Explanation: The North America nebula on the sky can do what the North America continent on Earth cannot -- form stars. Specifically, in analogy to the Earth-confined continent, the bright part that appears as Central America and Mexico is actually a hot bed of gas, dust, and newly formed stars known as the Cygnus Wall. The featured image shows the star forming wall lit and eroded by bright young stars, and partly hidden by the dark dust they have created. The part of the North America nebula (NGC 7000) shown spans about 15 light years and lies about 1,500 light...

The pandemic housing boom is over. Welcome to the housing recession. That was the message from the National Association of Home Builders on Monday. The NAHB/Wells Fargo housing market index unexpectedly dropped six points to a reading of 49, below the breakeven point indicating a deteriorating market. This is the eighth straight monthly decline for the index of homebuilder sentiment. Apart from a brief period at the start of the pandemic, this is the first below 50 reading since 2014.

Former President Donald Trump said Monday that FBI agents “stole” his passports last week when they raided his residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla — his latest explosive allegation against federal law enforcement. “Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!” the 45th president added. FBI agents searched Trump’s residence within his ritzy Mar-a-Lago club Aug. 8 in connection to...

DOJ *opposes* the release of the underlying FBI affidavit because "it would serve as a roadmap to the government’songoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps."— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) August 15, 2022I thought Merrick Garland said they wanted to be transparent? Guess that was only until they lost control of the narrative?!? https://t.co/p0PmcWRScf— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 15, 2022

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced the appointment Monday of Simon Stiell from the Caribbean island nation of Grenada as the new U.N. climate chief, calling him, “a true champion” of creative approaches to tackling the global climate crisis.

For carrying a “large wooden stick” on January 6 -- and for things the ex-officer said and believed.. Former police officer Thomas Robertson, who according to CBS News, “stormed the U.S. Capitol” on January 6, 2021, will spend more than seven years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Robertson, 49, was charged with interfering with police officers and “entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon, a large wooden stick.” The seven-year sentence, handed down last Thursday, matches the longest prison term among the Jan. 6 cases to date. Its severity was not entirely the result of...

"Imagine you are having a party and extra people show up unexpectedly but they aren’t thoughtful enough to bring their own wine and beet salad. You have a finite amount of food and beverage in your home, so either you go find more or everyone else gets less than you intended. That is what the globalist left (democRATs, RINO’s, UK Labour Party, German SPD, etc.) are doing to Western civilization, forcing us to compete for our own resources with imported replacement citizens they brought in for reliable left wing voting and cheaper labor costs. If you have less of something...

Boy it is open season for drama queens on Twitter. There is no end to condemnation and smearing of Donald Trump. He’s being called a traitor, a thief and more. Michael Hayden and Michael Beschloss have called for Trump’s execution.

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Monday called on conservatives to join him in not believing the “lies” coming from former President Donald Trump regarding the FBI’s raid of the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home. The former GOP congressman said anybody who still believed Trump’s lies was “stupid” and needed help from a “professional.”

In early 49 B.C., fresh from his conquest of Gaul, Julius Caesar and his Thirteenth Legion approached a small river that separated the Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul from the Roman Republic's heartland. This stream, called the Rubicon, marked the political boundary of Rome's military might: no Roman general could bring men under arms into Italy. But Caesar, politically ambitious, was under threat. His eight-year campaign in Gaul had been deemed illegal by many in the Senate and there were calls for his head.Further, one of his fellow members of the First Triumvirate, Crassus, had been killed in a foolish,...

Reverse deportations are being carried out by the Russian invasion forces: UKRAINIANS who have now being returned from Pskov to the practically destroyed city on the Sea of Azov because the groups of deportees have apparently become an ISSUE for local authorities.

Quadruple vaxxed Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla announced he tested positive for Covid on Monday. And of course he thanked his own vaccine. Bourla also said he started a course of Paxlovid. “I would like to let you know that I have tested positive for #COVID19. I am thankful to have received four doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and I am feeling well while experiencing very mild symptoms. I am isolating and have started a course of Paxlovid.” Bourla said. *** Recall, just one year ago Albert Bourla claimed his Pfizer vaccine was 100% effective in preventing Covid in cases in...

src=https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1559194079623352322/BlWvmO70?format=jpg&name=900x900 width=600> The despicable raid on Mar-a-Lago perfectly exemplifies the ideological battle we are experiencing between liberty and tyranny. The Department of Justice is headed by radical, political apparatchiks, whose actions seem to be dictated by the Soviet Constitution of 1935, rather than our own. Neither the Espionage Act, nor the Presidential Records Act, nor obstruction apply to the President of the United States. The Democrats will do anything to try to crush Donald Trump. THEY WILL FAIL.

(Translation) [Dominican] President Luis Abinader asked the Virgin of Altagracia to keep protecting the Dominican people and "to God to bless us always". The leader pointed out that veneration of the Virgin, which began with a promise from lancers from El Seibo and Higüey to help them survive a battle where the Spaniards defeated the French in 1691, is the same Dominicans have today of the virgin who "will keep being our protector". "She is our mother and, as such, she intercedes with God to favor her children," President Abinader stressed. He said that "there is not a single corner...

It has become clear that Fetterman’s injury was much more severe than his campaign let on. A very dicey performance left some of his followers concerned that Fetterman may not be up for the election — and that his condition is worse than they were led to believe, ABC News reports. Dressed in a hoodie and flanked by his wife at a convention center in Erie, Fetterman discussed his stroke and threw jabs at his opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, in front of an energized crowd of 1,300 people. The lieutenant governor briefly paused in the middle of several sentences and...

These might’ve been the most fateful cold french fries in the history of McDonald’s. A fugitive facing a murder charge was arrested this month after calling 911 over a dispute at a McDonald’s in Georgia. Kennesaw Police Department officers met miffed customer Antoine Sims outside the fast food place on Aug. 5, according to The Telegraph. In body camera footage released by police, Sims claimed that the McDonald’s had ripped him off after serving him cold fries and refusing to offer him new food. The store owner presented a different side of the story. He said Sims threw a drink...

KABUL — Thousands of American citizens still stranded in Afghanistan one year after the Biden Administration's overnight retreat are beginning to suspect the President may not be coming back for them, sources say.

I'm starting to think President Biden isn't going to come for us!" said one citizen who asked for his name to be withheld for his own protection.
