Guglielmo Marconi
In December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi, a self-taught Italian inventor and pioneer of wireless telegraphy, stood on a blustery hilltop in Newfoundland and heard the faint, rhythmic taps of Morse code – the letter “S” – transmitted wirelessly from across the Atlantic.
It was the first time a radio signal had crossed an ocean, proving that long-distance wireless communication was possible.
His success sparked a global explosion of interest in wireless broadcasting. Amateur hobbyists began rigging up transmitters in garages and barns. Commercial ships installed radios for safety and navigation. News services started experimenting with real-time transmission. Continue reading
The Democrat left is now getting a taste of their own medicine. Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended for saying Charlie Kirk’s murderer was on the side of MAGA – a blatant lie. He’s now complaining about the loss of his free speech and many in the Democrat media are screaming the same thing. How times have changed. The Democrats had no problem endlessly repeating the Russia collusion lie that hurt Trump’s first term. The vile mendacity originated from a bitter Hillary Clinton. Bill Maher even made a urinating Russian prostitutes joke long after it was proven to be a vicious smear.
It’s been 25 years since my last opinion piece covering ADHD, ADD and prescription medications like Ritalin and Adderall. I thought I would never write another piece on this specific issue, but things have evolved since 1999. When I learned Illinois Governor Pritzker signed into law a new bill making it mandatory for yearly psychological exams on schoolchildren starting in 3rd grade, I had to write again on this issue. 
Almost one-third of government schools nationwide are now surveilling the mental health of students. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker recently signed a bill to bring “universal mental health screening” to two million Illinois students as part of his Children’s Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative. But this rescue effort will ravage many students and is a warning shot to parents across the nation. Manhattan Institute fellow Abigail Shrier warned that the new Illinois law will mean “tens of thousands of Illinois kids get shoved into the mental health funnel and convinced they are sick. Many or most will be false positives.”
If you’re not an experienced parent and maybe a little bit prone to overreaction, you too would rush your child to the emergency room when they suddenly developed a rash. You’re going to have to cough up a lot of cash to ultimately be prescribed a topical ointment you could’ve been told to get by an urgent care doctor, but that’s parenting. It happens.
US employers are bracing for the steepest jump in health insurance costs in at least 15 years, with premiums projected to climb nearly 10% next year — on top of years of already sharp increases.
Trump’s approval rating dropped to its lowest level of his second term in the YouGov/Economist poll released Tuesday.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has revealed an interconnected web of militant leftist groups. Shooter Tyler Robinson and his transgender partner, Lance Twiggs, are tied to Armed Queers SLC, which deleted its social media accounts immediately after the killing. Federal investigators are also probing Benjamin Song, the ex-Marine accused of leading the July ICE detention center attack, who connected the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club to both Armed Queers SLC and broader Antifa networks. Evidence of joint workshops, cross-state coordination, and BLM collaborations underscores how these radical factions trained, organized, and operated together.
Mexican Cartel Smugglers have long used traincars to move illegal aliens deeper into the US, but using trains for drug smuggling hasn’t been as common recently, although that appears to be changing.
PHOENIX — Gov. Katie Hobbs is cutting services to Arizonans with disabled children to protect “This program into the future for the families that need it.“
The lowest number of Americans in more than two decades said they are satisfied with K–12 education in the United States, according to a Walton Family Foundation-Gallup poll released on Sept. 16.
And so here I am again, looking at the direction of our country, as I all too regularly witness our enemies-from-within having their way with Her, simply because they absolutely refuse to abide by the normal social order and any of our laws or the constitution which raise their ire on any given day. Too many erroneously identify this as “politics as usual” when, in fact, it is anything but “as usual” and denotes a marked shift in everything about our country, Her people and what will probably occur in the aftermath of recent violent events – and what really should and must happen, if America is to survive as a republic for much longer.
US Senator Joseph McCarthy was in the middle of an otherwise boring speech at the Republican Women’s Club of Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9, 1950, when he pulled out a nondescript piece of paper from his jacket pocket.
