Today's image is a video at link. Explanation: Yes, but have you seen a movie of Jupiter and Saturn's Great Conjunction? The featured time-lapse video was composed from a series of images taken from Thailand and shows the two giant planets as they angularly passed about a tenth of a degree from each other. The first Great Conjunction sequence shows a relative close up over five days with moons and cloud bands easily visible, followed by a second video sequence, zoomed out, over 9 days. Even though Jupiter and Saturn appeared to pass unusually close together on the sky on...

President-elect Joe Biden’s plan to end a series of United States cooperative asylum agreements with Central America will spur “waves” of illegal immigration to the southern border, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Mark Morgan says. As Breitbart News reported, Joe Biden is planning to tear down President Donald Trump’s legal wall that he has built through U.S. agreements with Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador that have helped stem illegal immigration at the southern border and allow federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers to their native countries. Specifically, Biden’s advisers have suggested that they will eliminate U.S....

Ron DeSantis (R) said Wednesday that he will not jump ahead of more vulnerable populations, such as seniors, to receive a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus despite his status as an elected official, telling reporters that he is “not the priority.” “I’m willing to take it, but I am not the priority.

Mark Poloncarz (D-New York) the Executive of Erie County, was caught on video playing hockey with over a dozen others at local rink after his Health Department had shut down another rink nearby for hosting scrimmages. Stefan Mychajliw, the Republican Erie County Comptroller, posted a video showing Poloncarz (seen in all black) with as many as fourteen other people on the ice.Poloncarz was previously been accused of hypocrisy by Mychajliw for skating at the rink, but Poloncarz claimed “no rules were broken” and that he had “skated alone before others had arrived.” “I’m thrilled we can begin the discussion on...

Christmas Eve was supposed to be nice. I made every effort — procuring the traditional Costco spiral ham and cheerfully doing all of the other Christmasy things Mrs. Claus pulls off each year. What I failed to factor in was the threat of arrest and an epic violation of my right to free exercise of religion. Rookie mistake. Our state is governed by a petty tyrant. We’ve had a mask mandate since June and because he has unchecked power and was just reelected, he extends mandates in perpetuity. He has done his best to suck joy out of everything. Unlike...

In the vital lead-up to the Georgia Senate runoff elections on January 5, a pro-Trump PAC announced a key legal victory for election integrity. Janine Eveler, elections director at the Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration, had allegedly restricted Republican poll watchers. After the local Republican Party filed a lawsuit alongside the pro-Trump PAC Committee to Defend the President, Eveler signed a consent decree guaranteeing poll watchers’ access. Ted Harvey, the PAC’s chairman, applauded Judge George Kreeger of the Cobb County Superior Court for “helping us bring accuracy, fairness, and transparency to Georgia. Because of this ruling, the county’s...

Hawley is the first Senate Republican to do so Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Wednesday became the first Republican senator to publicly say he will object to the certification of the presidential election results when a joint session of Congress meets in one week to formally certify President-elect Joe Biden's 306-232 Electoral College victory over President Trump. Roughly a dozen Trump supporters in the House – led by Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama – have said they will challenge the slate of electors from six battleground states where Biden narrowly edged Trump in last month's election. But the challenge of...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday criticized Senate Republicans, and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) specifically, for blocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) request for unanimous consent on approving $2,000 stimulus checks for the American people, contending the Senate GOP possesses “an endless tolerance for other people’s sadness.” McConnell, Pelosi told reporters, is standing as an “obstruction” to providing direct relief to the American people following his move to block Democrat efforts for quick approval of raising individual stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000.

After a couple of weeks of precious little real movement at all, some significant developments took place today on the Trump election challenge front. First, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) let it be known via a tweet that he will file a formal challenge to the certification of the Electoral votes by both houses of congress scheduled to take place on January 6: VDO.AI Although several GOP members of the House of Representatives have stated that they would also challenge the certification, Hawley becomes the first Republican senator to make a similar commitment. “I cannot vote to certify the electoral college...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that the new, more easily transmissible strain of coronavirus found recently in the United Kingdom had also been discovered in California. Newsom made the announcement during a discussion on Facebook Live with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

We were banned from Parler! We are still in shock. After being lured to the platform with the promise of a "free speech town square" we were banned. We received no warning and no explanation. We didn't post anything on our Parler that we didn't also post to FB and Twitter, so it comes as a great shock that PARLER, the one openly calling themselves the "free speech alternative" is the one that bans us. It's been 4 days now and and no response. We've read their TOS and guidelines multiple times and can confirm that we broke none of...

Here’s a suggested communication from y’all fortunate enough to have a non-Progressive US Senator “representing your interests”. BTW, I live in Ca so there is no sense in my trying this since the two most worthless twits in the Senate were put there by my neighbors. Identify your Senator; RINO, Independent, or real conservative; and send them a missive emphasizing the following: if not so much as a single Senator stands up and formally objects (along with expected Representatives) to the electors, you all go down. Pick lots if you must. We know that regardless of the outcome, the Senator...

In San Francisco, $5,000 grants are being given by the city to small businesses suffering from the coronavirus pandemic, but there’s more to the story than that: the money is being used to meet the city’s “equity goals,” which means that among those businesses that are prioritized are “minority-owned businesses including women-owned, immigrant-owned, people of color-owned businesses,” and those in certain “cultural districts.”

.@BrianKempGA, his puppet Lt. Governor @GeoffDuncanGA, and Secretary of State, are disasters for Georgia. Won’t let professionals get anywhere near Fulton County for signature verifications, or anything else. They are virtually controlled by @staceyabrams & the Democrats. Fools!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2020

Walmart apologized to GOP Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday after a tweet from its official account called the Missouri lawmaker a “sore loser.” The retailer blamed a member of its social media team for the since-deleted snarky tweet, saying the employee had intended to send it from their personal account. Earlier Wednesday, Hawley tweeted a statement announcing he would object to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory at the Electoral College certification process in the Senate on Jan. 6. Walmart responded to the tweet, writing: “Go ahead. Get your 2 hour debate. #SoreLoser.” Hawley, a rising star in the GOP, fired back,...

We all know that POTUS has asked all of us to come to Washington for the "wild" protest. I'm heading there from Minnesota this weekend. Who else is going, and where are you coming from?
