Christie to fellow candidates: Target Trump, not each other

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:53:31 GMT

With the polls ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday showing former President Donald Trump commanding more than 60% of support among conservative voters, one candidate is openly wondering what the rest are doing.Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made a round of television appearances on Sunday ahead of planned stops in New Hampshire this week, and claimed that if the other candidates would actually run against — instead of alongside — the 45th President, one of them could potentially beat him in 2024.“I have spent the majority of my time going after the guy who’s in first place. I’m going after Donald Trump. And all I point out about Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley is that they’re not going after Trump. And I don’t understand why they spent the time going after each other, not going after Trump. If all three of us would go after Donald Trump, well, then the most credible amongst the three of us in terms of those critiques would wind up winning this p...

SAN DIEGO -- As the saying goes, "art is forever." That is especially true for those who choose their own bodies as a canvas. The practice of tattooing body art has been around for millenniums. From the mummy of Ötzi the Iceman discovered in the Alps to evidence of ancient Egyptian tattoos, the inking of flesh is a creative activity that has evolved as humans have.Fast-forward to present day, it's commonplace to stumble across tattoo shops and parlors on everyday streets -- whether it be in rural or urban communities.Some may say it's the pain of passion that drives humans to seek out creators armed in artistry with inked needles. It takes a lot of trust to offer up your body as a canvas as you'll be carrying around those art pieces for the rest of your life.

From fruit to flesh and all things in-between, four San Diego tattoo appr...

One of world’s largest icebergs drifting beyond Antarctic waters after being grounded for 3 decades

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:53:31 GMT

One of the world’s largest icebergs is drifting beyond Antarctic waters, after being grounded for more than three decades, according to the British Antarctic Survey.The iceberg, known as A23a, split from the Antarctic’s Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986. But it became stuck to the ocean floor and had remained for many years in the Weddell Sea.The iceberg is about three times the size of New York City and more than twice the size of Greater London, measuring around 4,000 square kilometers (1,500 square miles).Andrew Fleming, a remote sensing expert from the British Antarctic Survey, told the BBC on Friday that the iceberg has been drifting for the past year and now appears to be picking up speed and moving past the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, helped by wind and ocean currents.“I asked a couple of colleagues about this, wondering if there was any possible change in shelf water temperatures that might have provoked it, but the consensus is the time had just come,” Fleming t...
