Space-mad boy has higher IQ than Stephen Hawking after acing Mensa test aged 10: A brainy schoolboy who is obsessed with space took an IQ test and got a better score than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Julien Deleau-Lees was aged just ten when he passed with flying colours, scoring 162 – the maximum given to under-18s on the intelligence test. He is now one of the youngest members of the genius club Mensa. It means he has a higher IQ than German-born physicist Einstein and black hole theorist Stephen Hawking, whose scores were both around 160.

And this culture has, in turn, attracted those who are themselves corrupt and seeking to profit from this opportunity.

Biden’s Israel arms embargo will go down as one of the worst American betrayals: In remembrance of the Holocaust, Biden solemnly proclaimed, “Never again, simply translated, means never forget.” Actually, it means never again will a genocide of the Jews be allowed. But Biden’s interpretation is convenient, since he endangered the Jewish state the very next day by threatening to cut off deliveries to Israel of offensive weapons if it entered Rafah to finish off Hamas. This will go down as one of the worst American betrayals of a close ally in recent memory.
