The world is one of the few known exoplanets that are smaller than Earth.

The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System spotted the comet on Friday.

On September 29, 2024, a video (see below) from the town of Axutla in the Mixteca Poblana region of Puebla, Mexico, went viral, showing a strange object, believed to be a UFO, in broad daylight. Captured on camera by locals, the footage, which lasts around 30 seconds, shows a mysterious circular object with spiked edges hovering in the clear sky. The video first surfaced on the Facebook page “Axutla Agua que Brilla,” and quickly spread across social media worldwide. Despite the viral nature of the video, local authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. For now, the UFO remains unidentified, and as more viewers speculate, the mystery deepens. Could this be another case of mistaken identity, or is there something more to this unexplained sighting?

Tonight’s VP debate, between GOP nominee J.D. Vance and Democratic nominee Tim Walz comes on the heels of a months-long media assault on Vance contrasted with a friendly sales-pitch of Walz.  The contrast couldn’t be more stark in how the two were greeted into the 2024 race. Walz has been sold to the American public as a “moderate” “folksy” “football coach” with “rural roots.”  On the other hand, Vance has been depicted as a “weird” and “dangerous” anti-women candidate who “believes in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity.” The media even judo-flipped Vance’s criticism of Walz’s “stolen valor” story by actually questioning his service, instead.  The following are the most egregious examples of leftist journalists and celebrities eviscerating Vance while whipping up excitement for Walz since the two VP candidates were nominated:     TIM WALZ   Selling Leftist Walz as “Folksy” “Football Coach” “Moderate” with “Rural Roots”     Correspondent Selina Wang: “He [Tim Walz] really has that perfect backstory. He also has those rural roots….He’s the one….who labeled J.D. Vance and his Republican allies as ‘weird,’ which gained a lot of steam with the Harris campaign. He has this folksy, personal, informal vibe that has really appealed to a lot of Democrats….Rural backstory….former member of the NRA….He was a football coach.”...Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl: “His district is a district that Donald Trump carried quite handedly, a pretty conservative district. And as a member of Congress, he was viewed as a moderate Democrat.”— Correspondent Selina Wang on ABC News Special Report, August 6. Walz’s lifetime ACU rating is 8.   Don’t Believe the Hype! Harris-Walz are the Jordan and Pippen of Politics?     “I’m Hallie Jackson, live at the home of the Chicago Bulls! And if Vice President Harris hopes to be the new political Michael Jordan for Democrats, tonight we’re gonna hear from the guy you could call her Scottie Pippen.”— Correspondent Hallie Jackson on NBC News Now’s live coverage of the night three of the Democratic National Convention, August 21.   Tim Walz “Knocked It Out of the Park,” “Electric,” Like a “Friday Night Lights” Episode Co-host Gayle King: “I have a friend of mine, a grown ass man who said to me, I haven’t put on my jersey in years, but this guy made me want to put on my football jersey and suit up and get out there and do something. I thought that was very funny. Talk about the importance of Tim Walz to this campaign, because he knocked it out of the park, according to the people in this room last night.”Chief campaign and election correspondent Robert Costa: “Oh, it was electric in here for Democrats, and they believe that Tim Walz makes this about something bigger than politics. It’s almost like an episode of Friday Night Lights.”— CBS Mornings, August 22.   Walz Is “Attack Dog” But Somehow Still “Joyful and Jolly” “He [Tim Walz] can be an attack dog and do it with a smile on his face….When Walz took the stage, he said ‘We have a heck of a lot more energy than they did at their convention. And there’s one guy who’s going to be sad, sad, sad about it.’ So he has a way of attacking. But, doing it so, you know, coming across as joyful and jolly.”— Correspondent Weijia Jiang on CBS News live coverage of night three of the Democratic National Convention, August 21.   This is the Sales Pitch? Walz Is “Normal As Can Be”     “Tim Walz is the opposite of weird. Like in a dictionary, if you had ‘weird’ and ‘ant-weird,’ you’d have Tim Walz’s picture there as a high school coach and its history teacher, and a guy that seems as normal as can be.”— USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, August 6.    Did Walz’s PR Staff Write This Headline?  “Walzing on Sunshine: How Tim Walz’s Upbeat Demeanor Got Him on The Kamala Harris Ticket”— Headline for August 11 USA Today article.   Condemning “Swift-Boating” of Walz “Republicans are talking about swift-boating Walz because he left the National Guard back in 2005 rather than stay and deploy to Iraq….Republicans are going to find out, I think, that framing a gun-owning Midwest nice guy as a radical far-left commie ends up painting you into some really weird corners.”— Host Chris Hayes on MSNBC’s All In, August 6.   J.D. VANCE   CNN’s Keilar Questions J.D. Vance’s Military Service     “I also think that J.D. Vance, as a messenger on this, may be an imperfect messenger because we have, as you introduced him as a combat correspondent, which was what his title was. But when you dig a little deeper into that, he was a public affairs specialist, someone who did not see combat, which certainly the title ‘combat correspondent’ kind of gives you a different impression. So, he may be the imperfect messenger on that.”— Host Brianna Keilar on CNN’s Inside Politics, August 8.   J.D. Vance Only Wants White People to Have More Children   “This is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook right?...There need to be more white children....This is about great replacement theory racism, right? This is what this is. So don’t misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of — you know racist thing.”— Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 30.   Alex Wagner Peers Into J.D. Vance’s Speech, Finds White Supremacy     “It reveals someone who believes that the history that the family should inherit, and indeed, the history that should be determinative in the story of the Vance family, is the history of the eastern Kentucky Vances, and not the Vances from San Diego, which is where his wife is from and from where her Indian parents are from….And I just think the construction of this notion reveals a lot about someone who fundamentally believes in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity, and it’s couched in a sort of halcyon re-visitation of his roots, but it is actually really revealing about what he thinks matters, and who America is, and that America is a place for people with a shared Western background.”— MSNBC host Alex Wagner on night three of MSNBC’s live coverage of the Republican National Convention, July 17.   J.D. Vance a “More Dangerous Virus” Than Trump     “He’s [Donald Trump] an instinctive, impulsive, intuitive nationalist. J.D. Vance is an ideological nationalist. That’s a much more dangerous virus because he can….polish this stuff and make it seem palatable to people. He can sell this stuff to Silicon Valley. He can sell this stuff to other places….It locks the Republican Party on a pathway that I think is dangerous for the world….This pick is a horror on the world stage.” — Contributor Van Jones on night one of the CNN’s live coverage of the Republican National Convention, July 15.   Vance’s “Cat Lady Comment” Continues to Be “Major Story” in Presidential Race     Host Jonathan Lemire: “JD Vance’s childless cat lady comment continues to be a major story line in the presidential race. And his cleanup attempts, well, they don’t seem to be working….We have children, we love our children, we wouldn’t do anything different in our lives. But to suggest that those childless Americans don’t have high-quality lives….continues to be, on a more serious note, deeply offensive to people….This one [story] is really staying, and particularly for someone like JD Vance, trying to really introduce himself nationally, this is not a good first impression.”...MSNBC contributor Katty Kay: “People with kids don’t like it. People, of course, without kids don’t like it. And then there’s this weird policy proposal that people who have kids should get more votes in the United States….Of course, the Democrats are making hey out of it.”— MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 31.    Joy Behar: If You Asked J.D. Vance for Directions, He’d Send You Into Traffic     “I went to an event with Tim Walz out in Long Island this summer. And he was the kind of guy….if you were lost, you would ask him for directions. Because he seems safe and he seems sane. J.D. Vance; you ask him for directions, he’d probably put you in traffic.” — Co-host Joy Behar on ABC’s The View, September 3.   Variety Slams Ron Howard Movie for Creating “Monster” J.D. Vance “Hillbilly Elegy wasn’t written for readers of [J.D.] Vance’s political persuasion. Rather, it served to explain to liberals why Trump would get elected that fall, inspiring waves of parachute journalism as reporters rushed to such communities to make sense of the strange turn national politics was taking.…It was that dimension of Vance’s narrative that clearly attracted director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer — both self-avowed liberals, who may have created a monster by legitimizing his origin story, much as The Apprentice producer Mark Burnett did by giving Trump a reality TV spotlight back in 2004.”— Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge in a July 17 article.   “Deeply Weird” Vance “Can’t Connect” With “Ordinary Americans”      “[Trump] and Vance are lots of things: they’re misogynists, narcissists, men who cum dead silent, plausible Masked Singer contestants. But they are also deeply weird. And each day seems to bring new evidence of Vance failing to connect with ordinary Americans from being booed by firefighters, whom he referred to as ‘haters,’ to the viral clip of him utterly failing to make small talk in a donut shop.”— Host John Oliver on HBO’s Last Week Tonight, September 9.    Colbert Knowingly Spreads Fake Couch Story for Laughs      “So, all of us, all of us, please, have a responsibility to stop the spread of vicious rumors like JD Vance had sex with a couch. Because it’s simply not true. Which is why we have to refuse to use the hashtag #CushionPushinJDVance. And that’s why I certainly won't ever perform the juvenile chant, ‘JD Vance is sittin’ on a couch. His pee-pee hit the zipper and ouch!’...The AP had removed their fact check, which can only mean one of two things. Either the original story does not meet the AP’s rigorous standards or JD Vance had sex with a couch.”— Host Stephen Colbert on CBS’s The Late Show, July 25.

With only one week to go until the first anniversary of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart thought it would be a good idea to welcome far-left author Ta-Nehisi Coates to Monday’s taping of The Daily Show to promote his new book and compare the besieged nation to slave owners and traders. Stewart set the table, “There's a certain aspect of your career that has really tried to reconcile, not with things in the present, but their vestiges, the structures, racial politics, slavery, economic injustices, where it may not be the active virus, but it is these vestiges of it that still, you know, leach into the groundwater and make it toxic and polluted. This book felt a little different in that you were also going into the present. And bringing those lessons with you. And I thought that was a really moving part of the book.”     Coates then claimed the part of today’s world where one can see the horrors of the past is Israel, “Yeah, that’s true, and I guess I'm going to be they want to broach this, but it was obviously most active when I was in Jerusalem, when I was in Haifa, when I was on the West Bank. I mean, it was the history, but the history was active and that was tough, that was tough.  I'm used to, you know, going to some, you know, slave plantation and saying, ‘Yeah, this did happen 150 years ago, but here's how you feel the impact,” and you’re like ‘no, it is right now, it is right now.’” Instead of pushing back, Stewart recalled how Coates also traveled to Senegal, where there is a memorial to victims of the slave trade, “And it comes on the heels—so, in the book you’re also, you take a trip to Senegal. Is that in relation to your trip to Israel and the West Bank, in that same time frame or was that split up?” After recalling the timeline of his trips, Coates doubled down on his comparison, “They are in conversation with each other. I can't say I intended that.” Stewart agreed, “Right. That’s why I was curious, because there is a music there between the two.” Coates tripled down: Yeah, yeah. No, there is. I mean, Senegal is very much about me, frankly, investigating the very stories that gave me my name, you know, and gave me my identity. And trying to work through that and frankly, not completely working through it by the time I got over there, and then, you know, I take this trip with this wonderful organization, the Palestine Festival of Literature, and I get over there, you know, for five days, and I spent another five days with these ex-IDF guys, you know, who, I mean, had their own political evolution.  And this is very weird to say, but as much sympathy as I had for the Palestinians, watching Zionism in the world, even feeling like, this is wrong, what I'm saying is wrong, I was like, ‘My god, I know how you get here. I know how it happens’ and I don't mean I approve of it. But I see, I see how it happens. I totally see how it happens. Zionism is simply the belief Israel should exist, so if Coates feels that “is wrong,” then he has much more to answer for. When Hamas attacked Israel nearly one year ago, they disproportionately murdered and kidnapped peace activists on the left side of the political spectrum because for Israel’s enemies there is no distinction. None of this or any of the other relevant historical events were discussed in this segment except to say that Israel is trying to compensate for feeling humiliated by the Holocaust. Here is a transcript for the September 30 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 9/30/2024 11:27 PM ET JON STEWART: I want to ask you, there's a certain aspect of your career that has really tried to reconcile, not with things in the present, but their vestiges, the structures, racial politics, slavery, economic injustices, where it may not be the active virus, but it is these vestiges of it that still, you know, leach into the groundwater and make it toxic and polluted. This book felt a little different in that you were also going into the present.  TA-NEHISI COATES: Yeah. Yeah. STEWART: And bringing those lessons with you. And I thought that was a really moving part of the book. COATES: Yeah, that’s true, and I guess I'm going to be they want to broach this, but it was obviously most active when I was in Jerusalem, when I was in Haifa, when I was on the West Bank. STEWART: Right. COATES: I mean, it was the history, but the history was active— STEWART: Right. COATES: -- and that was tough, that was tough.  I'm used to, you know, going to some, you know, slave plantation and saying, “Yeah, this did happen 150 years ago, but here's how you feel the impact,” and you’re like “no, it is right now, it is right now.” STEWART: Right. COATES: It’s right now. STEWART: And it comes on the heels—so, in the book you’re also, you take a trip to Senegal. COATES: I do, yes. STEWART: Is that in relation to your trip to Israel and the West Bank, in that same time frame or was that split up? COATES: It was about, so, I think I went in, this would have been September of 2022 to Senegal, then, May of '23 to the West Bank and to Israel and weirdly enough, they are in conversation with each other. I can't say I intended that. STEWART: Right. That’s why I was curious, because there is a music there between the two. COATES: Yeah, yeah. No, there is. I mean, Senegal is very much about me, frankly, investigating the very stories that gave me my name, you know, and gave me my identity. And trying to work through that and frankly, not completely working through it by the time I got over there, and then, you know, I take this trip with this wonderful organization, the Palestine Festival of Literature, and I get over there, you know, for five days, and I spent another five days with these ex-IDF guys, you know, who, I mean, had their own political evolution.  And this is very weird to say, but as much sympathy as I had for the Palestinians, watching Zionism in the world, even feeling like, this is wrong, what I'm saying is wrong, I was like, "My god, I know how you get here. I know how it happens" and I don't mean I approve of it. But I see, I see how it happens. I totally see how it happens.

People might assume that Donald Trump would steer clear of Butler, Pennsylvania, after narrowly surviving an attempt on his life — but then they would be wrong. The former president plans to return to Butler, Pennsylvania, for another rally on October 5 — and Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” believes it’s an incredible show of strength. But Trump isn’t the only one who has refused to go into hiding after a brush with his own mortality. Steve Scalise survived an assassin’s bullet himself. The House majority leader ended up in the hospital for three and a half months after the shooting. “I was fighting for my life,” he tells Glenn. “I made an early decision, because I really needed to put all my focus into getting better. I had to learn how to walk again.” “Once I got that mindset, I said, ‘You know what? I’m not looking back. Like literally, rip off the rearview mirror. I’m not going to worry about what got me here.' God spared me,” he continues, adding, “I knew I was given a second chance.” Trump visited Scalise on the day of the shooting in the hospital, which happened to be the former president’s birthday. “He and Melania came, really consoled my family at that lowest moment. But I just made a decision, I’m not going to be a victim; I’m not gonna focus on why he did it, why I got here,” he explains. After Trump survived his first attack, he told Scalise it was “divine intervention.” “Here’s a man, Donald Trump, who’s put himself up for persecution by so many different people who have gone after him,” Scalise says. “And yet, he still moves forward. He still knows I have to do this for the country, and he believes that, and believe me, the country believes that too.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Pastor Ray Ortlund of Immanuel Church in Nashville, Tennessee, caught hell over the weekend for endorsing Kamala Harris. After trying to defend the statement, the Renewal Ministries president ultimately took down the social media post with the endorsement, claiming it had been "misinterpreted." "Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus," Ortlund wrote on Threads. Self-identified conservative David French of the New York Times — who recently did his best to characterize a vote for Harris as the way to "save conservatism" — responded to Ortlund, "This is the way." Other Christians were less understanding and quickly piled on. William Wolfe, founder and executive director for the Center for Baptist Leadership, wrote that Ortlund, Russell Moore's pastor, is the "quintessential 'Big Eva' pastor [a]nd now he's using the name of Christ to endorse a pro-abortion, pro-trans communist." Extra to supporting taxpayer-funded sex changes for illegal aliens, Harris has committed to codifying abortion as a federal right and has personally targeted a pro-life activist for exposing the trafficking of butchered babies' remains. 'The Democratic platform and the Bible cannot co-exist without one subverting the other.' Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R) noted that Ortlund endorsed a ticket that supports "kidnapping the children of parents who oppose child genital mutilation[;] Tampons in boys' bathrooms[;] Child murder up to birth and beyond[;] Covid snitch lines[;] Communism[;] And much more." Some critics shared a video of Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, announcing protections for those who would subject minors to sex-change mutilations — something President Donald Trump has vowed to criminalize. "If you claim to be an evangelical but plan to back the most liberal Senator and the most progressive platform in U.S. history — both of which blatantly contradict fundamental biblical principles of creation order and justice — then you have no right to lecture others about sticking to principles and voting with integrity," wrote Andrew T. Walker, associate professor of Christian ethics and public theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. "The Democratic platform and the Bible cannot co-exist without one subverting the other." 'My fault.' Megan Basham, author of "Shepherds for Sale," noted that "it's understandable that some Christians feel they cannot back Trump. It is not understandable to back Harris. Don't confuse Ortlund with principled third party voters or abstainers. This is indefensible." When asked how he could vote for Harris and Walz, especially in light of their pro-abortion agenda, Ortlund responded, "Abortion is a horrible evil. But the evils on the other side have risen to levels that jeopardize the foundational rule of law in our country. I am thinking long-term and voting for us to have a chance at national renewal in the future." The pastor's defense prompted more criticism. "If Pastor Ortlund is truly concerned about not jeopardizing the rule of law in America, one has to wonder where he has been during the past nearly four years," wrote John G. West, vice president of the Discovery Institute. After alluding to Democratic lawfare, the Biden-Harris administration's encouragement of censorship on social media, prosecutions of peaceful pro-life protesters, and the "refusal to enforce laws already on the books," West noted, "This [is] only a short list of what has been happening. But Ortlund assures us that in order to protect the rule of law we must vote for the same people responsible for these things." Sunday evening, Ortlund deleted his endorsement, writing, "I have deleted a post from earlier today because it was being misinterpreted. I should have foreseen it. My fault." When pressed on how it was being interpreted, the pastor suggested that answering that question "could risk reversing [his] decision to delete." Amidst the backlash, Ortlund was met with numerous comments on Threads thanking him for his Harris endorsement, several of which he signaled appreciation for. French and Ortlund — both of whom are involved in Redeeming Babel's "After Party" course for churches — are not alone in thinking that voting for Trump is un-Christian. Blaze News previously reported that Texas state Rep. James Talarico — a pro-abortion Democrat with a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood Texas Votes who regards the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms as "deeply un-Christian" — told MSNBC's Katie Phang Saturday that "too many Christians have forgotten all about Jesus and now worship at the feet of Donald Trump — a business cheat, a pathological liar, a serial adulterer, a twice-impeached insurrectionist, a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist." "I guess it's hate the sin, elect the sinner. That seems to be the new motto of too many Christians in this country," added Talarico. Like Blaze News?

Defense attorney Colin Astarita told reporters he believes his client, 43-year-old Jeremy Allen, is a longtime acquaintance of 43-year-old Christopher Hahn. Astarita said the pair had been back in touch with each other only recently, according to Newsday.On Friday night, the two allegedly went drinking together at a bar after first planning to attend a 12-step meeting together.'The video is brutal and heinous to watch.'"The two of them became very intoxicated," Astarita said. "At some point, there was an altercation that grew more violent."On Saturday morning, Allen reportedly texted his handyman and asked him to help clean up his house on Long Island.While the handyman was on the property, Allen's dog pulled at a tarp on the back patio revealing the feet of a lifeless body. When the handyman saw the body, Allen allegedly told the handyman, "Now you can’t leave. Now you have to help clean up the house."Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Elena Tomaro told Southampton Town Justice Adam Grossman during the hearing, "The handyman left the house in the quiet Oakville Estates neighborhood south of Sunrise Highway, saying he needed to get bleach."Instead of getting bleach, the handyman called the police.Beginning at midnight, Tomaro said Allen beat Hahn with a baseball bat for as long as six hours before he pulled out “a large knife” and stabbed his friend “in the head and neck.” Prosecutors said Allen dragged Hahn's "defenseless and helpless body" onto the patio. Allen's own home surveillance system reportedly caught Hahn's beating and stabbing death that Allen allegedly carried out."The video is brutal and heinous to watch," Tomaro said.Southampton Town police responded to Allen’s house at 9:52 a.m. Saturday after receiving a 911 call from the handyman. Hahn was pronounced dead at the crime scene.Allen reportedly was arrested about an hour after Hahn's body was found.Allen pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence in connection with Hahn's death.In addition, Allen was arrested in May when he tried to buy a shotgun; he was unable to do so because of prior criminal convictions."That [effort] was thwarted by the employees of Dick’s Sporting Goods," Tomaro stated. What's more, Allen has a pending rape case in Southampton Court involving a child under 15 years old, Tomaro said according to Newsday. Allen reportedly had DWI offenses in 2007 and is currently on probation for a 2022 drunken-driving conviction in Ulster County, according to the prosecutor. Astarita said he believes Hahn "injected himself into" the life of Allen, hinting that Allen may have a self-defense claim."He was in his own home," Astarita said, although admitting that he isn't sure of what caused the altercation between the two men.

Over in China, big things are happening. In this case, it’s one big DIY laptop, designed by a Chinese modder to fit a desktop PC with a full-size Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card into a laptop-style shell casing. The desktop version of the RTX 4090 is a powerhouse, making this DIY gaming laptop one of the most powerful laptops you'll never own. If you’re looking for raw power, the desktop version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 is easily the best graphics card you can buy. Nvidia hasn’t shared the same power with the laptop-equivalent RTX 4090 GPU, however. It might have the 4090 label slapped on it, but typical RTX 4090 laptop performance will match an RTX 4070 Ti under normal conditions.
