Yeah, another bombshell. This is a subtle yet significant deal, completely under the radar screen and not reported anywhere, to my knowledge. This is a very slick move, IMO. 1: Israel recognizes Somaliland statehood 2: Who even knew that there was an entity separate from Somalia "Somaliland"? 3: Israel recognizes S-Land well before the UN recognizes it as a state.

Yeah, sure? 6: While there is certain to...

The featured image of a lunar corona was captured around last week's full Super Moon from near Knight's Ferry, California, USA. To the...
