Date of discovery: Aug 30, 2026Location of sighting: Earths SunSource: NASA sun images Now I decided to search some new filters for the sun and found this interesting one that increases the details and makes things more focused. I instantly saw the unusual matrix type UFO images appearing around the edges of the sun. It made no sense, but there they were in NASA images. Each image is 1 second long so the images change every 15 minutes so 1sec = 15min. These strange objects with geometric shapes were not just clear, but incredibly focused and reflecting the light and color…

Brooklyn Crawford, People’s World. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), in collaboration with the AFL-CIO, has launched a nationwide campaign calling on teachers, parents, and communities to boycott Target for back-to-school shopping. The union cited Target’s refusal to condemn ICE for its illegal assaults on communities across the country over the past year, particularly in Minneapolis, where January’s “Operation Metro Surge” led to the murders of two people, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents. “We gave Target ample time to stand with the communities in which they operate and help their neighbors,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten, “but…

In 1919, John Maynard Keynes left the Paris Peace Conference convinced the Allies were making a blunder of historic proportions. In The Economic Consequences of the Peace, he prophesied that the terms imposed by the victors were so punitive they would wreck the defeated Germans’ economy and set the stage for another world war. He was right, and there is a lesson here for President Trump’s war with Iran. Supporters of U.S. militarism frequently rely on the Munich analogy to justify Middle Eastern wars. The argument goes like this: Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement in 1938 emboldened Hitler to amp up his…

Culture Cofnas, Arday, and the Ever-Expanding ‘Discrimination’ Definition The terms of bureaucratic discipline drift ever further from the actual usages of the English language. A teacher of English told me in his class more than sixty years ago that his job was to teach discrimination: between the meritorious and the meretricious, the beautiful and the ugly, the good and the bad. If the result of his teaching was that we emerged able to discriminate, as discriminating persons, he would have succeeded. I suppose that it would now be as impossible to return the word discrimination to the sense in which…

Conservative intellectuals have spent the past month fiercely debating the “common good.” On one side are those who believe that government policy should operate on this principle (however it’s defined). On the other side are those who warn that it threatens individual liberty.  The debate inspired dozens of articles and tweets on the topic, illustrating some of the bitter divides on the right during the second Trump administration. But for all the attention paid to the common good, a key factor was left out of the debate: the actual opinions of Republican voters. If anything, the much-derided sentiment of “Leave…

The United States Treasury announced plans Friday to cut a major Egyptian bank’s branches in the United Arab Emirates out of the dollar system as part of “Operation Economic Outcast,” the new sanctions campaign against Iran. Banque Misr, Egypt’s second-largest bank, has 30 days before the new rule revoking correspondence rights with American financial institutions for its UAE operation comes into effect. “Treasury promised to sever every economic lifeline Tehran has left and finally end the threat of the Iranian regime,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in a department press release. “We also warned that Iran’s enablers cannot continue to…

With the key primaries over except for New Hampshire, the dance card for the Senate is set. And so are the odds. Historically, the first midterm election is bad for the president’s party, with the question being not whether there will be losses, but how many. Polymarket puts the odds of a Democratic sweep (Senate and House) at 49 cents, Kalshi at 46 (Note: All odds are as of the writing of this column). Even so, individually, Democrats are favored in four of the five swing states and Texas as roughly a tossup. Both sites have Michigan and Alaska at…
