A week has gone by but the stadium "fiasco" remains a hot issue in France, with new and harrowing accounts about the breakdown in law and order when the match had come to an end.

Explanation: With this creative astro-collaboration you can follow the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy as it bridges northern and southern hemisphere skies. To construct the expansive composite nightscape, skies over Observatorio El Sauce in Chile (top) were imaged on the same date but 6 hours later than the skies over the Saint-Veran observatory in the French Alps. The 6 hour time-lag allowed Earth's rotation to align the Milky Way above domes at the two sites. All exposures were made with similar cameras and lenses mounted on simple tripods. A faint greenish airglow is visible in the dark Chilean sky...

The great sin in what happened in Texas is that an 18-year-old with murder in his heart walked into a public school and shot to death 19 kids and two teachers. The great shock is what the police did—their incompetence on the scene and apparent lies afterward. This aspect has rocked the American people. Uvalde wasn’t an “apparent law-enforcement failure.” It is the biggest law-enforcement scandal since George Floyd, and therefore one of the biggest in U.S. history. Children, some already shot, some not, were trapped in adjoining classrooms. As many as 19 cops were gathered in the hall just...

Over the last two weeks, the United States has had three high-profile mass shootings, Buffalo, NY; Uvalde, TX; and Tulsa, OK. So naturally, the gun-grabbers are on the attack, and most Republican politicians are running like scalded dogs from any defense of the Second Amendment and the God-given right of free men and free women to own and carry the means to preserve their lives and the lives of others.There are reports that a bipartisan group of ten senators is working to come up with a gun-control package that will get 60 votes in the Senate. The Democrat contribution to...

The FBI on Friday arrested Trump’s advisor Dr. Peter Navarro at a DC-area airport. Navarro was on his way to Nashville when the Stasi took him into custody in a surprise ambush. According to media reports, Navarro told the judge that he doesn’t need a lawyer because he wants to represent himself. CNN reported: A federal grand jury has indicted former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate in the House January 6 committee’s investigation. During a court appearance in Washington, DC, on Friday, Navarro said that he still wants to represent...

For the first time in 18 years, five planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn — will be sequentially aligned and visible at dawn throughout this month. Those watching from the continental United States should be able to catch a look, as long as they're up early enough, Diana Hannikainen, Sky & Telescope's Observing Editor, told NPR. The five-planet alignment isn't "incredibly rare," Hannikainen said. These planets were last lined up in sequential order in 2004, and it's set to happen again in 2040. "But it's rare enough that if we get the opportunity to step outside in the...

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The cardiologist for John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania who is recovering from a stroke, disclosed Friday that the candidate also has cardiomyopathy, in which the heart muscle becomes weakened and enlarged. The acknowledgment was the first public comment by a doctor for Fetterman since the candidate first took to social media on May 15 to disclose the stroke. In a statement released through the campaign, Fetterman’s cardiologist, Dr. Ramesh Chandra, said Fetterman will be fine if he eats healthy foods, takes prescribed medication and exercises. Cardiomyopathy can impede blood flow and potentially...

SANTA FE — President Joe Biden plans to visit Santa Fe next weekend for a briefing on the wildfires ripping through New Mexico — one of which has grown to 317,000 acres, an area larger than Los Angeles. The president is set to meet June 11 with state officials, first responders and families affected by the fires, according to the White House. It will be Biden’s first visit to New Mexico as president and the state’s first presidential visit since September 2019, when Donald Trump held a rally in Rio Rancho. Biden next week will visit the state Emergency Operation...

Five planets will be visible in the predawn sky this weekend, offering an opportunity for sky watchers to see a rare alignment of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with the naked eye. Beginning Friday and lasting through this month, the five planets will appear strung across the eastern horizon before sunrise. The parade of planets will be aligned in order of their distance from the sun, with Mercury, closest to the star, appearing lowest on the horizon and Saturn highest in the night sky. For the best views, sky watchers in the Northern Hemisphere should head outside roughly 30...

A retired NYPD cop was arrested by US Capitol Police on Friday after he was apprehended with a fake badge, a BB gun, body armor, high-capacity magazines and other ammunition near the Capitol building. Jerome Felipe, 53, of Flint, Mich., was arrested on the west side of the Capitol complex after officers searched his vehicle and discovered the paraphernalia, Capitol Police said in a press release. Ahead of the search, Felipe allegedly told officers he was a criminal investigator with the “Department of the INTERPOL” and handed them a fake badge that listed the agency’s name. Inside the vehicle, officers...

“Enough, enough,” President Joe Biden exclaimed over and over Thursday night, as he delivered an impassioned address to the nation imploring Congress to take action against gun violence after mass shootings he said had turned schools, supermarkets and other everyday places into “killing fields.” If legislators fail to act, he warned, voters should use their “outrage” to turn it into a central issue in November’s midterm elections. [Snip] “How much more carnage are we willing to accept?” Biden asked after last week’s shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde,...

CANADA—A record number of Canadians have suddenly lost their handguns in tragic ice fishing accidents, say officials with the Canadian Firearms Program. According to sources, the majority of missing firearms were reported missing the moment Prime Minister Trudeau finished announcing a slate of new gun laws. Trudeau was reportedly flummoxed by the news. "Ice fishing is a beloved Canadian pastime but it's summertime, ay? You'd have to go up to the Northwest Territories to do any fishing this time of year, you know, but a lot of the missing guns are from citizens of Toronto." "But the people love me,...

This afternoon, President Joe Biden said in a prepared statement that "since he took office… more Americans feel financially comfortable." Biden's claim was part of his speech on the May jobs report where he further said families have less debt and that their savings are up. These remarks are in light of record-high inflation. According to CNBC American consumers ended last year with an accumulative 15.6 trillion dollars of debt, which they described as a "record-breaking increase." In today's remarks, Biden did not clarify the metric he used to qualify his claim. In March of last year, Biden passed...

This book is about thirty years old and it shines a light on what is happening today. Everything we see happening has been developing basically since at least 1850's. It's a pretty breezy read for a 360 page book and can probably be read in completion in an afternoon by most people. I do recommend reading it to get a better handle on the it.

VIDEOIt's the end of an era. The last Howard Johnson's restaurant has just closed. Among the amazing things I found out while researching the subject of Howard Johnson's is that famous French chef Jaques Pépin was hired by the company to improve their menu. Pépin was slated to become a chef at the JFK White House but chose to work on the Howard Johnson's menu instead. Later Pépin co-hosted cooking shows on PBS with Julia Child. This video also reveals how Pépin rendered a CBS reporter speechless.

President Joe Biden's pattern of delivering speeches and hosting events from the so-called 'set of Jeopardy' - the White House's South Court Auditorium - has left White House aides asking, 'why are we doing this?' as he fails to break through. CNN interviewed 14 White House aides and other Democrats close to the president for a story out Thursday, which charted the struggles they've faced trying to get Biden to create the right kind of headlines. 'He has to speak about very serious things,' explained one White House aide to the network, 'and you can't do that getting ice cream.'
