Hillary Clinton has a new Apple-tv series named “Gutsy”. Naturally, Hillary described Nancy Pelosi as “gutsy” on CNN’s State of the Union with Dana Bash on Sunday. I might have called San Fran Nan “ballsy”, and not in a good way. But, when Hillary compared Nancy to the late Queen Elizabeth II, just days after the Queen’s death, I responded, “Oh, no you dint”. Other than two XX Chromosomes, the two women have nothing in common. Zip, zilch, zero.Victory Girls’ Lisa is suffering through “Gutsy” and will review it soon. We thank her for her sacrifice. Watching the trailer for...

Suzy Weiss is a 27-year-old journalist who is bright, thoughtful, and very lonely.

Launch YouTube, Facebook, or a search engine in Illinois these days - or worse, make the mistake of turning on the television - and you will likely be deluged with television commercials about the so-called "Workers' Rights Amendment," which will appear on our ballot across Illinois next month. Depending on the commercial, this amendment could be presented as being about anything from patients in a hospital being viewed as dollar bills, or dangers in a workplace, or a threat to a worker's right to unionize. Talk about a proposed law being “all things to all people!” In truth, this state...

Explanation: What are those red filaments in the sky? They are a rarely seen form of lightning confirmed only about 35 years ago: red sprites. Research has shown that following a powerful positive cloud-to-ground lightning strike, red sprites may start as 100-meter balls of ionized air that shoot down from about 80-km high at 10 percent the speed of light. They are quickly followed by a group of upward streaking ionized balls. The featured image was taken late last month from the Jeseniky Mountains in northern Moravia in the Czech Republic. The distance to the red sprites is about 200...

former FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn believed statements by candidate Biden such as “If and when the vaccine comes, it’s not likely to go through all the tests that need to be done” and by candidate Harris that she wouldn’t take a vaccine promoted by Trump, unfairly cast doubt on the FDA. The Biden/Harris campaign website explicitly maligned Hahn and the FDA. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer also questioned the safety of the vaccines then in development and the FDA’s integrity, claiming the agency was succumbing to Trump administration pressure. He was joined by then New York Governor and media...
