"Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 is a mere 35 million light-years distant, toward the well-groomed constellation Coma Berenices. About 50 thousand light-years across, this galaxy is seen to have a faint umbrella-shaped structure (right) that seems to extend some 50 thousand light-years farther, beyond the bright galactic disk. The giant cosmic umbrella is now known to be composed of tidal star streams. The streams themselves are extensive trails of stars gravitationally stripped from a smaller satellite galaxy that was eventually torn apart.

Chet Raymo, “Exile”
*“Exile”* by Chet Raymo “ Are we truly alone With our physics and myths, The stars no more Than glittering dust, With no one there To hear our choral odes?” “This is the ultimate question, the only question, asked here by the Northern Irish poet Derek Mahon. It is a poem of exile, from the ancient familiar, from the sustaining myth of rootedness, of centrality. A poem that the naturalist can relate to, we pilgrims of infinite spaces, of the overarching blank pages on which we write our own stories, our own scriptures, having none of divine pedigree. Yes, we f... read more

Don’t Charge Trump With EspionageFormer President Donald Trump shouldn’t be charged with espionage for taking classified documents with him —some of them apparently very highly classified — when he left the White House for semi-retirement at his Mar-a-Lago home. Nobody should be charged with espionage unless they are working for a foreign power and mean harm to the United States. The Espionage Act, which was written 105 years ago to combat German saboteurs, is rarely used now to target spies and traitors. Instead, it’s used as a cudgel to silence whistleblowers, journalists, and occasionally a stupid former pre... read more

Western Media Bias Makes Israeli War On Palestinians PossibleWhile US and western mainstream and corporate media remain biased in favor of Israel, they often behave as if they are a third, neutral party.

Its article on August 6, “Israel-Gaza Fighting Flares for a Second Day” is the typical mainstream western reporting on Israel and Palestine, but with a distinct NYT flavor. For the uninformed reader, the article succeeds in finding a balanced language between two equal sides. This misleading moral equivalence is one of the biggest... read more

What Did We Learn from the Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Affidavit?Former President Trump lands at Mar-a-Lago on Marine One in March 2019.

Since then, the public has received a steady stream of new information about the investigation from both the media and the court system itself. Just days after the Aug. 8 search, Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt of the U.S. District Court for the Southern Distri... read more

“Parasitic Derivatives: $1.5 – 2.4 Quadrillion Dollars, Too Big to Understand”
*“Parasitic Derivatives: $1.5 – 2.4 Quadrillion Dollars,* *Too Big to Understand”* By David Hague “I recently returned from two weeks of ‘high level’ meetings with a group of Bankers [this is code for two weeks of subsidized debauchery with bankers] in Rome. As I sat at my desk, I was hoping to motivate myself to pursue a more chaste and pure existence. Unfortunately the Polar Vortex experienced by North America drained me of my good intentions. The bone chilling cold once again had me reaching for my trusty bottle of Jack Daniels for warmth and inspiration. My time in Rome had not ... read more

WHY DOES THE NEW YORK TIMES KEEP TELLING US THAT GOP EXTREMISTS ARE CHASTENED WHEN THEY AREN'T?
Two weeks ago, I told you about a *New York Times* story, written by Luke Broadwater and Michael Bender, that said Trumpist congressman Paul Gosar was among several Republicans who had backed away from attacking the FBI over the search of Mar-a-Lago: Another House Republican, Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona, went so far in the immediate aftermath of the search as to write on Twitter, “We must destroy the F.B.I.” (Mr. Gosar avoided the F.B.I. search on Friday, devoting his Twitter account to other subjects.) In fact, Gosar didn't avoid the subject of the FBI search on that Frid... read more

The Dems use of fascist insultWashington Examiner: If Democrats ever had an original idea, it would die of loneliness. Such is the case with them calling any prominent Republican a fascist. For years, Democrats used to call Republicans racist. They continue to do so, mind you. However, "fascist" is the new, hip insult that is used to rile a rabidly toxic Democratic base and scare voters into thinking that supporting any Republican candidate is contributing to the imminent collapse of the United States. For years, former President Donald Trump was dubbed a fascist. Now, the Democrats are turning their ire towa... read more
