Explanation: Saturn is still bright in planet Earth's night skies. Telescopic views of the distant gas giant and its beautiful rings often make it a star at star parties. But this stunning view of Saturn's rings and night side just isn't possible from telescopes closer to the Sun than the outer planet. They can only bring Saturn's day into view. In fact, this image of Saturn's slender sunlit crescent with night's shadow cast across its broad and complex ring system was captured by the Cassini spacecraft. A robot spacecraft from planet Earth, Cassini called Saturn orbit home for 13 years...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky compared Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the man-made famine that caused millions of deaths in the 1930s under Soviet rule in an address remembering the historic event Saturday. Zelensky said at the country’s International Summit on Food Security that in both conflicts Russian forces created a “food crisis.” Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February hampered Ukraine’s ability to supply wheat, barley and other cereals to countries in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The difficulties sent prices soaring and pushed millions more people around the world toward starvation.

I wrote a book that will be published next week. All but one of the chapters will be on various theological topics except for one. This story is an embellished story I wrote about the trip Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem, over 2000 years ago to be counted and pay their Roman tax. When you think of the first story of Christmas, it’s usually about Mary and Joseph looking down at their new born son in a manger, surrounded by barn animals and maybe a shepherd or two looking on. Angels singing praises of joy to the Lord Most...

On Saturday Western Journal founder Floyd Brown joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the recent developments in Arizona. Earlier this month Democrats and RINO Republicans were able to suppress enough voters to steal the midterm elections in the state for Kari Lake and Democrats. Floyd Brown reminded The War Room that if Arizona is stolen then Republicans will have an impossible task to win in 2024. If Democrats continue to violate our elections and ballots then there will not be another Republican president in 2024 or ever. Floyd Brown: On Election Day… We had a complete disaster....

Pope tells theologians to consult ‘non-Catholics,’ avoid ‘going backward’ in TraditionThe Pontiff once again criticized Catholics attached to the traditional form of the Church's life.VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis has warned an influential, Vatican-based theological commission against “going backward” in “Tradition,” instead urging them to promote the Gospel by consulting non-Catholic “experts.”The 85-year-old Pontiff made the comments Thursday to the International Theological Commission, a body of theologians set up by Pope Paul VI in 1969 to advise the Congregation (now Dicastery) for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).Francis first highlighted how the Commission was to fulfil its task “in...

News broke this week that Nina Jankowicz, President Joe Biden’s former pick to be the federal government’s disinformation czar, had been hired as a lobbyist for a London-based nonprofit. The group Jankowicz works for seeks to fight “human rights abuses and combating online harms against women and minorities,” a press release said.

Infowars host Alex Jones is creating his own bourbon called “Conspiracy.” According to famed whiskey expert Fred Minnick, Jones’ bourbon was approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) two weeks ago. Minnick is a judge on the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, World Whiskies Awards and is the former lead American whiskey reviewer for Whiskey Advocate. “This just in.

Minnick added that it is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon and will hit stores...

A selfish couple forced an entire Frontier Airlines flight to disembark after they rushed aboard the plane without proper boarding passes — then screamed at crew members who tried to stop them, according to a witness. “We’re tired!” one of the air-headed jerks can be heard yelling Tuesday, according to footage posted on Instagram. The duo allegedly slipped to plane to avoid paying an extra fee for baggage then refused to leave amid the Thanksgiving travel rush, passenger @nikki__le posted. All other passengers were then asked to leave the plane to allow law enforcement to confront the loudmouthed rule breakers,...

He’s in Camp Clinton. State Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs donated more than $800,000 to charities aligned with Bill and Hillary Clinton since 2009, a Post review of tax forms shows. The cash is a curious expenditure from Jacobs’ charity, the TLC Starfish Foundation, which boasts on its website that it “partners with charities to provide underserved children the opportunity to participate in a variety of summer camps.” The cash was variously disbursed over the years to the Clinton Global Initiative and the William Clinton Foundation — despite neither organization being involved in summer camps.

The Biden Administration has spent and printed a reckless amount of money since entering office in January 2020. Nearly $4 trillion has been spent in just the eighteen months President Joe Biden has been in the White House, fueling the reason why inflation remains at a 40-year high and the economy is quickly heading down a black hole. However, with the newly-controlled GOP house, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) vowed to intervene with Biden’s big spending plans. “I like to remind people: The power of the purse strings resides with the House,” Gonzalez said, adding that Republicans need to take action...

It’s clear that Generation Z has earned a seat at the table. We’ve led the social movements that have shaped our current politic climate and helped elect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris into office. Our growing political power is driven by our unique perspective on the future as we ask ourselves: What does the future hold? Too often, as young people we are underestimated due to our age, but in reality many of us have years of experience and our youth and age is not a detriment, but an asset providing our perspective as members of the...

A woman with Down syndrome has lost her appeal to stop killing babies diagnosed with this condition, cleft lip or club foot in-utero under the disability clause in abortion laws, which she said were discriminatory and stigmatized people with disabilities. After three senior judges at the Court of Appeal decided the Abortion Act is not discriminatory to people with Down syndrome, the 27-year-old petitioner, Heidi Crowter, said she was “angry that the judges say my feelings do not matter,” the BBC reported Friday. In England, Wales and Scotland, abortion is legal up to birth if the baby has been diagnosed...

This nation is broken. Those in charge of our justice system are crooks. The Department of Justice is unjust. Its leaders are like foxes in the hen house or criminals running the police station. In an earlier article posted at The Gateway Pundit on September 1, 2022, only a few weeks after the unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful raid of the President’s home on August 8, 2022, we noted that the FBI inserted documents into the collection of documents they stole from President Trump’s home during the raid. We reported that the FBI created the crime scene, inserted their own documents,...

Supposing that you’re a Canadian who mistakenly believes you enjoy the right to bodily autonomy, the Canadian Public Health™ overlords have plans to fix you right up. You’ll be administered psychiatric medications so you think right. Speaking with Lynn Tyler Thompson of the “Let Freedom Reign Tour,” Dr. William Makis revealed what is nothing short of a bombshell — the next step on the long, winding road to biomedical totalitarianism: So this has come out recently out of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The college sent out a letter or a memo to all the doctors in...

There’s been a troubling trend in recent years of young people increasingly identifying as transgender. In fact, the transgender phenomenon, which was once mostly associated with men, is now dominated by women. Data suggests that peer influence is playing a role in the surge in transgender identity, and now some transgender advocates are admitting that this is a problem. While the transgender cult insists that the rapid increase of transgender identification is because of growing social acceptance that encourages transgender people to not keep their identity secret, others point out that the rapid growth and the changing demographics prove that...

The number of Americans who leave their homes with a pistol or revolver on their person jumped from approximately three million in 2015 to six million in 2019, according to a study conducted by University of Washington researchers. The Guardian reported the study on November 25, 2022, noting that it appeared in the American Journal of Public Health.

One of the trolls I encounter online repeats the mantra that if we are to allege electoral fraud, the burden of proof is on the accuser. No matter how strong the evidence, nor how much of it there is, the mantra remains the same. Prove it. Proof beyond reasonable doubt is the standard. No. When it comes to electoral integrity, and accusations of fraud, that's backward. Those who count the votes must prove that the numbers they report are accurate. If they cannot, then the election results must be discarded as untrustworthy. Another, more reliable — utterly reliable — election...
