The skeptics will insist that the remarkable events that we are currently witnessing are just mere “coincidences”. But what if they aren’t? Very early on Thursday, Kremlin spokesperson Maria Zakharova openly warned that British military assets could be targeted by Russian forces and she ominously told British citizens “to think about the inevitable, catastrophic consequences of the hostile steps taken by their own authorities”. Hours later, Tropical Storm Dolly formed in the Atlantic Ocean just two days after Dolly Parton died. To top it all off, the “Great American Blood Moon Eclipse of 2026” begins at 9:27 PM eastern time on Thursday night and it peaks at 12:12 AM on Friday morning. Incredibly, the entire continental United States will be able to view the peak of this particular lunar eclipse.
So much has transpired over the last several days.
On Tuesday, Dolly Parton passed away.
She wasn’t just a country music star.
To many Americans, she was a national symbol.
In fact, it appears that Nashville International Airport will soon be renamed after Dolly Parton…
A proposal to rename Nashville International Airport for Dolly Parton picked up support from local and state lawmakers Wednesday, one day after the Tennessee-born singer and songwriter died at age 80.
Nashville Metro Councilmember Russ Bradford said he is preparing a resolution supporting the proposed Dolly Parton International Airport name and has contacted members of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority about pursuing the change.
The idea predates Wednesday’s political involvement. Tennessee residents Lydia Popovich and Dan Dion created a Change.org petition seeking the name change in January 2025. Interest in the petition increased following Parton’s death Tuesday, and it had collected more than 127,000 verified signatures by Thursday morning.
Amazingly, just two days after the death of Dolly Parton a tropical storm with her name on it has formed in the Atlantic Ocean.
No official in a position of authority could have made that happen on purpose, because names for tropical storms that form in the Atlantic are “established years in advance”…
A tropical wave has become better organized with a defined circulation and a cluster of thunderstorms over the south-central Atlantic. Tropical Storm Dolly is heading toward the Leeward Islands in the northeastern Caribbean this weekend.
Atlantic storm names are established years in advance, with lists reused every six years unless a name is retired and replaced. Dolly was on that list and is not associated with the recent passing of the country music star.
The fact that Tropical Storm Dolly formed so quickly after Dolly Parton’s death is so incredible that the Drudge Report made it one of their top stories on Thursday.
And according to the latest NOAA forecast, Tropical Storm Dolly is heading in our direction…
What makes all of this even more amazing is that Tropical Storm Dolly has formed on the exact same day that the “Great American Blood Moon Eclipse of 2026” begins.
It is almost as if this lunar eclipse was perfectly designed to be viewable by everyone in the continental United States.
And we won’t be the only ones that get to see it.
This eclipse will also be viewable in parts of South America, Europe and Africa…
Weather permitting, skywatchers in the continental U.S. will have some of the best views. The eclipse will also be visible elsewhere in North America, South America, parts of Europe and Africa.
During the eclipse, Earth’s shadow will appear reddish orange on the lunar surface because of the way Earth’s atmosphere scatters light from the sun. That’s why a total lunar eclipse is also known as a “blood moon.”
As I noted the other day, 44.4 percent of the entire global population will be able to see this eclipse.
The action will commence at 9:23 PM eastern time on Thursday night, and the peak of the eclipse will occur at precisely 12:12 AM eastern time on Friday…
Thursday’s eclipse will begin at 9:23 p.m. ET, when the moon first enters the outer part of Earth’s shadow. The real action gets underway, however, at 10:33 p.m. ET, when Earth’s shadow starts to envelop the lunar surface, appearing to take a “bite” out of the lunar disk.
The eclipse will peak at 12:12 a.m. ET, when more than 96% of the lunar surface will be shrouded. The event will end at 3:01 a.m. ET when the moon exits the outer edge of Earth’s shadow.
Throughout human history, many cultures have regarded blood moon eclipses as harbingers of war.
Interestingly, very early on Thursday the Russians literally threatened to bomb the United Kingdom…
On Thursday the Kremlin has issued one of its strongest warnings and threats aimed at London to date, accusing the UK of “fully taking part in the war on Kiev’s side” – and thus thwarting any chance of peace talks while adding fuel to the fire.
Moscow is now saying that the UK’s own military facilities could become fair game for direct attacks.
Kremlin spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a Thursday press briefing, “We have repeatedly warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons against Russian territory could be directed against any British military facilities and equipment in Ukraine and beyond.”
Zakharova urged “all residents of the United Kingdom to think about the inevitable, catastrophic consequences of the hostile steps taken by their own authorities.”
You can watch footage of Zakharova making these statements on X.
This isn’t just some random Russian official saying these things.
Zakharova speaks for the Kremlin just like the White House press secretary speaks for the White House.
If the Russians actually do this, we will be obligated to respond.
And then we will be in a shooting war with Russia.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has become so brutal in recent months.
Both sides are absolutely pummeling one another will missiles and drones, and nobody is safe.
Earlier today, in the city of St. Petersburg a Russian Air Force lieutenant colonel was killed and his wife was critically injured when an improvised explosive device destroyed their vehicle…
An improvised explosive device detonated inside a car on Kolpinskoye Highway in St. Petersburg, according to the St. Petersburg-based news outlet Fontanka.
A serviceman and his wife were in the car, according to the outlet. The man, who held the rank of lieutenant colonel, was killed at the scene, while his wife was hospitalized. Fontanka claimed the blast tore off both of their legs.
The explosion occurred on the morning of August 27 near a Magnit store. Witnesses said the device detonated around 10 a.m. as the serviceman and his wife were pulling away from their home.
This war should have been stopped years ago.
Now it threatens to spiral completely out of control.
If Russia bombs the United Kingdom, nobody is going to be able to stop what happens next.
We are so close to a point of no return, but leaders on both sides just continue to talk tough.
Meanwhile, a tropical storm named “Dolly” just formed in the Atlantic Ocean and the “Great American Blood Moon Eclipse of 2026” will be looming over all of our heads tonight.
We are living in truly unusual times, and I have a feeling that global events are about to go totally haywire.
