WEIRDLY NOT TALKING ABOUT THE US TREASURY: Our Black Hole’s Magnetic Field Has Been Studied For The First Time.

IT WAS STUPID, WOULDN’T HAVE WORKED: But it fulfilled the demands of an unreasonable and delusional dictator. Hitler’s Supergun.

CHECKING TO SEE IF IT’S A FRONT?  WHO NEEDS THAT? Democrats to Attend Prayer Service at Radical Mosque.  Unless there is a LOT of evidence these people have cleaned their act, this is at best folly, at worst borderline treason.  BUT hey, you get multiculti points, and that’s all they care about!

IF IT WEREN’T FOR DOUBLE STANDARDS: Planned Parenthood was ‘right wing terror,’ but with Islam suddenly ‘motives don’t matter’.
