Colombian mercenaries recently carried out massacres and rapes in Sudan, but so did Sudanese militiamen they were allied with. Why were the Colombians hired to fight in Sudan to begin with? Mercenaries could be hired more cheaply and quickly from within Africa, rather than going all the way to South America. Mercenaries are often hired from poorer countries to fight in richer countries. Sudan is much poorer than Colombia. Colombia is 7,000 miles away from Sudan. So the Colombian mercenaries had to be flown in from far away. Poor countries…
