Explanation: Braided and serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggest this nebula's popular name, The Medusa Nebula. Also known as Abell 21, this Medusa is an old planetary nebula some 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Like its mythological namesake, the nebula is associated with a dramatic transformation. The planetary nebula phase represents a final stage in the evolution of low mass stars like the sun as they transform themselves from red giants to hot white dwarf stars and in the process shrug off their outer layers. Ultraviolet radiation from the hot star powers the nebular glow. The Medusa's transforming...

Jeb Bush RetweetedComing 2 America was great, I don't know what everyone is bitching and moaning about. Terrific cast, nice balance of 80s nostalgia and new jokes. Just a dumb, fun movie with no agenda other than to make you laugh. I got exactly what I expected from it. pic.twitter.com/nbHGIAjZNe— John Noonan (@noonanjo) March 25, 2021

A watchdog group is claiming that a U.S. bio-research nonprofit failed to follow U.S. law and publicly disclose its taxpayer-funded grants to a Chinese coronavirus laboratory under scrutiny for its immediate proximity to the COVID-19 pandemic. The White Coat Waste Project, a group dedicated to stopping taxpayer funding of what it claims is "wasteful and cruel animal experimentation," claimed last week in a filing to the National Institutes of Health's Division of Program Integrity that EcoHealth Alliance has engaged in "widespread violations of federal spending transparency law" by way of numerous press releases over the past several years. Federal tax...

The number of vessels stuck in a traffic jam outside the Suez Canal rose to 200 Friday as recent efforts to free a cargo ship wedged between the Canal’s two banks failed. Dislodging the stuck ship, the Ever Given, could take up to a week, and the vessel can encounter structural issues while it remains stuck, a salvage expert told the Associated Press (AP). The Suez Canal handles approximately 12% of international trade. Its recent blockage threatens to harm the world economy and poses a disruption to global supply chains, CNBC reported.... The ensuing traffic jams forced several cargo ships...

Researchers in Mexico have introduced a new coronavirus mask that covers only the nose, allowing those terrified over the virus to participate in the mask fad while nominally eating at the same time. CBS News touted the game-changing innovation in a video on Twitter. It’s totally unclear how this is even going to reduce transmission of the virus. Obviously, if you’re eating, viral molecules can still escape your open mouth or even your eyes. The science attesting to the utility of masks was always dubious, with death rates roughly the same- or even more- in jurisdictions that utilized mandatory mask...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the filibuster was “allowing for systematic racism in the country.” The statement came as Psaki was asked if President Joe Biden thought the filibuster was a legacy of the Jim Crow era in 2005 when he defended the filibuster.

Over just a few hours Thursday, Georgia's Legislature and Gov. Brian Kemp drew the first battle line in the high-stakes struggle to decide how American voters will cast ballots in the future after the pandemic-ridden election of 2020. The Republican-controlled state put itself firmly in the camp of voter ID requirements, limited drop boxes and expanded weekend voting. And depending on the eye of the beholder, it was either a win for election integrity or a return to the era of Jim Crow voter suppression. And the debate may be coming soon to a ballot box near you, as conservatives...

‘We’ve offered U.S. assistance to Egyptian authorities to help reopen the canal,’ White House says

A federal district court judge ruled Thursday caps on religious services in Washington D.C. were unconstitutional going into the Easter holiday. Judge Trevor N. McFadden, appointed under former President Donald Trump in 2017, concluded the district’s guidelines set the nation’s capital apart from the 37 states with no attendance caps on church gatherings. The ruling comes just in time for Easter Sunday on April 4, one year after the holiday was interrupted by state and local officials who implemented guidelines to ban large congregations. Restrictions targeting religious services quickly became a theme of the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. In Louisville, Democratic...

The modern movement to rationally deal with accelerating tyranny picked up steam in 2013 upon publication of Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments. Between the thunder of his radio show, and eleven prescriptions to restore free government, Levin reminded us that federalism was the foundation of the unique and proven American system. Federalism is the means to put the ends of the Declaration of Independence into practice. The bold declaration that government exists to secure unalienable rights was refined in the Preamble of the Constitution: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,...

After the Trump administration and then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin put together what was hailed as the fastest delivery of stimulus payments in history, the Biden administration is receiving criticism for a slow delivery from its $1.9 trillion spending package passed earlier this month. And the criticism is coming from House Democrats, ( The Hill reported), which is pinning blame on the IRS and Social Security Administration (SSA) holdovers from the Trump administration.The payments most delayed are individuals already on government assistance, The Hill reported.[snip]Many people who receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement Board or Veterans Affairs benefits —...

The White House is confirming that President Joe Biden intends to push ahead with plans to increase gun control laws via executive order. The news comes in the wake of two mass shootings earlier this month, in Atlanta and Boulder, Colo., in which a total of 18 people were killed. The violent episodes have renewed the debate over gun control, with Congress continuing to appear too sharply divided on the issue to make passage of legislation appear very likely.

After the tragic shooting in a Boulder grocery store, the racist illogic reared its head. "It's always an angry white man. always," tweeted a "race and inclusion editor" at USA Today. A senior editor at Deadspin tweeted: "Extremely tired of people's lives depending on whether a white man with an AR-15 is having a good day or not." Kamala Harris's niece, Meena, offered: "violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country." LinkImage below: It turns out the suspected shooter wasn’t white. The suspect’s name is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. And the fact that he is alleged to...

MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark said players are ready to discuss moving the summer's All-Star game out of Atlanta after the state legislature passed an election reform bill restricting voter access, the Boston Globe reported. The 91st MLB All-Star game is scheduled for the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park on July 13 and they're planning to have full capacity. "Among highlights, the bill would require a photo ID in order to vote absentee by mail, after more than 1.3 million Georgia voters used that option during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also would cut the time period people have to...

U.S.—Service stations across the country have begun widening their signs in preparation for higher gas prices, sources confirmed Thursday. The wider signs allow for prices up to eight digits long, "an absolute necessity" for the Biden presidency, according to local fuel station franchise owners. "We're gonna need a bigger sign," gas station owner Amir Wallenfeld said in an interview with a local news station in Los Angeles. "This should get us through the first few years of the Biden presidency, though we're looking for a bigger one should he be reelected in 2024, should he live that long."
