It's often said that there's a fine line between genius and madness, and history makes it clear how difficult it is for most people to tell the difference. It's easy to take certain ideas like handwashing, and the shape of the Solar System for granted after widespread understanding of them has taken hold for hundreds of years. But both of these concepts were considered revolutionary and even... Source

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Almost three-fourths of voters say it should be illegal to subject children to transgender medical interventions, according to a new poll from Napolitan News Service. The percentage of voters surveyed who oppose child sex changes—which include so-called puberty blockers, hormone regimens, and irreversible surgeries—increased by 10 points since August. The majority of those in both major political parties say they oppose allowing minors to attempt to change their gender, the poll found. The 72% of Americans who oppose child gender transitions includes 86% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats. This survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online Wednesday by veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen, president of RMG Research Inc. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Rasmussen’s survey comes after an election in which transgenderism was a key issue for many Americans. Voters said one top reason they didn’t vote for Vice President Kamala Harris was that she was “too focused on cultural issues rather than helping the middle class,” according to polling from Democratic research group Blueprint. According to Napolitan News Service, 68% of voters surveyed said they think public schools shouldn’t teach lessons on radical gender ideology. Less than 20% said they think lessons about changing genders should be taught in schools. At Newton Public Schools in Massachusetts, parents can’t opt their kids out of “sexuality” and “gender identity” lessons that begin in kindergarten, The Daily Signal reported. “While parents/guardians/caregivers may opt out of the health curriculum specifically related to sexualreproduction, our commitment to gender and sexuality education remains firm,” the Newton school system’s guidelines document says. “Our curriculum aligns with state guidelines to promote understanding and inclusion of diverse identities and orientations.” NEW: Newton, Massachusetts, parents can't opt their kids out of "sexuality" and "gender identity" lessons starting in kindergarten.This came to light after a parent posted on Facebook that she was not allowed to exempt her elementary schooler from "Transgender Awareness Week"… pic.twitter.com/KyHsvy5bG7— Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell (@TheElizMitchell) November 15, 2024 If a student wants to change his name, gender, and pronouns, 73% of voters surveyed by Rasmussen said, they believe the student’s parents should be notified. California passed a law over the summer banning schools from requiring teachers to notify parents if their child wants to transition. If, after being notified, parents don’t support their child’s changing his or her name, pronouns, and gender at school, almost 70% of voters said teachers should respect parents’ wishes. Throughout the 2024 election season, Republicans slammed Democrats’ support for transgenderism, and several Democrats flip-flopped on or scaled back their stances. For instance, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr., D-Texas, released an ad saying he “never supported sex changes” after an ad campaign by the National Republican Congressional Committee slammed him for effectively supporting “sex changes for kids.” In 2021, Gonzalez voted for the Equality Act, which would have allowed children to be taken away from their parents if the parents didn’t support them in identifying as another gender. Although Harris dodged questions of whether she supports so-called gender-affirming care for kids, President-elect Donald Trump has promised to ban such treatments for children without parental consent. Shortly before the election, The Daily Signal asked Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, whether a Trump-Vance administration would ban “puberty blockers,” hormone treatments, and irreversible surgeries for minors in all cases, regardless of parental involvement. “I think sex changes for minors, permanently altering, either chemically or surgically, the body of young child, is crazy,” Vance, now the Republican vice president-elect, said. “I can’t believe that we do this. I really can’t.” I asked Sen. JD Vance if he would ban sex changes for minors. “I think sex change minors, permanently altering, either chemically or surgically, the body of young child, is crazy,” he told @DailySignal. pic.twitter.com/36h6hx8X6y— Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell (@TheElizMitchell) October 29, 2024 In a 2023 video, Trump promised to “pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.” “The left-wing gender insanity being pushed at our children is an act of child abuse,” Trump said. “Very simple. Here’s my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.” Donald Trump's plan to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of America's youth.1.

Time and time again, dogs prove to us that their loyalty to their hoomans knows no bounds – even after death. And in another display of their loyalty to us, a pet dog helped uncover the 2023 murder of her owner and lent a helping paw to the police in identifying the woman’s killer. Mandy Rose Reynolds, a 26-year-old woman from Idaho, was “burned beyond recognition” on April 05, 2023. According to the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office’s press release, when Robinsons Police responded to the incident, they found a dog near the brush fire. The press release described the dog as “a white dog which barked frantically at officers and refused to leave the area of the body, but also refused to allow police to capture it.” After evading capture, the dog remained in the area, even after the body had been removed. The press release reveals, “a citizen found the dog sitting at the spot the burning body had been the night before.” The citizen then notified Animal Control of the dog, which then discovered the dog, named Titan, was microchipped and belonged to Reynolds. Photo credit: McLennan County District Attorney’s Office Thanks to Titan’s microchip information, Robinsons Police started suspecting that the burned body belonged to Reynolds. The police then found that the victim lives in San Marcos, Texas. “Police in San Marcos were contacted and officers there went to Reynolds’ residence to look for her.” Upon entering Reynolds’ apartment, the police found it completely empty, with her possessions removed and her car, a black Honda Accord, missing. The police then ran Reynolds’s vehicle through a license plate reader database and discovered that the car was somewhere in Wichita, Kansas. On April 08, 2023, Wichita Police officers spotted Reynolds’ car and attempted to pull it over. It then led into a high speed chase that ended up in a car crash. The driver of the car tried to flee the crash to a nearby grocery store. Luckily, the police caught the driver, revealing it to be Reynolds’ cousin and killer, Derek Daigneault. Inside Reynolds’ car, they found a .380 handgun, which matched the .380 shell casing that was found on the scene. Furthermore, Robinsons Police determined that, after dying from a gunshot wound to the head, Reynolds’ body was burned inside a large plastic storage container. After a year of investigation, the case finally comes to a close on November 07, 2024, when Daigneault, 29, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his cousin, Mandy Rose Reynolds. Assistant District Attorneys Ryan Calvert and Alyssa Killin said, “The keys to this case were a heroic and loyal dog named Titan and extraordinary cooperation between law enforcement agencies in multiple jurisdictions and states.” “That combination has delivered justice for Mandy and safety from a violent and dangerous criminal,” the Assistant District Attorneys continued.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake stays extremely faithful to the classic, only adding a few quality-of-life improvements to appeal to a modern audience.

While barebones in hindsight, the first Dragon Quest was the title that introduced JRPGs to the world. It featured a lonely adventurer saving the day.

In Black Ops 6, you can bring a weapon into the Zombies mode, meaning every single one in the game is on the table. You are no longer limited to what is on the wall or in the Mystery Box. However, you can only bring one weapon, so you must make tough decisions.
