MYSTERY WIRE — NASA is preparing to launch its fourth crew of astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule on October 30. The four crew members – three American and one German – have given their blessings to actor William Shatner, who will rocket into space next week — boldly going where no other sci-fi stars have gone before. Speaking ahead of their launch, the crew gave their best Vulcan salutes to space-bound actor William Shatner. Earlier this week, Jeff Bezos’ space travel company, Blue Origin, announced Captain Kirk himself will be rocketing into space from...

It’s mind-blowing, but communist apologists still argue that capitalism’s death count equals communism’s. Here’s a challenge to any communist out there. For a true, apple-to-apple comparison, break it down to 20th Century peacetime demographics. No wars. Just two co-existing systems of government. Linked, you’ll see the communist death count. There is no capitalist count.

Louisiana State University said it rescinded its COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandate to enter Tiger Stadium. “LSU will lift its COVID-19 entrance protocols for Tiger Stadium after consistent and significant decline in COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations across the state of Louisiana and in the Baton Rouge area,” LSU wrote on Twitter Friday. Previously, the school said that fans would have to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test to enter the facility, which holds tens of thousands of people. “We’ve seen our rates drop dramatically over the last couple of weeks, and today the entire state of Louisiana has...

They are trying way too hard. Warning, you’ll never get these four minutes of major cringe back…. [Full Video Here] (at link) On the positive side, the Rebel Alliance meme makers and agitprop audio snarkists are going to have a lot of fun with this footage. Last point, and no I’m not kidding, this official White House video production; presented to improve the public image of Kamala Harris; was created by a production company called “Sinking Ship Entertainment“. [link] I’m serious, you cannot make this stuff up.

The Democrat Party filed in court to demand mail-in voting laws that will ensure Democrats can steal all elections for the foreseeable future. Governor Wolf signed emergency legislation into law without the approval of the state leglislature in 2020 for mail-in voting. Republicans were not able to overturn this in the courts. So on Friday, the Democrats announced they will hold mail-in voting in the state from now on. They pretend this is for voting rights. We all know this is so they can steal all future elections. And, of course, the Republican Party is nowhere to be found. The...

Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Friday afternoon that city employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 will be allowed to stay on the job after Oct. 15 if they take a test for COVID-19 twice a week. As recently as Sept. 22, Lightfoot told reporters that she would not “retreat” from her requirement that all city employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 15, despite intense pushback from the police union and a lack of agreements with other labor organizations. Lightfoot announced the requirement Aug. 25. But with a week to go until her declared deadline, Lightfoot stepped back and said...

Explanation: This pretty starfield spans about three full moons (1.5 degrees) across the heroic northern constellation of Perseus. It holds the famous pair of open star clusters, h and Chi Persei. Also cataloged as NGC 869 (top) and NGC 884, both clusters are about 7,000 light-years away and contain stars much younger and hotter than the Sun. Separated by only a few hundred light-years, the clusters are both 13 million years young based on the ages of their individual stars, evidence that they were likely a product of the same star-forming region. Always a rewarding sight in binoculars, the Double...

Bishop Schneider Explains The Deepest Crisis Of The Catholic Church TodayLink to video of Bishop Scheider

George W. Bush reaffirmed his status as garbage last week, for those few cons still in doubt. Bush got up on the 9/11 anniversary and proceeded to demonstrate, again, the essentiality of class in American society. Not “class” in the sense that he is classy; Bush, though it was very important to him to front that he has such class, in fact, has none. No, the “class” that is important to W is social class. He once again chose his country club pals over you and compounded it by issuing a disgusting blood libel against you. That’s his “thank you”...

CALGARY - With the provincial health restrictions currently in place, prohibiting unvaccinated people from gathering in homes, some families may be faced with tough decisions and conversations about how to deal with members who haven’t yet received their shots. Alice Potkins says she will be abiding by the rules and have a small gathering with her brother’s family. They are all vaccinated so she wouldn’t have to exclude anyone but says if a member wasn’t, she wouldn’t know how to handle it. “That’s a tough one isn’t it?” said Potkins. “It depends on how close I am to that family...

Newsom still hasn't put his bill signing pen down. After more than five years of intense scrutiny and effort, California on Friday became the first state to make ethnic studies a required class for high school graduation to help students understand the past and present struggles and contributions of Black, Asian, Latino, Native/Indigenous Americans and other groups that have experienced racism and marginalization in America. Although critics from across the political spectrum remain, the bill garnered overwhelming support in the Legislature and was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had vetoed a nearly identical measure last year. At...

NEW YORK (WCBS)-New York Police have arrested a woman who is seen on video allegedly pushing a subway rider into an oncoming train on Monday. The incident was captured on a surveillance camera and led to the arrest of 29-year-old Anthonia Egegbara on Tuesday. She is charged with attempted murder. Police said they found her on Tuesday inside the same Times Square station where the day earlier she allegedly pushed a 42-year-old woman into a moving train. The video shows the suspect sitting on a platform bench. Then, as the train comes into view, she suddenly rushes over and appears...

Amazing..I think.

Hillary Clinton's forthcoming political thriller will follow a fictional former presidential administration whose "near criminal incompetence" leads to a global crisis. The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee shared more details about "State of Terror," her fictional co-writing debut with novelist Louise Penny, hitting shelves Tuesday. “This book started really out of a conversation that Louise and I had,” Clinton told "CBS Sunday Morning" in a clip released Friday from an interview poised to air this weekend. “I asked, ‘What’s your nightmare?’” Penny said. In the book, a pair of middle-aged women team up to try to defeat a terror threat that's...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California public schools and colleges must stock their restrooms with free menstrual products under a bill signed Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The move comes as women’s rights advocates push nationwide for affordable access to pads, tampons and other items. California’s latest effort builds on a 2017 law requiring low-income schools in disadvantaged areas to provide students with free menstrual products. It expands the law to include grades 6 to 12, community colleges and the California State University and University of California systems, starting in the 2022-23 school year. It encourages private schools and colleges to...

A report that Jon Gruden used a racist comment about NFL Players Association leader DeMaurice Smith in an email 10 years ago drew a strong and quick rebuke Friday from the NFL. A Wall Street Journal story noted that Gruden, then working for ESPN and now coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, referred in a racist way to Smith’s facial features. “The email from Jon Gruden denigrating DeMaurice Smith is appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the NFL’s values,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “We condemn the statement and regret any harm that its publication may inflict on Mr. Smith...

(CNN Business)Just days after several of its major services went down for about six hours, Facebook is suffering another outage. "We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products," the company said on its verified Twitter account on Friday. "We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience." Instagram, the Facebook-owned photo sharing service, also announced on Twitter that some of its users were facing issues. The disruption initially appeared to be smaller than what those platforms and others faced earlier in the week...
