Explanation: The most distant object easily visible to the unaided eye is M31, the great Andromeda Galaxy. Even at some two and a half million light-years distant, this immense spiral galaxy -- spanning over 200,000 light years -- is visible, although as a faint, nebulous cloud in the constellation Andromeda. A bright yellow nucleus, dark winding dust lanes, and expansive spiral arms dotted with blue star clusters and red nebulae, are recorded in this stunning telescopic image which combines data from orbiting Hubble with ground-based images from Subaru and Mayall. In only about 5 billion years, the Andromeda galaxy may...

Donald Trump has warned Kamala Harris's campaign donors that they will not escape his retribution if they play a role in a 2024 election 'steal'. The GOP candidate promised he would not allow a repeat of the 'rampant Cheating and Skullduggery' he claims cost him the White House in 2020, and threatened unprecedented legal action against those who try. Posting on X and his own Truth Social channel under the heading 'cease and desist' he said 'lawyers, political operatives, donors, illegal voters, and corrupt election officials' would all find themselves targeted. The swipe at donors came as Trump's Democrat rival...

Last week I came down with COVID-19. Again. I’m not even sure why I tested. I just really didn’t feel well, and I wanted to know if I was overreacting or if I actually was as sick as I felt. For hypochondriacs like myself, it’s kind of nice to have validation that it’s not in our heads when there actually is a virus making us feel terrible. And I just happened to have one COVID-19 test left in the medicine cabinet. I’m just one of many Americans to have gotten sick in the past few weeks, due, I’m pretty positive,...

The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left wing and its media. The 2016 presidential campaign will be long remembered for the false allegation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the election. Citing the bogus “Steele dossier,” loser Hillary Clinton and other Democrat grandees claimed that the victorious Trump was an “illegitimate” president. Almost immediately, the left and media then pushed for the appointment of special prosecutor Robert Mueller.He assembled a “dream team” of partisan prosecutors to prove Trump-Russian collusion.Some 22 months later, Mueller found no evidence that Trump improperly won the...

Queens state Assemblyman Ron Kim says groups tied to the Chinese Community Party tried to topple him and steal his predominantly Asian-populated seat in the June Democratic primary. “There were clear patterns of foreign influence trying to dictate the outcome of the election — groups with ties to mainland China and the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. They were trying to steal the Flushing seat,” Kim told The Post. “It’s a very layered operation. We’re entering dangerous territory. I don’t know how we can stop it,” he said. Kim, a Korean-American, is speaking out after the stunning arrest of Linda Sun,...

Hindus for America First, a newly created grassroots organisation, has announced it will endorse Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and launch a campaign against Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina. Announcing the decision on Thursday, Hindus for America First chairman and founder Utsav Sanduja claimed that Harris would be "very destabilising for Indo-US relations". "The concern is that if Kamala becomes the president of the United States, then she might put in some liberal wolves on the bench who may actually reverse the Supreme Court on this (and) that...

A former Democratic politician from California is ditching the Democratic Party and speaking out on Vice President Kamala Harris’ record on education in the state. Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero announced Wednesday she was changing her voter registration to Republican, stating she has "had enough." "There are so many more like me, who have been disaffected Democrats, and we do not recognize this so-called party of democracy any longer," Romero told "The Ingraham Angle" on Thursday.

Massachusetts welfare recipients have been using their EBT cards while on tropical vacations to Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other trips thousands of miles away from their home state, an investigation by the Boston Herald revealed. Public records obtained by the outlet showed dozens of EBT card expenditures at several popular vacation destinations, including California, Florida, and Alaska, as well numerous holiday islands. While the federal and state governments spent $3 billion on the taxpayer-funded EBT cards in Massachusetts during Fiscal Year 2024, 32 charges were made in Hawaii — with the largest expenditure being $378 on the...

It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis.

Thousands of supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro flooded Sao Paulo’s main boulevard for an Independence Day rally Saturday, buoyed by the government’s blocking of tech billionaire Elon Musk’s X platform, a ban they say is proof of their political persecution. A few thousand demonstrators, clad in the yellow-and-green colors of Brazil’s flag, poured onto Av. Paulista. References to the ban on X and images of Musk abounded. “Thank you for defending our freedom,” read one banner praising the tech entrepreneur. Saturday’s march was seen as a test of Bolsonaro’s capacity to mobilize turnout ahead of the October municipal...

The FBI raided his home. The corporate media crusaded in lies for years to frame him as a Russian spy and insurrectionist. Fascist Democrats seek to imprison him for life, bankrupt him with lawfare, and take away his business empire. He’s constantly smeared as a “felon,” a “racist,” a “rapist,” a “threat to democracy,” and the “next Hitler.” When his 2024 campaign began to pull away from Joe Biden towards a triumphant November victory,” they shot him in the face and then threw the game board on the floor demanding a do-over with Kamala’s scrutiny-free “joy” campaign–a campaign backed by...

No, not her wealth, your wealth. Part of Democrat presidential nominee Vice-President Kamala Harris' plan to "transform America" entails redistributing some of the wealth. Two ideas that she is considering are taxing unrealized capital gains and increasing the death tax. Unrealized capital gains are increases in the value of assets like stocks, mutual funds, businesses, and property that hasn't been sold. For example, if the stock you bought for $20 a share 15 years ago is now valued at $100 a share on the stock exchange you would be assessed a tax for the $80 per share unrealized gain. Unless...

The Feeding Our Future scandal is the largest known covid-era fraud, coming in somewhere between $250 million and $500 million. It was extraordinarily brazen: various nonprofits pretended to feed many hundreds of thousands of nonexistent children, and billed Minnesota’s government. The money was federal, but the program was administered by Tim Walz’s Department of Education. Many criminal prosecutions have followed, but no heads have rolled at the Department of Education or anywhere else. And Governor Walz has never been held accountable. Now, the House Education and Workforce Committee has issued a subpoena to Walz for documents relating to the scandal....

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Sunday he and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agree that Russia should be included in a future peace conference aimed at ending Russia's war against Ukraine. He called for stepped up efforts to solve the conflict.A previous peace conference June 15-16 in Switzerland ended with 78 countries expressing support for Ukraine’s “territorial integrity” but otherwise left the path forward unclear. Russia did not participate.“I believe that now is the moment when we must discuss how we get out of this war situation faster than the current impression is,” Scholz said in an...

Oakland’s crime rate, consistently higher than the Bay Area’s other big cities, has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic, while the rates in San Francisco and San Jose have leveled off, an analysis of California Department of Justice data shows.

Former President Donald Trump, speaking at a rally at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, Wisconsin, railed against Vice President Kamala Harris while outlining his "nine steps" to "drain the swamp" in Washington, D.C. "Our country is a failing nation right now," Trump told supporters. "It's a laughingstock all over the world. Over the past four years, our country has seen the sickness and corruption of the Washington swamp exposed like never before." First, Trump said he will end what he calls the weaponization of government and the abuse of law enforcement against political opponents.
