Republicans who control the Senate are rushing to put 48-year-old Barrett on the Supreme Court before the November 3 elections, as if Joe Biden takes the White House and Democrats were to gain seats in the Senate then it would become harder to confirm Barrett.

All six toss-up seats are currently held by the GOP Senators. In three of these […]

TORONTO (Sputnik) – The current societal unrest in Canada, the United States, and other parts of the world is proof that current systems in place are failing citizens, Communist Party of Canada leader Liz Rowley said in an interview. Amid the ongoing unrest, politicians, activists, and other public figures have often asserted that communists and other left-wing groups are at fault. Rowley says that while communists and other left-wing factions are part of the movement for change, to characterize the protests as a left-wing conspiracy is to ignore all the issues that ordinary citizens are currently facing. “I can tell you […]

When you visit Maypop on O’Keefe Street, a popular “American South meets Southeast Asia” eatery in New Orleans, you’ll see a huge 3-dimensional accordion-like mural on the wall. It’s also reminiscent of a giant Vietnamese folded fan. If you’re on one side of the restaurant, you’re looking at a map of The Mississippi Delta. If you walk to the other side, your view is a map of The Mekong Delta in the southern part of Vietnam. After a dozen visits to New Orleans spanning from the late 1990s through its tricentennial, it’s noticeable to me that New Orleans’ three hundred-plus years […]

In research titled “Black Dwarf Supernova in the Far Future”, earlier teased in media and now published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, […]

Judge Emmet G. Sullivan made a dirty, political move on Tuesday that will delay justice for General Mike Flynn. It was revealed on Tuesday that Judge Emmet Sullivan was soliciting amicus briefs to allow for public comment on Flynn’s case. This is a highly unusual, purely political move aimed at dragging out Flynn’s case. It is important to note that Judge Sullivan in his order gave full discretion on which amicus briefs to approve to himself, which means he may likely approve ones critical to AG Bill Barr and General Flynn.
