Explanation: Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape. Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is some 1,500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex. About five light-years "tall," the dark cloud is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. Stars are forming within the dark cloud. Contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star, is at the lower left of the full image. The featured gorgeous color image combines...

The January 6th, 2021 tapes have finally been released thanks to the new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. It has only been a few days but people are quickly scouring through them, so what have they revealed? Have the American people been told the truth to this point? Each day that passes it seems the narrative originally told is being proven false, like Jacob Chansley (the horn guy) who appeared to literally be escorted throughout the capitol. Where have key individuals who were in charge that day gone also? The Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger resigned January 7th...

A half-century before Donald Trump dismissed the four criminal cases against him as a “witch hunt,” a defensive President Richard M. Nixon famously declared, “I’m not a crook.” Nixon made the comment 50 years ago Friday, on Nov. 17, 1973, at Disney World in Florida as the Watergate scandal was swirling around him. It came a month after the Saturday Night Massacre, when Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus resigned rather than carry out Nixon’s order to fire Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Then Solicitor General Robert Bork fired Cox. Now Nixon was addressing 400 people...

The Democrat party dances with the antisemitic devil, and now His Fraudulency Joe Biden is paying a price with backfiring poll numbers. The fact that antisemitism reigns in the Democrat party is no secret. Jew hatred is especially hot in the leftist strongholds of academia, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the crucial swing state of Michigan, which is home to a large Muslim population. Normally, spooning naked in bed with antisemites doesn’t come with a political price for Democrats, not when you have billions of dollars in corporate media propaganda and stooges such as CNN’s Jake Tapper running cover for...

Robust political discussions may not be on the menu for many Americans preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving. A Quinnipiac University poll released Monday found that about 6 out of 10 voters, or 61 percent, said they hope to avoid talking about politics during the holiday celebrations. However, the poll also said 29 percent of voters said they are eager to talk about politics. “A healthy dose of ‘zip it’ will be on the menu as voters acknowledge that if they plan on ‘talking turkey’ over the big meal, it will be about the food and not about politics,” Quinnipiac University Polling...

In the later years of his life, Frank Sinatra would often reminisce about his loves, his losses and the friends he missed most, including Marilyn Monroe. While the events surrounding what really happened on August 4, 1962 when the star was found dead from a drug overdose remain a mystery, Sinatra's close confidant and former road manager Tony Oppedisano, whose memoir Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours, is excerpted in this week's PEOPLE, says the singer didn't believe it was an accidental overdose. "Frank believed she was murdered," he writes, "and he never got over it."

The footage appears to show the groups outside the Voodoo Room on the historic Sixth Street of Austin's entertainment district. The altercation seems to start when one woman grabs a phone out of the hands of another and a Marine tries to intervene. Then, a man in a white long-sleeve shirt attempts to throw a punch at a different Marine and misses, as a group of his fellow military men rush to his defense. While some Marines try to separate the men as they curse at each other, tensions seem to escalate and an all-out brawl begins. The civilians and...

Vladimir Putin will test the world's largest ballistic missile by flying it over the South Pole, a shocking report by state media has revealed before being rapidly censored. The Russian dictator is determined to flex his nuclear muscle to the West and will put his first regiment to be armed with the apocalypse 208-ton intercontinental nuclear weapon - the RS-28 Sarmat, aka 'Satan 2' - on 'combat duty' next month. This is despite an astonishing admission that the 'unstoppable' 15,880mph doomsday missile - as tall as a 14-storey tower block - is not properly tested. Putin's own state news agency...

Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) potential presidential bid may not just spoil the Senate Democrats’ chances of keeping the majority; many Democrats now worry that it may spoil the election in favor of former President Donald Trump. “I think it would be very, very unfortunate if Joe Manchin decided to do that,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) said of Manchin’s possible presidential bid. “I know he’s a supporter of President Biden and has been an important person here in the U.S. Senate in terms of getting things done. And he knows that if he were to step in [to the race] that...

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that President Biden has been revealed as a “serial classified documents hoarder” and that a lack of charges for the commander-in-chief in connection with the violations would send a “devastating” message. “CBS has been reporting that special counsel Robert Hur is near the end of his investigation into President Biden and his alleged mishandling of classified info,” network host Margaret Brennan told Turner on “Face the Nation.” “If there are indeed no charges brought, which is what we are reporting, what do you think the signal will be...

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my...

New Jan 6 footage shows Matthew Perna, who committed suicide after DOJ's enhanced prosecution, calmly walking through Capitol alongside police His mourning family reportedly said that he "couldn't take another day" after learning of the sentencing Newly released footage from Hanuary 6, 2021, released by House Speaker Mike Johnson, shows Matthew Perna, who tragically took his own life, calmly strolling through the building alongside other protestors and even many police officers. Perna killed himself after prosecutors in his case added a terrorism enhancement in advance of his sentencing. At the time of Perna's death, his mourning family reportedly said that...

@RealBillyBobby Why even have a supreme court if they refuse to review anything controversial? @MatthewJshow This is a disgrace. Derek Chauvin followed his police training. @FrankChronicles The Supreme Court dodging Chauvin's appeal is a blow to legal scrutiny. Every conviction deserves a thorough review. This isn't just about Chauvin, it's about preserving the integrity of our legal system. @Bubblebathgirl Chauvin followed the rules — Floyd didn’t @AverageJoeThink Terrible mishandling of justice. Especially since it’s obvious the only reason to not take another look at this case is for fear of riots @LangmanVince Cowards @1UltraMegaMAGA A travesty of justice. Derek was...

When considering the ostentatious and attention-seeking members of the avian community, one's mind typically conjures images of peacocks or flamingos. However, it is time to redirect our attention to the captivating Tragopan temminckii, the Temmincks tragopan. This remarkable pheasant species, native to Northern Asia, showcases an extraordinary courtship display that is sure to captivate any observer. During the breeding season, which occurs in March and April, male tragopans employ a mesmerizing Courtship Dance to attract a female companion. This intricate display involves the male unfurling and inflating its wattle-like gular lappet, inflating its two horns, fluffing up its plumage, and...

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in a hypothetical two-way race for the presidency, as well as in a deeper field, while he approaches 70 percent support among GOP primary voters, per a Harvard-Harris poll. In the poll published Monday, 53 percent of the 2,581 registered voters surveyed nationally back Trump in a head-to-head race with Biden when undecided voters were pushed to choose a candidate they leaned toward. Biden garners 47 percent of the response, marking a one percent loss of support compared to October’s Harvard-Harris poll. Trump gained one percent month-over-month.

After Hamas terrorists set about murdering, raping and abducting as many women as they could, one might have expected widespread condemnation from the West’s feminist groups. However.... The response among the majority of groups committed to ending violence against women and girls (VAWG) was threefold: to keep quiet, to disbelieve the victims, or to insinuate they deserved their fate. In the words of 140 American “prominent feminist scholars”, to stand in solidarity with Israeli women is to give in to “colonial feminism”.

A Democrat congressman is walking back a comment he made against former President Trump over the weekend that sparked a social media firestorm. "Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again," Rep. Daniel Goldman of New York posted on X on Monday. "While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence. I apologize for the poor choice of words." Goldman was referring to a comment he made over the weekend while discussing Trump’s actions on January 6....

New York Rep. Dan Goldman spoke with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki about the recent developments in Donald Trump’s legal battles over the weekend; Goldman simultaneously spoke out about the dangers of Trump’s rhetoric while calling for the former President to be “eliminated.”
