This week will be dominated by a “Blue Moon,” the second full Moon of the month, which rises at dusk on Saturday’s Halloween. It will be the first full Moon to do that since 1944. However, before we get treated to a “Halloween Hunter’s Blue Moon,” our satellite will glide close to the bright red planet Mars. It’s still so bright because it was recently at opposition, the closest to Earth that it gets. The weekend also sees the opposition of Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, which will just about be a naked eye sight for those lucky...

Hillary Clinton admits the very idea of a victory for President Trump on Election Day makes her literally “sick to my stomach.” Clinton, the former Secretary of State who lost to Trump in embarrassing fashion in 2016, said the notion that he could win again is nauseating. “I can’t entertain the idea of him winning, so let’s just preface it by that,” Clinton said in a podcast on the New York Times network with journalist Kara Swisher. “Well, because it makes me literally sick to my stomach to think that we’d have four more years of this abuse and destruction...

The Supreme Court has voted 5-3 to deny a request by Republicans to overturn a decision by Democratic authorities in North Carolina to allow mail-in ballots to be counted nine days after Election Day and without a witness signature. Justices Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas dissented, though only Gorsuch and Alito signed the dissent. Newly-sworn-in Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not participate in the decision. As Breitbart News previously reported: Democrats engineered the changes to mail-in voting through a “consent decree” between Democratic Party-aligned groups on the one hand, and state election authorities on the other. The state...

Kimberly Budd is poised to take the reins as chief justice of the state’s Supreme Judicial Court where she promises to foster a “team of equals” and draw on her lifetime of experience. Budd has served the Massachusetts judiciary for 11 years. She was first nominated by Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick in 2009 to the state Superior Court when the late Chief Justice Ralph Gants vacated the bench to join the SJC. In her 2016 confirmation hearing, Budd laid out her opposition to the death penalty and to imposing mandatory minimum sentences. She also said she doesn’t “see any reason...

Explanation: Why is the Lobster Nebula forming some of the most massive stars known? No one is yet sure. Cataloged as NGC 6357, the Lobster Nebula houses the open star cluster Pismis 24 near its center -- a home to unusually bright and massive stars. The overall blue glow near the inner star forming region results from the emission of ionized hydrogen gas. The surrounding nebula, featured here, holds a complex tapestry of gas, dark dust, stars still forming, and newly born stars. The intricate patterns are caused by complex interactions between interstellar winds, radiation pressures, magnetic fields, and gravity....

...All of this is known and I have written at length about it but why is the world continuing to ignore logic and instead succumb to irrational fear? I think the reason is actually more devious than just panic. The country benefiting most from economic shutdowns around the world is China. The Chinese economy has been the least affected by Covid-19 when compared with anywhere else around the globe. The Chinese economy is expected to grow by 1.6% while the world economy contracts by 5.2%. It’s indisputable China was responsible for the SARS- CoV 2 virus; overwhelming evidence shows that...

Tucker Carlson covering more of Biden corruption from Bobulinski interview and tech tyrant censorship.

A senior Oregon health official donned a clown costume prior to announcing the daily death toll from coronavirus. Claire Poche, a senior official of the Oregon Health Authority, made the announcement dressed in a red tie, polka dot shirt, bright yellow pants, and a full face of clown makeup. ADs “As of today, there have been 38,160 cases of COVID-19 in Oregon, with 390 new cases being reported today,” announced the harlequin impersonator. “Sadly, we are also reporting three deaths today, bringing the statewide total for COVID-19-related deaths to 608,” she somberly continued in heavy contrast to her attire. Without...

On the face of it, markets tumbling less than a week before the election doesn’t look like a good thing. The Dow has fallen over 7% in the past nine trading days, with Nov. 3 just around the corner (the S&P 500 has followed suit, dropping roughly 6%). While spiking coronavirus cases and a lack of a stimulus deal are certainly driving some investor angst, does a pre-Election Day sell-off bode ill for Trump’s re-election? “All else equal, a weaker stock market could certainly help Biden,” LPL’s Jeff Buchbinder tells Fortune. “On the margin [it’s] a little bit worse for...

Before he was shot to death Monday by police, a knife-wielding Walter Wallace Jr. had at least three standing protection from abuse orders filed against him, by his mother and the mother of his children. On March 3rd, Wallace was arrested for stabbing the mother of his children, Big Trial has previously reported. According to court records detailed in a new report by Mitch Blacher of NBC 10, the cops arrested Wallace in March after he told the mother of his children, "I'll shoot you and that house up." ---SNIP--- In 2016, during a robbery, Wallace allegedly grabbed a woman...

Denver Newsroom, Oct 28, 2020 / 03:56 pm MT (CNA).- Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco has asked the Marin County district attorney to prosecute those arrested after an Oct. 12 riot at a mission church to the “full extent of the law,” after several of the rioters defaced and pulled to the ground a statue of St. Junipero Serra. “This attack on a cherished religious symbol on our own church property is not a minor property crime, but an attack on Catholics as a people,” Cordileone wrote in an Oct. 26 letter to Lori Frugoli, the Marin County district...

Tucker says that Biden documents that were mailed to him in LA by his NY producer vanished en route -- a major shipper was used and they have been unable to determine who opened the package and stole the Biden documents.

8-12 PEOPLE TURNED OUT (FROM PHOTO COUNTS) TO SEE KAMALA HARRIS IN TUCSON ON WEDNESDAY. THIS IS SIX DAYS BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION! This is despite the fact that the rally was advertised for several days!

Tucker just stated documents that were being sent to him disappeared. Carrier can't figure out how package got open and documents disappeared.

I find these comments from the Pope unthinkable in light of the Word of God,’ said Franklin Graham.October 27, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis’ pronouncement seemingly supporting the legalization of homosexual civil unions has not only caused confusion and recoil among many Catholics. It also invited criticism from Protestant leaders who see him departing from Bible truths. “The news has reported that Pope Francis said in a new documentary that ‘homosexuals have a right to be part of the family’ and is calling for civil union laws for same-sex couples,” noted Evangelist Franklin Graham, son of the late Rev. Billy...

Jack Denton reinstated in First Amendment winALLAHASSEE, Fla. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Florida State University (FSU) Catholic student unjustly removed as president of the student senate has been reinstated. On Monday, Jack Denton was reinstalled to his post as president of the Student Government Association Senate by the FSU Supreme Court. Denton, a political science major, was voted out of office in June owing to comments he made in support of Church teaching in a private Catholic chat room. He reportedly expressed concern that the positions of groups like Black Lives Matter and the American Civil Liberties Union contradict Church teaching....

...Furthermore, Sweden is now experiencing the lowest all-case mortality month on record. What's becoming clear is that the virus might kill some people several months early but might also kill those who, statistically speaking, should have died in the previous year. Consequently, unlike during the Spanish flu – when the median age of death was 29 and the world still suffered from bad flu seasons throughout the 1920s – we will not see a lot of excess deaths in the long run (except for lockdown deaths). Already in the spring, a researcher at the University of Cambridge published a working...

When the NY Times came out with a “blockbuster” article last year from “Anonymous,” they classified the author as a “high-level administration official.” We now know who that official was. It’s Miles Taylor. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Speculation at the time pointed to Vice President Mike Pence, then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, and a handful of other high-level administration officials. Taylor, on the other hand, was Chief of Staff for the Department of Homeland Security. To put that position into perspective, the current...
