Archaeologists have uncovered artifacts in Virginia’s Fones Cliffs, confirming the location of historic Rappahannock villages.

This discovery supports the tribe’s efforts to reclaim ancestral lands, aided by federal recognition in 2018.
Location of historic Native American villages was unknown — until now
Archaeologists have found what they say is proof of Native American villages mentioned by English explorer John Smith.

Previously, graduate students could borrow federal loans up to the cost of their degree, but under the new proposal, there would be caps on loans based on whether students are enrolled in a program that is considered professional or not.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Embrace your passion.
