We’ve discussed near-death experiences (NDEs) before, concentrating mainly on testimonies from people in modern Western societies. Now we’re going to look at NDEs from earlier times and different cultures. Will these surprising testimonies prove or disprove the reality of NDEs? We can’t guarantee any answers. After all, you have to die to confirm the truth. […]

You would have thought that viewers had had enough of CNN’s #DemTownHall Monday night, especially after one ridiculously convoluted answer from Hillary Clinton that showed why debates have time limits. It turns out there was time for just one more question for Clinton, and unfortunately, it looks like the good part is going to go unanswered.

As the dramatic musical flourish kicked off the #DemTownHall on CNN Monday night, GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul got in a quick dig at DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her particular talent of hiding debates behind football games and on channels their cable providers haven’t even heard of.

In contemporary society, phone messages and voice mails are more annoying than helpful.

Bernie Sanders was first up at Monday night’s #DemTownHall, and considering that Joan Walsh admits to finding it “jarring” to hear a Democratic politician rely on the generic male pronoun “he,” the entire event must have been a bumpy ride. The truth is, there are plenty of gender-neutral pronouns out there, but no one seems to have decided which set to use. The xe family seems to have the largest following in the United States, and we’d be thrilled for Democratic politicians to start using it their speeches…

President Obama has a habit of touting his success stories and then ignoring them as they fall apart under his watch. Hillary Clinton apparently learned a lot from him as secretary of state, reaching deep back into her political career during the #DemTownHall Monday night and claiming victories that didn’t quite turn out to be victories.

Chess is the greatest war game ever invented. There are only 64 squares and 32 pieces, but the game’s complexity boggles the imagination.

First up, the GOP front-runner came out against letting states control public lands now run by the federal government saying, “I don’t like the idea because I want to keep the lands great, and you don’t know what the state is going to do”:This is what they’re talking about, with the land in red owned by the federal government:
Rand Paul has already spoken about this, saying in 2015 that federal lands should be handed over to state or local governments:

Earlier today, Donald Trump uploaded a new video to Facebook where he says our “veterans are being treated worse than illegal immigrants.” The ad has been well received and viewed more than 430,000 times as of the publishing of this post.
