Fox News recently released a poll that, on one hand, confirmed what we already knew. But, on the other hand, it also shined light on some new truth. What did it confirm? It confirmed that the under-30 crowd is more prone to beliefs that indict our country to its core than is any other age group. Thirty-nine percent of people under the age of 30 would describe our Founding Fathers as “heroes,” while 31 percent would describe them as “villains....

So why all the fuss over a tropical island just 30 miles long, known mainly for its white-sand beaches and glorious sunsets? The answer: the Pentagon has begun a major redeployment of U.S. forces in the region, pulling troops and equipment out of sometimes unreliable allies and beefing up its presence in more-congenial locales. First on its list is Guam, a U.S. territory since 1898 that is fast becoming the linchpin of Washington’s new Asia strategy....

“There is nothing I know of in the natural environment that is 100-percent pure,” said Gerald Groenewold, a University of North Dakota energy researcher who worked on the power plant project. Maybe he was just making excuses for an imperfect electrostatic precipitator system, but Groenewold said. “I have never seen perfection–but then again, I’ve never been to Iraq,” That’s clear, because had Groenewold visited the country last week, he would’ve finally gotten a glimpse of that elusive notion of perfection....

Do I know what the hell I’m talking about? Of course not! I’m a normal American like you, who leaves the nuts and bolts of my investments–a little nest egg I used to call “The Gersh Kuntzman Retirement Fund,” but now call “The Gersh Kuntzman Tuesday Night Bowling Money Fund”–to professionals who apparently have even less of a clue about what to do with my money than I do....

Severe cracks can affect air pressure within the cabin, so fire crews and paramedics were waiting for the plane as it landed at 3:54 p.m. on Monday, April 18. The American Airlines flight 3130, with 54 passengers plus crew on board, had left Phoenix, Arizona, bound for Humboldt County, California. It was flying over the Golden State when pilots reported the fissure in the glass as they approached the skies above Mono Lake....

Security services are said to have been the first on the scene to find the unidentified 60-year-old inside a room in the Al-Haram area in Giza, outside Cairo. Investigators believe the man was last seen accompanied by his girlfriend to his hotel room, Sada Al-Arab reported.

With more than 600,000 views, the video by user fabandquirky was first shared on April 10. The American driver reveals what it is like to drive in the U.K., calling it “absolutely terrifying.” As memorably demonstrated by Cameron Diaz in the 2006 movie The Holiday, drivers in the U.K. drive on the left side of the road, and are also seated on the opposite side of the car. The American ex-pat posted the video of her drive down a British country lane and said: “This is what it’s like driving in the U....

Only this teenager may not be a lock to be a senior U.S. international if Mexico has any say in the matter. That teenager is Jonathan Gonzalez, who lines up in the central midfield for the team currently top of Liga MX, Monterrey. He has played in eight of the club’s nine games, starting seven of them, as well as starting two Copa MX contests. The California-born Gonzalez’s performance at a young age may have caught the eyes Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio....

The upper chamber of Congress broke for recess last month with no deal in place for a relief package amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, with bipartisan talks between Democratic figureheads and White House representatives subsequently stalling. Stimulus checks have support across both sides of the aisle, as well as between both Democrat and Republican voters, and President Donald Trump has also voiced his backing for their distribution. But while this key aspect has been a point of agreement, other factors and costs have posed hurdles to a wide proposal likely to pass the House and the Senate respectively....

Canadian officials on Monday are set to re-open the U.S.-Canada border to American citizens and permanent U.S. residents who can show proof they are fully vaccinated. The ensuing end of the 17-month pandemic border closure came with a warning and new public health restrictions for air travelers, including threats of a $750,000 fine or prison time for a failure to comply. Canada Border Services Agency announced that those coming into the country must prove they’ve been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days, show a negative, non-antigen COVID-19 test, and be asymptomatic at the time of crossing....

Political tradition requires office-seekers to sing the praises of their fellow countrymen and to declare their love of country. The DNC speakers largely followed that tradition—when they were not gutting it. America is a “great nation,” Biden said on Thursday night, adding also that “we are a good and decent people.” Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris asked God to bless the America that “we love.” Former First Lady Michelle Obama had come to the podium, she said, “because I love this country with all my heart....

Public support for the death penalty in murder cases is at its lowest point since 1972, based on annual U.S. polling from Gallup, which found in October that 56 percent of the people surveyed said they support capital punishment—down from its peak 80 percent in Gallup’s 1994 survey. Over the same period, the push to end the death penalty has gained traction among a mixed-bag of supporters, including fiscal conservatives, religious adherents, criminal justice reform advocates and others....

Duke senior Amile Jefferson will not return to the court this season, the team announced in a press release on Saturday afternoon. He sustained a fracture in his right foot in December and has been sidelined ever since. MORE: Ranking the best Duke-UNC games Team doctors had initially put Jefferson’s timeline for recovery at about two months, and the 6-9 forward was in and out of a walking boot for the last several weeks....

Klobuchar, who has endorsed Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, published a Medium post revealing the family’s news, noting the emotional toll her husband’s infection was taking on her. The Minnesota senator pointed out that she is not able to be by her husband’s side, as he has been quarantined. “I have news that many Americans are facing right now: my husband John has the coronavirus. We just got the test results at 7 a....

Or was he really trying? Scholars have been baffled by the purpose and results of Heisenberg’s visit. Frayn’s play takes place in some great beyond after the death of the protagonists, including a third figure, Bohr’s wife, Margrethe (Blair Brown). The three meet again to try to relive that possibly fateful meeting. Was Heisenberg trying to pump Bohr on the state of Allied research on the atomic bomb? Was he trying to enlist Bohr in an attempt to make sure that both sides would never succeed in making the bomb?...

It’s not new, but fans along the glass and in other high-profile areas can’t wear stuff “branded with the name, logo, or registered mark(s) of the then-current 2015-2016 playoff opponent of the Lightning." Again: It’s soft, but not that big a deal. The Lightning are a privately owned company running an event, and they can decide who wears what. It’s not a first-amendment issue. It’s just corny; Tampa Bay is protecting the sensibilities of their richest customers at all cost....

Because the French state is being restructured in preparation for the rigors of European Monetary Union, due to be introduced in 1999. To be in the first wave of countries to use the single currency, nations have to reduce their budget deficits to no more than 3 percent of GDP. Chirac’s government has slashed subsidies and benefits; but France has an unemployment rate of nearly 13 percent, so this has been roundly hated....

As a two-term, 10 year mayor of Vò, he’s seen the ongoing health crises from both medical and municipal sides. “The pharmacy has become a municipality desk for people who have problems, he said on a recent Wednesday. “If they need something, they write what they need and I put the bits of paper in my pockets … then when I come up to the town hall we deal with them....

Why It Works During his veep run in 1952, facing illegal campaign donation charges, Nixon said in his “Checkers speech” that he would stay put, silencing calls for him to step aside. With her nomination hopes dimming, Clinton has similarly turned the pressure on her to quit into a display of her willingness to tough it out. Why It Doesn’t There’s a big moral difference between weathering self-inflicted scandals and fighting back for the chance to win a still-unresolved election....
