NEW FRONTIERS IN LOOKING FOR ALIENS: Warp Drive Collapse Should Generate Gravitational Waves, Theoretical Astrophysicists Claim. “Even though warp drives are purely theoretical, they have a well-defined description in Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and so numerical simulations allow us to explore the impact they might have on spacetime in the form of gravitational waves. . . . The results are fascinating. The collapsing warp drive generates a distinct burst of gravitational waves, a ripple in spacetime that could be detectable by gravitational wave detectors that normally target black hole and neutron star mergers.”
MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: You can tell it’s a working-class election by Harris and Walz’s dishonesty and lies.

The corporate media's mission, as they see it, is to help Kamala win, not denounce her for refusing to sit down in interviews and explain what she thinks about anything or why.
Even though she told TIME to f off, they still published hagiography of her:https://t.co/TjZ782Uf0s

UPDATE:
KJP just claimed that Biden supports "No Tax on Tips"
If that's true, then why did his IRS start cracking down on tips?
Why wouldn't he eliminate tax on tips right now?
Democrats will literally lie about anything.

WE ALL NEED ONE OF THESE, RIGHT? A .308 Win. rifle that packs away into a briefcase. “The Accountant isn’t just a rifle, however; it’s a complete rifle system that is fully contained in a locking leather briefcase. Custom-fit foam inside the briefcase ensures that the rifle is protected during transport.”

MORE PREDICTABLE NONSENSE FROM LEFTY ACADEMICS: New president of American Assn. of University Professors: J.D. Vance is ‘fascist.’ He’s “a Rutgers University anthropologist whose research ‘is a mixture of traditional and cyber-based ethnography.'”
Flashback: Why the left keeps smearing its political rivals as Hitlers or Mussolinis.
THAT’S BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG: Federal judges who refused to hire Columbia grads are cleared of misconduct charges: ‘As judges who hire law clerks every year to serve in the federal judiciary, we have lost confidence in Columbia as an institution of higher education. Columbia has instead become an incubator of bigotry,’ they wrote. Well, yes.
DON SURBER: The Media Support Censorship.
IT’S NOT ONLY KAMALA WHO WON’T ENGAGE: Sunday Show lineup: “That’s a lot of Vance, and there was no one from the Democratic side of the presidential campaign. For the Democrats, there were only 2 Senators (Klobuchar & Sanders), the Governor of Kansas, the Transportation Secretary, and a member of the House of Representatives. Why can’t we hear from the Democratic campaign? They’re still putting their ideas together and ironing out past inconsistencies? Are they in no shape to face serious questions? Or do they simply see that they’re doing awfully well running on ‘joy’ and not-Biden-not-Trumpness so there’s no reason to change.”
Certainly no reason in terms of media scrutiny.
