Former Vice President Kamala Harris hasn't announced that she's running for president in 2028, but anyone paying attention can see she's planning to mount her third straight challenge for the White House. Appearing at the National Urban League Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Kamala announced an overhaul of American democracy and the Constitution, one that could lead to a Democratic Supreme Court advantage, an elimination of the Electoral College, and packing both House and Senate with new Democrats.

Interest in Harris' familial background and race was reignited in 2024, when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested that Harris has misled voters about her racial and ethnic identity. ''I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black?'' Trump asked during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.

Use on September 28th:

The violence continued for over two weeks, with white mobs attacking the black community, ultimately killing 200-300 Black people as well as at lease 6 white Republican allies. After the massacre, many Black families and almost all Republican white families fled the area, or stopped voting, leaving Opelousas a solid Democrat-run area for decades. In the 1868 presidential election Republican candidate Ulysses S. Grant did not get a single vote.

Use August 19th:

The Dieppe Raid was a clear lesson on how not to carry out beach landings. The failures and lessons learned from it greatly affected the planning and operation of the later Normandy Landings some two years later, and ultimately helped contribute to D-Day’s success.

Hearst grasped onto the Cuban revolt against Spain in 1895. His paper regularly published stories sympathetic to the still sparse revolutionary cause and describing in great detail real and rumored atrocities of the Spanish. Hearst hoped to spark U.S. intervention in Cuba and was persistent in finding ways to achieve it.

Built by the White Star Line, the RMS Titanic was the largest ship entering service in 1912. White Star was in competition with Cunard Cruise Line for dominance over the Atlantic passage. Cunard focused on speed. The Titanic prioritized size and comfort. Like modern cruise ships, the Titanic wanted to be the biggest and most awe-inspiring vessel out there.

In the mid-20th century, launching satellites into space helped us determine the exact circumference of the Earth: 24,873 miles. But 2000 years earlier, a man in Ancient Greece came up with nearly the exact same figure using just a couple of sticks and his brain.

A calendar year with three Fridays the 13th comes around more often than you might think. It has already happened twice this century, in 2009 and 2015. For those of you unburdened by gnosiophobia (a fear of knowledge), here is a closer look at this quirk of the calendar.

This website delves into a curated list of 20 significant historical events that transpired on this day, presented in chronological order. From pivotal political changes and groundbreaking scientific achievements to noteworthy cultural milestones, each event is explored in detail.

Use July 17th:

Over forty years later, the failure of the skywalks at the Hyatt Regency Hotel is still the most devastating structural collapse in U.S. history. (The June 2021 condo collapse in Surfside, Florida, killed 98 people.) The disaster went on to be studied in engineering classrooms and at conferences. The causes and effects of the failure, as well as the preventive measures that could have stopped it from happening at all, create a disturbing case study of negligence.

Spring brings with it the welcome return of warmer temperatures to much of the United States. On the mainland, Florida is the go-to warm place to visit in March or April, while Hawaii is as reliably sun-soaked as ever.

If you think you understand a topic, try explaining it to someone. This may prove you don't know as much about it as you thought. How Leap Year works is a lot more complicated than you think.

Have you ever wondered how you would look if you were a yellow character like the ones you see on TV?

This is the story of the only successful overthrow of a domestic government in American history. Once generally referred to as a ''riot'', the events of 1898 in Wilmington, North Carolina are now more widely understood to have been a massacre of its African American citizens, and the overthrow of an elected government.

Use on first week of August:

Uncle Jay had a unique and entertaining way of making today's news comprehensible to the innocent, the ignorant and the immature. Also children. Jay kept it simple, so even the famous people he talked about could follow along.

''Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit,'' a tradition uttered on the first day of the month to bring forth positive luck, has a captivating past. It is believed that if one utters those words prior to any other on the very first day of a fresh month then good luck would prevail during the next thirty days.

August 5th:

The Battle of Mobile Bay is perhaps most famous for Admiral Farragut's immortal words, ''Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!'' When Farragut's flagship, the USS Hartford, faced a line of torpedoes (naval mines) as they sailed into the bay, he understood the risks but chose to press forward.

The Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, houses five world-class museums, all under one roof.

My wife and I traveled the country for about 10 years in our motorhome. It was a wonderful part of my life. From 2021: Buffalo Gap National Grasslands

From 2018: Early newspapers in America were run by political parties, swaying news to fit their purpose, and that editorial bias is still here on the editorial page. While a paper may endorse one candidate or another, the news content is generally impartial, with some exceptions. Cable and satellite news can be very much one way or the other, the prime example may be Rupert Murdock's Fox News Network. When Bill Clinton was president, CNN was often referred to as the "Clinton News Network" because of the favorable reporting in that direction.

There is a difference between a Nomad and a full-time RVer.

Follow us as we travel around in our motorhome.

I've always considered myself a full-time RVer, not a Nomad, there is a difference. Full-timers generally have a decent RV, equipped with all the conveniences. Nomads tend to travel in older panel vans without any modern conveniences, but they learn to get by. More

Febuary 2, 2026: On Monday morning at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania Punxsutawney, the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. According to the legend, six more weeks of winter are on the way.

The ''Obama'' movie never happened, but can show would could. Whitewashing in film isn't anything new. In 1921, Italian-American Rudolph Valentino played an Arab in The Sheik. Three years after that, Douglas Fairbanks did the same in The Thief of Baghdad. Most movies that changed a character's race are entirely fictional, and while the systemic racism on display in this practice is intensely problematic, it's not nearly as heinous or brazen as when it happens in movies based on real events.
