Some of the conspiracies are being deliberately fanned by groups associated with Iran and Russia-countries that Graham, a foreign policy hawk, strongly voiced opposition against. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and right-wing agitator Laura Loomer questioned whether Graham was ''poisoned by a foreign adversary either abroad or upon returning to the US'' in a post on X, calling for an investigation, noting the vagueness of statement from his office saying he died after a ''brief and sudden illness.''

Heavy smoke from wildfires blazing in Canada and Minnesota is engulfing large swaths of the Midwest and Northeast U.S. this week, impacting air quality as millions of people are exposed to hazardous levels of air pollution. More than 100 wildfires are burning in Canada, and winds are carrying the smoke southeast. Multiple wildfires are raging in northern Minnesota. High levels of fine particulate matter in the air from smoke can be unhealthy, especially for sensitive groups.

The Democratic Party's agenda bears a disturbing resemblance to communism, particularly in their mutual obsession with centralized control and the erosion of individual freedom. Both ideologies rally behind a powerful, overreaching government that dictates the contours of society. Democrats relentlessly push for sprawling federal programs, Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, or universal basic income, that require suffocating bureaucratic oversight.

Most Americans have no idea what the CIA has done in the name of democracy. The author of this article, Steve Kangas, was found shot to death in 1998, and ruled a suicide. Few believe that.

Politicians overreacted to the death of an 18-year-old tourist, Romanch Mahajan, believed to have been the first stemming from a horse carriage accident since the rides were introduced in Central Park more than 150 years ago, according to the labor union that represents the industry and the Central Park Conservancy. (That ''Seinfeld'' episode was a real gas.)

From 1961 to 1975, Hmong SGU veterans played a crucial role in supporting U.S. military efforts in Laos during the Vietnam War era. Recruited, financed, and supported by the Central Intelligence Agency where they were formed into a secret army known as the SGU and carried out critical paramilitary operations in support of the United States’ objectives in Laos. Approximately 35,000 SGU soldiers lost their lives while assisting the United States.

On July 15, 1799, a group of French soldiers during Napoleon Bonaparte’s military invasion of Egypt accidentally made a groundbreaking archaeological discovery. While working to strengthen the defenses of a sunbaked fort near the Nile Delta town of Rosetta (modern-day Rashid), they knocked down a wall and unearthed a 44-inch-long, 30-inch-wide chunk of black granodiorite.

''He built his own desk. Walnut, hand-cut, assembled with his own two hands — because long before he was a face on television, Andy Rooney was a man who liked making things and saying things plainly. But this story doesn't start at that desk. It starts seventeen thousand feet above Germany, in subzero air, aboard a bomber full of journalists who had no business being there.''

The battle for entry-level talent is getting expensive. And it’s starting before graduates even enter the workforce. Wall Street trading firm Susquehanna International Group is dangling an eye-popping offer for master’s and PhD interns: $8,600 a week—or $86,000 total over a 10-week summer program.

The Book of Judith contains numerous historical anachronisms, which is why many scholars now accept it as unreliable history — it has been considered a parable or perhaps the first historical novel.

Seeing what was happening, all the negative comments about a website maintained by one of his oldest (probably THE oldest as I approach 83 this Fall), the editor pulled the article and the snide comments about my programming ability. But, not before I saved the first few to ''The Wayback Machine''. Did these remarks upset me? Sure, I thought I was doing a good job with www.global-air.com for over 20 years, and I enjoy updating it nearly every day.

After the accident, reports of sightings of Captain Bob Loft and Flight Engineer Don Repo, both killed in the crash, began, all seemed to be on aircraft that had installed used parts from flight 402, a common practice then with airlines, but no longer, what happened with flight 402 put an end to that practice. On one flight, a captain was asked to check on a passenger traveling in first class who was wearing a pilot's uniform. The senior flight attendant said he was dazed and unresponsive when spoken to and was not on the passenger list. The captain reportedly recognized him as being none other than Bob Loft. Flight engineer Don Repo is also said to have appeared onboard flights in a strange, supernatural manner.

On another day, Don was reportedly seen sitting in the cockpit, warning the operating flight crew of a faulty electrical circuit, which was then found and replaced. There were also reports of Bob having been seen doing his pre-flight checks of the aircraft and telling the ground staff he'd already completed them. The pilot was reportedly unnerved by what had happened and canceled the flight.

Although Eastern Air Lines denied any supernatural events, the parts salvaged from the wreckage of Flight 401 are understood to have been removed from the airline's fleet and actually buried, and then the sightings came to an end.

Don't believe in ghosts? I didn't either until my wife and I bought a haunted house and I got a visit from the elderly lady who'd lived there and died years ago. An experience I'll never forget.
