NASA needs to put out something razzle-dazzle every few years to justify their bloated budget but the truth is, they have reached the boundaries of our technology. Other than visiting a few nearby planets and moons, we have reached the limits of manned travel into space and must be satisfied with launching long-term instrument trips. Unless there is a breakthrough in recoverable life through cryogenic processes or much faster ships, people will never set foot on the planets of another star for many generations to come. All we can do is look from afar. Wormholes and other "short cuts" through space are nothing but mathematical dreams. This telescope is not a stand-alone piece of technology, the images had to be computer-enhanced using previous photographs, merged to provide the crisper images. I'm not saying we should stop exploring but right now the money would be better spent on saving America from wrong-headed politicians before they destroy the Earth.

As I've posted on here before, Hubble was taking the same kind of photos without spending another ten billion dollars to build another. Look, hundreds of millions of light years away the universe looks just like it does at ten million light years away. To the average taxpaying person, it's like looking at a lawn and seeing a blade of grass at your feet and finding out that another blade of grass twenty feet away looks just like the one at your feet only it cost ten billion dollars to find this out.

New Rasmussen Poll Reveals What Majority

According to a poll that was put together by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute, more than half of Democrats in the U.S. — 57 percent — agree with a statement that says the Constitution “is a document rooted in racism.” And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why our nation is in such sad shape. Kids are taught this line of thought from leftist teachers in public school from the time they first step foot in a classroom, all the way through their college days. The end result is a large group of individuals who believe the Constitution is outdated and unfit to be

Arizona prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence for a former Democrat mayor who has pleaded guilty to ballot harvesting in the 2020 primary election. Former San Luis, Arizona, Mayor Guillermina Fuentes, a major local Democrat operative, pleaded guilty last month to felony ballot harvesting after having been indicted in December 2020. Another Democrat operative, Alma Juarez, was also indicted at the time and pleaded guilty in March of this year. Ballot harvesting is where political operatives collect ballots from voters and turn them in on their behalf. Arizona officials made ballot harvesting illegal in 2016.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul bought up to $5 million in stock of a computer chip company ahead of a vote on a bill next week that would hand billions in subsidies to boost chip manufacturing, a financial disclosure shows.

Now, senators will convene as early as Tuesday to vote on a bipartisan competition bill, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and gives tax credits for production, Reuters reported Thursday. “It certainly raises the specter that Paul Pelosi could have access

House Democrats have passed two measures that would codify abortion into federal law to counter the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson, which returned the power to regulate abortions to the states. The first bill, titled the Women’s Health Protection Act, was written to shield health care providers and mothers seeking to terminate the life of pre-born children from any state restrictions. The legislation passed in a 219-to-210 vote with zero support from Republicans. The second bill is titled Ensuring Access to Abortion Act and would protect mothers who cross state lines from receiving any penalties for breaking state laws. The measure passed 223 to 205.

Joe Manchin wanted to wait next month's inflation figures before agreeing to a deal with his party's leadership on Biden's key agenda items.

It was one of the only restaurants in the US where you could have your burger and fries served to you by a smiling waitress who also happened to be packing heat, a marketing gimmick that fit in nicely with the old Colorado ranching town’s unusual name and Old West mystique. Shooters Grill also launched its owner to political celebrity and Republican superstardom. The only politician more popular than Donald Trump in western Colorado is Representative Lauren Boebert;

Recently, I sat in my airplane seat before takeoff and watched a parade of the obese squeeze down the aisle. Many seemed barely able to shuffle through the narrow space; how they would maneuver their bodies into the 18”-wide seats that awaited them was another mystery. Never was it more evident to me how unhealthy our society has become than witnessing that performance. I estimated that at least half the passengers on the airplane appeared sufficiently overweight to be clinically obese. How did this happen? “Something to drink, sir?” asked the polite flight attendant as she passed my row. She placed the famous Southwest snack mix package

French President Emmanuel Macron warned his country’s people Thursday to prepare for a total cutoff of Russian natural gas by supporting alternatives, having public lights switched off at night and engaging in a period of nationwide energy “sobriety.” The Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensuing sanctions have aggravated other factors driving up prices for energy and others goods. With no end in sight for the Ukraine war, Macron said, the French should brace themselves for costs to remain high. “This war will continue,” he said in a televised interview marking France’s national holiday, Bastille Day. “The summer, early autumn will be very hard.”
