Gun control activist David Hogg is living high on the hog thanks to the many donors cutting checks to his political action committee (PAC), Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show. Hogg created a group in the aftermath of the 2022 midterm elections called Leaders We Deserve PAC, which states that its goal is to elect Generation Z politicians to offices throughout the country. He created the PAC with Kevin Lata, the campaign manager for Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL)—a Generation Z Democrat elected in 2022.

SALISBURY TWP., Pa. — Little daylight separated the Lehigh Valley's three Republican congressional candidates during an hourlong debate Wednesday afternoon. Kevin Dellicker, an Air Force Reserve intelligence officer; state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie; and Maria Montero, a member of former Gov. Tom Corbett's administration, faced off at WFMZ's studio for a taping of 'Business Matters.' The three political hopefuls staked out similar positions on just about every subject broached by host Tony Iannelli. On foreign affairs, the three offered unequivocal support for Israel and its continued military campaign in Gaza following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. They labeled the Chinese government as...

Hollywood celebrities erupted in orgasmic emotion late Thursday after officials in Fulton County, Georgia, released their mugshot of former President Donald Trump. While there was plenty of joy from Hollywood’s hardcore Joe Biden cheerleaders, some of the celebrity climaxes were disturbingly angry and vindictive — a sign of mounting, unstable rage as Trump continues to surge in the polls ahead of 2024. Celebrities who went wild over the mugshot include John Cusack, Alyssa Milano, Jon Cryer, and Disney tool Josh Gad.

A man was left critically injured after being struck by a car, beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed in a wild, caught-on-camera ordeal in the middle of an upstate New York street over the weekend, police said. The chaotic chain of events unfolded in Poughkeepsie on Sunday afternoon after two speeding vehicles sparked a wrong-way crash that ended with two men brawling and another wielding a shotgun. Investigators, who are still trying to piece together the violent scene, said the two cars had been flying down Pershing Avenue Park in the wrong direction just after 3 p.m. when they...

Jaw-dropping video captured a ginormous alligator sauntering through an upscale Florida community to the horror of residents. WINK meteorologist Matt Devitt posted footage on Facebook of the “big boy” waddling across the road at the Forest Glen Golf & Country Club in Naples late last week. “Dios mio!” a woman is heard saying in Spanish – meaning “My God!” “Is it really here? It’s gigantic!” another woman cries out about the 10-foot-long roving reptile that turned the neighborhood into a scene out of “Jurassic Park.” The scaly jaywalker, which apparently arrived from a nearby river, took all the attention in...

A new study led by Emory University has found that two common wild plants can inhibit the activity of the virus causing Covid-19 to infect human cells. Laboratory experiments revealed that extracts from the flowers of tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima) and the rhizomes of the eagle fern (Pteridium aquilinum) efficiently stopped SARS-CoV-2 from entering human cells. Since the active compounds are only present in small quantities in the plants, it would be ineffective – and even potentially dangerous – for people to attempt to treat themselves with them. “It’s very early in the process, but we’re working to identify, isolate...

Vulnerable Pennsylvania Democrat Rep. Susan Wild was caught on camera at a campaign event saying she will have to reeducate her constituents for supporting former President Donald Trump. The constituents Wild believes are in need of reeducation are in Carbon County — one of the counties her redrawn district will include effective in January. They “need to be schooled,” Wild said at a Monday campaign event. “Not quite sure what was in their heads, because the people of Carbon County are exactly the kind of people who should not be voting for Donald Trump,” she claimed. “I guess I’ll have...

During an interview with MSNBC on Saturday, Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA) argued that President Joe Biden has handled the crisis with Russia and Ukraine “masterfully.” And that while “We should have provided more to Ukraine,” “that’s not President Biden’s fault, that’s the fault of prior administrations.” Wild said, “I think President Biden has been handling this masterfully. I think he has done an excellent job of both leading and unifying our allies, and I’m proud of that. There are a number of mistakes that have been made over the last decade. We should have provided more to Ukraine, and that’s...

John McAfee, who died yesterday, was one of the oddest men of our times. You might have thought Elon Musk was the most eccentric man in tech, with his fondness for memes, crypto-currencies and flamethrowers. Elon Musk was Joe Average compared to McAfee. The creator of the first commercial anti-virus software was one of a kind.

Distinct psychological mix associated with mountain populations is consistent with the theory that harsh frontiers attracted certain personalities. This psychological fingerprint for mountainous areas may be an echo of the personality types that sought new lives in unknown territories Friedrich Götz When historian Frederick Jackson Turner presented his famous thesis on the US frontier in 1893, he described the “coarseness and strength combined with acuteness and acquisitiveness” it had forged in the American character. Now, well into the 21st century, and researchers led by the University of Cambridge have detected remnants of the pioneer personality in US populations of once...
