The Appeal separately Addresses the Lack of Professionalism of Chief of the General Staff, of the Russian Armed Forces, Army General Valery Gerasimov. The Lawmakers also Draw Attention to Systematic Lies Cultivated by Russian Generals in Pursuit of further Awards for "captured" Settlements.

The Appeal concerns the Northern part of the Donetsk Region near the Town of Lyman, where the Ukrainian Defense Forces are Conducting Operation Vivaldi. It was from this Area that the Russian Lawmakers learned of Massive Losses among Russian Troops.

Agents of the ATESH Movement within the Russian Armed Forces' Center Group of Forces Report a Significant Technical Advantage for Ukrainian Units on this Section of the Front. Russian Troops point to New Robotic Systems being used by Ukrainian Forces.

Earth Heading to 25 hour Day

Earth's Spin is Slowing down. Scientists say 25-hour Days are coming. Here's the Science behind our Planet's Changing Rotation, and what it means for Humanity.

This Distinction is Intentional, Reflecting Two Different Methods of Measuring Movement. Since the Earth is Rotating as it Orbits the Sun, it must turn Slightly more for the Sun to be Observed in the same Position in the Sky.

Even the idea of a 24-hour "solar day" is Not an Exact Science. It Fluctuates in Small Amounts, and over very Long Stretches of Time, it Trends Longer. Some Describe the Phenomenon as a "tug-of-war between Earth and the Moon." It is the same Forces that move Ocean Tides. It adds Ttime to the day, one Ttiny Bit at a Time.

The Moon's Gravity causes Earth's Oceans to Bulge, resulting in the Regular Rise and Fall of Tides as the Planet Rotates. However, the Tidal Bulges are Not Perfectly Aligned with the Moon. This Misalignment is due to Friction created by the Oceans and the Seafloor, which Saps some of Earth's Rotational Energy.

Because of this, Earth's rate of spin slows down, and the Moon gradually moves farther away as energy is exchanged within the system. This process is officially described in NASA's explainer on eclipses and Earth's rotation.

Using Highly Accurate Clocks and Historical Records of Events like Eclipses, Researchers have Determined that Earth is Losing a Minute Fraction of a Second, an Amount too Small to be Noticed over a Human Lifespan.

The Timing of Earth's Rotation is Officially Monitored by Organizations like the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service. While an Exact Date for a Day Increasing by a Full Hour cannot be Predicted, Current Projections Suggest this Event would Occur in Approximately 200 Million years based on the Evolution of the Earth-Moon System.

Earth's Rotation is Influenced Primarily by Tides, but other factors, like the Redistribution of Mass, also Play a Role. Changes in Mass, such as those caused by Melting Ice or the Movement of Water, are Connected to Climate Change and can Slightly, over time, Alter the Planet's Spin, demonstrating that the Length of a Day is Governed by Multiple Interconnected Processes.

US Supreme Court Looms over MO Congressional Map

The Fight over Missouri’s Congressional Map appears headed to the U.S. Supreme Court for a Third time in Three weeks, as some Federal Judges continue to Assert that a New Map favored by Trump (R) should be used in the 11/2026 Elections. The U.S. Supreme Court, so far, has Disagreed. It has instead let stand a Decision by the Missouri Supreme Court, which Ordered the State to use the same U.S. House Ddistricts as it did during the 2024 and 2022 Elections.

A Third Decision from the Nation's Top Court, could finally put the Dispute to Rest and provide some Certainty for more than a Million potential Voters who have been Shuffled back and forth between Districts, causing Confusion about which Candidates will be on their Ballots. The State Supreme Court Ruled 9/3/2026 that New Congressional Districts Passed 2025 by the Republican-led State Legislature Ccannot be Used unless Vvters First Approve them. Those Districts, backed by Trump, were Designed to help Republicans Win an additional Seat in the Midterm Elections.

The Court pointed to the Missouri Constitution, which allows Citizens to Submit Petitions for a Statewide Referendum on Acts passed by the Legislature. The Constitution says that when Measures are Referred to the Ballot, they take Effect only when Approved by Voters. In this Case, Redistricting Opponents Submitted Thousands of Referendum Petition Signatures in 12/2026. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins (R) waited until a Deadline on 8/4/2026, the same day Missouri's Primaries were held using the New Districts, to Reject the Petition. Hoskins Asserted that Referendum Petitions aren't Allowed on Congressional Redistricting.

The State Supreme Court said Hoskins was Wrong. The Court said the Referendum Petition Prevented the New Map from taking Effect, Retroactive to 12/2-25. That means the August Primary was held under Districts that aren't in Law. The Court said the 11/2026 Election must be held under the Only Districts still in State Law, a Map Adopted in 2022, after the most recent Census. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who handles Cases from Missouri, let that Decision stand on S9/8/2026.

A Three-Judge Panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Ruled 9/18/2026 that the U.S. Constitution Prohibits Congressional Districts from being Changed between the Primary and General Election.

The Constitution doesn't Explicitly say that. But the Judges pointed to a Constitutional Provision requiring U.S. House Members to be Elected every Two years by Voters in Each State. They then cited prior Court Cases, which held that Primaries can be an Integral part of a State's General Election Laws. And they Noted that more than a Million Potential Voters, about 1 in 4 Statewide, would be Shifted between the New and Old Districts, meaning they had No say in the Primary about the Congressional Candidates appearing on their General Election Ballots.

The Judges concluded that would Deny those Voters a Constitutional Right to Choose their Representatives. The Appeals Panel directed U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark to Issue a New Order Barring Missouri from using Anything other than the Districts already Used in the August Primary. Clark quickly Complied. Clark had Issued a similar Temporary Order 9/8/2026, which the U.S. Supreme Court put On-Hold Two Days later. Opponents of the New Map Plan to ask the Supreme Court to also Block the latest Order.

Throughout Missouri's lengthy Legal Battle over Redistricting, Supporters and Opponents of the New Congressional Map have taken turns Arguing it's too Late for Courts to Order any Changes. Under its Purcell Principle, named for a 2006 Case out of Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that Judges shouldn't Change Voting or Election Rules too Close to an Election.

As a Result of the recent U.S. and Missouri Supreme Court Decisions, Absentee Voting already is Underway in Missouri, using the 2022 Congressional Districts. Opponents of the New Map Argue it's too late to Switch back to it.

But Supporters of the New Districts also have cited the Purcell Principle, Arguing that it's too Late to Switch away from the Districts used in the August Primary. The Appeals Panel Agreed, saying that using the 2025 Map would cause the Least Confusion for Vvoters.

Lithuania Prepares to Fight Back Russian Attack

Lithuania, where my Father's Mother is from, has drawn up Plans for a Mass Elderly Evacuation amid repeated Warnings of Russian Threats to the Baltics. Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius said His People feel "constantly threatened" by neigbouring Russia, as Drones repeatedly Cross over into Lithuania's Airspace. Just last week, Nato Jets were Scrambled and Emergency Alerts sent out, as a Drone Shot over from Belarus into the Country's South.

Mr Sinkevicius told the BBC that if His Country was Attacked, "we will fight back," and "we will engage". Plans had been made for a "number of scenarios" He said, describing how the Country might need to Evacuate Elderly Citizens "smoothly" out of Cities. He added: "We're thinking about a variety of scenarios, not all of them are being discussed very much publicly. "We face concrete threats, not on a daily basis, but we're experiencing them and it's a true reality for us."

The Lithuanian Prime Minister said that while Britain needed its own "shift in the mindset" when it comes to Defence, His Country was "closer to the border and closer to the threat". After last week's Drone Incursion, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda thanked the Italian Pilots at the Controls of the Jets for their quick response. He added: "With Russia intensifying its aggression against Ukraine, such readiness is vital for our region. "Together with our Nato allies, Lithuania will defend its airspace."

While Moscow as standard, has Not commented on the Drone Incursion, Belarus is a Key Ally to Vladimir Putin Thousands of Belarusian Troops are carrying out Drills with Tanks and Drone units near a Stretch of Land dubbed Nato's "weakest link" on Poland's Border. The Exercises are taking place partly near the Suwalki Gap, a 104-kilometre stretch of the Polish-Lithuanian Border which is the Only Land Link between the Baltic States and the rest of Nato.

It also separates Russian-allied Belarus from Kaliningrad, an Exclave of Russia on the Baltic Coast. Germany has Pledged to send Thousands of Troops to Lithuania, Warning that Europe was "living through decisive weeks or months for the defence of freedom and peace". By the end of 2027, the 45th Panzer Brigade is expected to be Permanently based in Lithuania, with German's Ministry of Defence Confirming Compulsory Deployments would form a Unit of nearly 5,000 Troops.

Around 80% of German forces currently in Lithuania, are there on a Voluntary basis, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said: "Thanks to the swift and professional actions of Lithuanian and Italian forces, Nato once again demonstrated our readiness to protect our airspace. "We stand united, around the clock, in defence of every inch of Nato territory."

Britain launched a Torpedo from an Unmanned, Uunderwater Drone for the first time on 9/21/2026 as the UK Strengthens its Defences against Russia.

The New Weapon would Protect the UK from Attacks on Underwater Cables and Infrastructure, after an Attempt by Russia was Thwarted.

Sir Richard Dearlove, the Former Head of MI6, said Moscow had "sophisticated means for attacking undersea cables" as He Acknowledged it was a "Vulnerability".
