For more than two decades, astronomers have been systematically tracing mystery sources of high-energy gamma rays to their sources. One, however, remained stubborn - the brightest unidentified source of gamma rays in the Milky Way. It seemed to be coming from a binary system 2,740 light-years away, but only one of the stars could be found. Now, astronomers have solved the mystery and pinned down that second star by searching gamma-ray data obtained between 2008 and 2018. Together, the two stars constitute one of the weirdest binary systems we've ever seen. "The binary star system and the neutron star at...

...Wallace's aunt, who identified herself only as Sandy, told Fox News that her nephew had recently gotten married and had several children, ages 5, 7 and 8. "He was turning his life around," she said. "They could have talked to him and calmed him down because I'm quite sure that's part of their training." Rodney Everett, Wallace's uncle, said the officers could have used other tactics to de-escalate the situation.

Intelligent Design Passes Peer Review Life Is Fine-Tuned In his book The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins defined biology as “the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” Though our generation’s arch-atheist recognizes the tendency of human intuition to attribute things wonderful and complex to the work of a designer, he goes on to argue that life is not designed at all. His prior commitment to a worldview that understands the universe to be the product of eons of accidents and natural selection only imitates design is reflected in the book’s title:...

Former President Barack Obama returned to the campaign trail Tuesday to drum up support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, urging voters in the crucial battleground state of Florida to support his former vice president and casting President Trump as an attention-seeker who has turned the White House into a coronavirus hot-spot. Mr. Obama held a drive-in rally in Orlando, during which he urged Florida voters to come up with a plan to cast their ballots early. "This election requires every single one of us, and what we do this week will matter for decades to come," Mr. Obama said...

The Sandman and American Gods author Neil Gaiman recently pointed out the obvious that franchises risk alienating their fans if they don’t stick to the source material.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga - Joe Biden traveled to the hot springs town where Franklin Delano Roosevelt coped with polio on Tuesday to declare the U.S. is not too politically diseased to overcome its health and economic crises, pledging to be the unifying force who can “restore our soul and save this country.” The Democratic presidential nominee offered his closing argument with Election Day just one week away while attempting to go on the political offensive in Georgia, which hasn’t backed a Democrat for the White House since 1992. He has for months promised to be a president for all Americans...

You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy. This is how our world could change by 2030.

CNN this week accused conservatives of trying to ruin Big Tech’s reputation ahead of the election but failed to mention Facebook and Twitter’s censorship of the bombshell New York Post report about Hunter Biden. The CNN story: The piece, penned by CNN’s Brian Fung, suggests that there is a collective effort on the side of conservative to “discredit social media platforms.” He also notes the timing of the criticism, asserting that it escalated shortly before the presidential election. “A right-wing offensive is underway to discredit social media companies just days before the election,” Fund declared. “What began as complaints about...

Democrats are terrified that the Supreme Court will return to deciding cases based on the clear meaning of the Constitution and the laws duly passed by Congress, rather than usurping power to ram through a leftist agenda in the name of preserving “rights” the Founders had never conceived of. Yet Americans aren’t exactly keen on handing unlimited power to nine super-legislators in black robes. In order to prevent a restoration of the Supreme Court’s proper role in America’s constitutional republic, Democrats have to hide their true intentions. They have to convince Americans that originalism does not mean a return to...

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson will be dedicating his entire prime time program Tuesday night to a one-hour interview with Biden family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski. Carlson announced the programming Monday afternoon. -snip- Bobulinski first came forward last week with a public statement emailed to The Federalist and other outlets going on-the-record to corroborate incriminating claims to surface from the New York Post the week prior and the long-anticipated Senate report published in September on the Biden family’s potentially criminal business activity. “Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or...

Around 7 a.m. on Sunday, several cars were driving recklessly along Las Vegas' Hollywood Blvd toward Sahara Blvd, witnesses told police, according to KSNV News 3. The witnesses said that a passenger in a minivan was hanging halfway out of the car, attempting to strike people on the sidewalk. The passenger missed two pedestrians, but then struck a middle-aged woman riding in the bicycle lane further down the road, according to KSNV. "While driving down Hollywood Boulevard, they pulled along-side a female bicyclist and the passenger leaned out of the vehicle window and pushed her to the ground," a press release...

Joe Biden has promised that if he’s elected president, he will set in motion on Day One the largest dismantling of U.S. immigration law enforcement in the history of the republic. On the very day he’s sworn in as president, the oath for which includes a constitutional obligation to “take care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” Biden has pledged to begin a 100-day moratorium on deportations of violators of U.S. immigration law. When deportations resume on Day 101 of his administration, Biden has further promised that “from that point on, the only deportations that will take place are [for...

DeShawn Bojgere, 30, who no longer works for the USPS, was charged with delay or destruction of mail in connection with the ballot dump earlier this month in Louisville, US Attorney Russell Coleman’s office said. More than 100 general election absentee ballots being sent out to voters were discarded in a construction dumpster, prosecutors said.

With novel coronavirus cases rising across the U.S. again, health experts are reiterating the simplest safety measures Americans can take to help protect themselves amid another surge. Along with wearing masks, social distancing and washing hands, some Americans have taken other precautions to clean or sanitize things like phones, groceries and other objects that could potentially harbor the virus. But Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, indicated that might not be necessary.
