National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said on this week’s “Fox News Sunday” that Americans who think he is a “polarizing figure” were people who denied “reality.” Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “When this pandemic started, it is fair to say you were generally regarded as the authority on infectious disease. As time has gone on, you have become a polarizing figure, and critics accuse you of sending mixed messages. There’s allegations that you helped fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab.

Explanation: Most galaxies have a single nucleus -- does this galaxy have four? The strange answer leads astronomers to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in this image. The central cloverleaf is rather light emitted from a background quasar. The gravitational field of the visible foreground galaxy breaks light from this distant quasar into four distinct images. The quasar must be properly aligned behind the center of a massive galaxy for a mirage like this to be evident. The general effect is known as gravitational lensing, and this specific case is known as the...

"The honeymoon is over," political commentator Van Jones declared Tuesday on CNN. "This honeymoon was over faster than Ilhan Omar and her brother," "The Five" co-host Greg Gutfeld retorted. "The real question for people like Van Jones is, ‘What did you expect?’," co-host Katie Pavlich said. She called Biden a "lame-duck president," citing his inability to...

Dr. Peter Navarro is warning the world about stagflation on the horizon as a result of insane Biden policies. He was on Steve Bannon’s War Room to discuss the scenario. Dr. Navarro was on with Newsmax as well: If it was just inflation affecting the United States, that would be “manageable,” but instead a “stagflation” problem like the one that hit the nation in the 1970s is occurring under President Joe Biden, former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told Newsmax on Saturday. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is “printing money,” Navarro told “The Count.” “That’s driving us to what...

"Reports on how mandates could weaken military readiness should concern every American, especially our commander-in-chief."

On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will reopen the nation’s land borders to “nonessential travel” by the fully vaccinated beginning Nov. 1, ending a 19-month pandemic-induced freeze. While the Nov. 1 U.S.-Canada border reopening will enhance Canadian tourism in Florida,...
