Early Evenings in Late Winter Provide Some Dazzling Sights

February 28, 2023 Examiner MediaLast month, we looked to the south to find some of the brightest stars we can see. Sirius is the brightest star in our nights, but is it the brightest object?

Let’s start in the west this week. As another late winter day fades, it won’t be long after sundown before we see two lights through the dusk. Venus, the lower of the two, and Jupiter have been there, steady and brilliant, since late January. After the sun and moon, these planets are the brightest things we can see from Earth. If you look at them and then turn toward your left and compare them to Sirius, it’s amazing to see just how bright they are. MORE AT

NEW FROM EFSP: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS 1956

The Ten Commandments (1956)

The Ten Commandments (1956) was director and producer Cecil B. DeMille's last and most successful film, a partial remake of his 1923 silent film of the same title. It was filmed on location in Egypt, Mount Sinai and the Sinai Peninsula, shot in VistaVision with colour by Technicolor. The film dramatises the biblical story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews. He leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. Charlton Heston played Moses, Yul Brynner played his jealous half-brother Rameses II and Anne Baxter the Egyptian throne princess Nefretiri.

IN THE NEWS: FAUCI WANTED UNIVERSAL HUMAN SEPARATION FOREVER

FAUCI WANTED UNIVERSAL HUMAN SEPARATION FOREVER

Fauci Wanted Universal Human Separation Forever
BY JEFFREY A. TUCKER MARCH 2, 2023 HISTORY, LAW, PHILOSOPHY, SOCIETY

While millions were locked down, forbidden from going to events or even church, and the schools and arts were shut down, people kept asking a fundamental question: why is this happening, what is government doing, and what is the exit strategy? There were a number of possibilities.

Maybe it was to preserve hospital capacity and yet at that very time hospitals were furloughing nurses and parking lots were empty because they locked their doors to elective surgeries and routine checkups.

Maybe it was to buy time so that personal protective equipment and ventilators could be stockpiled and yet we later found that the ventilators killed many unnecessarily while stockpiles later sold for pennies on the dollar.

Or maybe it was to wait for a vaccine. That was the word on the street. Certainly vaccines had been in development since January 2020 if not earlier. One was coming. And the companies themselves clearly had huge influence on the regulatory agencies that later approved them and mandated their products through unusual means.

But the story is not entirely clear.

Consider the March 2, 2020, email from Anthony Fauci to David Gerson, a reporter for the Washington Post. This exchange took place two weeks before the Trump administration decreed the shutdowns and four days after the New York Times had called for a medieval response. It was only a week after Fauci had changed his mind both on severity and lockdowns.
