Women protesting against the suicide bombing of a school in Afghanistan, which killed 35 young Hazara women and girls on Friday, have been beaten and shot at by Taliban according to witnesses. Dozens of women from the Hazara community protested against the attack on the Kaaj educational centre in Dasht-e-Barchi, a neighbourhood home to the Shia Hazara community in western Kabul. Those who died in the attack were mostly Hazara women aged between 18 to 24 years who had been preparing for an exam. Women who gathered to demonstrate against the killings on Friday said Taliban forces opened fire and...

Yesterday, on October 1st, Ukrainian media got flooded with reports about some suspicious containers that were planted underground as they appeared in the drone footage published by Ukrainian soldiers. Dozens of strange-looking spheres were put in a trench with an explosive charge from the UR-77 vehicle. Instantly, a suggestion appeared that those were containers with chemical weapons, and they looked like ones, indeed. Another variant was that it is some sort of a "conventional" trap against the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, it turned out to be preparations for the shooting of a propaganda movie, according to the latest reports. The...

The Russians bring the newly mobilized to the front. The Ukrainian forces are attacking the Kryvyi Rih axis.

Information is published in the Telegram channel of the South Operational Command. The report says that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a significant amount of military equipment and manpower. This made it possible for the Ukrainian defenders to push the occupiers beyond the watermelon monument, which is located near the village of Osokorivka,...

MI GOP SOS candidate Kristina Karamo is a force to be reckoned with. Karamo, who is a magnificent speaker, didn’t disappoint last night while speaking at President Trump’s Save America rally in Warren, MI, where she explained how Americans are losing their grip on our once great nation and how we are “up against” tyrants who are not liberals but instead are “authoritarians.” 100 Percent Fed Up reports – During her fiery speech, Karamo explained how the hypocrisy of Democrats. “Doesn’t the media say, ‘We like to elevate black voices?’ and then look what they do to me!” Karamo said...

Explanation: What could shoot out a neutron star like a cannon ball? A supernova. About 10,000 years ago, the supernova that created the nebular remnant CTB 1 not only destroyed a massive star but blasted its newly formed neutron star core -- a pulsar -- out into the Milky Way Galaxy. The pulsar, spinning 8.7 times a second, was discovered using downloadable software Einstein@Home searching through data taken by NASA's orbiting Fermi Gamma-Ray Observatory. Traveling over 1,000 kilometers per second, the pulsar PSR J0002+6216 (J0002 for short) has already left the supernova remnant CTB 1, and is even fast enough...

Explanation: Observe the Moon every night and you'll see its visible sunlit portion gradually change. In phases progressing from New Moon to Full Moon to New Moon again, a lunar cycle or lunation is completed in about 29.5 days. Top left to bottom right, this 7x4 matrix of telescopic images captures the range of lunar phases for 28 consecutive nights, from the evening of July 29 to the morning of August 26, following an almost complete lunation. No image was taken 24 hours or so just after and just before New Moon, when the lunar phase is at best a...

It’s an incredible time to be a woman. No, really, it is. The UK has its third female prime minister, all from the Conservative Party. As Liz Truss remarked to Theresa May: “It is quite extraordinary, isn’t it, that there doesn’t seem to be the ability in the Labour Party to find a female leader?” The past week brought the exciting news that Italy has elected its first female prime minister. Giorgia Meloni, who was raised by a single mother in a working-class district of Rome, has been the leader of the Brothers of Italy political party since 2014, and...

Our country is being destroyed. It’s clearly a purposeful communist attack upon America from a thousand different directions. But the President isn’t Biden. He is just the figurehead/puppet. The real president is Obama. This is clearly the third term of Obama. His fingerprints are everywhere. No president can legally serve three terms. Hence the need for a figurehead. Biden is just a “DDD”- a dummy with dementia and diapers. He says whatever is written on cue cards and signs whatever paper is put in front of him. That allows Obama to run the country from the shadows. As long as...

After Gov. Gavin Newsom placed pro-abortion billboards as part of his re-election campaign advertisements in states restricting abortions, Christians in California are responding. On Sept. 15, Newsom, a Democrat, announced several versions of billboard advertisements that would be going up across seven states. “Just launched billboards in 7 of the most restrictive anti-abortion states that explain how women can access care–no matter where they live. To any woman seeking an abortion in these anti-freedom states: CA will defend your right to make decisions about your own health,” Newsom wrote on Twitter. One of the billboards placed in Oklahoma and Indiana,...

Ukrainians having financial difficulties have been identified as organ donors in several cases of suspected trafficking of living kidney transplants carried out overseas through the mediation of a Tokyo-based non-profit organization. Even when there is an agreement between donors and recipients or a third party, such transplants are criticized internationally as inhumane. Emphasizing ‘quality’ “The COVID-19 crisis has made our daily lives worse. Anyone who wants to sell a kidney should contact us.” On one of the websites written in Ukrainian, such posts about organ trafficking have increased since the COVID-19 disaster broke out in 2020. In 2021, there were...

Thirty-four US political prisoners of the Biden regime penned a very sad letter this week requesting a transfer to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba facility where they would receive meals, sunlight, freedom of religion, exercise, entertainment, and be treated like human beings. These thirty-four January 6 political prisoners have been held for over a year and a half without trial for misdemeanors and trumped-up felony charges. This group of men have been isolated, beaten viciously, abused, threatened, tormented, and belittled by the guards based on their political and religious beliefs. The men and women have been without medical assistance, medications, exercise, and...

Hurricane Ian has already caused at least 34 deaths, and early numbers suggest that financial losses could hit $40 billion. But these numbers tell only part of the story. What they don’t reveal is how Ian will lead to growing inequality, and heighten racial disparities
