No Earth based picture could possibly view the night side of Saturn and the corresponding shadow cast across Saturn's rings. Since Earth is much closer to the Sun than Saturn, only the day side of the ringed planet is visible from the Earth....

So what are they going to do? Make Hillary seem five inches taller than she actually is? Does anyone really believe that's going to help her win the debate? Well what about her voice? All Hillary has to do is speak and the average viewer tonight will then have second thoughts about seeing her as President. Hillary is already considered boring/unlikable. And like they have been saying all year, the less we see of her, the better her polls are, right? And when she does speak on live TV/Rally, her poll numbers go into a free fall.

Carnival Cruise Lines is investigating an altercation that took place in a restaurant involving several passengers, which was all captured on video by Irie Namma. The dispute started with a group of men and women arguing near the buffet line. The fight broke out within seconds, and chairs went flying across the room. Carnival cruise ship security reacted fast and managed to break up the fight within seconds. Unfortunately, the incident becomes the third cruise ship fight in 16 days. There was a fight on the Carnival Glory last week. Passengers allege that one person said something "out of line"...

MOSCOW, September 25. /TASS/. The Officers of a Russia's non-governmental organization have blocked the entrance to the exhibition of the U.S. photographer Jock Sturges in Moscow in a protest against promoting his works, the organization’s head, and chair of the Public Chamber’s defense commission, Anton Tsvetkov said on Sunday. "If considered in Russia, the works by Jock Sturges could be qualified as a crime." "Right, he could have become famous by good pictures, but remember, this man used to participate in crimes. And he likewise was brought to responsibility also in the United States, though later on was justified. But...

Hillary has no chance to win on issues or leadership. She has done nothing but wreck countries and leave Americans begging for help for 13 hours, and she can only promise more tax and spend at a time when America is saddled with debt and barely getting by on an anemic 1% GDP. So its high time for another one of those infamous Clinton Camp all-nighters with Diet Coke and Pizza to cook up some rhetoric to change the appearance of things, or as we like to call it: "Moving the Goal Posts for Hillary". In this episode, the casual...

My new book, Guilty as Sin: Uncovering New Evidence of Corruption and How Hillary Clinton and the Democrats Derailed the FBI Investigation, is hot off the press just as Donald Trump is surging in the polls. Faced with this terrifying prospect, Democrats try to console themselves with the mantra that Hillary has a better ground game—polling data and grassroots organization—than Donald. But ED KLEIN CONFIDENTIAL recently discovered that this mantra is a myth. We spoke to an election expert who has visited many of Hillary’s campaign offices, where he interviewed staffers and found that the Clinton operation is “chaotic.” “There...

Rumor has it that Hillary during the debate is preparing to unleash crocodile tears in any number of ways and on any number of subjects…….and you know when a woman cry’s she wins. What time is the football game?

Four robbers who planned to rob a pizza delivery boy after ordering delivery to an abandoned house were in for a surprise when a former NFL linebacker showed up with the pie instead. Napoleon Harris III, the former NFL linebacker and Illinois state senator, is the owner of two Chicago-area Beggars pizza franchises and was sitting in one of them right before closing time when a last minute call came in, The Daily Mail reported. Harris offered to deliver the pizza himself since the crew was overwhelmed, but he didn’t know that the house was vacant.

After 67 years as the voice of the Dodgers, Vin's last call at Dodger Stadium was as it should be......a Hollywood ending.

Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Walter, Peanut and Bubba J have been poking fun at Donald Trump’s campaign for President. So, why won’t they make jokes about Hillary Clinton? The guys tackle this subject head on in this Public Service Announcement!

How Can We Save The Sun? Published: 23 Sep , 2016 by Fraser Cain Video Remember the movie Sunshine, where astronomers learn that the Sun is dying? So a plucky team of astronauts take a nuclear bomb to the Sun, and try to jump-start it with a massive explosion. Yeah, there’s so much wrong in that movie that I don’t know where to start. So I just won’t.Seriously, a nuclear bomb to cure a dying Sun?Here’s the thing, the Sun is actually dying. It’s just that it’s going to take about another 5 billion years to run of fuel in...

"She's Slimy," says Anay Pope. And Pope, 25, is a Clinton supporter. For the moment.

So Hillary Clinton claimed that she overheated and collapsed on a perfect 77 degree day in New York. Well, if she was telling the truth, then how will she be able to withstand being on that debate stage with so many hot stage lights all pointing at her? And not just the heat coming from the lights, what about the brightness as well? If Hillary manages to survive the warm and bright stage for 90 minutes, then can we all assume that the "Overheated Excuse" was all a lie between Hillary and all of her paid commentators and leftist news...

She’s in trouble, people. First, let’s look at some recent top line data: Trump has a three-point advantage over Clinton among likely voters in the Silver State (43–40 percent). Libertarian Gary Johnson receives eight percent. Nevada voters also can cast a ballot for “none of these,” and that option takes four percent. Green Party candidate Jill Stein is not on the ballot in Nevada. … In North Carolina, Trump is up by five points among likely voters. He receives 45 percent to Clinton’s 40 percent, and 6 percent favor Johnson. Stein is not on the ballot. … The Buckeye State...

Under escort from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division, nine black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Three weeks earlier, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent its federal court-ordered racial integration. After a tense standoff, President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent 1,000 army paratroopers to Little Rock to enforce the court order.

Members of 4chan’s “politically incorrect” board /pol/ have begun “Operation Google,” which aims to circumnavigate the search engine’s new AI program to remove bigoted and racist posts and comments from the internet by filling the search engine with more bigotry and racism. Operation Google was outlined by 4chan members as an effort to replace the “n-word” with the word “Google,” in order to “make it so Google would have to censor their own company by making them a racial slur towards blacks.” The Operation Google “manifesto” can be read below:

Where is Lester Holt? He has been missing from the NBC Evening News for over a week. Savanah Guppie has been ordered to fill in for the nightly news cast in his absence. Guppie fearfully stated that Holt was at home writing questions for the debate. Guppie would not elaborate because she was fearful that any unapproved response might subject her to the same PC crucifixion that had been visited upon her co-host Matt Liar. Alt-Right investigative reporters have learned from a source within the Clinton campaign staff that Holt is being covertly driven to the Clinton compound daily. The...

In the past, the debates have used a questionable feature where they have included questions to the candidates from a source outside of the debate forum like Face Book et al.

HARLOW, England — He went down with a single punch. Arkadiusz Jóźwik — shy, devoted to his mother and an immigrant to Britain from his native Poland — was out with friends late last month enjoying pizza and drinks when they were set upon by a group of teens, some reportedly shouting anti-Polish slurs.

Trust in the media in the United States is at an all-time low. Only 32% of Americans have trust in the media. With all of that going on, who do you think is the most feared journalist today that you can think of? http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx

"In 2000, 19 months before Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump wrote extensively of the terrorism threat the United States was facing. Trump, who at the time was considering a presidential bid on the Reform Party ticket, went so far as to say that an attack on a major U.S. city was not just a probability, but an inevitability. “I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers,” wrote Trump in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “No sensible analyst rejects...

A Chinese couple who missed the last boarding call for their flight ran onto the tarmac in an attempt to stop the plane from leaving without them. The couple had arrived at their gate at Beijing International Airport after it had closed, and reportedly forced their way onto the runway with their luggage as the plane was taxiing. The flight from Beijing to Shanghai was delayed by 20 minutes as the couple continued to block the runway, with photos showing the woman at one point squatting down underneath the plane. She reportedly attempted to persuade officials to allow her and...

Pythons swallow their prey whole, and take several days or even weeks to fully digest it.Biting off more than it could chew cost a 20-foot python its life in Junagadh district. The python died yesterday after swallowing a blue bull (‘nilgai’) at Baliavad village near Gir wildlife sanctuary, a Gujarat forest department official said. Villagers found the python lying on the road, its belly distended beyond normal capacity, and apparently struggling to digest the animal it had swallowed. “Forest officials were informed and they rushed to the site to ascertain its condition,” Deputy Conservator of Forest R Senthilkumaran said today....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Sunday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that if elected, the United States would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the campaign said, marking a potential dramatic shift in U.S. policy on the issue. During the meeting that lasted more than an hour at Trump Tower in New York, Trump told Netanyahu that under his administration, the United States would "recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel." While Israel calls Jerusalem its capital, few other countries accept that, including the United States. Most nations maintain embassies...

The teachers unions have hidden behind the "for the children" mantra for decades, all the while creating a system that costs more and more to educate less and less. New York City spends more than $20,000 per year per pupil, and 80% of the "graduates" do not read well enough to attend community college. Now that millions of invaders are coming here to collect government checks, we are expected to pay for the "education" of their children as well. The teachers unions look upon this as a multicultural bonanza, allowing them to create teaching positions for eight different dialects of...

Tuesday night (Sept. 20), 38-year-old Travon Williams lay dead on the pavement outside a small grocery store at the intersection of North Claiborne Avenue and Desire Street. Fatally shot, Williams had followed a grim pattern running through his family, a well-worn groove of untimely, violent deaths. According to those who knew him, Williams had spent the past few years of his life trying to build better relationships with his daughters -- and trying to free himself from a tragic legacy. At age 5, Williams lost his 24-year-old mother to gunfire at a Desire neighborhood barroom. Gretchen Williams of Desire was...

It is not shocking to see Pope Francis, a globalist puppet, attempt to put the Polish people on a guilt trip to make them embrace the largely Muslim immigrants into Poland as refugees. Why does the Pope want to bring these Muslim immigrants into Poland? How will this benefit Poland culturally? Or is it a threat to their way of life and freedoms? Will it enrich Poland, or become cultural suicide for the Polish people?.......... In reality, the Pope wants the Polish people to adapt to the changes that will arise with Islamic immigration. The Poles must conform to the...

A newly qualified architect turned her back on the construction industry to spend her days building ornate cakes with the help of a 3D printer. Dinara Kasko was determined to be an architect and design landmark buildings, so she attended Kharkov University Architecture School in her home country. But, as soon as she started working in the industry, she just knew it wasn’t for her. So the 27-year-old Ukrainian looked for a way to apply her skills to another arena. She worked as a designer, a photographer and then a 3D visualizer. She started baking in the background, as a...

While Playboy Magazine is often known for its more risky photo shoots, the magazine is making headlines with its recent October issue for a different reason. Noor Tagouri, an American journalist that happens to wear a hijab, was featured in the issue, marked as the magazine's "renegades" issue. The renegades series features both men and women who are changing the way people think. "They’ve risked it all—even their lives—to do what they love, showing us what can be accomplished if we break the rules," states Playboy.

I saw George Jones in concert three times. He always put on a great show. My brother tried to go see him in Charleston once and he never showed. That was in his "No show Jones" days. He still has the ticket and wouldn't get rid of it for anything. After that his wife started calling George a drunk and my brother would let her know real fast that he was the greatest country singer that ever lived and he could drink as damn much as he felt like drinking. I'm going to see my brother in a couple days...
