NASA unexpectedly lost contact with its moonbound Orion capsule early Wednesday morning (Nov. 23), for reasons that remain unclear. Mission controllers lost communication with Orion at 1:09 a.m. EST (0609 GMT) while reconfiguring a link between the capsule and the Deep Space Network, the set of radio dishes that NASA uses to talk to its farflung spacecraft. Orion is gearing up for a crucial maneuver: It's scheduled to perform an engine burn on Friday (Nov. 25) that will insert the capsule into orbit around the moon. If all goes well, Orion will stay in that orbit for about a week,...

High end fashion house Balenciaga is scrambling to deal with the fallout from their controversial ad campaign that featured children holding teddy bear bags that featured the stuffed animals clad in bondage attire. After the scandal, Balenciaga has wiped their social media accounts of all images except for an apology in their Instagram Story. The photos were part of the company's Spring 2023 line and was titled Balenciaga Objects. Balenciaga often wipes their social media page clean in response to various issues. In October 2022, the company removed every photo from their Instagram page following weeks of protests by women...

Anthony Fauci is a doctor in the same sense that Josef Mengele at Auschwitz was a doctor, motivated by greed, power and money, and delighting in performing obscene medical experiments on their ‘patients’. I have said many times, and repeat it here again, that my older brother Bob was killed when his doctor, acting on the ‘urgent advice’ of Anthony Fauci, prescribed him AZT after receiving a positive HIV diagnosis. AZT is a clinical poison, and it killed a quarter million people in the 1980’s, and yet, Fauci brags about the ‘great work’ he did during that time period. Fauci’s...

It’s our thirst to understand “why” someone would carry out such a horrific act that drives our curiosity and animates our search for a political villain in these mass shootings. Answers are always few and very unsatisfying. Trying to ascribe rational, logical thought processes to someone who is mentally ill is an exercise in futility. It doesn’t matter if he leaves a right-wing manifesto railing against blacks and Jews or swears allegiance to Antifa and claims to want to stamp out “fascism.” “Politics” — a shooter’s limited understanding of it — isn’t a catalyst as much as it is a...

Early Tuesday morning, two bombs were detonated while Israeli civilians boarded buses to school and work in Israel’s capital of Jerusalem. The terrorist attacks killed a 16-year old Canadian-Israeli boy, Aryeh Shechopek on his way to yeshiva. As a continued part of their desire to destroy Israel and kill as many Jews as possible, various radical Islamic groups hailed the attacks. Islamic Jihad posted a statement “The operation in the occupied city of Jerusalem is a natural response to the occupation, its terrorism, and its criminal practices against the defenseless Palestinian people and its holy sites.” Tarek Ez Din, spokesperson...

Conflicts of interest are emerging for the newly appointed Special Counsel to investigate President Donald J. Trump, Jack Smith because Smith’s wife is a well-known and powerful radical leftist whose activism has focused on elevating radical leftism, Marxism, and anti-semitism and on being a Never Trumper. The lapdog media has ignored the obvious hypocrisy- while continuing to pound Republicans for anything that would hint at an abuse of power or a hateful mindset. US Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) appeared on the War Room with Steve Bannon on Tuesday to deconstruct the brazen hypocrisy over this latest announcement that Democrats are...

Balenciaga is getting slammed once again in a new ad campaign for featuring a book by controversial artist Michael Borremans, whose work has been linked to pedophilia, cannibalism, and blood rituals. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the high-end fashion brand Balenciaga has received internet backlash for a creepy ad that features two young girls holding stuffed animals dressed in what looks to be bondage gear. It’s Worse Than We Thought: Balenciaga Replaces Child BDSM-Themed Ads with New Creepy Campaign that Features Belgian Painter Known for “Pedophilia, Blood Ritual, Occultism, Cannibalism,Racism” By Jim Hoft Published November 23, 2022 at 3:45pm...

Old-fashioned socialist and founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab, sat down with CGTN’s Tian Wei during the APEC CEO Summit in Thailand. During the course of their discussion, Schwab was questioned about whether or not the leaders of the world were able to reach an agreement in order to forward their globalist agenda. “Among the G20, you were there meeting some of the leaders as well. Professor Schwab, what do you make up the result? Finally, they put something as a statement, and it seems quite positive with all the voices included,” Wei said. “I think it’s...

The former head of President Joe Biden’s defunct Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board found a new gig by registering as a foreign agent to fight so-called “disinformation." Former DGB Executive Director Nina Jankowicz said in a Nov. 18 “foreign agents” filing with the Department of Justice that she would be hired as a “disinformation expert” with the U.K.-based Centre for Information Resilience. Jankowicz’ role involves acting as an “ambassador for CIR on the Hill, within the Federal Government, media, among tech companies / Silicon Valley, on ‘K Street’, and among potential philanthropic organisations.” It appears the self-proclaimed “Mary Poppins of disinformation”...

It’s been an interesting few days. Ever since I wrote (first in The Atlantic and then on Sunday here in The Dispatch) in support of the Senate version of the Respect for Marriage Act, I’ve been subject to an absolute torrent of online criticism, mainly from fellow Christians. The culmination of the critiques came from Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, who took to the pages of World Magazine to pen a piece called “The Parable of David French.” “This is how conservatism dies,” he wrote. “This is how marriage is surrendered.” That’s dramatic! But it’s not...

We at PJ Media have long reported on the disastrous Biden Border Crisis that allows large groups of illegal aliens to stream into the country by the hundreds and thousands. But worse than the sheer numbers, we now know for certain many illegal aliens who have long criminal records in other countries are entering the United States’ southern border virtually undetected thanks to our inadequate vetting process. The Biden Border Crisis has gotten so bad it has prompted border state governors to take some drastic measures. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. and Texas...

Long before the Nov. 19 shooting at an LGBTQ+ bar in Colorado Springs that killed five and injured at least 18, the city had a history as a flashpoint in American queer life. Located in the traditionally red El Paso County—home to three out of five military commands in the county, and a region former President Donald Trump won with 56.2% of the vote in 2016—Colorado Springs is home to many conservative evangelical groups including, notably, Focus on the Family. In the early 1990s, a time when gay rights were the subject of increasing restriction in many places across the...

Kari Lake appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room this morning to discuss a new complaint that her team filed against Maricopa County as they push forward to certify another rigged and stolen election. Lake told Bannon that she has “whistleblowers coming forward and at least one smoking gun in it.” She then revealed that her sources inside the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center witnessed Dominion employees were given “unfettered access” and they “walk around like they own the place.” .... Snip.... Today, Kari Lake filed the following application for an order to show cause and special action complaint against...

A Florida man is behind bars after threatening to burn down a hospital in a revenge plan aimed at getting the attention of the FBI. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a family member of 56-year-old Glenn Schaeffer called deputies to report he left his home Monday night dressed in camouflage and possibly armed with a pipe bomb or Molotov cocktails. Patrol units located Schaeffer and attempted to stop him near US Highway 41 S and Pennsylvania Avenue, but he refused to exit his car and eventually fled. Later on, deputies made contact with Schaeffer again at his home in...

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who is expected to become chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee next year, said he blames Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for what he sees as lowered credibility of congressional probes. Schiff chairs the House Intelligence Committee and sits on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol — and the California lawmaker also led the first impeachment effort against former President Trump.

Former President Donald Trump said Arizona election needs redoing following a memo revealing widespread problems at Maricopa County voting sites. “This Election was a disgrace, everything was geared by Republicans toward Election Day, and then, when it finally came around, the Republican machines were systematically broken,” Trump wrote in a post on Gab on Nov. 22.
