Six new mysterious blasts of radio energy are detected from deep space.

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada (PNN) - December 23, 2016 - It may be three billion light-years away from Earth, but a distant constellation could be trying to contact us.

Six bursts of radio waves have been detected from the constellation Auriga, each lasting just a few milliseconds.

While the source of the waves remains unknown, some suggest the mysterious bursts of energy could be a sign of alien life trying to contact us.

December 21, 2016 - “Capitalism pollutes!” or so goes the charge.

To be clear, the term "capitalism" was most likely coined by its greatest and most notable enemy, Karl Marx. The free-market is a better description. Free markets are what happen when you leave people alone.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 19, 2016 - Donald Trump officially became president-elect Donald Trump shortly after 3:30 pm Monday, as he secured a majority of the Electoral College vote and easily overcame a last-ditch effort by protesters to keep him out of the White House.

NEW YORK (PNN) - December 20, 2016 - Would your granny shimmy feet-first into a suit made of electric muscles? “Powered clothing” company Superflex is betting she would, if it meant freedom from a cane and walker.

December 19, 2016 - Civil unrest used to be something we read about online, happening in distant countries like Egypt or Brazil.

But more and more over the past few years, we’ve seen it erupt right here in the streets of Amerika. The last thing you want to do is to be stuck in the middle of it, so the best thing you can do is to get prepared so you can ride out the storm from home.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 13, 2016 - Six years ago, NBC Nightly News boldly predicted that all Amerikans would be fitted with RFID microchips by the year 2017. Though at the time NBC’s prediction seemed far-fetched, the House recently passed a bill that would bring a micro-chipped populace closer to reality before year’s end. Last Thursday, the House passed HR 4919, also known as Kevin and Avonte’s Law, which would allow the Fascist Police States of Amerika attorney general to award grants to terrorist pig thug cops for the creation and operation of “locative tracking technology programs”. Though the program’s mission is to find “individuals with forms of dementia or children with developmental disabilities who have wandered from safe environments,” it provides no restriction on the tracking program’s inclusion of other individuals. The bill would also require the attorney general to work with the secretary of health and human services and unnamed health organizations to establish the “best practices” for the use of tracking devices.

HAWTHORNE, Kalifornia (PNN) - December 8, 2016 - Anyone familiar with scientist and inventor extraordinaire Elon Musk knows that he has some visionary ideas for the future.

For example, his Hyperloop transport system, which will be able to move people and cargo at speeds of up to 800 mph, could revolutionize transportation. He is also the founder of Space X, the company behind building interplanetary rockets that will, according to Musk, transport everything required to build a colony on Mars. His reusable interplanetary transport system (ITS) will move 100 people at a time to the off-world base once it is ready for occupation.
