Frank Biden: President's Health 'Absolutely' Played a Role in Biden Leaving Race

A scientific report has been published on the archaeological significance of the Juukan 2 rock shelter, four years after it was destroyed to make way for mining. We will never know what treasures were remaining to be found at the shelter, but the study of the items extracted previously gives some idea of how much the site could tell.In 2013, ministerial approval was granted for mining company Rio Tinto to destroy Juukan Gorge to get at more of the Hamersley Plateau’s vast resources of iron ore. The next year, two sites in the Gorge, known as Juukan 1 and 2, were found to contain evidence of human visitation dating back 46,000 years. This included thousands of artifacts from the last 28,000 years, when the site was inhabited more frequently.Neither Western Australian nor national legislation allowed for the approval to be reversed in light of the new information. Rio Tinto wasn’t about to pass up the profits available and blew up the gorge in May 2020, In the meantime, archaeologists continued to analyze the previously collected items, leading to the new publication showing just how rich Juukan 2 was.The new paper pushes the date at which Juukan 2 was first visited by people back a further thousand years and provides much more detail on the lives of the people who used it in that time.“Late Pleistocene populations utilised a diverse range of tool technologies, including bone points, grindstones, and flaked stone artefacts. Palaeoclimatic conditions at Juukan 2 rockshelter varied greatly over the past 47 [thousand years], with repeated site visits by people, including during the peak hyper-arid phase of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)” the authors write. “Ancient starch analyses of the ground stone artefacts show the processing of Ipomoea (Bush Potato) from around 42 [thousand years ago] to the present day.”Part of Juukan Gorge’s significance is that the two shelters were the only known Australian sites that carried evidence of continued occupation through the last ice age that were not near the coast. Nevertheless, use appears to have been sparce until the climate warmed up, and much of the continental shelf further north was overwhelmed by rising seas. Artifacts at Juukan 2 from the last 3,500 years are much more abundant than older ones, to an extent that is unlikely to reflect better preservation alone, according to the new research. One item is thought to have been part of a hair belt. DNA from the part of a suspected hair belt shows the people who used the site 3,500 years ago were closely related to the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura peoples who live in the area currently.It's not surprising the cave was only used occasionally, given how harsh the environment would have been during the Ice Age. The Pilbara is a hard place to live today, being very hot and dry. Nevertheless, it experiences a wet season, and water holes in gorges like Juukan can last. Juukan 2 is near Purlykuti Creek. Although not always filled with water, this is the best watercourse for 75 kilometers (44 miles).Before 15,000 years ago, the authors write, there had not been a seasonal monsoon for a long time, making water much scarcer. The fact the site was occupied at all during this time is a testimony to the survival capacities of the inhabitants.Nevertheless, Juukan Gorge must have offered more in the way of water and food than other sites in the Hamersley range, many of which appear to have been almost entirely unoccupied between 31,000 and 14,000 years ago.More than 7,000 stone artifacts were found at the site, one of the largest assemblages in Australia, and they provide a chronology of changing tool use over time. An even larger number of bones from prey species were identified, mostly from small mammals. Echidnas were the most heavily represented species, despite being very rare at archaeological sites elsewhere in Australia. Rich pollen records reveal the changing climate.A small number of grinding stones were found at Juukan Gorge, including this one on which 21 starch grains were found, revealing long term use of Ipomoea (bush potato).Image Credit: J. Field / Slack et al., Quaternary Science Reviews, 2024 (CC BY 4.0)Since only the largest of the four chambers in Juukan 2’s cave system had been extensively excavated, and that incompletely, there was much more to be found at the site. Exploration to see if anything survived the demolition began in 2022 under the guidance of the Traditional Owners. The paper implies that these efforts have met with some success, indicating that results will be presented in a future paper, but the world will have to wait for publication to find out more.Rio Tinto’s long history in regard to mining operations on lands of cultural and historical significance to Indigenous people led them to believe they could destroy Juukan Gorge with little consequence. Instead, such a significant site was a step too far. The backlash was so strong and widespread, the company initiated an inquiry and the CEO at the time of the decision, along with two other executives, resigned after its findings were published.The study is open access in Quaternary Science Reviews.

If you had the displeasure of watching the first season (“Part 1”) of Netflix’s comedy That ‘90s Show, you already know the show loves to sexualize children, much like its predecessor That ‘70s Show, which aired on Fox from ’98 to ‘06. The writers were apparently determined to keep that theme alive in the newest season (“Part 2”), as creepy pedophilic and masturbation “jokes” set to cringey laugh tracks were used, along with the teens constantly getting stoned, drinking, having sex and stealing. For reference, the kids are supposed to be anywhere from 14-17, and teens are their target audience. You’d think it couldn’t get much worse than last season when: Donna (Laura Prepon) gives her daughter Leia (Callie Haverda) advice on anal sex. Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) tells the kids to be sure they’re naked when they jump from a local cliff into the water, “'Cause when you hit the water at the right angle, it's like doing it with a lake.” Leia’s grandfather Bob (Don Stark) sings I’ll Make Love to You to her when a karaoke machine he gave her for her 15th birthday plays the wrong song.   A pedophile grandma tricks teens Jay (Mace Coronel) and Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan) into her hot tub where she sexually assaults them with her foot as a laugh track plays. Her granddaughter later reveals she does it “all the time,” especially to “the cute ones”: Granddaughter: Grandma! No! I told you to stop tricking guys into your hot tub. Nate: What? She didn't do that. We're just trying it out before we take it. Jay: Bro, I think that's the trick. Grandmother: I've got a free king-size bed upstairs if you'd like to try that out. Nate: It's free? Jay: Bro! Grandmother: Sorry she wasted your time. Jay: No, it wasn't a waste. I was getting down on myself, and she gave me really good advice. Granddaughter: Yeah, she always helps out the cute ones. Nate: I am reporting you to the Pennysaver. Grandmother: Ooh! But Season 2 (“Part 2”) was just as determined to sexualize the children. Case in point, episode 2, “Something to Talk About,” where the friend group approach teen Nikki’s (Sam Morelos) door and assume she’s masturbating when they hear her grunting: Nikki: (Grunting ) Ozzie: It's a lot of grunting. Did Nikki make up with Nate already? Gwen: No. This might be a solo ride on the pleasure train. Leia: It's supposed to be this loud? Gwen: Hey, Nikki. Hope you're at a natural stopping point because Leia's here to apologize. Leia: Oh, good. You opened the door. Nikki: Yeah, so I could slam it in your face. Gwen: Okay, you better go. Leia: But what about my Frosty? Ozzie: Do you honestly believe you deserve a Frosty? Leia: I do not. Gwen: Nikki? Ozzie: Oh, thank God. It's just Tae Bo. It’s not like the writers don’t realize these are children they’re writing these “jokes” for. In the same episode, Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) chastises her husband Red (Kurtwood Smith) for “threatening a child” after he has words with Jay, because he was caught kissing Leia in her bedroom. More masturbation jokes ensue in episode 3, “Just a Friend,” after Jay gives Nate a porn tape to cheer him up after a breakup: Nate: Seeing Nik doing so well… I thought I was at rock bottom, but I was just rock middle. Jay: Dude. Here. It's a pοrn tape I swiped from my dad. Nate: I don't know, man. I might be too sad for this. (Later) Well, that worked. It had everything. Romance, mystery. And how refreshing to see an accounting firm run by women. Jay: Yeah, but they keep the office fun. Now give it back. Hey. Let go. This is a Kelso family heirloom. Nate: No way, man. I was planning on being sad again before my bath. The porn jokes continue along with the boys having to hide their erections behind a pillow as they view the tape while recording an extra copy for Nate to keep: Nate: It'll take 45 minutes to make a copy, and the Formans just left for dinner. Jay: Let's just, uh, hurry up. I mean, I cannot get caught doing this, bro. This is exactly the kind of thing Leia's grandpa thinks I would do. Nate: Okay, we're all set. You hit play. I'll hit record. Jay: Okay. One, two, three, go. Woman: Jennifer, you forgot to fill out your 10-69 form. Let me help you with that. Axel: Hey, ladies, I'm Axel, the maintenance guy. It's my first day. Nate: That's where I tapped out last time. I knew what was about to happen to Axel, and I was excited for him. Axel: Does anything need to be handled? Woman: You can start by handling my... Nate: Handling what? Jay: I think the tape's jammed. Get up and fix it. Nate: You get up and fix it. Jay: I can't right now. Nate: Me neither. I don't know what your excuse is, but I've got a bоnеr. Jay: Okay, same time, then. It won't come out. Nate: I wish Axel was here. This would never happen to him. He's so lucky. Jay: Let's take the VCR, okay? They'll think they got robbed. When Gwen’s (Ashley Aufderheide) new love interest announces he’s leaving for Fuddruckers after Leia catches them kissing, Leia asks incredulously, “Are you two fuddruckering?!” Gwen quips, “No, he’s just my human Bop It. You know, bop it, twist it, pull it,” complete with hand gestures in case anyone misses what exactly she’s “bopping.” In episode 7, “Baby, Baby, Baby”, Leia plays the same “game” when she asks Jay if he wants to do “hand stuff” in a janitor’s closet. Episode 6, “I Can See Clearly Now,” opens with Nikki and Nate back together because they can’t resist having sex with each other: Nate: No one can know about this. Nikki: Yes. That was the last time. Nate: Definitely. One for the road? Nikki: Waiting on you, cowboy. How are you so out of breath? I did all the work. Nate: It's from cheering you on. Nik, I can't. Nikki: Who are we kidding? Nate: We're so good at it. Later, Nikki, Leia and Gwen steal expensive bras because they’re fascinated by how much larger their breasts look in them, which is shown as they stare at themselves in a mirror. Nate becomes aroused when he sees Nikki wearing it, and as they rush towards each other and make out, the audience track, which one would presume is supposed to represent adults as well as teens, starts cheering with excited “oohs.” Lots of drug use and drinking are featured, too, some in front of the adults and with their apparent consent. In episode 8, “Friends in Low Places,” adult Leo (Tommy Chong, of course) actually supplies the drugs and gets high with the kids. Next time a teacher or other trusted adult gets caught harming a minor in any of these ways, their lawyer should just hand the jury a copy of this show and argue it’s supposed to be “funny,” because that’s sadly the message this show is sending to teens, groomers and predators.

The 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee made it clear that the conservative movement has been stamped with the “imago MAGA” and remade in the image of Donald Trump. It’s not just me saying this. Even the former president’s advisers have said so. One of his top campaign aides was quoted in a recent New York Times article saying, “Donald Trump has put the imprint, quite frankly, that he should have had in 2016 and 2020 on the party as a whole in 2024.”If the new Republican Party takes similar positions on LGBT issues and abortion in 10 years as Democrats do today, then Christian engagement in politics will look very different in the future.There was a lot of debate between conservatives online after the first day of the convention because the model and television personality Amber Rose was invited to give a short speech describing her conversion from Never Trump to pro-MAGA. She spoke about her identity as a mother who wants a better country for her children. There were no policy demands in her speech. It was a simple explanation of her decision to vote for Donald Trump in 2024.Matt Walsh and other social conservatives didn’t like the party's decision to platform an atheist, pro-abortion influencer who used to lead “slut walks” in Los Angeles. What probably made her appearance even more concerning is that it comes at a point when the GOP has decided to soften its language and policy ideas around key social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage.I understand the concern. Every political party wants to win elections, but much like the immigration debate, “importing” a wave of new voters will eventually mean being responsive to their policy demands. And if Amber Rose’s past statements and the 50% sale on her OnlyFans page after her RNC speech are any indicator, what she demands from the party will be far different than what social conservatives want to see. The New York Times article about the 2024 platform made it clear that any changes to Republican policy priorities will ultimately be based on Donald Trump’s vision for the party, however, not the whims of celebrities. Eric Trump told one journalist that the new platform reflects who his father has always been as well as what his wife, Lara, the current cochairman of the Republican National Committee, believes. This may feel like betrayal to Trump’s base, but in the words of the poet Maya Angelou: "When people tell you who they are, believe them." Social conservatives are upset that the former president is being who he’s always been — an instinctual political operator, not a rigid ideologue. While Trump’s strongest support has been among white evangelicals, his willingness to engage on the issues conservative Christians care about most has always been based on political pragmatism more than theological conviction.Social conservatives are like a woman who gets into a relationship with a man who tells her from the outset that he doesn’t want anything serious. She takes his willingness to go on dates, have sex, cook her breakfast in the morning, and take trips together as an indication that he’s ready to settle down, only to be disappointed when he leaves for a new pasture. She says, “But you did all these things that men do in relationships,” to which he replies, “But I told you I wasn’t interested in anything serious.”Trump has always been to the left of his Christian supporters — and some fellow Republicans — on social issues. He hosted a Log Cabin Republican event at Mar-a-Lago in December 2022 that celebrated the misnamed Respect for Marriage Act. That law, signed by President Biden and supported by 39 House Republicans and 12 GOP senators, codified a definition of marriage that is out of step with the majority of Trump's evangelical base. Here is how Politico characterized the festivities:But the main attraction, obviously, was Trump. He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible.”He also had trouble answering Megyn Kelly when she asked whether a man could become a woman. He even criticized Florida’s six-week abortion ban as a “terrible mistake” in 2023. This is not a criticism of the former president. No one should be surprised that a lifelong Democrat-turned-Republican standard-bearer from New York City is not in lockstep with Bible Belt politics. It is an observation about the future of the Republican Party.What a party allows is different than what it promotes. As things stand today, Republicans are part of the party that allows people to affirm the sex binary, the sanctity of life, and the biblical definition of marriage. I can’t say for sure how long that will last, but I do know that no Democrat in Congress today could do the same at his party’s convention in Chicago next month. Political parties reflect both the people who run them as well as the people who vote for them. If the new Republican Party takes similar positions on LGBT issues and abortion in 10 years as Democrats do today, then Christian engagement in politics will look very different in the future. Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Trump’s running mate, recently said social conservatives will have a “seat at the table” if he is around. That sounds reassuring, but he didn’t specify where that table would be located. A table in the boardroom means influencing the decisions being made, but one in the dining room means accepting whatever is already on the menu.

She should have been gone weeks ago.
