There's never been a radio silence quite like this one. After long months with no way of making contact with Voyager 2, NASA has finally reestablished communications with the record-setting interstellar spacecraft. The breakdown in communications – lasting since March, almost eight months and a whole pandemic ago – wasn't due to some rogue malfunction, nor any run-in with interstellar space weirdness (although there's that too). In this instance, it was more a case of routine maintenance. And yet, when you're one of the farthest-flying spacecraft in history – leaving Earth and even the entire Solar System behind you –...

Thursday, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) sounded off on the President Donald Trump campaign filing a lawsuit to have better access for campaign observers at locations where ballots are being processed and counted in the state.

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Civilized nations are bound to obey the law of war embodied in the Geneva Conventions. The Conventions outlaw acts such as the intentional targeting of civilian populations and the creation and stockpiling of biological weapons. Despite those obligations, China is evidently eager to violate the Conventions because of opportunities presented by the advance of medical science. At least since the 2002 publication of “Unrestricted Warfare,” a book by two People’s Liberation Army (PLA) colonels, Chinese military thinking has extended the concept of a battlefield to every aspect of military and civilian existence. The unlimited “battlefield” now means that China...

President Trump tweeted this morning: All of the recent Biden claimed States will be legally challenged by us for Voter Fraud and State Election Fraud. Plenty of proof - just check out the Media. WE WILL WIN! America First! Never surrender. Your President never surrenders. I understand how systemic the counterfeit vote printing by the Democrat Fraud Machine is. However, where there is a will, there is a way.

It turns out many working class voters care more about jobs and sending their kids to school than who Chrissy Teigen or Chelsea Handler says they should vote for. Hollywood elites tried desperately to inspire Americans to vote for Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden this election cycle. Despite a predicted Biden blow out, Tuesday’s narrow results showed their cringe-worthy attempts ultimately fell flat.It turns out, woke celebrities are not as likable as they think they are. Or, maybe Trump’s base is made up of working class folks, who care more about jobs and sending their kids to school than who...

Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A Nova Scotia man said he is hoping to reunite a letter written by a man serving in World War II in 1944 with the soldier's family after finding the note in a box of items he purchased years ago. Arnie Lloyd of Elmsdale said he bought a 1948 Ford F1 car from a family about three years ago, and he also ended up buying some boxes of truck parts and other miscellaneous items from the same seller. Lloyd said he was going through one of the boxes recently when he found a hand-written letter written...

(Photo: Crater of Diamonds State Park) ========================================================================== A 33-year-old Maumelle, Arkansas man, who’s been visiting Crater of Diamonds State Park since a second-grade field trip, has found the second-largest diamond ever discovered there.

The woman in charge of overseeing Pennsylvania's ballot-counting process has repeatedly made pejorative statements attacking President Trump, including ad hominem attacks. Since 2015, Kathy Boockvar, Pennsylvania's secretary of state, has relentlessly attacked Trump on Twitter, starting from when he was an underdog in the GOP primary.

Please circulate this simple little prayer Oh God our Holy Father, for the sake of the just among us, please save our country! Thank you

Joy Reid continued touting her hatred for half the country during Wednesday night’s election coverage on MSNBC. Despairing over how tight the presidential race has been, she complained how “aggravating” the “red mirage” was and how “disappointed” she was that racist Trump voters didn’t get their comeuppance with a Biden blowout on election night. Fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was telling Reid how “fraught” Tuesday night was not knowing the results. Reid agreed, blaming the media’s angst on the “aggravating” “red mirage.” She was disappointed to see how the media’s 4+ year long campaign against the president didn’t result in...

Photo courtesy of Arkansas State Parks ============================================================================ Nov. 5 (UPI) -- An Arkansas man visited the state's Crater of Diamonds State Park and discovered a 4.49-carat sparkling, canary yellow diamond -- the third-largest diamond found in the park this year. Steven McCool, of Fayetteville, said he had decided to spend the day at the park since recent rains had made for optimal diamond-hunting conditions,...

Short essay explains bishops’ complicity in the creation of ‘the most anti-Catholic party in modern history’ America is at a stage in history where there are 'more Catholics in public service, but less Catholic influence over public life, than ever before.' WASHINGTON, D.C., November 4, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – How did the pro-abortion Democrat Party, which boasts numerous “Catholic” members including presidential candidate Joe Biden, turn into one of the most anti-Catholic organizations in the country?   In a new essay at The Federalist, Christopher Bedford points the finger at the Catholic Church: “Through 2020’s disease, uncertainty, government power over religion, and attacks on saints and churches, our bishops have chosen the path of secular popularity.” Biden, for example, is “pro-late-term abortion,...

It would be mystifying if Republicans won more seats in the House, retained the Senate, and picked up state legislative seats, all while the same voters voted against Trump. Since Joe Biden was picked to be the Democratic Party’s presidential puppet, we have been told he would win the presidency by a blowout. Political media has been speculating eagerly about another “blue wave” that would wash over the nation in line with their preposterous polls showing Biden winning by as much as 17 or even more points. A week ago, the Washington Post, citing its new poll, reported that Biden...

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell on Wednesday released a statement about the “wildly wrong” polling, calling it “deliberate.” Here’s Bozell’s full statement: “While votes are still being counted and the outcome of the election is undetermined, there is one thing we can say with certainty: once again, the polls weren’t just wildly wrong, they were deliberately wildly wrong. This was no mistake. These were the same pollsters who predicted the same thing four years ago, day after day after day: there was no way Donald Trump could win. It was clear then that they were attempting to suppress the...

The head of Kansans for Life is ecstatic today after a pro-life candidate for the U.S. Senate defeated his pro-abortion opponent by a large margin despite her spending millions. “KFL PAC congratulates Kansas voters for taking a strong stand for life in this year’s costly and hotly contested campaigns all across the state,” said Melissa Leach, KFL PAC Manager. “Fending off pro-abortion candidates and their coastal financial backers was a monumental task, but it paid off as life prevailed at the end of night. The battles were many and pro-life voters rose to the challenges to defeat these candidates up...

Pro-life Montana Sen. Steve Daines easily defeated his pro-abortion challenger Tuesday in a race that Democrat leaders had hoped would help them regain control of the Senate. The Daily Wire reports Daines won re-election against Gov. Steve Bullock, a pro-abortion Democrat. Infamously, Bullock vetoed legislation in 2019 that would have protected newborn babies from infanticide. The Montana Born-Alive Infants Protection Act simply would have required that babies who survive abortions be provided with the same medical care as any other infant born at that stage of development. In contrast, Daines has a 100-percent pro-life voting record from the National Right...

The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) announced a new plan to search homes for COVID-19 infections with the active cooperation of the IRGC’s paramilitary branch. Hossein Salami said on October 31 on state-run TV that the plan would-be set-in motion on November 10. The IRGC commander used the word “attack” to describe the plan. “We will attack the places where the coronavirus is located and has created a platform for distribution,” Salami said. The IRGC Commander in Chief said the Basij would go “house to house” and quarantine infected people. He also said 54,000 local Basij bases...
