Vice President Kamala Harris’ far-left running mate is being blasted by retired military officers for lying about his own military record. On a Monday episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” four veterans who had served with him referred to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, as a “coward” and a “habitual liar,” calling his repeated embellishments of his military career “morally indefensible.” Retired Minnesota National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Paul Herr said, “He’s a habitual liar. He lies about everything. He lies about stuff that doesn’t make sense. You’re taking a piece of their thunder, and you’re trying to capture it and put it in a bottle for yourself, and use that for your own benefit.” Herr continued, “He says all these things, like, ‘I was a football coach.’ You were assistant coach and you were fired because of a DUI that you lied about being deaf to try and get out of whatever you were trying to get out of there.” Kelly played a compilation of video clips showing Walz claim to be a “retired command sergeant major.” The U.S. Army National Guard clarified in 2005 that Walz did not complete the necessary training to attain the rank of command sergeant major. “And just so the record’s clear, September 2005, Minnesota National Guard discovered that his paperwork had been filed—was erroneous—saying he was retiring as a command sergeant major, and they updated it to show that he was retiring as an E-8 master sergeant,” Kelly said. Referring to the fact that Walz repeatedly claimed that he had earned the rank of command sergeant major, even after the National Guard had issued a clarification, Kelly added, “So he ‘misspoke’ a lot. … He knew he had been demoted.” Walz has been accused of “stolen valor” over his comments on his military record. In addition to repeatedly claiming to hold a higher rank than he actually achieved, Walz has also claimed to have carried weapons “in war,” although he abandoned his unit before deploying to Iraq. In comments to The Washington Stand, FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter said, “Since he was chosen as the Democrat nominee for vice president, Governor Walz’s comments exaggerating his rank in the military have been front and center. Americans generally don’t expect their politicians to adhere to the highest standards of truthfulness, but they do expect them to not cross certain lines, and stolen valor is certainly one of them.” He continued, “With two months left in the election, I’m sure the Harris-Walz campaign would rather not be mired in allegations of stolen valor, but maybe they would rather we talk about Governor Walz’s claims of rank he never earned instead of their records and policies, which are incredibly unpopular.” Originally published by The Washington Stand The post ‘Coward’: Veterans Criticize Walz Over Military Record Falsehoods appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Never lose your power brick at your friend's house or a hotel thanks to built-in Find My capabilities in Twelve South's latest USB-C charger. During IFA 2024, the company introduced its PlugBug power brick in two options. The PlugBug has a slimmer model with two USB-C ports and a maximum power of 50W, and the bulkier one offers four USB-C ports with up to 120W of maximum power. The first can easily charge a MacBook Air and an iPhone, while the other can charge your MacBook Pro, a 13-inch iPad Pro, an iPhone, and an Apple Watch. Twelve South says its ultra-slim design lets users fold the prongs to ensure the charger fits anywhere. For the Find My capabilities, Twelve South's PlugBug works similarly to a MagSafe Wallet or third-party accessories. Image source: Twelve South In 2020, Apple allowed developers to add Find My to its accessories, such as bikes, item trackers, smart water bottles, and more. While this could help you be aware of a misplaced item, it won't work as seamlessly as an iPhone and AirTag, which you can use Precision Find to easily locate your lost item. That being said, Twelve South also offers a travel package with switchable adapter plugs for the US, UK, EU, AU, KR, and CN, as well as a travel case.

In mid-July, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 impressed me with its size and weight. It's thinner than previous models and much more comfortable to hold. But Samsung's brand-new phone is still 12.1mm thick when folded. That's still thicker than last year's Honor Magic V2, which has a 9.9mm profile when closed. That is, Samsung couldn't beat one of its biggest rivals in the foldable phone niche. About a week after Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Chinese vendor announced the Honor Magic V3, a foldable phone that's even thinner than its predecessor. It measures just 9.2mm when closed, which is incredible. Honor only launched the Magic V3 in China back then, without announcing plans for an international rollout. However, buyers won't have to wait until early next year to get their hands on the world's thinnest foldable phone. The Magic V2 launched in Europe in mid-January, suggesting the V3 could follow. Honor on Thursday hosted a launch event in Berlin, Germany, at IFA 2024, bringing the Magic V3 phone to Europe. Continue reading...

Mammoths became extinct on mainland Alaska just under 12,000 years ago. Or at least that’s the current consensus. This timeline supports the argument that the arrival of humans at the end of the last Ice Age, around 14,000 years ago, played a pivotal role in their demise. Nevertheless, recent discoveries on either side of Alaska have concluded that mammoths survived in both Canada and Siberia for much longer—until about 4,000 years ago on Siberia’s Wrangel Island and 5,600 years ago on St. Paul Island, Alaska. These findings have raised questions in the scientific community about the timing of mammoth extinction on the mainland and whether humans were indeed the primary cause. Over 1,500 fossils stored at the University of Alaska Museum of the North may hold the key to unlocking answers to these questions. The problem is that only a very small fraction of them have been dated and analyzed using the advanced technology currently available. The few that have been dated need revisiting since technology has improved substantially in recent years. To address this situation, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) came up with a novel solution and launched their Adopt a Mammoth program in 2022, led by Matthew Wooller.
