James Carville makes shocking prediction that Trump’s presidency could end early if Democrats sweep the midterms

Published by Sam Flores

Democratic strategist James Carville predicts that Donald Trump’s presidency could end early if the Democrats sweep the midterm elections. In an expletive-laden video on the Politicon YouTube channel posted earlier this week, Carville said if the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, they will launch investigations into Trump and his family, which will eventually lead to the president’s resignation. “The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end,” Carville said. “Then they’re going to go after your stupid, jacka** kids and their spouses.” Carville did not explain for which potential offenses Trump and his family may be investigated. But he did warn that the president could commit war crimes in the conflict against Iran as it continues.

I turned on spatial audio in my Echo Studio and the difference was shocking

I turned on spatial audio in my Echo Studio and the difference was shocking

Published by skeptic

I’m a heavy user of Amazon’s Echo ecosystem (and there’s power in owning more than one), and lately, Alexa has gotten a huge upgrade with Alexa Plus, which has literally changed my life. But something people don’t give Amazon enough credit for, especially with the Echo Studio line, is the incredible sound quality, especially when you enable and properly set up spatial audio on compatible Amazon Echo devices. This spatial audio feature is usually off by default, and you should really start using it because, with compatible audio sources, the audio experience can be truly breathtaking with vast sound stages and incredible dynamic range (the Echo Studio has seven beam-forming microphones it uses to “listen” to how sound behaves in your room, and can adjust its output to create a feeling of depth and space in your music). Let’s dive into how to get the most out of your Amazon Echos by properly setting up spatial audio. What is spatial audio?

The Shocking Speed of China’s Scientific Rise

The Shocking Speed of China’s Scientific Rise

Published by José Betancourt

If China finally eclipses the United States as the world’s preeminent scientific superpower, there won’t be an official announcement. Neither will there necessarily be a dramatic Promethean demonstration, a bomb flash in the desert, a satellite beeping overhead, a moon landing. It will be a quiet moment, observed by a small, specialized subset of scientists who have forsaken the study of the stars, animals, and plants in favor of a more navel-gazing subject: the practice of science itself. This moment may now be at hand. American science has been the envy of the planet since the Second World War at least, but it has recently gone into decline. After President Trump took office last year, his administration started vandalizing the country’s scientific institutions, suspending research grants in bulk and putting entire lines of cutting-edge research on ice. In August, Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services canceled $500 million in mRNA-vaccine research, less than two years after Americans won a Nobel Prize for pioneering that technology. More than 10,000 science Ph.D.s have left the federal …

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will be moving to Marsh Farm (Image: Getty Images) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is set to move into Marsh Farm soon, with renovations nearly complete. Andrew has been living in Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate ever since his eviction from Royal Lodge. He has been waiting for renovations to be carried out at his future property, including the installation of a tall security fence, landscaping, new carpets and a Sky TV dish. Vehicles from Gander & White, which specialises in transporting fine art and has a royal warrant, have also been spotted outside of the property. His exact move-in date is unknown, but Andrew is said to have not been satisfied with the small five-bedroom property, much smaller than his 30-bedroom Royal Lodge.

The shocking fossils that show T. rex wasn’t the king of the dinosaurs

The shocking fossils that show T. rex wasn’t the king of the dinosaurs

Published by skeptic

When you come for the king, you best not miss – particularly if the king in question is a 9-tonne dinosaur with the biggest teeth of any known land predator in history. “Tyrannosaurus rex: the tyrant lizard king. That name is so cool, and it’s just developed tremendous loyalty,” says Greg Paul, an independent dinosaur researcher based in Maryland. “There’s even a rock band named for the animal.” Decades of settled science suggest the famous dinosaur was so formidable that it had a stranglehold on its ecosystem. It wasn’t just an apex predator; it was the apex predator of its time, having out-muscled everything else. Late last year, however, a small number of palaeontologists attempted to cut T. rex down to size. Based on incredible new fossils, they argued that the so-called king actually coexisted with at least two other tyrannosaurs – meaning it was just one hunter among several that stalked North America in the dying days of the Mesozoic Era. When these scientists came for the king, they didn’t miss. Just months after …

“The Numbers Are Shocking”: California Faces Scrutiny Over Hospice Fraud

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Tom Gantert via The Epoch Times, Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, posted an Instagram video this week detailing ongoing fraud among hospice and health care facilities in Los Angeles County. Investigations have focused on Los Angeles County, where officials said state regulators did little to stop fraud.  Investigators believe that the start of the hospice fraud can be traced as far back as 2010. “The normalization of hospice fraud in California has to stop,” Oz said in his Instagram video while standing in front of one of the Los Angeles County homes that served as a hospice. “The numbers are shocking.” Here’s what to know about the ongoing fraud scandal and how it is being addressed. How Do Hospice Schemes Work? Oz described in his video how the people running that particular hospice allegedly enrolled six individuals into their program. The patients in the facility allegedly weren’t dying but were put on hospice so the owners of the business could charge Medicare for providing care. The …
