    “The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age,” wrote Dr. Tony Phillips just six weeks ago, on September 27, 2018. The lack of sunspots on our sun could bring about record cold temperatures, and perhaps even a mini ice age. Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018 and Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding, says Phillips, the editor of spaceweather.com. “The bad news,” according to Phillips, is: “It also delays the natural decay of space junk, resulting in a more cluttered environment around Earth.” “It could happen in a matter of months,” says Martin...

  • Hillary Clinton says of Eric Holder and Cory Booker: 'I know, they all look alike'

    Hillary Clinton was being interviewed and the person mixed up Cory Booker and Eric Holder. Hillary made a joke about it by suggesting that the lady interviewing her couldn't tell the difference between two African American males. Many news outlets will say this is Hillary making a racist joke, but in context, she's actually making the host look kinda stupid by saying "I know, they all look alike." The host screwed up. Hillary is facing backlash for making the joke because it appears to be very, very racist.

  • PETA: Cow's milk a symbol of white supremacy

    PETA: Cow's milk a symbol of white supremacy Zac Self 11:24 AM, Oct 21, 2018 5 hours ago According to PETA’s latest press release, cow’s milk is a symbol of white supremacy. In a statement, the animal rights group links the dairy industry’s treatment of the cows to the concept of white supremacy. “Aside from ‘lactose-tolerant’ white supremacists, cow’s milk really is the perfect drink of choice for all (even unwitting) supremacists, since the dairy industry inflicts extreme violence on other living beings,” the organization said in part. “PETA is trying to wake people up to the implications of choosing...

    A street artist named Sabo has gone the extra height in their latest project, placing a picture of Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters' head on the body of slasher Michael Myers on a billboard promoting the new 'Halloween' movie set to release today. The artist placed the words "#Uncivil Democrats" on the billboard as well, referring to a string of events and quotes from prominent Democrats who seemed to push for civil disobedience towards GOP members. In particular, that is likely directed towards Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, and Maxine Waters. Sabo, the artist, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter and clarified that...

    The Week ^ | October 19, 2018 | Brendan Morrow
    Ready to go through the 2016 election all over again? Philippe Reines, who worked for Hillary Clinton going back to 2002 and was her senior adviser at the State Department, made the argument to Politico Friday that the former Democratic nominee might actually be the party's best hope for defeating Trump in 2020. He said no other Democrat has "anywhere near a base of 32 million people," especially not Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The party, he feels, shouldn't dismiss her as a failed candidate because she's "smarter" and "tougher" than most, and she "could raise money...

    In a social media post on Saturday, a writer for CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" seemingly celebrated the damage done to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's reputation during his bruising and bitterly partisan confirmation battle. "Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life," the writer, Ariel Dumas, posted on Twitter. Dumas later briefly made her account private, preventing others from viewing her posts without her approval. Her tweet came as the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by a 50-48 vote, with Republicans saying that the several allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct brought against him...

    Central Michigan University geology professor Mona Sirbescu gets asked all the time if rocks people possess are meteorites, valuable rocks from space. "For 18 years, the answer has been categorically 'no'... But this latest rock was the real thing..." "I could tell right away that this was something special," she said of the 22-plus pound meteorite, described as the sixth-largest recorded find in Michigan and worth potentially $100,000. "It's the most valuable specimen I have ever held in my life, monetarily and scientifically," she added. David Mazurek says he took his doorstop to the university for examination in January, after...

    How 'bout this? Real news from a news source. Not "just heard on Hannity," not some twitter feed. WASHINGTON, DC – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday began the final round of the confirmation battle over the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court, filing for cloture to ensure a final vote on President Trump’s nominee by the end of this week. Shortly before 10:00 p.m. in a night session on Wednesday, McConnell filed a motion for cloture, to limit debate on the Kavanaugh nomination and force a final vote as to whether Judge Kavanaugh...

    A staffer working on Florida gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum's (D) campaign was dismissed after a series of offensive social media posts surfaced over the weekend. Screenshots of since-deleted tweets from Manny Orozco-Ballestas, a youth director for the campaign, were published by conservative blogger Jacob Engels.

The Tampa Bay Times reported on Sunday that Orozco-Ballestas was fired because of the language used in his social media...

    One of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers has already been found to be a liar and now faces potential criminal prosecution and a potential 10-year prison sentence, thanks to actions taken Saturday by Senate Committee Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley. Last Monday an unnamed male accuser contacted Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse to accuse Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge of having sexually assaulted a “close acquaintance” 33 years ago on a boat in Newport, Rhode Island. Instead of performing any due diligence, Whitehouse promptly forwarded the allegations to his fellow members on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who subsequently broached the...

    Motto: ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies) If I am not mistaken, this Schumer character, who, amazingly enough, serves as Senate Minority Leader, is a trained lawyer. I wonder where he went to school, and what would his professors have to say about him if they were alive today. Here’s Chuck Schumer on Tuesday, during a presser, saying that SCOTUS nominee Kavanaugh is a non-person, as one of the fundamental principles in common law do not apply to him, i.e. he can’t benefit...
