In a scientific first, astronomers have witnessed two objects violently colliding in space, the impact generating a dusty debris cloud reminiscent of cosmic fireworks. The collision occurred 25 light-years from Earth around a star known as Fomalhaut.

Scientists have watched Fomalhaut since discovering a dust belt around the star in 2004 “This is the first time we have seen a point of light appear out of nowhere in a planetary system,” The point of light revealed a collision between asteroids,

Editor’s Notes: Iranian people use VPNs to fight the regime with internet connectivity
Iran’s latest wave of unrest began with the kind of trigger that regimes fear because it spreads through every class: money. Shopkeepers in Tehran’s large mobile phone market shuttered their stores, and the anger pulled in students and more cities as the rial kept sliding and prices kept climbing. The protests did not reach the scale of the 2022 uprising, yet the tone shifted quickly, and the content online sharpened.

Regime Change Here? Protesters Call For The Death Of Ayatollah Khamenei As Violence Erupts All Over Iran
Is this the end for the tyrannical regime of Ayatollah Khamenei and his minions? During the fifth day of protests in Iran, violence erupted in multiple major cities, and protesters were shouting for Khamenei to be killed. But I wouldn’t get too excited yet. Demanding regime change is easy. Bringing it about is something else altogether. Khamenei and his minions have a lot more guns than the protesters do, and the current regime will never step aside willingly. So those that are desperately hoping for regime change in Iran should not count their chickens before they hatch.

Putting Plants Before People Prompted Palisades Fire, Plaintiffs and Papers Postulate
The 2025 Palisades Fire, which killed 12 people and destroyed 7,000 structures in southern California, might not have happened if state and local officials had been more concerned about endangered people than about endangered plants, documents and court testimony revealed.

California State Parks officials worked with Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) officials to ensure that firefighters didn’t damage “federally endangered plants” and “culturally sensitive” areas while putting out the turn-of-the-year Lachman Fire, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. Then the LAFD packed up its hoses and left while these “avoidance areas” smoldered. Days later, the smoldering brush erupted into the Palisades Fire.

Conservative Minnesotans had Tim Walz’s number from the beginning, and when he moved from Congress to the governor’s mansion, even more voters learned he wasn’t what he said he was. Being selected as Kamala Harris’s vice presidential running mate in 2024 only expanded the universe of those who realized Walz was way over his head in politics and government to a national level. He embarrassed the Democratic ticket, already mortally weakened at the top, with his quirky campaign appearances and speeches.

High-stakes chess in the Red Sea: Why Israel recognized Somaliland 
Despite the mostly negative reactions, this has the potential to be a strategic boon to the Jewish state, strengthening existing alliances while checkmating the Iranian regime’s last (nearly) untouched proxy force in the region.

Ilhan Omar, who is currently involved in a scandal surrounding Somali immigrants in Minnesota, was among the leading figures of this alleged genocide.

Tucker Carlson says no Americans have died from radical Islam. History says otherwise.
Speaking in a recent interview with The American Conservative, Carlson flatly declared that radical Islam has not killed a single American in nearly a quarter century. Tucker Carlson did not hedge his words. He did not qualify them. The statement was sweeping, absolute, and demonstrably false. Yet Carlson delivered it as a settled fact, while directing blame toward Israel and dismissing concerns about jihadist violence as manufactured propaganda.

In Texas, A 400-Acre Muslim Development Sparks Controversy
JOSEPHINE, Texas – This rural town with farmland stretching to the horizon might as well be a million miles away from New York City with its skyscrapers and big-city worries. More than a decade later, as Muslim migration to Texas has increased, a similar uproar has risen over a proposed Muslim-focused neighborhood anchored by a mosque in rural Texas, some 40 miles from Dallas. Promotional materials first described EPIC City, named after the East Plano Islamic Center, as the “epicenter of Islam in America.” At the Josephine City Council meeting, a resident of Armenian descent said people should be aware that, in his view, Islam is only peaceful when it is not in control. “Islam is not truly a religion of peace,“ he added. ”Once they get to a certain point in a culture, they start to ravage it from within.”

Is A Revolution In Iran Part Of The Plan?
Is it just a coincidence that a massive protest movement has erupted in Tehran at the same time that the U.S. and Israel are warning that new military action against Iran may be needed soon?  Without a doubt, the Islamic radicals that are ruling Iran are one of the most oppressive regimes on the entire planet, and so it is perfectly understandable that people that live under that regime would want to go out into the streets and protest.  But what we have been witnessing in Tehran this week doesn’t feel spontaneous to me.  Could it be possible that starting a revolution in the capital is part of the overall plan for the next stage of the war with Iran?

In A Desperate Attempt To Stop The Bleeding, A Conspiracy To Force The Price Of Silver Down Is Unfolding Right In Front Of Our Eyes
They aren’t even trying to pretend to hide what they are doing.  Everyone knows that the meteoric rise in the price of silver in 2025 has put an immense amount of stress on certain financial institutions.  Of course nobody is publicly confirming how much damage has been done, but it must be pretty severe if CME Group is taking such extreme measures to force the price of silver down.  For the second time in less than a week, CME Group has abruptly raised margin requirements on precious metals futures…
