(End of the American Dream)—Archaeologists have made many surprising discoveries that simply do not fit what we are taught in our history textbooks. Vast numbers of “out-of-place artifacts” that have been found prove that ancient civilizations were far more advanced than we have been led to believe. Today, I am going to discuss some “out-of-place people” that researchers dug up in China. These “out-of-place” people create a tremendous problem for many historians and they are highly embarrassing to the Chinese government because they aren’t Asian. We are supposed to believe that China has been inhabited by the Chinese from the...

SpaceX is moving thousands of Starlink satellites closer to Earth, reducing collision risks but increasing their exposure to solar-driven atmospheric drag. According to SpaceX’s orbital plans, existing Starlink satellites are being lowered to 450–490 km (280–305 miles), while next-generation V3 spacecraft will operate as low as 330 km (205 miles). The advantage: failed satellites and debris fall back to Earth much faster, rather than remaining in orbit for years. But there’s a catch. At these altitudes, satellites encounter Earth’s thin upper atmosphere. Solar activity heats and expands that atmosphere, increasing drag, accelerating orbital decay and forcing satellites to burn more...

I've been preaching this since the 2000 election where Democrats were scrounging around for "ballots" over several weeks in Florida. George Will, in his saner days, posited that when released final results were not double blind, the losing side knows just how many votes had to be "found" in order to squeak ahead. This has been the bane of our national existence every since. Such a proposal would require a hard STOP to elections, presumably early in the morning after Election Day or some short time after. All ballot counts in a jurisdiction are sequestered in secret, with a soft...

Nine suspects allegedly tied to the Sinaloa Cartel were arrested in San Bernardino following a yearlong investigation into organized train cargo thefts targeting Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) trains, authorities announced Wednesday. During the investigation, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department identified numerous suspects and vehicles allegedly used to steal cargo from trains, resulting in millions of dollars in stolen property, according to authorities.

Explanation: Jupiter is one of the least lonely planets in the Solar System, at least when it comes to natural satellites. 115 moons have been discovered orbiting Jupiter so far! (Saturn has the most with 293, but who’s counting.) Ganymede and Io, two of Jupiter’s Galilean moons, met in the sky on October 20th, 2026. Today’s video captures the meeting, with Ganymede briefly blocking Io from view. This event, when an astronomical object passes in front of another and either completely or partially blocks it, is called a mutual occultation. The mutual occultations of Galilean moons are rare to witness...

A gun control nut vandalized the 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pool with red spray paint in a broad daylight political stunt. Jonathan Andrew Tijerina, 31, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and making graffiti for tagging a section of the North Tower reflecting pool with the name of his website Monday evening, police said, according to CBS News New York. “Juststopkillingkids.com,” read the red spray-painted markings written across the names of dozens of victims engraved into the memorial at the footprint of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attack. Thomas P. Sullivan Tijerina, 31, took credit for the vile desecration, posting...

MINNEAPOLIS — A former federal immigration judge says Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who is under investigation, could face both criminal charges and denaturalization. There are two federal probes ongoing into the congresswoman — the first into alleged immigration fraud and the second involving her financial disclosures and a sharp discrepancy reported just one year apart. “If somebody who’s a naturalized citizen — which I believe Ilhan Omar is — is convicted of a crime, that doesn’t automatically mean that they face denaturalization or anything like that,” Nathan Hansen, an attorney of 23 years, told Fox News Digital. “They would be...

The crazy far-left feminists who talk about men in a way that resembles a cliche-ridden Lifetime movie have now invented a crazy new term that they feel perfectly encapsulates the world they live in. A woman going by V (real name Even Ensler) wrote an article in the far-left The Guardian bemoaning that "endless destructive paradigm of the patriarchy" has worsened to the point that it means a more 'sinister' force is afoot. V has deemed this force "psychopatriarchy." "The wheels are off the cart," she writes. "We are in the midst of a chaotic, demented acceleration of the most...

The Canadian government on Tuesday introduced a bill that would allow Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), Canada’s preferred euphemism for euthanasia, to be conducted on people who have lost the mental capacity to give informed consent for the procedure. According to Justice Minister Sean Fraser, the idea is to give Canadians a way to authorize euthanasia in advance, when they are of sound mind, “so their wishes could be respected if ⁠they are diagnosed with an incurable illness that could take ​away the ability to make this decision.” Fraser promised there would be “rigorous safeguards to protect people and ensure...

Dozens of House Democrats are keeping their distance from Rep. Ilhan Omar as the Minnesota “Squad” rep faces a federal investigation — even as party leaders rally behind her and demand that the Trump administration back off. A letter led by Rep. Pramila Jaypal (D-Wash.) and signed by 175 House Democrats accused the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security of weaponizing law enforcement against Omar, whose Washington DC home was searched by federal agents earlier this month. Around 40 Democrats declined to sign the letter from the 214-member caucus. “Congresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesota’s 5th congressional...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Ilhan Omar reportedly held a lengthy phone call with former President Barack Obama on Tuesday, during which she inquired whether or not he still had the number for that birth certificate guy. According to a source familiar with the matter, Omar is on the market for a birth certificate guy to make all her problems go away, and was hopeful Obama could "help a girl out." ... continue reading at: https://babylonbee.com/news/ilhan-omar-calls-obama-to-see-if-he-still-has-the-number-for-that-birth-certificate-guy

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday that there will be a “peaceful transfer of power” when new House members are set to join the lower chamber next year. “Of course, we’ll have a peaceful transfer of power, but it will not be transferring because we are going to keep the majority, and I’m going to be the Speaker of the House, and I will keep steady hands at the wheel, OK?” Johnson said, responding to MS NOW reporter Mychael Schnell in a clip she posted to the social platform X on Tuesday. “Look, you know my background. I’m a...

An Arab-Israeli woman casts her ballot during Israel’s general elections on October 27, 2026 in Umm El Fahem, Israel. Who could have written this script? The most condemned nation on earth, the one accused of a genocide against an Arab population, holds a national election and its own Arab population can determine who will lead the country. Let that sink in. The country accused of apartheid against Arabs empowers Arabs to directly influence its future. I don’t care if you’re right or left, religious or secular, Jewish or non-Jewish.

As usual, news of Benjamin Netanyahu's political death has been greatly exaggerated by the Protection Racket Media. The current Israeli prime minister has not yet survived his reelection campaign, but his coalition has won the most seats in the Knesset with more than eighty percent of the ballots now counted. It's still short of a majority, however, and that leaves Netanyahu with some tough choices. And Bibi's not alone in that predicament: With 84.5% of ballot boxes counted as of 12:34 p.m., partial results published by the Central Elections Committee give 54 seats to the bloc led by Prime Minister...
