There wasn't much drama in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals, as the Boston Celtics drubbed the Dallas Mavericks 107-89 on Thursday. (Somehow that lopsided score belies just how dominant the Celtics were.) But that didn't stop one reporter from trying to stir up some drama on Saturday, during...

The roots of religion run deep in humanity. It is almost impossible to reconstruct the most ancient religious practices, but we can see hints of them in strange cave paintings and bone carvings. We cannot know what these objects truly meant to people thousands of years ago, and much that our ancestors made as an […] The post 10 Creepy Ancient Wooden Idols appeared first on Listverse.

Nellie Bowles is an old-fashioned journalist, the type who wants to actually experience for herself the events she reports on. In her new book, “Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History,” Bowles chronicles going to Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where anarchy reigned during the summer of 2020. She attends anti-racism trainings. She writes about what it was like to be a reporter for the New York Times who was trying to be a good journalist, and how she was forced to consult a “disinformation expert” to change her reporting. Bowles, a lesbian and a former Hillary Clinton booster, also chronicles her own evolution as she reports.

The CEO of a film studio startup said Hollywood’s divisive left-wing content has created an artistic opening for the conservative movement—one that he plans to exploit.   Christian McGuigan, founder of Sycamore Studios, described what he sees as a growing need for “good, true, and beautiful” storytelling in an interview with Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts.  McGuigan pointed to the controversial LGBTQ agenda inserted into recent Disney productions that preceded billions of dollars in losses for the company. “Even folks on the Left are saying, ‘This is not age-appropriate,’” he told Roberts. “So what we saw with Sycamore was the opportunity to say, ‘What if there was a brand that was trusted by audiences, that had a values-based trust with audiences, but also made really high-quality content?’” “We have not prioritized culture,” McGuigan said, adding that too many conservatives prioritize “complaining about culture.”  “If we can stop complaining about culture and actually start creating it,” McGuigan argued, conservatives will “win the day.”  Watch the full Interview on “The Kevin Roberts Show” podcast below and hear the Texas-based entrepreneur discuss his studio’s upcoming films and his quest to “move culture,” not just complain about it:  The post How a New Film Studio Aims to Counter Left-Wing Hollywood appeared first on The Daily Signal.

For months, Democrats have predicted that a guilty verdict in the controversial New York hush money trial would doom former President Donald Trump’s reelection hopes. Instead, new polling data from Scott Rasmussen suggests there is “no measurable impact.” Rasmussen’s polling firm, RMG Research, had both Trump and President Joe Biden tied at 42% in its poll immediately preceding the May 30 verdict. Following the conviction, Trump gained a percentage point, leading 43% to Biden’s 42%. “[T]he conviction of Donald Trump in a New York courtroom had no measurable impact on Election 2024,” Rasmussen wrote in a memo shared with The Daily Signal. “Survey results following the conviction are virtually identical to results preceding the conviction.” Rasmussen first unveiled his findings Sunday on Merit Street Media’s “The Scott Rasmussen Show.” Meanwhile, the percentage of voters who viewed Trump as less ethical than other politicians remained the same before and after the jury’s decision to convict him on 34 counts. “This suggests any baggage carried by the president has long since been baked into the public’s assessment of him,” Rasmussen wrote in his memo. “In other words, the jury decision wasn’t news that surprised anyone.” Also working in Trump’s favor: A majority of Americans, 52%, think his conviction will be overturned on appeal. Less than a third, 32%, disagree. >>> Social Media Message Could Doom Trump NYC Verdict—If It’s True (And That’s a BIG IF) Biden’s ethical lapses—and potential criminal behavior—are a factor contributing to the latest poll numbers, Rasmussen wrote. More than half, 51%, believe Biden committed crimes that could put him in court once he leaves office. Another 41% say Biden is less ethical than most politicians. More than 6 in 10 voters, 62%, want the audio tapes from Robert Hur’s interview of Biden to be released to Congress, including 45% of Democrats. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, Judicial Watch, and CNN are suing the Justice Department for access to the recordings. In a recent development, the Justice Department admitted to altering the Biden transcript by removing “filler words” such as “um” or “uh.” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said that “the transcript is not accurate and was changed in a way to help Biden.” >>> Amid New Cognitive Questions, Edits to Biden Transcript Color Lawsuit Over Recording An overwhelming number of Americans agree: Upon being told of the edited transcript, 69% said Congress should have the opportunity to review Biden’s interview to confirm its accuracy. Nearly two-thirds, 65%, think the Biden tapes contain embarrassing statements, while 59% believe the audio’s public release would harm Biden’s reelection bid. The RMG Research polling data on Trump’s trial is from a June 3-4 survey of 1,000 registered voters; it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The data on Biden’s audio tapes is from a June 5-6 survey of 1,000 registered voters; it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

This 2017 satellite photo shows an unusual cloud "cyclone" nestled up against the coastline of Spain and Portugal. Researchers are unsure what caused the strange structure's spin, but ocean eddies and an extreme heat wave likely played key roles.
