MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch called Fox News host Tucker Carlson is a “ratings *****” Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “I don’t know if you were there that day, Donny, but I remember Trump saying to Joe, you know, we do bad things too, and Joe said Putin is a killer. I mean, has Trump’s embrace of Putin and Tucker following his lead or leading him now, I don’t know who leads who this the Tucker-Trump relationship, but has that made it harder for any American president now to lead this country in terms of a challenging Russia...

Explanation: Which direction is this comet heading? Judging by the tail, one might imagine that Comet Leonard is traveling towards the bottom right, but a full 3D analysis shows it traveling almost directly away from the camera. With this perspective, the dust tail is trailed towards the camera and can only be seen as a short yellow-white glow near the head of the comet. The bluish ion tail, however, is made up of escaping ions that are forced directly away from the Sun by the solar wind -- but channeled along the Sun's magnetic field lines. The Sun's magnetic field...

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A New York Appellate Judge granted a stay in the state's lawsuit over the COVID-19 face mask mandate, meaning it remains in place while case is appealed -- and schools must enforce it.

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an airworthiness directive (AD) for Boeing aircraft stemming from the use of 5G wireless towers. According to the AD released Tuesday, the radio altimeters on Boeing 777s and 747-8s can “experience interference” from 5G C-band wireless towers. The AD is slated to be published in the Federal Register on January 27. According to the document, the AD “was prompted by the determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G-C band).” Why This Matters The...

The Israeli government is reportedly preparing for the possibility of thousands of Ukrainian Jews immigrating to the Jewish state in the event of a Russian invasion. Representatives of various Israeli government bodies met Sunday to discuss such a development, including the Prime Minister's Office, Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, Diaspora Affairs Ministry, and the Jewish Agency.

President Joe Biden warned the world Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin could invade Ukraine, which would be the largest global invasion since World War II. “This would be the largest, if you were to move in, we’re almost forced to do the largest invasion since World War Two,” Biden said. “And it will change the world.”

Like much of Central Texas, Liberty Hill Independent School District has seen major growth over the last few years. “I have only been here three years and we have grown from a little over 4,000 students to just over 7,000 in those three years,” said Steve Snell, Liberty Hill ISD superintendent. “About 30% of our new families were moving from California, 30% were moving from the other urban areas in Texas. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio.”

“The tempter came and said to Him . . . Then the devil . . . Again, the devil . . .” (Matthew 4:3, 5, 8). Our temptations are similar in kind to what Jesus faced. First, Satan tries to get us to distrust God’s providential care and solve our own difficulties by our own strength and cleverness. Second, the devil will tempt us to presume on the Lord’s protection by having us willingly place ourselves in danger’s pathway, where we can meet all kinds of physical and spiritual harm. Third, he appeals to our selfish ambitions in hopes we...

There is a repeated pattern throughout the history of the Old Testament where God set up a shepherd over a household or a family, but that shepherd failed to lead completely righteously. It can seem so confusing at first, but God has a point. First, though, let’s look at the leaders he raised up. You have Adam, the first shepherd over his family. In his silence and passivity, he allowed his wife to go off into sin. Instead of rebuking and correcting her, he entered into that same sin with her. He wasn’t a faithful shepherd. You go on then...

My colleague Andrea Widburg covered a remarkable incident of obnoxious Karens bullying — and even assaulting — a Black man in an elevator for not wearing a mask. If you haven't looked at it yet, click here to observe what looks like aggressive insanity. But the day would not be complete without taking a look at another aspect of COVID insanity that is so over the top that laughter is almost impossible to avoid. The video was shot at the anti-vax mandate rally on the Mall in Washington, D.C., as a woman who evidently works with children, judging by her...

Paivi Rasanen, a medical doctor and MP for a small Christian-democratic party since 1995, called homosexuality "a developmental disorder" in an online opinion letter published in 2004 and "a shame and a sin" on Twitter in 2019, the prosecutor said. In a programme broadcast by Finnish public radio station Yle in 2019, Rasanen described homosexuality as a form of "genetic degeneration", the prosecutor added, charging her with three counts of agitation against gay people. In her 2004 opinion piece, Rasanen claimed that scientific evidence proved undeniably that homosexuality was a disorder in a person's psychosexual development and she suggested that...

A national truck convoy is making its way through British Columbia, Alberta on Sunday, before heading toward Ottawa, to protest the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for truckers that cross the Canada-United States border.

My workplace is considered a federal contractor because it has some federal contracts. As you may know, courts have blocked Brandon's vaccine mandates for federal workers/contractors. As my workplace wants to re-open and a big portion of the staff are jabbed, they are going to implement their own mandates. Well even though the whole Brandon mandate was illegal and the courts blocked them, it gave an excuse to employers to mandate them.

The central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan suffered electrical power outages in major cities on Tuesday, according to authorities and residents, after a major power line in Kazakhstan was disconnected. The grids of the three ex-Soviet republics are interconnected, and via Kazakhstan are linked to the Russian power grid which they can use to cover unexpected shortages. But Kazakhstan's North-South power line, which links densely populated southern Kazakhstan and its two neighbours to major power stations in northern Kazakhstan and the Russian network, was disconnected on Tuesday morning due to "emergency imbalances" in the Central Asian part of...

Most voters believe former President Donald Trump was a better commander-in-chief than President Joe Biden, a Harvard-Harris Poll released this week found. The survey, taken January 19-20, 2022, among 1,815 registered voters, asked respondents who they thought was or “has been” a better president — Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

That same survey also pitched a hypothetical 2024 matchup between Biden and Trump and found Trump leading six percentage points — 46 percent to...
