NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured these images of a solar flare — seen as the bright flash in each of the three image panes — on October 26, 2024. The images show three different subsets of extreme ultraviolet light that highlight the extremely hot material in flares and which are colorized in teal, gold, and red. Credit: NASA/SDO ======================================================================================= On October 26, 2024, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a powerful solar flare that peaked at 3:19 a.m. ET. Classified as an X1.8 flare, this intense event has the potential to disrupt radio signals, navigation systems, and power grids on Earth,...

Four years ago, I posted this: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3897586/posts With the following info: Thought I'd report what I've observed in Manhattan today. Early voting started and at one particular location, on the Upper East Side, the line to vote has encircled the entire building from around 10 a.m. until now - so, two street and two avenue blocks, entirely. Yes, there is "social distancing" but this is unbelievable (someone said it takes about 5 hours to vote). On the assumption that the voting pattern for the neighborhood holds, one has to wonder what is motivating these people, their candidate (really??) or pure...

Earlier this month, Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk, was sentenced to nine years’ incarceration for her role in allowing Trump allies access to Mesa County’s voting system. . It doesn’t matter that these voting-machine “analyses” have never proved election fraud: They could still be weaponized for postelection litigation. Taking the proprietary software that records and counts votes is no small thing. In the wrong hands, it presents real and serious risks to the security of our election systems. In early 2021, before any of these breaches were known, Cyber Ninjas sought to obtain copies of Arizona’s voting system...

In 2016, you were deplorable. In 2020, you were a vector of infection and death. This year you are a Nazi. What will Republicans be in 2028? Probably genocidal cannibals from space who want to "serve man." The level of hatred the left has for ordinary Americans is off the charts, and it is dispiriting that so many ordinary Democrats have been brainwashed by a vile propaganda machine that is working people up into a frenzy reminiscent of Mao's Cultural Revolution. The brainwashing has been going on for years, and by no means is it limited to Trump. It is...

For the first time in more than a decade, a school year has started in the U.K. with a Labour Party government running the country. With little money in the national coffers and few concrete proposals for economic growth, reforming the people rather than improving the nation seems to be the party’s goal. Labour’s starting point: the classroom. Take teeth, for instance. Shocking new statistics show that fewer than half of British children have seen a dentist in the past year. With private care prohibitively expensive for many parents and NHS provision so rare that large areas of the U.K....

The “appalled” Archbishop of San Juan, Puerto Rico, has demanded a direct apology from Donald Trump over comments made about the island territory by a comedian and podcaster at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday. Roberto Octavio González Nieves posted an open letter to Trump describing his shock and anger after hearing the comments made by Tony Hinchcliffe on stage. The letter was posted in both English and Spanish. “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” Hinchcliffe said Sunday to an unimpressed crowd....

Restrictions on long-range strikes within Russia by Western weapons supplied to Kyiv should be dropped following confirmation that Vladimir Putin is using North Korean troops to fight Ukraine, Lithuania's president has said. Pyongyang has been supplying Russia with munitions to fight Ukraine but Rutte said the deployment marks "a significant escalation" in its involvement and was "a dangerous expansion of Russia's war." On Monday, the Pentagon said that North Korea had sent 10,000 troops to Russia who could join Moscow's fight against Ukraine in the "next several weeks" amid concerns from South Korea and the U.S. that Moscow might offer...

The ruling addresses a miniscule number of ballots and represents the latest legal defeat for state Republicans this election cycle. The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that election officials can count mail ballots with no postmark received as many as three days after Election Day. In a decision Monday, five of the high court’s seven justices disagreed with the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) interpretation of the law at the center of the lawsuit and determined it would not be in the public interest to change election procedures this late in the cycle. Justices Douglas Herndon and Kristina Pickering agreed with...

The question is when, exactly, did it become clear to Obama that it was time for Harris to finally replace Biden? Was it after Biden’s disastrous debate with Donald Trump? After the attempted assassination of Trump? No, it seems the countdown officially began Oct. 7. The Palestinians’ murderous assault on communities in southern Israel exposed Biden’s limited ability to represent the interests of the party he was tapped to temporarily preside over. It didn’t require an especially refined moral sensibility to be appalled and terrified by the carnivalesque depravity of Oct. 7—but to give Biden credit, he evidently was. And...

When you engage on the Internet, there are always people who do not want to do things, are unwilling to engage, and think they can hide from the government. They say they do not want to (pick your action), get a carry permit, sign a petition, purchase ammunition from a store, join a state or local action group, buy a gun from a dealer, or others because: They Do Not Want to Be on a List.The problem with this is: 99.9% of us are on multiple lists, whether we want to be or not.There are a few people who do...

The Tampa Bay Times joined a growing number of news publications in announcing that they would not be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the publication’s editorial board. In an opinion article, the outlet revealed that while the Times Editorial Board had made political recommendations for “17 Democrats and 13 Republicans across 30 partisan races,” along with candidates in “six non-partisan contests,” there was not a recommendation for a presidential candidate, adding that they “never planned to”:

Republican activists say they have to water down the reality of their opponents’ agenda in focus groups. ‘They just don’t believe it’s true. It can’t be.‘ In the September debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Trump said something so ludicrous that many viewers must have dismissed it out of hand. “She did things that nobody would ever think of,” Trump said, while rattling off a list of some of the vice president’s most radical past positions. “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” The idea that the vice president “wants to do...

“For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. For that which I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not wish to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that it is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which indwells me” (Romans 7:14-17). Believers have been freed from sin’s power, but not from its presence....

Although the legacy media has buried the story, it turns out that over the last several years the Federal Bureau of Investigation has resurrected a hated and unconstitutional spying program once directed by the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. His program, called the COINTELPRO program, targeted Americans who committed no crime, but simply sought to express their political views. Former President Richard Nixon directed Hoover to aggressively infiltrate and disrupt many political movements in the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s. This included the Vietnam War activists, the Rev. Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders. They even spied on...

We hear that misinformation is wrong information, disinformation is deliberate wrong information, and malinformation, a newly coined Orwellian term that hasn’t yet weaseled its way into the dictionary, is true information that goes against the regime narrative and thereby does ‘harm.’ Example. Biden is a strong president -- clearly misinformation. The Hunter laptop is Russian propaganda -- disinformation. The Hunter laptop story is true but runs counter to the Biden narrative, so it was suppressed -- malinformation. Disinformation is a powerful tool for wannabe tyrants. Those who practice the disinformation dark arts wield a double-edged sword. With one edge the...

Kama-lama-ding-dong’s got the blues. This was supposed to be her time. This was supposed to be her rise. She was supposed to make her-story. Instead, Kam-Kam’s on her way to an Election Night drubbing, a week-long bender, and a few months of solitude in celebrity rehab. She should take Hillary Clinton along, too. A period of detox and sobriety could do both some good. And the American people would benefit from their prolonged absence from television news. America will one day have a female president. She will be smart, articulate, prudent, and brave. She will treat her campaign for office...
