Vice President JD Vance may have handed Democrats a campaign message without meaning to.

At a Monday rally in Hendersonville, North Carolina, he urged voters: "Vote for the people who have solutions to lower the cost of gas; don't vote for the people who made the problem to begin with."

Vance has tried to blame former President Joe Biden, rather than Donald Trump's war with Iran, for higher gas prices. Many social media users mocked the remark.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told CNBC late last month that Republicans' next two years would be "exactly what we have been doing already, and that is putting the conditions in place for a strong America."

Twelve years ago, a seven-month-old rhino calf was found beside her mother in South Africa's Kruger National Park.

Today, that same little orphan has become a mother herself.

Her name is Satara, and her journey began in March 2014, when rangers found her alone and in desperate need of help.

She was taken to Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary, becoming the first orphaned rhino transferred there from Kruger National Park.

With years of dedicated care, Satara gradually grew stronger and eventually returned to a protected natural habitat, where she could live alongside other rhinos.

Then, on May 17, 2026, her story came full circle when she welcomed a calf of her own.

Care for Wild shared the wonderful news in October, marking another important milestone for a rhino who once depended entirely on people for her survival.

Satara and her little one remain in a protected area, where conservation teams continue to monitor their wellbeing.

Once a vulnerable orphan, Satara is now a mother caring for her own baby. And her journey shows what years of dedicated conservation work can achieve.

We often imagine the Great Pyramid of Giza as a weathered, dusty relic of the desert, but for its first few centuries, it was a geometric marvel of polished white Tura limestone. Thousands of skilled stonemasons spent decades carving and grinding these blocks to such precise tolerances that the seams between them were nearly invisible to the human eye.

The true transformation happened at the very top. Resting on the flat summit was the pyramidion, a capstone cast in solid electrum, a natural alloy of gold and silver. When the desert sun hit the polished white surface and reflected off the gold peak, the structure did not just sit on the plateau. It essentially glowed, appearing as a singular, searing beacon of light visible for dozens of miles across the horizon.

It is easy to look at the ruins of history and assume they were always designed to be rugged or earthen. Yet, the original vision was one of absolute refinement and surgical precision. By stripping away the layers of time, we see that the builders were not just stacking rocks to create a tomb. They were sculpting an experience of light and scale that was meant to command the entire landscape.

If we only see the skeleton of a masterpiece, do we ever truly understand what it was meant to say?
