LAUREL, Maryland (PNN) - August 1, 2019 - Right now, there's a tiny little spacecraft zipping around the sun moving faster than any other man-made object has ever flown. The spacecraft, known as the Parker Solar Probe, is approaching the one-year anniversary of its launch on August 12 and it's been delivering some pretty stellar observations so far. After two flybys, Parker has been dumping data back to Earth for scientists to examine, and it's exceeding researchers' expectations.

Military intervention possible.

August 5, 2019 - Three mass shootings occurred in the last week in the Fascist Police States of Amerika and it’s starting to feel to many people like nowhere is safe. “I’ll hunker down at home,” they say. “I won’t go to Wal-Mart,” they vow. “I’m going to homeschool my children,” they decide.

Right now, that might feel like the safest choice. After all…

You can’t even go get school supplies at Wal-Mart without getting shot at.

You can’t go out for a drink without getting shot at.

You can’t go to work without getting shot at.

You can’t go to a concert without getting shot at.

You can’t go to school without getting shot at.

You can’t even go to church or mosques or synagogues without getting shot at.

You can’t go to a festival without getting shot at.

You can’t go to the movies without getting shot at.

NEEDLES, Kalifornia (PNN) - August 1, 2019 - The blistering sun hung high above the barren landscape, 118 degrees of scatter-the-critters hot, as Tim Terral loaded a magazine into his 9-millimeter pistol.

He narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on a target before a succession of pops cut through the silence. Bull’s-eye.

Satisfied, Terral wiped a bead of sweat off his brow and cocked his head to the side, a coy smile spreading across his slender face.

“I don’t miss much,” he crowed.

TEMPE, Arizona (PNN) - July 29, 2019 - This morning a Phoenix TV station aired a feel-good story about terrorist pig thug cops who are "rewarding people for good driving behavior" by pulling them over and giving them coupons for drinks at Circle K convenience stores. "If you see a Tempe police officer pulling you over," chirped Colleen Sikora, a correspondent for the NBC affiliate KPNX, "it may not be a bad thing. If an officer sees someone following traffic laws correctly related to bicycles and pedestrians, he can pull you over, but instead of a citation, you'll get a free drink coupon for either a cold drink or hot beverage. They're kicking off the campaign this morning at 8:00 a.m., so if you see police lights in your rear view mirror, maybe hold off on the panic."

Apple insists it’s only for a few seconds.

CUPERTINO, Kalifornia (PNN) - July 28, 2019 - Should it come as any surprise? A whistleblower working for Apple has revealed that its popular voice activated spying device helpful virtual assistant Siri, now in millions of households, "regularly" records people having sex, and captures other "countless" invasive moments, which it promptly sends to Apple contractors for their listening pleasure "quality control".

July 23, 2019 - I was just about the youngest person in the room. I usually am when I address veterans’ peace organizations. Of course, when I speak at universities, it’s the exact opposite case. Being a 35-year old post 9/11 antiwar veteran can be a bit lonely, a feeling of being stuck between two generational worlds. In this case, just this past weekend, I spoke, along with the great Ann Wright, at an amazing event titled Peacestock, in Red Wing, Minnesota. It was an annual gathering, several years running now, of the greater Minneapolis chapters of Veterans for Peace.
