Vivek Ramaswamy says the MODERATORS should be replaced by Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk in wild start to third Republican debate
Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott and Chris Christie took the stage Wednesday night for the third Republican presidential primary debate. The thinning field has candidates - and spectators - optimistic for a more thoughtful debate. But the campaigns threw the first few punches ahead of the debate this week and previewed a vicious show-down between DeSantis and Haley, who are tied in some key primary states like Iowa and are vying for the spot as Donald Trump's top competitor.

'Handsome face' of Neanderthal man who died 56,000 years ago reveals a 'softer side' of the now-extinct species
The face of a Neanderthal man who died 56,000 years ago has been seen again after a Brazilian graphics expert used a skull found in 1908 to reconstruct what he may have looked like before death. The fossil suggests he was suffering from severe periodontal disease, a gum infection found in mammals, which experts believe 'could be one of the first documented cases of zoonotic infectious disease spillover.'

Trump takes stage shortly after debate begins nearby
Donald Trump took the stage at his rally about 20 minutes after the Republican presidential debate kicked off nearby.
Trump’s rally was set to begin at 7 p.m., but he didn’t end up speaking until around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday. Already by that time, his rivals at the debate had been asked to weigh in on why they were a stronger 2024 candidate than Trump.
Trump was introduced by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his former White House press secretary. She praised his courage, touted his record and called him “my former boss, my friend, and everybody’s favorite president.”
Sanders says Trump brought patriotism back to the country and would do so again.
“We need him to finish what he started eight years ago,” she said.

Moderator asks audience to behave themselves
Moderator Lester Holt reminded audience members twice in the first 10 minutes to behave themselves, perhaps an early sign that NBC will run a tighter ship than Fox did in previous GOP debates, which at times got out of hand.
“Audience, let’s not do this,” Holt said as the crowd cheered.
NBC also set different rules for the debate than Fox, allowing candidates 90 seconds to answer questions instead of 60 seconds. Follow-ups are at the discretion of moderators and are not given to candidates just because their name was mentioned.
Continued interruptions may result in loss of additional questions.

‘Do you want Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels?’
Vivek Ramaswamy is lashing out at former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for her more hawkish foreign policy stance.
“Do you want a leader from a different generation who’s going to put this country first? Or do you want Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels? In which case, we’ve got two of ‘em on stage tonight,” Ramaswamy said, invoking the former vice president.
It was a dig at Haley — the only woman on stage — as well as DeSantis, who has been accused of wearing lifts in his boots.
Haley punched back, correcting Ramaswamy.
"They’re 5-inch heels. I don’t wear ‘em unless I can run in ’em." ~ U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley
Earlier, Ramaswamy also lashed out at Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as he expressed dismay at Republican losses in Tuesday’s elections.

Species with Amnesia: Our Forgotten History
Robert Sepehr
Highly advanced civilizations have been here before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophe. But for each race that has died out, another has taken its place, with a selected few holding on to the memories and sacred knowledge of the past race. In our vanity we think we have discovered some of the great truths of science and technology, but we are in fact only just beginning to rediscover the profound wisdom of past civilizations. In many ways, we are like an awakening Species with Amnesia, yearning to reclaim our forgotten past.

Trump claims no one is watching debate across town
At his Hialeah rally, Trump made passing reference to the debate across town, saying no one was watching it.
Later, he compared his rally to the debate: “I’m standing in front of tens of thousands of people right now and it’s on television. That’s a lot harder to do than a debate.”
The stadium where he was speaking has a capacity of 5,000 people and was not full Wednesday.
