3,300-Year-Old Hittite Cuneiform Tablet Found In Büklükale Deciphered! Archaeologists think the first Hittite kingdoms formed in central Anatolia, now Turkey, in about 2100 B.C. and the Hittites had become a major regional power by 1450 B.C. Hittites appear in the Hebrew Bible, and ancient Egyptian inscriptions record that the Hittite Empire fought them in 1274 B.C. at the Battle of Kadesh, an ancient city near modern-day Homs, Syria, in one of history’s earliest battles.

Border crisis worsens as Mexico dries out south Texas farmers: The border crisis continues to worsen as the Mexican government dries out south Texas farmers. Last month, Texas’ last sugar mill announced it was shutting down as a result. Because Mexico wasn’t releasing water as required by the treaty, south Texas growers didn’t have enough water to grow their crops, forcing more than 100 sugar growers out of business, 500 workers out of jobs and the Rio Grande Valley to lose an initial
$100 million in economic losses. The situation has become so dire that state Democratic lawmakers have called on the Biden administration and Gov. Greg Abbott to take immediate action

The ‘walking route’: How an underground industry is helping migrants flee China for the US: They come with backpacks carrying a few spare changes of clothes and whatever money and phones they weren’t robbed of by criminals or cartels along the way, arriving at the United States-Mexico border exhausted from the stress of the journey north. Three years of Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions left people across China out of work – and disillusioned with the ruling Communist Party’s increasingly tight grip on all aspects of life under Xi.

A Big Win for the Anti-Tax Movement: “The anti-taxers have, at least for now, won the debate. Federal budget deficits are massive and growing. US tax rates are low. Promised Social Security benefits are at risk. The public overwhelmingly supports tax increases on the wealthy and corporations. Yet, Congress keeps cutting taxes and even many congressional Democrats are unwilling to raise them.”

Scientists made an incredible discovery about the oldest fossilized forest ever found: ‘Not like any forest you would see today’: The fossils were found on cliff sides in Minehead off the Somerset coast in England, and scientists from the Universities of Cambridge and Cardiff have dated the forest back between 419 million and 358 million years old. The forest was made up of Calamophyton trees, an early form of today’s palm trees.

Donald Trump Shares Jesus Comparison While in Court: Donald Trump is comparing himself to Jesus Christ in one of his most bizarre social media posts yet. The disgraced former President has posted an extract from the Bible referring to Easter. It comes as Trump was attending a hearing in Manhattan for his ‘hush money’ case, which had been delayed. But now Judge Juan Merchan has ordered him to appear back in court on April 15 for his scheduled Stormy Daniels hush money trial in New York, as his legal team failed to obtain the delay they were looking for.

Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, a historic reckoning after years of investigations into his personal, political and business dealings and an abrupt jolt to his bid to retake the White House. The exact nature of the charges was unclear Friday because the indictment remained under seal, but they stem from payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter.

Did the US just get lured into war with the Houthis? U.S. President Joe Biden’s blistering strikes on Yemen followed weeks of warnings to the Houthis to stop attacking Red Sea shipping – or else. Yet the Houthis continued firing drones and missiles, seemingly goading the United States to follow through on its threats. That has raised a question for some experts: Did the Houthis want a war with America? And if so, why? Gerald Feierstein, a former U.S. ambassador to Yemen, is among those who think the United States has given the Houthis exactly what they wanted: a fight.

Scientists Have Discovered an Underwater Ancient Island Paradise in the South Atlantic Ocean: Research conducted by scientists from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil has revealed that the Rio Grande Rise (RGR), a submerged basaltic plateau and series of seamounts in the South Atlantic Ocean, approximately 1,200 km away from the Brazilian coast, was once a giant tropical island. This island, teeming with minerals and lush vegetation, dates back to sediment formations between 45 million and 40 million years ago.

Medicaid Targets Deceased Family Members’ Homes for Cost Recovery: A routine process the federal government requires of every state: to recover money from the assets of dead people who, in their final years, relied on Medicaid, the taxpayer-funded health insurance for the poorest Americans. A person’s home is typically exempt from qualifying for Medicaid. But it is subject to the estate recovery process for those who were over 55 and used Medicaid to pay for long-term care such as nursing home stays or in-home health care.

Trump’s RNC officially kills the GOP’s mail-in voter effort: The Trump-branded Republican Party is less interested in promoting voting by mail than in legal challenges aimed at voting systems. In a victory for the extremist wing of the Republican Party, it looks like Donald Trump’s hand-picked leadership team at the Republican National Committee has officially scrapped the GOP’s plan to encourage early voting this election cycle. Instead, the party is taking steps to prioritize legal challenges to voting systems ahead of November.

Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton Are Purging the Texas GOP: The two top Republican lawmakers in the Lone Star State are pursuing personal vendettas, and pushing their party further toward the fringes. The party leaders sought to punish members who blocked their push for school vouchers and backed an effort to impeach Paxton last year. They needed to unseat six of the 16 to turn the state House numbers in their favor on the school voucher vote, which they nearly succeeded in doing.

Why Did Two of Judge Aileen Cannon’s Law Clerks Suddenly Quit? Donald Trump’s favorite judge is suddenly losing law clerks.
