Exciting things are happening this month. No, we are not just talking about Halloween. There will be a comet soaring past the earth that hasn’t been seen in over 80,000 years. Astronomers discovered this comet last year and are excitedly awaiting its arrival. Special Comet Hasn’t Been Seen Since Time Of Neanderthals Astronomers are ecstatic at the chance to see this rare comet. Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas) will be appearing next month. Also, astronomers believe people will be able to see it with the naked eye. One thing that makes this comment so rare is that it hasn’t been seen in a long time. In fact, it has not been seen since the time of the Neanderthals. Astronomers discovered this comet last year and believe that it orbits the sun every 80,000 years. So you are going to want to see this since the next sighting won’t be for quite some time. The Guardian shared some information on the comet’s origin. “Dr. Gregory Brown, the senior public astronomy officer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said the comet was thought to have originated in the Oort cloud, which lies beyond Neptune’s orbit.” It made its way closer to the sun last month and astronomers believe that it will do the same thing around October 13. Get Ready For Greatness Brown explained that comets are brighter the closer they are to the sun and Earth. However, he warned excited viewers that “the closest approach isn’t necessarily going to be the brightest time.” With that, he said that although it is expected to pass on October 13, it could also happen closer to October 9. With that range of dates, Brown suggests that the best time to look for the special space occurrence will be a few days before or after. It should appear almost “directly between the Earth and the sun.” He encourages people to get out there and view the rare sight. He stated, “Naked-eye-visible comets are rare enough as it is, and this one has the potential to be amongst the brightest that we’ve seen in the last few decades. So it’s certainly worth a go.” Although astronomers do not know how bright the comet will actually be, they argue that it is already bright enough to see with the naked eye. Also, it is projected to keep getting brighter. If you are interested in seeing this rare phenomenon, the best time to look for it is in the late evening, after sunset “looking west towards the constellation of Boötes.” The source of the featured image is here.

'Things continue to move against Harris'

'We need a national popular vote'

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The Supreme Court in Brazil has ruled to end the suspension on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. This decision comes after an intense dispute lasting over a month between the judicial power and the popular online platform, featuring notable clashes over censorship demands. This significant ruling is the result of a legal dispute that kicked off when, in a late August verdict, Judge Alexandre de Moraes mandated a nationwide blockade of the platform. The platform found itself under scrutiny for refusing to secretly censor accounts in Brazil, particularly from supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. As part of the restoration, X has not only paid a fine but has complied with a court order for the censorship of at least nine accounts, including that of a sitting senator, Marcos do Val. “The resumption of [X]’s activities on national territory was conditioned, solely, on full compliance with Brazilian laws and absolute observance of the Judiciary’s decisions, out of respect for national sovereignty,” Moraes said in the court filing. X also complied with the demands to hire a legal representative in the country. X selected Rachel Villa Nova Conceicao. Brazil’s communication minister suggested in a press statement that X’s decision to capitulate, pay fines, and comply with court orders was a “victory for the country.” “We showed the world that here our laws should be respected, by whomever it may be,” Juscelino Filho said. Speaking at the All-In Sumit almost a month ago, Musk suggested that X would always obey international law but the company had the “perception” it was “being asked to do things that violated Brazilian law.” He added that the company was “in discussions with the judicial authorities in Brazil to try to understand what is actually going on and whether we’re being asked to break Brazilian law.” Regardless of what those discussions entailed, it’s clear that X has decided to pay the fines and censor accounts within the country to allow X to return to Brazil.

On Fox & Friends Saturday, co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy devoted a segment to informing viewers of how extreme Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz's support for abortion has been in his time as governor of Minnesota. She began by playing a clip from the October 1 debate in which co-moderator and CBS News host Norah O'Donnell asked Governor Walz if Donald Trump is correct in stating that the Minnesota Democrat supports abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy, with a clip of Walz not giving a straight answer and claiming that "that's not what the bill says" and that the change in Minnesota law he pushed "restored Roe versus Wade." Campos-Duffy then showed on screen the text of how the law used to read and how it changed under Governor Walz's recommendations: But here are the changes that Tim Walz himself made to the law. The original bill called for doctors to provide life-saving measures to any baby born alive during an abortion. And, yes, it does happen. But you'll see Walz strike through at the bottom, calling only for the "care" of the infant. Legal experts say these changes allow for end of life, quote, unquote, "comfort care," the ultimate euphemism, rather than compelling doctors to save these babies. The Fox host then brought aboard pro-life activist Melissa Ohden of the Abortion Survivors Network, who often speaks of how she survived after her biological mother attempted to have her aborted.  Campos-Duffy began by posing: "Tell us what happened in that bill and specifically what happens to babies that survive abortions in the state of Minnesota versus other states that don't have these brutal laws." After recalling that there have always been examples of babies who survive attempts to abort them, she then recounted: And the reality is, even the CDC years ago, Dr. Willard Cates identified, you know, 300 to 400 live births a year after failed abortions, and made it clear this isn't anything they wanted to report about. They said that it should be hushed up -- "Why would you want to turn yourself in?"  -- and there would be public clamor. And I think this is where we're at, Rachel. She added: There are states -- very few states -- that identify and report the number of babies like me who survive abortions, but we had in 10 different states 270 babies who survived abortions. And when you look at that Minnesota report from 2021, five babies survived, and not a single one of them were provided medical are, Rachel. This is a travesty. Campos-Duffy then followed up: "So they use this word -- and it just makes me sick to my stomach -- it's called 'comfort care.' Why don't you explain to our viewers what 'comfort care' means?" Ohden explained: It reminds me so much of when then-Senator Obama was discussing that in the state of Illinois, my friend, right, Jill Stanek, a nurse, held a baby like me who had survived an abortion, and the response to that baby not being provided medical care and the uproar when she brought it up to the public was that they would create a, quote, unquote, "comfort care room." No one would want this for their child, their grandchild, anyone they know and love. Why are they willing to do this to babies time and time again? And why are they hiding the truth from the American public? The Fox host then jumped back in and brought up comparisons to how China and North Korea treat aborted babies: These are babies that are survivable. They are not getting medical care. They are sometimes put in buckets -- that's what that nurse actually that you're talking about brought to the attention -- it horrified many, but it turned other people's hearts to stone. They just didn't care. And you see someone like Tim Walz doing this. You say that this is very similar to what they do in China and in North Korea -- that the policies of the Kamala and Walz - a future administration -- and even the Biden administration are like those countries. Transcript follows: Fox & Friends Saturday October 5, 2024 7:43 a.m. Eastern RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: A 2023 Minnesota abortion law called into question during this week's debate. Listen. (from October 1 vice presidential debate) NORAH O'DONNELL, DEBATE MODERATOR: Former President Trump said in the last debate that you believe abortion, quote, "in the ninth month is absolutely fine." Yes or no? Is that what you support? I'll give you two minutes. GOVERNOR TIM WALZ (D-MN): That's not what the bill says. (editing jump) ... but Minnesota, what we did is restore Roe versus Wade. CAMPOS-DUFFY: Hmm. But here are the changes that Tim Walz himself made to the law. The original bill called for doctors to provide life-saving measures to any baby born alive during an abortion. And, yes, it does happen. But you'll see Walz strike through at the bottom, calling only for the "care" of the infant. Legal experts say these changes allow for end of life, quote, unquote, "comfort care," the ultimate euphemism, rather than compelling doctors to save these babies. Founder and director of the Abortion Survivors Network, Melissa Ohden, who survived an abortion herself, joins us now. Melissa, what an honor to have you on today. Nothing speaks more to what we just saw in that debate than just seeing you right here. Forty-seven years ago, you survived an abortion and luckily got care, and you're sitting here with us today. Tell us what happened in that bill and specifically what happens to babies that survive abortions in the state of Minnesota versus other states that don't have these brutal laws. MELISSA OHDEN, ABORTION SURVIVORS NETWORK: You're so right, Rachel. The reality is, babies survived abortions before Roe. Many of us gratefully survived during Roe, and babies are still surviving abortions today post-Roe. And the reality is, even the CDC years ago, Dr. Willard Cates identified, you know, 300 to 400 live births a year after failed abortions, and made it clear this isn't anything they wanted to report about. They said that it should be hushed up -- "Why would you want to turn yourself in?"  -- and there would be public clamor. And I think this is where we're at, Rachel. There are states -- very few states -- that identify and report the number of babies like me who survive abortions, but we had in 10 different states 270 babies who survived abortions. And when you look at that Minnesota report from 2021, five babies survived, and not a single one of them were provided medical are, Rachel. This is a travesty. CAMPOS-DUFFY: So they use this word -- and it just makes me sick to my stomach -- it's called "comfort care." Why don't you explain to our viewers what "comfort care" means? OHDEN: Yeah, I was thinking about that this morning. It reminds me so much of when then-Senator Obama was discussing that in the state of Illinois, my friend, right, Jill Stanek, a nurse, held a baby like me who had survived an abortion, and the response to that baby not being provided medical care and the uproar when she brought it up to the public was that they would create a, quote, unquote, "comfort care room." No one would want this for their child, their grandchild, anyone they know and love. Why are they willing to do this to babies time and time again? And why are they hiding the truth from the American public? CAMPOS-DUFFY: Yeah. These are babies that are survivable. They are not getting medical care. They are sometimes put in buckets -- that's what that nurse actually that you're talking about brought to the attention -- it horrified many, but it turned other people's hearts to stone. They just didn't care. And you see someone like Tim Walz doing this. You say that this is very similar to what they do in China and in North Korea -- that the policies of the Kamala and Walz - a future administration -- and even the Biden administration are like those countries. OHDEN: That's right. And, again, this is what the American public needs to know. I find it fascinating, yet not surprising, that Governor Walz did not answer the questions the other night about abortions for the ninth month of pregnancy. NPR even did some fact-checking and shared that this week, that that is correct. Under Minnesota law, abortion is not restricted throughout any month of pregnancy. (...)

How did PBS, which has displayed anti-Israel bias while whitewashing the radical nature of Hamas and its American supporters, handle the tragic anniversary Monday of Hamas’s invasion of Israel, which resulted in the murder of 1200 civilians, including women and babies, and the taking of over 200 hostages? Poorly -- focusing on Gaza and Hamas, just as they have every other day of the year, and now Lebanon, mourning over deaths ultimately caused by Hezbollah. Sunday’s PBS News Weekend used a mother’s grief over her hostage son to push a ceasefire that would only benefit the losers, the terrorists (“militants,” in PBS-speak) of Hamas. Anchor John Yang: During the October 7 attacks on Israel, about 250 men, women and children were abducted by Hamas militants and taken to Gaza. 117 have been freed and eight others rescued by Israeli soldiers. But for the loved ones of the more than 60 hostages believed to still be alive, the past year has been a nightmare without end. Nick Schifrin spoke with the mother of one of those who is still being held captive. Alon Ohel was kidnapped from the Nova music festival, “the deadliest location of the deadliest day in Israeli history.” There’s been no proof of life offered since. Nick Schifrin: Like many hostage families, [mother Idit Ohel] urged the government to accept a ceasefire, especially after Hamas murdered six hostages last month. Also on Sunday, special PBS News Hour correspondent Leila Molana-Allen, whose reporting for PBS over the last year betrays her anti-Israel partisanship, reported from Beirut and showed nothing but sympathy for Lebanon, which has harbored the anti-Israel terrorist group Hezbollah for decades. Molana-Allen “both-sided” this morally one-sided conflict. Molana-Allen: Israel says that this fight is against Hezbollah, but much of the infrastructure they`re hitting, we are seeing huge civilian high rises being hit…..what we`ve seen is the complete dehumanization of civilians on both sides of this conflict, whichever side it is that one supports and a real lack of what used to be the fundamental principle here, that civilians must be protected in all cases…. On Friday’s News Hour, anchor Amna Nawaz focused on Gaza. Anchor Amna Nawaz: Monday marks one year since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel. Over this last year, the Israeli bombing and invasion of Gaza has exacted a terrible price on Gaza's people, with an estimation that one out of every 20 people has been killed or wounded. "News Hour" videographer Shams Odeh in Gaza worked with producer Zeba Warsi and Nick Schifrin to bring us this report on a year in hell. PBS News anchor Geoff Bennett opened Monday evening’s show with the proper tone: Geoff Bennett: Welcome to the "News Hour." It was one year ago today that Hamas gunman launched a surprise terror attack on Israel, killing and wounding thousands and abducting hundreds more. In Israel and around the world, memorials marked a year of loss, a year of trauma, and a year of war that is still unfolding. It was not yet dawn. Still, families of Israel's victims had already gathered to remember, lighting candles and choking back tears for the more than 360 people who were killed at the site of a music festival one year ago. When the sun finally rose, club music echoed. It was the last song that festivalgoers heard on October 7, 2023, before the shooting started, and in pain laid bare the solemn ceremony pierced by the anguished wail of a victim's relative. Families spoke of the moment that everything changed. Yet even on the solemn day of commemoration, Bennett had to remind everyone of Gaza. Bennett: For many Palestinians, there was grief for the 42,000 Gazans that local health officials say have been killed since the war began. And there was anger for what many Palestinians are calling a genocide at the hands of the Israelis. Bennett concluded with a “both-sides” sentence: Bennett: For some, today marks a grim milestone, for others, another day in a life upended by a war with no end in sight. Later in the show, correspondent Nick Schifrin properly checked in on Kibbutz Be’eri near the Gaza Strip, a cluster assaulted by Hamas on October 7. Nick Schifrin: Be'eri's 1,000 residents lived in about three square miles, invaded by more than 340 gunmen, some wearing Israeli uniforms, civilians killed point blank, dead bodies discarded or denied any dignity and taken back to Gaza, a couple embracing each other burned alive…. Bonus slant: the PBS show Amanpour & Co. sent this email on the anniversary day of Oct. 7. The subject line foregrounded Gaza, not Israel’s suffering: “Palestinian Journalist on Gaza: “There Are Situations Your Heart Can’t Take.” (The email itself led with a summary of a show segment with the mother of Israeli hostage Romi Gonen.)
