December 2019 marked the beginning of Solar Cycle 25. The Sun’s activity has quickly ramped up and even though we haven’t reached peak levels in this cycle, the Sun’s activity is already exceeding predictions. Solar events will continue to increase as we near solar maximum in 2025, and our lives and technology on Earth, as well as satellites and astronauts in space, will be impacted.

President Biden on Tuesday signed a proclamation creating a national monument in honor of Mamie Till Mobley and her son Emmett Till, the 14-year-old whose brutal killing in Mississippi helped galvanize the civil rights movement. The monument, spread over three sites in Illinois and Mississippi, will tell the story of Till’s murder in 1955, and of his mother’s efforts to ensure it would never been forgotten. “I can’t fathom what it must have been like,” Biden said Tuesday — on what would have bill Emmett Till’s 82nd birthday. “It’s hard to believe I was 12 years old. I know no...

Kim Reynolds’ “Fair Side Chats” at the Iowa State Fair — as Trump continues his feud with Reynolds and Christie focuses his attention on New Hampshire. “President Trump looks forward to interacting with tens of thousands of Iowans at the fair in an open and unfiltered setting,” campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Post of the apparent snub to Reynolds.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy did not mince words following revelations this month of Biden family corruption from whistleblowers in the government. In a forceful statement, he assured constituents that if Biden commits several hundred more impeachable offenses, that will be the last straw. "That's right: once Biden has committed at least 793 egregious acts of corruption, we will cut him off," said McCarthy. "We the American people cannot stand for this kind of unchecked criminality in the White House." "No more crimes for you, pal!"

Schweizer suggests Zelensky is using this as leverage over the Biden regime for weapons and billions in US dollars....

SAN JOSE -- There is something different about A Slice of New York Pizza in San Jose. And it goes beyond their award-winning pies. It's about the people. In fact, everyone in the kitchen owns an equal slice of the business. "We're a worker co-op, which means all the members and owners of the business work in the business," said the restaurant's founder Kirk Vartan. He started the business 17 years ago. Six years ago, he turned it into a co-op by selling the business to his staff as a leveraged buyout. The employee-owners are now paying back a business...

I wish the best for Senator Dick Durbin, who has just announced that he has come down with Covid… for the third time in the space of a year. No schadenfreude here over the 78-year-old’s latest bout with the illness. At his age, there's actually a realistic possibility of lethality, unlike healthy non-elderly people, who, nonetheless were locked down in the nation’s bungled response to the virus engineered in China.Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID-19 today. I'm disappointed to have to miss critical work on the Senate's NDAA this week in Washington. Consistent with CDC guidelines, I'll quarantine at home...

I think DeSantis is DOA in this election.”He continued, “This is just a wag, a wild guess, I think the only people who have a shot besides Donald Trump, potentially Tim Scott. Tim...

VIDEO"The walls are finally closing in..."If you heard that phrase once you heard it at least dozens of times in reference to President Donald Trump. However, since the Deep State was only able to conjure up a FAKE Trump-Russia collusion against him, the walls never did close in on Trump. Contrary to that situation, the walls are REALLY closing in now on Joe Biden. The Deep State was infuriated at Sleepy Joe for the Afghanistan debacle and then later when he did announced he was running for re-election. Thus we now have a lot of damaging information being revealed in...

Talks between the two sides restarted today after stalling earlier in the month. "We’ve reached a win, win, win agreement," a...

Has anyone else had trouble getting on lindellevent.com? I was redirected to an Atlanta catering company and can't seem to go directly to August 16th event sight. Finally got through to Frank Speech and then to event sight but still found it difficult to get signed in for event. Maybe me maybe sight issues. Either way I hope it is easier for others or gets fixed.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has hit a slow-burn phase after nearly 18 months of intense fighting, focusing primarily on Kyiv’s counteroffensive and Moscow’s efforts to hold their gains after ensuring Ukraine will not be able to join NATO. "The Russian offensive is grinding on a low-intensity pace as the Russians are focused primarily on holding on to the territory they’ve captured and thwarting [the] Ukrainian counteroffensive, which has not produced much gain for Kyiv," Rebekah Koffler, president of Doctrine & Strategy Consulting and a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer, told Fox News Digital. "Putin is unlikely to push for any...
