There won’t be a total solar eclipse that passes over the United States again until 2045.…
As you read this, the U.S. government and one of its closest allies are starving nearly 2 million human beings. Aid agencies report that the Palestinian population has fallen into famine faster and more completely than any other population on record, entirely as a result of deliberate Israeli siege.…
