The Fight Of His Life

Bush did not argue. He, too, had seen the wave coming. Back in 1993, when he decided to run for governor, he had told his wife, Laura, that if he ran and won, and then won again, there would be enormous pressure on him to seek the presidency. But as the Republican moneymen began shuttling down to Austin in their corporate jets throughout 1999, anointing Bush with promises of financial support, “W” was not sure he really wanted to try for the White House....

The Cultural Elite

Dan Quayle? Obviously Quayle would not identify himself as a part of the cultural elite he so actively denounces. He spits the words out, trying to win votes for the Republican ticket by creating a social chasm: Us versus Them, with the Them being dangerous Hollywood and media types inflicting their sinful values on the rest of Us regular folks. It’s a time-honored, divide-and-conquer approach, and one that’s had surprisingly little political bite this year....

The Cyber Vulnerabilities Of A Work At Home Government Opinion

We run a small nonprofit cyber innovation lab. We became the first responders to what we soon understood to be a devastating cyberattack. We came prepared. Thankfully, we were able to rapidly deploy a “break-glass-in-emergency” remediation. It was not the most elegant of solutions, but it did the job—re-establishing connectivity for the house while mitigating the effect of any remaining malware and restoring basic essential functions like web, email and phone....

The Dak Prescott Vs. Carson Wentz Debate Isn T Much Of A Debate Anymore

As you’re definitely aware, 2020 is not “simpler times,” and that extends to the Prescott vs. Wentz debate. The Cowboys’ Prescott saw his season end with a gruesome ankle injury in Week 5. Wentz was just benched in Week 13 in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts. At the time of their 2016 draft selections, Wentz looked to be the sure thing. By early this season, Prescott seemed more secure in a bright future....

The Division Won T Release Seeker Gear Set In Update 1.6

First and foremost, it appears Division’s new Seeker gear set simply isn’t meeting Massive’s expectations, and as a result it will not make the Update 1.6 cut. The devs didn’t say whether Seeker might return at a later date, but as of right now they have deemed it too imbalanced to be a part of The Division experience. Remember that Seeker was already re-balanced in PTS 2’s update, but even that clearly wasn’t enough....

The Dragon Ball Spin Off That Makes The Series Most Pathetic Character Better

Yamcha was always something of a comic relief character but managed to come off as a somewhat capable fighter in the early series. But that changed when the Saiyans invaded and Yamcha was dealt with one of the most humiliating deaths in the entire series. The character was never really able to regain any of the significance he held earlier in the series and was gradually regulated to a minor supporting character....

The Elder Scrolls 6 Is Likely To Drop A Few Skyrim Features

While The Elder Scrolls 6 has a lot to live up to following the astronomical success of Skyrim, omitting certain features will not take away from the classic Elder Scrolls formula, and would also give the developers a chance to put in a more refined substitute for these features. Most of Skyrim’s success comes from the simplicity and freedom that players are given, so as Bethesda decides what features they drop, they need to ensure that the players continue to play with this simplicity and freedom....

The Elder Scrolls 6 Is Using Same Engine As Starfield Still In Design Phase

Howard’s interview comments were as much about The Elder Scrolls 6 as they were about Starfield, another upcoming Bethesda game. Both were revealed at the same time at E3 2018, but Starfield earned a headlining spot at E3 this year. Many fans don’t think development will begin in earnest The Elder Scrolls 6 until after Starfield is finished. RELATED: Skyrim Enemies Unlikely to Come Back in The Elder Scrolls 6...

The End Of The Journey

Why would a woman that age, too blind to read, still polish her stiletto every day from her ancient apartment near Columbia University? Part of the answer is that she started late. The daughter of immigrant Polish Jews, she experienced severe phobias as a child and endured an anxious adulthood. She didn’t even begin to write the piercing book reviews for which she became known until she was in her late 30s....

The End Of The Unipolar Moment Opinion

Multiple generations of Americans, millennials and Gen Z alike, have come of political age in the unipolar moment. As a millennial born in 1989, the unipolar moment is all my generation has ever known. The various manifestations of the unipolar moment, such as unparalleled American naval might to secure free trade on the high seas, unrivaled American dominance in multilateral institutions such as the United Nations and the incessant urge to militarily intervene in faraway lands on moralistic or humanitarian grounds, became de rigueur....

The Epa Finally Plans To Regulate Toxic Widespread Forever Chemicals

This ever-expanding group of more than 4,700 chemicals is also known as “forever chemicals” because of their tendency to remain in the human body and environment indefinitely. Most Americans have been exposed to PFAS, especially perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). They’re used in day-to-day products like nonstick pans, fast food wrappers, and cosmetics. The manufacturing process can leach PFAS into soil and waterways, contaminating wildlife and drinking water....
