Explanation: Why, sometimes, does part of the Sun's atmosphere leap into space? The reason lies in changing magnetic fields that thread through the Sun's surface. Regions of strong surface magnetism, known as active regions, are usually marked by dark sunspots. Active regions can channel charged gas along arching or sweeping magnetic fields -- gas that sometimes falls back, sometimes escapes, and sometimes not only escapes but impacts our Earth. The featured one-hour time-lapse video -- taken with a small telescope in France -- captured an eruptive filament that appeared to leap off the Sun late last month. The filament is...

A public university in New York is sponsoring an event ahead of Thanksgiving that wishes to “erase” the beloved holiday and replace it, according to a tip received through Young America’s Foundation’s Campus Bias Tipline. On November 8, the University at Buffalo Intercultural and Diversity Center (IDC) is sponsoring an event titled “The Real History of Thanksgiving” as a part of their “Tough Topics” discussion series. “Why is Thanksgiving still celebrated in America when the truth behind the holiday is the massacre of Indigenous communities? How can we erase this whitewashed history for good? Come out to the IDC to...

On Monday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Live,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison argued that Democrats have to “call the lies out” on culture war issues and Republicans “understand that the only path to power for them is to make the American people scared, to come up with all of the dog whistles and the boogeymen and all of that.” Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “Do you need to start addressing more of these culture war issues head-on? Until now, I often hear, this is misinformation, this is nonsense, which it absolutely is. However, this misinformation and nonsense is impacting how people vote. Do...

[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop RocheFr Zed has done us all a service in publishing correspondence between Vincent Cardinal Nichols and Archbishop Arthur Roche concerning he implementation of Traditionis custodes. It is not easy to be optimistic about the future, as long as this calamitous pontificate survives. But more of that below.My first surprise was to read that, in Roche's view, the pre-conciliar Liturgy "was abrogated by Pope Saint Paul VI".Pope Benedict wrote, in Summorum Pontificum Article 1, that the Roman Missal as promulgated in 1962 was "never abrogated". In the accompanying Letter that he wrote to the World's Bishops, he iterated...

Ray Epps, a prominent member of the Oath Keepers, has been implicated as one of the “primary orchestrators” of the first breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. He has never been arrested for his role in the breach and is being protected by the FBI, according to independent media reports. Two citizens confronted Epps at his ranch in Arizona on Oct. 27 to inquire about his alleged role as a federal informant during the events of Jan. 6. Doing the job journalists are paid to do, one ended up being followed and questioned by the FBI, National File...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that Texas should secede if Democrats "fundamentally" destroy the U.S. but added that "he is not ready to give up on America yet." "If the Democrats end the filibuster, if they fundamentally destroy the country, if they pack the Supreme Court, if they make D.C. a state, if they federalize elections if they massively expand voter fraud there may come a point where it's hopeless," Cruz said while speaking at an event at Texas A&M last month. The Republican senator was responding to a question posed by a student in the crowd who asked him...

The administration is pushing to get children ages 5-11 vaccinated. The Associated Press states that 28 million children are eligible for the shots now that the Pfizer vaccine was approved.

A new poll from USA Today and Suffolk University released on Sunday contains a grim snapshot of public sentiment toward the Biden administration. President Joe Biden has been on a months-long slide toward historically poor polling numbers, but yesterday's USA Today/Suffolk poll was even worse for Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden's approval rating hit yet another a new low, this time at 38%, but Harris' dropped to 28%. A 51% majority of respondents said they disapprove of the job Harris is doing as VP. At this early stage of a modern presidency, Harris' numbers in the USA Today/Suffolk poll are...

I have been reluctant to comment on certain well-aired rumors about Joe Biden at international meetings, mainly because a lot of them seem to originate on Chinese "social media", which, hard to believe, is slightly more tightly controlled than American social media. However, this latest incident was big news over the weekend - and we do seem to have a witness, HRH The Duchess of Cornwall:An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.'It...

Alyssa Farah, an ex-aide to former President Trump, says she's deeply concerned about him potentially running in 2024, believing that, given a second term, he would undermine democracy and "weaponize" the government against his political opponents. CNN's Jake Tapper said in a recent interview with Farah, who served as a White House communications director and assistant to the president, that Trump "challenged our institutions near to the breaking point," asking if she believed that he would try to impose "some sort of autocracy" if he returned to the Oval Office. "I think he absolutely would," she replied. "There were things...

To put this in perspective, all that a coup consists of, we have had or are having. We are living in a take over of tis nation and they continue to do what communists do to the people. The vote irregularities were never checked. State after state, and the media, gave the win to Biden the night of the election. We have sat on this since January. States in question have resisted audits. They are not interested in making the election a win for the Republican Party.. They were fine with a senile old man to sit in the Office...
