Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has claimed he was in China during the infamous massacre at Tiananmen Square, but documents reportedly contradict his story. The revelation is just the latest in a series of exaggerations and outright fabrications made by the Minnesota governor to inflate his political resume. 'As the events were unfolding, several of us went in.' The discrepancy was first reported by Minnesota Public Radio’s APM Reports that said the Walz campaign was unable to "produce documentation to back up Walz’s statement that he was there during the uprising."While Walz had frequently claimed that he was visiting China when the government violently crushed a pro-democracy uprising, local reports show that he was actually at home in Nebraska during the historical event. One local news report placed Walz at a National Guard storeroom in the city of Alliance in May 1989. The reports said he didn't leave for China until August, when the protests in China had already ended. Media outlets like the New York Times, CBS News, and National Public Radio had repeated Walz' story without scrutiny. "As the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong," said Walz at a congressional hearing in 2014. "There was a large number of, especially European, I think, very angry that we would still go after what had happened, but it was my belief at that time that the diplomacy was going to happen on many levels."The Walz campaign has already admitted to exaggerating the number of times he had visited China, which he claimed was 30 visits, but in actually was about half that number. He also extolled the virtues of the communist system when he returned to the U.S. and taught at a high school after receiving favorable treatment that he compared to being treated "as a king." The communist regime in China was condemned for the military action against the protests, including the use of People’s Liberation Army tanks. As many as 10,000 people may have been killed, although some estimates place the number far lower. Like Blaze News?

The new Camera Control button is one of the signature features of the iPhone 16 series. The button gives you fast access to the camera and camera settings. In the future, it'll also let you give eyes to the iPhone's built-in AI via the new Visual Intelligence feature. The iPhone 16 is actually the second iPhone generation in a row to feature a new button. The iPhone 15 series delivered the Action button last year, though Apple restricted it to the Pro models. A year later, all four iPhone 16 models feature the two new buttons. Apple won't stop there, it seems. If a new rumor is accurate, Apple plans to replace the Action button and Volume keys with a single button on the iPhone 17 Pro. The change sounds crazy at first, but if you've been following iPhone rumors closely, it starts making sense. Continue reading...

The Great Pyramid of Giza is undoubtedly one of the most well-known icons of the ancient world. But thousands of other pyramids exist, not just in Egypt, but across the entire globe, including Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas.  The reason why so many ancient civilizations, many of which had no contact with each other, were constructing pyramids at around the same time remains a bit of a mystery. Nevertheless, many of these impressive monuments remain as legacies of these rich, ancient cultures. Here, we look at 5 little-known pyramids from the ancient world.  2,000-Year-Old Pyramid in Rome Gets a Facelift The Djoser Step Pyramid: Architectural Marvel of Egypt (Video) 1.
