The far-right Project 2025 agenda goes after many liberal policies, such as abortion rights. However, the project also sets up policies to destroy many green policies that some states, such as California, have adopted.

While some states have been unsuccessful, others have met with varying degrees of success. Most notably, Louisiana…

A spade-toothed whale is the world’s rarest whale. Scientists have long wanted to study this mysterious sea creature. However, no one has actually ever seen one of the uncommon whales living in the ocean. As a result, scientific study on the creatures is basically nonexistent. Until now. Earlier this month, scientists reported that what appears to be a spade-toothed whale has washed up on a New Zealand beach. The Discovery of Spade-Toothed Whales Source: I, Dysmorodrepanis/Wikimedia Commons Spade-toothed whales were first discovered way back in 1872 when whale bones were found on New Zealand’s Pitt Island. Not until 1950 were…
