Explanation: Chaotic in appearance, these tangled filaments of shocked, glowing gas are spread across planet Earth's sky toward the constellation of Cygnus as part of the Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, an expanding cloud born of the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the original supernova explosion likely reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. The glowing filaments are really more like long ripples in a sheet seen almost edge on, remarkably well separated into the glow of ionized hydrogen atoms shown in blue and oxygen in red hues. Also known as the...

On Chicago: "Misconception" July 23, 2021SECOND CITY COP Are you going to believe Kim Foxx or your lying eyes Chicago? So Kim Foxx's toady held a press conference last month – a training session actually – during which he attempted to "train" the media on how to properly report Foxx's massive failures in prosecuting crime:‍ "A top advisor to Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx told reporters last month that it’s a “misconception” to say gun violence is skyrocketing in Chicago." “2020 did have a lot of shootings in it,” Matthew Saniie, Foxx’s chief data officer, said. “But it’s also...

The "Serendipity Sapphire" weighs 2.5 million carats. A massive sapphire cluster worth as much as $100 million has been unearthed by workers digging a well in the backyard of a Sri Lankan home, authorities said. “The person who was digging the well alerted us about some rare stones. Later we stumbled upon this huge specimen,” the owner, who only wanted to be identified by his last name Gamage, told the outlet. “I have never seen such a large specimen before. This was probably formed around 400 million years ago,” Dr. Gamini Zoysa, a top gemmologist, told the BBC. “Given the...

President Biden said Tuesday that he has been briefed on Russian efforts to spread misinformation related to the 2022 midterm elections. “Look what Russia is already doing already about the 2022 elections and misinformation,” Biden said during the speech at the Office of Director of National Intelligence, referencing information he said was contained in his President’s Daily Brief, or PDB. “It’s a pure violation of our sovereignty.” Biden said the intelligence community needs to “take on the rampant disinformation that is making it harder and harder for people to assess the facts, be able to make decisions.”

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) regressed Tuesday, wearing a mask again after the CDC issued new recommendations. Whitmer lifted her mask order for fully vaccinated people in mid-May, but during a Detroit press conference today, was spotted sporting one. Whitmer, who was fully vaccinated in June, left the door open to another mandate. “I do not anticipate another pandemic order, not in the near future and maybe not ever,” Whitmer said, the Detroit Free Press reported. “The fact of the matter is we now know a lot about this virus, we’ve got vaccines. The best way to stay safe is...

(CNN)President Joe Biden said Tuesday that requiring Covid vaccinations for all federal employees is "under consideration," a day after the Department of Veterans Affairs announced that health care workers at the agency must get their shots.

“The governor was in Sonoma County Monday addressing the homelessness crisis and was asked whether all the money the state is spending could be a magnet for the unhoused to come to California.” Newsom answered: “To the extent people want to come here for new beginnings and all income levels, that’s part of the California dream and we have a responsibility to accommodate and enliven and inspire and the California dream is still alive and well.”

The fascist left obviously learned nothing from the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, where the healthy were persecuted as walking biohazards simply because they were gay. Today, the healthy being persecuted as biohazards are the unvaccinated. Those who choose not to get vaccinated are almost no threat to those of us who are vaccinated, and yet they are the ongoing targets of the left’s rising bigotry, hate, and social exclusion. This is reprehensible behavior, straight-up bigotry, and like all acts of bigotry, history will not be kind to the bigots. There is, though, one vital difference between AIDS and the...

Warpaint won’t be running at Arrowhead anymore.”

It turns out novelist Peter Benchley, director Steven Spielberg and the “Jaws” book and movie were right – you don’t want to go swimming off the coast of Massachusetts. According to the latest reports, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is now considered to be the shark capital of the world as the U.S. has overtaken Australia for the dubious ‘country with the most shark attacks’ honor. Forget the “We’re #1” chants and the boat – we’re gonna need a bigger warning sign.
