Far fewer people are related to Genghis Khan than previously assumed, new genomic study suggests Some experts have suggested as many as 1 in 200 men in the world are related to Genghis Khan. But a new genomic study reveals the number is significantly lower.

I once read nearly everyone was related to Genghis Khan through mitochondrial DNA because he "raped his way across the world." A new genomic study disproves this idea. I love science and probably should have gone into the field but I didn't have the math chops.

I get your point Bruce and I agree to an extent. But in three elections, 1976, 2008, 2012, we had two candidates on the ballot who I thought were both honorable and decent men. In those three elections, I was able to vote for the better position positioning of the candidate. I prefer preferred.

Since you know so much about this movie, maybe you can answer the question of why Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando hated each other so much. Their antipathy was evident off screen for sure, and sometimes even on screen a bit I think.

Yes. Remember when Ronald Reagan said we should be the shining city on the hill? I can’t imagine what he would think. Looking at the modern Republican Party.

Rep. Barry Moore (R, Ala.) was heckled at a townhall before leaving out the back door YouTube video by NBC News

When conservative GOP Alabama Rep. Barry Moore was asked why immigrants are not being given due process of law, he didn’t know that the 5th and 14th amendment to the Constitution promise it. Constituents heckled his ignorance, so he left his town hall by the back door.

Palantir Defends Work With ICE to Staff Following Killing of Alex Pretti — WIRED “In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this,” one worker wrote on Slack.

“I’ve read stories of folks rounded up who were seeking asylum with no order to leave the country, no criminal record, & consistent check in with authorities. Literally no reason to be rounded up. Surely we aren’t doing this?”
