At the end of August, amateur astronomer Gennady Borisov spotted a new comet while at the MARGO observatory in Crimea. The amateur astronomer used a 0.65-meter telescope he built and saw something that resembled a comet with a short tail.

What, Exactly, is Tulsi Gabbard Up To – A Response
A response to the NYTimes‘ recent smear piece on a Democratic Presidential Candidate, published three days before they are supposed to moderate the presidential debate.
The article also pushes people to believe that supporters of this congresswoman/service members are „unusual,“ or Russian bots. I personally assume this stems from the fact that a lot of people working in corporate media have been raised in somewhat of an elite bubble of neoliberals and ivy-league graduates. There‘s nothing wrong with that upbringing, but it definite forces a perspective that doesn‘t reflect the values and beliefs of everyday Americans.
How to watch the Democratic presidential debate in Ohio

Wie kommt man in den Bundestag?
In Berlin bin ich in den 22 Sitzungswochen des Bundestags, den Rest der Zeit verbringe ich im Wahlkreis. In meinen zwei Wahlkreisbüros in Kulmbach und Lichtenfels kümmere ich mich mit meinen Mitarbeiterinnen um die Anfragen, die seitens der Kommunen auf uns zukommen – von den Bürgermeistern, von Unternehmern, aber auch von Einzelpersonen. Und klar, es gibt auch die typischen gesellschaftlichen Veranstaltungen, bei denen Ehrenbürger ernannt oder Unternehmen eingeweiht werden.
How Many Days a Year Does Congress Work?
We do know that on average since 1977, Congress has had session about 140 days out of each year.
This week: Congress returns to chaotic Washington
Lawmakers also face crucial nomination votes, a potential veto override and, with the House only in session for an additional 28 days this year, rapidly approaching deadlines to avoid a shutdown, reauthorize expiring surveillance programs and the GOP push to ratify Trump’s trade deal with Canada and Mexico.
.. Hektische Kriegsdiplomatie um Syrien: Meldungen mehren sich, dass türkischer Verteidigungminister Akar heute noch mit seinem syrischen „Kollegen“ Ayyoub (von Russland vermittelt) spricht.
Indeed, US officials signed the SDF up to a “security mechanism” plan by which it removed all defensive barriers on the Syrian side of the border to forestall a Turkish incursion. EUCOM issued this just yesterday. Was Trump ever even briefed on this plan?

Mr. Bolton got into a sharp exchange on July 10 with Gordon D. Sondland, the Trump donor turned ambassador to the European Union, who was working with Rudolph W.

After defeating 100% of the ISIS Caliphate, I largely moved our troops out of Syria. Let Syria and Assad protect the Kurds and fight Turkey for their own land. I said to my Generals, why should we be fighting for Syria….
….and Assad to protect the land of our enemy? Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte. I hope they all do great, we are 7,000 miles away!
Trump: Let ‚Napoleon Bonaparte‘ rescue Kurds
„Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte. I hope they all do great, we are 7,000 miles away!“ Trump wrote on Twitter.
He defended his weekend order to vacate northeastern Syria and abandon the Kurds, saying that the US mission to defeat Islamic State in the region had been achieved „100 percent.“

Gegenwind für Ankara
Die EU-Außenminister einigten sich am Montag in Luxemburg darauf, dass es kein allgemeines Waffenembargo gegen Ankara geben solle. Dies hatten mehrere Mitgliedsstaaten gefordert, für die Entscheidung wäre aber Einstimmigkeit notwendig gewesen. So ist es weiter den nationalen Regierungen überlassen, ob sie Rüstungsgüter an die Türkei verkaufen.

Pentagon announces official withdrawal of US troops from Syria
Trump has not backed down from his pledge to remove U.S. forces from the country and instead has said he will soon implement sanctions that will target government officials in Ankara and “any persons contributing to Turkey’s destabilizing actions in northeast Syria.”
Krieg um Nordsyrien
Darüber hinaus haben sich die vor Jahren gehegten Hoffnungen, bestimmenden Einfluss auf eine vom Westen eingesetzte syrische Regierung zu erlangen, vollständig zerschlagen. Im Jahr 2012 hatte Berlin rund 40 syrische Exiloppositionelle unter Anleitung deutscher Spezialisten detaillierte Pläne für den Umbau Syriens nach dem Sturz der Regierung von Bashar al Assad erstellen lassen, von dem damals deutsche Beobachter – Geheimdienstler inklusive – fest ausgingen.

Berlins Hoffnungsträger in Ecuador
Morenos Kurswechsel ist in den deutschen Eliten begeistert begrüßt worden. Im Februar 2019 besuchte Frank-Walter Steinmeier als erster Bundespräsident seit über einem Vierteljahrhundert das Land; er wolle, hieß es zur Begründung, „den demokratischen Aufbruch Ecuadors würdigen“.[9] „Gegen einen globalen Trend entscheidet sich Ecuador für einen Weg der Öffnung“, behauptete das Bundespräsidialamt: „Deutschland schätzt diesen mutigen Schritt“. Auch die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung streckt erneut ihre Fühler nach Quito aus.

Eine weitere enge Vertraute Correas, die ehemalige Präsidentin der Nationalversammlung, Gabriela Rivadeneira, floh noch am Samstag nach Drohungen in die mexikanische Botschaft in Quito. Bereits im April hatte Ex-Außen- und Verteidigungsminister Ricardo Patino in Mexiko um politisches Asyl angesucht, was ihm Anfang Oktober auch gewährt wurde.
