Project Galileo and Sightings for this Week.
It’s been just over a year since Dr. Avi Loeb announced the formation of the Galileo Project, which was a response to what he suggested was an alien artifact passing through our Solar System. It was a slower than light probe that he suggested was sent out by an alien intelligence searching for other life but had been in space for tens of thousands of years. Although his theory was not universally accepted, it resulted in the formation of an organization with the mission for systematic scientific research to look for similar artifacts or remnants of extraterrestrial technological... read more

REPUBLICANS: GLAD TO BE UNHAPPY?
The Editorial Board's John Stoehr has a theory about the midterms: What if, and stay with me here – what if Donald Trump’s constant lying about the 2020 election being stolen by Joe Biden and the Democrats is, um, *good for* democracy? ... Here are two items I saw Tuesday night as primary election results came in. The first came from Dave Wasserman, the *Cook Political Report*’s editor for House elections. There’s “lots of focus on Dems being more engaged/energetic post-*Dobbs*, which is undeniably true,” he said. “But to me, the GOP/Trump base appears less engaged than it was last... read more

Red States: ... For those who missed it, an August 23rd memo written by Dept. of Ed.

FBI agents accused of misleading Senators about Hunter Biden case
Washington Examiner: Two top Senate Republicans want to interview the FBI officials behind a controversial summer 2020 FBI briefing on Russia. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to the two FBI employees on Thursday, alleging the August 2020 briefing was "unnecessary and was only done because of pressure from our Democratic colleagues, including Democratic Leadership, to falsely attack our Biden investigation as advancing Russian disinformation."

Explaining the Hispanic move to the GOP
Carmen Sarmiento: My father taught me that we came to this country to work. I refuse anything that is free, and I don’t leech from anyone. I remember him with pride in his eyes, his head held high, and determination in his soul. When he would drive me to school in his 1979 Super Sport El Camino—loaded down, as it was, with two lawnmowers, one Weed Eater, and the other essentials of a small mowing business—those quick 10-minute drives were often filled with gems of wisdom. I didn’t fully understand those lectures on life at the time, but one day, as I am sure he understood, I w... read more

It Is the Player, but Mostly the Game
Person holding a machine gun (Somchai Kongkomsri, https://tinyurl.com/yh35b8m9; Pexels free to use). Earlier this summer, the United States offered to free convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in exchange for Moscow’s release of two American nationals: Women’s National Basketball Association star Brittney Griner and former Marine Paul Whelan. While it remains unclear whether the prisoner exchange will go through, Bout’s possible release is politically contentious—and understandably so.

The US Legacy In Afghanistan
The mid-point of August is an important moment in history for Afghanistan and the world. It marks the anniversary of the Taliban’s ouster of large portions of the U.S. military from Afghanistan, putting a formal end to a two-decade occupation. U.S. forces left Afghanistan just as murderously as they came in. Joe Biden’s administration oversaw numerous war crimes during its haphazard “withdrawal” on August 15th 2021. This included a drone strike that killed ten civilians and at least seven children. The cost of the twenty-year total siege of Afghanistan is well documented. Accordin... read more
