Hey there, guy from Bakersfield. Tell me, how exactly did the United States come into possession of the Mexican territory of Alta California?

Even if we were to accept the claim that this movie was inappropriate due to the brief, incidental & non-explicit reference to a same-sex crush, the response by Ms. Rodriguez is insane. This is not the response of a concerned parent but a political crusader promoting herself.
Container ship Dali appears to lose propulsion/electrical as it approaches Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Ship loses lighting and begins drifting. Without propulsion, the ship would have little directional control. It collides with the bridge tower. Shown at 2X speed.

Hinduism is the state religion in 0 countries and majority in only 3. There are 7 Buddhist majority countries (4 where it is official).
There are 15 countries where Christianity is the state religion and ~50 countries are 85%+ Christian.

Are you a liar or just obscenely ignorant? I'm guessing the answer is "both."
1. US is more energy independent than ever
2. Crude production is at record level
3. US is net exporter of petroleum (at near record levels)
4. Gasoline prices has dropped precipitously

People who are born deaf usually learn a signed language as their first language. ASL is not some visual representation of English but a completely different language, so asking them to read English CC is tantamount to asking native Mandarin speakers to read English CC.
@nkulw
These are defensive attacks, not retaliation. They are specifically "to degrade the Houthi ability to continue endangering mariners in the Red Sea." The Houthi's justifications are irrelevant. Self-defense and freedom of navigation are rights afforded every state.
Offshore wind energy might be the clearest example of how broken the permitting process has become.
The United States has 42 megawatts of offshore wind capacity in operation.
But there is more than 20,000 megawatts (!) of potential capacity stuck waiting for permits...

There is so much wrong with this claim. First, "jet fuel," like diesel fuel, is basically just kerosene. Second, the V1 was a pulse jet powered flying bomb and ran on gasoline while the V2 rocket was powered—duh—by a rocket motor using alcohol/water fuel and a liquid oxidizer.

Can someone give me an honest, informed answer about the masks? Are college students running around full-time wearing masks or is this just for protests? Is it about viruses, hiding their identity or virtue signaling? Is it only in pro-Palestine contexts? I just want an answer.

Defaming gay journalists is a bad look for an organization founded to counter defamation of gays. Accusing gay journalists of internalized homophobia for reporting on science that has nothing to do with being gay is non-sensical and overtly homophobic.

This facile and flawed reasoning is completely divorced from the reality of free expression on university campuses. It's as if you assembled the ingredients for a cake yet out of the oven came road tar—I wouldn't even know where to start a criticism of such a misadventure.

Did they say they are going to put on trial, in a "People's Tribunal," the other students who have been exercising their own right to free expression by, for instance, displaying an American flag? They basically want to conduct Cultural Revolution style struggle sessions.

Unless your point of comparison is Singapore Changi Airport (trains every 6 mins), It's a hard to imagine in what world this is a disgrace. Try getting a train at Heathrow after midnight and let me know how it goes.

From March 2020 to March 2024, CPI-U for food at home increased 24.7%. In every month from March 1973 through January 1983, the four-year inflation for food at home was in excess of 24.7%, peaking at 54.2% in November 1975. This was also true for each month from Dec. 2022 through

No. I'm saying that the native language of people born deaf in the United States is, usually, American Sign Language. English is learned as a non-native (i.e. foreign) language. Imagine learning a foreign language without ever being able to hear or speak the language.

This thing that you are doing Will, it is part of the problem. Everything we have done over the past decade has made things worse. We solve this by restoring civil discourse that brings Americans together, not with hyperbolic warnings of an imminent racial apocalypse.

Magnets, if made of iron, will rust and lose their magnetism when exposed to water & oxygen. This is likely a bit 1950s era practical knowledge that somehow stuck in his memory. It is, of course, irrelevant to whatever "magnetic elevators" about which he is prattling.
The more you deface the symbols of America, the less Americans will care about Gaza or Palestinian lives. Of course, the protestors who did this do not care about Palestinians either. They want a Marxist revolution. They want to destroy America. They won't succeed.
@RichardHanania
1. An ultranationalist Marxist-Leninist party is the 2nd largest opposition party in RSA. They wouldn't be any less bad if they sang lullabies.
2. All of this distracts attention from where it should be focussed: the ANC, which runs RSA, and is an actual criminal enterprise

for some good insights. Ship likely lost electrical power and steering but not main engines. Billows of black exhaust just after lights return likely indicate full reverse on main engines.
@MalcolmNance
Looks like it lost its auxiliaries. Main propulsion looks to be working from the billow of smoke which is most likely the main(s) being put hard into reverse in an attempt to stop it. Lights going in and out look to be aux. failure and switching of sources as they lose steering

Things are even more stark when you look at this by race. The homicide rate for white people in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens is ridiculously low. White people are 3–4x more likely to be murdered in major TX & FL counties than NY.
