Explanation: A dark wolf lies in gum. No, this isn’t a riddle! Today's image features the Dark Wolf Nebula (Sandqvist–Lindroos 17), a spooky dust cloud embedded within the Gum 55 (RCW 113) Nebula in the Scorpius constellation. While dust is a pest to us, it serves a vital role in creating the necessary conditions for stars to be born. The Dark Wolf absorbs the intense ultraviolet and visible light emitted by young stars in Gum 55 and re-emits it at longer, mainly infrared, wavelengths. This prevents the higher energy light from heating up the gas in the region. When a...

Riding a wave of political momentum in 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky, a showman turned wartime leader, could have hardly imagined the path his presidency would take. Some argue that Zelensky's 2019 election was less of an endorsement of his political platform, a populist one, rather a rejection of the old entrenched elite seen as ineffective and corrupt. Years later, Zelensky still faces the domestic challenges that confronted his predecessors — issues he once promised to resolve. On the international stage, however, he has amassed significant support for Ukraine, actively working to maintain global backing as his country defends itself against a...

"Our company has fully adopted AI. All of our computers have AI. We use AI in all of our meetings. And, it's got an AI assistant. Heck, we even got an AI note taker. We really love using AI during lunch." "How's your business doing?" "Terrible. But we are early adopters...so, we'll be fine." "All of our computers have AI"

No fewer than six times in the opening minutes of today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough furiously attacked President Trump’s White House ballroom plans, branding it the “Marie Antoinette ballroom” while contrasting it with Americans struggling to afford groceries, gas, and rent. The historical parallel Scarborough invited is unmistakable: Marie Antoinette’s reputation for extravagance amid public hardship was followed by the French Revolution’s bloody climax -- and her bloody end. Note in the painting, the guy doing his best Kathy Griffin imitation — proudly holding up the severed head. Was Scarborough slyly doing his Queen of Hearts impression? Liberal media figures...

Key Points Income tax paid by lower earners is “a small amount of money for the government,” Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin on Wednesday. The bottom half of taxpayers had an adjusted gross income of nearly $54,000 in 2023, according to the Tax Foundation, citing the most recent IRS statistics. Bezos’ comments come as a number of Democratic states explore higher taxes on the wealthy, and federal lawmakers have introduced proposals to cut taxes for lower earners. ============================================================ Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos on Wednesday called for zero federal income taxes on the bottom half...

Sequence of events: 1. last October, a report was filed with JPM Chase that a customer's contact info was compromised after someone called pretending to be from Chase, and spoofing one of their branch phone numbers - supposedly, a note was placed on the account as a flag. 2. late last month the customer's debit card info was stolen; the debit card is ONLY ever used at two specific Chase branches, and ATMs (and is otherwise kept at home); people have been observed loitering in the bank's lobby, near the ATMs, and after hours - could these people be there,...

Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — It's not even Memorial Day weekend, and Ontario Beach Park in Charlotte has already had two brawls this season. A witness who provided videos of two fights, which happened Sunday and Monday, said it was many of the same people both times. Parents at the nearby playgrounds grabbed their children and fled the scene. The witness estimated that some 200-300 people started running away from the fray. Tom Beaman Jr., owner of California Rollin’ II at the Port of Rochester, said the fights are concerning, and it's way too early in the season for them to...

While talking to the press on Wednesday, President Donald Trump was asked about his conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran. Trump responded, "He's fine, he'll do whatever I want him to do." He added, "He's a great guy. Don't forget he's a wartime prime minister, and he's not treated right in Israel in my opinion." The US President then went on to claim that his approval rating in Israel is very high: "I'm at 99% in Israel, I can run for Prime Minister. So maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel and run for Prime...

Republicans are worried that Trump's latest endorsement will cost them control of the Senate, according to a new report. A Republican familiar with Texas politics told NOTUS that Trump's endorsement of the state's Attorney General Ken Paxton could cost the GOP its Senate majority in the upcoming midterms, according to a report.

Sage Creek Elementary School, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has decided to jettison Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents in favor of much vaguer “family” gifts, which the Increasingly Less White North’s National Post noted is “part of a new trend among some Canadian schools downplaying or eliminating the traditional parental celebrations.” Gee, I wonder why they are doing this. Just kidding. “Marriage” and “family” have been legally redefined in recent years — as leftists push to destroy both. After all, if you wish to destroy Western society, you must first weaken its foundation, shatter its building blocks.

Good morning. It's an honor to be here and support Attorney General Blanch, Senator Moody, and your great United States Attorney, Jason Reading Kinones. Communist revolution ...In reality, there is no abundance nor freedom. Rather, it obstructs individual personal property rights, suffocates merit, and centralizes total power in the hands of tyrants. We've seen what communism has brought us. Over a hundred million people that have lost their lives, engineered famines, and the total destruction of human liberty. Just 90 miles from our Florida shorelines, the Castro family has ruled the island with an iron fist. For nearly 50 years,...

$1 trillion. That's the approximate valuation that OpenAI is eyeing for its public debut, Reuters reported last October. SpaceX is targeting between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion in its IPO valuation, which would shatter the previous record set by Saudi Aramco's $29 billion offering in 2019. OpenAI's last private valuation was $852 billion thanks to a $122 billion funding round in March.

After Trump's Thursday announcement praising her border security work, including what Noem called the 'most secure border in American history' and $13 billion in taxpayer savings, online conservatives urged her to primary Thune in South Dakota's 2028 race. Critics label Thune disloyal with a 51% Liberty Score and past bipartisan moves, while figures like radio host Jeff Kuhner predict Noem would crush him thanks to her MAGA ties and home-state popularity. Noem has stayed silent on any Senate bid, and with Thune's $20 million war chest and strong approvals, the talk remains early speculation amid GOP tensions. This story is...

Hillsborough County Commissioners on Wednesday approved a nonbinding memorandum of understanding between the county and the baseball team for the Rays’ proposed $2.3 billion Tampa stadium. “Today is a monumental day,” said Commissioner Ken Hagan, who has supported bringing the team to Tampa for nearly two decades. “This is the closest we’ve ever come to finalizing a deal with the Rays.” Commissioners Joshua Wostal and Donna Cameron Cepeda, who voted against the memorandum, disagreed

Former Cuban President Raúl Castro has been indicted in connection to his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two planes operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. The indictment was unsealed on Wednesday. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and other officials are expected to make the announcement in Miami.

The once Golden State has a jungle primary, meaning the top two vote-getters advance to the general election regardless of party. As in the 2024 Senate race, Democrat party leaders are determined to repeat their primary strategy to set up a general election between a Democrat and a Republican. In the 2024 senatorial primary, then-Democratic Representatives Adam Schiff and Katie Porter held the one-two spot for a long time. But the last thing Democrats wanted was for Schiff and Porter to win the jungle primary and advance to the general election, where the two Democrats would spend months and dollars...

A retrial jury has been discharged after it failed to reach verdicts in the case of two brothers accused of assaulting a police officer at Manchester Airport. Scenes of PC Zachary Marsden kicking a prone Asian man in the head in July 2024 sparked outrage, with protesters taking to the streets holding 'Black Lives Matter' placards and calling for the police to be 'defunded'. But there was a fierce backlash when leaked CCTV showed the violence to which PC Marsden and two female colleagues had been subjected just seconds earlier. To widespread public fury, it took 150 days for prosecutors...

There have been persistent rumors that industry insiders are bracing for a widespread shortage of motor oil. Are these rumors accurate? I decided that I was going to investigate this and discover the truth. Unfortunately, I have very bad news. Multiple sources within the industry are confirming that we are facing much higher prices and physical shortages of certain products if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened soon.I realize that what I have just shared is not welcome news, but it isn't going to do any good to stick our heads in the sand.According to Axios, supply chains for...
