Explanation: The Full Moon of October 9th was the second Full Moon after the northern hemisphere autumnal equinox, traditionally called the Hunter's Moon. According to lore, the name is a fitting one because this Full Moon lights the night during a time for hunting in preparation for the coming winter months. In this snapshot, a nearly full Hunter's Moon was captured just after sunset on October 8, rising in skies over Florida's Space Coast. Rising from planet Earth a Falcon 9 rocket pierces the bright lunar disk from the photographer's vantage point. Ripples and fringes along the edge of the...

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A current FBI special agent and a former bureau analyst who both served on Robert Mueller’s team testified that the special counsel’s office declined to investigate and never interviewed Charles Dolan, the Clinton-allied business associate of the main source for Christopher Steele, despite their urging. Supervisory special agent Amy Anderson and former FBI intelligence analyst Brittany Hertzog both testified Friday that, as members of Mueller’s team who were specifically tasked with scrutinizing the allegations within the Trump dossier, they believed the FBI should interview and further investigate Dolan, a longtime ally of Bill and Hillary Clinton, partly...

Quite frankly, I’m tired of it.Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush. The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis,...

A British Catholic mother of five, who was arrested at her family home while making roasted chicken, said that she believes Catholics are a “soft target” for the police. It was approaching dinnertime on Monday, Oct. 3, and Catholic commentator Caroline Farrow was roasting chicken and putting the laundry away when suddenly the police knocked on the door of her home in Guildford, West Surrey, and arrested her for malicious communications and harassment in relation to a long-running online debate she had regarding transgender issues, she said. Farrow told CNA that after the police officers entered her house, they seized...

Yahoo! Finance tried one of the most pathetic tactics to deflect responsibility away from President Joe Biden for America’s ongoing supply chain crisis: blaming pro-lifers for the diaper shortage. The publication belched up a wild Oct. 9 propaganda story with an insane headline: “America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse.” Yahoo! Finance senior editor Sandra Salathe made the arbitrary connection that diapers may be in shorter supply because crisis pregnancy centers focus on protecting life rather than encouraging abortion. Salathe wielded leftist pro-abortion group Equity Forward to lambaste pro-life groups like Heartbeat International...

There's no such thing as a free-ish ride. Elon Musk and SpaceX will no longer be able to fund Starlink internet in the Ukraine, citing a deteriorating relationship with Kyiv. The company claims it cannot push any more resources to assist the Ukrainian war effort at a rate approaching pro bono status, and has looked to the Pentagon to pick up the tab. “We are not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time,” SpaceX’s director of government sales wrote in a communique to news media. On Friday,...

Home prices will fall in about half the markets in the US next year, a top housing economist said on Thursday. Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), said he is forecasting 0% home-price growth in 2023. That means prices will increase in about half of the areas that NAR tracks, but decrease in the other half, Yun said. Yun, who was speaking to the National Association of Real Estate Editors conference in Atlanta, Georgia, said he predicts the home-price declines will be most dramatic in the most expensive parts of the country.

So CSI: Vegas decided that, instead of a show about 'assault-style weapons', they did one about trailer park rednecks and a Ruger 10/22.Here's a link to the show. They called it a 'murder weapon', a 'sniper weapon', before they finally figured out it was shot into air and hit the victim by accident.But they must have said 'Ruger 10/22' seven or eight times.

Democrats in a dozen-and-a-half swing House districts are panicking over the hundreds of millions of dollars of outside money pouring into races featuring vulnerable GOP incumbents. And the national Democratic Party can send very little. National Democratic organizations aren’t airing TV ads in six of the 14 Republican-held districts that went for Biden in 2020. Many of those districts, like the seat held by retiring congresswoman Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, will be sacrificed because the national party just doesn’t have the cash. “I know with every bone in my body that [Kristen] Engel will win this district if we can...

On December 17, 2020, CHI Memorial Hospital nurse manager Tiffany Dover became one of the first American healthcare workers to receive Pfizer’s novel mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine. With media crews on hand recording the public event, Dover was presented to the public for a post-injection interview with the hopes to promote future uptake in a product that was then considered a possible cure to the coronavirus. “It’s been a hard time,” Dover said about the last year. “We’ve persevered through it, but I think that this vaccination offers us hope.” Twitter avatar for @Entow1jaya Ento_wijaya @Entow1jaya Watch | US head nurse...

Nearly 40 congressional Republicans sent a letter Wednesday to the FBI expressing deep concern over the rise in high-profile investigations into pro-life Americans since the overturning of Roe v. Wade last summer. Such investigations have raised “well-founded concerns that the FBI has amassed too much power and has become a partisan cudgel wielded by the Biden Administration at the behest of progressive activists against political opponents and dissenters,” the letter reads. The letter, written by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and signed by House and Senate lawmakers, lays out demands for transparency and data on the bureau’s enforcement of the Freedom...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of U.S. Senate Democrats sounded the alarm over a lack of election workers ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm voting, citing threats and harassment as hurdles to recruiting crucial staff. In an Oct. 6 letter to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, 13 Senate Democrats and two independents aligned with Democrats called for the federal agency to step up efforts to support states in recruiting workers needed to run next month's midterm elections. “Recruitment efforts have been further hampered by the increase in threats and harassment targeting election workers," the letter stated. "We urge you to...

We all know that the globalist powers-that-be are behind the covid bioweapon injection and that it’s all a part of their Great Reset agenda. What’s their reasoning? I can guarantee you it’s more that simply compliance or even depopulation, although those are both a part of it. I appeared on Deanna Lorraine’s Shots Fired on the Stew Peters Network to explain what’s really going on. The reality is that Klaus Schwab and his plan for The Great Reset can only succeed at being implemented if they are successful with their bioweapon injections, which they largely have been to-date. However, the...

Contrary to plans, Sweden, Denmark and Germany will not form a joint investigation team to investigate the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines. According to SPIEGEL information, Sweden has rejected the establishment of an international Joint Investigation Team (JIT). According to information from security circles, Sweden is said to have justified the refusal by saying that the security classification of its investigation results was too high to share them with other countries. Shortly after the sabotage operation at the end of September, the federal government decided that German investigators should take part in the investigation. Federal police and army sent...
