German newspaper Bild has emphatically apologized for reporting an article it ran claiming women had been sexually assaulted in Frankfurt on New Year’s Eve by a “rioting sex mob” of Arab refugees. According to Bild, the accusations are baseless, and neither police reports from that night nor an investigation following the report turned up any  evidence to support the claims made by alleged “victims.”

“The editorial staff of Bild emphatically apologizes for this untrue report and the allegations that it made against those concerned. This reporting in no way reflects the journalistic standards of Bild,” the paper said.   Continue reading “Fake News Alert: Viral Story About Refugee Sex Mob Was Completely Fabricated”

They register their children for Mexican citizenship, just in case they are sent back and decide to move their whole family with them.   Continue reading “Mexican Consulates Flooded With Fearful Immigrants”

The reason we humans – well, some of us – excel at abstract thinking and can solve complex math equations is that, while hard at work evolving, we took care of growing seriously big brains for ourselves.

The thing is that, thanks to Duke University scientists, it could happen that, one day, other creatures will too get to enjoy the perks of having a huge brain. That’s right, we’re talking super brainy mice, cats, dogs and whatnot.   Continue reading “Human DNA Used to Grow Mice with Abnormally Large Brains (2015)”

You have been taught to worship “tree trade” as the greatest blessing for the wealth of nations. Let me show you how greatly deceived you have been.

The United States and other countries has people capable of producing most of the goods and services, the food, clothing, housing, furniture, appliances, schools, literature, art, infrastructure, machines and so forth that it needs. People are willing to work, to acquire the skills, to invent, to add to scientific knowledge, to teach, to manage, to extract resources from nature, to build, and to contribute the entrepreneurship which fits production to demand.

The legislation is the second Trump has signed into law ending an Obama-era environmental regulation. On Tuesday, he signed a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution undoing a financial disclosure requirement for energy companies.   Continue reading “Trump signs bill undoing Obama coal mining rule”
