Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Outreach to Kamala Harris
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has attempted to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of joining her administration if she wins the presidency. Facing a decline in support following President Biden's exit from the race, Kennedy proposed this deal in exchange for his endorsement of Harris's campaign. However, his outreach has not received any interest or response from Harris or her team, leaving Kennedy to continue his campaign independently. This effort follows a previous, similar discussion he had with Republican nominee Donald Trump, which also failed to result in an agreement.
The Ancient Mystery of Stonehenge
Recent research has revealed that a six-ton slab of sandstone at Stonehenge originated from a location in Scotland, approximately 600 miles away. Scientists utilized a detailed analysis of the rock's individual grains to trace the stone's origins back to ancient times, though questions remain surrounding how it was transported such a distance. Theories suggest that the stone could have been moved by sea, a feat that would have required incredible skill and might have taken years to accomplish. This discovery not only sheds light on the construction of Stonehenge but also emphasizes the need to appreciate the capabilities of Neolithic people during that era.
