That’s not only strange bedfellows – it’s miscegenation! The issue, of course, is that the Presidential test has always been an incorruptible assessment of the physical fitness of our nation’s youth. Even today, to get the cherished “Presidential” medal, an 11-year-old boy has to do 47 sit-ups in a minute, complete six pull-ups, stretch his fingers four inches beyond his toes from a sitting position, run a mile in an astonishing 7:32, and complete something called a “shuttle run”–sprint 30 feet in one direction, pick up a small block, run back, release the block, run back, pick up another block, race back to the starting line–in just 10 seconds....

For the next 60 hours, Safran stood at the game, zapping alien ships, pulverizing asteroids and sparingly using his “Hyperspace” button en route to ringing up a new world record score: 41,336,440. To put that score in perspective, imagine Barry Bonds hitting 90 home runs this season, breaking his own record by 17. Imagine Takeru Kobayashi eating 75 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes on July 4 in the Nathan’s contest in Coney Island, besting his prior mark by 25....

“It was like something out of a horror movie,” the mother of the family wrote on Facebook on Friday. The Facebook post has since been liked by about 50,000 people.

Lauren Kennedy Brady told WNCN-TV, a Raleigh-based television news station, that she, her mother, daughter and niece traveled to Africa to achieve one of her “bucket list” goals after the COVID-19 pandemic stalled her original plans.

On Tuesday, diver Karl Bly spotted two pacific lampreys in the American River, which runs for 30 miles from the Sierra Nevada mountains to where it meets Sacramento River. He wrote on Facebook that this is the second lamprey he has seen in 30 years. “It looks like some sea creature from the deep,” Bly said. These jawless, parasitic eel-like fish are characterized by their large sucking disk mouth, which features sharp teeth on a tongue that resembles a file....

A recent viral video shows Willoughby being harassed on the streets of Philadelphia. In the video, Willoughby is carrying a plastic bag when a group of men start mocking him for dating a trans woman.

The grassroots Stand Up America group accused President Donald Trump of being an “existential threat to our democracy” after he refused to say that he would willingly accept defeat during an interview with Fox News on Sunday. “I’m not gonna just say yes. I’m not gonna say it, and I didn’t last time either,” Trump said, in reference to comments he made during a 2016 televised debate alongside Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton....

But last week Democrats said no. Rather than work together—something two-thirds of Americans say they want—Senate Democrats rammed through a partisan COVID-19 relief budget on a party-line vote during the early hours of Friday morning. With this blatantly partisan process, which included stripping out bipartisan policies in the dead of night, it seems inevitable that congressional Democrats will pursue a COVID-19 package that caters to the most radical elements of their base instead of focusing on the needs of the American people....

Now, Campa-Najjar, who isrunning against indicted Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter, tells Newsweek that his view has greatly changed of al-Najjar — his grandfather. “I condemned him because I presumed — I accepted the premise that my grandfather was absolutely the mastermind or involved in the Munich attack.

The T-rex scene from the first Jurassic Park continues to be iconic for a number of reasons. People still praise its visuals due to the talented VFX artists possessing a keen understanding of how important lighting is. But even aside from that, director Steven Spielberg and his crew shot the whole sequence in such a way that its suspenseful terror still resonates to this day. So when somebody else decided to swap in a giant fluffy kitty for the vicious reptile (with surprisingly believable effects), the juxtaposition alone provides for one heck of a satisfying whiplash....
