Iran’s Air Defence Troops already operate four battalions of upgraded S-300PMU2s, including launchers themselves plus the accompanying target detection and designation radar equipment. Furthermore, the country’s domestic defence industries have created a range of first-rate air defence systems, including the Bavar 373 and the Khordad-3.

It’s one of the most baffling problems in astrophysics. If the solar surface is 5,500℃, how can the solar atmosphere (the corona) be between 1 million and 10 million degrees C? For the first time, scientists have observed nanojets, bright thin lights traveling perpendicular to the magnetic field lines of the Sun that are the telltale signature of nanoflares: localized, rapid heating events of the corona.

Why do police murder African American men? Want the truth? We don’t think you can handle the truth.

Sure, some wanted to be urinated on, we know that but the real attraction was always sexual humiliation, the highest form of eroticism in Christian evangelical […]

President Donald Trump has offered federal assistance to the mayors of cities dealing with violent “antigovernment” protests, saying he can “solve [the] problem fast” if they can’t properly police their own communities. “These riots are an antigovernment movement from the Left that are all in Democrat run cities,” the president tweeted on Sunday. “The mayors have got to let their police do what they know how […]
From the devastation of the service industry to never-ending central bank intervention, these factors make predicting the future of the economy nearly impossible.

As Serie A winners Juventus ended their season with a whimper by slumping to their third defeat in four, Cristiano Ronaldo’s warning to fans that silverware doesn’t come easily might have more to do with him than he imagines. “It seems easy but it isn’t,” came the platitudinal post on Cristiano Ronaldo’s Instagram after he sat out the 3-1 final day loss to Roma that gave Juventus […]

VT: it goes 1000 times past Trump’s calling Nelson Mandela a “monkey” or using the term “kike.” Cohen has told us, time and time again, that he silenced 500 people for Trump and Jane Doe was one of them, there were others, all tied to Jeffrey Epstein and the 15 years they spent together, which VT has sources on. They paid models $10,000 to provide cover […]

Campaign shake ups are overrated. This is especially true of a presidential campaign where the candidates have 100 percent name recognition. The real manager of Donald Trump’s campaign is Trump. He can hire Brad Parscale or Bill Stepien or Mother Teresa and it won’t make a bit of difference. In this regard, the main reason for switching campaign managers (aside from Trump’s desire to self-soothe) is […]
The UK government has yet to tackle the modern slavery problem despite the adoption of the Modern Slavery Act five years ago, British law and human trafficking specialists warn. They claim the legislation does not work, and allows business owners to circumvent its provisions and benefit from sweatshop labour. “Modern slavery” is thriving in some parts of the UK, with workers in Leicester factories making clothes […]

A few years ago, when MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini was leading an interactive digital art project, she found the facial recognition technology it employed was far better at recognizing her lighter-skinned MIT colleagues.
