Czech Republic: Some Moderna covid vaccine batches are 9 times more deadly than others

By Rhoda Wilson on September 12, 2024

Batch analysis of the Czech Republic data comparing one-year post-injection all-cause mortality rates shows some Pfizer batches are 3 times deadlier than other batches from the same manufacturer when given at the same time to the same 5-year age group.

And a Moderna batch can be 8 times or more deadlier than a Pfizer batch given at the same time to the same age group.

This cannot happen if the vaccines are safe, Steve Kirsch writes.

Over a 9x Increase in All-Cause Mortality Across Brands

Whenever you do batch analysis, the fairest way is to compare the one-year mortality rate between batches given in the same month to the same 5-year age range. This minimises confounders.

🚨🇺🇸 DENVER FUNNELED COVID FUNDS TO HOUSE THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN SHELTERS

Denver reportedly used federal COVID funds to house thousands of illegal immigrants in shelters and motels, leading to crime spikes and evictions.

Whistleblowers claim buildings have become magnets for violence, often involving Venezuelan gang members, and taxpayers have spent $70 million on this crisis.

Nearby cities, including Castle Rock, are considering lawsuits to protect their communities.

Starliner Suffers New Problems While Coming Back to Earth

Victor Tangermann

"We would not be surprised if Boeing were to divest the manned spaceflight business."

Homeward Bound

On Saturday morning, NASA's plagued Starliner spacecraft finally made it back to the ground.

The capsule landed in the New Mexico desert after spending just over three months in space. But thanks to technical issues worrying NASA officials, it left behind the agency's two stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, bookending a disastrous first crewed flight attempt.

The pair will have to wait for their ride back, on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, until February.

Signals on the capsule's return were mixed. On the one hand, according to NASA’s commercial crew program manager Steve Stich, it pulled off a "bullseye landing." On the other, the agency admitted that a new thruster had failed during its descent. The capsule also experienced a temporary blackout of Starliner's guidance system during reentry.

It's an awkward situation for the space agency: would Starliner have been able to ferry NASA's missing crew members in the end?

"I think we made the right decision not to have Butch and Suni on board," Stich told reporters on Saturday. "All of us feel happy about the successful landing. But then there’s a piece of us, all of us, that we wish it would have been the way we had planned it."

Double Down

While approaching the International Space Station in early June, five of Starliner's 28 control thrusters gave up, forcing Wilmore and Williams to take over manual control.

Subsequent investigations concluded that the thrusters had overheated, causing a Teflon "poppet" seal to expand and restrict the flow of the oxidizer.

Several helium leaks added to Boeing's growing headache at the time, worrying NASA officials.

The capsule didn't fare much better following undocking procedures on Friday. One of its 12 control jets on the crew module — a different set unrelated to the other malfunctioning service module thrusters — failed to ignite. And a glitch caused the spacecraft's navigation system to go down briefly during reentry as well.

It's still unclear whether Boeing will try to launch its plagued Starliner again. Analysts suggest the aerospace giant may dump the entire project, which has already lost the company well over a billion dollars, instead.

"It’s unclear if or when the company will have another opportunity to bring astronauts to space," Bank of America aerospace and defense analyst Ron Epstein told the New York Times. "We would not be surprised if Boeing were to divest the manned spaceflight business."

Young Star Cluster NGC 1333

This spectacular mosaic of images from the James Webb Space Telescope peers into the heart of young star cluster NGC 1333. A mere 1,000 light-years distant toward the heroic constellation Perseus, the nearby star cluster lies at the edge of the large Perseus molecular cloud. Part of Webb's deep exploration of the region to identify low mass brown dwarf stars and free floating planets, the space telescope's combined field of view spans nearly 2 light-years across the dusty cluster's turbulent stellar nursery. In fact, NGC 1333 is known to harbor stars less than a million years old, though most are hidden from optical telescopes by the pervasive stardust. The chaotic environment may be similar to one in which our own Sun formed over 4.5 billion years ago.

Who Really Cares What He Thinks?

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson praises Trump's defiance at assassination attempt: 'We wanted to see that'

Lindsay Kornick

Tue, September 10, 2024 at 6:00 AM

Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson called the image of former President Trump standing up in the face of his assassination attempt a moment the country "wanted to see."

Johnson was a keynote speaker at The Value Conference last week in Florida where he was asked about his opinion regarding the assassination attempt, particularly since he had met Trump during his wrestling days.

"Whether you love Donald, don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him. There’s no room for that. Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country.So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that," Johnson said.

He also mentioned how Trump was previously a fan of his who used to watch his fights in New York City.

"He used to come watch me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. First time I saw him, he said ‘let me see the eyebrows,’" Johnson joked, referencing a popular meme regarding his eyebrow.

Johnson’s publicist declined to give any additional comment to Fox News Digital.

Though he had previously endorsed President Biden in 2020, Johnson told "Fox & Friends" host Will Cain in April that he regretted the division it caused and would not be endorsing a candidate this year.

"The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time," he said.

"Am I going to do that again this year? That answer's no. I'm not going to do that," he told Cain. "Because what I realized that what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. And that got me."

"The takeaway after that months and months and months, I started to realize like, ‘Oh man, that caused an incredible amount of, division in our country.’ So I realize now going into this election, I'm not going to do that. I wouldn't do that because my goal is to bring our country together. I believe in that, in my DNA. So in the spirit of that, there's going to be no endorsement," he said.

"Not that I'm afraid of it at all, but it's just I realize that this level of influence —I'm gonna keep my politics to myself, and I think it's between me and the ballot box," he continued.

Donald Trump and JD Vance Stop by New York City Fire Station on 9/11 Anniversary

Kristina Wong11 Sep 2024

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump and running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) stopped by a fire station in New York City on Wednesday, the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil that killed 2,977 innocent people.

A number of New York City firefighters were first responders to the attacks and lost their lives, and survivors continue to suffer health conditions stemming from their heroic actions that day.

At the station, a young child told Trump, “President Trump, make America great again!” Trump responded by giving him a high-five.

Trump and Vance took photos with the entire department, as well.

They received applause from the department afterwards.

Their visit to FDNY Engine 4/Tower Ladder 15 on South Street took place after Trump and Vance visited Ground Zero, the site of the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, along with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Trump had faced off with during the first 2024 presidential debate the night before.

The Next Full Moon is a Partial Lunar Eclipse; a Supermoon; the Corn Moon; and the Harvest Moon

Sep 11, 2024

The Next Full Moon is a Partial Lunar Eclipse; a SuperMoon; the Corn Moon; the Harvest Moon; the Fruit or Barley Moon; the end of Ganesh Chaturthi and the start of Pitru Paksha; Madhu Purnima; the Mid-Autumn, Mooncake, or Reunion Festival Moon; Chuseok; and Imomeigetsu or the Potato Harvest Moon.

The full Moon will be Tuesday night, September 17, 2024, at 10:35 PM EDT.

This will be on Wednesday from Newfoundland and Greenland Time eastward across Eurasia, Africa, and Australia to the International Date Line.

Most commercial calendars will show this full Moon on Wednesday based on Greenwich or Universal Time.

The Moon will appear full for about three days, from Monday evening through Thursday morning.

This will be a partial lunar eclipse. The Moon will start entering the Earth's partial shadow at 8:41 PM EDT.

The slight dimming of the Moon will be difficult to notice until the top edge of the Moon starts entering the full shadow at 10:13 PM.

The peak of the eclipse will be at 10:44 PM with only the top 8 percent of the Moon in full shadow.

The Moon will finish exiting the full shadow at 11:16 PM and the partial shadow on Wednesday morning at 12:47 AM.

This will be a supermoon. The term "supermoon" was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 as either a new or full Moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of its closest to Earth.

Since we can't see new Moons, what has the public's attention are full supermoons, the biggest and brightest Moons of the year.

Although different publications use different thresholds for deciding which full Moons qualify, most agree this will be the second of four consecutive supermoons (effectively tied with the full Moon in October for the closest of the year).

The Maine Farmer's Almanac first published "Indian" names for the full Moons in the 1930s and these names have become widely known and used.

According to this almanac, as the full Moon in September the Algonquin tribes in what is now the northeastern USA called this the Corn Moon, as this was the time for gathering their main staple crops of corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice.

As the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox, this is the Harvest Moon.

The first known written use of this name in the English language (per the Oxford English Dictionary) was in 1706.

During the fall harvest season farmers sometimes need to work late into the night by moonlight. On average moonrise is about 50 minutes later each night.

Around the Harvest Moon this time is shorter, about 25 minutes for the latitude of Washington, DC, and only 10 to 20 minutes farther north in Canada and Europe.

Other European names for this full Moon are the Fruit Moon, as a number of fruits ripen as the end of summer approaches, and the Barley Moon, from the harvesting and threshing of barley.

For Hindus, this full Moon marks the end of Ganesh Chaturthi and the start of Pitru Paksha. Ganesh Chaturthi (also called Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi) is a 10 or 11 day festival honoring the god Ganesha that ends with this full Moon.

Ganesha is easily recognized by his elephant head and is worshiped as the god of beginnings, wisdom, arts and sciences, and as the remover of obstacles. Throughout the festival celebrants offer food, sweets, and prayers to clay statues of Ganesha at home and on public stages.

Traditions include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts, prayers, and fasting. On the last day (near the full Moon), people carry the statues to a nearby river or ocean and immerse them.

As the clay dissolves, Ganesha is believed to return to his parents, the god Shiva and goddess Parvati, on Mount Kailash.

Pitru Paksha (fortnight of the ancestors) is a 15 days long festival that ends with the new Moon. During this time, Hindus honor their ancestors (pitrs) with rituals, food offerings, and scripture reading.

Pitru Paksha is also known by a number of other names. For some Buddhists in Bangladesh and Thailand this full Moon is Madhu Purnima, the Honey Full Moon Festival or the Honey-offering Festival.

The legend is that when the Buddha was trying to bring peace between two factions in a forest, an elephant and a monkey fed him, with the elephant offering fruit and the monkey offering a honeycomb.

Chris Christie: Harris Should Not Do Another Debate with Trump

Pam Key11 Sep 2024

(Pathetic Doughboy relegated to "The View")

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Vice President Kamala Harris should not do another debate with former President Donald Trump.

Christie said, “You know, look, in the end last night, she did what she had to do.”

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Yes, she did.”

Christie continued, “Which was she’s the lesser known person with the lesser profile, she needed to show those undecided voters that she belonged on that stage.”

Co-host Joy Behar said, “Right.”

Christie continued, “Last night she showed she belonged on the stage. And that’s why, look, I saw her campaign put out a challenge for a second debate right after the debate. Please stop. Don’t do it.”

Behar said, “You do not toy with perfection.” ???????? KEK

Christie said, “Don’t do it. Really seriously — you get in the ring against a guy who has had more presidential debates than anybody in history and you knock him around. Raise your arms, go to two rallies a day, raise some money and go home, man. You know, don’t because nothing great can happen for her in a second debate. She’ll either do as well as she did this time, OK, or he could do better.”

Argentina Measures 4.2% Inflation, Down from 25.5% When Javier Milei Took Office

Christian K. Caruzo11 Sep 2024

The National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina (INDEC) announced on Wednesday afternoon that it measured an inflation rate in Argentina of 4.2 percent in August.

INDEC published its latest detailed monthly report at 4:00 p.m. (local time) on Wednesday, explaining that the 4.2-percent inflation rate in August is the average obtained from several categories, with clothing and footwear registering the lowest inflation at 2.1 percent. Housing, utilities, and fuel experienced the highest variance at 7.0 percent.

Immediately upon taking office in December 2023, President Javier Milei implemented a series of “shock therapy” measures to overturn Argentina’s multi-year long severe economic difficulties — which dramatically worsened during the administration of socialist former President Alberto Fernández (2019-2023) — as well as to avert a hyperinflation spiral that the nation was on track to fall into as a result of Fernández’s disastrous policies.

Since then, the inflation rate has consistently lowered from December’s 25.5 percent to May’s 4.2 percent, and hovered at around four percent in the following months. In June, Argentina experienced a slight increase in its inflation rate, going up to 4.6 percent, dropping down to four percent in July — the lowest measured rate in two and a half years.

The Argentine newspaper La Nación reported on Wednesday afternoon that, according to market estimates, Argentina’s total 2024 inflation will be measured between 122.9 and 123.7 percent — representing a 90-point decrease from the total 211 percent inflation measured at the end of Fernández’s presidency in 2023.

The Argentine Integrated Pension System announced this week that private sector wages have caught up to inflation and have recovered the purchasing power lost from the devaluation carried out by Milei as part of his shock therapy measures.

The official announcement of August’s inflation rates by the Argentine statistics institute comes days before the Argentine government’s presentation of the national budget proposal for the year 2025, which will reportedly be in line with Milei’s “Zero Deficit” fiscal goal.

Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni announced on Tuesday that Milei will personally present the 2025 national budget proposal to Congress, marking the first time that an Argentine president does so. The task is usually carried out by the minister of economy.

Milei confirmed the announcement shortly afterwards.

“On Sunday, September 15 at 9:00 pm I will present the National Budget under the Zero Deficit rule in the Argentine National Congress. I invite you to witness a historic milestone that will mark a before and after in Argentine economic history,” Milei said, before closing with his widely famous catchphrase, “Long live liberty, damn it!”

Prior to Tuesday’s official confirmation, Milei had expressed his intention to present the budget in remarks given during his participation at the latest gathering of the conservative Madrid Forum in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

“I will soon be going to Congress to explain the foundation of the zero deficit, to end once and for all the cancer that is the fiscal deficit, the fiscal crises and the macro disaster that has plunged Argentina into poverty,” Milei said last week.

9 Phenomena NASA Astronauts Will Encounter at Moon’s South Pole

Sep 11, 2024

NASA’s Artemis campaign will send the first woman and the first person of color to the Moon’s south polar region, marking humanity’s first return to the lunar surface in more than 50 years.

Here are some out-of-this-world phenomena Artemis astronauts will experience:

1. A Hovering Sun and Giant Shadows

Near the Moon’s South Pole, astronauts will see dramatic shadows that are 25 to 50 times longer than the objects casting them.

Why? Because the Sun strikes the surface there at a low angle, hanging just a few degrees above the horizon. As a result, astronauts won’t see the Sun rise and set.

Instead, they’ll watch it hover near the horizon as it moves horizontally across the sky.

2. Sticky, Razor-Sharp Dust ...

The lunar dust, called regolith, that coats the Moon’s surface looks fine and soft like baking powder.

But looks can be deceiving. Lunar regolith is formed when meteoroids hit the Moon’s surface, melting and shattering rocks into tiny, sharp pieces.

The Moon doesn’t have moving water or wind to smooth out the regolith grains, so they stay sharp and scratchy, posing a risk to astronauts and their equipment.

3. ... That’s Charged with Static Electricity

Because the Moon has no atmosphere to speak of, its surface is exposed to plasma and radiation from the Sun. As a result, static electricity builds up on the surface, as it does when you shuffle your feet against a carpeted floor.

When you then touch something, you transfer that charge via a small shock. On the Moon, this transfer can short-circuit electronics.

Moon dust also can make its way into astronaut living quarters, as the static electricity causes it to easily stick to spacesuits.

NASA has developed methods to keep the dust at bay using resistant textiles, filters, and a shield that employs an electric field to remove dust from surfaces.

4. A New Sense of Lightness

Artemis moonwalkers will have a bounce to their step as they traverse the lunar surface. This is because gravity won’t pull them down as forcefully as it does on Earth.

The Moon is only a quarter of Earth’s size, with six times less gravity. Simple activities, like swinging a rock hammer to chip off samples, will feel different.

While a hammer will feel lighter to hold, its inertia won’t change, leading to a strange sensation for astronauts.

Lower gravity has perks, too. Astronauts won’t be weighed down by their hefty spacesuits as much as they would be on Earth. Plus, bouncing on the Moon is just plain fun.

5. A Waxing Crescent … Earth?

When Artemis astronauts look at the sky from the Moon, they’ll see their home planet shining back at them.

Just like Earthlings see different phases of the Moon throughout a month, astronauts will see an ever-shifting Earth.

Earth phases occur opposite to Moon phases: When Earth experiences a new Moon, a full Earth is visible from the Moon.

6. An Itty-Bitty Horizon

Because the Moon is smaller than Earth, its horizon will look shorter and closer.

To someone standing on a level Earth surface, the horizon is 3 miles away, but to astronauts on the Moon, it’ll be only 1.5 miles away, making their surroundings seem confined.

7. Out-of-This-World Temperatures

Because sunlight at the Moon’s South Pole skims the surface horizontally, it brushes crater rims, but doesn’t always reach their floors.

Some deep craters haven’t seen the light of day for billions of years, so temperatures there can dip to minus 334 F.

That’s nearly three times colder than the lowest temperature recorded in Antarctica. At the other extreme, areas in direct sunlight, such as crater rims, can reach temperatures of 130 F.

8. An Inky-Black Sky

The Moon, unlike Earth, doesn’t have a thick atmosphere to scatter blue light, so the daytime sky is black.

Astronauts will see a stark contrast between the dark sky and the bright ground.

9. A Rugged Terrain

Artemis moonwalkers will find a rugged landscape that takes skill to traverse.

The Moon has mountains, valleys, and canyons, but its most notable feature for astronauts on the surface may be its millions of craters.

Near the South Pole, gaping craters and long shadows will make it difficult for astronauts to navigate. But, with training and special gear, astronauts will be prepared to meet the challenge.

Last British soldiers evacuate the United States

On November 25, 1783, the last British soldiers evacuate the United States.

The signing of the Treaty of Paris ended hostilities between the United States and Great Britain on September 3, 1783. Sir Guy Carleton, commander of British forces in North America at the time, received orders in August to begin planning the evacuation of all remaining British troops from the United States.

The evacuation plans dragged on because of large numbers of Loyalists descending on New York in a panic to flee the country. Nearly 30,000 Loyalists and escaped slaves left with the British, most ending up in Quebec or Nova Scotia.

General Carleton finally announced the last of the troops would be leaving at noon on November 25th. George Washington waited outside the city until the British left and their flag was removed from a pole at the Battery at the southern end of Manhattan (A battery is a military fortification with guns or cannons). Wiley British soldiers had hoisted their Union Flag on a greased pole on their way out of the city.

Several attempts were made to get the flag down, but were unsuccessful due to the grease. Eventually, American soldier John Van Arsdale was able to climb the pole by nailing pieces of wood to the pole and climbing up on them. He tore the British flag down and replaced it with the American Flag. Shortly after, a triumphant General George Washington entered the city and marched down Broadway to the Battery.

For a hundred years after, Evacuation Day was celebrated around the United States, but especially in New York City. Evacuation Day was New York City's biggest celebration of the year for a century and the evacuation was commemorated with a game of boys competing to take down a Union Flag from a greased flagpole in Battery Park. A descendant of John Van Arsdale would then climb the pole and put up a US Flag.

Once the Civil War came and Abraham Lincoln announced the annual Thanksgiving Day, Evacuation Day celebrations around the country tended to be absorbed by Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Evacuation Day was eventually lost because the date of November 25 was so close to the Thanksgiving date of the last Thursday of the month. The annual celebrations continued in New York, however, until World War I, at which time people seemed to lose their animosity toward Britain after its allied cooperation with the United States during the war.

NASA Scientists Re-Create Mars ‘Spiders’ in a Lab for First Time

Sep 11, 2024

Since discovering them in 2003 via images from orbiters, scientists have marveled at spider-like shapes sprawled across the southern hemisphere of Mars.

No one is entirely sure how these geologic features are created. Each branched formation can stretch more than a half-mile (1 kilometer) from end to end and include hundreds of spindly “legs.”

Called araneiform terrain, these features are often found in clusters, giving the surface a wrinkled appearance.

The leading theory is that the spiders are created by processes involving carbon dioxide ice, which doesn’t occur naturally on Earth.

Thanks to experiments detailed in a new paper published in The Planetary Science Journal, scientists have, for the first time, re-created those formation processes in simulated Martian temperatures and air pressure.

“The spiders are strange, beautiful geologic features in their own right,” said Lauren Mc Keown of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “These experiments will help tune our models for how they form.”

The study confirms several formation processes described by what’s called the Kieffer model: Sunlight heats the soil when it shines through transparent slabs of carbon dioxide ice that built up on the Martian surface each winter.

Being darker than the ice above it, the soil absorbs the heat and causes the ice closest to it to turn directly into carbon dioxide gas — without turning to liquid first — in a process called sublimation (the same process that sends clouds of “smoke” billowing up from dry ice).

As the gas builds in pressure, the Martian ice cracks, allowing the gas to escape. As it seeps upward, the gas takes with it a stream of dark dust and sand from the soil that lands on the surface of the ice.

When winter turns to spring and the remaining ice sublimates, according to the theory, the spiderlike scars from those small eruptions are what’s left behind.

For Mc Keown and her co-authors, the hardest part of conducting these experiments was re-creating conditions found on the Martian polar surface: extremely low air pressure and temperatures as low as minus 301 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 185 degrees Celsius).

To do that, Mc Keown used a liquid-nitrogen-cooled test chamber at JPL, the Dirty Under-vacuum Simulation Testbed for Icy Environments, or DUSTIE.

“I love DUSTIE. It’s historic,” Mc Keown said, noting that the wine barrel-size chamber was used to test a prototype of a rasping tool designed for NASA’s Mars Phoenix lander.

The tool was used to break water ice, which the spacecraft scooped up and analyzed near the planet’s north pole.

For this experiment, the researchers chilled Martian soil simulant in a container submerged within a liquid nitrogen bath.

They placed it in the DUSTIE chamber, where the air pressure was reduced to be similar to that of Mars’ southern hemisphere.

Carbon dioxide gas then flowed into the chamber and condensed from gas to ice over the course of three to five hours.

It took many tries before Mc Keown found just the right conditions for the ice to become thick and translucent enough for the experiments to work.

California Line Fire: NASA Snaps 'Fire Clouds' as People Told Stay Indoors

Updated Sep 11, 2024 at 8:53 PM EDT

Images taken from space show vast plumes of smoke billowing from the wildfires burning on the outskirts of Los Angeles, filling the air with particulate pollution.

The Line Fire in San Bernardino County threw out so much smoke and heat that it generated "fire clouds"—also known as pyrocumulus or flammagenitus—in the sky above it, which were snapped from space.

The smoke from this fire, as well as from the Bridge Fire and Airport Fire nearby, have wreaked havoc on the air quality between the eastern edge of L.A. and the Coachella Valley, sparking warnings for residents to stay indoors.

Pyrocumulus clouds are formed when extreme heat rises into the atmosphere, often from a wildfire or volcanic eruption.

The intense heat causes the air near the ground to rise rapidly, eventually cooling and condensing into water droplets, forming a towering cumulus cloud.

In the case of wildfires or volcanic eruptions, pyrocumulus clouds often contain large amounts of ash, soot, and other particles that are lofted into the air along with the water vapor, giving the cloud a dark, dirty appearance.

These images of the fire clouds rising above the Line Fire were captured from space by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8.

On Tuesday, the smoke from this fire and the others burning nearby caused "Moderate to Unhealthy" Air Quality Index (AQI) levels in Palm Springs and Indio.

"Windblown dust will add to the current smoke pollution and is expected to cause Air Quality Index (AQI) values to reach Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups or worse in the Coachella Valley and Banning pass between Tuesday evening and Thursday morning," the South Coast AQMD said in a statement.

The South Coast AQMD warns residents to "limit your exposure by remaining indoors with windows and doors closed or seeking alternate shelter," avoid physical activity and use AC or air purifiers.

The AQI is calculated based on several key air pollutants regulated by health standards, including PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.

At "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" levels, members of sensitive groups —like children, the elderly, and people with respiratory or heart conditions—may experience health effects.

The Line Fire, which started near Highland on September 5, has now burned 34,659 acres as of about 7 a.m. local time on September 11 and is only about 14 percent contained.

Over 65,600 structures are at risk from the blaze, and several neighborhoods have Evacuation Orders and Evacuation Warnings in place.

The smoke from other nearby fires has actually helped slow the spread of the blaze.

"In the overnight hours of the Line Fire Wednesday, fire activity was moderated due to smoke shading and cooler weather.

However, the fire grew on the north and east sides due to slope and vegetation driven runs," Cal Fire said in a report this morning.

"Today elevated winds and continued dry conditions will allow the fire to grow. Smoke from fires across the region will help moderate fire activity unless the skies clear and the smoke thins.

That would allow for more slope and vegetation aligned runs. There are 3,179 personnel assigned to the fire. Limited resource availability continues to hamper control efforts."

To the west of the Line Fire, just north of Glendora, is the Bridge Fire. Burning across both Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, this blaze is 47,904 acres in area and 0 percent contained.

"Excessive heat and Red Flag Warning until Wednesday afternoon due to hot, dry, and unstable conditions with gusty onshore winds.

Winds will shift to the west and northwest on Wednesday, which may impact higher elevation areas. Temperatures will remain high, however humidity will improve and increase slightly.

Large vertical plume growth and visible smoke columns will be expected again for this fire," an Inciweb update said.

To the south of both of these fires, near Trabuco Canyon, the Airport Fire has grown from 5,432 acres on Tuesday to 22,376 acres as of Wednesday morning.

This fire is also 0 percent contained.

Polaris Dawn Completes First-Ever Spacewalk

On Thursday, September 12 at 7:58 a.m. ET, the Polaris Dawn crew completed the first-ever spacewalk – also known as an extravehicular activity (EVA) – from Dragon at 738 km above the Earth’s surface.

The crew began preparations for the spacewalk shortly after liftoff, through a two-day pre-breathe process designed to prevent decompression sickness by slowly acclimatizing the crew to lower pressures while slowly increasing oxygen levels within the spacecraft’s cabin.

Once complete, the crew began preparations for the spacewalk, which included donning their EVA suits, completing suit leak checks, and venting Dragon down to vacuum.

After opening the hatch, the Polaris Dawn crew became the first four astronauts to be exposed to the vacuum of space at the same time.

Over the next approximate 20 minutes, Commander Jared Isaacman and Mission Specialist Sarah Gillis each exited the vehicle, completed a series of tests designed to evaluate the suit’s mobility, thermal systems and the Dragon mobility aid “Skywalker” before returning to the cabin and closing the hatch.

Mission Pilot Scott “Kidd” Poteet and Mission Specialist and Medical Officer Anna Menon monitored vital support systems throughout the operation.

Once the hatch was closed, Dragon was re-pressurized, cabin oxygen and pressure levels confirmed, and the crew was able to remove their EVA suits, officially completing the suit testing alongside the first commercial spacewalk and the first EVA from a Dragon spacecraft.

Three judges have recused themselves from the case concerning Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' attempt to block subpoenas requiring her to testify before a Georgia State Senate committee this week, according to court records.

The subpoenas, issued by the State Senate Special Committee on Investigations, seek Willis' testimony and documents related to her ongoing investigation into 2020 election interference and her relationship with Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor. Willis filed for an injunction to halt the subpoenas, which demanded her appearance at a hearing on Friday.

In a filing submitted on Sept. 4, Willis, represented by former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, argued that the subpoenas' broad demands for documents would harm the prosecution's case. She requested a permanent injunction to prevent enforcement of the subpoenas by the committee.

Three Fulton County Superior Court judges have recused themselves from the case. Judges Craig Schwall, Sr. and Melynee Leftridge recused themselves last week, citing unspecified conflicts of interest. On Monday, Judge Scott McAfee also recused himself, noting his involvement in overseeing the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others.

McAfee, in his recusal order, wrote that given the overlap with the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, his impartiality "might reasonably be questioned." He directed the Fulton County Clerk of Court to randomly assign the matter to another judge.

As of Tuesday, it remained unclear whether a new judge would be assigned in time to hear the case before Friday’s Senate hearing. It was also uncertain whether Willis would comply with the subpoenas if an injunction was not issued.

After days of the establishment denying a migrant crisis in Springfield exists, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announces he is sending $2.5M and state troopers to Springfield to tackle the crisis.

This response follows a huge amount of social media attention on the town, with video evidence and residents testifying Haitians are stealing and eating pets, wild geese and ducks and sacrificing pigs in the park.

“These dramatic surges impact every citizen of the community, every citizen,” DeWine said, noting additional influxes are occurring in Findlay and Lima, Ohio.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of social media, especially ahead of an election.

This is why they want to shut it down!

@RealRogerStone

While working for CNN in 2016, Donna Brazile gave Hillary Clinton the questions for her debate with @realDonaldTrump in advance.

Trump crushed Hillary in the debate nonetheless.

Now, Donna Brazile works for ABC...

Did history repeat itself?

KAMALIES: 25 Lies Kamala Harris Told During The Debate [READ NOW]

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.11.24

Despite being fact-checked a total of zero times by ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, the folks over at The Federalist found twenty-five lies and misleading statements Kamala Harris dropped during her debate with former President Donald Trump.

She lied about everything from her upbringing to Trump’s abortion stance.

From The Federalist:

1. ‘Middle-Class Kid’

Harris claimed that she grew up a “middle-class kid.” That is not true. As previously noted by journalist Megyn Kelly, Harris’ father was a professor at Stanford University, while her mother was a biomedical scientist at UC Berkley.

2. Trump’s Tax Cuts

Harris falsely insinuated that the 2017 tax cuts approved by the Trump administration disproportionately benefited America’s billionaires and corporations.

That is not true. Data produced by the IRS has shown that “on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent,” according to Justin Haskins, writing in The Hill.

3. Trump ‘Sales Tax’

Harris claimed Trump will implement a “sales tax.” Trump has not pledged to do such a thing if elected president.

4. Jan. 6

Harris contended that the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

Contrary to Harris’ claim, the J6 events did not put American self-governance in jeopardy, nor did it expose Americans to risks like those experienced during World War I, the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor, or World War II, to name a few.

5. Project 2025

Harris claimed Trump will implement Project 2025 if elected. Trump has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with Project 2025.

6. Just Restoring Roe

When asked whether she supports any restrictions on abortion, Harris dodged the question, instead claiming that she “absolutely support[s] reinstating the protections of Roe v Wade.”

Moments before that, however, Harris pledged to sign legislation such as the ill-named “Women’s Health Protection Act,” which would codify abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. In addition to her history of co-sponsoring the original version of that legislation, Harris also voted against protections for babies born alive after botched abortions.

7. Pro-Life Laws Criminalize Miscarriages, Ectopic Pregnancies

Harris claimed that several states have “Trump abortion bans” that “make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide health care,” threaten women with prison time, and “make no exception, even for rape or incest.”

The lifesaving laws designed to protect thousands of innocents every year from elective abortions, however, do not criminalize treatments for spontaneous loss or complications. In fact, every single pro-life policy on the books includes exceptions for abortion when it is deemed necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.

8. Trump’s Abortion Stance

Trump, Harris told Americans on Tuesday night, will sign a national abortion ban and hire a national “abortion … monitor that would be monitoring your pregnancies, your miscarriages” if he is elected.

The Republican’s 2024 abortion platform, however, explicitly states decisions about ending life in the womb should be left “up to the states” and mentions nothing about crowning a national pro-life coordinator. The GOP presidential nominee has also sworn multiple times that he would not sign federal legislation curbing abortion.

Kim Jong Un Vows To Exponentially Boost Nuclear Arsenal In Response To US Escalation

While on Tuesday VP Harris, the State-run media and former president Trump were squaring off in a debate which only touched on bad foreign policy a couple of times, only briefly related to Ukraine and Gaza, North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un issued statements vowing to exponentially boost the nation's nuclear arsenal.

Kim gave a speech marking the 76th founding anniversary of his government at the start of this week. He said that a nuclear overhaul is needed to defend the country from "hostile" forces and that North Korea faces a grave threat as a result of the reckless expansion the United States-led military bloc in the region.

North Korea will "redouble its measures and efforts to make all the armed forces of the state, including the nuclear force, fully ready for combat," he sated.

In particular Kim was reacting to a new US-South Korean defense agreement signed in July. The new agreement allows for the integration of US nuclear weapons and South Korean conventional weapons to defend the peninsula from the nuclear-armed north if need be.

Regional analysts have pointed out that these warnings of 'exponential' increases in nukes began in 2022. Yang Uk, a research fellow at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, has been cited in international reports as saying, "From the end of the following year, they started to mention 'exponential increases'," - he said in reference to the 8th Party Congress held in 2021.

"We believe that by 2027 North Korea can secure enough nuclear material for about 200 warheads and by 2030, this can reach 300," Yang added.

NYPD boss resigns as Dem mayor's inner circle faces possible corruption probe

New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban had been pressured to resign for days

By Michael Ruiz , Alexis McAdams Fox News

Published September 12, 2024 12:10pm EDT | Updated September 12, 2024 12:17pm EDT

https://www.foxnews.com/us/nypd-boss-resigns-dem-mayors-inner-circle-faces-possible-corruption-probe

New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned days after federal agents raided his home, his brother's and other city officials and seized their electronic devices.

Sources told Fox News Digital that Caban's twin brother, James, was also under investigation in connection with his nightlife consulting business.

Rumors of a pending resignation have swirled for days in connection with the probe.

Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams told reporters little Tuesday in response to repeated questions about Caban's fitness for the job or whether he should resign, but said he had full confidence in the NYPD as a whole.

NYPD COMMISSIONER'S BROTHER IS EX-COP BRING PROBED AS ALLEGED ‘FIXER’ FOR NYC CLUBS: REPORT

"What's important to me, and the reason I keep saying NYPD, because Commissioner Caban is part of a team there, and an entire team has to function," he said. "One person does not determine the success of the New York City Police Department."

The New York Post reported Wednesday that one of Caban's top aides has suspected ties to the Chinese Communist Party and worked for a group that spreads Chinese propaganda in the United States. It's the latest in a string of China-linked officials in New York politics.

HOUSE GOP PRESSES HOCHUL ON ALLEGED CCP AGENT'S INFLUENCE IN NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECRET CHINESE POLICE STATION

Last month, prosecutors secured an indictment for Linda Sun, a former top aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul who is accused of being a Communist agent, visa fraud, alien smuggling and money laundering.

Winnie Greco, another Adams aide, was also raided in connection with a campaign fundraising investigation.

Adams appointed Caban as the NYPD's first Hispanic commissioner last July.

Last year, federal agents seized Adams' devices as he was leaving an event in Manhattan and raided the home of one of his top fundraisers. Adams has denied any wrongdoing, but confirmed last month he had received a subpoena from federal prosecutors and said he and his team are cooperating.

Fox News' Landon Mion and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

AST SpaceMobile deploys first production direct-to-smartphone satellites

September 12, 2024

SpaceX launched the first five production satellites for AST SpaceMobile’s direct-to-smartphone broadband constellation Sept. 11.

A Falcon 9 carrying the Block 1 BlueBird spacecraft lifted off 4:52 a.m. Eastern from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, and finished releasing all five satellites into low Earth orbit about 68 minutes later.

AST SpaceMobile founder, chair and CEO Abel Avellan said the operator established full contact with all five spacecraft post-launch.

Five satellites would only be able to provide intermittent connectivity totaling less than an hour a day in the United States, AST SpaceMobile president and chief strategy officer Scott Wisniewski told SpaceNews in an interview, where the company plans initial services for mobile network partners seeking to extend their coverage beyond the reach of cell towers.

Still, Wisniewski said intermittent services would be useful for remote monitoring devices, emergency backups and beta tests with customers interested in full text, voice and data broadband services from space.

U.S. telcos AT&T and Verizon have invested in the Texas-based venture and plan to provide the wireless frequencies the constellation needs to reach standard smartphones already in circulation in the United States.

AST SpaceMobile also announced a revenue-generating government contract early this year using BlueWalker-3, AST SpaceMobile’s prototype satellite that SpaceX launched two years ago.

Wisniewski said two more government contracts are currently being contemplated.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission gave AST SpaceMobile conditional approval last month to operate its first five BlueBirds, but stopped short of allowing them to test services with wireless frequencies from AT&T and Verizon.

AST SpaceMobile also requires permission to provide commercial direct-to-smartphone services.

Wisniewski said the venture needs to resubmit regulatory filings to the FCC about its commercial service, and plans to avoid interfering with other networks, after Verizon joined AT&T as a partner and investor in the company.

He said AST SpaceMobile is in no rush to seek permission to test wireless frequencies from its recently launched BlueBirds as it completes in-orbit health checks and tests other systems on the satellites.

“When we want to start testing the wireless frequencies, which will be within the next three months, we’ll have either the commercial approval or we’ll file for a temporary” test license.

The FCC has many space applications to work through and tends to prioritize those approaching service, he said, adding that AST SpaceMobile has licenses to test wireless frequencies from the five BlueBirds in other countries it plans to deploy services.

The company has also successfully tested cellular frequencies from space with BlueWalker-3, which is roughly the same size as a Block 1 BlueBird with a solar array spanning 64 square meters — the largest commercial antenna deployed to LEO.

According to AST SpaceMobile, BlueWalker-3 has achieved more than 21 megabits per second (Mbps) download speeds during tests with standard smartphones.

In May, AST SpaceMobile moved the licensing administration for its constellation from Papua New Guinea to the United States after shifting its initial commercial focus to the country.

“We wouldn’t have done that if we didn’t feel good about approvals in the U.S.,” Wisniewski said.

Around 45-60 satellites would be enough to provide continuous services in the United States, at which point AT&T plans to roll out the capability to mobile customers.

“While testing will continue with each launch, we will only provide services to mobile customers when the full array is complete,” AT&T head of network Chris Sambar said via email.

“It is too early to give a specific date on when this service will become available,” he added, “but the Sept. 12 satellite launch is a major milestone toward making this vision a reality.”

Verizon did not reply to a request for comment.

New record! 19 people are orbiting Earth right now

September 11, 2024

Earth orbit is busier right now than it's ever been.

Three people launched toward the International Space Station (ISS) today (Sept. 11) aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, pushing the total number of people in Earth orbit to a new high-water mark.

"With the trio now in orbit, there is a record of 19 people currently in orbit," NASA commentator Anna Schneider said during the agency's webcast of the Soyuz liftoff. The old record was 17, set last year.

The Soyuz that launched today is carrying NASA's Don Pettit and cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner.

The trio is expected to arrive at the ISS around 3:30 p.m. EDT (1930 GMT), just three hours after launch.

They'll join nine people aboard the orbiting lab: NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Tracy Caldwell-Dyson, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Barry Wilmore and Suni Williams, and cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin and Oleg Kononenko.

Wilmore and Williams were supposed to be home already; they launched this past June on Crew Flight Test (CFT), the first-ever crewed mission of Boeing's Starliner capsule.

CFT was supposed to last just 10 days or so, but Starliner suffered thruster problems in orbit, and NASA kept the capsule docked to the ISS for three months while studying the issue.

Ultimately, the agency decided to return Starliner to Earth uncrewed — which happened over the weekend — and bring Williams and Wilmore home on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule next February.

There are also three people living aboard China's Tiangong space station at the moment — Li Cong, Li Guangsu and Ye Guangfu of the nation's Shenzhou 18 mission — and four astronauts inhabiting a free-flying Crew Dragon.

That quartet — Jared Isaacman, Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon —launched Tuesday (Sept. 10) on the five-day Polaris Dawn mission.

Their Crew Dragon, named Resilience, has already gotten farther from Earth than any crewed vehicle since the Apollo era, and Polaris Dawn aims to make more history soon: Isaacman and Gillis plan to conduct the first-ever private spacewalk at around 2:20 a.m. EDT (0620 GMT) on Thursday (Sept. 12).

The record for most people in space overall is 20, set in May 2023 and then tied on Jan. 26 of this year.

On both occasions, 14 orbiting spaceflyers were joined briefly in the final frontier by six space tourists who reached the suborbital realm aboard Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity space plane.

VSS Unity gets more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) above Earth, which NASA and the U.S. military regard as the beginning of outer space.

But the vehicle doesn't reach the 62-mile-high (100 km) Kármán line, which some other people and organizations recognize as space's boundary.

For Kármán line devotees, the "most people in space" record is 19, set during the NS-19 flight of Blue Origin's suborbital New Shepard vehicle on Dec. 11, 2021 — and tied today with the Soyuz launch.

Texas City Shuts Down Hotel Occupied By Venezuelan Gang After 693 Police Calls

by Tyler Durden

Thursday, Sep 12, 2024 - 08:45 AM

Authored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/texas-city-shuts-down-hotel-occupied-venezuelan-gang-after-693-police-calls

Texas authorities say they are shutting down a crime-ridden hotel housing Tren de Aragua gang members and investigating the gang’s criminal involvement in other cities.

El Paso County Attorney Christina Sanchez filed a lawsuit on Aug. 27 to close the Gateway Hotel on Stanton St. in downtown El Paso, Texas, for multiple code violations, noting 693 police and service calls to the location over the past two years.

The lawsuit names as defendants the Gateway Hotel; Gigante Enterprises LLC, which owns the business; and hotel owner Howard Yun.

Tren de Aragua gang members have occupied the Gateway Hotel since at least June, according to court documents obtained by The Epoch Times.

Elhiu Dominguez, special projects coordinator with El Paso County, told The Epoch Times that a judge granted an order to close the hotel by Sept. 12.

The temporary injunction signed by District Judge Maria Salas-Mendoza will shut down the hotel pending a Dec. 9 hearing on a permanent injunction. Residents will have until 10 a.m. on Sept. 12 to vacate the hotel.

Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang with an estimated 5,000 members, is feared in Latin America and has been connected to murder, drugs, and human trafficking.

Their members are believed to be taking advantage of the border crisis chaos, illegally slipping across the U.S. southern border.

“Watch out for this gang. It is the most powerful in Venezuela, known for murder, drug trafficking, sex crimes, extortion, & other violent acts,” Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, in April as a warning about the gang.

President Joe Biden designated Tren de Aragua as a transnational criminal organization in July at the urging of Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

“Over the last year, the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua has managed to move their operations north by taking advantage of our porous southern border,” Salazar said.

“My constituents in Miami, many of them Venezuelans themselves, should not have to endure living amongst the same kinds of criminals that forced them to leave their home country.”

In El Paso, “deplorable” conditions exist inside the once-condemned hotel, which has been the location of at least 10 aggravated assaults, 13 instances of assaultive conduct/fights, 11 drug delivery or possession charges, 20 disorderly conduct incidents, and at least one indecency with a child call, according to court documents.

Security videos at the Gateway Hotel show an aggravated assault and “men holding knives and another man with a hatchet assaulting people and causing damage to the hotel in front of a security guard,” court documents state.

In an affidavit included in the court documents, El Paso Police Officer Samuel Medina said he suspects prostitution is taking place at the hotel and said the “continuous incidents of criminal activity” have increased “with the introduction of the Tren de Aragua organization into the hotel.”

During a “hotel check” in July, a police officer noted that there were “people behind the front desk without hotel insignia or uniform looking at paperwork,” and an officer identified Tren de Aragua members at the hotel, according to court documents.

In August, police were called to the hotel with reports of loud noise and drinking. They reported that one person living on the third floor had a tattoo associated with the Venezuelan gang.

The hotel received a conditional certificate of occupancy for the first floor in 2018, but the court documents state that a new certificate was never issued.

The Epoch Times was unable to reach Yun for comment.

El Paso isn’t the only Texas city dealing with the Venezuelan gang.

Dallas Police spokeswoman Jennifer Pryor told The Epoch Times in a Sept. 10 email that gang activity in north Dallas has been linked to Tren de Aragua.

“Our department is collaborating with other agencies to address possible crimes linked to this and other gangs in our city. We are dedicated to preventing criminal activity in our community and ensuring the safety of our residents,” she wrote.

The bubbling surface of a distant star was captured on video for the 1st time ever

September 12, 2024

Astronomers have gotten the first-ever detailed views of turbulent activity in a star other than our own sun.

A time-lapse video released Wednesday (Sept. 11) shows enormous gas bubbles roiling on a nearby star called R Doradus, a red giant about 300 times bigger than our sun that lies roughly 180 light-years away, in the southern constellation Dorado.

Like a boiling soup on a stovetop, the star's scorching material erupts on its surface in bubbles, which astronomers estimate swell to a whopping 75 times our sun's size.

"It is spectacular that we can now directly image the details on the surface of stars so far away," Behzad Bojnodi Arbab, a doctoral student at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and a co-author of a new study about the observations, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, said in a statement.

Thanks to the latest images, astronomers can now "observe physics that until now was mostly only observable in our sun," Arbab added.

The video is pieced together from the best-ever images of the star's chaotic surface, which were captured by a network of radio telescopes in Chile called the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA for short.

The images show the plasma bubbles, which are driven by heat rising from the star's core, crashing on its surface so violently that they appear to slightly deform the star.

"We had never expected the data to be of such high quality that we could see so many details of the convection on the stellar surface," study lead author Wouter Vlemmings, a professor at Chalmers University of Technology, said in the statement.

From the latest snapshots of R Doradus, which ALMA captured from early July to August of last year, Vlemmings and his colleagues estimate the star's plasma bubbles rise and fall on a one-month cycle, which is faster than the timeline followed by similar convective cells abundant on our sun's surface.

"We don't yet know what is the reason for the difference," said Vlemmings.

Though R Doradus is incredibly bloated, its mass is similar to that of our sun.

So study team members suspect the star reflects how our sun will look in about five billion years, when it will enter its red giant phase by ballooning up to the point of swallowing Mercury and Venus.

"It seems that convection changes as a star gets older in ways that we don't yet understand," said Vlemmings.

Previous ALMA observations showed that R Doradus is spinning at least two orders of magnitude faster than expected for a red giant.

In the new study, Vlemmings and his team ruled out the possibility that the high spin is an illusion created by the star's boiling surface, a hypothesis that was recently put forth by a different team of astronomers studying Betelgeuse, another red giant in the constellation Orion known to spin 100 times faster than expected.

Vlemmings and his colleagues argue that R Doradus' rotation rate is much longer than the one-month cycle they found its convective bubbles to operate in, thus ruling out the odds of telescopes being tricked by such a chance alignment of gas bubbles.

FAA defends Starship licensing delays

September 12, 2024

A day after harsh criticism from Congress and industry, the Federal Aviation Administration defended its approach to launch licensing and, specifically, its work with SpaceX.

At the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Aerospace Summit Sept. 11, the FAA said it has a good relationship with SpaceX but that timelines for launch licenses depend on choices the company makes.

“We work very well with SpaceX. We have a very strong dialogue with them,” said Dan Murray, executive director of operational safety at the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation.

“They get the majority of our resources because they’re doing the majority of the operations.”

That included, he noted, 80% of the “hundreds” of hours of overtime his office records each month.

“We are doing everything we can to work with them as efficiently as we can.”

The comments came a day after a hearing by the House space subcommittee where members and industry official criticized the FAA’s implementation of a new set of launch licensing regulations known as Part 450.

That coincided with a statement by SpaceX that said it recently learned the FAA had delayed an updated license for its next Starship launch by more than two months, to late November, for what it called a “superfluous environmental analysis.”

“We have a great dialogue with them. We prefer to have our dialogue directly with them,” Murray said when asked at the conference about the SpaceX public statement about the launch licensing delays.

He said the schedule for the next Starship launch, known as Flight 5, “is largely set by the choices that the company makes,” which he added is true for all companies that seek launch licenses.

Those choices include the scope of the license they seek, the timing of the information they provide, the completeness of the application and if the applicant changes information after submitting the application.

The schedule that the FAA provides for assessing a license is based on assumptions that the application is complete and doesn’t change, he said.

The FAA, in a separate statement Sept. 11, noted that the license the FAA issued for Starship’s previous launch in June allowed for multiple flights using the same profile, but SpaceX modified the profile for the next launch and also provided information only in mid-August about “how the environmental impact of Flight 5 will cover a larger area than previously reviewed,” requiring consultation with other agencies.

“The driver on the current schedule is the environmental review, in this case. The safety review is not done yet, either, but it’s on a shorter schedule,” Murray said.

He confirmed the issues in that review outlined in SpaceX’s Sept. 10 statement, including wastewater discharge from the pad’s water deluge system, sonic booms from the Super Heavy booster’s return to the launch pad and changes in the splashdown location of the interstage section.

He said his office has worked well with SpaceX on other regulatory issues.

He cited examples like allowing them to return to flight quickly after incidents that included an upper stage failure in July and unsuccessful landing in August.

The FAA also worked with the company for waivers to increase launch availability.

Murray appeared on a panel with executives of two other launch companies who said they have good relationships with the office.

“We have a longstanding positive relationship with the FAA’s space transportation office,” said Brett Alexander, chief revenue officer at Firefly Aerospace.

“No major concerns about the regulation itself or how it’s being implemented.”

“It’s been a very productive and constructive relationship and dialogue,” said Lars Hoffman, vice president of government sales at Blue Origin, on the work with FAA on getting a launch license for the company’s New Glenn rocket.

The FAA’s Murray said that the agency encourages companies that have gone through the Part 450 licensing process to share lessons learned with each other.

A new aerospace rulemaking committee will also allow industry to provide input on how to improve the licensing process.

“It does not require substantial changes,” he said of the Part 450 rules. “It’s not a perfect rule.

No rules are perfect. We’re very open to input that the industry has. That said, it’s not broken, either.”

Here we go. They are going to steal the election again.

The Biden-Harris DHS designated the January 6, 2025, electoral vote tallying a “National Special Security Event” to criminalize election protests.

“The designation empowers the Secret Service to lead security planning and provide extensive resources to state and local authorities assisting with its implementation. It will mean unprecedented levels of security when Congress certifies the results of the presidential election.” Politico reported.

“National Special Security Events are events of the highest national significance,” Eric Ranaghan, special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Dignitary Protective Division, said in a statement. “The U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event and its participants.”

The moderators of the presidential debate hosted by ABC News have been criticized for not asking Donald Trump about the failed attempt on his life.

David Muir and Linsey Davis quickly moved on after the Republican candidate for president mentioned being shot at one of his rallies in Pennsylvania during Tuesday's debate.

Neither the moderators nor VP Kamala Harris acknowledged the shooting even after Trump brought it up himself when questioned about the January 6 riots at the Capitol.

Trump said he 'probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that [Democrats] say about me.'

He added: 'They talk about democracy. I’m a threat to democracy. They’re the threat to democracy.'

Muir interrupted the president as he spoke about the attempt on his life, saying 'we have a lot to get to,' before moving on to another topic.

Trump made the comments after Muir asked him whether he regretted anything he said in the run-up to the riots.

In an essay for The Federalist, editorial director Kylee Griswold slams the moderators for inquiring about January 6 while failing to ask VP Kamala Harris whether the Democrats' rhetoric could have lead to the attempt on Trump's life.

Griswold wrote: 'Imagine refusing to ask the current vice president whether she regrets any of her hateful anti-Trump rhetoric and the Biden administration’s weaponization of the federal government against Trump that may have inspired an armed nutbag to fire at his head.'

Many social media users have also highlighted the moderators' failure to discuss the topic.

One X user said: 'One of my favorite parts of the debate was Harris straight up not acknowledging the assassination attempt on Trump even though he brought it up clearly hoping that he could get into an exchange with her about it.'

Another added: 'One of the funniest moments is the debate is when Trump wanted to talk about the assassination attempt and the moderators just muted him.'

On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals tossed out 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s appeal of the gag order in place in the falsified business records case brought forth by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The court wrote in a brief order that "no substantial constitutional question is directly involved," and the former president’s appeal was dismissed, according to The Hill.

The order has remained partially in effect after Trump’s May conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business expenses, with Trump allowed to make statements about witnesses and jurors, but barred from making statements about prosecutors involved in the case or their families. Trump is allowed to make statements about Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan.

Trump’s sentencing in the case has been postponed until November 26. It was scheduled to take place on September 18.

Trump argued that the gag order had violated the First Amendment rights of himself as well as his supporters, noting his status as a 2024 presidential candidate. He asked the high court to hear his case after it was rejected in lower courts.

The state’s top court previously declined to hear Trump’s appeal of the full gag order, writing at the time that "no substantial constitutional question is directly involved" with the gag order in place. His latest appeal regarded the partial gag order left in place.

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on new charges by a Manhattan grand jury ahead of his highly anticipated second sex crimes trial in the city, prosecutors said Thursday.

“The Grand Jury has indicted Mr. Weinstein,” said Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg in a morning court hearing.

“We have not unsealed the actual indictment so we won’t speak about the specifics.”

The new indictment will add charges to Weinstein’s pending sex crimes trial – a proceeding that follows his original conviction and 23-year sentence being overturned in April.

Weinstein’s attorney, Arthur Aidala, said outside at a press conference that he believes the new indictment will have three new accusers bringing forth sex crimes against the ex Miramax honcho, who was not in court due to a recent health scare.

The new complaints, according to the attorney, happened during a five-month period in the winter of 2005 to 2006; a separate matter in April or May of 2006; and another complaint in 2016. But specifics details aren’t yet known.

“I don’t anticipate them being misdemeanors. I anticipate them being serious felonies,” Aidala said.

Weinstein remains hospitalized at Bellevue Hospital where he underwent emergency open-heart surgery after experiencing chest pains and being rushed out of Rikers Island earlier this week.

Space travel: Protection from cosmic radiation with boron nitride nanotube fibers

September 11, 2024

With the success of the Nuri launch last year and the recent launch of the newly established Korea Aerospace Administration, interest in space has increased, and both the public and private sectors are actively investing in space-related industries such as space travel. However, exposure to cosmic radiation is unavoidable when traveling to space.

A research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim from the Center for Functional Composite Materials at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new composite fiber that can effectively block neutrons in space radiation.

The work is published in the journal Advanced Fiber Materials.

Neutrons in space radiation negatively affect life activities and cause electronic devices to malfunction, posing a major threat to long-term space missions.

By controlling the interaction between one-dimensional nanomaterials, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), and aramid polymers, the team developed a technique to perfectly blend the two difficult-to-mix materials. Based on this stabilized mixed solution, they produced lightweight, flexible, continuous fibers that do not burn at temperatures up to 500°C.

BNNTs have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but because they contain a large number of boron in the lattice structure, their neutron absorption capacity is about 200,000 times higher than that of CNTs.

Therefore, if the developed BNNT composite fibers are made into fabrics of the desired shape and size, they can be applied as a good material that can effectively block radiation neutron transmission.

This means that BNNT composite fibers can be applied to the clothing we wear every day, effectively protecting flight crews, health care workers, power plant workers, and others who may be easily exposed to radiation.

In addition, the ceramic nature of BNNTs makes them highly heat-resistant, so they can be used in extreme environments.

Therefore, it can be used not only for space applications but also for defense and firefighting.

"By applying the functional textiles we have developed to the clothing we wear every day, we can easily create a minimum safety device for neutron exposure," said Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim of KIST.

"As Korea is developing very rapidly in the space and defense fields, we believe it will have great synergy."

Putin Puts West On Notice: Long-Range Arms For Ukraine Will Mean 'NATO At War With Russia'

Putin says not so fast... First, here's a UK Times report within the last hour:

Britain and the United States are on the verge of allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia after accusing President Putin of “escalating” the conflict by accepting ballistic missiles from Iran.

David Lammy, the foreign secretary, and Anthony Blinken, the US secretary of state, said they would return to their respective countries to inform their leaders of the “operational details” surrounding Ukraine’s use of weapons such as Storm Shadow missiles after meeting President Zelensky in Kyiv.

Blinken promised to work quickly on Ukraine’s requests to ease the restrictions, saying he would take what he had learnt “back to President Biden.” —Putin escalating conflict, say western allies as missile approval moves closer

President Putin is currently speaking at the St. Petersburg International United Cultures Forum, which addresses current events related to Russia. He issued the following red line while speaking to a reporter on the sidelines of the conference Thursday:

Putin says long-range arms for Kyiv would mean 'NATO countries at war with Russia'

Below is the breaking AFP note:

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the West giving Kyiv a green-light to use longer-range weapons to strike Russian targets would mean NATO will be "at war" with Russia.

"This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict... It would mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia," Putin told a state television reporter.

Just prior to this warning, Russian Senator Aleksey Pushkov wrote on Telegram in response to the UK prepping more, longer-range Storm Shadow missiles for Ukraine, "The decision to strike Russian territory is clearly being prepared."

Bill and Hillary Share Romantic Moment In Haiti

Oct 23, 2012 — The couple left a little room for romance, reminiscing about the last time they were in the country together for their honeymoon more than 37 years ago.

President Clinton, jokingly thanked the secretary for inviting him to the event, an opening of an industrial park with new businesses in Northern Haiti.

"Some of you know we came here on a delayed honeymoon 37 years ago in December," said the former president. "You know she's been here a lot and I started coming here before the earthquake. I've been here so much I'm sure I owe taxes to the Haitian government I have not paid. But in all those 37 years this is the first time we have been back together," he joked.

Archaeologists unlock 3,000-year-old secrets about creation of universe and monsters after deciphering oldest known map of the world

Updated: 16:58 EDT, 11 September 2024

Researchers have finally decoded a Babylonian tablet thought to be the oldest map of the world.

Created between 2,600 and 2,900 years ago, the Imago Mundi provided researchers with a unique glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the ancient civilization.

The Babylonian tablet has a circular map with pieces of text written in cuneiform - an ancient writing system that used wedge-shaped symbols - which describes the early creation of the world.

The map depicted Mesopotamia - or the land 'between the rivers' - a historical area of the Middle East that was thought to be the entire 'known world' at the time.

The tablet's map also confirmed their belief in the mighty God of Creation, Marduk, and mythical creatures and monsters like scorpion-man and Anzu - the lion-headed bird.

The Imago Mundi was made during a time when the Babylonian Empire was a global leader in architecture, culture, math and early scientific achievements.

They were known for creating an advanced number system for mathematics and was the first to create a functional theory of the planets, including using geometry to track Jupiter.

The map was originally discovered in 1882 by renowned archaeologist Hormuzd Rassam in Sippar, an ancient Babylonian city in present-day Iraq.

Although Rassam discovered the tablet nearly 150 years ago, the Imago Mundi remained in a box of his excavation findings until it was rediscovered in Iraq 29 years ago.

It is currently being held at the British Museum in London.

Since the tablet was acquired, researchers at the British Museum said they have been able to glean insight into the Neo-Babylonian Empire's belief in mystical creatures and its dominance over the region.

At the bottom center of the map sits Mesopotamia, but what's particularly unique is the two circles that enclose the city.

'The double ring is very important because it has cuneiform writing in it which says 'bitter river' and this water was deemed to surround the known world,' British Museum expert Dr Irving Finkel said in a YouTube video.

Researchers confirmed the circle on the tablet that surrounded Mesopotamia supported the Babylonians belief that the region was the center of the world, although they did understand that Mesopotamia was part of a larger region of land.

There was an additional river - the Euphrates - that cut through ancient Mesopotamia from North to South, connecting the Bitter River on the tablet.

'This is a very important ring of water,' Finkel said, 'because it meant for the Babylonians, they had an idea of the limits of the world where they lived in about the sixth century.'

Within the map are cuneiform inscriptions that state the name of the city or the tribe who lived there, including Assyria, Der and Urartu.

'So you have, encapsulated in this circular diagram, the whole of the known world in which people lived, flourished and died,' Finkel said.

Buffett's Vice Chairman Dumps Over Half Of His Berkshire Shares

One of Buffett's top lieutenant, and Berkshire’s vice chair of insurance operations, Ajit Jain, has sold $139 million worth of his Class A shares - more than half of his holdings - in Warren Buffett’s conglomerate.

Jain disposed of 200 of the Class A Berkshire shares for about $695,418 each, according to a regulatory filing Wednesday. The disposal means the long-term executive is left with control of 166 such shares, 61 of which he directly owns.

Google Trial 2.0: Exec Boasted of Goal to ‘Crush’ Digital Ad Rivals

A Google executive’s remarks from 2009 about the company’s aim to “crush” competitors in the digital advertising market have come to light during an ongoing federal antitrust trial against the tech giant that focuses on its stranglehold over the ad-tech industry.

The New York Post reports that during the third day of the non-jury federal antitrust trial targeting Google, the Justice Department presented evidence revealing a former Google executive’s bold statements about the company’s strategy in the digital advertising market. The trial alleges that Google abused its control over digital market technology to siphon revenue from publishers and advertisers.

According to documents reviewed in court, David Rosenblatt, Google’s former president of display advertising, told co-workers in 2009 that the company’s goal for its growing online advertising business was to “crush” rivals in the digital ad market. “We’ll be able to crush the other networks and that’s our goal,” Rosenblatt said.

The Justice Department argues that Google operates a “trifecta of monopolies” through its control of tools on both the buy and sell side of digital ad deals, as well as the marketplace that connects businesses to advertisers. The complaint alleges that Google drains more than a third of every dollar spent through its ad platforms.

Rosenblatt, who joined Google after its acquisition of digital ad software firm DoubleClick in 2007, reportedly bragged about the advantage provided by the company’s control of tools on all sides of the ad ecosystem. In the notes discussed at trial, he wrote, “We’re both Goldman and NYSE. … Google has created what’s comparable to the NYSE or London Stock Exchange; in other words, we’ll do to display what Google did to search.”

The former Google executive also admitted that it was a “nightmare” for publishers to try to switch to other ad platforms, stating that it “takes an act of God to do it.” Former Google executive Brad Bender, who testified on the witness stand, said he had forwarded Rosenblatt’s notes to his team at the time, describing them as a “worthwhile read.”

Another UFO Boss to Break Silence in Major Book Deal: “The Process of Disclosure Has Begun”

September 10, 2024 6:33am

Another high-ranking government official who investigated UFOs/UAPs is ready to tell their story.

Jay Stratton, the former director of the U.S. government’s secretive Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, has struck a memoir deal with HarperCollins.

Stratton represents the most senior former U.S government official yet to go public about their direct involvement in the investigation of UAP and non-human intelligence.

For over 16 years, Stratton worked as a senior intelligence official, leading countless U.S. government investigations of UAP and non-human intelligence, including the “Tic Tac” UAP encountered by Navy fighter pilots and the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004.

While much of Stratton’s work is classified, the memoir promises to reveal “all that can be lawfully disclosed, providing a first-hand account of the shocking discoveries, challenges and breakthroughs that have marked the U.S. government’s investigation and understanding of UAP and non-human intelligence, as well as the effects on Stratton and his family.”

In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Stratton said, “We are at the beginning of a new chapter for humanity. The process of disclosure is complex but it has begun.”

The book was developed with producer Dan Farah of Farah Films (Ready Player One, The Phenomenon), who also has TV and film rights.

Recently, Farah was also behind another memoir, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs by Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former senior intelligence official.

That title shot to No. 1 on the best-seller list after its release last month.

According to the Stratton’s bio: “It was while serving as the Chief of Air & Space Warfare at the DIA that Stratton and his colleagues learned about the existence of UAP and the related national security concerns.

In response, they created the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP), the first official U.S. government program to investigate UAP since the closure of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book in 1969.

AAWSAP was sponsored by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and grew into AATIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. … Amongst Stratton’s hand-picked team members was whistleblower David Grusch, who testified under oath to Congress last year about technological and biological evidence of non-human intelligence.

The Secretary of Defense announced the UAP Task Force in 2020, naming Stratton the program’s Director.”

Last year, the U.S. Senate introduced the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Rounds (R-SD), Sen. Rubio (R-Fl) and Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY).

The act proposes laws that would bring about public disclosure on what the U.S. government knows about UAP and non-human intelligence.

Schumer said at the time, “The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence and unexplainable phenomena.”
