Explanation: If the Sun is up but the sky is dark and the horizon is bright all around, you might be standing in the Moon's shadow during a total eclipse of the Sun. In fact, the all-sky Moon shadow shown in this composited panoramic view was captured from a farm near Shirley, Arkansas, planet Earth. The exposures were made under clear skies during the April 8 total solar eclipse. For that location near the center line of the Moon's shadow track, totality lasted over 4 minutes. Along with the solar corona surrounding the silhouette of the Moon planets and stars...

From the time of the American War Mothers to the present day, the tradition of honoring our wounded, ill and injured service members has been an integral part of American respect for those who have served their country. Since the Silver Star Families of America brought back this tradition and petitioned Congress, May 1st of every year has been designated as Silver Star Service Banner Day.

Democrats thought they had a winning strategy in the 2024 election by attempting to get Donald Trump off the ballot in various states and taking him off the campaign trail by tying him up in bogus legal battles. The first effort failed, as it should have, and now it looks like he’s taking advantage of being confined to New York because of the bogus trial over his perfectly legal non-disclosure agreement with Stormy Daniels in a way no one expected. Last week, following his appearance in court, President Donald J. Trump visited the Harlem bodega of clerk Jose Alba, whom...

Health Canada has claimed mRNA COVID-19 vaccine supplier Pfizer made a conscious decision not to inform institutions jabs contain Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA sequence. SV40 is an “emerging human pathogen” that “induces cancer,” according to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA). The sequence was linked to cancer after it was discovered in patients who had received the Polio vaccine in the late 1950s. It was promptly removed from the treatment. “DNA integration could theoretically impact a human’s oncogenes, the genes which can transform a healthy cell into a cancerous cell,”...

Emergency slide falls off Boeing plane, forcing LA-bound Delta flight to return to JFK An emergency slide fell off a Delta plane while it was in the air Friday morning — forcing the Los Angeles-bound flight to return to JFK Airport, sources told The Post. The freak accident set off an emergency alarm around 8:30 a.m. aboard Flight 520, which had departed the Queens airport an hour earlier, sources said. What do you think? Post a comment. The crew — who had reported a vibration, according to the FAA — had no choice but to return to JFK, on runway...

<p>On July 3, 1969, Brian Jones drowned in his pool and died at just 27, but questions still linger about what really happened at his Cotchford Farm home that night.</p>

@RepThomasMassie There’s a bipartisan effort in Congress to equate criticism of the secular state of Israel to violence toward Jewish people in America. The latter is illegal and the former is protected speech, but if a false equivalency is established, it will be forbidden to criticize Israel.

RINO, Republican In Name Only, is a slur used against Republicans who fail one or more extreme right wing purity tests. It’s likely Reagan, Goldwater, the Bushes, Eisenhower, John McCain and other Republicans icons would be labeled RINOs by the standards of Trumpism. Here's a new term – PINO. Patriot In Name Only. Examples: If you disrespect 1st Amendment's free press protections and call Journalists “Enemies of the People,” you may be a PINO.

So much proof coming out about our CRIMINAL DOJ & FBI! Revealing the criminal work against President Trump!This is a true BOMBSHELL.

The writers of our Constitution placed their faith not in specific guarantees of rights—those came later—but in a system of checks on government power. Foremost is the separation of powers among the three branches of the federal government, as well as between the federal government and the states. For this system to work as designed, people in each branch of the federal government and in the state governments must do their jobs and stay in their respective lanes. But what happens when district attorneys—members of their states’ executive branches—refuse to execute the laws of the land? We are witnessing the...

A federal judge on Friday declined to force the recusal of a fellow Joe Biden-appointed colleague in Hunter Biden’s “hacking” lawsuit against a former policy analyst in the Trump White House, writing that the effort failed just like the former president failed to remove a Clinton appointee from the never successful Trump v. Clinton RICO case. U.S. District Judge Hernan Vera was the target of Garrett Ziegler’s recusal motion, which reasoned that Vera’s status as a 2023 appointee of President Joe Biden appointee, coupled with a donation to the president’s 2020 election campaign and the political “subject matter of the...

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April 26. AFFAIRS IN THE ARMY. The latest intelligence from the front to-day left everything quiet there. A heavy reconnoissance into the valley developed the fact that no considerable body of rebels are this side the Rapidan. The belief was general that LEE would not venture an offensive movement. A report prevailed to-day at the front that LEE was removing his heavy artillery to Richmond. REPORTED MOVEMENTS OF THE ENEMY. The reported advance of the enemy toward Warrenton was caused by the falling back of Gen. GREGG's Division to Three Mile Station for military purposes. There is no...

‘This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,’ dean says. New York University law students will soon be able to learn how to fight for a “decarbonized future” and against “environmental racism.” The university announced a new Environmental Justice Laboratory will begin this fall. “This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,” Dean Troy McKenzie stated in a news release. “Environmental justice has been an emerging area of focus here at the Law School and across the country,” McKenzie stated....

A Maryland mother who lost her son to sepsis is now fighting for increased protocols in hospitals, as the cruel disease continues to kill one American every 90 seconds. Lochlin DeSantis was just five years old in January 2020 when he came down with the flu. But what is usually a relatively harmless illness turned into a far more sinister disease. Within two days of the onset of his sore throat and fever, he became unable to walk - moving his legs were oddly agonizingly painful. Just a day later, Lochlin started losing consciousness - resulting in a frantic rush...

“Academia, particularly at the level of Columbia and the Ivy League, is completely broken. I don’t think it can be repaired internally. They have created over 20 to 30 years a unified monoculture which is hostile to western values, which is hostile to capitalism, and which exploits and singles out Israel as the object of their ire as a mobilizing tactic…. People need to understand that there is no internal opposition left.” There is a plus-side to the vile anti-Israel and antisemitic encampments at Columbia and several other universities – the anti-American side of the movement is on full display....

The anti-Israel tent encampment at Columbia University is being led by a cohort of controversial student leaders — some of whom express solidarity with Hamas and say “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” These students are the ones negotiating directly with leaders of the Ivy League university — holding campus hostage with dozens of tents and hundreds of protesters splayed out on the lawn in Morningside Heights. One of the most prominent faces in the protest camp is Khymani James, a spokesperson for Columbia United Apartheid Divest, which is demanding that the university divest from any company that does business with...

J.K. Rowling should take a bow. She has been a tireless, vocal defender of women and kids against the tidal wave of transgender insanity. We've written about her a lot, because she's always so awesome. And while the woke Left and trans activists screamed at her, threatened her, and harassed her, she held her head high and kept speaking truth to power. So now that she's not-too-subtly taking a victory lap in the wake of the Cass Report, we are applauding her. ‘In years to come we will look back at the damage done to children with incredulity and horror.’...

New York’s squatter nightmare has gotten so far out of control that even liberal lawmakers are finally moving to plug the loopholes that have facilitated the crisis. Democratic as well as Republican lawmakers in Albany are pushing measures to crack down on the outrageous scourge, including one bill introduced by lefty Sen. John Liu (D-Queens) that was included in the just-completed state-budget agreement. Liu credited coverage by The Post and others for bringing “to our attention a problem that needed to be addressed.” You bet it needs addressing. Until now, anyone who stayed in a home beyond for a certain...

The National Conservative Conference (“NatCon”) in Brussels received heavy media attention across Europe. The controversial summit gathered the European right-wing elite, from politicians and journalists to academics and clergy. Days before it began, the conference was stoking anticipation with the expected presence of France’s Eric Zemmour, Britain’s Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman, Hungary’s Viktor Orban, and Poland’s Mateusz Morawiecki. Belgium’s Concert Noble, an august ballroom that hosted a NatCon conference two years ago, was to be the site of this year’s event, but the facility cancelled in response to mounting pressure from Philippe Close, socialist mayor of Brussels, and the...
