It involves strategists, party officials and fundraisers, and they are having conversations about the president's performance, which they think was dismal.

Earth could suffer the worst solar storm in 165 years as six streams of plasma that erupted from the sun this week are set to make crash into our atmosphere tonight. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealed Friday that the worst-case scenario would be what happened during the 1859 Carrington event, which set telegraph stations on fire, cutting communications worldwide. In our modern-day society a geomagnetic storm - a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere- of that magnitude would cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts and damage to critical infrastructure.

An uncommonly powerful solar storm may occur in outer space Friday, officials have warned - the first in nearly 20 years if it comes to fruition. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued the Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch late Thursday - which itself was the first such alert aired since January 2005, when the earth was hit with the highest dose of radiation it had seen in a half-century. This time around, the 'unusual event' could disrupt electronic devices like GPS and parts of power grids, the American agency said - while citing how it may also drape...

A major point of contention among Redditors was including the state of Missouri in the South. 'I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!' a man declared, whose comments history suggests he lives in Alabama - and who further poked fun at how some in the southern part of Missouri pronounce the state's name. 'I feel like Missouri was only given to the south here to generate interaction and comments. Missouri is definitely Midwest, and classified by the government as Midwest,' a second argued. What do YOU think is the correct area for Missouri? South Midwest...

The Princess of Wales has announced tonight that she has been diagnosed with cancer aged 42 and is undergoing 'preventative' chemotherapy. In a deeply emotional video message, filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine revealed the news had come as a 'huge shock' and that she and William 'have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family'. It came days after she was seen smiling with Prince William as they left their favourite farm shop close to their Windsor home.

Experts have long thought that the human brain is one of the first organs to rot and decompose after we die, but new research suggests that is not the case. And in fact, it turns out that brains preserve quite well, according to a team of scientists at Oxford University - though they don't know how nearly a third of the brains lasted as long as they have. Until now, any time archaeologists found an old, well-preserved brain, it was regarded as something of an oddity - or at least the product of intentional preservation efforts by ancient people.

It’s August 2017 and everyone is abuzz with news of the solar eclipse. Fast forward seven years and, once again, the moon’s path across the sun has everyone excited. The Great American Eclipse is set for April 8. Almost all of the U.S. will get to experience the moon block out the sun but parts of 15 states - Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee – are along the path of totality, or the route of greatest darkness during the eclipse.

Although it may seem like an eternal feature of Earth, the Atlantic Ocean could be swallowed by a vast subduction zone, dubbed the 'Ring of Fire', a new study warns. Scientists in Portugal say this subduction zone is currently located beneath the Gibraltar Strait, the narrow gap of water between Spain and Morocco. But the experts think it could grow and expand westwards into the Atlantic and eventually become responsible for a 'closing' or shrinking of the ocean basin.

French tennis player Arthur Cazaux collapsed midway through his match at the Miami Open on Monday in terrifying scenes. The 21-year-old's clash against fellow Frenchman Harold Mayot was in the decisive third set when Cazaux fell to the ground as he prepared to return serve with nobody around him. He was lying on the floor for a number of seconds before the umpire finally got down from his chair and a medic rushed on to help

Woke up the other morning with my better half screaming, ran into the kitchen and she was on her hands and knees on the kitchen counter due to Mickey. I have taken two down so far. I used peanut butter and Nutella to bait them. Maybe that is all, but need to be sure.

Scientists have discovered that 75 percent of the US - home to hundreds of millions of Americans - is at risk of damaging earthquakes. The US Geological Survey (USGS) released the latest National Seismic Hazard Model that included 350 newly discovered fault lines since the previous model in 2018 - bringing the total to about 1,000 faults. The updates increased chances of disastrous earthquakes in the central and northeastern 'Atlantic Coastal corridor' that is home to Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.

Tennessee is set for a storm of cicadas not witnessed in more than 200 years. The nosey, red-eyed winged insects hibernate in either 13- or 17-year cycles, but the state will soon be buzzing with both - and experts have predicted there will be one million per acre of land. The infestation will likely see hundreds, if not thousands, of trees 'damaged beyond recovery,' a professor at Tennessee Tech University has warned. The last time these two groups, Brood XIII and Brood XIX, co-emerged was in 1803, the same year as the Louisiana Purchase and when Thomas Jefferson was president.

The New Yorker is running a contest. What should we call our era? Some possible candidates: Terrible Twenties, the Age of Emergency, Cold War II, the Omnishambles, the Great Burning, and the Assholocene. Try as I might, I cannot understand the last one. Regardless, it’s absolutely the case that there has been a dramatic turning of events and our lives. It’s not just national. It’s global and devastating. I’m going with the Terrible Twenties. Everyone seems to agree that this moniker applies, regardless of class or political leanings. You can take your pick of the symptoms: ill-health, inflation, political division,...

I have my firearms for the range - sport shooting/hunting and I wanted something to plink cans in my back yard (live in the burbs). I purchased a Crossman AK1 fully automatic/semi automatic BB gun, lol - looked like fun. Waiting for CO2 and have not fired it yet. Any FReepers have a review for this air gun?
