When I told friends and family I was reporting on the first chicken meat grown from animal cells, their first comment was “Eww." Yes, it's strange to think of eating a totally new kind of meat — chicken that doesn't come from a chicken, meat that will be sold as “cell-cultivated” chicken after the U.S. Agriculture Department on Wednesday gave the green light to two California firms, Upside Foods and Good Meat. And in this case, to the larger question behind it: Is this new material in fact chicken, or is it an impostor? Last week, I visited the Alameda, California, plant where Good Meat is poised to begin production of its chicken products. And the texture was both tender and chewy, like a well-cooked chicken thigh should be.

The ability to purchase land, not just work it, represented Black Americans' hard-won and newfound ability to self-determine.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Republicans have set Feb. 24 as the date of their 2024 presidential primary, a move that, if approved, the party says will give GOP White House hopefuls more time to campaign in the first-in-the-South state. The RNC voted last year to maintain its voting order, with Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada going ahead of other states. “This is a great opportunity for South Carolina Republicans and for our candidates and the voters in South Carolina to get to interact one on one, not just in large masses," Walker said. Republican candidates must file with the South Carolina GOP by Oct. 31 under the approved measure. During Saturday's meeting, South Carolina GOP members also approved the selection of former President Donald Trump as the speaker at the Aug. 5 Silver Elephant Gala, the party’s signature fundraiser.

Inferiority-complex fallout of Lanka’s majority View(s):Over the past several decades attempts have been made to consider the geopolitical status of Sri Lanka alongside Tamil Nadu, which would result in the independence and sovereignty of this island nation reduced to zero. We recall the fallout envisaged of bringing together the then populous state of Tamil Nadu 75 million to Sri Lanka’s 15 million or so by a visiting academic of New York (in the1980s): It creates an inferiority complex among the majority of the Sri Lankan community. This is an issue which Sri Lanka has to maintain extreme vigilance lest it becomes a vassal state of the Indian Union. It was at this point he claimed that India had done more for Sri Lanka than the IMF. Meanwhile, what is the response of Sri Lanka’s Foreign Ministry to the Sword of Damocles hanging over Lanka’s sovereignty and independence?

(AP Photo/Meg Kinnard)CHARLESTON, S.C. – Nikki Haley’s husband deployed Saturday for a yearlong stint in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard, a mission that will encompass most of the remainder of her campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. “He's always been my rock,” she said after a deployment ceremony for about 200 soldiers at The Citadel, a military college in Charleston. Nikki Haley, who is also a former South Carolina governor, has been highly critical of President Joe Biden’s performance as commander in chief. During his deployment, the campaign said the couple’s college-age son, Nalin, will be taking over that role. “He left me as a single mom governor, but we’re still married,” Haley said during a recent campaign appearance in Greer, South Carolina.
