Bidenomics, which Bumbling Biden can’t explain, and his Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre only utters “top down was a failure, we are trying the opposite!” Sorry Karine, Bidenomics personifies top down economic (mis)management where DC picks winners and losers as opposed to the free market. Under Biden’s corrupt administation, it is more like an economic FLEA market. Where the fleas get crumbs and the 1% get all the steaks and champagne. Bidenomics is a confluence of insane levels of Federal spending and horrid Fed monetary policy, particularly in reaction to Covid. Then we have 3 consecutive quarters of declining household...

Explanation: Eta Carinae may be about to explode. But no one knows when - it may be next year, it may be one million years from now. Eta Carinae's mass - about 100 times greater than our Sun - makes it an excellent candidate for a full blown supernova. Historical records do show that about 170 years ago Eta Carinae underwent an unusual outburst that made it one of the brightest stars in the southern sky. Eta Carinae, in the Keyhole Nebula, is the only star currently thought to emit natural LASER light. This featured image brings out details in...

But Belarusians don’t want to be a vassal of Russia and - outside of this small country’s borders - a group of exiled pro-democracy protesters are taking up arms and training themselves to fight back.
