The chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council Mykola Lukashuk warned: 'The Russian occupation troops are trying to plunge us into darkness and cold.'
Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said his city was festooned in Christmas decorations for the first time since 2022.
'The outgoing year was extremely difficult for Kharkiv and all of us,' he said.'The enemy terrorises the city every day, but the spirit of Kharkiv - our spirit - cannot be broken!
'Together we overcome difficulties, heal the city's wounds and try to normalise our lives in the conditions of war. I believe that next year a just peace will come to Ukraine.
And with it - restoration, in which each of us plays an important role.'
Ukrainian energy supplier Ukrenergo said today: 'Due to a large-scale missile attack, measures have been taken to limit consumption.
'The schedule of power outages in your region can be found on the website and official pages of your regional power company.'
After a Ukrainian strike on Russian city Kazan on 21 December, Putin had said: 'Whoever tries to destroy something in our country, no matter how hard they try, will face much greater destruction at home for it, and will regret ever attempting to do anything in our country.'
In missile strikes on Kryvyi Rih on Christmas Eve, one died and 17 were injured.
Russian anti-Putin resistance movement ATESH said today: 'The occupiers are trying to ban Ukrainians from celebrating Christmas
'Our agents in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories report that the occupiers have increased control over people who celebrate Christmas on December 24 and 25 according to the New Julian calendar.
'At the enterprises, collaborators pass on lists of such people to the FSB, considering them 'potential saboteurs'.
'The occupiers consider the celebration of Christmas on these dates as a manifestation of Ukrainian identity and seek to suppress any cultural traditions associated with the Ukrainian church and people.
'However, attempts to eradicate Ukrainian culture are doomed to failure.'

Dems warm to conservative media after rough 2024==1/2
Democrats warm to Fox News and other conservative media
The once-fringe idea of Democrats appearing on conservative-leaning media is suddenly going mainstream in the wake of the party's 2024 election losses.
Why it matters:Nearly a dozen House Democrats tell Axios that party members need to increase their appearances on conservative-leaning and non-traditional platforms, or risk irrelevance.
• They say they no longer can look past the huge audiences offered by Fox News and conservative podcasts, whose messaging power became evident when Republicans swept the White House and both chambers of Congress in last month's election.
• "If half the country is watching and we gotta win 50% plus one, how can you reach anybody when you're not talking where they go?" Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) told Axios.
Driving the news:Most Democrats still prefer to stick to friendly outlets such as MSNBC or the more neutral CNN, where they can typically avoid confrontations and adversarial interviews.
• "I think one of the lessons learned from the 2024 election isthat we have all but ceded alternative media to the conservativemovement," said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.).
•"If we have confidence in our message, we should be prepared to take our message to every corner of the ecosystem— including in politically hostile environments."
Zoom in:Some Democrats — inside and outside of Congress — have expressed post-election jealousy over how President-elect Trump used a hyper-focused media strategyto connect with specific voter demographics, particularly young men, by appearing on podcasts and YouTube shows with massive followings.
• Democrats say many of their own campaigns — from Vice President Harris' on down —focused too much on friendly outlets with declining audiences that already agreed with them.
Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine)— who was re-elected in a district where Trump defeated Harris by nearly 10 percentage points — outlined a more local approach to this strategy.
• Golden told Axios that he goes on local conservative radio shows in Maine: "You've got to contest every corner ... Otherwise all they hear is what's said about you by the other side."...

Zoom out:Adversarial media appearances by Democrats were rare during Trump's first presidencyuntil several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates — including Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg — appeared in Fox News town halls.
• As transportation secretary, Buttigieg has gone further, using Fox as a venue to clinically defend Democrats' positions while skewering Republicans in front of many of their own voters.
• But only now — in the wake of 2024's election disappointments and amid calls for a Democratic rebrand— is Buttigieg's approach being widely embraced.
Between the lines:As cable news networks face declining viewership numbers across the board, Fox News Channel is still maintaining its relevance. ==It ended 2024 as the most-watched network during the election cycle — and saw increasing viewership among Democrats and independents.
• Fox News was the most-watched news network across the seven swing states last month's election.
Even progressivesare beginning to embrace the idea of expanding Democrats' media reach: "My view is, as much engagement as possible is good," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told Axios.
• Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.), another progressive,told Axios that "as a gay woman, I have a particular view on the world and I actually think that it could be really helpful in this moment."
Several Democratstold Axios that ==revamping their party's media strategy should involve much more than simply going on conservative-leaning media.
• Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), co-chair of House Democrats' political messaging arm, underscored that appearing on conservative media is important, but it's not "where the jackpot is."
• "We need to speak to people who don't consume news as a hobby.... That's not just going on Fox News ... it's going on places of culture, sports, different things like that," he said.
The other side:Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is among the Democrats who are more skeptical about engaging with conservative media. (The Bitch)
• "People that watch Fox News have their minds made up about the type of rhetoric that they want to listen to," Crockett said.
• "God bless those that go on there, but I don't think that we're really changing the minds of the people that have decided that they want to watch that bullsh*t," she added.
The bottom line:Beyond simply going on alternative media himself, Moskowitz said he has actively been trying to persuade colleagues to follow his lead.
• Asked whether he thinks he's changed some minds, he told Axios: "I think I have, because I think you're seeing the number of people increasing that are doing that."
(The big problem is not the media, it's their radical beliefs, and they never tell the truth when on the news. Change the platform and start being honest is the only thing will help them.)

5,000 US drones dazzle Christmas sky, break China’s world record with 30-min show
Dec 24, 2024 08:01 AM EST
Sky Elements, a Texas-based drone show company, has set a new world record.
Interestingly, the company achieved the Guinness World Record for the “Longest Animation Performed by Drones” with a mesmerizing 30-minute Christmas show in Texas, US.
This spectacular Christmas show with over 5,000 drones unfolded at the Birdville ISD Fine Arts/Athletics Complex in North Richland Hills, Texas, on December 20.
This is their 11th Guinness World Record, breaking their previous record of 2,500 drones set just a week ago
“Not only did we spread the holiday spirit, but we also scored our 11th Guinness World Record while we were at it!” said Preston Ward, Chief Pilot of Sky Elements.
5,000 drones
The drone show was a “drive-in event.” Viewers remained in their cars while watching the performance. The show included a synchronized audio track.
Viewers tuned their car radios to the specified FM frequency (88.9 FM) to hear the accompanying music, narration, or sound effects that matched the drone light show.
A Guinness World Records official was on-site to verify the record.
The North Texas-based company orchestrated a 30-minute aerial narrative featuring 2,500 drones, surpassing the previous record of 26 minutes and 26 seconds held by a Chinese firm.
The company website’s update mentions that this mesmerizing display of 5,000 drones took to the sky to form a gigantic, lifelike turkey.
Adding to the visual spectacle, the turkey dramatically spread its feathers, showcasing a vibrant and colorful autumnal palette.
Further, the drone show transformed into a magical Christmas scene. A giant snowman and a whimsical gingerbread village, complete with festive lights and smoke, appeared in a breathtaking display.
In the end, it showcased Santa Claus and his reindeer soaring across the skyline, spreading Christmas joy to the audience.
Santa’s sleigh was brimming with gifts, and the overall display conveyed the festive message of “Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good flight!”

Biden administration throws out proposed Title IX transgender sports rule
The Biden administration has scrapped plans to prohibit states from banning transgender athletes from participating in school sports.
December 23, 2024, 7:30 am ET
The Biden administration has scrapped plans to prohibit states from banning transgender athletes from participating in school sports.
According to Reuters,Biden’s Department of Education withdrew the proposed rule from the federal register on Friday afternoon.
The rule, if it went into effect, would have barred schools from banning transgender athletes from participating in sports teams different from their sex assigned at birth.
According to Outkick, the Education Department explained its reasoning for withdrawing the proposed rule in a statement.
”The Department recognizes that there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity, including lawsuits related to Title IX’s application to athletic eligibility criteria in a variety of factual contexts. In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time. Therefore, the Department hereby withdraws the Athletics NPRM and terminates this rulemaking proceeding,” the Education Department said.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, one of the organizations that sued the Biden administration over the rule, welcomed the move in a statement.
“Women and girls deserve to compete on a level playing field, and the U.S. Department of Education has taken a step in the right direction by withdrawing this proposed change.
As the withdrawal admitted, many Americans voiced their opposition to the rule change and there are many pending lawsuits related to protecting women’s sports—including a comment submittedby Alliance Defending Freedom and multiple lawsuits brought by ADF to protect women’s sports.
The decision to withdraw the proposed sports rule merely reflects the views of the vast majority of Americans who believe that women’s sports should remain reserved for female athletes,” said ADF Senior Counsel and Vice President of Legal Strategy Jonathan Scruggs.
(It should permanently reserved in the rule, only women, not men pretending to be a woman, with no possibility of change.)

New Delhi to Host Groundbreaking Conference Merging Space Science and Spirituality
24 Dec 2024 11:43 IST
The Swami Vivekananda and Nikola Tesla International Foundation (SVNTIF) has announced an ambitious initiative to unravel cosmic mysteries at the International Conference on UFOs and Aliens, scheduled for March 15, 2025, in New Delhi.
What sets this event apart is its groundbreaking approach—blending ancient Vedic science with cutting-edge advancements in space exploration and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The conference promises to be a historic convergence of thought, bringing together luminaries from diverse fields, including ISRO, NASA, SpaceX, and leading academic institutions like IITs and Banaras Hindu University, alongside global space agencies and UFO researchers.
At the heart of the conference lies a unique proposition: Could ancient Indian scriptures, often laden with cosmic references, hold clues to modern UFO phenomena?
Experts will delve into works attributed to Aryabhatt, Maharshi Kanad, and Bhaskara II, exploring whether their astronomical insights offer a window into today’s unexplained aerial phenomena.
"Vedic science has always intrigued modern physicists and cosmologists," said Manash Deka, President of SVNTIF.
"This event is a rare opportunity to connect ancient wisdom with present-day scientific exploration, especially as we aim to understand the unexplained."
Notable organizations, including the European Space Agency, International UFO Congress, and the International Astronomical Union (IAU), are expected to participate, alongside astronauts and researchers.
The interdisciplinary dialogues promise to investigate the alignment of historical narratives with modern UFO sightings, using AI-driven data analysis to uncover new insights.
SVNTIF’s announcement builds on the success of its 2024 World Energy Conference, which celebrated the fusion of science and spirituality.
Inspired by the philosophical synergy between Swami Vivekananda and Nikola Tesla, the foundation aims to expand this dialogue into the realm of cosmic phenomena.
"India has a long-standing tradition of astronomical excellence and philosophical inquiry.
This conference could place New Delhi at the centre of a global conversation about humanity's place in the cosmos," Deka added.
A Call to Action for the Global Space Community.
As UFO sightings gain increasing attention worldwide, the conference aims to foster international cooperation.
"It’s not just about aliens; it’s about exploring humanity's shared quest for knowledge," Deka emphasized.
The event's ambitious agenda reflects the SVNTIF's vision to blend the timeless wisdom of the East with the technological prowess of the West, bridging the gap between spirituality and science.

Russia Launches Christmas Assault On Ukraine, Targeting Power Grid
Russia unleashed a massive aerial attack using missiles and drones on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called the Christmas Day assault "inhuman."
"Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas to attack. What could be more inhuman? More than 70 missiles, including ballistic missiles, and more than a hundred attack drones," the Ukrainian president wrote on Telegram.

Church of England Priests Told to Change ‘Problematic’ Christmas Hymns: Report
Church of England clergy have reportedly been told to make changes to popular Christmas carols to avoid “causing unnecessary offence”.
A whistleblowing vicar has claimed that priests throughout England have been urged to modify Advent hymns and Christmas carols, The Telegraph reports.
According to the broadsheet, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel was identified as being potentially offensive for suggesting that other religions are “outside of God’s grace”.
Additionally, Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending had been flagged for containing “problematic words” because it affirms that Jesus Christ is the “true Messiah”.
In an email sent out to the diocese in Birmingham, priests were reportedly told: “Try to use language that won’t add further confusion or tension or take away anything from the good news of the Nativity.”

Biden signs 50 bills into law on Christmas Eve
President Biden signed 50 bills into law on Christmas Eve, as the year and his time in office draw to a close.
The bills Mr. Biden signed include socialite and activist Paris Hilton's bill to protect teenagers living in residential treatment facilities, a bill setting anti-hazing standards on college campuses, and a bill preventing members of Congress from collecting pensions if convicted of certain crimes.
Hilton is the force behind the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, which passed the House and Senate last week. The legislation creates a federal work group on youth residential programs to oversee the health, safety, care, treatment and placement of minors in rehab and other facilities. The new law is personal for Hilton, who has testified before Congress that she faced abuse in such facilities as a teen.
Another measure the president signed, S. 932, prohibits members of Congress convicted of crimes related to public corruption from receiving their retirement payments. Previous law allowed members to continue to receive checks only after the exhaustion of all appeals. The new bipartisan law comes after Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey was found guilty this year of using his political influence to benefit businessmen and foreign governments in return for bribes.
The Stop Campus Hazing Act requires higher education institutions to disclose hazing incidents reported to campus or local police authorities in their annual security reports. The new law also requires schools to teach students about the dangers of hazing, among other things.
Yet another new law, S. 4610, makes the bald eagle the official bird of the U.S. The federal government had never designated an official bird.
On Monday, the president granted clemency to 37 of the 40 federal inmates facing death sentences, commuting their sentences to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The move prompted both consternation and praise. Mr. Biden also vetoed a bill on Monday that would have created 66 new federal judgeships, saying the House had rushed it through without resolving important issues about how it would be implemented.

I held a meeting of the Staff.
We thoroughly analyzed our work with Syria after the fall of Assad and his escape.
Today, the intelligence services presented their reports—the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine—as well as the Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs. We are defining our strategy and concrete steps.
Ukraine is interested in stabilizing the situation in Syria and the entire region and will support the necessary efforts of partners.
We believe it is crucial for the security of the Syrian people and the region as a whole to remove any Russian presence from Syria.
We are grateful to every state and every leader who is ready to help Syrian society restore normal life and build effective state institutions. We will certainly support Syria in ensuring food security—necessary decisions on our part have already been made, and Ukraine is ready to supply food.
We are ready to work with the representatives of the Syrian people to correct the mistakes of the Assad regime, especially regarding Ukraine and all of Europe.
Today, we also received a report from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi on the frontline and the areas of the Kursk operation. There are risks of North Korea sending additional troops and military equipment to the Russian army, and we will have tangible responses to this. Now, according to preliminary data, the number of North Korean soldiers killed and wounded in the Kursk region has already exceeded 3,000.
It is important for the world to understand that the risk of destabilization around the Korean Peninsula and in neighboring regions or waters increases proportionally with the growing cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang. The transfer of modern warfare experience and the proliferation of military technologies from Russia is a global threat. For the world, the cost of restoring stability is always much higher than the cost of effectively pressuring those who destabilize the situation and destroy lives.

Bombshell Photos Reveal Joe and Hunter
Biden’s Ties to Chinese Officials
PJ Media, by Matt Margolis
Original Article

It’s hardly news that Joe Biden is a liar. And lately, he’s actually being called out for it. After repeatedly denying he would pardon his son Hunter, he went ahead and did it anyway—as anyone could have predicted. Another lie he repeated often was that he never discussed business deals with Hunter.The evidence proving he was lying has been out there for a long time now, but new photos released this week further undermine Joe’s claims. The National Archives released a series of photos showing Joe Biden, during his vice presidency, meeting with Chinese officials and Hunter Biden’s business associates.

Why Prince Andrew Is Missing from the Royal Family's Christmas Walk This Year
The Duke of York didn't join his brother the King for the much-loved public walk to church on Christmas Day
By Janine Henni & Rachel Burchfield
December 25, 2024
08:20AM EST
Prince Andrew didn't join the royal family's traditional Christmas celebrations at Sandringham amid another scandal.
On Dec. 25, the Duke of York, 64, and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson skipped the royal family's traditional Christmas gathering amid backlash around the Duke of York's connection to an alleged Chinese "spy." Their younger daughter Princess Eugenie also didn't join the public-facing walk to church on Christmas, though their elder daughter Princess Beatrice did.
It was a last-minute change in plans for Beatrice, 36, who is pregnant with her second child and a decision made as her due date approaches. The princess stepped out with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and stepson Christopher Woolf, 8, for the festive walk to church at St. Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham estate, where they joined King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton and other members of the royal family.
PEOPLE understands that Princess Beatrice had plans to spend the holiday with her in-laws in Italy, but doctors advised against travel at this point of her pregnancy.
In addition to skipping the Christmas gathering at the Norfolk estate and the traditional family walk to church at St. Mary Magdalene on the estate’s grounds the morning of Dec. 25, Andrew also didn't go to his brother King Charles’ pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Dec. 19 amid uproar around the alleged spy scandal.
Earlier this month, Andrew found himself at the center of further controversy following his disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview surrounding his sexual assault allegations and association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which resulted in his step back as a working royal. The latest scandal involves the Duke of York’s close business links with a Chinese national alleged to be a spy, according to multiple reports.
The alleged spy, Yang Tengbo, was reportedly appointed as a “business adviser” to Prince Andrew and was promised access to the highest levels of the royal family “in an apparently serious breach of national security,” according to The Times. The outlet added that British security services found the man was a member of the Chinese Communist Party and was working for its United Front Work Department, which gathers intelligence.
The BBC reported that the man received an invite to Prince Andrew’s 60th birthday party in 2020 — just months after his Newsnight fiasco — and was told he could act on his behalf to seek investors in China. The Times reported that the alleged spy was also invited to the royal estate at Windsor.
Amid the fallout, it emerged on Dec. 16 that the Duke and Duchess of York (who divorced in 1996 but continue to live at Royal Lodge in Windsor) would no longer attend the royal family Christmas at Sandringham. Last year, the ex-couple stayed at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, and were expected to do so again this year.

Prince Andrew spotted with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson after skipping Royal Christmas amid scandal
Prince Andrew has been spotted amid staying away from the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations in Sandringham after becoming embroiled in a scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy
By Jennifer Newton

Updated 16:10, 25 Dec 2024
Prince Andrew has been spotted with his ex-wife after deciding to skip royal Christmas in Sandringham.
The disgraced royal didn't join the other royals at church today. He was seen leaving the Royal Lodge with his Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.
It was revealed last week that Duke of York had decided to stay away from the festivities to avoid further embarrassing the King after being embroiled in a scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy. Andrew has instead been spending Christmas with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who still lives with him at his Windsor home, Royal Lodge.
Andrew spent last Christmas with the royal family at the King’s Norfolk estate and was seen walking to and from church on Christmas Day as well as talking to local royal fans. Christmas this year is looking a lot different as he spends it with ex-wife Fergie. His eldest daughter Princess Beatrice, who is pregnant with her second child, is at Sandringham for Christmas. However, younger daughter Princess Eugenie is spending Christmas with her husband Jack Brooksbank's family for the first time.
The Duke of York’s latest nightmare was exposed after an alleged Chinese spy lost his appeal several weeks ago against being barred from the UK. The man, identified today as Yang Tengbo and named in court documents as ‘H6’, brought the case after being banned in March 2023 on national security grounds despite having become a close contact of the Duke.
The Chinese businessman, who has insisted he has "done nothing wrong or unlawful", visited Buckingham Palace twice and also entered St James's Palace and Windsor Castle as a guest of Andrew, 64. In a statement, Mr Tengbo added that the "widespread description of me as a 'spy' is entirely untrue".
Mr Yang was also invited to Prince Andrew's birthday party in 2020, and was told by royal aide Dominic Hampshire he could act on the duke's behalf when dealing with potential investors in China, a tribunal heard in July this year. The Duke on Friday released a statement stating he had ceased all contact with the alleged spy after being warned by the security services. He added: "Nothing of a sensitive nature was ever discussed."
However, the King and other senior royals were said to be 'exasperated' for Andrew heaping further shame on the monarchy. Royal sources confirmed Andrew had "done the right thing" by stepping away from the Christmas gathering. A royal source previously said: “The King and other members of the family are as exasperated as can be with the Duke with this latest issue. It is of grave embarrassment to him and the institution."
Despite cutting him off financially and refusing to meet the £3million a year cost of his private security, the King had attempted to bring his brother in from the cold since ascending the throne. His former wife Sarah, Duchess of York, who has herself been embroiled in several scandals involving cash for access claims at the heart of the institution involving her ex-husband, said she will always "support" the father of her children.
She added: "I was totally and utterly in love with Andrew. I would do it all over again, 100 per cent. He’s the best, a great man with a great heart, and kind. Our wedding was the best day of my life. But I gave up my anonymity that day. I was able to because love conquers all. It’s still with us today. I won’t let him down."

Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in “repair” money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about “anything.” Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World. Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!…

They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing. Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them, but were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden. I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky “souls” but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL! We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I just left Wayne Gretzky, “The Great One” as he is known in Ice Hockey circles. I said, “Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada - You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.” He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement.

I am pleased to announce that Kevin Marino Cabrera will serve as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Panama, a Country that is ripping us off on the Panama Canal, far beyond their wildest dreams.
Kevin is a fierce fighter for America First principles. As a Miami-Dade County Commissioner, and Vice Chairman of the International Trade Consortium, he has been instrumental in driving Economic growth, and fostering International partnerships. In 2020, Kevin did an incredible job as my Florida State Director and, this year, advanced our MAGA Agenda as a Member of the RNC Platform Committee.
Few understand Latin American politics as well as Kevin - He will do a FANTASTIC job representing our Nation’s interests in Panama!

Islamists aim to turn France into caliphate – intel chief
The influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country is growing, according to Bertrand Chamoulaud
The Islamist movement Muslim Brotherhood has been expanding its influence in France, acting behind the scenes to make the country a caliphate governed by Sharia law, according to the country’s top intelligence official.
Bertrand Chamoulaud, head of the National Directorate for Territorial Intelligence at the French Ministry of the Interior, made the remarks during an interview with Le Monde this week.
He said more than 100,000 worshippers attend mosques run by the Muslim Brotherhood, who spread their ideas through entrenchment and with a “very smooth” discourse rather than resorting to violence.
The movement is effectively using societal tensions to gradually infiltrate some social enterprises and civil society organizations, said Chamoulaud.
“This concerns us because their infiltration affects all sectors: sports, health, education, etc.,” he stressed.
One of their strategy tools is playing a victim role, Chamoulaud said, elaborating that every time a mosque is closed or a separatist imam is expelled, the Islamists denounce a so-called “Islamophobic state.”
The risk is that some moderate Muslims may be convinced by this victim discourse, the intel chief warned.
He cited as an example the non-profit organization Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF), which was created in 2003 with a mission to combat discrimination towards Muslims. Dissolved in 2020, the CCIF was repeatedly criticized over its use of the term Islamophobia, and was suspected of having Islamist links.
The CCIF’s ideas, such as the compulsory veil or the rejection of mixed-race groups, are now gradually becoming established in Belgium, Chamoulaud claimed.
The Society of the Muslim Brothers, better known as the Muslim Brotherhood, is a transnational Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt by an Islamic scholar in 1928. It advocates the application of Islamic law in all aspects of society, and is banned as a terrorist organization by many countries.
French President Emmanuel Macron has launched a crackdown on what he calls Islamist separatism and radical Islam in the country following deadly jihadist attacks in recent years by foreign and homegrown militants. The measures aim to limit foreign influence over Muslim institutions in France.
Nearly seven million Muslims live in France, around 10% of the population, according to data by France’s statistics agency. Islam is the country’s second-largest religion after Catholicism.

@StealthQE4
This is dark and deep but it’s my biggest concern heading into 2025.
We have $7 trillion of debt that needs to be refinanced in 2025 alone and rates are now considerably higher.
I don’t know how this gets done.

President Trump Reports Border Wall Auction
Has Been Stopped
Conservative Treehouse, by Sundance
Posted By: Harlowe, 12/25/2024 2:44:35 PM
In a post on his Truth Social page, President Trump shared some information from Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick who is reporting that the border wall panels have been pulled from auction. [Snip] “The wall panels were pulled from the auction the day before the scheduled sale. The auctioneer told our team he would not do anything with them until after your inauguration. We are keeping an eye on it to be sure they don’t.” Last Thursday, President-elect Trump submitted an amicus brief supporting an injunction to prevent the Biden administration from proceeding with the sale of the materials,...

A small airport with a bigger claim to fame is closing in northern Minnesota after more than a half-century of operation.
Trafficking hub?
The Piney-Pinecreek Border Airport is so named because its runway crosses the US-Canada border, reports Minnesota Public Radio. In fact, it's been hailed as "the world's first binational airport," notes the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Despite the bragging rights, however, the airport has been mostly used by hunters and fishermen, and the cost of maintenance has proven to be too much. The airport has a 3,297-foot runway, of which 2,350 feet are in Minnesota and the rest in Canada, per the Grand Forks Herald.

People who need instructions of how to "deal with a Trumper" are better off staying in their safe space. Good grief!
Last time I checked, Trumpers are the MAJORITY in our country.
Here’s a holiday guide for dealing with the Trumper in your family, even over a Zoom call. It’s a problem that comes up with increasing regularity in some families.
Some families with a Trumper make it a point never to talk politics with them. But this is becoming difficult, given we’re just weeks away from another and even less restrained Trump administration.
Some people who have a Trumper in their family have stopped seeing or talking with them altogether, effectively pushing them out of the family. This may be necessary but it’s a drastic and, for some, sad remedy. Others simply don’t invite the Trumper in their family to their holiday dinners. But this can be awkward, especially if several of your relatives are Trumpers or if the Trumper is long accustomed to coming to family dinner for the holiday.

I just left Wayne Gretzky, “The Great One” as he is known in Ice Hockey circles. I said, “Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada - You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.” He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch!

Former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s campaign committee has reported spending millions of dollars on Stripe Inc.’s payment-processing services in recent years, though it now says that those funds ultimately went somewhere else — and campaign-finance watchers say that’s a problem.
During the 2024 election cycle, Gaetz’s principal campaign committee, Friends of Matt Gaetz, said in Federal Election Commission filings that it had paid a total of $1.2 million in “e-merchant fees” to Stripe, a San Francisco-based financial-services company. The sum is equivalent to about 19% of all contributions the campaign took in during the period, the filings show.

The History of Father Christmas
Festive folklore, winter traditions and very merry myths, the making of a festive icon
By Tom Moriarty
https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/christmas/the-history-of-father-christmas/
--
The jolly old man who sneaks into our houses every 24 December is beloved across the world and known by many names. But should you call him Father Christmas, St Nicholas or Santa Claus? What's the difference? Where did he come from? Is he a Christian saint or a corporate stooge?
In this article we'll explore how Father Christmas emerged in England at a time when seasonal celebrations were under attack. We'll also uncover the transatlantic origins of Santa Claus, and find out what happened when these two festive figureheads met in the 19th century.
—-
The English Origins of Father Christmas
From his earliest days until the 19th century, Father Christmas was a strictly allegorical figure. He was a symbol of the Christmas season, rather than a mythical being. He was often depicted as a merry old man who presided over festive parties, not a gentle giver of gifts. And that's largely because Christmas was celebrated differently, with much more emphasis on entertainment for adults - as can be seen in Kenny Meadows' drawing in the Illustrated London News.
The earliest evidence for a personified Christmas can be found in a 15th-century carol, in which a character called 'Sir Christëmas' shares the news of Christ's birth. He tells his audience to 'Make good cheer and be right merry.'
Another precurser to Father Christmas could be found in York, where a festival called the 'Yule Ridings' took place on the 21 December. A man disguised as Yule carried cakes and meat through the streets and threw nuts into the crowd. In 1572 the procession was banned after complaints of 'verie rude and barbarouse' behaviour.
Elsewhere in Tudor and Stuart times, specially appointed 'Lords of Misrule' oversaw Christmas celebrations in aristocratic houses, and were sometimes given names like ‘Captain Christmas’, ‘The Christmas Lord’ or ‘Prince Christmas’.
But none of these early personifications of Christmas make him out to be a 'father' or an old man. For that, the world had to wait for the playwright Ben Johnson.

The Musk-Led Manufacturing Revolution Nobody Is Talking About
When most analysts discuss Tesla, they focus on new vehicles or the electric vehicle company’s advancements in autonomy. Yet, according to Launch i/o CEO Jeff Lutz, one of the most significant—and under-discussed—developments at Tesla is happening not in its design studios or on the road, but in its factories. Lutz, a former executive at Google and Motorola, argues that Tesla’s true innovation isn’t just the electric vehicles or robots it’s building, but how those products are being made. The company’s first-principles approach to manufacturing is a radical departure from the industry norm, focusing not just on cheap labor or existing models, but on rethinking the entire production process.
Tesla is creating factories that are the product—designing, testing, and perfecting every element just as they do with their cars. This focus on manufacturing efficiency, Lutz believes, will lead to a dramatic reduction in production costs, potentially bringing them closer to zero. And this shift in how products are built—rather than merely assembled—could set a new standard for the entire manufacturing world.

Johnson's Christmas, His Masque was performed for the royal court in 1616. In the play, the character of 'Christmas' appears in old-fashioned clothes with a long thin beard, calling himself 'old Christmas' and 'old Gregorie Christmas'. He chides the guards for refusing to let him into the party, and argues that he is ‘as good a Protestant as any in my parish’ - a pointed comment at a time when Christmas celebrations were coming under attack from Puritans.
Johnson's character of Christmas is definitely old, and he is definitely a father. He brings with him several of his sons and daughters, each personifying a different tradition of the period, with names like ‘Misrule’, ‘Carol’, ‘Mince Pie’, ‘Mumming’ and ‘Wassail’. Christmas himself came with no gifts, but one of his sons, ‘New Yeares Gift’, brought ‘an Orange, and a sprig of Rosemarie…with a coller of gingerbread…[and] a bottle of wine on either arme.’
The Puritan attack on Christmas intensified before, during and after the English Civil War (1642-51). Royalists flocked to Christmas's defence, and once again personified the season to make their case, as in the 1645 pamphlet 'The Arraignment, Conviction and Imprisonment of Christmas'. In this allegorical story, a woman asks the Oxford town crier where 'old father Christmas' has gone. She is told that ‘The poor old man...was arraigned, condemned, and after conviction cast into prison amongst the King’s Souldiers; fearing to be hanged.’
Sure enough, in 1647 Parliament banned Christmas altogether, along with Easter, Whitsun and many other traditional holidays.
He also featured in a pamphlet of 1652 by the Royalist John Taylor called 'The Vindication of Christmas':
And in 1658, a pamphlet entitled 'The Examination and Tryall of Old Father Christmas' depicted him as a man with a white beard and old-fashioned fur-trimmed gown. He's put on trial for his life, but thankfully for us, is acquitted by the jury.

Christmas returned after the Restoration of 1660, and Father Christmas went on to appear in stage plays and folk drama over the next 200 years. But, as Ronald Hutton says in Stations of the Sun, he remained far removed from our understanding of the man:
‘He was essentially concerned with the adult world, personifying feasting and games, he had no connection with presents, and he was not treated with much respect, being generally a burlesque figure of fun.’
Father Christmas enjoyed a mini-renaissance in the first half of the 19th century. In illustrations he was sometimes shown as a winter sprite with garlands of holly on his head, surrounded by food and drink, and he featured in many folk plays of the era. He also closely resembles the Ghost of Christmas Present from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
But Christmas was changing. With the Victorian focus on family life and children, it would no longer be just a time for drinking, feasting and making merry. And this new kind of Christmas needed a new kind of old man to represent it.

St Nicholas and Sinterklaas
Long before the symbol of Father Christmas emerged in England, the separate legend of Sinterklaas was gaining ground in Europe.
The origins of Sinterklaas can be found in the stories of St Nicholas, a 4th-century Greek bishop from Myra, now in modern-day Turkey.
St Nicholas was credited with a wide variety of miracles. According to one story, he resurrected three youths after they'd been murdered and pickled in a barrel by an innkeeper.
In another tale, he met a poor man who was on the brink of selling his own daughters into slavery. Under the cover of darkness, the saint anonymously threw three bags of gold down the chimney to provide dowries for the girls. The gold landed in their stockings, which were drying by the fire.
St Nicholas's fame spread throughout medieval Europe after his relics were ‘rescued’ from Myra and taken to Italy in 1087. Over time, tales of his gold-giving exploits gave rise to a tradition of leaving gifts for children on the night before 6 December - which was St Nicholas’s Day. In the Netherlands, special markets sprang up to sell toys and treats for the occasion, and St Nicholas, or 'Sinterklaas' impersonators dressed in red bishops’ costumes to delight the crowds. Tradition had it that, in his quest to deliver presents, St Nicholas would enter houses by passing through locked doors or descending down chimneys to leave gifts in shoes and stockings.
Much like the English Father Christmas, Sinterklaas came under attack during and after the Reformation, with Protestants keen to move away from veneration of the saints. The baby Jesus was promoted as a more appropriate giver of gifts – known in Germany as das Christkindl, later Anglicised as ‘Kris Kringle’. St Nicholas markets were banned - as were biscuits baked in the shape of the bishop.
But it’s clear that popular traditions survived. One famous depiction is Jan Steen’s 17th-century painting of The Feast of St Nicholas, which shows a chaotic domestic Dutch scene of gift-giving and feasting.
More evidence of their survival comes from the ways that the Sinterklaas 'universe' expanded to include a host of frightening, violent characters who dished out punishments to naughty children - including Krampus, Pere Fouettard (‘Old Man Whipper’), Ru-Klaus (‘Rough Nicholas’), Pelsnickel (‘Furry Nicholas’) and Knecht Rupert (‘Farmhand Rupert’).

Father Christmas meets Santa Claus
Historians think that Santa Claus first stepped foot in England in 1864, when he featured alongside Father Christmas in a story by the American author Susanna Warner. In her tale, Santa Claus brought gifts, while Father Christmas appeared in a mummer’s play. And there's evidence that in the 1860s other beings, such as fairies, were responsible for clandestine Christmas gifts.
But the new legend of Santa Claus soon displaced the fairies, much to the confusion of English folklorists in the 1870s, who were at a loss to explain the emerging tradition. One, a Mr Edwin Lees, wrote in a letter to Notes & Queries in 1879:
‘On Christmas Eve, when the inmates of a house in the country retire to bed, all those desirous of a present place a stocking outside the door of their bedroom, with the expectation that some mythical being called Santiclaus will fill the stocking or place something within it before morning...From what region of the earth or air this benevolent Santiclaus takes flight I have not been able to ascertain.’
Image: fromFun,Issue 763, 24 December 1879, p 256.
By the 1880s Santa Claus had almost completely merged with Father Christmas, and was popular across all parts of the country. The Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore notes that a French visitor to England in 1883 said it was a matter of common knowledge that Father Christmas came down chimneys to put toys and sweets in stockings.
By the end of the century, Punch magazine was depicting 'Father Christmas not-up-to-date' as the old, food-focused figure of the past, and 'Father Christmas up-to-date' as a much more modern figure, dashing through the snow on a car carrying a box full of toys.
The English Father Christmas was now Santa Claus in all but name. Despite being invented by New Yorkers hankering after old Dutch traditions, Santa was exactly the kind of hero the Victorians needed for their new, family-friendly Christmas.

A Very Victorian Christmas Icon
The Victorians did more than anyone to give us our ‘modern’ Christmas. For them, Christmas was a time for children, charity, and religion. There was no more room for the raucous Lords of Misrule, or the kinds of celebrations presided over by Ben Johnson’s Old Christmas and his gang of delinquent children.
As the 19th century wore on, new traditions were imported, invented and reinvented to support this tamer, domesticated Christmas. Prince Albert and Queen Victoria popularised the German Christmas tree; gift-giving shifted to Christmas from New Year; Tom Smith invented the Christmas cracker; mass-produced cards were sent across the country and around the world and carol singing enjoyed a renaissance.
The old English Father Christmas loved a good party, but the Victorians needed more from him that that. Generous, jolly and dedicated to children, Santa Claus was the ideal character for their new version of Christmas – just as he was for the New Yorkers who did so much to shape his legend earlier in the century. To conquer the English imagination, he just needed to assume a more familiar name.
Whatever we call him, he continues to dominate the popular culture of Christmas across the world – and he’s showing no sign of slowing down.

Assembly Engineer Overview
Salaries
Interviews
What does an Assembly Engineer do?
Assemblers are highly technical workers with strong engineering backgrounds who receive and conceptualize designs to create a physical model of the desired product. This hands-on role requires workers to understand and utilize complex designs and follow specific design specifications to ensure a product is designed effectively. Many assemblers work in the aerospace industry, although any industry that requires the production of physical products may require and hire assemblers.
Assemblers require a high school diploma or equivalent (such as a G.E.D.) at a minimum. A Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering may be preferred for some positions. As this role requires the use of different mechanical equipment, different certificates will be required for most assembler roles. Such certificates can often be obtained through specialized training schools. Assemblers may also need a security clearance to work on government contracts.

This was seriously educating, I've read and studied the Ukraine Revolution and Russia's response, but he goes back to Clinton's time and all the presidents through Obama, explaining the defensive actions of Russia, and how it linked in to this day. The history is profoundly disturbing on what the West has done to Russia going back into the 1990's. It's surprising that Russia does't hate the West and America thoroughly.
Both Putin and Lavrov states they don't hate the people of these countries, and don't blame us for the leaders, that tortured and killed Russia and Russian people for a very long time, both in Ukraine and Russia's territories.. As a matter of fact Putin tried very hard to have good relations with America and all the Presidents since 1991-2.

‘No winners in nuclear war’ – Lavrov
Moscow’s patience is not limitless when it comes to its national interests, the foreign minister has said
Moscow is convinced that a nuclear conflict cannot be won and should not be launched under any circumstances,Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the ‘60 Minutes’TV show on Wednesday.That does not mean that anyone can test Russia’s patience, the minister warned, adding that his country would not hesitate to defend its interests with all available means.
Russia has “never started a discussion on… whether nuclear arms can be used,” the minister said.Moscow wants nuclear powers to once again officially acknowledge “there can be no winners in a nuclear war and it should never be triggered” – something that US President Ronald Reagan and the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev did in the 1980s, according to Lavrov.
Russia first put forward a corresponding initiative during talks between President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden and then presented it to the five permanent UN Security Council members in 2021.
All statementsthat “consideredvarious scenarios of a nuclear war possible” came solely from Western capitals, the minister said. He particularly referred to the recent statements of US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) spokesman Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan. Last month, theadmiral said Washington was ready to launch nuclear strikes but would only do so “on terms that are most acceptable to the US.” (WTF is wrong with them)
According to Lavrov,Russia requested that the US clarify those statements but did not receive any “reasonable” answers. Moscow has no intention of “turning up the heat” on the issue of the use of nuclear weapons or its consequences and would gladly do anything to save people in the West the trouble of building nuclear bunkers, he said.
Russia’s use of its state-of-the-art nuclear-capable Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile system against a target in Ukraine led to a fourfold increase in the number of Americans looking for nuclear bunkers, the CEO of a Texas-based survival shelter company claimed in mid-December. The missile used in the strike was equipped with conventional warheads.
“We are firmly sticking to a position that there can be no winners in a nuclear war,” he said. The minister still cautioned Russia’s adversaries against provoking Moscow into taking drastic steps to protect its interests.
“I would advise anyone against testing our patience, our determination to defend our legitimate national interests with all means available,” Lavrov said.“They that have ears to hear, let them hear; they that have brains to understand, let them understand.”
Speaking at a meeting of top Russian Defense Ministry officials last week, Putin stated that the West’s active militarysupport to Ukraine was pushing Russia to the point where it could not help but retaliate. The president accused Washington of trying “to weaken our country and inflict a strategic defeat” on Moscow by pumping Ukraine full of money and weapons.

‘There’s No Alternative’: Over 50 MPs From His Own Liberal Party Call for Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau To Step Down Before Opposition Topples Him With No-Confidence Vote
Dec. 25, 2024
We have written here at The Gateway Pundit about how Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a ‘political escape artist’ who has survived many a grave crisis in his 9-year tenure in Ottawa.
But now, all indications seem to show that it’s ‘game over’ for the Globalist poster-boy, and it’s become a unanimous refrain among analysts that it’s not a question of ‘if’ he will fall, but ‘how’ and ‘when’.
To begin with, Trudeau leads a minority government, unstable by definition.
Add to that his relentless pushing for failed, crippling Globalist policies tanking his popularity levels, and you have a recipe for disaster for Trudeau, with his Liberals facing obliteration in the next election.
Now, after losing the support of the NDP and about to face yet another confidence vote – one that he is widely expected to lose – Trudeau is under increasing pressure from his own Liberal party legislators to step down and let someone else take over.

Russia’s First Domestically Built LNG Carrier Begins Sea Trials, Poised to Strengthen Arctic ‘Shadow Fleet’
By Malte Humpert (gCaptain) – December 25, 2024
In a significant step to expand Russia’s domestic shipbuilding portfolio the Zvezda shipyard has completed work on its first LNG vessel. Ice-capable gas carrier Aleksey Kosygin departed from the yard near Vladivostok for sea trials on December 25. It is the first LNG carrier completed by a Russian yard, though key parts of the vessels were constructed in South Korea.
The vessel will become part of the fleet to service Russia’s flagship LNG plant, Arctic LNG 2. The project has been plagued by delays due to escalating Western sanctions. Majority owner Novatek has struggled to secure ice-capable shipping capacity to service the project during winter. The company has thus far also been unable to find buyers for its LNG.
Originally Arctic LNG 2 was designed to rely on a fleet of 21 ice-capable LNG carriers for year-round transport via the Arctic; none of which have been delivered. The Arc7 LNG carriers – 300 meters long and 48.8 meters wide – are designed for year-round independent navigation along the Northern Sea Route. With a 45 MW power plant and powerful icebreaking capabilities they can travel through ice up to 1.7 meters thick.

Following sea trials Aleksey Kosygin is expected to enter service in early 2025. South Korean firm Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) constructed the more challenging blocks of the vessel. The hull up to the forward cargo bulkhead was towed to Zvezda in October 2021. The vessel was completed at Zvezda, including the installation of the gas membrane through French manufacturer GTT and propulsion components by European supplies MAN and Wärtsilä.
SHI had been contracted to provide 15 hulls to Zvezda, but only delivered five of them before the sanctions environment prompted the cancellation of the contract in 2024. Over the past several years the five delivered hulls remained at various stages of construction prompting questions how many vessels Russia would be able to launch on its own.
The next LNG carrier in line will be Pyotr Stolypin, estimated to have been at a similar level of completion when Western companies departed from Russia. Pyotr Stolypin is expected to follow Aleksey Kosygin in the coming months. Both vessels, as well as the Zvezda yard, have been sanctioned by the U.S.
The future of the remaining three hulls is much less certain. GTT reportedly completed work on only the first two vessels when they ceased work at Zvezda in January 2023 to comply with the EU’s 8th and 9th sanctions package. Russia has been making strides in developing their own membrane technology to reduce the country’s dependence on Western technology, though its status remains uncertain.
With respect to tanker membranes, Russian company Segezha Group has developed its own brand of “tanker plywood” used in the membrane-type insulation panels. In 2022 Segezha was certified by GTT for use in its Mark III membrane. The product has already found application in the Chinese shipbuilding market and could likely aid in the completion of the membrane in the remaining Arc7 vessels, industry experts speculate.

Lavrov outlines Moscow’s demands for resolving Ukraine conflict
Russia is seeking the fulfilment of past obligations from Kiev and the West, the foreign minister has said
Kiev and its Western backers have a backlog of unfulfilled promises to Moscow, which they must deliver on in order to end the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview on Wednesday.
Russia's top diplomat reiterated thatMoscow is willing to resolve the crisis through negotiations, but that it “needs to see serious specific proposals”for any meaningful progress, he told the ‘60 minutes’ program on Russian television.
He rejected the claim that the Russian government has preconditions for talks, saying that what President Vladimir Putin stated on multiple occasions was in essence a demand to deliver on past promises.
Lavrov mentionedassurances that NATO would not expand in Europethat were made to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev,the 2014 power-sharing agreementbetween then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and the people behind the armed coup in Kiev,and the Minsk agreements on peaceful reintegration of Donbassas examples of broken promises.
The minister also accused Kiev of violating its international obligations to respect the rights of its citizens, who consider the Russian language and culture to be part of their identity.Not adopting discriminatory domestic politics is part of “a bare minimum of what any normal member of the international community must do,”he said.
Kiev “has declared the eradication of everything Russian pretty much its main goal” and cannot purport to represent people living in Russian regions, which Ukraine claims under its sovereignty, Lavrov stressed.
The Ukrainian government has turned the country into a Western tool used to “remove a strong competitor in the Russian Federation from the international stage,” the diplomat stated, asserting that the West’s general policy is to remove any competition.
Moscow will not accept a ceasefire that would allow Kiev to regroup its army and renew attempts “to inflict a strategic defeaton Russia on the order of its masters,” Lavrov said.
Moscow is seeking “reliable, judicially binding agreements, which would remove the core causes of this conflict,” including the threat from NATO, he stressed.
Russia has “no illusion” that the election of Donald Trumpas the next US president would lead to a radical change of policy in Washington, Lavrov added. Trump has said he believes ending the hostilities in Ukraine as soon as possible would be in the interests of all parties involved.

Ukraine could attack Russia unless it joins NATO – former Ukrainian FM
Membership in the bloc would be what restrained Kiev from later taking “revenge,” according to (Big Fat Crybaby) Dmitry Kuleba
NATO membership for Ukraine is the only way to stop the country from waging war against Russia in the future, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has said. In a lengthy interview with the Kiev Independent published on Tuesday, Kuleba warned not to “underestimate” Kiev’s potential for “revanchist policies.”
Kulebastepped down as Kiev’s chief diplomat earlier this year during a large-scale purge of senior officials by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, andtook up a position at a Harvard-based international relations research center.
Before his resignation, he repeatedly warned that NATO’s unwillingness to accept Ukraineinto its ranks significantly hinders the possibility of quickly finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Russia.
Moscow opposes Ukraine’s membership in the US-led bloc, considering it a fundamental threat to Russia’s national security. Kiev’s official refusal to seek NATO membership and its neutrality are among Moscow’s key conditions for starting peace negotiations.
In his latest interview, Kuleba noted that whilein the short-term the sides could reach a ceasefire without NATO membership for Ukraine, it “will not mean the end of the war and will not prevent the next war.” By the “next war” he meant two possibilities, the first of which is Russia attacking the US-led bloc, the prospect of whichMoscow has repeatedly refuted as nonsense.
“If whatever we know of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is true, he will attack NATO only if he defeats Ukraine. If Ukraine comes out of this fight as a winning power and joins NATO,the combined military force of the alliance against Russia will be invincible,” he stated.
The second possibility he outlined is Ukraine attacking Russia out of “revenge” for the current conflictand to seize back the former Ukrainian territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye and Crimea that joined Russia.
“Ukraine’s potential for revanchist policiestowards Russia in the medium termshould not be underestimated and written off," Kuleba warned.
“The next generation of Ukrainian politicians will be focused entirely on the recovery of Ukraine after the war, but the generation after them will come to power on the slogans of revenge, on revanchist slogans towards Russia [such as] ‘retake territories!,’ ‘make Russia finally pay!,’”he added.Kuleba noted that such policies would come into focus “the moment” Ukraine “gets on its feet economically.”(They are broke for decades, they hardly own the land, they sold it to the west)
“Ukrainian membership in NATO is the only way to prevent the next war… to hold [Ukraine] back from waging a war on Russia… to make it bound by legal obligations to not expose its allies to the risk of war with Russia,” he claimed.
Moscow maintains that any peace settlement with Kiev must begin with Ukraine ceasing military operations and acknowledging the “territorial reality” that it will never regain control of its former regions.
(https://www.rt.com/russia/609921-ukraine-attack-russia-nato/
First of all this is stupidest thing I've from this jackass ever, do they think they can blackmail NATO or assuage the Kremlin. Certainly not brilliant thinkers over there:
#1. The Kremlin requires Ukraine from never joining NATO for 30 years.
#2. NATO basically has declared war on Russia and are willing to do it anytime. Adding Ukraine would be asking the retard of the family to join.
#3. Ukraine will never be invited, they've had mandates for two decades to clean up the corruption of the country, etc. They've never tried.
#4. If Ukraine is a NATO country they think this will end the war on their terms, this is not a negotiation to only be in NATO but to make Russia vulnerable to all of NATO
#5. It seems like they are trying hard to get this done before Trump is President.
#6. Ukraine has already lost the war and millions of people. Are they admitting they have always been terrorists and willing to sacrifice more citizens?
#7. So he is threatening the West, NATO, America and President Trump. Based on that they will try to hurt all his allies countries if they don't get their way.

Kiev can’t build nuclear weapons without West – Moscow
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has put Ukraine’s sponsors on notice
Ukraine lacks the capability to develop nuclear weapons on its own and could only obtain them with help from the West, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, Zakharova addressedstatements by Western officials and media outlets about Kiev having a nuclear deterrent.
“The Kiev regime can’t create nuclear weapons in a few weeks on its own. This is a fact,”Zakharova said, adding thatthe only way for Ukraine to achieve thiswould be “to receive important components from the outside, from other states.”
Ukraine should “sort out the heating season rather than seek nuclear weapons,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added.
The current government in Kiev has repeatedly claimed that Ukraine “gave up” nuclear weapons in 1994 in exchange for security assurances from both Russia and the US. VladimirZelensky has accused Moscow of violating the ‘Budapest Memorandum’ and claimed that Kiev therefore has the right to acquire nuclear weapons.
Russia has pointed out that Ukraine never had any nuclear weapons to begin with. The memorandum involved Soviet assets that legally belonged to Moscow, while it was the US that trampled on the 1994 deal by sponsoring the Maidan coup in Kiev in 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
In early October, German outlet Bild reportedthat Ukraine was ready to go nuclear, citing an unnamed weapons procurement official.
“We have the material, we have the knowledge. If the order is given, we will only need a few weeks to have the first bomb,” the official was quoted as saying earlier this year, adding that the West should “think less about Russia’s red lines and more about ours.”
Kiev quickly denied Bild’s claims, however, calling it “nonsense”and suggesting that the consistently pro-Ukrainian outlet was in fact publishing “Russian propaganda.”
Last month, however, the Washington Post cited anonymous US officials as speculating that the White House“could allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons again.” President Joe Biden’s national security adviser,Jake Sullivan, officially denied the reports.

Once again
I wrote this back in Dec’ 2017 and still looking for that Full Declas feeling 7 years later…
It’s been quite the show so far anons
It’s good to be awake and with you all
‘Twas the night before declas
And all through the Chan
All the Shills had been faging
To Mistrust the plan
The kekistan flag hung
Over my monitor with care
In the hopes that a Qpost
Soon would appear
The Anons were comfy
And feasting on crumbs
While E-bot was posting
Pics of boobies and bums
With Ma in her blanket
And I in MAGA cap
Were suffering from withdrawal
After 10 days of dark
When all in the bread there arose
Such a clatter
I moved one of my right fingers
To see what was the matter
I closed 40 windows
Of research and porn
Cranked up magic sword
And joined in the storm
Namefags, bread shitters
spammers and shills
I filtered them all
And took another red pill
When what to my bloodshot eyes
should appear
But another Q post saying
indictments are near!
Then the bread came alive
and turned to shit quick
With poorly made memes
That all said “Muh Dick”
Then with precision deltas
The Q posts they came
The clock had aligned
And they began to name names
On Hussein On LL
On JC On NoName
On Podesta On Huma
We’ll see you in Gitmo! Anons say Oo’rah!
Then Q made the call
And the dark turned to light
So the anons assembled
For the Patriots Fight!
With Memes at the ready
And the Notables Baked
The booms began booming
And we sealed their fate!
To Potus and Q
Thanks for all that you do
Anons are united
And we will see this through
So the movie plays on
As the house of cards fall
True Patriots know
WWG1WGA
Merry Christmas
God bless you all, your families and this great Republic

Russian Cargo Ship Sinks in Mediterranean After Explosion, Russian Foreign Ministry Says
By Andrew Osborn and Gleb Stolyarov Reuters December 24, 2024
MOSCOW, Dec 24 (Reuters) – A Russian cargo ship called Ursa Major sank in the Mediterranean Sea overnight after an explosion ripped through its engine room and two of its crew are still missing, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
The vessel, built in 2009, was controlled by Oboronlogistika, a company that is part of the Russian Defence Ministry’s military construction operations, which had previously said it was en route to the Russian far eastern port of Vladivostok with two giant port cranes lashed to its deck.
The Foreign Ministry’s crisis center said in a statement that 14 of the ship’s 16 crew members had been rescued and brought to Spain, but that two were still missing. It did not say what had caused the engine room explosion.
Russia’s embassy in Spain was cited by the state RIA news agency as saying it was looking into the circumstances of the sinking and was in touch with the authorities in Spain.
Oboronlogistika and SK-Yug, a company LSEG lists as part of the group and the ship’s direct owner and operator, declined to comment on the sinking. Both entities were placed under sanctions by the United States in 2022 for their ties to Russia’s military as was the Ursa Major itself.
Unverified video footage of the ship heavily listing to its starboard side with its bow much lower down in the water than usual was filmed on Dec. 23 by a passing ship and published on Russia’s life.ru news outlet on Tuesday.
Spain’s Maritime Rescue Service said it had received a distress signal from the Ursa Major on Monday when it was located about 57 miles off the coast of Almeira.
It said it had contacted a ship nearby which had reported bad weather conditions, a lifeboat in the water, and said the Ursa Major was listing to the starboard side.
Two vessels and a helicopter had been sent to the scene and the 14 surviving crew members taken to the Spanish port of Cartagena.
It cited the crew as saying that the ship had been carrying empty containers as well as the two port cranes on deck.
A Russian warship had later arrived on the scene, it said, and taken charge of rescue operations.
SINKING
Oboronlogistika, the ship’s ultimate owner, said in a statement on Dec. 20 that the ship, which LSEG data showed was previously called Sparta III among other names, had been carrying specialized port cranes due to be installed at the port of Vladivostok as well as parts for new ice-breakers.
Two giant cranes could be seen strapped to the deck in the unverified video footage.
LSEG ship tracking data shows the vessel departed from the Russian port of St. Petersburg on Dec. 11 and was last seen sending a signal at 2204 GMT on Monday between Algeria and Spain where it sank.
On leaving St. Petersburg it had indicated that its next port of call was the Russian port of Vladivostok, not the Syrian port of Tartous which it has called at in the past.
Separately, Ukraine’s HUR military intelligence service – which tracks Russian ship movements – had said in a post on its official Telegram channel on Monday that a different Russian cargo ship, called Sparta, had temporarily run into technical problems off the coast of Portugal.
HUR said in an update that the Sparta’s crew had fixed the problem however and that the ship was en route for Syria to collect military equipment and ammunition after the fall of close Russian ally Bashar al-Assad.
Reuters could not verify the HUR’s assertions about the Sparta’s destination or mission.

The Bilderberg Group is undergoing a leadership transformation as Donald Trump prepares to retake the White House
• Former NATO Secretary GeneralJens Stoltenbergis taking over as co-chair of The Bilderberg Group
• Silicon Valley billionaire and tech mogulPeter Thielappears to be emerging as a key player shaping Bilderberg's trajectory in the coming era of Trump 2.0
• Another notable member of the Bilderberg steering committee isNadia Schadlow, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a DC think-tank.
• Stoltenberg's co-chair, is Canadian-American economist, philanthropist,Marie-Josée Kraviswho sits on the board of Publicis, one of the world's largest PR and communications companies
• CEOAlex Karp, who also sits on the Bilderberg steering committee
• Bilderberg's steering committee also includes prominent figures likeEric Schmidt, former Google CEO
As the group prepares for itsnext meeting in Stockholm, hosted by billionaire industrialist Marcus Wallenberg, the focus will likely center on defense spending and transatlantic cooperation in an era of renewed great-power competition.
So clandestine are the Bilderberg gatherings that no minutes are taken, no press conferences given and no reports published.

Lavrov on Ukraine, Trump, and Syria: Key statements from his annual press conference
The Russian foreign minister has conducted an online briefing with domestic and international media to address major global issues
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has spoken on the country’s stance regarding the Ukraine conflict, potential dialogue with the incoming administration of US President-elect Donald Trump, and ongoing issues in Syria – in his annual online press conference on Thursday.
Here are the main points.
On the Ukraine conflict:
– A ceasefire is deemed “a path to nowhere.” Russia is not interested in empty discussions about a resolution.
– Future agreements on Ukraine must include mechanisms to prevent violations.
– Russia is open to consultations with the Trump administration, and hopes for an understanding of the conflict’s root causes.
– Moscow has received multiple private proposals from France to discuss Ukraine without Kiev’s involvement.
– Targets within Ukraine will be selected based on threats to Russia, including decision-making centers in Kiev.
On US relations:
– The US will continue its efforts to contain Russia, regardless of who is in power in Washington.
– Signals from the Trump team indicate an interest in resuming dialogue, but the first step must come from the Americans.
On French initiatives regarding Ukraine:
– France has approached Russia through closed channels to establish dialogue concerning Ukraine without involving Kiev.
– Paris’ ambiguous behavior, given its continuing military support for Kiev, raises doubts about its initiatives.
On EU relations:
– Russia is willing to engage with Western representatives seeking mutually beneficial agreements, as exemplified by Hungary and Slovakia.
– EU members are beginning to express interest in establishing trust-based conversations.
On Syria:
– Russia maintains contact with the new Syrian authorities and anticipates renewed economic cooperation.
– Moscow is prepared to assist in organizing elections in Syria with international recognition.
– Concerns regarding Türkiye’s border security with Syria are acknowledged, while Israel should not compromise Syrian security for its own.
– Russia opposes any fragmentation of Syria, highlighting the desire of some parties for this outcome.

The five locations of the Pope’s "Sacred Portals," when connected, form a disturbing image—a Satanic symbol known as the Sigil of Lucifer or the Seal of Satan.
This ominous emblem, deeply rooted in occult practices, is a magical symbol widely used by Luciferians and Satanists.
The Sigil of Lucifer appears as a chalice, symbolizing creation and the dark potential full of endless possibilities.

Here We Go: Public Health Experts Warn of Looming ‘Quad-demic’ This Winter — Flu, COVID, RSV, and Norovirus
by Jim Hᴏft Dec. 26, 2024
As winter approaches, so does the latest round of fear-mongering from public health officials: the “quad-demic.”
This year, it’s not just COVID, the flu, and RSV making headlines; norovirus, the infamous “winter vomiting disease,” has been added to the list of threats making the rounds.
But is the quad-demic hysteria justifiable, or is it another attempt to push vaccinations while glossing over their questionable effectiveness and potential risks?
Public health officials, like Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr. from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, are urging Americans to roll up their sleeves for not one but multiple shots—including the controversial COVID vaccine that has seen lackluster uptake since its introduction.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day
December 26, 2024
Grand Spiral NGC 5643
Viewed face-on, grand spiral galaxy NGC 5643 has a festive appearance in this colorful cosmic portrait. Some 55 million light-years distant, the galaxy extends for over 100,000 light-years, seen within the boundaries of the southern constellation Lupus. Its inner 40,000 light-years are shown in sharp detail in this composite of Hubble Space Telescope image data. The galaxy's magnificent spiral arms wind from a yellowish central region dominated by light from old stars, while the spiral arms themselves are traced by dust lanes, young blue stars and reddish star forming regions. The bright compact core of NGC 5643 is also known as a strong emitter of radio waves and X-rays. In fact, NGC 5643 is one of the closest examples of the Seyfert class of active galaxies, where vast amounts of dust and gas are thought to be falling into a central massive black hole.

NASA and SHAC of Scouting America join forces for historic STEM Partnership
December 26, 2024
In a groundbreaking collaboration, NASA has partnered with Scouting America’s Sam Houston Area Council (SHAC), which also serves the Greater Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest areas, to launch a first-of-its-kind STEM initiative.
This partnership aims to equip high school students with critical STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills through immersive, hands-on experiences and leadership training.
This historic agreement, formalized through a Space Act Agreement, marks the first collaboration between NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement (NASA OSTEM) and Scouting America.
It offers Scouts exclusive access to premier STEM programs while aligning with NASA’s mission to inspire and prepare the next generation of space explorers and innovators.
Empowering the Next Generation
Marvin Smith, Scout Executive/CEO of SHAC, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership:
“We are honored to establish this opportunity with NASA which will provide out-of-this-world experiences for our Scouts and volunteers to access preeminent STEM programs," he said.
"This agreement will inspire young minds through hands-on activities and captivating simulations that bring the universe to life. As we relaunch and rebrand under a new name, it is the perfect time to establish this partnership with NASA.”
he collaboration focuses on shared goals, including:
Promoting the value of STEM to educational and public audiences.
Increasing student and educator participation in STEM fields.
Preparing tomorrow’s workforce for careers in STEM.
Expanding access to STEM opportunities for underrepresented and underserved students.
Bridging the Gap
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects an 8.8% growth in STEM jobs by 2028, outpacing non-STEM fields.
This partnership aims to address that demand by providing Scouts with real-world learning opportunities designed to enhance critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Through its outreach, NASA OSTEM will deliver unique programs that give Scouts an in-depth understanding of the aerospace industry, while engaging them in NASA’s broader mission and vision.
From interactive simulations to hands-on activities, the initiative will bring STEM education to life for Scouts at SHAC’s premier facility, Camp Strake, and beyond.
A Shared Commitment
This collaboration comes at a pivotal moment as the Boy Scouts of America prepares to rebrand as Scouting America on February 8, 2025.
The name change reflects the organization’s dedication to inclusivity and its mission to welcome all youth and families into the Scouting experience.
This agreement reportedly aligns with NASA's strategic objectives of attracting and developing a talented and diverse workforce while building the next generation of explorers.
As this partnership takes flight, it promises to inspire young minds, foster a love of STEM, and shape the future of exploration—one Scout at a time.

26 Dec, 2024 13:30
Number of Russian visas issued to Americans rises
The director of the Foreign Ministry’s consular department has said that Moscow hasn’t imposed visa restrictions on most US citizens
More Russian visas have been issued to US citizens this year than in 2023, Aleksey Klimov, the director of the Foreign Ministry’s consular department, has said. Hundreds of thousands of electronic visas have been granted to Chinese, Indian, Turkish and German nationals this year, the diplomat has revealed.
According to the Klimov, the procedure for obtaining a Russian visa has not changed for US citizens since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. Restrictions only apply to a select list of individuals who have been barred from entering Russia, he added.
In an interview to RIA Novosti released on Thursday, Klimov said that “in the first 11 months of 2024, a total of 7,737 visas (165 of which were business visas) were issued to US citizens by Russian diplomatic representation offices and consulates.” The official noted that the number was 5,694 for the entirety of last year.
He also pointed out that Moscow did not respond in kind to the European Union scrapping the visa facilitation agreement in 2022 and that it still partly honors it.
Brussels suspended the 2007 EU-Russia visa facilitation accord in September 2022, citing Moscow’s military campaign against Kiev. The move made the visa application process for Russian citizens lengthier, costlier, and subject to greater scrutiny.
Moreover, a number of EU states, such as the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, separately imposed an entry ban for all Russian holders of short-stay Schengen visas.
Commenting on calls made by senior EU officials of late over the need to tighten the visa issuance procedure for Russians, Klimov told the media outlet that Moscow would carefully calibrate its response to any potential further restrictions by Brussels. He emphasized that Russia seeks to avoid harming “ordinary European citizens, many of whom do not support the anti-Russian course pursued by their governments.”
The Russian diplomat also revealed that since the start of this year, more than600,000 electronic visas have been granted, most of which have been given to individuals from China, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Türkiye, India, and Estonia.
Last month, the Russian business daily RBK, citing data from Russia’s Federal Security Service, reported that the country had welcomed seven times as many Chinese visitors from January to September 2024 compared to the same period of last year. According to the media outlet, a million trips to Russia were made by foreign citizens during that period – up 11% over 2023. Of those, 731,800 were undertaken by Chinese nationals.

Everyone has the same question as Christmas photo of stranded NASA astronauts sparks concern
Updated: 05:02 EST, 26 December 2024
A Christmas photo shared by NASA astronauts stranded on the international space station has everyone wondering how they got their hands on Christmas treats.
The images, which show Butch Wilmore, Suni Williams and other NASA astronauts wearing Santa Claus hats, was posted earlier this week to celebrate the holidays.
The two test pilots have been stranded in space since June, when they blasted off on Boeing’s first astronaut flight to the International Space Station.
But their mission grew from eight days to eight months after NASA decided to send the company’s problem-plagued Starliner capsule back empty in September.
This has led many on social media to question how the astronauts received the Christmas decorations they showed off in their holiday images.
One X user wrote: 'who delivered the Christmas hats and decorations??
'So…u thought far enough in advance to pack them when extra space in the capsule is at a very high premium?? hmmm.'
Another echoed the sentiment, adding: 'Just curious how they’re still alive with 8 days of food and Christmas decorations?'
A third questioned: 'How much did it cost to send up Christmas hats?'
The viral question prompted commander Nick Hague to reveal the crew received the goodies in a shipment from Earth six months ago.
'There's no last-minute dash to the mall to get gifts on @SpaceSation,' Hague said.
'A team of elves had to pack up these gifts 6 months ago!'
On a holiday video, Williams said: 'It’s a great time up here, we get to spend it with all of our ‘family’ on the International Space Station.
'There are seven of us up here and so we’re going to get to enjoy company together.'

Ukrainian MPs gearing up for election are traitors – ex-president
“Rating-hungry” officials are undermining national unity, Pyotr Poroshenko has claimed
Holding elections in Ukraine would deal a blow to national unity and “ruin the state,” the country’s former president, Pyotr Poroshenko, has claimed. His attack was directed at lawmakers, whom he branded a “Russian fifth column.”
The government suspended elections scheduled for 2024, citing martial law. The terms of Vladimir Zelensky’s presidency and for members or parliament expired earlier this year. TheUkrainian constitution allows MPs to remain in office during wartime but does not mention the president in such a case.
Poroshenko, who leads the European Solidarity party and is one of its serving MPs, lashed out at fellow lawmakers during an interview on Wednesday, calling their actions behind closed doors “a shame for Ukraine.”
“We need tostop wasting time on empty bubbling, on embezzlement, on non-consequential performances at the parliament,”he said, suggesting that members of his party are not engaged in such activities, unlike their competition.
The legislative body now “stinks of election” he fumed.By preparing for a possible national poll, “a union of the enemies from the Russian fifth columnand the mono-majority are destroying the nation every day,” he alleged.(Kek Those that doen't agree or wants to follow the law are Russia lovers.)
In 2019, Zelensky’s Servant of the People party won 254 places in the 450-seat parliament and did not need a coalition partner to form a government. Poroshenko’s party secured 25 seats that year.
Some MPs have since been stripped of their authority, resigned, or otherwise left their elected offices. Just 401 are officially listed as still on the rolls, with roughly 360 reportedly actively participating in sessions.
Most bills require a minimum of 226 votes to pass in the chamber. David Arakhamia, who leads Zelensky’s party in parliament, has complained of struggling to meet that benchmark.
If an official election campaign were to start now “that would mean the death of unity," Poroshenko claimed, adding that “unity is the key factor of our victory [against Russia].”
He urged a vote on a bill he had introduced to make it easier for the parliament to expel a member. If passed, alleged traitors could simply be ousted, Poroshenko said. Then a “coalition of national unity” could form a new government, in which jobs would be given “to professionals and not amateurs, people hungry for approval ratings, and show script writers.”
Zelensky gained fame as a popular comedian and producer before making a surprise turn into a politics in 2019.
(The Majority of this country is filled with dictator leaders that push Russia hatred, and violate their own laws glibly.And why is he demanding the MPs stop investigating embezzlement?What's he got to hide? The funny thing is, Russian MPs don't call others Ukraine Lovers, or traitors of Russia.)

Stephen Hawking predicted exact date of apocalypse amid warning from NASA
09:00 ET, Wed, Dec 25, 2024
NASA has recently raised concerns about potential existential threats to our planet, echoing the grave warnings once issued by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking.
Hawking made these alarming predictions in 2018, just two weeks before his death, and now NASA's announcement is bringing his timeline back into focus.
In The Search for a New Earth, Hawking cautioned that unless humanity alters its course, by 2600 the planet could transform into a massive ball of fire.
He attributed this terrifying prediction to the impacts of global warming, climate change, and the greenhouse effect as the main factors behind Earth's potential demise.
While NASA has validated Hawking's theory, they have not provided a specific expiration date for our planet.
However, they warn that if human consumption of energy resources continues unchecked, our end could arrive much earlier than expected.
Despite this, NASA remains dedicated to its prevention programs aimed at protecting Earth from both terrestrial and extraterrestrial threats.
Climate change also presents a significant risk to wildlife, with sloths potentially facing extinction by 2100.
In recent years, NASA has initiated a new program that allows it to identify potential threats to Earth, like asteroid impacts.
The organization also consistently conducts research on climate change to mitigate its impacts and allocate resources for Earth observation.

White Emperor: China’s NGAD 6th Generation Fighter Looks Like a ‘Space Fighter’
December 26, 2024
Key Points and Summary: China’s “White Emperor” (Baidi) is a 6th-generation stealth fighter mock-up designed to function as an integrated “space-air” platform.
Presented by state-owned AVIC, the mock-up suggests capabilities for supersonic speeds near the atmosphere’s edge.
-Its blended wing body and stealth-inspired features deviate from earlier Chinese renderings that mimicked U.S. designs like NGAD.
However, questions persist about its feasibility, including thermal management, propulsion, and radar stealth.
-The design’s vertical tails and sharp angles could compromise stealth compared to U.S. tailless concepts.
While intriguing, the “White Emperor” appears more aspirational than operational, showcasing China’s ambition but facing significant technical and strategic challenges.
China’s “White Emperor” Fighter: Can It Truly Rule Space and Air?
Could China’s “White Emperor” 6th-generation “space-air” stealth fighter indeed accomplish its stated aims?
This would seem highly questionable, given how difficult it is to operate in space with manned and even unmanned vehicles and drones able to quickly “transit” and maintain stealth from one radar aperture to another.
Regardless, the People’s Republic of China has unveiled an interesting 6th-gen stealth fighter mock-up called the “White Emperor” (Baidi), intended to function as an “integrated space-air” fighter ultimately.
The future jet will be able to travel at supersonic speeds near the boundary of the Earth’s atmosphere, according to an interesting essay from The National Interest.
China built the mock-up and presented by China’s state-owned Aviation Industry of China (AVIC).
Space-Air Fighter?
How realistic is this? The answer may be complex to discern as it depends upon thermal management, speed, propulsion, sensing, and the nature of the materials the aircraft ultimately uses.
However, the US Air Force is reportedly progressing with its X-37B spacecraft, a NASA project now being adapted for military missions, so some space-operating war platforms do not seem wholly beyond the realm of the possible.
The size, shape, and configuration of the design, however, are observable, and the mock-up contains a number of interesting elements.
Of course, one should recognize that a “mock-up” is more of an external design, as other aircraft elements may not exist or only exist in terms of early conceptual work.
The largest observable feature is its rounded, less angular, stealthy configuration, which shows a blended wing body, smoothly curved fuselage, and rectangular nosecone.
However, despite these stealth features, this White Emperor mock-up looks quite different from earlier renderings of published Chinese 6th-generation models.

PRC Mock-Ups & US Industry Images
Prior PRC mock-up designs of 6th-gen aircraft looked much more like US industry renderings of the Next Generation Air Dominance 6th-gen fighter, which had no tails or exhaust.
This design feature in the mock-up suggests that the PLA Air Force may have copied US specs or mirrored the structural approach, which appears to include efforts to maximize stealth by making the fuselage an almost entirely horizontal blended wing-body design.
The existing NGAD demonstrator, some of which have already flown but are not available to the public for security reasons, may look like some of the published industry renderings or offerings of NGAD, which features a “tailless” smooth, almost bomber-like shape.
Can an aircraft maneuver sufficiently and achieve needed air-dominance characteristics without tails or protruding angled structures?
That appears to have been the intent. However, very few actual details of NGAD are known, and the very existence of the platform is now entirely uncertain.
China’s Previous 6th-Gen Renderings
Nonetheless, China’s previously published 6th-gen mock-up made no mention of space capability and did indeed look virtually identical to US industry public renderings, meaning it had no tails, sharp edges, or angular structures.
Of course, an essentially flat or horizontal blended wing body, as seen with platforms such as a B-2 or B-21, is by design built without vertical edges, as protruding objects are likely to more quickly and easily generate a return rendering to enemy radar.
Should electromagnetic pings, traveling at the speed of light to bounce off of and return from an object, have few actual angled structures to bounce off of, the return signal is bound to be far less specific and accurate.
All of this is needed context concerning the “White Emperor” as the mock-up looks much less stealthy than other 6th-gen offerings. Not only does it have sharply protruding side wings, but it also has vertically built rear tails for aerial vectoring.
These sharp protruding edges are, of course, much more likely to generate a return signal to enemy radar showing the aircraft’s configuration. A B-2 or B-21, by contrast, is reported to appear as though it is a small bird to enemy radar and sensors.
US and Chinese renderings of 6th-gen fighter aircraft also feature an almost entirely horizontal platform, although, of course, designed much differently than a bomber.
It is unclear what the “White Emperor” might suggest about Chinese intent, however, it does appear less stealthy to a large extent.
Discussion of the mock-up introduces questions as to whether the Chinese have developed newer, more effective radar-absorbing materials or heat-signature management technology.
Is there a way to maintain and optimize stealth while still having sharp vertical structures on the fuselage?

France offered secret talks on Ukraine – Lavrov
Paris has proposed helping Moscow establish dialogue on the conflict without Kiev’s participation, the Russian foreign minister has said
France has repeatedly offered to help establish secret talks on the Ukraine conflict without Kiev’s direct participation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
Speaking to journalists at an end-of-year press conference on Thursday, Lavrov stated that French diplomats have approached the Russian side “through closed channels,” offering to let them “establish a dialogue on the Ukraine issue.”
According to the foreign minister, this was done without the involvement of the Ukrainian side. The minister noted that these signals from Parisseemed to violate the Western rule of “not a word about Ukraine without Ukraine.”(Zelensky demanded that.)
However, Lavrov went on to say that, while Russia does not mind holding these types of talks,France is also the primary initiatorof discussions about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine,is currently training Ukrainian troops, and has stated that it is necessary to “continue to hammer Russia” to ensure that Ukraine has a stronger negotiating position.
==“Such ambiguous behavior does not inspire a desire to take seriouslywhat is happening at the initiative of our French colleagues,” he said.
Nevertheless, Lavrov reiterated that Moscow remains open to discussions on how to resolve the Ukraine conflict, including with the incoming administration of US President-elect Donald Trump, but will not be satisfied with “empty talks.”
He stressed that Russia will not accept any proposals that include a ceasefire, arguing that it is a “road to nowhere” as it would only be used by Ukraine to regroup, receive more weapons from the West, and conduct further mobilization.
Moscow insists on “final legal agreements that will fix all the conditions for ensuring the security of Russia and the legitimate security interests of our neighbors,but in a context that will secure the impossibility of violating these agreements in an international legal manner,” Lavrov said.

So Lavrov just let Ukraine know that France has repeatedly want to talk to Russia without Zelensky knowing, I'm sure that will turn out well, kek. So are the EU countries afraid of Zelensky?

Killer whale mom who carried her dead baby for 17 days across 1,000 miles of ocean gives birth to new calf
By Haley Brown
Published Dec. 25, 2024, 6:37 p.m. ET
The bereaved whale mother who made headlines when she heartbreakingly grieved her dead baby for more than two weeks has given birth to a new calf, scientists said.
The mama orca, named J35 by researchers, was unable to let her calf go in 2018, carrying her baby’s lifeless body with her along a one-thousand-mile grief journey.
But last Friday, scientists spotted the devoted mom with a new female calf in the Puget Sound, according to a Facebook post from the Center for Whale Research.
By Monday scientists were confident the new little calf, called J61, belonged to J35.
A nature enthusiast and photographer was excited when they realized they had photographed the tiny dorsal fin of the newborn peaking out of the water, according to CNN.
“My first reaction to seeing the calf was complete shock. I was just looking through my photos to see who the whales were that passed close to the port side of the ferry I was on and noticed a much smaller dorsal on one of the photos,” the person told the news outlet.
“As I scrolled through the series I realized it was very tiny calf, much smaller than any of the known young ones in the group. Based on the size and color of the calf, I realized it was a new calf and traveling with J35, my spark whale, the whale that started my obsession,” they said.
The brand new baby will need help from her mom to survive the perilous first weeks of life for baby whales.
“Early life is always dangerous for new calves, with a very high mortality rate in the first year. J35 is an experienced mother, and we hope that she is able to keep J61 alive through these difficult early days,” the Facebook post from the Center for Whale Research said.
The calf was spotted being pushed around by her mom Tuesday and didn’t look lively, but the behavior of whale babies is not well understood, according to a post on X from the Orca Conservancy.
Scientists said access to salmon, the whales’ main food source, is imperative for the survival of the large mammals.
“Every single birth counts and these whales need enough fish to be able to support themselves and their calves,” the Center for Whale Research’s Facebook post said.
This is the second baby J35 has given birth to since she famously lost her other baby in 2018. In 2020 J35 was seen with another newborn.
The mother whale is part of a critically endangered pod of whales who live in the Pacific Northwest and roam the Pacific Ocean between Washington state and British Columbia.
Killer whales have strong social ties and continue to help their children even after they are fully grown, according to researchers.
As of December 2023, the J-pod of whales had 75 members, according to whale researchers who have been monitoring the pod of whales since the 1970s.

Space Junk or Treasure? Researchers Call for Preservation of Relics in Orbit
December 25, 2024
If the maxim for the conscientious camper is to Leave No Trace, anthropologists are arguing for a corresponding approach as humanity ventures out across the solar system.
Collecting the trash that homo sapiens litter in space may not always be feasible, they say, but we should at least record their presence and treat them as a heritage artifacts.
The need is all the more urgent as the number and longevity of our missions to Mars increase.
So runs the argument of “The emerging archaeological record of Mars”, an article published on December 16 in Nature Astronomy by researchers from the universities of Kansas City, New Mexico State, Cornell, North Carolina State, and the Spanish Astrobiology Center.
These space artifacts include human-operated probes, landers (spacecraft that land), rovers, netting, parachutes, thermal blankets, and helicopters, such as Ingenuity, which flew more than 70 times over Mars during NASA’s 2020 mission.
Archaeologists should also record non-portable artifacts, such as human footprints and trackways made by vehicles.
Put together, the researchers argue, these represent humanity’s space heritage, one linked to our species’ evolutionary history of migration that leads out of Africa to the moon and beyond.
“As we move forward during the next era of human exploration, we hope to work together to ensure sustainable and ethical human colonization, that protects cultural resources in tandem with future space exploration,” the authors wrote.
Mankind’s archaeological record on Mars began in 1971 when the USSR’s Mars 2 and Mars 3 crashed on the surface of the red planet along with their PrOP-M rovers.
Success was mixed and extremely short-lived; hard landings and a planet-wide sandstorm didn’t help. In 1976, the Americans successfully landed Viking 1 on Mars and operated it for more than six years.
Chinese, Japanese, European, and Indian missions to Mars have followed and over the past 50 years researchers estimate 22,000 pounds of human-discarded objects are on the planet.
To date, most of the attention paid to these space artifacts—which we shouldn’t call “space trash or galactic litter,” the authors note—has focused on their potential impact on future missions by polluting the ecosystems of Mars.
While these concerns are important, the artifacts should also be considered objects of cultural heritage and the paper calls for greater cooperation between planetary scientists and archaeologists to document and manage the resources.
While the United Nations keeps track of objects launched into space, at present, the authors wrote, there “exists no systematic strategy for documenting, mapping and keeping track of all heritage on Mars.”
The thinking runs that Mars represents our species’ first exploration of another planet and any destruction of this record would be permanent.

Hackers Used Christmas Jumpers To Attack European Space Agency Shop
Dec 26, 2024,07:15am EST
Cybersecurity experts Sansec BV posted to the Bluesky social media platform, Dec. 23, to report that “Foreign espionage campaign launched via Christmas sweaters" in one of the more unusual cybersecurity announcements of 2024.
A web application security specialist, Source Defense Research, took to X and confirmed that a live Magecart attack had taken place against the European Space Agency online store. Here’s what we know so far.
If you fancied getting hold of some European Space Agency merchandise as a post-Christmas treat, then you are out of luck it would seem.
Visit the ESA store currently and you’ll see a notice informing you that the site is “temporarily out of orbit for some exciting renovations.”
While the humorous puns continue with visitors being asked to please fly by later, the real reason behind the downtime appears to be far more serious.
The X posting from Source Defense Research claimed that, while the ESA space shop site follows the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, PCIDSS 4.0, the hackers were able to use the fact that the shop employed Stripe to execute “ a double-entry technique, faking Stripe's page on the ESA site.”
It would appear that a fake payment page was inserted into the process, served upon from the ESA shop and for all intents and purposes looking like the genuine article.
The Source Defense Research posting included screenshots showing the malicious payment page alongside the real one, but employing a domain-spoofing technique with a different top-level domain used.
I have reached out to both the European Space Agency and Stripe for a statement.
In the meantime, however, it has been reported that ESA has “clarified that the store operates on third-party infrastructure, and the agency does not manage its data,” so the extent to which this hack impacts ESA data itself is likely to be minimal, if at all.
Instead, it looks like it was most likely an opportunistic criminal attack with a pure profit motive.

Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in Lab Using Vibrating Molecules
25 December 2024
ByDavid Nield
Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of cancer cells.
Aminocyanine molecules are already used in bioimaging as synthetic dyes. Commonly used in low doses to detect cancer, they stay stable in water and are very good at attaching themselves to the outside of cells.
The research team from Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas, said their approach is a marked improvement over another kind of cancer-killing molecular machine previously developed, called Feringa-type motors, which could also break the structures of problematic cells.
"It is a whole new generation of molecular machines that we call molecular jackhammers," said chemist James Tour from Rice University, when the results were published in December 2023.
"They are more than one million times faster in their mechanical motion than the former Feringa-type motors, and they can be activated with near-infrared light rather than visible light."
The use of near-infrared light is important because it enables scientists to get deeper into the body. Cancer in bones and organs could potentially be treated without needing surgery to get to the cancer growth.
In tests on cultured, lab-grown cancer cells, the molecular jackhammer method scored a 99 percent hit rate at destroying the cells. The approach was also tested on mice with melanoma tumors, and half the animals became cancer-free.
The structure and chemical properties of aminocyanine molecules mean they stay in sync with the right stimulus – such as near-infrared light. When in motion, the electrons inside the molecules form what's known as plasmons, collectively vibrating entities that drive movement across the whole of the molecule.
"What needs to be highlighted is that we've discovered another explanation for how these molecules can work," said chemist Ciceron Ayala-Orozco from Rice University.
"This is the first time a molecular plasmon is utilized in this way to excite the whole molecule and to actually produce mechanical action used to achieve a particular goal – in this case, tearing apart cancer cells' membrane."
The plasmons have an arm on one side, helping to connect the molecules to the cancer cell membranes while the movements of the vibrations bash them apart. It's still early days for the research, but these initial findings are very promising.
This is also the kind of straightforward, biomechanical technique that cancer cells would find it hard to evolve some sort of blockade against. Next, the researchers are looking at other types of molecules that can be used similarly
"This study is about a different way to treat cancer using mechanical forces at the molecular scale," said Ayala-Orozco.
The research was published in Nature Chemistry.

Has CNES Opened the Door for a European Space Station?
December 26, 2024
French space agency CNES has announced that it intends to be an anchor customer for a new commercial microgravity service.
In a 19 December call for proposalsl, CNES revealed that it intended to explore purchasing microgravity services for its payloads aboard platforms from up to three industrial partners.
The proposed platforms must support payloads ranging from 1 to 30 kilograms, with volumes from 1U (a 10-centimetre cube) to one cubic metre, in both pressurised and non-pressurised environments, for mission durations of one week to six months.
The platforms will also be required to offer Earth return services. In addition to the baseline requirements, the agency has outlined a specific test case that involves a five-kilogram experiment housed in a 3U-sized volume, operating under microgravity conditions for three months.
This technical outline seems to favour a capsule or Space Rider-like spacecraft rather than a full space station.
However, if it serves as an agency-backed commercial stepping stone for microgravity services, it could lay the groundwork for a future European space station programme.
The Exploration Company and its Nyx spacecraft appear to be well-positioned to secure one of the three spots. Thales Alenia Space has two different vehicles it could propose to secure a contract.
The first is the currently unnamed capsule that the company is developing to fulfil its ESA LEO Cargo Return Service contract.
The second is the Space Rider-derived REV1 spacecraft that Thales is developing alongside Space Cargo Unlimited.
The Last Time a European Space Station Was Proposed
In January 1984, the United States invited international partners to participate in the International Space Station (ISS) programme.
In response, ESA submitted a three-element proposal called Columbus that included the Attached Pressurised Module (APM), which later became the ISS Columbus module, the scrapped Polar Platform (PPF), and the Man-Tended Free Flyer (MTFF).
While later scrapped, the PPF and MTFF represented Europe’s first attempt at reusable orbital platforms, one uncrewed and the other crewed.
The MTFF station, which would have been capable of supporting crews, would have been around 12 metres long with a diameter of 4.4 metres and a wingspan of 47 metres when its retractable solar array was deployed.
It would have been served either by the proposed Hermes spaceplane or via the ISS. MTFF was expected to be the first element of an envisioned European Space Station (ESS).
In its most basic configuration, the ESS would have included an Interconnect Element which would connect the MTFF Pressurised Module to a Habitation/Control Module.
At the ESA Ministerial Council meeting in Granada, Spain, in November 1992, amid rising development costs and declining support, member states voted to cancel both the MTFF and Hermes programmes.

THE HILL- The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president. This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. “No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” This disability can be removed by a two-thirds vote in each House.
Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government. The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming. The matter has been decided in three separate forums, two of which were fully contested with the active participation of Trump’s counsel.

Running Chicken Nebula glows in gorgeous new image from Very Large Telescope in Chile
December 26, 2024
A new telescope image reveals a distant cosmic gas cloud that looks like a curious chicken with his head tilted in wonder of the universe.
The image, taken by the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, captures an emission nebula — a bright cloud of ionized gas that emits its own light — located about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the southern Centaurus constellation.
Formally, the nebula is known as IC 2872 or Gum 40; however, it is also playfully referred to as the Running Chicken Nebula, according to a statement from the ESO.
The wispy, billowing clouds of gas that make up nebulas can take on many shapes that appear different to viewers.
One interpretation of IC 2872 is that it resembles the head of a chicken, seen in the lower right of the image with its head angled upward.
A bright region of star formation appears to be a glowing beak, from which darker clouds extend like a pea comb to the top of the chicken’s head.
This nebula was first cataloged in 1888 by the Danish astronomer John Louis Emil Dreyer.
His research led to the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), which was initially an index of 7,840 astronomical objects such as galaxies, star clusters and emission nebulas.
Dreyer later added two more Index Catalogues (IC), comprising 5,386 celestial objects. At that time, this nebula was referred to as IC 2872.
This catalog is still used today, having been most recently updated in 2019 with an additional 13,957 new objects, according to the statement.
The moniker Gum 40 comes from the work of the Australian astronomer Colin Stanley Gum. In 1955 he established the Gum catalog of 84 emission nebulas in the southern sky, including this one.
"As telescopes and instruments keep getting better, more and more deep-sky objects are discovered, so the lists and catalogues will never be complete," ESO officials said in the statement releasing the new image on Dec. 9.
Emission nebulae like IC 2872 form when the intense radiation of stars within or near the nebula energizes the surrounding gas and causes it to glow in various colors based on the type of gas present.
Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, which is why nebulas are hotbeds for new star formation.
There are numerous young, bright blue stars scattered across this new VLT image, including one that appears to mark the chicken's right eye.

SpaceX's big year: The new records and feats Elon Musk's space company achieved in 2024
December 26, 2024
SpaceX had a pretty good 2024.
Elon Musk's company broke its own record for most launches in a single year, continued pushing the boundaries of rocket reuse and made serious strides toward getting Starship, its next-generation megarocket, up and running.
Oh, and Musk has apparently entered the inner circle of President-elect Donald Trump, wielding political power like he never has before. Here's a brief rundown of SpaceX's very busy year.
Shattering launch records and Starship flights
SpaceX launched 98 orbital missions in 2023, a new record for the company at the time — but it left that mark in the dust this year.
The company's orbital tally in 2024, as of Dec. 23, is 131 — more than half the global total for the year.
The vast majority of the SpaceX liftoffs this year — 128 of them — were performed by its workhorse Falcon 9, with the powerful Falcon Heavy responsible for the other two.
And Starship launched four times as well, on suborbital test flights that lifted off in March, June, October and November of this year.
The vehicle made serious progress on these trial launches. On the most recent three, for instance, both Starship elements — the Super Heavy first-stage booster and Ship upper stage — survived reentry to Earth's atmosphere and made it all the way to the planet's surface.
And on Flight 5, which lifted off on Oct. 13, Super Heavy came back safely to its launch tower, which grabbed the booster with its "chopstick" arms in a move that seemed like a scene from science fiction.
This is the Starship plan over the long haul, by the way: SpaceX wants to catch both Super Heavy and Ship back at the launch tower, a strategy that will make inspection and reflight of the megarocket quicker and more efficient.
The Starship progress this year is important, because SpaceX and NASA have a relatively tight timeline for the rocket: It's the crewed lander for the agency's Artemis 3 moon mission, which is currently scheduled to lift off in mid-2027.
And SpaceX has big plans for the megarocket beyond that effort. The company sees Starship's combination of power and full reusability as the breakthrough that will make the settlement of Mars — a long-held dream of Musk's — economically viable.
Speaking of reuse, SpaceX set a new Falcon 9 record this year: On Dec. 4, the company launched a mission that marked the 24th flight for that particular rocket's first stage. (The Falcon 9 is not fully reusable; its upper stage is expendable.)
That won't be the end of it, however; if history is any guide, SpaceX will likely keep pushing that record forward, to 25 flights and beyond.
A big Starlink milestone
Four of this year's Falcon 9 missions sent astronauts to orbit — including Polaris Dawn in September, which went farther from Earth than any crewed flight since the Apollo era and conducted the first-ever private spacewalk.
But most of the 2024 Falcon 9 launches — nearly 70% of them — were devoted to building out Starlink, SpaceX's broadband constellation in low Earth orbit, which currently consists of more than 6,800 satellites.
A small subset of this total — about 350 spacecraft — are capable of beaming service directly to smartphones. But that number is significant, as Musk noted shortly after a key Dec. 4 Starlink launch (not the same one that set the Falcon 9 reflight record).
"The first Starlink satellite direct-to-cell phone constellation is now complete," the billionaire entrepreneur said via X, the social media platform that he owns, on Dec. 5.
"This will enable unmodified cellphones to have internet connectivity in remote areas. Bandwidth per beam is only ~10Mb, but future constellations will be much more capable."
Elon Musk and Trump get close
Musk was a big backer of President-elect Donald Trump during this election cycle, ultimately spending about $250 million — and a great deal of time on X — to aid Trump's successful presidential run.
The two are apparently now quite close, and Trump has tapped Musk to co-lead a new advisory committee tasked with helping slash regulations and cut government spending.
This new relationship may not fundamentally change anything. SpaceX was already a powerful and important player in government circles, after all; it's the top U.S. launch provider and routinely lofts key national-security satellites.
But having greater access to the halls of power certainly won't hurt Musk's various companies, SpaceX included; the situation poses conflict-of-interest concerns, as a number of people have pointed out. And it's another part of SpaceX's very eventful, and very accomplished, 2024.

Liberals Still Argue That Trump Should Be Banned
December 26, 2024

First, they said he should go to jail over it, then they said he shouldn’t be allowed on the ballot, and now, liberal “scholars” contend in The Hill that Congress can still stop him. Despite Donald Trump’s resounding victory in November, Evan Davis, former editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review, and David Schulte, former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, are still demanding that the president-elect be prevented from taking the White House.
Pointing to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and despite the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. Anderson, the pair argues that Trump was disqualified from holding the presidency because he supported an “insurrection.”
Their central argument rests on the clear language of Section 3, which prohibits anyone who has engaged in insurrection against the Constitution from holding office. The amendment explicitly states: “No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States … who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Davis and Schulte highlight three authoritative sources supporting the claim that Trump engaged in insurrection. First, during Trump’s second impeachment trial in January 2021, he was charged with “incitement of insurrection.” Although the Senate fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict, a bipartisan majority still voted in favor of his guilt. Second, a Colorado court, after a thorough five-day hearing, found by “clear and convincing evidence” that Trump engaged in insurrection. While the Supreme Court later ruled that states lack the authority to enforce Section 3 for federal officeholders, it notably refrained from challenging the Colorado court’s factual conclusions. Third, the bipartisan House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack presented extensive evidence, much of it from Republican witnesses, showing Trump actively worked to overturn the 2020 election and incited violence against Congress.
Addressing the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. Anderson, Davis and Schulte emphasize that the Court’s assertion about the need for congressional legislation to enforce Section 3 was dicta—non-binding commentary that lacks legal weight. They argue that Congress alone holds the constitutional authority to count Electoral College votes, making this a political question not subject to judicial review. Under the Electoral Count Act, objections can be raised against electoral votes not “regularly given,” and votes for a constitutionally disqualified candidate, they assert, meet this standard.
This isn’t the first time that liberals have tried to thwart the will of the people. Over the summer, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig and leftwing professor of constitutional law at Harvard, Laurence H. Tribe, laid out the framework for how Democrats may attempt to block Donald Trump from being on the ballot in 2024.
Congressional liberals in power aren’t the only ones Trump may need to worry about. Earlier in the year,New Conservative Post revealed that leftists in the Pentagon also have a plan to take away some of the president’s power, something that Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Defense, may have to deal with personally.

Medvedev addresses education problem with migrant children
A lack of Russian language proficiency has created obstacles for foreign students and schools, according to the former president
Thousands of migrant children studying in Russian schools have a bad command of the Russian language, former President Dmitry Medvedev stated on Thursday. He underscored the importance of introducing mandatory language tests.
Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, made the remarks at a meeting on improving migration legislation.
He said that the prolonged stay of migrant families in the country creates a serious burden on the social sector, as it means that, among other things, their children must attend Russian schools.
Citing data by the Ministry of Education, Medvedev said thatmore than 200,000 children of migrantsare currently studying in Russia.
“Unfortunately, a significant part, some 40%, have insufficient proficiency in Russian to master educational programs, notably basic knowledge,” Medvedev stressed.
He previously argued that this negatively impacts the general level of education in the country and should be stopped.
It is important to work out in detail all issues related to the mandatory language testing of migrant children, according to the former president.
New rules requiring the children of migrants to undergo mandatory Russian language tests were unveiled earlier this month. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said on Tuesday that Russia will start checking the children of foreign nationals who enroll in Russian schools for their basic knowledge of the national language starting next spring. This is when most Russian schools start accepting admission applications.
Under a new law passed by the State Duma,those who fail the tests will be barred from attending regular schools. The language tests will be free of charge.
President Vladimir Putin earlier supported the idea of introducing language tests for the children of migrants, saying the legislationwas “understandable,” because “how can a child be taught at school if he does not speak the language?”
Both Putin and Medvedev have acknowledged migration as an acute issue. According to Medvedev, thereare cases when some foreign nationals “do not work or study anywhere, and, in fact, do not want to comply with the norms of Russian legislation,” which could ultimately lead to theformation of “ethnic enclaves,” creating fertile ground for the spread of extremism and terrorism.
Russia’s Investigative Committee revealed in October thatmigrants had committed more than 26,000 crimes since the start of the year.The number ofviolations by undocumented migrants have tripled, from 2,880 in 2023 to 8,059 this year.
According to the Interior Ministry,there are currently some 6.2 million foreign citizens living in the country, of whom an estimated 740,000 are present illegally.

Azerbaijan Airlines flight 'shot down by Russia' after being mistaken for drone
26/12/2024 - 15:43
An Azerbaijan Airlines passenger jet that crashed in Kazakhstan on Wednesday killing 38 people was shot down by a Russian air defence system, according to four sources in Azerbaijan familiar with the investigation.
Flight J2-8243 came down near the city of Aktau after diverting from its scheduled route from Baku to Grozny.
The aircraft had strayed hundreds of miles off course, crossing the Caspian Sea before crashing in a fireball that was captured on video by horrified onlookers.
The incident occurred in an area where Moscow has recently been using air defence systems against Ukrainian drone strikes.
Footage of the wreckage showed suspicious holes in the fuselage consistent with anti-aircraft fire damage. Of the 67 passengers and crew aboard the Embraer 190 aircraft, 29 people survived the Christmas Day crash.
The plane had initially departed from Baku airport at 7:55am, destined for the Russian city of Grozny in Chechnya. Flight tracking data showed the aircraft disappeared from radar whilst flying over Dagestan along the Caspian Sea coast.
It later reappeared off course and flying low above the water near western Kazakhstan before the devastating impact.
Dramatic footage captured the moment the plane hit the ground, bursting into flames and breaking into several parts. Twenty-two survivors are being treated in hospital, with seven in serious condition.
According to an Azerbaijani source familiar with the investigation, preliminary findings indicate the aircraft was struck by a Russian Pantsir-S air defence system.
The plane's communications were reportedly paralysed by electronic warfare systems as it approached Grozny.
"No one claims that it was done on purpose. However, taking into account the established facts, Baku expects the Russian side to confess to the shooting down of the Azerbaijani aircraft," the source told Reuters.
Flight data revealed the aircraft transmitted erratic signals up to 75 minutes before the crash, suggesting the crew had lost partial flight control.
The plane experienced GPS interference, with no data transmitted between 04.25 and 04.37 UTC.
Aviation security firm Osprey Flight Solutions noted that Russian regions of Dagestan and Chechnya had been targeted by Ukrainian military drones this month.
The Russian defence ministry had reported downing 59 Ukrainian drones over several regions earlier on Christmas Day. Flight operations were temporarily suspended at Russia's Kazan Airport due to drone activity.
Nato has called for a thorough investigation into the crash, with spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah stating on X: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims of Azerbaijan Airlines flight J28243."

Award frame concealing Ukraine-sent bomb intercepted in Moscow – media (VIDEO)
Russian security services have reportedly foiled an attack on the leader of a drone training project
Russian security services have prevented a bombing attempt targeting Mikhail Filippov, the leader of the volunteer project Archangel, which trains military personnel in drone operations, TASS has reported.
A courier attempted to deliver a frame for an award letter containing a hidden explosive deviceto Filippov in Moscow, according to the report, citing Archangel project manager Vitaly Romanov.
The operation unfolded under the surveillance of Russian security service agents, who immediately detained both the courier and the bomb’s handler. The device was defused safely, and no injuries were reported, according to Romanov.
“The attempt to deliver a bomb disguised as a commemorative certificate was stopped under the direct control of security officers,” Romanov told TASS, adding that the attack was masterminded by Ukrainian intelligence services.
Established in 2022 shortly after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Archangel focuses on training personnel in drone operation and developing unmanned aerial systems.
Earlier on Thursday, the Federal Security Service (FSB) reported preventing additional assassination attempts targeting high-ranking Russian military officials and their families.
The FSB attributed the plots to Ukrainian intelligence services, alleging that the agents intended to escape to Ukraine and eventually to an EU country following the remote detonation of the explosives.
Four Russian citizens were detained in connection with the plots. Among the incidents described, one involved a bomb disguised as a folder intended for use against a Defense Ministry official, while another targeted a military officer’s vehicle with an explosive device disguised as a power bank.
Authorities have also uncovered hidden caches in Moscow Region containing explosives intended for similar attacks. Investigations into these incidents are ongoing.
Since February 2022, a number of public figures supportive of Moscow’s position on the Ukraine conflict have been killed in assassinations attributed to Kiev’s intelligence services.
Last week, General Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces, and his assistant died in a bomb attack in Moscow. The suspect in that attack was apprehended shortly after the incident.

Dec. 26, 2024
In 1993, then-Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa expressed his skepticism about China's democratization in a summit with then-U.S. President Bill Clinton, according to Japanese diplomatic documents declassified by the Foreign Ministry Thursday.
He expressed this view when Clinton asked him about the future of China in their meeting in Washington on April 16, 1993, according to the documents.
Miyazawa also called on the U.S. government to continue to accord most-favored-nation trade status to China.
Clinton, when running in the 1992 presidential election, criticized as weak the attitude of George H.W. Bush, the U.S. president at the time, toward China.
After China's bloody crackdown on Tiananmen Square protestors in 1989, Clinton took the position that it was necessary for the country to improve its human rights record in order for it to continue to receive most-favored-nation treatment.
At the summit, Clinton asked Miyazawa what he thought of China.
Miyazawa replied, "If China's economy develops, there will be plenty of room to show military ambitions."
"There is a theory that democracy will take root as living standards rise, but I am skeptical," he told Clinton.
Miyazawa also said that China would not be a threat for the time being but that it had the potential to become one.
Around the time of the summit, China was embarking on a full-scale reform and opening-up policy. While there was a focus on how Western countries would treat China, there was also a growing expectation that economic development would lead to Beijing's democratization.
Miyazawa's statement showed he did not have such an expectation.
Meanwhile, Miyazawa told Clinton, "I am in favor of granting the most-favored-nation treatment to China without any conditions. It is also important for the development of Hong Kong."
In the end, the Clinton administration extended the status to China conditionally for one year in May 1993 before renewing it unconditionally the following year.
The United States' treatment of China as a most-favored nation was discussed again at a U.S.-Japan summit held on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Tokyo in July 1993, during which Miyazawa continued to advocate the treatment. "It's done everywhere in the world," he said, according to his memoirs published in 2005.
The ministry regularly declassifies diplomatic records after 30 years. On Thursday, it made public 11 files from 1993.

So Japan was responsible for China's most favored nation.

EPA approves pilot project to make road out of radioactive material in Florida
BY RACHEL FRAZIN 12/23/24 05:11
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a pilot project that would allow a company to build a small road made out of a radioactive fertilizer byproduct — drawing environmentalist ire.
The Biden administration’s approval allows Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC to construct a road made of phosphogypsum on its property in New Wales, Fla.
Phosphogypsum contains radium, which decays to form radon gas, both of which are radioactive and can cause cancer, according to the agency.
In the past, the agency has raised concerns about the use of this material in road building.It said in 1992 that use of phosphogypsum in road construction created risks for both construction workers and also anyone who later builds a home where the phosphogypsum road had once been.
The agency now says that members of the public are not expected to come into contact with the road.
However, Mosaic, which will build the road, has described the effort as part of a pilot project that will “demonstrate the range of … road construction designs.” It’s not clear if additional road construction will follow — though doing so would likely require further approvals.
Ragan Whitlock, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a written statement that the EPA’s decision was “mind-boggling.”
“That dramatically increases the potential for harm to our road crews and water quality,” Whitlock said. “The EPA has bowed to political pressure from the phosphate industry and paved the way for this dangerous waste to be used in roads all over the country.”
In 2020, under the Trump administration, the EPA approved the use of phosphogypsum in government road construction.
That approval was withdrawn under the Biden administration, which described it as a broad, generalized request. It’s not clear whether the incoming Trump administration will seek to reinstate it.
Typically, phosphogypsum is held in “stacks” as part of an attempt to limit public exposure, though this approach has also spurred environmental concerns — particularly in states like Florida that are prone to storms.
In approving the road plan, the EPA said that it was “as protective of human health as placement in a stack.”

New Hampshire: Trump migrant deportations could threaten states’ agricultural economies
BY: NADA HASSANEIN - DECEMBER 26, 2024 5:00 AM
If President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his pledge to deport millions of immigrants, it could upend the economies of states where farming and other food-related industries are crucial – and where labor shortages abound.
Immigrants make up about two-thirds of the nation’s crop farmworkers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, androughly 2 in 5 of them are not legally authorized to work in the United States.
Agricultural industries such as meatpacking, dairy farms, and poultry and livestock farms also rely heavily on immigrants.
“We have five to six employees that do the work that nobody else will do. We wouldn’t survive without them,” said Bruce Lampman, who owns Lampman Dairy Farm, in Bruneau, Idaho. His farm, which has been in the family three decades, has 350 cows producing some 26,000 pounds of milk a day.
“My business and every agriculture business in the U.S. will be crippled if they want to get rid of everybody who does the work,” said Lampman, adding that his workers are worried about what’s to come.
Anita Alves Pena, a Colorado State University professor of economics who studies immigration, noted that many agricultural employers already can’t find enough laborers. Without farm subsidies or other protections to make up for the loss of immigrant workers, she said, the harm to state economies could be significant.
“Farmers across the country, producers in a lot of different parts, are often talking about labor shortages – and that’s even with the current status quo of having a fairly high percentage of unauthorized individuals in the workforce,” Pena said. “A policy like this, if it was not coupled with something else, would exacerbate that.”
Employers have a hard time hiring enough farm laborers because such workers generally are paid low wages for arduous work.
In addition to hiring immigrant laborers who are in the country illegally, agricultural employers rely on the federal H-2A visa program. H-2A visas usually are for seasonal work, often for about six to 10 months. However, they can be extended for up to three years before a worker must return to their home country.
Employers must pay H-2A workers a state-specific minimum wage and provide no-cost transportation and housing. Still, employers’ applications for H-2A visas have soared in the past 18 years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a trend reflecting the shortage of U.S.-born laborers willing to do the work. The number ofH-2A positions has surged from just over 48,000 in 2005 to more than 378,000 in 2023.
But agricultural employers that operate year-round, such as poultry, dairy, and livestock producers, can’t use the seasonal visa to fill gaps, according to the USDA.
Farmers also employ foreign nationals who have “temporary protected status” under a 1990 law that allows immigrants to remain if the U.S. has determined their home countries are unsafe because of violence or other reasons.There are about 1.2 million people in the U.S. under the programor eligible for it, from countries including El Salvador, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Lebanon, and Ukraine. Many have been here for decades, and Trump has threatened to end the program.
Support for the program
Immigration advocates want a pathway for H-2A workers to gain permanent legal status, and agricultural trade organizations are pushing for an expansion of the H-2A program to include year-round operations.
The National Milk Producers Federation says it’s too early to say how it would cope with mass deportations under the Trump administration. But the group states it “strongly supports efforts to pass agriculture labor reform that provides permanent legal status to current workers and their families and gives dairy farmers access to a workable guestworker program.”
Immigrants make up 51% of labor at dairy farms across states, and farms that employ immigrants produce nearly 80% of the nation’s milk supply, according to the organization.
“Foreign workers are important to the success of U.S. dairy, and we will work closely with members of Congress and federal officials to show the importance of foreign workers to the dairy industry and farm communities,” Jaime Castaneda, the group’s executive vice president for policy development and strategy, wrote in an email...

The "official record" will reflect that Joe Biden served as the 46th president of the United States between 2021 and 2025 (assuming he lives to see the new year), which is why you should never believe anything you read in a history book. The American people know the truth. Sleepy Joe has been scientifically dead for at least two years, if not longer. His body crippled by rigor mortis, his brain the color and consistency of fecal slurry. That's why we're giving this coveted Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year award to the person who has actually been running the country this whole time: Jill Biden, America's desperate housewife.

Milei Unveils Ambitious Nuclear Plan To Position Argentina As Global Energy Player
Tyler Durden's Photo
BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, DEC 26, 2024 - 05:45 AM
In a bold move to transform Argentina into a global energy powerhouse,President Javier Milei introduced the "Argentine Nuclear Plan" on Friday, with the goal of harnessing nuclear energy as a core component of the nation's future. The plan outlines the construction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), compact nuclear units designed to provide power to commercial sectors and other large-scale operations.
"After years of stagnation, nuclear energy is making a powerful comeback, and we are determined to lead, not follow," Milei declared confidently, emphasizing the country's abundant natural resources, skilled workforce, and Patagonia's cold climate, which he described as ideal for housing energy-intensive technologies like AI. "Nuclear energy is the only source that is sufficiently efficient, abundant and rapidly scalable to cope with the development of our civilization," he added.
The project will have the backing of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi joining Milei and his key advisor, Demian Reidel, during the plan's official launch.Reidel stressed that the increasing demand for energy, particularly from AI advancements, makes nuclear power crucial to Argentina's energy strategy, jpost.com reports.
The first phase of the plan will focus on the construction of a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) at the Atucha Nuclear Power Plant. The reactor is expected to help meet rising energy demands and alleviate power shortages throughout Argentina.
Reidel emphasized the significant contribution of Argentine nuclear engineers to the initiative. "We will do so with 100% Argentine technology, developed by our nuclear engineers, who are recognized among the best in the world," he stated, according to Rosario3. He added that the plan "will give us energy sovereignty, will allow us to export this technology to the world," and assured that "blackouts will be just a bad memory," according to La Nación.
In the second phase of the initiative, Argentina aims to capitalize on its untapped uranium reserves to meet domestic needs and establish itself as a leading exporter of nuclear fuel. The government envisions positioning Argentina as a global leader in the peaceful use of atomic energy, while also advancing its aspirations to become an international hub for AI innovation.
Currently, Argentina operates three nuclear power facilities—Atucha I, Atucha II, and Embalse—which together supply around 9% of the nation's electricity consumption, according to government data from July 2023.
The announcement comes as Argentina has officially emerged from a severe recession, a milestone that marks a major success for Milei and his bold economic reforms. According to data from Argentina's statistics agency, GDP grew 3.9% in the July-to-September quarter compared to the previous three months. This growth was driven by robust performances in agriculture, mining, and consumer spending, signaling a recovery in key sectors of the economy, the Financial Post reports.

The American people know the truth. Sleepy Joe has been scientifically dead for at least two years, if not longer. His body crippled by rigor mortis, his brain the color and consistency of fecal slurry. That's why we're giving this coveted WashingtonFree BeaconMan of the Year award to the person who has actually been running the country this whole time: Jill Biden==, America's desperate housewife.
In fact, we're going to call her Dr. Jill Biden from now on. At first it was fun to mock her demand for the title on account of a worthless education degree. But considering the actual experience she's accumulated in the field of home health care these past few years—giving sponge baths, changing bedpans, and administering the military-grade narcotics that allowed our nominal leader to present as semi-coherent in public settings—we feel she's earned it. Caring for a spouse with severe dementia is never easy, even for the vast majority of us who aren't secretly in charge of the world's largest economy and commanding its most powerful military, not to mention having to put up with a crackhead stepson who once called you a "selfish silly entitled c—t" and "vindictive moron" who "wouldn't survive one class in a[n] ivy graduate program."
We certainly don't approve of the way Dr. Jill has been leading the country these past four years, but we're not even mad. We're amazed that she managed to pull it off under the circumstances. Game respect game.
She achieved a level of absolute power that Hillary Clinton—the ice queen of ruthless ambition herself—could only dream of. We're a little creeped out by Sleepy Joe's comments about the "great sex" he's having, considering he probably lacks the capacity to legally consent, but we're willing to give Jill the benefit of the doubt. We would never kink-shame a commander in chief.
It's only a matter of time before Ivanka Trump (or Nancy Mace, or the Hawk Tuah girl, or Sam Alito's wife) is sworn in to become what ignorant experts will describe as "our first woman president." We'll be elated, obviously, but we won't be fooled.The Free Beacon will never forget Dr. Jill's historic service to this country, even though basically any man could have done a better job. And if she decides to plot a path back to power, she will have an esteemed Free Beacon Man of the Year award to point to on the campaign trail.

Israel Conducts Huge Airstrikes Targeting Houthis At International Airport & Across Yemen
Israel has launched major aerial attacks on Yemen on Thursday, just on heels of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to destroy Houthi infrastructure and hunt down its leaders. "I have instructed our forces to destroy the infrastructure of Houthis because anyone who tries to harm us will be struck with full force," Netanyahu told parliament, following a Houthi ballistic missile strike on Tel Aviv Saturday.
"We will continue to crush the forces of evil with strength and ingenuity, even if it takes time," Netanyahu has said of the new offensive over the skies of Yemen. The Saturday attack incident had wounded 16 Israelis.

Moscow's 4 airports closed temporarily for unspecified security reasons
Thu, December 26, 2024 at 9:01 AM PST
Russian authorities on Thursday closed all four of Moscow’s airports, plus a fifth one in a city about 100 miles southwest of the country’s capital, citing unspecified safety concerns.
The five airports were “temporarily not accepting or sending flights,” according to a statement from Russia’s aviation authority, Rosaviatsia.
“To ensure the safety of civil aircraft flights, temporary restrictions have been introduced on the operation of Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Zhukovsky and Kaluga airports,” Rosaviatsia said in a post on Telegram.
All four of Moscow airports reopened after being briefly closed, with the fifth airport, in Kaluga, reopening later on Thursday afternoon.
Officials did not give an immediate or precise reason for the closures.
“Aircraft crews, air traffic controllers and airport services take all necessary measures to ensure flight safety — this is the top priority,” the official statement posted to Telegram said.
Nearly two years after President Vladimir Putin invaded Russia’s smaller neighbor, Ukraine has pushed the war into Russia.
On Thursday, air raid sirens sounded in the Oryol region and in Sevastopol in Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine after invading in 2014.
Sirens were also reported in the Russian city of Taganrog, located in Rostov, which borders Ukraine, local authorities said in a post to Telegram.
Two Ukrainian missiles were shot down in the Kursk region with no damage or casualties, according to a post on the Kursk region Telegram channel, after it was announced that the five Russian airports had been shut down.
A third Ukrainian missile was shot down in Kursk shortly after Moscow’s airports reopened, officials said.
This comes a month after Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow since the full-scale war began.
The airports temporary closures come on the same day that the Kremlin warned against speculating what may have caused an Azerbaijan Airlines flight to crash, killing 38 of the 67 people on board, after an aviation expert said evidence indicated that a Russian anti-missile battery may have brought down the passenger plane.

Biden Pledges More Arms To Ukraine After Christmas Strikes
President Joe Biden on Christmas Day said he has directed the Pentagon to continue its “surge of weapons deliveries to Ukraine,” following a wave of Russian air attacks on Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure early Christmas morning.
“The purpose of this outrageous attack was to cut off the Ukrainian people’s access to heat and electricity during winter and to jeopardize the safety of its grid,” Biden said in a statement.
“Let me be clear: the Ukrainian people deserve to live in peace and safety, and the United States and the international community must continue to stand with Ukraine until it triumphs over Russia’s aggression.”
The president said that the United States will “continue to work tirelessly” to back Ukraine against Russian forces in the ongoing war.

PDW to Supply C100 Small Drones for US Army
December 26, 2024
Performance Drone Works (PDW) has received more than $15.3 million in contracts to deliver its proprietary C100 small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) to the US Army.
The drones will support the force’s posture across high-profile theaters, according to the Alabama-based company, with most to be distributed across the Indo-Pacific, European, and Central Command areas of responsibility.
The “game-changing” capabilities are expected to provide medium-range reconnaissance and tactical air support.
“The C100 drone is setting a new standard for battlefield agility and operational impact, equipping Soldiers with the ability to conduct missions autonomously without external fire support,” PDW Co-Founder and CEO Ryan Gury stated.
“We are honored to support the Army’s critical objectives and proud to deliver a solution that enables the maneuver force with decentralized and dispersed capabilities.”
PDW’s award followed the firm’s selection in September for the US Army’s Directed Requirement for Company-Level sUAS, a broader program seeking small drones for company-level intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance missions.
‘Cutting-Edge’ Technology
The C100 weighs 21 pounds (10 kilograms) and has a payload capacity of about 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms).
The low-acoustic drone is equipped with night mode vision guides, collision avoidance and position hold system, and advanced flight autonomy with optional AI-based computing integration.
It can operate in environments with temperatures ranging from -20 to 57 degrees Celsius (-4 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit) and resist dust particles and water.
C100 has a range of 6 miles (10 kilometers), a speed of 40 miles (65 kilometers) per hour, a maximum altitude of 12,000 feet (3,658 miles), and 74 minutes of endurance.
“PDW is transforming the battlefield with cutting-edge drone technology,” PDW Board Chairman and former US Special Operations Commander Tony Thomas commented on the recent contracts.
“The C100 provides our warfighters with a decisive advantage, delivering unparalleled operational flexibility and survivability in today’s contested environments.”

Israel gave officers all-clear to kill civilians – NYT
The IDF reportedly deemed upwards of 20 civilian casualties per airstrike an acceptable death toll
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) allegedly loosened its rules of engagement at the start of the war with Hamas, giving officers permission to conduct airstrikes even when they knew that dozens of civilians would be killed, the New York Times has reported.
Within hours of Hamas militants attacking Israel on October 7 last year, the IDF issued an order authorizing mid-ranking officers to strike not just senior Hamas commanders or known military sites, but also low-level fighters and sites with a potentially high number of civilian bystanders, the newspaper reported on Thursday, citing interviews with Israeli officers.
Whereas the IDF officially tolerated between five and ten civilian casualties for every enemy operative killed in the past, the change in the rules bumped the number of acceptable casualties up to 20, the New York Times’ sources said.
The change meant that “the military could target rank-and-file militants as they were at home surrounded by relatives and neighbors, instead of only when they were alone outside,” the newspaper noted.
In practice, IDF commanders authorized strikes that they knew would endanger more than 100 civilians, the newspaper claimed, citing interviews with more than 100 military personnel. Flawed systems were used to identify targets, and unguided 2,000-pound bombs were used in strikes that previously would have called for smaller munitions, it added.
Within three days of Hamas’ attack, the IDF removed a pre-existing cap on the number of strikes its forces could conduct in a single day. As a result, some 30,000 munitions were fired in the first seven weeks of the conflict, more than in the next eight months combined, according to the report.
In a statement to the New York Times, the IDF acknowledged that the rules of engagement had changed after October 7, but said its forces had “consistently been employing means and methods that adhere to the rules of law.”
Israeli forces have killed nearly 45,400 people in Gaza since the conflict began, according to figures supplied by the enclave’s Health Ministry and accepted as accurate by the UN. The majority of those killed have been women and children.

Birth rates are plummeting globally, with most countries hitting all-time lows.
Birth rates are plummeting worldwide, signaling a profound shift in global demographics. In 2024, the global birth rate fell to 17.299 births per 1,000 people, continuing a decades-long decline from the 1950 high of 37.844. This trend is no mere statistical anomaly—it reflects seismic changes in how societies function, grow, and sustain themselves.
Why are we seeing this drop? Education and employment opportunities for women have expanded, leading many to delay marriage and childbearing. Add the rising cost of living and the staggering financial demands of raising children—childcare, education, healthcare—and it’s no wonder families are opting for fewer kids. Contraception access and changing cultural norms have further reinforced this global shift toward smaller families.
The United States mirrors this trajectory. In 2023, the U.S. birth rate hit 55.8 births per 1,000 women—a 20% plunge since 2007. The consequences? An aging population, shrinking workforce, and mounting pressure on already strained social security and healthcare systems. Economists warn that fewer workers could stifle productivity and drive labor shortages, threatening long-term economic growth.
Globally, the pattern is even more pronounced. Countries like Japan and South Korea, where birth rates have plummeted below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, face shrinking populations. The implications are dire: aging societies, economic stagnation, and the unraveling of social structures. These nations are grappling with how to support their elderly populations without enough young workers to shoulder the burden.
This isn’t just a trend—it’s a looming crisis. The ripple effects of declining birth rates touch every aspect of society, from economic growth to social stability.

WHO head caught in Israeli air strike
The chief of the UN’s World Health Organisation was at an airport where it was bombed by Israel on Thursday.
The head of the United Nations’ World Health Organisation was at an airport at the time Israel bombed it in retaliation for a strike in Tel Aviv.
Israeli air strikes pummelled Sanaa’s international airport and other targets in Yemen on Thursday, leaving three people dead, a day after the latest attacks on Israel by Iran-backed Huthi rebels.
World Health Organisation (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at the airport during the strike, he said, adding that “one of our plane’s crew members was injured”.
Mr Tedros, who was in Yemen to seek the release of detained UN staff and assess the humanitarian situation in war-torn Yemen, said he and his team were about to board their flight when “the airport came under aerial bombardment”.
He said the air traffic control tower, departure lounge and runway were damaged in the strike.
The rebel-held capital’s airport was struck by “more than six” attacks with raids also targeting the adjacent Al-Dailami air base, a witness told AFP.
A series of strikes were also fired at a power station in Hodeida, a witness and the Iran-backed Huthis’ official Al-Masirah TV station said.
Two people died and 11 were wounded at the rebel-held capital’s airport, and one person was killed and three were missing at Ras Issa port, Huthi statements said.
Huthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam called the strikes, a day after the Huthis fired a missile and two drones at Israel, “a Zionist crime against all the Yemeni people”.
The Israeli military said its “fighter jets conducted intelligence-based strikes on military targets belonging to the Huthi terrorist regime”.

Declassified CIA Document Claims Life Did Exist on Mars — Once Inhabited by ‘Thin and Tall and Very Large’ Being Living Among Pyramid Structures
Dec. 24, 2024 11:00 am
A recently resurfaced CIA document, which was declassified in 2017, has shed light on an experiment conducted on May 22, 1984.
The experiment—part of a larger program often referred to as “Project Stargate”—allegedly transported the subject’s consciousness back in time, approximately one million years B.C.
Project Stargate was a secret U.S. Army initiative established in 1977 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International.
Its primary objective was to investigate the potential use of psychic phenomena, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis, for military and intelligence applications, according to Daily Mail.
The news outlet added, “Project Stargate was the US government’s new weapon against the Soviet Union, aimed at creating mind-reading spies who could infiltrate the minds of its enemies.”
The declassified CIA document chronicles an unconventional “Mars exploration” mission conducted not with astronauts but through the use of remote viewing—a form of extrasensory perception (ESP).
A subject was provided with a sealed envelope containing cryptic instructions: to focus their mind on specific coordinates on Mars, roughly one million years B.C.
During the session, the subject reported seeing massive pyramidal structures, vast caverns, and colossal monuments carved into Martian canyons.
The descriptions included towering humanoid figures, “thin and tall, but they’re very large… some kind of strange clothes.”
These beings were said to be part of an ancient civilization teetering on the brink of extinction, victims of severe environmental collapse.
Daily Mail reported:
Participants were exposed to sounds like binaural beats and hemi-sync audio to induce altered states of consciousness and promote psychic abilities.
The experiment’s ‘subject’ was transported to the planet during the specified year, reporting an ‘oblique view of a pyramid’ and a ‘very large road’ with a monument similar to those known among ancient Egyptians on Earth, the report claims.
The vision then shifted to a population of ‘very large people’ searching for ‘a new place to live because their environment was corrupted.’
It shut down in 1995, but during its more than 10-year existence, psychics known as ‘remote viewers’ participated in a wide array of operations, from locating hostages kidnapped by Islamic terrorist groups to tracing the paths of fugitive criminals within the US.

The Rise and Fall of the Never Trump Machine.
By: Hayden Ludwig
December 26, 2024
Kamala Harris and the Democrat establishment may have blown over a billion dollars to lose the 2024 election, but it’s their Never Trump allies most likely facing oblivion after President Donald Trump’s historic victory.
If so, good riddance.
But don’t be too quick to count out the likes of Bill Kristol, Charlie Sykes, Liz Cheney, or the operatives behind groups such as the Lincoln Project who helped organize the Left’s 2020 campaign to oust Trump from the White House. They may still play a role in the second Trump “resistance” beginning in January — if Democrats will let them.
At the heart of that effort is a set of insider groups — niche publications like The Bulwark and think tanks for exiled ex-conservatives like the Niskanen Center — that led the old GOP’s exiles into the wilderness, forged a powerful political force for undermining Trump’s Republican base, then pledged itself fully to the Harris campaign and the regime that supported it. At each step of the way, these “principled conservatives” grew tangibly more liberal, more hawkish on America’s forever wars, and more fanatical in their hatred of the America First movement.
By November 2024, however, Never Trump Inc. ended up friendless and defeated.

God Versus Aliens film implies that US government can fake alien invasions
25 December 2024
'God Versus Aliens' – which is now streaming on Tubi – looks into a secret US government programme called Project Bluebeam which uses top-secret technology including lasers, AI, sky projections and Hollywood special effects to create a false flag alien invasion.
The film's director Mark Christopher Lee said: "I have spoken to whistleblowers from the US intelligence community who insist that what people are seeing all over the skies in the United States is the US Government testing out this Project Bluebeam technology to see if it can actually work.
"It's not aliens but is made to look like aliens with the aim of putting the population into fear so that they can be easily controlled."
During the film, Lee speaks to Nick Pope – the former head of the UK Ministry of Defence's UFO desk – who has conducted his own research into Project Bluebeam.
Pope states: "The idea is they would use lasers, holographic technology and Hollywood Special effects to create what would look like an alien invasion, or indeed the second coming of Christ.
The idea that this could be then used to usher in some form of one world government to take control and deal with this event."
Lee adds: "I think what people are seeing now is a combination of this Project Bluebeam technology and misidentified planes and other craft.
As we have seen it doesn't take much to create fear and panic in the population. "We too in the UK are experiencing the same around US airbases here.
So this leads me to conclude that the UK government are also involved and may also explain the Rendelsham UFO incident of 1980 – where some say a UFO landed at the US airbase at RAF Bentwaters – but was probably the same technology being tested and which has evolved into what people are seeing now."
'God Versus Aliens' premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May and is now streaming on Tubi worldwide.

Nearly 2,000 American CEOs Quit In 2024, Setting New Record
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Dec 23, 2024 - 11:05 AM
Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times,
Chief executive officers have exited from U.S. companies in 2024 at a greater pace than ever before, with businesses increasingly opting to appoint interim leaders as replacements, according to global outplacement company Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.
As of November, 1,991 CEOs have departed from their companies, “the highest total on record,” according to a Dec. 20 report from the company.
“It has surpassed the previous record of 1,914 CEO exits that occurred in all of 2023. It is up 16% from the 1,710 exits that occurred during the same period last year.”
Amid a jump in executive departures, companies were found to be appointing more interim leaders. Last year, interim replacements for CEOs were at seven percent, this year it has gone up to 13 percent.
“The current landscape has a lot of uncertainty baked in, and companies are responding by putting temporary leaders in place. This can act as a trial run to see how the leader navigates current challenges,” Challenger, Gray & Christmas Senior Vice President Andrew Challenger said.
“It’s much less disruptive to replace an interim head if things do not appear to be working out, not only the company and its employees, but also to analysts and shareholders.”
Entities in the government/non-profit sector saw the highest number of exits year-to-date at 438 departures, followed by health care/products, technology, entertainment/leisure, financial, services, and hospitals.
State-wise, California topped the list with 223 CEOs departing, followed by New York, Texas, and Florida.
Besides stepping down, some of the top reasons executives gave for leaving their positions included retirement, pursuing new opportunities, or transitioning to a different position within the company.

Pope Francis has opened a symbolic door inside a Roman prison, marking the first time a pope has opened a Holy Door in such a setting.
This "Sacred Portal" was located at Rebibbia prison.
The Pope invited all prisoners to look toward the future with hope and a renewed sense of confidence, describing himself as a “Pilgrim of Hope."

Term limits will hopefully prevent politicians from turning the House of Representatives into a nursing home.
Notice she says some "stay forever" instead of mentioning they're elected by the people (or are they?).
Rep. Annie Kuster, a 68-year-old Democrat who's represented a New Hampshire district for 12 years, told the Boston Globe that she's trying to make room for younger people in Congress.
"I'm trying to set a better example," Kuster said. "I think there are colleagues, some of whom are still very successful and very productive but others who just stay forever."
Kuster added that she's "not the best gladiator" to serve as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reassume office and Democrats gird for at least two years of full GOP control of Congress and the White House.
She's set to be replaced by Maggie Goodlander, a 38-year-old Democrat who most recently worked in the Department of Justice under President Joe Biden.
According to the 2024 MassMutual Retirement Happiness Study, the average American retires at age 62, which is when early Social Security benefits become available. Many Americans work past that age, either due to financial pressures or a sense of fulfillment from work.

'Russian air defence system' downed Azerbaijan Airlines plane in deadly crash
The Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed killing 38 people was downed by a Russian air defence system, according to four Reuters sources.
The Embraer 190 passenger jet was en route from Azerbaijan's capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it changed course.
It crashed around two miles from Aktau in Kazakhstan while making an attempt to land after flying east across the Caspian Sea, killing 38 people and injuring all of the other 29 survivors.
The aircraft had diverted from an area of Russia in which Moscow has used air defence systems against Ukrainian drone strikes in recent months.
Mobile phone footage circulating online appeared to show the plane making a steep descent before smashing into the ground in a fireball.
Other footage showed part of its fuselage ripped away from the wings and the rest of the aircraft lying upside in the grass.
People can be heard praying as oxygen masks are lowered in the plane's cabin in footage filmed by a passenger before the plane went down.
One Azerbaijani source told Reuters that preliminary results of the investigation showed the plane was struck by a Russian Pantsir-S air defence system, and its communications were paralysed by electronic warfare systems on the approach into Grozny.
"No one claims that it was done on purpose," they said. "However, taking into account the established facts, Baku expects the Russian side to confess to the shooting down of the Azerbaijani aircraft."
Separately an unnamed US official made a similar assessment, telling Reuters there are early indications a Russian anti-aircraft system may have been involved.
Euronews, citing Azerbaijani government sources, reported a preliminary investigation found a Russian surface-to-air missile was fired at the plane during drone air activity above Grozny.
Shrapnel hit the plane as the missile exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight, according to the network, while pictures showed the damage to the wreckage.
The damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airports, despite requests from the pilots for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly towards Aktau, the sources said.

The Progressive Left’s Glossary of Terms, 2024 Edition
A helpful guide to understanding the real meaning of words and phrases spoken by progressive leftists.
Climate Change: An all-inclusive label given to the Earth’s climate, which has been changing for 3.4 billion years. The theory of human-caused climate change has yet to be proven in any scientific manner, but humans are nonetheless expected to abandon their quality of life on the odd chance that our existence is killing the planet. We can’t have that, so let’s throw soup on the Mona Lisa and glue ourselves to the highway during rush hour to show how serious we are.
Existential Threat to Democracy: A person or movement that will interrupt the looting of the U.S. Treasury, the kickbacks from U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine, and massive corruption at the federal level in which elected and unelected bureaucrats emerge from “public service” fabulously wealthy for doing virtually nothing of value. See “‘our’ democracy” below.
Hate Speech: Any speech the left disagrees with.
Misinformation: Any statement or narrative that exposes the truth about an event or intention. Also known as “disinformation” and “malinformation.”
Progressive: A weasel word for a communist-curious, poorly educated radical with no impulse control and only a slight relationship with reality. When in power, the progressive wants to preserve the status quo. Out of power, the progressive tries to overthrow the opposition by any means necessary. The label has nothing to do with “progress,” but word games are fun, and they hate themselves anyway, so let them run with that label.
Racist: A label slapped on any action or statement that a leftist cannot handle or answer honestly. It’s a coping mechanism for the left, rendering the genuine meaning of “racist” useless.

This is a great guide for navigating the talking points of those who are feverishly working to destroy America.

Three Boys Shot After Trying to Rob Texas Man at Gunpoint at His Home
KHOU 11 reported:
Three boys were shot and injured, one of them critically, when they attempted to rob a 25-year-old man in northwest Harris County early Thursday morning, the sheriff’s office said.
A fourth boy and the man who was robbed were detained for questioning. The ages of the boys range from 12 to 13.
This happened shortly after midnight at an apartment complex on North Houston Rosslyn Road just south of Highway 249.
ADVERTISEMENT
Investigators said four boys approached the man with pistols and attempted to rob him. The man reportedly pulled out his own pistol and shot three of them.
The three boys who were shot were taken to area hospitals. One of them suffered multiple gunshot wounds and HPD said is recovering in an ICU. The other two reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

State Department's 'Global Engagement Center' accused of censoring Americans shuts its doors
The State Department’s foreign disinformation center, accused by conservatives of censoring U.S. citizens, shut its doors due to lack of funding this week.
Elon Musk had deemed the Global Engagement Center (GEC), established in 2016, the "worst offender in U.S. government censorship & media manipulation," and its funding was stripped as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Pentagon’s yearly policy bill.
"The Global Engagement Center will terminate by operation of law [by the end of the day] on December 23, 2024," a State Department spokesperson said in a statement. "The Department of State has consulted with Congress regarding next steps."
Lawmakers had originally included funding for the GEC in its continuing resolution (CR), or bill to fund the government beyond a Friday deadline. But conservatives balked at that iteration of the funding bill, and it was rewritten without money for the GEC and other funding riders.
The agency had a budget of around $61 million and 120 people on staff.
At a time when adversaries like Iran and Russia sow disinformation throughout the world, Republicans saw little value in the agency’s work, arguing that much of its disinformation analysis is already offered by the private sector.
The GEC, according to reporter Matt Taibbi, "funded a secret list of subcontractors and helped pioneer an insidious — and idiotic — new form of blacklisting" during the pandemic.
Taibbi wrote last year when exposing the Twitter Files that the GEC "flagged accounts as ‘Russian personas and proxies’ based on criteria like, ‘Describing the Coronavirus as an engineered bioweapon,’ blaming ‘research conducted at the Wuhan institute,’ and ‘attributing the appearance of the virus to the CIA.’"
"State also flagged accounts that retweeted news that Twitter banned the popular U.S. website ZeroHedge, claiming that it 'led to another flurry of disinformation narratives.'" ZeroHedge had made reports speculating that the virus had a lab origin.
The GEC is part of the State Department but also partners with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Special Operations Command and the Department of Homeland Security. The GEC also funds the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab).....

Laura Loomer Faces Backlash for Comments About Indians Amid H-1B Visa Debate==1/2
Updated Dec 26, 2024 at 10:21 AM
Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, has faced backlash for her comments targeting Indian immigrants amid ongoing debates over H-1B visa policies in the U.S.
Loomer, a loyal MAGA supporter, made remarks that have been perceived as racially insensitive and have drawn criticism on social media. After describing migrants from the south Asian subcontinent as "third-world invaders from India," she was denounced as "racist" and criticized for failing to grasp the argument over the visas.
Newsweek has contacted Laura Loomer, the Trump transition team, and internet entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan, recently appointed as senior policy adviser for Artificial Intelligence at the White House, for further commentS.
Why It Matters
The H-1B visa program allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, particularly in the tech industry. Discussions about reforming this program have intensified, with some advocating for the removal of country-specific caps on green cards to address extensive backlogs faced by applicants from countries including India.
Krishnan supports such reforms, arguing that the current system leads to unfair waiting times for qualified applicants.
What To Know
The H-1B visa is one of the most competitive categories in the U.S. immigration system, attracting numerous applicants, and major tech companies such as Amazon, Google, and Tesla are some of the top recipients. In 2024, more than 85,000 H-1B visas were approved, after 400,000 applications.
Loomer has expressed concern over the recent appointment of Krishnan as senior policy adviser for AI at the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Loomer took to social media to voice her disapproval, calling Krishnan's appointment "deeply disturbing."
Her comments have been met with rebuttals from prominent figures. Entrepreneur David Sacks clarified that Krishnan advocates for removing country caps on green cards, not eliminating caps entirely, aiming to create a more merit-based system. Elon Musk also supported this position, stating, "Makes sense."
"Our country was built by white Europeans, actually. Not third-world invaders from India," Loomer said. "It's not racist against Indians to want the original MAGA policies I voted for. I voted for a reduction in H-1B visas. Not an extension."
Loomer, who described herself as a "proud Islamophobe," previously received widespread condemnation, including from Vice President-elect JD Vance and GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, another Trump loyalist, for saying that the White House "will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center" if Kamala Harris, who is of Indian heritage, won the presidential election.
What People Are Saying
Sidharth Ram, a data architect and immigrant from Chennai, India, told Newsweek: "Laura is compromised. She's in bed with bad actors and is trying to change the narrative away from the border. Any smart administrator would steer clear of such rabid racists.

"She made a similar remark on JD Vance and his wife; which led to Trump distancing himself from her.Now she's trying hard to create sensationalism to get back in."
Ram also said in a post on X, formerly Twitter:"Anyone opposing high-skilled immigration is fundamentally anti-American. This nation was built by immigrants who drove innovation, from Albert Einstein revolutionizing science to Sergey Brin reshaping technology. High-skilled immigrants create jobs, fuel economic growth, and ensure America stays ahead globally.
"Groups like #USTECHWorkers, operating with shady funding from external forces and amplified by figures like Laura Loomer, are nothing more than propaganda machines designed to weaken America's competitive edge. Their agenda isn't about protecting jobs—it's about stoking division and fear."
Loomer said in a post on X:"It's alarming to see the number of career leftists who are now being appointed to serve in Trump's admin when they share views that are in direct opposition to Trump's America First agenda.
"How will we control immigration in our country and promote America First innovation when Trump appointed this guy who wants to REMOVE all restrictions on green card caps in the United States so that foreign students (which makes up 78 percent of the employees in Silicon Valley) can come to the US and take jobs that should be given to American STEM students."
David Sacks, the incoming A.I. & Crypto Czar under the second Trump administration, said on X:Sriram didn't say he wants to remove all caps on green cards. He said he wants to remove *country* caps on green cards. Right now, every country in the world gets allocated the same number of green cards, no matter how many qualified applicants it has.
"So applicants from India have an 11-year wait whereas applicants from many other countries have no wait at all. Sriram still supports skills-based criteria for receiving a green card, not making the program unlimited. In fact, he wants to make the program entirely merit-based. Supporting a limited number of highly skilled immigrants is still a prevalent view on the right. Sriram is definitely not a "career leftist"!
What's Next
The debate over H-1B visa reforms continues, with policymakers expected to consider various proposals to address the challenges faced by immigrants and the domestic workforce.
Loomer's comments have sparked further discussion about the intersection of immigration policy and racial sensitivity in public discourse. As the conversation evolves, it remains to be seen how these dynamics will influence future policy decisions.
(My guess is Laura is going to get a call, and told to bow out!)

Great. Gas will cost even more.
Hochul Signs Bill That Will Fine Fossil Fuel Companies $75 Billion to Pay For Damage Caused to Climate
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a $75 billion climate change bill that will fine fossil fuel companies for the damage caused to the environment.
“With nearly every record rainfall, heatwave, and coastal storm, New Yorkers are increasingly burdened with billions of dollars in health, safety, and environmental consequences due to polluters that have historically harmed our environment,” Governor Hochul said. “Establishing the Climate Superfund is the latest example of my administration taking action to hold polluters responsible for the damage done to our environment and requiring major investments in infrastructure and other projects critical to protecting our communities and economy.”
The Marxist bill was carried by Democrat Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz.
“The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law, and New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable,” said Senator Krueger.
“Too often over the last decade, courts have dismissed lawsuits against the oil and gas industry by saying that the issue of climate culpability should be decided by legislatures. Well, the Legislature of the State of New York – the 10th largest economy in the world – has accepted the invitation, and I hope we have made ourselves very clear: the planet’s largest climate polluters bear a unique responsibility for creating the climate crisis, and they must pay their fair share to help regular New Yorkers deal with the consequences.
“And there’s no question that those consequences are here, and they are serious,” Krueger continued. “Repairing from and preparing for extreme weather caused by climate change will cost more than half a trillion dollars statewide by 2050. That’s over $65,000 per household, and that’s on top of the disruption, injury, and death that the climate crisis is causing in every corner of our state. The Climate Change Superfund Act is a critical piece of affordability legislation that will deliver billions of dollars every year to ease the burden on regular New Yorkers.”
Reuters reported:
New York state will fine fossil fuel companies a total of $75 billion over the next 25 years to pay for damage caused to the climate under a bill Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law on Thursday.
The law is intended to shift some of the recovery and adaptation costs of climate change from individual taxpayers to oil, gas and coal companies that the law says are liable. The money raised will be spent on mitigating the impacts of climate change, including adapting roads, transit, water and sewage systems, buildings and other infrastructure.
Fossil fuel companies will be fined based on the amount of greenhouse gases they released into the atmosphere between 2000 and 2018, to be paid into a Climate Superfund beginning in 2028. It will apply to any company that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation determines is responsible for more than 1 billion tons of global greenhouse gas emissions.
New York becomes the second state to pass such a law after Vermont passed its own version this summer. The laws are modeled after existing state and federal superfund laws that require polluters to pay to clean up toxic waste.

An O-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in specific fields to work temporarily in the United States. The O-1 visa is divided into two main categories:
1. O-1A Visa – For Individuals with Extraordinary Ability in the Sciences, Education, Business, or Athletics
This visa is for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in fields such as science, business, education, or athletics, typically through sustained national or international acclaim.
Examples of O-1A applicants include scientists, researchers, business leaders, athletes, and educators.
2. O-1B Visa – For Individuals with Extraordinary Ability in the Arts, Motion Picture, or Television Industry
This visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts (such as visual arts, performing arts, music, etc.) or in the motion picture or television industry.
Examples of O-1B applicants include artists, musicians, actors, directors, producers, and other professionals in the entertainment industry.
Key Requirements for the O-1 Visa
Extraordinary Ability: To qualify for an O-1 visa, applicants must show that they possess extraordinary ability in their field, demonstrated through sustained national or international acclaim. This can include evidence of major awards (like a Nobel Prize or an Academy Award) or meeting at least three of the following criteria:
Receipt of major internationally recognized awards.
Published material about you in professional or trade publications.
Original contributions of major significance in the field.
Authorship of scholarly articles or research.
Employment in a critical or essential capacity for distinguished organizations.
A high salary or remuneration compared to others in the field.
A record of leading or critical roles in distinguished organizations or productions.
Temporary Nature of Work: The O-1 visa is for temporary employment, typically granted for the duration of the event, performance, or project, up to a maximum of 3 years. Extensions are possible in one-year increments if the individual continues to meet the criteria.
Employer Sponsorship: To apply for the O-1 visa, the applicant must have an employer in the U.S. (or an agent or sponsor) who will file the petition on their behalf. The employer needs to demonstrate that the applicant’s extraordinary ability will be used in a specific project, event, or performance.
Consultation Requirement: The applicant must provide a written advisory opinion from a peer group or labor organization related to their field, confirming the individual’s extraordinary ability. This is typically part of the application process.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has revealed the Democratic Party’s secret weapon in fighting a rearguard action against Donald Trump’s MAGA offensive.
The Democrats are holding onto one last hope after a disastrous election in which they lost control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.
For the past four years, President Joe Biden, Schumer, and his colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee have been quietly stacking the federal judiciary with liberal-minded judges knowing they could one day provide a crucial bulwark against a resurgent Trump.
Just before Christmas, they achieved their goal of pushing through a record 235 judicial nominations, more confirmations in a single administration than any since the Jimmy Carter White House. That total includes 150 women judges, the most under any president.
With less than a month to go before Trump can begin putting his MAGA policies into action, Biden and Schumer see the batch of new judges as their best, and perhaps their only chance of preserving any kind of legacy from the last four years.

“It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to deport every undocumented immigrant in our country,” Senator Dick Durbin warned. After losing the open borders debate and the election, Democrats and their media stopped arguing that mass migration is a right and that mass deportations violate human rights. 6 out of 10 registered voters were polled in favor of deporting illegal aliens. The American people had spoken. So Democrats and their media instead argued that mass deportations would be too expensive.

Migrant enclaves are hotbeds for extremism – Medvedev
The prolonged stay of migrants’ families is straining the Russian social sphere, the former president has said
Ethnic enclaves formed by extended families of migrant workers can be hotbeds for the spread of extremist ideologies, former Russian president and the deputy chair of the country’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, believes.
Medvedev made the remarks on Thursday during a meetingto address migration and potential improvements to the country’s legislation in this field. Extended families brought in by migrant workers create various issues in Russia, he said.
“The prolonged stay of migrant workers’ family members puts a very serious strain on the social sphere of our country. And in some cases, it causes tensions between ethnic groups,”Medvedev stated.
Some of the migrants and their family members “do not work or study anywhere” and “do not want to comply with the norms of Russian legislation,” the former president observed.
“Ethnic enclaves that emerge can become breeding grounds for extremism,” he warned.
More than 40% of some 200,000 migrant childrencurrently studying in Russiademonstrate “insufficient” knowledge of the Russian language, Medvedev stated. Earlier this month, Russia introduced new rules requiring the children of migrants to undergo mandatory Russian language tests. The system is expected to be implemented next spring, with those who fail being barred from attending regular schools.
Over the past few months, Russia has tightened migration laws, with multiple new initiatives adopted or considered by the country’s parliament. Medvedev has been among the most vocal proponents of such changes, arguing thatmigrants who do not work or study in the country should ultimately leave.
In September, the ex-president suggested that seasonalmigrant workers should be prohibited from bringing in their families.
“I am a proponent of this, as applied to schools, migrant families, and enclaves. Of course, we won’t be able to overcome every tendency there, but what can be done?If a person comes to us for seasonal work – why the hell does he drag his family along with him?”Medvedev said at the time.

Spy bosses ‘silenced’ Defense Department, FBI scientists from briefing Biden on COVID lab leak evidence
Spy chiefs “silenced” researchers in the Defense Department and FBI who discovered strong evidence that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a Chinese lab, The Post has learned.
As a result, their findings were kept out of an August 2021 report to President Biden on the origins of the global pandemic.
That report concluded that the virus behind COVID “was probably not genetically engineered.”
After the pandemic erupted in Wuhan, China, three scientists from the Defense Intelligence Agency began trying to figure out exactly where it came from — whether SARS-CoV-2 jumped from bats into humans, or whether the virus was man-made and came from a lab accident.
The “zoonotic origin” theory was backed by powerful members of the public health establishment, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and questions about a possible “lab leak” were repeatedly dismissed as a conspiracy theory.
But the researchers’ analysis compiled dozens of data points in favor of a lab leak — compared with a “paucity of evidence supporting the natural origin theory,” a source familiar with their investigation told The Post.
The analysis was conducted by John Hardham, Robert Cutlip and Jean-Paul Chretien, three scientists in the Defense Intelligence Agency’s National Center for Medical Intelligence, which is tasked with examining potential biological weapons threats and dangerous infectious diseases.
Among their damning findings:
The COVID virus contained a feature allowing for easier transmission to humans that was constructed in a manner similar to that described in a years-old Chinese study
A Chinese military researcher applied for a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine just weeks after the virus was first sequenced in 2020. (He later died after falling from the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology’s roof, according to US investigators.)
WIV researchers worked with US researchers who trained them to construct viruses without leaving a trace of them being engineered.
Rather than amplifying these findings, they were all but ignored as Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines was preparing her report on COVID origins — which Biden ordered in May 2021.
“The scientists who had the subject matter expertise were silenced,” the source said, noting that Biden and others remained “completely unwitting” about the evidence that SARS-CoV-2 likely leaked out of a lab.
The spy chiefs further forbade the scientists from sharing the information with Congress — even after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) expressly requested them in a March 2021 letter — or from rebutting a since-disgraced May 2020 paper — prompted by Fauci — that sought to discredit the lab leak theory.
“That was going to be the basis of an official intelligence product,” another source familiar with the probe said.
They were also told not to share their findings with the FBI — which was the only US intelligence agency agency that concluded a lab leak was the most likely theory behind COVID, the sources added.
All three were informed that the FBI was “off the reservation” when it became the sole agency to conclude the lab leak theory was likely, according to comments previously reported by the Australian newspaper.
FBI scientist Jason Bannan and his team running the parallel probe were also never offered an invitation to the White House briefing, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the scientists getting sidelined.
“Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing,” Bannan said.
“I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.”

Visualizing How US Household Incomes Have Changed Over The Past 50 Years
All annual income is in 2023 dollars, adjusted for inflation, but not for cost of living differences.
Data is sourced from the Census Bureau, published 2024.
Americans Are Making More Money Than Ever Before
Incomes for American households have grown quite a bit in the last six decades.
In 1967, nearly one-third of households made less than $35,000 a year (adjusted to 2023 dollars), and in 2023, that’s fallen to one-fifth.
Here’s the share of households per income bracket for every year since 1967. Categories have been combined from the original source and all figures are rounded. As a result percentages may not sum exactly to 100.

Since the 2024 election, ratings at the far left cable news networks CNN and MSNBC are way down. Joy Reid is even looking at a potential pay cut to stay on the air. It’s easy to see why.
These networks told their faithful viewers that there was no way Trump could win, right up until they were forced to admit on election night that Trump had not only won, but that he had won big.

Barack Obama, the man who once promised “hope and change,” has become the emblem of everything wrong with the Democrat Party’s trajectory.
Obama, who campaigned vigorously for Kamala Harris, framed the election as a choice between values and character.
Despite his efforts, Harris suffered a decisive defeat, with President-elect Donald Trump securing 312 electoral votes to Harris’s 226 and winning the popular vote by nearly three million.

Red Sea Diversions Cost Egypt $7 Billion in Lost Canal Revenue
By Tarek El-Tablawy and Abdel Latif Wahba (Bloomberg) — December 26, 2024
Red Sea disruptions — a consequence of Houthi maritime attacks — have cost Egypt at least $7 billion in Suez Canal revenue this year, the country’s presidency said in a statement Thursday.
Revenue from the vital international waterway is down over 60%, the statement said, without providing total figures.
The Houthi attacks have hit Egypt hard since they began in late 2023. The Yemen-based militant group hasn’t targeted Egyptian assets, but it has effectively closed the southern Red Sea and parts of the Gulf of Aden to most Western shipping firms, stopping them from using the Suez Canal to move goods between Europe and Asia.
The Suez Canal is a vital source of foreign exchange for the $380 billion Egyptian economy, whose currency slid to a record low in the past month.
As well as assaulting ships, the Houthis are firing drones and missiles on Israel. They say they won’t stop until Israel agrees to a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza.

Felony shoplifting cases surge 154% under new state’s attorney
December 26, 2024
CHICAGO — Shoplifters in Chicago are more than 100% more likely to be slapped with felony charges under Cook County’s new state’s attorney than they were under Kim Foxx’s administration.
Retired justice Eileen O’Neill Burke took office on December 2 and immediately followed through on her campaign promise to adhere to state law by pursuing felonies against people who shoplift merchandise worth more than $300.'Foxx ordered prosecutors to withhold felony charges unless the value exceeded $1,000 or the accused shoplifter had ten or more previous convictions.
Three weeks into O’Neill Burke’s administration, the results of the rule change are already apparent.
We pulled Chicago Police Department shoplifting arrest records for this year and tallied the number of cases filed as felonies and misdemeanors:
From January 1 through November 30, we found 3,264 retail theft cases filed in the city. Only 11% of those were filed as felonies.
During November, Foxx’s last month in office, there were 333 cases, with 13% filed as felonies.
But the numbers are much different in the early days of O’Neill Burke’s administration. We found 248 shoplifting cases filed in Chicago between December 3 and December 22. Prosecutors filed 69 of those as felonies. That’s 28%, a 154% increase from the rate seen during the first eleven months of the year. It’s a 115% increase compared to November alone.
During her primary campaign against Clayton Harris, O’Neill Burke pushed back on Harris’ argument that people should not have to live with felony records because they shoplifted something worth a few hundred dollars.
“The felony retail theft statute says that the value of goods has to be $300 or above to be a felony,” O’Neill Burke said during a February town hall covered by Nadig Newspapers. “You can clear out several aisles at Walgreens before you get to $1,000. The ramification of this policy is that retail stores have closed all over the city because of theft.”
“They cannot do business when somebody comes in and clears out their store. So, that doesn’t mean that every person charged with retail theft should have a permanent record,” the retired justice continued. “If you’re charged with retail theft, and you don’t have a background, you can go to theft school. It does not permanently stain your record. It’s not appropriate for an officeholder just to say, ‘I don’t like that. I’m not going to enforce the law,’ especially not for a chief prosecutor.”

Mexico to open shelters to house over
12K of its own citizens deported in Trump’s
illegal immigrant crackdown
New York Post, by Jennie Taer
Posted By: Imright, 12/27/2024 3:29:43 AM
Mexico is gearing up to take back its citizens who have been living in the US illegally — and officials are planning to open more than 12,000 beds in shelters across the country to house the new arrivals. The 25 planned shelters — which will each have the capacity to hold 500 people — will open their doors on President-elect Trump’s inauguration day, Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda announced on Monday, according to Border Report. (Photo) “This is a strategic plan to accommodate exclusively people who get deported after Jan. 20,” Olmeda said. Olmeda said she takes Trump’s threats of a mass deportation seriously.

As certain accounts spend the next few days EMOTIONALLY reacting and urging us all to throw both Vivek and Elon over the side of the MAGA train?
Keep your wits about you.
Stay completely calm, emotionally detached, and fully rational and logical. Do not fall into emotional traps.
Wait for Trump to speak and lead on this. As we all know he will, in his own timing.
A lot of people are going to calm down as the rational debate MAGA is having with itself continues.
At that point, those who stridently continue to insist that Vivek and Elon both need to be chucked over the side RIGHT THIS INSTANT are going to stand out very much.
Probably by next Monday.
This HB1 Visa issue is but ONE of the very healthy DEBATES about important issues that MAGA is going to have with itself in the coming years.
Some people are going to make use of these important and necessary debates among the massive MAGA coalition to try to steer the movement with rhetoric and emotional rabble-rousing into fracturing itself and splitting off into different camps and tribes who will all see each other as mortal enemies and declare war.
THIS IS WHAT OUR ENEMIES DESPERATELY WANT TO SEE.
They want to see MAGA split apart into warring tribes. They want all the unity Trump and his team carefully built during the recent campaign to depart as quickly as possible so MAGA and the new unity government being installed in less than a month is as WEAK AS POSSIBLE on its inception.
They'll try to cause wedges and divisions between Trump and every single member of the unity government that's inbound. Trump vs. Vance, Trump vs Vivek, Trump vs Elon, Trump vs. RFK Jr., Trump vs. Tulsi, Trump vs Kash, Trump vs Bondi, etc.
They hope you're going to be open to bein instantly and easily emotionally manipulated with rhetoric from big accounts that suddenly explode into outrage and demand some member of Trump's unity government instantly be thrown off the team.
You're already seeing it.
Wait.
For.
Trump.
To.
Lead.
Just because some account on here built up a lot street cred with you over the past few years by posting the same stuff the rest of MAGA did does not mean you let them emotionally goad you into rash actions or joining some instant explosive viral push to split MAGA apart.
Be careful who you follow. Pay attention to what your social media influencers are attempting to influence you to do. Your discernment as a Digital Soldier in this 5th Generation Information War should be finely tuned at this point.
Keep your eyes on Trump and follow his lead.
It will become apparent in just a few days which influencers jumped the shark here.
Now read this excellent post from Joe Lange.

I’ve seen a lot of back and forth on this H1-B visa issue from a lot of people I follow and respect.
Is this a purposeful narrative deployment?
Biden just changed the rules on H1-B visas.
I think that is what caused Vivek to make his comment.
I wasn’t offended by his comments. x.com/vivekgramaswam…

Shocking Revelation: mRNA Clot Shots Secretly Injected into Pigs Across America
Merck reportedly collaborated with Moderna in 2018 to integrate mRNA technology in livestock production. It is shocking that mRNA ‘vaccines’ have been injected into livestock pigs, but these vaccines undergo no safety testing, which raises serious concerns about the long-term effects on consumers who have been unknowingly consuming gene therapy-treated pork for almost five years. Vaccine manufacturers are now interested in injecting cattle with mRNA lipid nano-particle ‘vaccines’ for avian bird flu.
In a landscape fraught with hidden dangers and corporate interests, the call for transparency and accountability in the food industry has never been more critical. The veil of secrecy shrouding mRNA injecting of livestock must be lifted, and stringent measures must be implemented to protect consumers from the insidious effects of unregulated gene therapy in our food supply. This article advises consumers to avoid pork products possibly tainted with mRNA vaccines.

Planet Earth at Twilight
No sudden, sharp boundary marks the passage of day into night in this gorgeous view of ocean and clouds over our fair planet Earth. Instead, the shadow line or terminator is diffuse and shows the gradual transition to darkness we experience as twilight. With the Sun illuminating the scene from the right, the cloud tops reflect gently reddened sunlight filtered through the dusty troposphere, the lowest layer of the planet's nurturing atmosphere. A clear high altitude layer, visible along the dayside's upper edge, scatters blue sunlight and fades into the blackness of space. This picture was taken from the International Space Station orbiting at an altitude of 211 nautical miles. Of course from home, you can check out the Earth Now.

Alexander Downer Exposes FBI's Deceit in Opening Russia Investigation
JEFF CARLSON & HANS MAHNCKE

A few days ago, our friend Stephen McIntyre, one of the original Russiagate investigators, sent a tweet to revisit a question that many of us have pondered for years but which has never been fully resolved. As a result, we finally now have the answer. That is because, in response to McIntyre’s tweet, the key figure has come forward to confirm what many of us have suspected all along.
McIntyre's tweet highlighted that, according to the FBI, it was Australian diplomat Alexander Downer who initiated the inception of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, the narratives surrounding this event differ significantly between Downer's account in Special Counsel John Durham’s report and the FBI's version. Downer has now stepped forward to affirm Durham's version with a three-word tweet: “Durham is right”. This development carries substantial implications for the entire Russiagate saga, particularly regarding its fraudulent origins

Mechanical Systems TDT Support Reaches Across NASA Programs
Dec 26, 2024
The NESC Mechanical Systems TDT provides broad support across NASA’s mission directorates.
We are a diverse group representing a variety of sub-disciplines including bearings, gears, metrology, lubrication and tribology, mechanism design, analysis and testing, fastening systems, valve engineering, actuator engineering, pyrotechnics, mechatronics, and motor controls.
In addition to providing technical support, the TDT owns and maintains NASA-STD-5017, “Design and Development Requirements for Space Mechanisms.”
Mentoring the Next Generation
The NESC Mechanical Systems TDT actively participates in the Structures, Loads & Dynamics, Materials, and Mechanical Systems (SLAMS) Early Career Forum that mentors early-career engineers.
The TDT sent three members to this year’s forum at WSTF, where early-career engineers networked with peers and NESC mentors, gave presentations on tasks they worked on at their home centers, and attended splinter sessions where they collaborated with mentors.
New NASA Valve Standard to Reduce Risk and Improve Design and Reliability
Valve issues have been encountered across NASA’s programs and continue to compromise mission performance and increase risk, in many cases because the valve hardware was not qualified in the environment as specified in NASA-STD-5017.
To help address these issues, the Mechanical Systems TDT is developing a NASA standard for valves.
The TDT assembled a team of subject matter experts from across the Agency representing several disciplines including mechanisms, propulsion, environmental control and life support systems, spacesuits, active thermal control systems, and materials and processes.
The team has started their effort by reviewing lessons learned and best practices for valve design and hope to have a draft standard ready by the end of 2025.
Bearing Life Testing for Reaction Wheel Assemblies
The Mechanical Systems TDT just concluded a multiyear bearing life test on 40 motors, each containing a pair of all steel bearings of two different conformities or a pair of hybrid bearings containing silicon nitride balls.
The testing confirmed that hybrid bearings outperformed their steel counterparts, and bearings with higher conformity (54%) outperformed bearings with lower conformity (52%).
The team is disassembling and inspecting the bearings, and initial results have been surprising. The TDT was able to “recover” some of the bearings that failed during the life test and get them running as well as they did when testing began.
Some bearings survived over five billion revolutions and appeared like new when they were disassembled and inspected. These results will be published once analysis is complete.
X-57 Design Assessment
The Mechanical Systems TDT was asked by the Aeronautics Mission Directorate to assess the design of the electric cruise motors installed on X-57.
The team responded quickly to meet the Project’s schedule, making an onsite visit and attending numerous technical interchange meetings.
After careful review of the design, the TDT identified areas for higher-level consideration and risk assessment and attended follow-on reviews to provide additional comments and advice.
CLARREO Pathfinder Inner Radial Bearing Anomaly
The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Pathfinder was designed to take highly accurate measurements of reflected solar radiation to better-understand Earth’s climate.
During payload functional testing, engineers detected a noise as the HySICS pointing system was rotated from its normal storage orientation.
Mechanical Systems TDT members reviewed the design and inspection reports after disassembly of the inner bearing unit, noticing contact marks on the bore of the inner ring and the shaft that confirmed that the inner ring of the bearing was moving on the shaft with respect to the outer ring.
Lubricant applied to this interface resolved the noise problem and allowed the project to maintain schedule without any additional costs.

JPL Wheel Drive Actuator Extended Life Test Independent Review Team
A consequence of changes to its mission on Mars will require the Perseverance Rover to travel farther than originally planned.
Designed to drive 20 km, the rover will now need to drive ~91 km to rendezvous and support Mars sample tube transfer to the Sample Retrieval Lander.
The wheel drive actuators with integral brakes had only been life tested to 40 km, so a review was scheduled to discuss an extended life test.
The OCE Science Mission Directorate Chief Engineer assembled an independent review team (IRT) that included NESC Mechanical Systems TDT members.
This IRT issued findings and guidance that questioned details of the JPL assumptions and plan. Several important recommendations were made that improved the life test plan and led to the identification of brake software issues that were reducing brake life.
The life test has achieved 40 km of its 137 km goal and is ongoing. In addition, software updates were sent to the rover to improve brake life.
Orion Crew Module Hydrazine Valve
When an Orion crew module hydrazine valve failed to close, the production team asked the Mechanical Systems TDT for help.
A TDT member attended two meetings and then visited the valve manufacturer, where it was determined this valve was a scaled-down version of the 12-inch SLS prevalve that was the subject of a previous NESC assessment and shared similar issues.
The Orion Program requested NESC materials and mechanical systems support.
The Mechanical Systems TDT member then worked closely with a Lockheed Martin (LM) Fellow for Mechanisms to review all the valve vendor’s detailed drawings and assembly procedures and document any issues.
A follow-on meeting was held to brief both the LM and NASA Technical Fellows for Propulsion that a redesign and requalification was recommended.
These recommendations have now been elevated to the LM Vice President for Mission Success and the LM Chief Engineer for Orion.

Volcanic Vistas of the Guatemala Highlands
Dec 26, 2024
Between 158,000 and 40,000 years ago, at least three explosive eruptions—including the first-documented super-eruption in Central America—reshaped the landscape of southwestern Guatemala.
The activity created a huge caldera that filled with water and formed Lago de Atitlán (Lake Atitlán).
The modern-day lake and volcanic landscape are visible in this image, acquired on January 17, 2024, with the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8.
The data were draped over a digital elevation model from NASA’s SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) to emphasize the terrain.
Since the super-eruption about 85,000 years ago, three “new” volcanoes have formed along the southern side of the caldera rim.
Volcán Atitlán is the most active, youngest, and tallest. Its forested slopes are replaced by rocky terrain near the summit, especially on the southern side, deposited there during past eruptions.
Explosive eruptions at Atitlán have been documented since the 15th century, with the most recent known event occurring in 1853. Atitlán has been known to release volcanic gases between explosive events.
In contrast, nearby Volcán San Pedro and Volcán Tolimán lie dormant. Past activity at Tolimán, however, has left behind thick, hardened lava flows that form the irregular shape of Lago de Atitlán’s southern shoreline.
Elsewhere around the shore, the land is dotted with towns (gray) and agricultural land (light brown). Coffee, corn, beans, wheat, potatoes, sugar cane, and vegetables are commonly grown in the region.
Lago de Atitlán, which plunges to a maximum depth of about 340 meters (1,115 feet), is thought to be the deepest lake in Central America and appears a striking shade of blue.
Some areas, however, display a slight tinge of green. This color might be due to sediment washed into the lake carried by the rivers at the lake’s northern side.
Some of it might be due to blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria—single-celled organisms that can grow swiftly when nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen are abundant in still water.
Blooms of these cyanobacteria now occur most years, with significant blooms appearing in Lago de Atitlán in October-November 2009 and August 2015.
The Lake Atitlán Forecasting System, however, indicated that the probability of a bloom on the day of this image was about 42 percent.
That’s low, according to Africa Flores-Anderson, a research physical scientist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.
Flores-Anderson, who worked with scientists from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, the joint USAID-NASA SERVIR program, and Lake Atitlán’s environmental authority to design the forecasting system, noted that blooms typically occur when probabilities reach 60 percent or higher.
In abundance, cyanobacteria can produce toxins and lead to dead zones. Modern societies may not be the only ones to have grappled with these issues.
Researchers found evidence in sediment cores that bloom events may have coincided with ancient Maya settlements around the lake 1,000 years ago.

Lev Tahor crumbling with leaders in jail, opponents say, as raid deals cult new blow
Amid Guatemalan crackdown, Jewish activists opposed to extremist group say dozens have left in the last year, crediting the prosecution of top members for kidnapping and abuse
On the seventh night of Hanukkah in 2018, three men parked a rental car outside a home in the town of Woodridge in upstate New York. At 2:56 a.m., one of the men made a phone call and two children exited the house and got into the car. The group drove to an airport in Pennsylvania, donned disguises, and boarded a flight, fleeing the US for Mexico.
The boy and girl were the grandchildren of Shlomo Helbrans, the founder of Lev Tahor, an extremist Jewish cult. The kidnapping of the pair that night would end up sending most of the group’s leadership to prison and help unravel the tight-knit community’s infrastructure. Last week’s seizure of children from the group’s compound by authorities in Guatemala, where most Lev Tahor adherents live, over allegations of child abuse, served as yet another blow to the disintegrating group.
“Most of the leadership are not there, so the cult is missing the main ingredient of a cult, which is that charismatic leader,” a member of an opposition group called Lev Tahor Survivors told The Times of Israel this week.
A spokesperson for Lev Tahor denied allegations of abuse to the Times of Israel on Thursday and claimed the group was the victim of religious persecution orchestrated by Israel. He acknowledged the group was struggling, but contested it had little to do with the prosecution of its leaders.
Founded by Helbrans in Jerusalem in the 1980s, Lev Tahor has been dogged by allegations of child abuse for years. The group jumped borders for years, under scrutiny from authorities, with members seeking refuge at various times in Canada, Iran, Bosnia, and Morocco, among other locations.
They landed in Guatemala in the mid-2010s, setting up a closed compound near the town of Oratorio, close to the border with El Salvador.

Kīlauea began erupting again on December 23, 2024.
This is the eighth eruption of Kīlauea, and the sixth within Kaluapele, since 2020. These previous eruptions within Kaluapele lasted from less than one week to more than a year in duration. This history of activity, along with continued summit inflation, suggests that eruptive activity may continue to pause and resume in the coming days or weeks.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe: What Happens Next After Sun Flyby?
Dec 27, 2024 at 6:31 AM EST
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has once again made history, completing its closest-ever approach to the sun on December 24, 2024.
Hurtling through the solar corona at an astonishing 430,000 miles per hour and enduring temperatures nearing 1,800°F, the spacecraft ventured just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface.
After a tense period without contact, mission controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) received a reassuring beacon tone late on December 26, confirming Parker's health and operational status.
As scientists await detailed data from the flyby, set to arrive on January 1, 2025, the probe's survival marks a critical milestone in science's quest to unravel the mysteries of our closest star.
Newsweek contacted NASA and Johns Hopkins APL via email for further comment.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is a groundbreaking mission to dive into the sun's atmosphere, enduring extreme heat and radiation to give humanity its first-ever close-up sampling of a star's outer layers.
Launched in 2018, the spacecraft is equipped with cutting-edge thermal engineering and instruments to study the sun's magnetic fields, plasma, energetic particles and the solar wind.
The probe is named after the late Eugene N. Parker, a pioneer in solar physics who predicted the existence of the solar wind.
Designed to orbit the sun in highly elliptical loops, Parker uses Venus's gravity to accelerate and adjust its path for close encounters with the solar corona.
The Parker Solar Probe's discoveries have already transformed our understanding of the sun and its influence on Earth.
By answering long-standing questions—such as why the corona is hotter than the sun's surface and how solar wind accelerates—it provides critical data for forecasting space weather.
These insights protect satellites, power grids and astronauts from solar radiation.
"This is a monumental and audacious achievement," Helene Winters, Parker Solar Probe's project manager from Johns Hopkins APL, said in a statement.
"Parker Solar Probe is changing the field of heliophysics. After years of braving the heat and dust of the inner solar system, taking blasts of solar energy and radiation that no spacecraft has ever seen, Parker Solar Probe continues to thrive."
On December 24, 2024, Parker completed its closest-ever approach to the sun, passing just 3.8 million miles from its surface at a record-breaking speed of 430,000 miles per hour.
For context, if the distance between Earth and the sun was equivalent to the length of a football field, this closest approach would be around 4 yards from the end zone.
This latest flyby marks the spacecraft's 23rd close flyby and brings it deeper into the corona than ever before.
When data is returned, it will provide unprecedented details of the sun's behavior during its 11-year solar maximum.
NASA confirmed the probe's health on December 27, 2024, when a beacon tone signaled its successful navigation through the sun's outer atmosphere.
The mission team anticipates receiving detailed telemetry data on January 1, 2025, which will include observations about the solar wind, corona heating and the origins of high-energy solar particles.
Previous mission highlights include: sampling particles and magnetic fields in the sun's atmosphere, becoming the first spacecraft to "touch the sun" in 2021; capturing images of Venus' surface in visible wavelengths and studying its atmosphere;
observing dust thinning near the sun, confirming a theorized dust-free zone; and detecting magnetic reconnection events in the corona, linked to solar wind acceleration and corona heating.
Parker Solar Probe's journey isn't over just yet. It will continue its highly elliptical orbit, making two more close passes of the sun in March and June 2025.
After completing its primary mission in June 2025, the probe will remain in orbit to conduct additional observations until its onboard fuel runs out.
Without corrective thrusts, the solar wind will gradually push the spacecraft out of alignment with Earth, ending its ability to transmit data.
When its mission concludes, most of the probe will incinerate, leaving only its carbon heat shield to orbit the sun for potentially billions of years, until the very end of the solar system itself.

Former FBI and CIA head prods Senate to reject Patel, Gabbard

William Webster, the only person to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither nominee meets the demands of top intelligence jobs.
Kierra Frazier

A former head of the FBI and CIA is raising objections over whether Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Donald Trump's picks to be directors of the FBI and national intelligence, respectively, are qualified to serve in the Cabinet.
In a letter to senators on Thursday, William Webster, the only person to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither nominee meets the demands of top intelligence jobs.
Webster, who is 100 years old, praised Patel's patriotism but wrote that his allegiance to Trump was concerning.== (The Bush clan put him up to this, or wrote it in his name.)
“His record of executing the president’s directives suggest a loyalty to individuals rather than the rule of law — a dangerous precedent for an agency tasked with impartial enforcement of justice,” he said.
When it came to Gabbard, Webster wrote that her "profound lack" of intelligence experience stood in contrast to the seasoned leadership needed for the role.
“Effective management of our intelligence community requires unparalleled expertise to navigate the complexities of global threats and to maintain the trust of allied nations,” he wrote.“Without that trust, our ability to safeguard sensitive secrets and collaborate internationally is severely diminished.”(You fuckers lost America's trust a long time ago, and foreign IC are just as bad as ours)
Trump's transition did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Webster was appointed FBI director in 1978 by President Jimmy Carterand remained director under President Ronald Reagan until 1987.Reagan tappedhim to be head of the CIA until 1991, under President George H.W. Bush.
“I urge you to weigh the critical importance of nonpartisan leadership and experience,” Webster wrote.“The safety of the American people — and your own families — depends on it.”(that sounds like a veiled threat to me! Why wasn't he so concerned about who Bidan was appointing?)

(==Why is a Deep Stater thats 100 years old, even have a voice in the room? Just enjoy your last years? I bet we find out he's been in a coma for a year or more! The weird thing is he thinks the Senate will listen to him, he's been out of gov for 30 or more years.)

Quantum computers in space? Google’s CEO and Elon Musk are planning a revolution
December 27, 2024
The future of technology often feels like science fiction, and a recent conversation between Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, and Elon Musk of SpaceX proved just that.
With Google unveiling its groundbreaking quantum chip Willow, a bold idea was floated—launching quantum computers into space.
This visionary concept could not only transform quantum computing but also push the boundaries of modern science as we know it.
Google’s Quantum Leap with Willow
Quantum computing has long promised to solve problems far beyond the reach of traditional computers, and Google’s Willow chip seems to be delivering on that vision.
In a recent demonstration, the chip completed a complex calculation in just five minutes—a task that would take classical supercomputers billions of years.
Google’s researchers describe this milestone as exceeding the known scales of physics, potentially unlocking groundbreaking possibilities in scientific research and technological development.
But despite its promise, the field of quantum computing faces significant challenges.
Quantum chips require isolation from electromagnetic interference and must operate at extremely low temperatures—conditions that are difficult to achieve on Earth.
These limitations hinder large-scale deployment and raise the question: Where can quantum computers thrive without such constraints?
Starship’s Role in the Quantum Future
Enter SpaceX’s Starship, the world’s most powerful spacecraft designed for ambitious missions such as lunar landings and the colonization of Mars.
With its ability to transport massive payloads, Starship could offer an unexpected solution: creating a quantum cluster in space.
During a conversation on X (formerly Twitter), Sundar Pichai proposed sending quantum computers into orbit to take advantage of the ideal conditions offered by space.
Free from Earth’s interference and with the ability to maintain stable, low temperatures, orbiting quantum systems could revolutionize how we process data and conduct research.
Elon Musk, ever the innovator, responded enthusiastically, suggesting that such a project could become a reality. Musk has long been an advocate for futuristic ideas, and this proposal aligns with his broader vision of leveraging space for human advancement.
A New Frontier for Energy and Innovation
The conversation didn’t stop at quantum computing. Musk also emphasized the untapped potential of solar energy, noting that humans currently use only about 5% of the sun’s available power.
He proposed installing large-scale solar farms in deserts to increase usage to 30%, and even hinted at future technologies like Dyson spheres, structures that could capture the sun’s energy on an unimaginable scale.
This fusion of ideas—quantum computing in space and maximizing solar energy—paints an ambitious picture of the future, where technological breakthroughs address some of humanity’s most pressing challenges.
The Promise of Quantum in Space
While the concept of deploying quantum computers in orbit is still in its infancy, the potential benefits are vast.
From advancing climate modeling to solving complex problems in medicine and materials science, space-based quantum systems could unlock capabilities far beyond what’s currently possible.
By combining Google’s expertise in quantum technology with SpaceX’s revolutionary Starship, Pichai and Musk are charting a course for a future where innovation knows no bounds. The next step? Turning this bold vision into reality.
One thing is clear: the collaboration between these two tech giants is a glimpse of what’s to come, and it’s nothing short of extraordinary.

Alexander Downer Exposes FBI's Deceit In Opening Russia Investigation

A few days ago, our friend Stephen McIntyre, one of the original Russiagate investigators, sent a tweet to revisit a question that many of us have pondered for years but which has never been fully resolved. As a result, we finally now have the answer. That is because, in response to McIntyre’s tweet, the key figure has come forward to confirm what many of us have suspected all along.
McIntyre's tweet highlighted that, according to the FBI, it was Australian diplomat Alexander Downer who initiated the inception of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, the narratives surrounding this event differ significantly between Downer's account in Special Counsel John Durham’s report and the FBI's version. Downer has now stepped forward to affirm Durham's version with a three-word tweet: “Durham is right”. This development carries substantial implications for the entire Russiagate saga, particularly regarding its fraudulent origins.
Downer’s confirmation represents a significant breakthrough in unraveling the final puzzle pieces of Russiagate, not necessarily because the information is new or surprising, but rather because it confirms that the FBI was aware from the outset that its justification for initiating the Trump-Russia investigation was phony.
The two competing versions of the Crossfire Hurricane origin story can be summarized as follows: According to the FBI, Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos met with Australia’s ambassador in London, Alexander Downer, and Downer’s assistant, Erika Thompson. During this meeting, Papadopoulos is supposed to have “suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion” that Russia might assist the Trump campaign by anonymously releasing damaging information about Hillary Clinton prior to the 2016 election.
Robert Mueller went one step further, claiming that what Papadopoulos had talked about was “that the Russian government had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.”

Trump's Canada Statehood Joke Catching on as Even Investor/Reality Star Floats Idea of New Relationship
By C. Douglas Golden December 27, 2024 at 7:53am
It’s an idea that’s caught on so strongly that even Canadian reality TV star and real estate mogul Kevin O’Leary is talking about it on cable news.
O’Leary — best known for his “Mr. Wonderful” persona on the show “Shark Tank,” where he’s one of the panel of deep-pocketed investors — appeared on Fox Business Thursday, where he said that the topic has become a hot one among Canadians.
“Canadians over the holidays – the last two days – have been talking about this,” O’Leary said. “They want to hear more.”

Late-night hosts relentlessly made Donald Trump the focus of nearly all of their jokes before the presidential election, but failed to sway the voting, as revealed by a new study.
A shocking 98 percent of the jokes made by Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Saturday Night Live in the lead up to Election Day made Trump the butt of the joke, according to media watchdog group Media Research Center.
As many as 1,428 of the 1,463 political jokes on these shows - from September 3 through October 25 - were targeted at Trump, the study found.
'That's a whopping 40:1 ratio or almost 98 percent to 2 percent,' said MRC analyst Alex Christy, as reported by Fox News.
Even when the late-night hosts mocked then-nominee Joe Biden, they often softened the jokes with comments about Trump.

Are we still supposed to trust Musk working with Vivek on DOGE?
At this point, I'm beginning to believe what Bibi said about Musk being the president...Am I right or way off base?

Spring father of two dead from fentanyl overdose will have ashes sent to space
December 26, 2024 7:17am CST
In 2022, David and Melanie Jinkins, like any parents, weren't ready to say goodbye to their son.
"Kindyn came into this world a little early, he was two-months premature, and unfortunately he left early too, at 27," said Melanie.
His parents say he died after taking a pill he didn't know was laced.
"He passed away from an accidental drug overdose, fentanyl," said David Jinkins.
His parents say Kindyn had a passion for space and a dream to make it accessible to the average person.
"He was in school to work for SpaceX," said Melanie Jinkins. "He wanted it to be affordable for everybody, he wanted to further our technology."
They decided to honor his dream by sending Kindyn's ashes on a Celestis Memorial SpaceFlight.
Melanie says she'd rather her son be in a seat on a rocket, but this is a true tribute to what he believed in.
Kindyn will be on the Serenity flight. It will be the 24th memorial flight the Houston-based company is launching. They've also launched two flights to the moon and one to deep space.
"The flight is going to launch in mid-2025 on a Falcon 9 rocket," said Colby Youngblood, President of Celestis Memorial SpaceFlights.
The capsule with Kindyn's ashes will be attached to a satellite which will orbit the Earth for three to five years. The satellite will then be decommissioned.
"As it enters Earth's atmosphere, and it burns up - becoming a shooting star," said Youngblood.
He says their services fall in the price range of the average American funeral.
"We love our job, we love what we do, and it brings a lot of joy to us to see the closure we can bring to these families," he said.
Kindyn's parents say this is something they know their son would want, something that captures what his life work was aiming for.
"I can't tell you how grateful I am for that. I can't," said Melanie Jinkins.
Youngblood says they are still accepting reservations for the Serenity flight. You can find out more about their organization here.

US Appeals Court Halts Enforcement of Anti-Money Laundering Law
https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/anti-money-laundering-law-appeals/2024/12/27/id/1193021/
A U.S. appeals court has halted enforcement of an anti-money laundering law that requires corporate entities to disclose the identities of their real beneficial owners to the U.S. Treasury Department ahead of a deadline for most companies to do so.
The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Thursday reinstated a nationwide injunction that had been issued earlier this month by a federal judge in Texas who had concluded the Corporate Transparency Act was unconstitutional.
The order marked a change of course for the court. On Monday, a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit at the urging of the U.S. Department of Justice put the injunction on hold while the government appealed the Texas judge's decision.
But a different panel will ultimately decide whether to uphold the judge's ruling, and in Thursday's order, the court said it decided to keep enforcement of the law paused "to preserve the constitutional status quo while the merits panel considers the parties' weighty substantive arguments."
Most companies had before Thursday's order faced a Jan. 13 deadline to submit their initial reports to the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
The injunction had been obtained by the National Federation of Independent Business, which along with several small businesses challenged the law through lawyers at the conservative Center for Individual Rights.
"Given that we have established that the CTA is likely unconstitutional, this intrusive form of government surveillance should be halted until the law's fate is finally resolved," Todd Gaziano, the Center for Individual Rights' president, said in a statement.
FinCEN did not respond to requests for comment.
Under the law, which was enacted in 2021, corporations and LLCs were required to report information concerning their beneficial owners to FinCEN, which collects and analyzes information about financial transactions to combat money laundering and other crimes.
The measure's supporters said it was designed to address the country's growing popularity as a venue for criminals to launder illicit funds by setting up entities like limited liability companies under state laws without disclosing their involvement.
U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant in Sherman, Texas, on Dec. 3 ruled Congress had no authority under its powers to regulate commerce, taxes and foreign affairsto adopt the "quasi-Orwellian statute" and that it likely violated states' rights under the U.S. Constitution's Tenth Amendment.

Just a fraction of the hydrogen hidden beneath Earth's surface could power Earth for 200 years, scientists find
December 26, 2024
A mountain of hydrogen is lurking beneath Earth's surface — and scientists say that just a fraction of it could break our dependence on fossil fuels for 200 years.
New research suggests the planet holds around 6.2 trillion tons (5.6 trillion metric tons) of hydrogen in rocks and underground reservoirs.
That's roughly 26 times the amount of oil known to be left in the ground (1.6 trillion barrels, each weighing approximately 0.15 tons) — but where these hydrogen stocks are located remains unknown.
Most of the hydrogen is likely too deep or too far offshore to be accessed, and some of the reserves are probably too small to extract in a way that makes economical sense, the researchers suspect.
However, the results indicate there's more than enough hydrogen to go around, even with those limitations, Geoffrey Ellis, a petroleum geochemist at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and lead author of the new study, told Space.com's sister site, Live Science.
Hydrogen is a source of clean energy that can fuel vehicles, power industrial processes and generate electricity.
Just 2% of the hydrogen stocks found in the study, equivalent to 124 billion tons (112 billion metric tons) of gas, "would supply all the hydrogen we need to get to net-zero [carbon] for a couple hundred years," Ellis said.
The energy released by that amount of hydrogen is roughly twice the energy stored in all the known natural gas reserves on Earth, Ellis and his co-author Sarah Gelman, also a USGS geologist, noted in the study.
The results were published Friday (Dec. 13) in the journal Science Advances.
To estimate the amount of hydrogen inside Earth, the researchers used a model that accounted for the rate at which the gas is produced underground, the amount likely to be trapped in reservoirs, and the amount lost through various processes, such as leaking out of rocks and into the atmosphere.
Hydrogen is created through chemical reactions in rocks, the simplest being a reaction that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, Ellis said.
"There's actually dozens of natural processes that are capable of generating hydrogen, but most of them generate very small amounts," he said.
Until recently, researchers didn't realize that hydrogen accumulates beneath Earth's surface.
"The paradigm throughout my entire career was that hydrogen's out there, it occurs, but it's a very small molecule, so it easily escapes through small pores and cracks and rocks," Ellis explained.
But when scientists discovered a huge cache of hydrogen in West Africa, and then another in an Albanian chromium mine, that paradigm shifted.
It's now clear that hydrogen does build up in reservoirs in the Earth, and the new study suggests some of those accumulations could be sizable.
"I was surprised that the results were larger than I thought going in," Ellis said. "The takeaway is that there is a lot down there."
But it's important to note that there is huge uncertainty surrounding these results, he said, as the model showed there could be anywhere from 1 billion to 10 trillion tons of hydrogen down there.
(The most probable value, based on the assumptions of the model, was 6.2 trillion tons.)
Hydrogen is projected to account for up to 30% of the future energy supply in some sectors, and global demand is expected to rise fivefold by 2050.
The gas is produced artificially through electrolysis of water, where water molecules are broken down with electric currents.
When renewable energy is used, the product is called "green hydrogen," and when fossil fuels are used, it's known as "blue hydrogen."
The benefits of tapping natural hydrogen are that it doesn't require a source of energy to produce, and underground reservoirs can hold the gas until it is needed.
"We don't have to worry about storage, which is something that with the blue hydrogen or green hydrogen you do — you want to make it when electricity is cheap and then you have to store it somewhere," Ellis said.
With natural hydrogen, "you could just open a valve and close it whenever you needed it."
The big question that remains is where exactly all this hydrogen is located, which will affect whether it is accessible.
Ellis and colleagues are making strides toward narrowing down the geologic criteria needed to form accumulations underground, and the results for the U.S. could be published early next year, he said.

Jeffrey Sachs: The Inevitable War With Iran, and Biden’s Attempts to Sabotage Trump
Tucker Carlson interviewed Jeffrey Sachs, an American economist and public policy analyst who is a professor at Columbia University and is President of the globalist UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He was also a professor at Harvard University and created the method for stabilizing economies became known as ‘shock therapy’ that focuses on privatization. He was criticized for his role after the Russian economy faced significant struggles after the sell off of valuable assets in the early 1990s. He denies that he was part of the scandalous sell-off of Russian assets. Despite his background, Sachs is now an outspoken critic of US hegemony, the CIA and wars fought for the benefit of Israel. This interview has had more than 35 million views on X.
Sachs explained to Tucker how Syria’s government was recently toppled by jihadis as a result of for 30 years of aggression by Israel, which has been funded and aided in its mission to “remake the Middle East” by the United States. He says that Israel controls US foreign policy and its never-ending wars provide zero benefit to America. Sachs provides evidence in the form of official policy documents. –JW Williams

Euthanasia Is “Out of Control in Canada” as it is the Cause of 1 in 20 Deaths
Canada: New statistics show that around 4.7% of deaths resulted from assisted suicide that was made legal under the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program in 2016. A report showed that 15,343 people died through MAID in 2023, an increase of more than 15% from 2022. Almost 50% of all people seeking death by euthanasia mentioned ‘being a burden’ as a reason.
Many people who opted for MAID cited ‘Loneliness and isolation’ as the reason for their wish to end their lives. In 2021, MAID was extended to people with no terminal illness and the disabled. In March 2027, anyone with a serious mental health problem will also be eligible.
The Executive Director of Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Alex Schadenberg said: “Euthanasia is out of control in Canada.”

China suffers commercial rocket failure but sets record for annual launches
December 27, 2024
A Chinese commercial Kinetica-1 solid rocket failed late Thursday, with the launch attempt setting a new domestic record for launches in a calendar year.
The Kinetica-1 (Lijian-1) solid rocket lifted off at 8:03 p.m. Eastern Dec. 26 (0103 UTC Dec. 27) from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Area at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Rocket operator CAS Space confirmed the failure hours after liftoff.
“We can confirm that the first two stages were nominal. Stage 3 lost attitude three seconds after ignition and the self-destructing mechanism was activated,” CAS Space said in a statement.
It added that the investigation into the cause of the anomaly is ongoing. CAS Space is a launch spinoff from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, aiming to secure contracts to launch domestic and international payloads.
Aboard were an undeclared number of satellites.
These are known to include CASAA-Sat from the Marseille Astrophysics Laboratory (LAM), supported by French space agency CNES, a cubesat intended to study the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly, and DEAR-3 (B300-L01), a 300-kilogram cargo spacecraft from Chinese commercial space firm AZSpace.
The spacecraft carried science payloads.
The Kinetica-1 failure is the first loss of the solid rocket. The previous five missions were all successful, with the previous launch taking place in November.
CAS Space is planning the first launch of its kerosene-liquid oxygen Kinetica-2 rocket in the second half of 2025. The rocket will launch the Qingzhou low-cost cargo spacecraft.
2024 China launch breakdown
The launch was China’s 68th launch attempt of 2024, surpassing the national record of 67 launches in a calendar year, set in 2023.
The 68 launches include two failures, both of commercial solid rockets: Kinetica-1 and Hyperbola-1 from iSpace in July.
China is second for launches in 2024 behind the U.S., with over 150 launches including Rocket Lab launches from New Zealand, and ahead of Russia, with 17 launches.
U.S. launches were dominated by the SpaceX Falcon 9, while Russia’s annual launch activity continued to decline, from 25 in 2021, 22 in 2022 and 19 in 2023.
China overall fell well short of a 100 launches forecast by state-owned main space contractor CASC early in the year. This number included around 70 launches from CASC and around 30 launches from commercial actors.
Both CASC and commercial companies such as Landspace (Zhuque-2), Galactic Energy (Ceres-1) and Orienspace (Gravity-1) fell short of planned numbers of launches.
CASC’s launch manifest is opaque, meaning assessing causes of a lower than expected launch cadence is difficult.
China is working to address a bottleneck in access to launch facilities, including new commercial launch areas at Wenchang and Jiuquan and sea launches.
Despite the advance in launch numbers, China appears to have remained reliant on older rockets and smaller solid rockets. Nearly half (32) of all launches used hypergolic Long March 2, 3 and 4 series rockets.
Light-lift solid rockets accounted for 17 further launches (five Ceres-1 launches, four Kinetica-1, four Kuaizhou-1 rockets, two Jielong-3 rockets, one Hyperbola-1 and one Kuaizhou-11).
Jiuquan was the busiest Chinese spaceport, supporting 21 launches, with 19 from Xichang. There were six sea launches, in addition to 13 launches from Taiyuan and nine from Wenchang.
The launches included debut flights for the commercial Gravity-1 solid rocket from Orienspace, the enhanced methalox Zhuque-2E from Landspace, the enhanced Kuaizhou-1A solid rocket from CASIC/Expace and the Long March 6C and Long March 12 from CASC’s Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST).
The Long March 6A upper stage meanwhile suffered a number of debris-creating events.
China also sent a national record of more than 260 spacecraft sent into orbit in 2024, well beyond the record 221 spacecraft launched in 2023.
This is in part due to the first launches for the Qianfan (Thousand Sails) and Guowang (National Net) megaconstellation projects.
Both are expected to drive further increases in Chinese launch activity in the coming years.

Inside Christmas Eve at Mar-a-Lago: Donald Trump DJs holiday celebration
1 hour ago
Ivanka Trump spent Christmas Eve at Mar-a-Lago while her dad, President-elect Donald Trump, played DJ, sources tell Page Six.
Ivanka, 43, appeared at her dad’s private Palm Beach, Fla., club in a “form-fitting, below-the-knee, all white dress with bare shoulders, but long sleeves,”a spy told Page Six. She attended the event with husband Jared Kushner, 43, and their three children, we hear.
Ivanka also posted another pic at the club from Christmas night in a one-shoulder, form-fitting black dress with a dramatic white flower print on it.
The insider added that,“Melania wore a perfectly fitted chic black pantsuit with discrete jewelry and her large diamond wedding ring.”
A source said that tickets for the Christmas Eve event at the club went for $350-a-pop.
An insider told us of the gathering:“No Elon, no Don Jr. and his gf, no Eric and Lara Trump… the family arrived at 7:30p.m. and left at 9:00p.m.”
(The source was of course referring to Tesla mogul and Trump confidante Elon Musk, as well as Donald Trump Jr., and his eldest son’s new love interest, Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.)
However Don Jr. and Anderson were seen the next day at the Trump family Christmas Day celebration — and Anderson was in a festive red dress.
We also hear that the Donald DJ’d the Christmas Eve celebration.
“The president played a serious set and was very into the music,” said the source, adding that the presidential playlist included, “Andrea Bocelli [singing the] theme from ‘Phantom of the Opera,'” as well as the 1966 Elvis Presley holiday tune, “If Every Day Was Like Christmas.”
“He closed his set with ‘Y.M.C.A.’ and some of the crowd jumped up and started doing ‘the Trump dance,'” said the source.
“The President-elect [also] started doing his signature dance and the room burst into applause and cheers. The ballroom was filled, but not overcrowded, because the size of these holiday events is being limited.”
The source noted that,“There were no toasts by [Trump], but Ivanka was observed raising her glass and saying something with a smile to her father and Melania.”
Trump has been known to regularly DJ at Mar-a-Lago from his iPad at dinners.

Spacecoin deploys first satellite for decentralized space connectivity
December 27, 2024
Spacecoin said it is successfully communicating with a recently launched debut connectivity satellite, designed to test technology for a decentralized space-based network shared by multiple investors.
“We have established regular communication with the satellite,” Spacecoin founder Tae Oh said, following SpaceX’s Dec. 21 Falcon 9 rideshare mission to low Earth orbit.
The venture aims to start testing its CTC-0 small satellite early next year, initially demonstrating space-enabled text messaging to a specialized handheld antenna but ultimately directly to standard smartphones.
Oh spun the venture out of U.S.-based software firm Gluwa, which specializes in providing financial services to emerging markets using blockchain, a distributed ledger technology often associated with cryptocurrencies that acts like a digital record book.
For Spacecoin, the Creditcoin blockchain platform would help manage a constellation of small satellites by securely tracking operations and facilitating payments without a central authority.
CTC, the shorthand symbol — or ticker — for Creditcoin, functions as the transaction medium within the network.
Oh said the network would be more secure without a centralized authority and censorship resistant.
“By having a decentralized platform, you don’t need to get third party [government or telco] permission,” he said, “you can get directly connected to your content provider, person, or the machine that you want to communicate with.”
He said anyone who adheres to Spacecoin’s open standards — and willing to invest in building and deploying at least one satellite — can participate as a connectivity provider within the network.
An investor would get a pro-rata share of revenues, depending on how much their satellites are used within the broader constellation.
“Let’s say you were a Nigerian telco and launching satellites just to cover Nigeria,” Spacecoin CEO Stuart Gardner said in an interview, “as those satellites traverse and leave Nigerian airspace [they] sit idle until they come back around to target the Nigerian region.
“But, by being part of a broader constellation, as those satellites pass over other areas and other jurisdictions where we have customers, your satellite can then start to provide a service to those regions as well.”
Seeding the network
The CTC-0 prototype was based on Bulgarian manufacturer Endurosat’s 8U model, about eight times the size of a standard cubesat measuring 10 centimeters a side.
CTC-1 slated to launch next year would be 16U, according to Spacecoin, and the venture plans to start transitioning from nanosatellites to microsatellites to significantly boost performance from CTC-2.
“We will also be open-sourcing our designs for our payload and technology,” Gardner added, “so that other satellite companies, manufacturers, or other people who are interested in the space economy can participate in the network.
“Over time, as other companies join our network, it starts to become increasingly decentralized.”
Using funds from Gluwa, Gardner said the startup already has several other satellites in the works to help seed the constellation next year.
Initial satellites would be designed to provide connectivity in the hundreds of kilobits per second range, enabling text messaging and connectivity for small tracking and monitoring devices.
Depending upon the performance of initial satellites, future spacecraft will eventually be geared for higher data rates to support voice calls.
The venture declined to detail the number of satellites it is planning and when they could launch.
Gardner said the venture has already identified low data rate business cases for the roughly 2.6 billion people in the world without internet.
“One of the prospective clients we’re speaking to in India told us that they have 20 million fishermen in southern India who every day go out to sea with zero connectivity,” he said.
“And they are very interested, even at the most basic level, if they can provide SMS capabilities … to these fishermen.”
According to Spacecoin, sharing infrastructure via blockchain protocols could help the company reduce monthly internet costs to around $1-2 per user in emerging markets.
Initial tests would take place in Nigeria, which is among the first countries to approve the venture’s Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) spectrum license in the S and L bands.
Spacecoin is not the only company seeking to leverage blockchain capabilities in orbit.
The startup also faces competition from established and global MSS connectivity providers Viasat and Iridium.
Meanwhile, SpaceX and others are seeking to use cellular frequencies to provide direct-to-smartphone connectivity in partnership with local telcos.

Centuries-old angels uncovered at Boston church made famous by Paul Revere
>Visitors to the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts, have apparently entertained angels unawares.
Eight paintings of the biblical beings were recently uncovered from thick layers of paint in the historic Boston church, the Associated Press reported Monday.
They’ve remained hidden for more than 100 years.
While the paintings were originally created around 1730, church officials had them covered in 1912 as part of a renovation.
The art depicts the angels with wings and round child-like faces.

True Anomaly achieves milestone with Jackal satellite deployment
December 26, 2024
Space technology startup True Anomaly announced a key milestone after successfully deploying and establishing communication with its Jackal satellite on its second mission.
True Anomaly is seeking to carve out a niche in the defense and national security market with spacecraft designed for military orbital operations and space domain awareness.
The Jackal satellite launched Dec. 21 on SpaceX’s Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission was the company’s third spacecraft sent to orbit.
The first two launched in March 2024 to low Earth orbit to demonstrate rendezvous and proximity operations, but communication was lost with the satellites shortly after launch.
True Anomaly’s co-founder and CEO Even Rogers said in a statement Dec. 23 that Jackal’s second mission was successful.
“We have now successfully contacted, downlinked data, and commanded Jackal, our Autonomous Orbital Vehicle, via Mosaic, our software platform, as it makes laps around the Earth,” he said.
‘Learnings from first launch’
In the company’s second mission, the Jackal is serving as a testbed for upgraded hardware and software.
“The team incorporated many of the learnings and product improvements from its first launch,” said Rogers.
This mission gives the company momentum as it prepares to execute a more complex one under contract with the U.S. Space Force.
True Anomaly is slated to participate in the Victus Haze mission in 2025, part of the military’s Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) program.
The program aims to demonstrate advanced in-orbit rendezvous and proximity operations, with True Anomaly’s Jackal working alongside a Rocket Lab spacecraft.
Over the next year, True Anomaly plans to continue refining Jackal’s capabilities, said Chief Strategy Officer Frank DiPentino. The company manufactures its satellites in Centennial, Colorado.

Hearing Loss, Asthma Won't Disqualify Air Force and Space Force Recruits Under New Policy
December 26, 2024 at 3:04pm ET
Department of the Air Force recruiters will now offer waivers for future airmen and Space Force Guardians with certain diagnoses of asthma, hearing loss and food allergies, a major policy change that could open up service to more civilians.
The change, announced publicly this week, is expected to open up service to around 600 new applicants each year, the Department of the Air Force said in a news release.
"We are constantly evaluating how we can bring in the best talent while ensuring our members can serve effectively and safely," Brig. Gen. Christopher Amrhein, the commander of the Air Force Ascensions Center, said in the release.
"By expanding waiver criteria for manageable health conditions, we can access a wider pool of qualified applicants without compromising mission readiness."
The new waivers come as the Air Force managed to scrape by its active-duty recruiting goals, in large part due to policy changes for recruits ranging from allowing higher percentages of body fat to permitting certain tattoo sizes.
Under the prior policy, all cases of asthma no matter the severity were disqualifying conditions for service, Col. David Gregory, director of the Accession Medical Waiver division at the Air Force Ascensions Center, said in the news release.
Now, applicants with diagnosed asthma can join. "provided they do not require daily preventive medication, and their rescue inhaler use is kept to a minimum," the service explained.
In addition to waivers for asthma, the service will now start waiving some circumstances of hearing loss.
If one ear has "moderate hearing impairment" and the other ear "meets the standards of mild hearing impairment," a waiver can be considered, the Air Force said in the release.
Applicants with diagnosed food allergies will also now be considered for a waiver, "provided there has been no anaphylaxis or serious systemic reaction," the service said.
Retired Chief Master Sgt. Eric Benken, the Air Force's top enlisted leader from 1996 to 1999 under former President Bill Clinton's Department of Defense, told Military.com in an interview Thursday that the changes were "long overdue."
"I trust the medical community of the Air Force to know when someone is deployable, when they're not deployable," Benken told Military.com. "I always felt that, in some cases, it was far too restrictive."
These new waiver changes followed the Department of the Air Force missing its recruiting goal in 2023, by 10%, for the first time since 1999.
In 2024, several policy changes led the way for the service to hit its active-duty goals, barely skating by with 39 extra enlisted recruits to hit its benchmark of 27,100 new service members.
Increasing the Department of the Air Force's body fat composition requirement up to 26% for men and 36% for women brought in a staggering 5,196 new recruits across the Air Force, Space Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard, Military.com previously reported.

Look I get the game and mean no disrespect, but I have never expected the "big influencers" to move to Gab and think they should stay and fight on X for as long as they can. They are of course always welcome and have a refuge when needed!
Gab is community funded by our users. I didn't raise a few billion from Blackrock and the usual suspects like X (and now Rumble with the Tether deal) to be able to pay out creators. Get that bag while you can, by all means and keep fighting. I urge you not to allow these recent moves to chill your speech in fear of a ban. The truth, our people and place matter more than your X account does. We are shifting the Overton Window drastically in our direction and can't let up now.
What I will say is that we clearly need our own platforms run by people who share our values unapologetically. A home base where we know for absolute certain that information will flow freely when it is needed most. That's what Gab wasand still isto millions of people. It literally saved lives during Covid by spreading awareness about the clot shot when discourse about it was banned everywhere else. It was crucial in documenting election fraud during the 2020 election. For 8 years now it has allowed discourse about "taboo" topics like the Great Replacement that are now in the mainstream discourse.
If you're a smaller account you will find Gab to be a wholesome level playing field where you have both freedom of speech and freedom of reach. It's a great community of our people and there's a big benefit to having less noise and more signal, which will amplify your voice instead of drowning it out in a sea of bot and foreign accounts that exist on X. It's a more cozy environment and we have thousands of groups with varying interests outside of politics too.

Here’s how the US burned millions ‘fighting propaganda’
Fed to the tune of $61 million a year, the Global Engagement Center was a failed attempt at narrative control
If the nosy grandma peering out the window were a government entity, it would be the Global Engagement Center. The priciest hall monitor in history has just been given a pink slip.
The Global Engagement Center, created by then President Barack Obama’s executive order in 2016, was supposed to help fight terrorist messaging. But the neocon majority in Congress successfully pushed for it to become more involved in fighting “Russian election interference” - or, more like flooding voters’ brains with the idea of it.
Its speech and narrative policing under the guise of combating fake news ultimately became so intolerable that its spending was just cut from the latest budget bill and its operations have now been shut down.
The center’s demise also may or may not have had something to do with the fact that it was exceptionally lazy and stupid, even as far as government initiatives go. American taxpayers have been paying $61 million a year for this entity to crank out a grand total of about eight reports over as many years. Yep, that’s about $61 million per report, one of which was called “Gendered Disinformation.”
Other activities include issuing press releases with titles like, “Faces of Kremlin Propaganda: Dmitri Peskov.” Oh wow, guys, you found one! And it’s none other than the public official whose actual job title is communications chief for the Kremlin. How many Americans would have otherwise been duped! Imagine Russians paying one of their government agencies tens of millions a year to “expose” the White House Press Secretary as speaking for Washington.
The center also spent a lot of resources promoting Russian-linked media as Russian-linked. And also as totally badass. They wouldn’t shut up about it, effectively generating one giant free advertising campaign targeting citizens who might be curious about this thing that’s managed to get under Washington’s skin so badly. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, citing the work of the center, called for the entire world to unite against RT. “We know that RT possesses cyber capabilities and engaged in covert information influence operations and military procurement,” he said in September 2024. Guess he was referring to my bulk ordering of missiles on Amazon Prime.
China was another obsession. “Every country should have the ability to tell its story to the world,” began a report from 2023 titled “How the People’s Republic of China Seeks to Reshape the Global Information Environment.” It then proceeded to tell China exactly how it shouldn’t be telling its story to the world.
The Center accused China of “digital authoritarianism” and using “intimidation to silence dissent and encourage self-censorship.” Sounds like US academia. Or the Global Engagement Center.
How about France’s arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov last summer, now charged with enabling crimes like pedocriminality, fraud, and drug trafficking just for having created the platform? President Emmanuel Macron wined and dined Durov personally from 2018 to 2021, even giving him fast track French citizenship, and is now behaving like a psycho ex who didn’t get what he wanted. Like maybe the encryption keys. No statement from the center on that one, huh? Or on the comments by Durov’s former PR guy suggesting that Macron is just acting as a wingman for Washington in all this.
The center’s latest partner is Kiev, with which they set up the Ukraine Communications Group, along with Poland, to fight Russia informationally. If they have such a crack team, then why is it all over social media that the latest campaign out of Kiev, honoring Ukrainian fighters killed in Russia’s Kursk region at schools and social centers, shows supporters holding up “hero” headshots of porn stars Johnny Sins of “Brazzers” fame and Billy Harrington, instead? How about the whole Azov neo-Nazi rebranding initiative? There’s such a lack of clarity or historical truth on that issue from the center that the entire Canadian parliament was brainwashed into clapping for a bona fide World War II-era Ukrainian Nazi last year.

A big shot employment attorney in California called me last night re: H1B visa fraud / trafficking of workers. Here’s what she said:
The market is cornered by visa body shops who apply for ~50% of the visas.
The economics of it: These body shops are headed by former hiring managers from Big Tech companies. They bring people to America, rent apartments for them, and house about 10 together in one apartment.
They put these recipients through a ~4 week bootcamp of basic tech training, fraudulently rewrite their resumes, teach them how to interview.
The body shops land them jobs, primarily at the companies these hiring managers came from, and pay the workers less than half of the money in hand.
Ex. Job is listed as a $200k salary, but the company is contracted with the body shop *not* the H1B worker, and the worker is actually paid closer to $40 an hour.
The body shops pocket most of the money and are making millions by essentially trafficking people.
The abuse and fraud must end!

New Bird-Inspired Drone “RAVEN” Can Walk, Hop, and Fly into the Future
Friday, December 27, 2024
Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have designed an innovative crewless aerial vehicle that mimics the movement of birds, setting a new standard for drone versatility.
Named RAVEN, short for Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments, this drone combines the ability to walk, hop, and leap into flight, granting it access to areas previously challenging for conventional drones.
This breakthrough could transform how we use drones across multiple industries with potential applications in disaster relief, delivery services, and infrastructure inspection.
A flight inspired by nature
The inspiration behind RAVEN came from observing how birds like crows and ravens transition seamlessly between walking, hopping, and flying.
Won Dong Shin, a PhD student at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) in EPFL’s School of Engineering, played a key role in translating these natural movements into engineering reality.
“Birds were the inspiration for airplanes in the first place, and the Wright brothers made this dream come true, but even today’s planes are still quite far from what birds are capable of,” Shin explained.
“Birds can transition from walking to running to the air and back again, without the aid of a runway or launcher. Engineering platforms for these kinds of movements are still missing in robotics.”
RAVEN’s unique design uses lightweight but functional robotic legs with flexible feet and joints.
These innovations allow the drone to walk over uneven ground, hop across gaps in terrain, and jump up to heights of 26 centimeters before taking flight, all while maintaining stability and energy efficiency.
Addressing key challenges
Traditional drones have long been constrained by their reliance on runways or large open spaces for takeoff, limiting their use in cluttered or inaccessible environments.
RAVEN solves this problem with its ability to execute a vertical “jumping takeoff,” which combines kinetic speed and potential height for an efficient transition into flight.
“Translating avian legs and feet into a lightweight robotic system presented us with design, integration, and control problems that birds have solved elegantly over the course of evolution,” said Professor Dario Floreano, head of LIS.
“This led us to not only come up with the most multimodal winged drone to date but also to shed light on the energetic efficiency of jumping for takeoff in both birds and drones.”
These capabilities also make RAVEN ideal for navigating rugged terrain, confined urban spaces, or remote areas.
By eliminating the need for smooth surfaces or human intervention during launch, the drone can operate effectively in settings that have traditionally posed challenges to UAVs.

Applications and beneficiaries
RAVEN’s potential applications are incredibly diverse. Its innovative and multifunctional design offers opportunities to transform multiple industries.
Its capabilities make it a valuable asset across various fields, paving the way for new advancements and solutions.
Disaster relief: During emergencies, first responders often have to access difficult terrain, such as collapsed buildings or mountainous areas.
RAVEN’s ability to traverse landscapes and deliver essentials like medical supplies or communication equipment could save lives.
Delivery services: The rise of ecommerce and logistical demands in urban and rural areas has fueled interest in delivery using drones.
RAVEN’s capability to maneuver around tight spaces or difficult landscapes makes it a promising tool for “last-mile” deliveries.
Infrastructure inspection: Industries like construction and energy often require routine inspections in hazardous or remote locations.
RAVEN’s design allows it to explore hard-to-reach areas, reducing the risks to human inspectors while improving efficiency.
Scientific research and exploration: From tracking wildlife to surveying rough terrain for ecological studies, RAVEN could support researchers conducting fieldwork in environments inaccessible to humans or traditional drones.
Looking ahead
The team is refining RAVEN’s design, particularly its landing capabilities, to expand its usability further.
“Avian wings are the equivalent of front legs in terrestrial quadrupeds, but little is known about the coordination of legs and wings in birds—not to mention drones,” Floreano remarked.
These results represent a first step towards a better understanding of multi-modal flying animals’ design and control principles and their translation into agile and energetically efficient drones.
RAVEN highlights how biomimicry, or taking inspiration from nature, can lead to engineering breakthroughs with real-world impact.
Whether delivering medicine to remote areas or inspecting infrastructure after a disaster, this bird-inspired drone is primed to make a significant difference in robotics and beyond.

Sorry to inform you that Superstar Attorney David Rivkin just passed away. He was a great lawyer, scholar, and defender of mine. Our hearts and prayers are with his incredible wife, Diana, and family. He will be greatly missed!

Laura Loomer Sounds Alarm On Big Tech Oligarchs Influencing Policy
I'm just going with Trump is in control. I wonder if this what Trump was calling back Elon to discuss. I bet it was.
I know anons don't particularly like Loomer, but I've got the feeling Bannon is basing his argument on immigration which is the biggest issue Americans wants controlled. But I don't understand why Loomer's invited to the discussion. Seriously she could have addressed this in a non bi-polar way, without blowing up with rage.

Thousands of Store Closures on Tap for 2025
The economy appears to be plugging right along, but there are some foul currents running under the surface that should raise concern as we move into 2025.
Major retailers plan to close thousands of stores in the next year.
Analysts say “shifting spending patterns” and “rising costs” are driving the closures. Many major retailers are shutting down underperforming locations to cut costs and boost sales, and several companies have gone bankrupt.

Elon Musk says US needs many hypersonic missiles, long-range drones: 'Anything manned will die very fast'
December 27, 2024 7:32am EST
Business titan Elon Musk asserted that the U.S. needs a significant stockpile of hypersonic missiles and long-range air and sea drones.
"America needs a large quantity of long-range drones (air, surface water & submarine) and hypersonic missiles.
Anything manned will die very fast in a drone war," Musk declared Thursday in a post on X.
The comments complimented comments he made in a tweet last month: "Future wars are all about drones & hypersonic missiles.
Fighter jets piloted by humans will be destroyed very quickly," he opined.
Musk has specifically targeted F-35 fighter jet, calling it "a s— design."
"The F-35 design was broken at the requirements level, because it was required to be too many things to too many people.
This made it an expensive & complex jack of all trades, master of none. Success was never in the set of possible outcomes.
And manned fighter jets are obsolete in the age of drones anyway. Will just get pilots killed," he declared in a post in November.
In another post last month, he exclaimed, "Some US weapons systems are good, albeit overpriced, but please, in the name of all that is holy, let us stop the worst military value for money in history that is the F-35 program!"
President-elect Donald Trump tapped Musk, along with former presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, to spearhead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an unofficial effort to expose government waste and advocate for spending cuts.
Musk has been sounding the alarm about the nation's profligate spending.
"Terrifying [to be honest]," he wrote last month regarding America's massive national debt.
The national debt exceeds $36.1 trillion, according to fiscaldata.treasury.gov.
"We either fix this or go de facto bankrupt," Musk warned in a post on Thursday.

Bilderberg Group Taps Former NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg as New Chair of the ‘Steering Committee’
“Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg group has long drawn fascination for its clandestine meetings at exclusive hotels and alpine resorts where attendees hold discussions on international relations, economics and security.
Heads of the CIA and MI6 have been among its members, while Henry Kissinger was a regular alongside the likes of Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and then-Prince Charles.”
Stoltenberg arrives as Trump is set to enact his promises of no longer spend billions in US taxpayer money to fund other countries’ wars.
“Stoltenberg’s tenure at NATO was dominated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and he proudly claimed to have overseen ‘the largest reinforcement of our collective defense in a generation.’ Many of his Bilderberg colleagues have benefited from this increased defense spending. Among them is Trump insider Peter Thiel, boss of AI giant Palantir, whose technology has been used by Ukraine in the fight against Putin.”

Alexander Downer Exposes FBI's Deceit In Opening Russia Investigation
A few days ago, our friend Stephen McIntyre, one of the original Russiagate investigators, sent a tweet to revisit a question that many of us have pondered for years but which has never been fully resolved. As a result, we finally now have the answer. That is because, in response to McIntyre’s tweet, the key figure has come forward to confirm what many of us have suspected all along.
McIntyre's tweet highlighted that, according to the FBI, it was Australian diplomat Alexander Downer who initiated the inception of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, the narratives surrounding this event differ significantly between Downer's account in Special Counsel John Durham’s report and the FBI's version. Downer has now stepped forward to affirm Durham's version with a three-word tweet: “Durham is right”. This development carries substantial implications for the entire Russiagate saga, particularly regarding its fraudulent origins.
Downer’s confirmation represents a significant breakthrough in unraveling the final puzzle pieces of Russiagate, not necessarily because the information is new or surprising, but rather because it confirms that the FBI was aware from the outset that its justification for initiating the Trump-Russia investigation was phony.
The two competing versions of the Crossfire Hurricane origin story can be summarized as follows: According to the FBI, Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos met with Australia’s ambassador in London, Alexander Downer, and Downer’s assistant, Erika Thompson. During this meeting, Papadopoulos is supposed to have “suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion” that Russia might assist the Trump campaign by anonymously releasing damaging information about Hillary Clinton prior to the 2016 election.
Robert Mueller went one step further, claiming that what Papadopoulos had talked about was “that the Russian government had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.”
Downer’s account, as detailed in the Durham report, states, “Papadopoulos made no mention of Clinton emails, dirt or any specific approach by the Russian government to the Trump campaign team with an offer or suggestion of providing assistance. Rather, Downer's recollection was that Papadopoulos simply stated "the Russians have information" and that was all.”
Notably, the day before Papadopoulos met with Downer and Thompson, Andrew Napolitano shared a nearly identical account on Fox News, raising the distinct possibility that Papadopoulos was simply reiterating what he had heard on TV, as opposed to any secret plot. In fact, we would argue that this is almost certainly what occurred: Papadopoulos enthusiastically repeated a story he had encountered on Fox News.
So, how did everything get blown out of proportion? This is where Downer’s confirmation of Durham’s account comes into play and why it is so important.

Our Lying Eyes: New Photo Shows Biden With Hunter's Business Associates Despite Past Denials
“Lies.” That response was a mantra for President Joe Biden, who denied ever meeting or knowing about his son’s foreign dealings. Despite the pronounced lack of interest by most media outlets in the alleged multimillion dollar influence-peddling scheme, the House and conservative groups have doggedly pursued the matter and found overwhelming evidence that the President has repeatedly lied about his interactions with foreign clients. Now, a new photo further contradicts the President, who recently pardoned his son for any crimes committed over a ten-year period.
America First Legal has been engaged in a prolonged legal fight with the National Archives to get access to the undisclosed evidence. It recently won critical rulings forcing the release. The discovery includes this photo of then-vice president Joe Biden meeting with Hunter and his clients. It adds to an already ample photographic and testimonial record contradicting the President’s past denials.
The House has released records showing $27 million in payments from foreign sources to Hunter Biden and his business partners from 2014 to 2019. Hunter used official trips with his father to facilitate some of these associations.
Despite denying meeting with these clients or knowing anything about his son’s dealings, it was later revealed that Biden was repeatedly put on a speakerphone with clients, attended dinners, and took pictures with them, including BHR Partners CEO Jonathan Li. A key witness said that he sat down with Joe Biden specifically to discuss these foreign deals with this son.
Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s son and daughter.
In the summer of 2019, Li wired Hunter Biden $250,000 that originated in Beijing and had Joe Biden’s Delaware home as the beneficiary address.
There were diamonds as gifts, lavish expense accounts, and a sports car, in addition to massive payments that Hunter claimed were “loans.” There are messages like the one to a Chinese businessman openly threatening the displeasure of Joe Biden if money is not sent to them immediately. In the WhatsApp message, Hunter stated:
“I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the Chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

The Firestorm Of The MAGA Agenda
Vivek totally blew up his American culture facade. Why would these supposedly brilliant tech geniuses do this? It's causing a big problem for Trump before his inauguration! Having a seat at the table, does not mean they can demean America and Americans. Something is very wrong with this, what are these guys up to?
Might as well get it out now. Trump's whole message is the good for America and Americans, and the tech bros are announcing foreigners are more important than us, Vivek's comments were stupid. This will not end well for them. Trump is probably really pissed at this point. The black guy on this CNN boils it down, why not increase American students to have the ability at better education to get us up to getting to these jobs. I think every woe in America is due to the destruction by leftists of our education system, not training on skills but identity politics.PS: why is DiBlasio even on that panel, he's a retarded marxist
This stupid thing is gonna drive up CNNs ratings, damn it!

CA Gov. Newsom to Use Taxpayer Funds to Protect Migrants from Deportation While California Has a $68 BILLION Deficit
An internal memo being circulated within Newsom’s administration calls for the “creation of an Immigrant Support Network comprised of regional ‘hubs’ to connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems — such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc.”
Ron Vitiello, the former acting ICE Director, said that Newsom aims to use taxpayer money to fight the deportation of illegal aliens against the will of the people who want deportation and safe streets. California has a $68 BILLION deficit!

Dollar share of global currency reserves at 29-year low — IMF
Countries have stepped up efforts to move away from the greenback, data shows
The share of the US dollar in global foreign exchange reserves has dropped to its lowest in nearly 30 years, according to the latest data published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The statistics tracked by the Washington-based institution show that the greenback’s share in official reserves dropped by 0.85% between July and September this year, and now stands at 57.4% – its lowest level since 1995. The IMF does not provide statistics for earlier years.
The IMF flagged the trend in June, when it noted in an official blog that the dollar’s decline was occurring amid diversification efforts by countries around the world. For instance, while data shows that the greenback’s share has been steadily dropping for the past three quarters, the share of “nontraditional” currencies has been gaining ground.
The greenback has also been ceding ground to the euro. In the third quarter, its share jumped to 20.02% compared to 19.75% in the second quarter. Global investmentsin the Japanese yen have surged for the past six quarters, with its share in Q3 amounting to 5.82%.
Data also showed a halt in the decline in the Chinese yuan’s share in global forex holdings, which lasted for nine quarters. In Q3, the yuan’s share rose to 2.17%.
Despite the downward trend, the dollar so far remains the preeminent reserve currency, IMF statistics show, with the euro firmly in second place.
The greenback’s long-standing status as the world’s dominant currency has been jeopardized in recent years amid concerns over soaring US debt and sanctions Washington has been placing on its rivals, including Russia.
As part of anti-Russia sanctions that followed the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, the US cut off the country’s central bank from dollar transactions. It later banned the export of dollar banknotes to the country and spearheaded the drive to freeze Russian assets abroad. Foreign Affairs magazine wrote in June that the sanctions on Russia had “undoubtedly left other central banks wondering whether their own dollar-denominated rainy-day funds would be locked up should their governments run afoul of Washington.”

Meanwhile, sanctions have forced Russia to de-dollarize. According to September data, Moscow and its partners in the BRICS economic bloc are now using national currencies in 65% of mutual trade settlements. In a speech at the BRICS summit in Kazan in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Washington’s weaponization of the dollar through sanctions and denying countries access to the Western financial system was a “big mistake” that will force them “to look for other alternatives, which is what is happening.”

Conflicted Airspace: Friendly Fire And Hostile Drones Cause Chaos
Dec 27, 2024,08:22am EST
Three very different stories from the last week highlighted the same issue : in the Red Sea, rescuers recovered aircrew from a downed U.S.
Navy F/A-18; a passenger airliner crashes in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people; officials warn of a threat to civil aviation in New Jersey.
The common thread linking these disparate stories is the problem of distinguishing friendly aircraft from hostile drones and the danger of bringing down your own aircraft by mistake.
The challenge, known as ‘deconfliction’ and previously getting little consideration, is starting to have significant real-world impact.
Accidents In The Red Sea
In the most straightforward incident, U.S. Central Command describes the shootdown of the F/A-18 as an ‘apparent case of friendly fire.’
The aircraft, which had just taken off from the carrier USS Harry Truman, was shot down by the guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, one of Truman’s escorts
Shortly before this incident the same group of ships had been under attack by Houthi drones and at least one cruise missile, which they had shot down.
Strict protocols requiring target confirmation usually prevent this type of incident from happening, but it is not a one-off event.
Further reports that a second F/A-18 was targeted, and was forced to take evasive action when Gettysburg fired an SM-2 missile at it.
The sharp maneuver meant the supersonic 1500-pound missile missed by around 100 feet (30 meters), narrowly avoiding disaster.
Flight operations from the Harry Truman were reportedly suspended while the cause of the incidents was investigated.
Distinguishing a manned jet with twin jet engines from a small drone might seem simple, but these incident show how easily mistakes can happen.
While thankfully no lives were lost here, the destruction of a $60m aircraft, and, perhaps more seriously, the forced suspension of flight operations from a carrier group, show that repeated attacks by small, cheap drones have serious unexpected consequences.
Even if the drones are downed they may still succeed to disrupting their target.
Meanwhile an investigation in under way on the loss off the Azeri flight JS-8432.
According to Azeri officials quoted by Reuters, the Embraer jet was hit by a Russian Pantsir (“Panther”) S-1 air defence system over Grozny before it crashed.
Kremlin officials say they cannot comment before a full investigation is carried out.
Friendly fire has been a known and chronic problem for Russian aviation. Earlier this month Russian defenders shot down one of their own Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopters.
In October one Su-25 attack aircraft shot down another, while earlier in the year a Russian missile crew in Crimea downed one of their own Su-27 jets. These are far from the only cases.
The defenders are most likely mistaking the aircraft for Ukrainian one-way attack drones, which have been scoring a series of successes against Russian air bases, refineries and other targets.
Videos show the drones cruising serenely over targets and crashing into them while gunfire crackles all around, indicating that Russia’s many long-range, radar-guided missile systems have failed to touch them.
The pressure is on for Russian air defence to bring down more drones — but launching more missiles will result in more friendly fire incidents unless the underlying problems can be resolved.

>>278225
This morning Russia closed five airports for ‘operational safety reasons’ during a Ukrainian drone attack. One of the five was Grozny, where JS-8432 was reportedly targeted. The action is intended to prevent a repetition of this incident.
While there is no suggestion yet that Ukrainian drones are mimicking airliners, some Russian drones are fitted with radar reflectors to make them look like larger aircraft and cause confusion.
The transponders and other methods used to identify airliners could be copied by nefarious actors to help drones slip through.
The drone which killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last January reportedly evaded the defenses by following the same flight path as a U.S. aircraft minutes earlier.
When airspace is shared between friendly and hostile aircraft, deconfliction becomes harder and the chaos favors the attackers.
Confusion In New Jersey
The situation in New Jersey is more complex. Initial reports of large numbers of unknown drones in the area have been blurred by an avalanche of competing claims that these are in fact sightings of legitimate commercial drones, or of satellites, or of civil airliners.
Others suggest the drones are operated by mysterious government agencies, or even that aliens are flying them. The sightings have caused concern all the way up to the White House and assurances that there is nothing to worry about have cut little ice.
President-elect Trump suggested on Truth Social that if the government cannot positively confirm the identity of the drones they need to “Shoot them down!!!”
Others, including local politicians, have expressed frustration about the lack of action, and that what may be reconnaissance drones from hostile powers are being allowed to fly freely over New Jersey airspace.
The ‘mystery drone’ issue goes back some time. In 2020 we reported on the repeated incursions by large numbers of drones over U.S. nuclear power plants, and similar drone sightings have been made over U.S. navy exercises and airbases.
The scale of operations, and the size and capability of some of the drones involved, strongly suggest that this is not simply a matter of hobbyists seeing what they can get away with.
‘Shoot them down’ may look like an appealing option. But the challenge of identification and the risk of friendly fire, as seen in the Red Sea and Grozny, show that it comes with significant risks.
And the problem is only going to get worse. Ukraine is ramping up production, with plans to launch some 30,000 long-range attack drones in the coming year.
Others are likely to copy their success. Unlike other military hardware like hypersonic missiles, such drones can be built by small teams in little more than garage workshops, and can have a reach of thousands of miles.
The solution, comprehensive radar coverage and advanced air traffic control systems to detect, track, identify and tag everything in the sky, may seem simple enough.
But as events in New Jersey show, drones are elusive and can keep slipping through the net. And as Flight JS-8432 shows, any mistakes in attempt to bring them down are likely to cost lives.

Younger Brother of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Dies at 60
The younger brother of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has died, Downing Street said in a statement Friday. Nick Starmer, who was 60, had cancer and died Thursday.
The prime minister, who is 62, paid tribute to his brother, describing him as a “wonderful man.”
“He met all the challenges life threw at him with courage and good humor,” he said. “We will miss him very much.”
Starmer also took the opportunity to thank all those who treated his brother.
“Their skill and compassion is very much appreciated,” he said.
The prime minister was due to go on holiday on Friday, but is now expected to stay at home.
The Starmer brothers grew up in a family of four siblings in Surrey, southeast of London. Nick Starmer had learning difficulties as a result of complications at birth.
In a recent biography by Tom Baldwin, the prime minister spoke candidly about his brother.
“We were a family of six, so it didn’t feel lonely and I shared a room with him, but Nick didn’t have many friends and got called ‘thick’ or ‘stupid’ by other kids,” Starmer said.
“Even now I try to avoid using words like that to describe anyone.”

Indian Anadrone Shikra drone caught by Sri Lanka fisherman
December 27, 2024 8:18 am
A jet powered target drone, bearing the marking of the Indian manufacturer Anadrone has been found by a fisherman off Sri Lanka’s Eastern coast, a media report said.
The drone was found floating 36 kilometres off Trincomalee in the island’s Eastern waters, the fisherman told Sri Lanka’s Hiru news.
“We found it in the sea near some fish were swimming,” he said. “After we finished fishing, I took the object on board and brought it ashore.
Then I informed the police and they said they will inform the Navy.
The words, Shikra, target can also be seen on wings of the drone, as well as Anadrone on the tail fin.
Similar drones are produced by Anadrone Systems Pvt Ltd, an unmanned vehicle manufacturer, according to its website.
“Anadrone Systems Pvt Ltd is a forward-thinking defense company headquartered in India, specializing in the design, development, and deployment of advanced unmanned aerial systems and defense technologies,” its website says.
The firm won an order for 100 units of it Shikra high-speed target system from the Indian Navy, the news portal Iadnews.in says.
The drone found in Sri Lanka has the marking 0032.
Sri Lanka Air Force was quoted as saying that the island had previously also found a target drone and investigations were being conducted on the latest one.

Joe Rogan convinced Trump knows ‘something’ about UFOs - but won’t say what
Friday 27 December 2024 15:51 GMT
Podcast host Joe Rogan said he believes that current and past presidents, such as President-elect Donald Trump, know “something” about extraterrestrial life but won’t reveal what it it.
Rogan told filmmaker James Fox, whose documentaries often focus on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), that he caught that feeling after asking Trump about it.
“When I confronted Mr. Trump, he was very cagey,” Rogan said on Tuesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. “Very cagey.”
Rogan said the president-elect hinted that he has seen and heard things related to UAPs or aliens but would not reveal what they were.
Last month, during an interview, Trump told Rogan there “may be” life on other planets, despite scientific evidence saying otherwise sos far.
“He basically neither confirmed or denied,” Rogan said. “I think he knows something. I don’t think he’s that interested ... He’s sort of a no-nonsense type of guy.”
Fox, a frequent guest of Rogan’s, has produced several documentaries on UAPs.
During his interview with Rogan, he urged President Joe Biden to release information related to mysteroious aerial phenonmena before he leaves office.
He believes there is more evidence of UAPs that officials have not made public.
Two years ago, members of Congress held hearings about the possibility of life on other planets and UAPs after a whistleblower came forward with claims that the government was covering up evidence.
The conversation between Rogan and Fox arises as people across the nation express frustration over unexplained drones that have begun flying over neighborhoods in the evening.
Lawmakers and officials have assured the public the drones are non-threatening, but they have not offered an explanation about their origins or intent.
Fox said he’s hopeful that officials will share more about UAPs because of the drone sightings, calling it a “matter of national security.” “There’s something really weird going on,” Fox said.
Current officials may not know about the drones or, at the very least, do not want to share that information publicly.
The incoming administration, however, may take a more hands-on approach to solving the mystery of the drones.
Earlier this month, Trump has said that he believes the government knows more about the drones than it is publicly sharing.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said if Trump were president now, he would make sure his administration solved the mystery of the drones rather than issue vague statements like the Biden administration.

Houston Methodist Hospital Faces Fifth Circuit Appeal Over Investigational Drug Mandate
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/houston-methodist-hospital-faces-fifth-circuit-appeal-investigational/
More than 100 healthcare professionals have taken their fight against Houston Methodist Hospital to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, challenging the hospital’s 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate.
The lawsuit filed in Galveston federal court in 2023 alleges that Houston Methodist and CEO Marc Boom violated federal agreements by requiring employees to inject federally owned investigational drugs under threat of penalty.
The case has drawn the attention of medical ethics experts, including consultant Brian Ward. Ward spoke to The Gateway Pundit, saying that “the drugs under Houston Methodist’s mandate were wholly owned by the federal government and classified by the FDA as investigational new drugs.” For example, Ward noted that “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is under Investigational New Drug (IND) application 19736 to this day and is only administered under laws regulating investigational drug treatments.”
Ward argued that Houston Methodist’s actions violated fundamental principles governing investigational medical treatments. He was adamant that “Houston Methodist could not even take possession of the drugs unless it explicitly promised the federal government that it only offers them under voluntary conditions.”
The case’s origins trace back to deeper historical roots in medical research oversight. In 1973, following Senate hearings led by Edward Kennedy that exposed the federal government’s medical research abuses, Congress passed the 1974 National Research Act.
According to Ward, this legislation led to the creation of “the Common Rule,” a set of federal regulations designed to protect individuals, such as the Plaintiffs in the case before the Fifth Circuit, from coming under threat of penalty to participate in “federally funded or authorized investigational drugs involuntarily.” This protection is guaranteed by the U.S. Congress, which requires Houston Methodist to “obtain Plaintiffs legally effective informed consent.”
“Legally effective informed consent” requires far more than “mere consent,” said Ward, explaining that consent must be obtained in advance of the product’s administration and that an offer to participate must be presented under a legally approved environment where the potential recipient is not under outside pressure to participate in its administration.

Should UFOs Abduct More People Of Color?
December 27, 2024 10:00 AM ET
Following the spate of mysterious drone sightings above New Jersey and other areas of the United States, Edgar, the Daily Caller’s intrepid blue puppet reporter, hit the streets of Washington, D.C., to ask locals about UFOs and diversity.
“Most of the people who get abducted by aliens are white yokels from the countryside. That’s not fair. Would you like to see more ‘Abductees of Color,’ or ‘AOCs?'” Edgar asked on befuddled local.
“We don’t want diversity with that,” one woman of color replied. Wait, I thought diversity was our greatest strength?!
Another white woman pleaded, “I didn’t ask for the alien probe!” while conceding that more representation would certainly be fair.
Edgar also beseeched a young black man to avail: “You could take one for Team Earth, couldn’t you?”
“Should we upload more brothers to the mothership?” he asked one black woman, who burst out with laughter: “Maybe,” she replied.
It’s a good sign for the country that New Jerseyans of all colors seemed to be able to take a joke about race.
Has Edgar single handedly saved race relations in America? But he didn’t stop there, diving deeper into the alien conspiracy at hand.
“Which public figure do you think is an alien?” he asked one Jersey resident.
The runaway favorite for America’s secret alien was Vice President-elect, JD Vance. “Is it his almost inhumanly luscious eyelashes?”
Edgar followed up. There’s an advanced alien civilization exploding in that beard.
Edgar pressed further: “Why are the alien overlords circling New Jersey?”
“New Jersey is the armpit of America. Anyone would circle it.” was one response. Shots fired!

Scientists Say They Know How to Find Dyson Rings—and Supercharge the Search for Aliens
Dec 27, 2024 9:00 AM EST
- Sometimes, light curves of stars and pulsars have wonky, flickering properties, and some scientists wonder if these light curves could be caused by artificial megastructures built by advanced civilizations.
- While previous studies have analyzed this possibility by focusing on the infrared spectrum, a new study expands the possible search by introducing new methods for detecting a Dyson ring—an energy-gathering satellite array—around a distant pulsar.
- Natural explanations of these phenomena (primarily clouds of dust) still exist, but this research suggests that there is a non-zero chance that these structures could be out there.
Astronomers can learn a lot about a distant stellar system by observing its host star. For instance, the type of star (or even number of stars) can help determine probability of life in that particular system.
But telescopes also divine the planetary details of these systems by looking at a star’s light curve. When analyzing light coming from a star, any dip in that curve suggests that an object (often a planet) is in transit around the giant ball of gas.
Thousands of exoplanets throughout the galaxy have been found using this method, which is aptly called the transit method.
However, the characteristics of a star’s light curve could have even more profound implications—for example, a dip could be caused by megastructures constructed by an ultra-advanced alien civilization.
The most well-known of these theoretical megastructures is the Dyson sphere. First proposed by Freeman Dyson in the 1960s, this sphere essentially encases a star in a cocoon of energy-gathering technology, providing all the voracious energy needs of a Type-II civilization.
Because such a structure would likely have a radius of around one astronomical unit (the distance from the Earth to our Sun), scientists estimate that there wouldn’t be enough material in one entire stellar system to construct such an object.
However, Dyson rings—a kind of vast array of energy-gathering satellites—could be theoretically feasible.
Now, a new study led by Ogetay Kayali at the Michigan Technological University details how astronomers can expand the search for these Dyson ring-induced dips in light curves by identifying previously unknown features of the light signatures of stars.
As fantastical as this may sound, it’s not a new idea. For years, the strange flickering characteristics of KIC 8462852—also known as Tabby’s star—led some experts to consider an artificial explanation.
But, in 2019, scientists largely came to the consensus that this behavior was caused by clouds of dust and/or comet fragments.
Earlier this year, scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden theorized that a Dyson structure would emit waste heat in the mid-infrared spectrum.
Several dozen stars matched this mid-infrared signature, but critics said that such signals could also come from natural causes, such as two planets colliding and producing a tremendous amount of material.
While rare, it does happen—just ask Earth.
Kayali and his team acknowledge these past infrared studies, and suggest that other techniques could be used instead to detect distant Dyson rings around pulsars.
“Previous studies covered the detection of a ring structure uniformly brightened by the central pulsar, mostly in infrared light,” the authors wrote.
They do, however, note that a pulsar beam’s superluminal speeds could be hiding Dyson structures from detection.
“These speeds may cause multiple images of the pulsar’s spot on the Dyson ring to appear simultaneously to a distant observer, and so feature bright creation and annihilation events.
Therefore, it is possible that even if Dyson ring structures had been observed previously, they might have remained unnoticed.”
When exploring something as vast and unknowing as deep space, many explanations can exist for strange behaviors detected by our ultra-sensitive telescopes.
But Kayali makes a solid argument that Dyson rings should be on the checklist of possibilities—maybe toward the bottom of the list, but on the list nonetheless.

Federal civil rights complaint filed against Rochester, Minnesota schools’ race-based teacher programs.
"Minnesota nice", unless you're white...
Rochester Public Schools is facing some tough questions after a federal civil rights complaint accused the district of excluding teachers from opportunities based on race.
Parents Defending Education (PDE), a national advocacy group, filed the complaint last week, claiming the district’s teacher programs violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
“PDE and its members oppose discrimination on the basis of race and political indoctrination in America’s schools. Rochester Public Schools has affinity group programming for some teachers, that is not open to all. The District allows only some teachers to participate in affinity group programming, mentoring, and scholarship opportunities and their participation is based on their race,” the complaint says.
The controversy centers on the district’s “Employees of Color Resource Group” and its “Grow Your Own” program. Both initiatives are designed to support and retain teachers of color, offering benefits like mentorship, scholarships, and career development.
Rochester Public Schools describes its “Grow Your Own” program as an “adult pathway program” reserved for “teachers/individuals of color.”
PDE argues that these programs, partially funded by $136,400 in grants, illegally exclude non-minority educators.

Turns out the H-1B ‘lotto system’ is totally and completely rigged…
December 27, 2024 (an hour ago).1/3.This makes me sick to read this, because I know why Congress never fixed it
The H-1B “war” of 2024 is destined to go down in social media history. It’s equal parts productive and chaotic, with pro-foreign worker advocates like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy squaring off against America First MAGA forces. Ultimately, this debate is a healthy exercise for the America First movement, airing its internal conflicts—especially before Trump’s anticipated return to the White House.
That said, we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Vivek and Elon don’t need to be thrown to the wolves over this issue. Sure, they could use a crash course in America First principles, but they also deserve the opportunity to get creative and course-correct. A good starting point? Taking a hard look at the system they support and acknowledging just how disastrous it really is.
Honestly, we’re dealing with a system so broken it’s beyond repair—especially the so-called “lotto” system at the heart of the entire H-1B scheme. Calling it “rigged” would actually be a compliment.
Yes, it’s really that bad.
Eric Fan:
Every year, a lottery determines who gets an H-1B visa to work in the US. The game, it turns out, is rigged.
Outsourcing and staffing firms are exploiting loopholes, crowding out US employers and immigrants who play it fair.
We have exclusive data to show it for the 1st time.
Congress created H-1B in 1990 to help American businesses get the world’s top talent. Instead, outsourcing and staffing firms flooded the system.
They bring in lower-level workers and pay lower wages. They game the lottery to gain unfair advantages.
Say you’re a regular American business that wants to hire a foreign graduate from a top US university. You would lose the candidate to lottery most (70%) of the time. That’s what happened to Sandeep Maganti, a talented engineer from India who founded his own startup.
An outsourcing firm, however, can draw from its vast workforce in India and put in 3X number of tickets. It doesn’t care who gets selected as long as somebody gets selected. @USCIS rules require a “legitimate job offer” for each lottery entry, but don’t require any proof.
We then identified 3000+ IT staffing firms, often called Body Shops or Desi Consultancies. Many cheated on a massive scale to submit multiple entries for the same candidates. The government called it fraud. Yet there’s little consequence. Many kept winning new visas this year.
One group of staffing firms entered each candidate as many as 15 times. The government flagged them in a damning report last year but didn’t name the companies. We matched details in their data to reveal the owner behind them. @USCIS says it cannot sanction companies.
This April, @USCIS changed lottery rules to remove the incentives for multi-reg. But that’s only part of the problem. Staffing firms continue to flood the lottery with dubious entries. Even among their single-reg candidates, staffers fail to file a petition half of the time.
Clearly, this entire program is nothing more than a massive scam—a blatant slap in the face to the American people. You can read the full story here.

But the fraud doesn’t stop there, folks. It’s likely far worse than most people realize, with much of it centering around something called “visa bodyshops.”
Ashley St. Clair:
A big shot employment attorney in California called me last night re: H1B visa fraud / trafficking of workers. Here’s what she said:
The market is cornered by visa body shops who apply for ~50% of the visas.
The economics of it: These body shops are headed by former hiring managers from Big Tech companies. They bring people to America, rent apartments for them, and house about 10 together in one apartment.
They put these recipients through a ~4 week bootcamp of basic tech training, fraudulently rewrite their resumes, teach them how to interview.
The body shops land them jobs, primarily at the companies these hiring managers came from, and pay the workers less than half of the money in hand.
Ex. Job is listed as a $200k salary, but the company is contracted with the body shop *not* the H1B worker, and the worker is actually paid closer to $40 an hour.
The body shops pocket most of the money and are making millions by essentially trafficking people.
The abuse and fraud must end!
We’ve been covering the dangerous DEI agenda, which lies at the heart of the H-1B “war,” for what feels like eons. One article we wrote nearly two years ago remains just as relevant today.
For decades, local planners, technicians, and civil engineers were often unsung heroes of American life. Even as American family life frayed, industry moved abroad, and crime soared, they built and maintained the amenities that are synonymous with the First World.
But the heroic age of Americans who actually built infrastructure is long past. The Silver Age of those who could at least maintain it is disappearing as well, like the Elves departing Middle-Earth. The average American utility worker is nearly fifty years old. In the next ten years, as many as fifty percent of these workers will retire. There are plenty of critiques to be made of elderly workers—we published one just the other day—but if there is any industry where experience is truly invaluable, it is in maintaining and managing the enormously complex systems that America’s cities and states use to generate power, supply water, move people, and generally keep everything functioning. These workers started their careers in a very different America: one with a higher-quality working class, which felt far less shame about hiring based on knowledge and ability, even if it produced a workforce that was “too white” or “too male” or too anything. Now, they are passing the baton to a population with different skills and very different values. Is anybody confident we’ll be able to manage the handoff?
Early signs aren’t promising. When Colonial Pipeline suffered a major outage due to a cyberattack, the company’s CEO had to admit that the company was essentially incapable of operating its pipelines manually, not because it was impossible but because everyone with the knowledge to do so was retired or dead.

Judge explodes at Jay-Z in child rape case and rules against rapper after 'relentless' courtroom plot
Jay-Z faced a scathing rebuke for 'wasting court resources' in his fight against a woman who accused him of raping her when she was 13.
The music mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has made several attempts through his lawyer Alex Spiro to quash the case or force the woman to be publicly identified.
But on Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres sided with his accuser, granting the woman anonymity for the next stage of proceedings and slamming Spiro in the process.
The woman, referred to as Jane Doe, alleges Carter, along with disgraced rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, drugged and raped her when she was 13 at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City.
Carter has vehemently denied the claims, calling them baseless.
In a five-page filing released on Thursday, Judge Torres condemned Spiro's aggressive legal maneuvers, describing them as 'combative' and filled with 'inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks.'
She accused Carter's attorney of attempting to 'fast-track the judicial process' by repeatedly filing motions to reveal the identity of Jane Doe and dismiss the case.
'Carter's lawyer's relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,' Torres stated firmly.

Right before our eyes, America is losing that ability to sustain the complex systems that are the markers of modern civilization. Even more appalling, this transformation is a choice.
Remember that trillion-dollar infrastructure bill Biden passed? Did you know that construction companies that want access to any of that gigantic pile of federal dollars need to implement major affirmative action policies to favor people based on race and sex? And did you know that if a company is getting a government contract on even one project, they need to practice affirmative action on everything? Law firm Jackson Lewis explains:
For women, the participation goal is 6.9%, meaning we are going to strive to make 6.9% of the total hours worked on each and every project, be performed by women. For minorities, we have a different goal, percentage goal, it may be 7%, even up to 23% or more, and that’s based on each individual geographic region in which you’re performing the project.
For our individuals with disabilities, it is a utilization goal under that Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, we’re trying to hit 7% of our workforce in each trade, identify as having a disability. And that number isn’t pulled out of thin air. It really is an estimate of the population of the United States that identifies as having a disability.
Is it any surprise that while the East Palestine train derailment mess was unfolding, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was off giving a speech about the need to make construction work less white?
This is a must-read piece that dives deep, peeling back the layers to reveal how the DEI agenda and the H-1B “war” are deeply intertwined. Check out the full article below:
As we mentioned earlier, one silver lining of the H-1B “war” is that it’s forcing a long-overdue conversation about an issue that has been swept under the rug and misrepresented for far too long. The fraud and scandal surrounding this system are staggering, exposing just how deep and twisted the problem truly is—complete with hidden “bodies” that need to be unearthed and brought into the light.
The abuse and corruption within this system are staggering, and it’s clear that Trump’s next administration will face an uphill battle to clean it up.If Elon and Vivek truly want to be allies in this fight, they’ll need to fully commit to every aspect of America First—not just the parts that are convenient or popular.

Extraterrestrial technology revealed by oxygen levels on exoplanet
12-27-2024
Scientists have long looked to oxygen when searching for signs of life beyond Earth.
This gas sustains breathing and enables animals and plants to flourish. Now, researchers suggest that oxygen might also point to advanced technology.
If an exoplanet’s atmosphere holds enough oxygen, it may not only support organisms but also help them spark fire, build structures, and craft machinery.
A study in Nature Astronomy presents this view, highlighting oxygen’s value as more than just a sign of biology.
Oxygen, civilization, and technology
Leading this research are Adam Frank, the Helen F. and Fred H. Gowen Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester, and Amedeo Balbi, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy.
Together with their team, they set out to explore whether oxygen is a key factor in allowing extraterrestrial civilizations to emerge and thrive through the development of technology.
“We are ready to find signatures of life on alien worlds,” Frank says. “But how do the [oxygen] conditions on a planet tell us about the possibilities for intelligent, technology-producing life?”
This question drives efforts to examine oxygen’s role beyond respiration and metabolism, especially in relation to large-scale industrial activities.
Why oxygen matters for civilizations
Photosynthesis on Earth accounts for the bulk of our oxygen on our planet, thanks to countless organisms that use sunlight to make food.
Because this process produces so much oxygen, it has been considered a biosignature. A planet with significant oxygen levels hints that life may be present, but Frank and Balbi argue that oxygen also has a second function.
“In our paper, we explore whether any atmospheric composition would be compatible with the presence of advanced technology,” Balbi says. “We found that the atmospheric requirements may be quite stringent.”
The link to technology comes from open-air combustion. Smelting metals, cooking food, and powering engines all rely on oxygen.
Any alien civilization that forges metals would need a certain percentage of oxygen in its air to keep fires burning reliably. That percentage, according to Earth’s history, appears to be around 18 percent.
Fire and the 18% threshold
“You might be able to get biology — you might even be able to get intelligent creatures — in a world that doesn’t have oxygen,” Frank says, “but without a ready source of fire, you’re never going to develop higher technology because higher technology requires fuel and melting.”
He calls attention to fire’s role in shaping tools, infrastructure, and energy production. Metalworking, for instance, depends on sustaining flames hot enough to melt ore and craft refined structures.
Frank and Balbi refer to this requirement as an “oxygen bottleneck.” A planet might host life forms of various kinds, yet remain stuck without the combustion needed to fuel industrial breakthroughs.
“The presence of high degrees of oxygen in the atmosphere is like a bottleneck you have to get through in order to have a technological species,” Frank says.
“You can have everything else work out, but if you don’t have oxygen in the atmosphere, you’re not going to have a technological species.”
Oxygen + technology create “technosignatures”
Frank thinks that exoplanets with oxygen levels at or above 18 percent should be at the top of our search list.
“Targeting planets with high oxygen levels should be prioritized because the presence or absence of high oxygen levels in exoplanet atmospheres could be a major clue in finding potential technosignatures,” Frank says.
Planets that exceed this level may have the capacity for factories, infrastructure, or communication networks.

Balbi notes that interpreting any possible signal of intelligent life will be challenging.
“The implications of discovering intelligent, technological life on another planet would be huge,” adds Balbi. “Therefore, we need to be extremely cautious in interpreting possible detections.
Their study suggests that astronomers should be skeptical of potential technosignatures from a planet with insufficient atmospheric oxygen.
Technosphere vs. biotechnosphere
Frank and Balbi’s perspective also covers the idea of a technosphere, which is the collective output of an advanced civilization.
Factories, vehicles, and power grids all fit under this label. They rely on resources provided by the planet’s biosphere but stretch beyond purely natural processes.
Burning fuels in open air has been central to every major industrial leap, from forging steel to generating electricity.
When these technologies reach a global scale, they form a biotechnosphere. This term applies to the interplay of living systems and technology — essentially, how organisms and machines coexist.
On Earth, that includes everything from smartphones to farms, all running side by side. A well-established biotechnosphere might produce clear signals in the atmosphere: waste gases, unusual heat patterns, or chemicals not normally found in nature.
Balancing machines and ecosystems
History shows that as technology expands, it can sometimes damage or alter environments. Factories might pump pollutants into the air, while deforestation removes habitats that produce oxygen.
Yet there is an ongoing move toward cleaner energy and more efficient resource use. If any alien civilization follows a similar path, we might detect certain byproducts in the form of greenhouse gases or engineered molecules.
Though the focus is on oxygen, other factors matter too, such as temperature and access to metals or fuels. A planet may need stable conditions for life to progress to a point where industry becomes possible.
That said, Frank and Balbi’s findings highlight how oxygen stands out among these factors, because it directly enables combustion processes.
Fire and progress in Earth’s past
Earth’s own development through advances in technology offers insight into how vital oxygen has been for technical achievements.
Once our atmosphere had enough of it, humans learned to manipulate fire for cooking and for making stronger materials.
From simple smithing to modern manufacturing, every stage of growth involved open-air combustion.
“You can have everything else work out, but if you don’t have oxygen in the atmosphere, you’re not going to have a technological species,” Frank says.
This idea underlines how a single factor — oxygen — can open or close the door to industrial progress, altering a planet’s entire future path.
Oxygen, technology, and next steps
Observatories now in the works may soon gather data about exoplanet atmospheres in detail. Detecting a high oxygen content could mark a world that supports advanced living organisms.
The next task is to look for proof of industry or technology, sometimes called technosignatures. These might appear as chemical emissions, radio signals, or specific spectral lines.
If these two checks– oxygen above 18 percent and evidence of artificial activity — both yield results, we will have a strong indication that we share the universe with another technological civilization.
That reality could reshape how we see ourselves and our place among the stars.
Why does any of this matter?
Understanding the significance of atmospheric oxygen can also inspire reflection on our home planet. Human industries rely heavily on combustion, from running cars to powering factories. This has changed Earth’s ecosystems.
As we learn more about how oxygen in an atmosphere enables or limits technology, we might gain new ideas on how to manage our own balance between growth and environmental health.

US homelessness rose by record 18% in latest annual data.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - There was a record 18% rise in homelessness in the U.S. in the last year, driven by factors like unaffordable housing, high inflation, systemic racism, natural disasters and rising immigration, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said on Friday.
"Our worsening national affordable housing crisis, rising inflation, stagnating wages among middle- and lower-income households, and the persisting effects of systemic racism have stretched homelessness services systems to their limits," the Department of Housing and Urban Development said.
It also noted "additional public health crises, natural disasters that displaced people from their homes, rising numbers of people immigrating to the U.S., and the end to homelessness prevention programs put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Mexico tests cellphone app allowing migrants to send alert if they are about to be detained in US.
Mexico is developing a cellphone app that will allow migrants to warn relatives and local consulates if they think they are about to be detained by the U.S. immigration department, a senior official said Friday.
The move is in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threats to carry out mass deportations after he takes office on Jan. 20.

West ‘must’ send Ukraine more – Zelensky
The US has pledged to “surge” billions more in military aid to Kiev in the coming weeks
The West (he means the US) “must” send Kiev more weapons and faster in order to help the war effort against Russia, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has said
Since the conflict with Russia escalated in 2022, Ukraine has received over $200 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian aid from the US and its allies. Kiev is now completely dependent on the West for military logistics, according to the US media.
“It is crucial that the US is now increasing its deliveries, this support is essential to stabilize the situation,” Zelensky said in a video message on Thursday evening.
“I thank our partners for their assistance, but the pace of deliveries must accelerate to disrupt the tempo of Russian assaults. We need more strength in weaponry and strong positions for diplomacy,”he added.
The video was in Ukrainian but had English subtitles, while two lines were posted in English on Zelensky’s X account.
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election last month, President Joe Biden’s administration has sought to send as much money, weapons, equipment and ammunition to Ukraine as possible before handing over power on January 20.
On December 2, the White House announced a $725 million package of military aid from Pentagon stockpiles under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA). Five days later, Washington said another $988 million worth of drones and missiles had already been supplied under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).
A third package followed on December 12, consisting of $500 million worth of drones, armored vehicles and ammunition for HIMARS rocket launchers.
Congress approved a $61 billion request for Ukraine funding in April. The Republican majority in the House of Representatives has since ruled out the White House’s request for another $24 billion. The $895 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) approved earlier this week did not include any aid for Kiev.
According to Al Jazeera, the White House may have up to $3.5 billion left in the PDA and another $2.2 billion under the USAI that it could “surge” to Kiev before Biden’s term expires.
Russia has maintained that no amount of Western aid will change the ultimate outcome of the conflict or prevent Moscow from achieving the goals of its military operation.

Russian officials reveal why doomed Grozny-bound plane diverted to Kazakhstan
The Embraer E190AR, which later crashed near Aktau,had been unable to land in Chechnya due to thick fog and Ukrainian terrorist drone attacks, the head of the air authority has said
An Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane that crashed in Kazakhstan this week had to be diverted away from the Russian city of Grozny because the airport there was temporarily closed due to Ukrainian drone attacks, Dmitry Yadrov, the head of Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency, has said. Poor weather conditions also contributed to problems on the ground, he added.
An Embraer E190AR operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, which was en route from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Grozny, Chechnya, crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, on Wednesday morning. At least 38 out of 67 people onboard were killed in the tragedy, including citizens of Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan on board.
Local officials said, citing preliminary data, that the tragedy was caused by a bird strike. There are reports that an oxygen cylinder exploded on board at the time of impact, with many passengers being rendered unconscious. Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have initiated investigations into the crash, with Russian officials also involved in the process.
In a statement on Friday, Yadrov said that following reports of the crash he informed his Azerbaijani and Kazakh colleagues that Russia is ready to cooperate in the investigation.
He noted that the tragedy was preceded by a “very complicated situation” near the Grozny airport. “At the time, Ukrainian strike drones were conducting terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure in Grozny and Vladikavkaz,” he said, adding that this prompted a temporary closing of the Grozny airport, with personnel there placed on high alert.
“Besides, there was thick fog near the Grozny airport,” Yadrov remarked, adding that visibility was limited to 500 meters, and the plane’s pilot attempted two landings, but eventually made the decision to leave the area and attempt to land in Aktau, across the Caspian sea. Yadrov stressed that the investigation is still ongoing.
On the day of the crash, a Ukrainian drone hit a shopping mall in Vladikavkaz, with one woman killed in the explosion. Officials in Chechnya also reported a Ukrainian drone raid on Grozny, and that all of the UAVs had been shot down.

How come Fog is always involved, don't the pilots check the weather?

In a groundbreaking legal battle, over 100 January 6 political prisoners have come together to file what is being hailed as the largest lawsuit ever against the Department of Justice. Officially named the January 6 Restitution and Wrongful Incarceration Lawsuit, this $50 billion class action is spearheaded by Jake Lang, a January 6 prisoner who has been incarcerated for nearly four years. Lang, through his new organization, Federal Watchdog, the Anti-Lawfare Group, is joined by an esteemed team of conservative attorneys, including Steven Metcalf, Anthony Sabatini, Stephanie Lambert, and Jonathan Gross. Together, they aim to expose the injustices faced by January 6 prisoners

Homelessness in the U.S. Hits Highest Level on Record as Billions of Dollars Are Sent to Foreign Nations
The 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was released on Friday and revealed the shocking number of homeless Americans.
“The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) tallied more than 770,000 people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2024, an 18 percent increase from 2023 that is likely an undercount,” The Hill reports.
The number of families with children experiencing homelessness also jumped 39 percent — meaning 150,000 children are out on the streets.
“Veterans were the only population where homelessness continued to decline, down 8 percent from 2023. The number of veterans experiencing homelessness has fallen 55 percent since HUD started collecting data on veteran homelessness in 2009,” the report noted.
HUD Acting Secretary Adrianne Todman released a statement about the surprising figures, saying, “No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve.”
“We at HUD deeply appreciate the work of our continuums of care and other community partners to end homelessness, especially given the challenges of 2023,” said Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. “You are critical to the success of HUD’s mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.”

Inside how the Capitol Police has changed since Jan. 6, 2021==1/2
J6 was another 911 to enact another Patriot Act, it wasn't just to set up Trump, but all Americans to be monitored more
Katherine Tully-McManus December 25, 2024
As Congress prepares to certify another election on Jan. 6, the U.S. Capitol Police looks like a vastly different agency than it was ahead of the attack on the Capitol four years ago.
Security officials on the Hill were widely excoriated for the lack of preparedness ahead of the attempted insurrection, prompting multiple high-level resignations in the following weeks. An oft-repeated criticism was that officials should have requested help prior to the attack, given clear signals that there would be a huge protest coming to the area with the potential to turn violent. Those issues coincided with a steep increase in violent threats made against members of Congress.
With that in mind, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger has sought to shift the agency’s identity as a traditional police force with a focus on Capitol Hill to a “protective force” built on intelligence gathering, threat assessment and flexing its nationwide authority and jurisdiction. It now has an intelligence bureau with dozens of agents, as well as field offices in Florida and California, with more possible in Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Texas.
But those shifts come at a cost. Capitol Police now operates with a $791.5 million budget, up more than 70 percent since the Capitol attack. Even accounting for inflation, that’s more than seven times the 9/11-era budget. Total spending is expected to reach $1 billion in the next few years, with officials requesting another 14 percent increase for next year’s budget.
“If all we had to do was protect the members of Congress on Capitol grounds, our budget would be a fraction of what it is,” Manger said in a recent interview. “We've got to protect the members of Congress all over the country.”
That has prompted some lawmaker questions about oversight. While Congress is the one that greenlights that funding, there’s an inescapable conflict given members’ increased fears for their own safety. No lawmakers publicly criticize USCP for its additional efforts to protect members — a difficult and complex task — but some would like to see transparency ramp up as more cash flows to the department, wondering if the increased money has really translated to increased safety.
“I think we need a lot of oversight on the United States Capitol Police processes, and that includes budget,” said Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), who sits on the House Administration Committee. “We need to be more active. And we need more transparency coming from leadership.”
In addition to the intelligence gathering operations, the new money has also gone toward addressing staffing shortages and attrition, with mixed results. Capitol Police leaders were already trying to grow the department before Jan. 6, as many of the officers were approaching retirement eligibility. Then hundreds more officers left en masse after the attack, too. Capitol Police officials now say that the first responder’s unit, expanded bicycle team, crowd management and civil disturbance units are “now appropriately trained and equipped.” While the department is still recruiting aggressively, staff has grown by between 300 and 400 employees since the riot, not counting hundreds of others hired to backfill retirements and attrition.
Back in December 2020, the FBI and multiple law enforcement agencies from NYPD to Washington State had raised concerns about the possibility that Donald Trump’s supporters would turn violent on Jan. 6. Capitol Police’s own intelligence unit saw social media posts about a plot to breach the complex — complete with maps of the building’s tunnels and explicit threats of violence against members of Congress.
But on Jan. 5 2021, guidance circulated within Capitol Police that “at this time there are no specific known threats related to the Joint Session of Congress Electoral College Vote Certification.” It couldn’t have been further from the truth or more disconnected from various intelligence, including the department’s own.
After years of expansion and training, Manger now describes the capabilities of the intelligence bureau of USCP as “world class.” He said it includes social media, emails, telephone calls and every other avenue for threats that are made against members and the Capitol. Manger told senators last week that the department has implemented all of the official recommendations for changes to USCP made by lawmakers in the wake of the attack.

In an opinion piece published by The Hill on December 26, 2024, lawyers Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte recommend a full assault on Democracy to block President-elect Donald J. Trump from assuming the presidency to which he was elected by a landslide in a fair election with overwhelming participation.
They argue that members of Congress, the representatives of the voters who chose President Trump by a record number of votes, now have an obligation to thwart the expressed will of the American people and that such action by Congress should be constitutionally insulated from judicial review.
They are wrong in every regard. Their thesis represents a dangerous perversion of the Constitution rather than the lawful application of the 14th Amendment. Indeed, among other fatal deficiencies in their argument and their purported support for it, they not only misread Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, they ignore Sections 1 and 5 and the 5th Amendment guarantee of due process with respect to action by the federal government.
Around 1864, President Lincoln reportedly said in substance, “Elections belong to the people….” Davis and Schulte clearly disagree.

EU state threatens Ukraine with power cuts
Slovakia promised to retaliate if Kiev stops transporting Russian gas
Slovakia could cut electricity supplies to Ukraine if Kiev stops transporting Russian gas to EU nations, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has said.
The Central European country, whose economy heavily relies on Russian gas, receives its supplies through Ukrainian territory via Soviet-era pipelines. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmigal announced earlier this month that, starting from 2025, Kiev will stop transporting Russian gas and will only use its pipeline system to deliver gas from alternative suppliers. The current contract with Moscow expires on December 31, with Kiev stating that it would not renew the deal.
“After January 1, we will assess the situation and potential reciprocal measures against Ukraine,” Fico said in a video message on Facebook. “If necessary, we will stop supplying electricity that Ukraine urgently needs during network outages.” He added that Bralistava could consider other retaliatory steps.
“Stopping the transit of Russian natural gas through Ukraine is not just a hollow political gesture. It’s an extremely costly move, one that we, in the European Union, will pay for,” Fico said.
He wrote on Facebook that, by scrapping the transit deal, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky “will cause billions worth of damages to the EU, including the Slovak Republic, and there will be a further reduction of the EU’s competitiveness.”
Ukrainian officials have criticized Fico for his recent trip to Moscow, arguing that the “pro-Russian” stance of Slovakia and Hungary are damaging the EU’s reputation and undermining the bloc’s resolve to help Kiev.
Russian President Vladimir argued this week that by terminating the transit deal Ukraine was “punishing” EU countries, as the continent continues to battle the energy crisis.
“We have always stood for [energy] supplies, for the depoliticization of economic issues. We have never refused supplies to Europe,” Putin said.
Kiev has so far not responded to potential sanctions from Slovakia. Bloomberg cited a person familiar with the matter as saying that Ukraine’s “counter-move” could be halting the transport of Russian oil to Slovakia.

Lee Harvey Oswald was being led down a corridor at Dallas police headquarters on the evening of November 22, 1963, when he uttered perhaps the most fateful phrase in the history of conspiracy theories. ‘I’m just a patsy!’ he screamed at reporters demanding to know whether he’d shot dead President John F Kennedy earlier that day in Dealey Plaza. Two days later, Oswald was himself shot dead by nightclub owner Jack Ruby in a moment captured live on television. He could never reveal whose ‘patsy’ he’d been – but there’s been no shortage of suggestions.

DEVELOPING: Graphic Bodycam Footage Released of New York Correctional Officers Beating Prisoner to Death
Bodycam footage of New York State prison guards at Marcy Correctional Facility fatally beating a handcuffed prisoner was released on Friday.
Robert Brooks, 43, who has been in prison since 2017 and serving a 12-year sentence for assaulting his girlfriend, was beaten by New York State prison guards on December 9. He died one day after the beating.
The footage shows officers kicking and punching Brooks.
According to the autopsy obtained by WKTV, “preliminary findings show concern for asphyxia due to compression of the neck as the cause of death, as well as the death being due to actions of another.”

First Supertanker to Be Scrapped in Two Years Is a Dark Ship
December 27, 2024
By Weilun Soon
Dec 27, 2024 (Bloomberg) –The Amor, a Cameroon-flagged vessel known to have transported Iranian oil, has become the first supertanker to be registered for demolition in more than two years, a sign that increased scrutiny on ships hauling sanctioned crude is raising pressure on operators.
The 24-year-old very large crude carrier was sold to an Indian scrapyard last week, according to a BRS Shipbrokers report and scrap dealer Wirana Shipping Corporation. This would be the first recorded, planned demolition of a VLCC since late 2022, when the Uranus was sent for disposal, according to ship-breaking data and BRS.
The scrapping of large ships became increasingly rare since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent imposition of Western sanctions on Moscow, which dramatically expanded demand for tankers to ferry restricted oil around the world. To support exports from the OPEC+ producer and from Iran, a plethora of private businesses stepped in to buy cheap, aging vessels — even two decades old and more — forming a “dark” fleet and keeping tankers afloat long past their usual lifespan.
Amor’s age, flag and other characteristics match those of this shadow flotilla. It was also included by the US Energy Information Administration in an October list of vessels involved in the export and sale of Iranian crude, though it hasn’t been blacklisted by US authorities.
The specific reason that prompted owners to tag Amor for disposal is not clear. Certainly, many dark-fleet tankers are much older and still in operation. But the decision comes as shippers report that tighter Western sanctions on shadow vessels have rattled the market and prompted operators to leave these ships idle at sea, or to shun them altogether. Weakening oil demand is also weighing on tanker rates that slumped in recent weeks as operator struggle to find work for their fleet.
“With Chinese demand and OPEC supply rangebound at best, and intensifying vessel-specific sanctions, VLCCs are under particular pressure. A clean-up of the aging fleet via scrappage is clearly due,” said David Wech, chief economist at analytics firm Vortexa.
In these conditions, scrapping older tankers can make sense, shipbrokers say — but must also be done fast. Once a ship appears on the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, blacklist, its scrap value tends to plummet. Mainstream dealers and yards shy away from taking such vessels as they could run the risk of facing secondary sanctions, according to BRS.
Amor Fleet Inc. and Valiant Marine Ventures FZE, who are listed on maritime database Equasis as the Amor’s owner and its manager respectively, do not list a phone number or email address, and it was not immediately possible to contact either. Calls and emails to the operator of the United Arab Emirates free-trade zone where the two are registered, Sharjah International Airport Free Zone, went unanswered.
Amor is known to have structural problems, which may have added to a broader struggle to secure bookings. Earlier this year, a Chinese port detained the ship for deficiencies including structural issues, fire safety concerns, and problems with markings that denote how much load it was carrying, according to Equasis.
In recent months, the US, UK and European Union have been sanctioning more individual vessels suspected of transporting sensitive cargoes, expanding the number of vessels considered “dark” and adding to downward pressure on freight rates. Fees have already been compressed by weak demand from China, whose refineries are key consumers for both Russia and Iran.
Since early October, US sanctions have focused on individual ships that transport Iranian crude. At least 60 million barrels’ worth of shipping capacity across more than 30 supertankers has been added to the dark-fleet pool, according to Bloomberg calculations. That compares with China’s consumption of 52 million barrels per month of Iranian crude, based on the latest three-month average shown by data provider Kpler.
That is not expected to ease in 2025. US President-elect Donald Trump’s national security adviser has vowed a “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran.
Amor could yet be pulled back into service, of course. Until the boat arrives, either the dealer in the giant scrapyard in Alang, in the Indian state of Gujarat, or the shipowner could still go back on the deal.
Amor’s signals currently suggest it is off Khor Fakkan, in the United Arab Emirates.

The U.S. Air Force Keeps Pulling Old B-1B Lancer Bombers from the ‘Boneyard’
By Brent M. Eastwood Published 1 day ago
Key Points: The U.S. Air Force has revived two mothballed B-1B Lancer bombers, “Lancelot” and “Rage,” from the Davis-Monthan AFB “Boneyard” to meet operational needs and Congressional mandates.
-These aircraft underwent extensive refurbishments, including repairs to egress systems and ejector seats, ensuring their readiness for modern missions.
-The B-1B, which boasts the largest conventional payload of any U.S. bomber, will remain critical until replaced by the B-21 Raider in the 2030s.
-This success highlights the potential of restoring stored aircraft, exemplifying an innovative and cost-effective approach to sustaining airpower amidst budget constraints and escalating global threats.
How the Air Force Revived Mothballed B-1B Lancers for Active Duty
When U.S. Air Force airplanes are sent to die in storage at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, you figure they are gone for good. But sometimes “storage” means they could come back into service someday. That is just what the Air Force is doing with B-1B Lancer bombers. The branch is pulling some of these mothballed jets back to active duty.
The “Boneyard” at Davis-Monthan, outside of Tucson, is in a prime location. The air is dry, and the conditions are warm and sunny, so there is less chance that old airplanes collect rust or that moisture fouls instruments.
Welcome Back from Inaction
The Air Force also used a type of silicon to seal the engines and gaps on two B-1Bs nicknamed “Rage” and “Lancelot.” This is called “Type 2000” storage, overseen by the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group.
Why the B-1Bs Are Needed
The B-1B Lancer has been a workhorse with a sterling combat record over the decades.
However, it will be replaced with the new B-21 Raider bomber, which will enter serial production in the late 2020s. By the early 2030s, all the B-1Bs will be gone.
Nevertheless, until then the B-1B Lancer will have an important job to do since great powers like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are threatening the global order. In fact, Congress requires at least 45 B-1B Lancers be in service. (cont) 1/2

Ever since The Post broke the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop in October of 2020, it’s been obvious that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s influence peddling schemes. The president’s serial denials were as credible as Bill Clinton’s claim that “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” Biden’s most ridiculous lie was that he never even discussed Hunter’s foreign business with him. Laptop messages and photos showing Joe meeting with some of Hunter’s skeezy clients proved otherwise. Revelations that the son got millions from Ukraine energy company Burisma, despite knowing nothing about energy or Ukraine, destroyed the fiction that this was a merit-based business.

Morgan McSweeney
Morgan McSweeney is an Irish political aide who has served as the Downing Street Chief of Staff under Prime Minister Keir Starmer since October 2024. Prior to this role, he was the campaign manager for the Labour Party and director of the think tank Labour Together.
Background and Career
Born in 1977 in Macroom, County Cork, Ireland, McSweeney built a reputation as a Labour organiser, leading successful campaigns to win a majority on the Lambeth London Borough Council and to defeat the far-right British National Party in Barking and Dagenham.
In 2017, he became the director of Labour Together during the Labour Party leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, where he worked to replace Corbyn and reduce left-wing influence in the party. In 2020, he led Starmer’s successful Labour leadership campaign and subsequently led Labour’s successful campaign in the 2024 general election.
Appointment as Chief of Staff
McSweeney was formally appointed as the Downing Street Chief of Staff in October 2024, following the resignation of Sue Gray. Gray cited concerns about becoming a distraction to Starmer’s government, and McSweeney’s appointment was seen as a popular move within parts of the Labour party.
Key Responsibilities
As Chief of Staff, McSweeney is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of Downing Street and advising Starmer on policy and strategy. His appointment marks a significant shift in the Labour government’s leadership dynamics, and his experience as a campaign manager and party strategist will likely inform his approach to his new role.
Personal Life
McSweeney is married to Imogen Walker and has one child. He holds a degree from Middlesex University.
Influence and Recognition
In June 2024, New Statesman ranked McSweeney first on a list of the most influential progressive figures in British politics, reflecting his significant role in shaping Labour’s electoral strategy and party dynamics.

Brownstone Institute has been tracking a little-known federal agency for years. It is part of the Department of Homeland Security created after 9-11. It is called the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency or CISA. It was created in 2018 out of a 2017 executive order that seemed to make sense. It was a mandate to secure American digital infrastructure against foreign attack and infiltration.

The Reckoning in Higher Education: Why
Linda McMahon As Secretary of Education
Has Academia Shaking
Townhall, by Isaiah Hankel
Posted By: Imright, 12/28/2024 2:23:28 AM
President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon is sending shockwaves through the ivory towers of American higher education. For years, university presidents and chancellors have enjoyed a largely unchecked reign, overseeing bloated bureaucracies, skyrocketing tuition, and ideological indoctrination masquerading as scholarship. McMahon's appointment and President-Elect Trump’s comments about reforming higher education signals the arrival of long-overdue accountability that I and many others in higher academia have been praying for. McMahon is the former head of the Small Business Administration.

Hertz’s EV debacle exposes the green tyranny scam
Hertz’s ambitious plan to electrify its rental fleet has failed, leading to significant financial losses, including a $1 billion impairment charge, plummeting stock prices and the resignation of CEO Stephen Scherr.
The company’s EVs were expensive to maintain, depreciated rapidly and were less popular with renters than traditional gas-powered vehicles, forcing Hertz to offload Teslas at heavily discounted prices.
The article argues that the push for EVs is part of a broader globalist agenda disguised as environmental stewardship, aiming to increase government control over individuals’ lives.
EVs are criticized for their high production and maintenance costs, reliance on environmentally destructive mining practices, and strain on power grids, challenging their status as a sustainable solution.
The author urges resistance against the globalist agenda, asserting that climate change is exaggerated and that EV mandates are a form of ideological overreach, using Hertz’s failure as a cautionary example.
The recent collapse of Hertz’s electric vehicle (EV) strategy is more than just a corporate misstep – it’s a glaring indictment of the so-called “green revolution” and the globalist agenda pushing it. Hertz, once hailed as a pioneer for its ambitious plan to electrify its rental fleet, is now desperately offloading Teslas at fire-sale prices, with some 2023 Model 3s going for under $18,000. This isn’t just a business failure; it’s a cautionary tale about the dangers of blindly embracing climate change hysteria and the green tyranny it enables.
Hertz’s foray into EVs was supposed to be a win-win: a bold step toward sustainability and a savvy business move to attract eco-conscious customers. Instead, it turned into a financial disaster. The company’s EVs proved to be expensive to maintain, depreciated at an alarming rate, and were less popular with renters than traditional gas-powered vehicles. The result? A $1 billion impairment charge, plummeting stock prices, and the resignation of CEO Stephen Scherr, who admitted the EV push had become a “distraction.”
This isn’t just about Hertz. It’s about the broader agenda being pushed by global elites under the guise of combating climate change. The EV mandate is a Trojan horse for greater government control over our lives, disguised as environmental stewardship. It’s a civil rights grab masquerading as a moral imperative.
The truth is, climate change is junk science. The alarmist predictions of doom have been repeatedly debunked, yet the globalist machine continues to push its agenda, using fear and guilt to manipulate the public. The EV craze is a prime example. Governments and corporations are pouring billions into electric vehicles, ignoring their flaws and the real-world consequences of their policies. Hertz’s experience is a microcosm of what happens when ideology trumps reality.
Electric cars are NOT green
EVs are not the panacea they’re made out to be. They’re expensive to produce, expensive to maintain, and rely on a supply chain that’s anything but green. The mining of lithium and other rare earth materials for EV batteries is environmentally destructive and often relies on exploitative labor practices. And let’s not forget the strain on our power grids, which are already struggling to meet demand.
But the globalists don’t care about these inconvenient truths. Their goal isn’t to save the planet; it’s to consolidate power and control. By forcing us to abandon gas-powered cars and embrace EVs, they’re not just dictating what we drive – they’re dictating how we live. It’s green tyranny, plain and simple.
Hertz’s failure should serve as a wake-up call. The company’s decision to offload 30,000 EVs by the end of 2024 is a tacit admission that the EV experiment has failed. Customers don’t want them, and businesses can’t afford them. Yet, governments around the world continue to push EV mandates, subsidizing the industry with taxpayer dollars and punishing those who resist.
The globalist agenda is clear: they want to control every aspect of our lives, from the cars we drive to the food we eat. They’re using climate change as a smokescreen to justify their power grab, and the media is complicit in spreading their propaganda.
It’s time to push back. We must reject the green tyranny and demand accountability from those who are pushing this agenda. Climate change is not the existential threat they claim it to be, and EVs are not the solution. Hertz’s debacle is proof that the emperor has no clothes.
Let’s learn from Hertz’s mistakes and stand up to the globalist agenda. The future of our freedom depends on it.

Jeffrey Prather: Drone sightings a DISTRACTION from the Deep State’s plan to use suitcase nukes
Recent drone sightings over New Jersey and the concern over "suitcase nukes" have sparked widespread apprehension, creating a sense of insecurity among the public as President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration.
Some experts, like former intelligence officer Jeffrey Prather, theorize that these drone incidents are a tactic to distract from the Deep State's plans. They suggest that these actions may be orchestrated by elements within the CIA and other government components to shift focus to external threats.
During the Cold War, both the U.S. and Soviet Union developed small-yield nuclear weapons (e.g., B-54 Special Atomic Demolition Munition). While considered relics, the possibility of their use by hostile forces remains a critical security concern.
President-elect Trump has expressed frustration with the lack of transparency regarding the drone sightings and safety concerns. His reluctance to stay overnight at his Bedminster golf club due to these incidents highlights the real threat.
The new administration faces the challenge of distinguishing between genuine threats and distractions, addressing security breaches, and dealing with potential internal threats within the government, all while avoiding the "rally around the flag" phenomenon that could divert focus from internal issues.
As the world looks on, the impending inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is overshadowed by ominous threats and concerns. Recent drone sightings over New Jersey, combined with the lingering specter of "suitcase nukes," have sparked widespread apprehension and confusion among the American public.
The government has remained tight-lipped about the source and intent of these drone incursions. However, some experts argue that these sightings are more than random acts of mischief and may be part of a well-coordinated effort to distract from a larger, more sinister plot.
In a recent appearance on "The Alex Jones Show" on InfoWars with guest host Mike Adams, former intelligence officer Jeffrey Prather warned that these drone incursions are not mere nuisances but are carefully orchestrated maneuvers designed to create chaos and shift focus away from the Trump administration's plans to dismantle the Deep State.
Prather said that the Central Intelligence Agency and other elements within the Deep State are orchestrating these drone incidents to create a sense of imminent threat from foreign powers like Iran or Russia. This, he argues, justifies a "rally around the flag" mentality and diverts attention from the actions of the outgoing administration.
The history of "suitcase nukes" adds another layer of complexity to the security landscape. During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union developed small-yield nuclear weapons that could be easily transported and deployed. These portable yet deadly weapons were designed to cause widespread destruction in a localized area.
One such device, the B-54 Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM), developed by the U.S. Army, had a maximum explosive yield of less than one kiloton. While the existence of these weapons may seem like a relic of the past, the possibility of their use by hostile forces cannot be entirely dismissed.
Former Soviet Lt. Gen. Alexander Lebed's claims in 1997, stating that around 250 suitcase nukes were created by the Soviet Union with 100 missing, still resonate through intelligence circles. The potential for these devices to be used to destabilize the new administration is a serious security concern. (Related: Cold War's deadly legacy: 100 Missing SUITCASE NUKES threaten modern security.)
Trump concerned about drone attack, but not a suitcase nuke bombing
Trump himself has expressed frustration over the lack of transparency from the government regarding the drone sightings. He said at a press conference Dec. 16: "The government knows what is happening. Our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. Something strange is going on, and for some reason, they don't want to tell the people."
Trump's reluctance to stay overnight in his Bedminster golf club due to safety concerns over the drone activity illustrates the real threat these incidents pose. But experts like Prather caution that the risk of a bombing, whether with a genuine nuclear device or a simulated attack, cannot be ruled out. Such an incident could occur during Trump's inauguration or at other key locations, such as the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.

Kamala Harris to Certify Trump’s Win
on January 6 After The Hill Sets Internet
Ablaze with Insurrection Plan
Gateway Pundit, by Christina Laila
Posted By: Imright, 12/28/2024 7:33:35 AM
Kamala Harris will certify Trump’s win on January 6, 2025 after The Hill floated a ridiculous insurrection plan earlier this week. The Hill set the internet ablaze after an insurrection plan to keep Trump out of office was published. Harris’s aides said the vice president intends to carry out her duties and certify the 2024 presidential election on January 6. “Harris aides have said she intends to carry out her duties as all vice presidents have before her, in part because it is right and also because it’s the law. Indeed, lawmakers seem so certain that Jan. 6, 2025 will lack intrigue that they’ve largely treated it as an afterthought.

Dayle Haddon dies in suspected carbon monoxide leak at Hallmark star's Pennsylvania home
Model Dayle Haddon died and another person was hospitalized after a suspected carbon monoxide leak at a home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on Friday, authorities said. Records show the home is owned by Haddon's daughter, former journalist Ryan Haddon, and Ryan's husband, actor Marc Blucas.
Solebury Township police say authorities were investigating a property on the 6900 block of Phillips Mill Road after a resident called 911 at around 6:30 a.m. to report a 76-year-old man had passed out on the first floor of a detached office or in-law suite on the property.
The Lambertville-New Hope Ambulance and Rescue Squad was first on the scene and removed the man from the building. He was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey and his condition was not immediately available.
A second victim, a 76-year-old woman, later identified by the Bucks County Coroner's Office as Dayle Haddon was found dead in a second-floor bedroom in the in-law suite. Haddon rose to fame in the 1970s and '80s as a supermodel and later became an ambassador for the humanitarian aid organization, UNICEF. She is also the founder of WomenOne, a 501(c)3 organization based in New York, focused on creating educational opportunities for girls and women, according to her website.
Officials did not immediately identify the 76-year-old man or say if Blucas or Ryan Haddon were in the home at the time.
The New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company detected high levels of carbon monoxide in the building, police said.
"Preliminary investigation is showing that a heating unit malfunctioned exposing a large amount of carbon monoxide within the carriage house," said Detective Sgt. Jonathan Koretzky.
Two medics were taken to Doylestown Hospital for treatment after the exposure and a Solebury Township police officer was treated at the scene. All three are said to be stable, according to officials.
According to public records, Ryan Haddon and Blucas purchased the home in 2012 for just over $1 million. Blucas has said in multiple interviews that he is restoring the home, which was built in 1711.
The former Wake Forest University basketball player pursued a career in Hollywood and eventually appeared in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as Riley, one of Buffy's love interests.
He's also appeared in "Blue Bloods" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," with lead roles in the TV series "Necessary Roughness" and "Killer Women." He once played Katie Holmes' love interest in the movie "First Daughter," where Holmes plays the daughter of the president of the United States. Michael Keaton plays the president in the film.
In an appearance on the Hallmark Channel promoting the 2016 movie "Operation Christmas," Blucas spoke about restoring the centuries-old property with his wife and kids.
"It was before George Washington was born... it's pretty amazing, and it's a way to stay creatively stimulated when I'm not out filming," he told hosts Mark Steines and Debbie Matenopoulos.
The Butler, Pennsylvania, native said he wanted to be closer to family so they moved back to the East Coast.
"It's the only part of the United States that has that kind of architecture with old stone barns and old stone houses," Blucas said. "And so I knew it would be projects for life, which it is."
The family lived in the guest house on the property while the main house was being renovated and then started getting animals like chickens and rabbits, he said in the interview.
Ryan Haddon now works as a life coach and hypnotherapist, according to her social media profiles. She was married to actor Christian Slater for several years and they had two children together.

US and UK planning terrorist attacks on Russian bases in Syria – intel
Washington and London aim to use Islamic State fighters to carry out the assaults, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said
The US and UK are planning terrorist attacks on Russian bases in Syria in order to prevent the situation in the country from stabilizing, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said.
Since the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government earlier this month, Washington and London have set agoal of “maintaining chaos in the Middle East” in order to achieve a lasting dominance over the region, the agency said in a statement on Saturday.
However, Russia’s military presence on the Mediterranean coast of Syria, which still serves as a significant factor in regional stability, has been hampering the realization of their plans, it stressed.
“In order to remove this ‘obstacle,’ British intelligence services are developing plans to organize a series of terrorist attacks on Russian military facilities in Syria,” the SVR said.
The role of the perpetrators of those assaults will be assigned to the fighters of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), who were released from prisons after the regime change in the country, it added.
“According to available information, representatives of the British intelligence service MI6 and the America’s CIA recently tasked Syria-based IS commanders under their control with carrying out a series of attacks on Russian military bases. To do out this dirty work, the terrorists received attack UAVs,” the statement read.
In order to cover up their involvement in the planned Islamic State attacks on Russian bases, the US and UK military commands have instructed their air forces to continue to carry out strikes on IS positions in Syria, the SVR claimed.
The terrorists are being warned about those airstrikes in advance, it added. “London and Washington hope that such provocations will prompt Russia to evacuate its troops from Syria. At the same time, the new Syrian authorities will be accused of being unable to control the radicals,” the statement read.
Russia had been an ally of Assad’s government, helping Syria to fight terrorism since 2015. In 2017, Moscow and Damascus signed a deal for a 49-year lease by the Russian military of the Tartus naval base and the Khmeimim airbase in the east of the country.
During his end-of-year press conference last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “an overwhelming majority” within the group now controlling the situation in Syria “have expressed an interest in retaining our military bases.”
The Tartus and Khmeimim facilities are currently being used to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid to the country, he added. The issue of maintaining a Russian military presence in Syria requires “careful consideration,” Putin stressed. “We must reflect on how our relations will evolve with the political forces currently in control and those that will govern this country in the future.”

O’Leary: Canada and U.S.Together ‘Would

Breitbart Clips, by Pam Key
Posted By: Imright, 12/28/2024 7:57:26 AM
Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Americas Newsroom,” Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary commented on President-elect Donald Trump’s comments about Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States. O’Leary said, “More than half of Canadians, there’s 41 million of them, want to know more, want to understand what the proposal really is because the concept of an economic union has been bandied around for 40 years and it makes sense because the resources Canada have, the U.S. needs, particularly power and water. But there’s something else, you know, we’ve been talking about the border between Canada and the United States. That’s not the problem.”

Who is Steve Davis? Elon Musk’s go-to cost-cutter is working for DOGELAT
Nov. 13, 2024.1/2
Elon Musk’s deputy Steve Davis has spent more than 20 years helping the billionaire cut costs at businesses such as SpaceX, the Boring Company and Twitter — making the engineer by training a natural choice for his new role at Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE for short.
Davis is helping recruit staff at DOGE, Musk’s effort to reduce government waste, in addition to his day job as president of Musk’s tunneling startup, the Boring Company.
At Boring, Davis has a reputation for frugality, signing off on costs as low as a few hundred dollars, according to people familiar with the conversations —unusual for a company that has raised about $800 million in capital. He also drives hard bargains with suppliers of productssuch as raw steel, sensors, or even items as small as hose fittings, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information.
His favorite directive for staff doing the negotiations: “Go back and ask again.” Davis has emerged as a key figure in Musk’s stable of company executives. An aerospace engineer by training, he’s spent time at SpaceX and Boring, and was brought in to help with the takeover of Twitter (now called X), where Musk and his team dramatically cut costs and headcount. (Very Trumpiam)
Davis embraced the work with such fervor that for a while, he slept at the Twitter offices with his partner and their newborn baby.
DOGE is not an official government agency. Its authority and mandate are still largely unclear.But Davis’ presence suggests that the program could re-create some of the aggressively frugal, and at times chaotic, transformation effortsthat have become a hallmark of Musk’s leadership in the private sector.
Davis started working for Musk in 2003, when he joined SpaceX, at the time a new company. He had just earned a master’s degree in aerospace engineering from Stanford University, and distinguished himself at the startup by solving hard engineering problems.
At one point, Musk tasked the engineer with finding a cheaper alternative to a part that cost $120,000. Davis spent weeks on the challenge and figured out how to do it for $3,900, according to a biography of Musk. (Musk emailed back one word: “Thanks.”)
Davis stuck with Musk, and by 2016 was leading the Boring Company, a startup that aims to “solve traffic” with underground transit. Boring has built a handful of short tunnels in Hawthorne, Calif., greater Austin and Las Vegas. Davis, an avid reader who can quote Ayn Rand, brought rigor and some whimsy to the enterprise, people who worked with him say. =He gave several of the company’s massive boring machines literary names, such as Prufrock.==
Davis’ interactions with the government weren’t always positive. Boring, which must navigate a morass of national, state and local rules to build its tunnels, has run into major regulatory challenges — particularly around environmental requirements that dictate when and if the first shovel can hit the ground. Neighbors have also been a challenge. At one point, Davis was on track for a proposed project in Los Angeles, but nearby residents got wind of the project and sued — successfully scuttling the endeavor.
Working in Las Vegas created its own set of regulatory run-ins for Boring. Tunnels the company built to connect the convention center in Las Vegas to two nearby hotels, the Wynn Encore and the Westgate, still aren’t open to the public, more than a year after their completion. The Nevada Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration fined Boring $112,504 after an investigation into conditions during construction. Complaints from workers included toxic muck falling from overhead conveyor belts and an overloaded bin collapsing and disgorging its contents across the work site.
Chafing at government rules has been a recurring theme for Musk, whose net worth recently surpassed a record $400 billion. Aside from Boring’s challenges, SpaceX and Tesla have had their own issues with regulators, ranging from launch approvals to mask mandates. Critics of DOGE have speculated that the billionaire and his associates could use their influence to, say, lower budgets for regulatory bodies that have put up road blocks for his companies.

Asked about Musk’s potential conflicts of interest, President-elect Donald Trump saidthat Musk will put the interests of the country first.
When Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, he deputized Davis to help cut costs, trim staff and rein in what Musk viewed as an overly liberal environment. Davis and his family slept in a makeshift bedroom at the company’s headquarters during crunch time, as Musk told staff to be “extremely hardcore.”
At the time, some people speculated that Davis would become CEO of Twitter. Instead, Davis returned to Boring, which has its main facilities in Las Vegas and in Bastrop, Texas, near Austin.
There, he has burnished his reputation as a cost-cutter and hard-driving boss.Davis has tended to spend more time in Las Vegas than in Bastrop, where he stays in a mobile home while in town, alongside the mobile homes of other workers. During those times, he would appear silhouetted through the window, often talking urgently into his phone until late at night while pacing around the kitchen table, according to people familiar with the company.
Former employees recount tales of being sent on flights between Austin and Las Vegas to collect or drop off a needed part, such as sensors for the tunnel boring machines.The company maintained such strict deadlines that Davis sometimes preferred to get the parts the same day rather than wait for next-day-air commercial shipping.
Former employees recall the consternation that erupted when a key part got waylaid en route to Las Vegas in a hotshot truck, a vehicle used to transport small freight from point to point.The truck, which Boring was monitoring remotely, made an unexplained stop for several hours in Arizona. Pressure to meet one of Davis’ deadlines was so intense that the Boring Company paid for a relative of an employee who lived in the area to go track down the truck and urge the driver to get back on the road.
Davis often scheduled meetings at 7 p.m. or later for engineers, some of the people said. He would typically participate remotely. One person who spoke with him frequently by phone said he would aim to multitask during meetings, eating while on a call.
Multitasking has proved a Davis signature, dating back to his student days. While he was working on his doctorate in economics at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Davis was working full time at SpaceX and owned a frozen-yogurt shop called Mr. Yogato in Washington’s Dupont Circle. ==Alex Tabarrok, one of Davis’ professors, remembers him juggling the multiple roles.
“I told him, ‘Look, you’re getting a PhD, you can’t be having a job and running a business at the same time,” Tabarrok recalls. “Focus on getting your PhD.”
But Davis declined to give up any of his pursuits, at one time incorporating business trends at Mr. Yogato into an academic paper and bringing some yogurt into class for sampling. Tabarrok can’t recall Davis’ grades, but says he stood out. He “had so much energy, and was so entrepreneurial,” Tabarrok says. “It’s been kind of exciting to see him become one of Elon’s most trusted right-hand men.”

Hapag-Lloyd US Port Strike Surcharges To Go Into Effect Same Day As Trump Inauguration
Ocean container carrier Hapag-Lloyd announced two surcharges ahead of a potential strike by unionized longshore workers at U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports in January.
The Work Disruption Surcharge (WDS) and Work Interruption Destination Surcharge (WID) are effective Jan. 20, 2025, in the event of a strike, the German company said in an announcement on its website.
“This surcharge covers additional costs from labor disruptions, strikes, slowdowns, unrest, congestion, and other unforeseen events that may delay operations and incur extra handling, storage, and feeder service costs,” the announcement stated.
The surcharges take effect on Jan. 20, the same day President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated and just after the current longshore contract extension expires Jan. 15.
.rump earlier this month publicly backed the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) in its contract dispute with port employers represented by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX).
After bargaining resumed following a three-day strike in October, the union broke off negotiations in November, charging ocean carriers and terminal operators were trying to eliminate union jobs by forcing provisions for automated container-handling into a new contract. Employers fired back, saying semiautomated container cranes were desperately needed to improve efficiency and make U.S. ports globally competitive, which they claim will create more dockworker jobs.
“We want to avoid another strike, and hope that our employers represented by United States Maritime Alliance will respect our demands for a fair and decent contract,” wrote ILA President Harold Daggett in a Christmas message to members posted on the union’s website.
The WDS is $850 per 20-foot container and $1,700 per 40-foot box, covering all equipment types. The surcharge covers imports from all ports in North Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Oceania and Latin America to the U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports.
The WID is also $850 per 20-foot, and $1,700 per 40-foot, containers of all types. It applies to imports from all ports in East Asia-Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Macau, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines to the U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports.
Hapag-Lloyd said the surcharges will be waived if no disruptions take place. They do not apply to containers already on the water or in terminals before Jan. 20.

Jewish Committee Protests Pope Francis’s ‘Unbalanced Criticism of Israel’
The International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultations (IJCIC) has written an open letter to Pope Francis criticizing his “one-sided perspective” in the Gaza conflict.
In the letter, the IJCIC takes issue with the pontiff’s “troubling and deeply concerning” remarks regarding the conflict in Gaza, which “have been repeated on several occasions.”
Portraying Israel’s war efforts against Hamas simply as “cruelty” is mistaken, and “risks presenting a one-sided perspective that overlooks the broader context and complexities of the current crisis,” the letter states.
The respectfully worded letter, signed by IJCIC chairman Rabbi Mark Dratch, asserts that Israel is engaged in a “defensive war against jihadist terrorism” provoked by “the brutal and unprecedented massacre perpetrated by Hamas on October 7.”
In its attack, Hamas murdered more than 1,400 innocent Israelis and others “in cold blood,” the letter declares, and of the 251 hostages abducted that day, “101 remain held hostage under unspeakable conditions.”
Therefore, to frame Israel’s actions solely in terms of cruelty without acknowledging the necessity aim of dismantling a terrorist infrastructure that has repeatedly targeted civilians “diminishes the suffering experienced by Israeli families and communities,” the letter states, and further fuels the “rampant antisemitism” raging throughout the world.
Along with the damage done to the Jewish community, such ambiguous statements also “risk undermining the moral clarity needed to confront the global threat of terrorism,” the text continues.
Hamas not only imperils Israeli lives, but also “callously uses its own civilian population as human shields, storing weapons in hospitals, schools, and residential areas,” it adds, which makes it “agonizingly difficult” to prevent the deaths of innocents while fighting combatants.
Israel’s actions are motivated “not by cruelty but by the imperative to safeguard its population against existential threats,” the letter insists.
We urge the Holy See “to condemn regularly and forcefully the atrocities committed by Hamas with equal fervor,” it declares, since silence on this matter “risks emboldening those who seek to sow hatred and destruction.”

What Every Small Business Needs to Know About the Corporate Transparency Act
The Corporate Transparency Act is back on hold as of December 26, 2024. Stay on top of the updates, here.
Editor's Note: 12/27/24: On December 26, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit paused the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), thus pausing the beneficial ownership reporting requirements for U.S. small business owners. This reverses the earlier decision from December 23, 2024, to reinstate the CTA and its reporting requirements. The CTA remains on hold for now while under review. We will keep you updated as further developments unfold.
Under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which went into effect on January 1, 2024, many U.S. small business owners are required to file corporate transparency reports with beneficial ownership information.
For most eligible businesses, the filing deadline is January 13, 2025. Those who fail to file by this deadline — or fail to update this information if needed — could face up to two years imprisonment and fines up to $10,000, in addition to civil penalties of up to $591 per day.
[Download our full guide on how to file your Beneficial Ownership Information Report]
What is the Corporate Transparency Act?
The CTA was enacted in 2021 to combat illicit activity including tax fraud, money laundering, and financing for terrorism by capturing more ownership information for specific U.S. businesses operating in or accessing the country’s market. Under the new legislation, businesses that meet certain criteria must submit a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This report provides details identifying individuals who are associated with the reporting company.
The CTA was established to prevent individuals with malicious intent from hiding or benefitting from the ownership of their U.S. entities to facilitate illegal operations which, according to Congress, is a widely-used tactic that affects national security and economic integrity.

Government places drone restrictions over 11 military sites
December 28, 2024
While drone legislation already covers most military sites, the new restrictions provide additional protection to address national security concerns.
These measures, it is understood, aim to enhance deterrence and offer more legal options following a surge in drone sightings near critical facilities, particularly those linked to nuclear weapons.
The 11 sites affected by the new restrictions are:
Alconbury
Croughton
Fairford
Feltwell
Fylingdales
Lakenheath
Menwith Hill
Mildenhall
Molesworth
Oakhangar
Welford
These sites are all key Ministry of Defence locations, with some linked to nuclear operations or sensitive military activities.
The restrictions apply to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) flying within specific altitudes and distances around these sites.
This move comes after a series of unexplained drone sightings at US airfields across the UK, including two sites associated with nuclear weapons.
While no arrests have been made, the incidents have sparked concerns that the activities may be linked to Russia.
The authorities are continuing their investigations, although sightings have decreased significantly since late November.
To support this, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has issued temporary restrictions on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) at the affected locations.
These restrictions, which run from December 23, 2024, to March 23, 2025, are designed to mitigate risks to national security.
They apply to drones only, with manned aircraft unaffected. Specific altitude limits and geographic boundaries have been set for each site, with the exception of certain emergency service operations.

CDC can't substantiate COVID vaccine ingredient claims, FDA forced to turn over Pfizer data
New dashboard lets users search free-text fields from vaccine-injury data the CDC tried to hide. Louisiana ditches "one-size-fits-all paternalistic guidance" on vaccinations, urges doctor-patient decisionmaking.
Federal public health agencies are known for black-and-white public service announcements that portray their favorite COVID-19 treatments as universally beneficial without providing supporting data, particularly the effectiveness of each new vaccine formulation.
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner-nominee Marty Makary once accused the current officeholder, Robert Califf, of wildly exaggerating data in claiming that since-rescinded bivalent vaccines, which targeted two COVID strains, showed a "significant reduction in hospitalization and death in all populations examined, which is clinically meaningful."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which similarly claims COVID vaccines are safer than infections for all populations, has now been caught empty-handed when asked for data to support its claim, on the same "myths and facts" page, that "nearly all the ingredients" in the therapeutics are found "in many foods – fats, sugars, and salts."
The Informed Consent Action Network and Mississippi Medical Professionals for Informed Consent filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all documents including "studies, journal articles, manufacturer data, etc." that are "sufficient to show the foods that contain the same ingredients as those found in the COVID19 vaccines" to verify the CDC's claim.
They also asked for data on foods that contain the ingredients listed in the vaccine inserts, in another five FOIA requests: "recombinant spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus … nucleoside-modified messenger RNA …extracts from the soapbark tree" and exotic-sounding chemicals such as "methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside," and evidence that the body responds the same to an ingredient whether eaten or injected.
The CDC's response to the broadest request? Its National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases does not have "any documents pertaining to your request."
The FOIA officer told the entities to ask the FDA for the data because "the subject matter expert notes that ingredients in specific vaccines fall under the responsibility of the FDA," and also told them how to appeal the agency's response up the FOIA command chain.
"Typically, if one agency points us to another, ICAN will have us submit the same requests to that other agency although here, ICAN was questioning the evidence justifying a statement on CDC’s own website so it’s unclear why CDC would have no records yet FDA would have them," ICAN's lawyer Elizabeth Brehm told Just the News in an email.
She shared the agency's responses to all six FOIAs, which gave the same no-records response but also cited various CDC and FDA pages, including kinds of vaccine ingredients and examples, such as the stabilizer gelatin and "residual inactivating ingredient" formaldehyde, and a long explanation of why certain ingredients are in vaccines.

Washington University Explains how H-1B Visa Holders can Scam the System
Extensions beyond six years
Generally, H-1B status can be held for a total of six (6) years, applied for in increments of up to three (3) years. However, extensions beyond the six (6) years are possible in some circumstances. If an employee believes they are eligible and the hiring department wishes to pursue an extension, the hiring department should contact OISS.
H-1B recapture time
Only time spent physically present in the U.S. in H-1B status is counted toward the maximum H1-B period. Days spent outside the U.S. can be “recaptured” and added back to the employee’s total maximum period of stay, provided those absences are properly documented.
To properly document time spent outside of the U.S., we encourage H-1B employees to keep a detailed record of all travel abroad along with all related immigration documents. The evidence of travel is the employee’s I-94 records. USCIS may accept the following documents as supplemental evidence: boarding passes, airline tickets, frequent flyer records, travel itineraries, credit card statements with travel purchases and hotel receipts.
Restarting the 6 year clock
>If the employee has been physically absent from the U.S. for at least twelve consecutive months, they may be eligible for another six years of H-1B status.
Documentation of time spent outside the U.S. is necessary to apply for the additional period of H-1B status; this may include proof of employment outside the U.S., copies of lease agreements, etc.

FAA restricts drone company after Orlando show incident that injured boy
Updated: 10:30 PM EST Dec 27, 2024
The Federal Aviation Administration has suspended the "Part 107 waiver" for the drone company behind falling drones at an Orlando holiday show, the agency said Friday.
A Part 107 waiver enables drone pilots to operate their aircraft beyond the typical restrictions outlined in the regulations.
Drone pilots can obtain this waiver to deviate from specific rules if they can fly safely using alternative methods.
This waiver permits pilots to operate drones in typically prohibited ways, including flying over people, navigating over moving vehicles, exceeding the visual line of sight and more.
The Texas-based company, Sky Elements, is known for its impressive performance on "America's Got Talent."
Now, it's at the center of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Administration and the FAA.
The FAA reports several drones collided during the show on Saturday night, causing them to fall into the crowd.
The drone show typically features a display of synchronized drones flying in formation to create designs in the night sky.
However, one of the drones struck a 7-year-old in the chest, requiring emergency heart surgery.
The mother of the boy said the drone struck his chest with such force that it damaged one of his heart valves.
Following the accident, the FAA suspended Sky Elements’ Part 107 waiver, which limits the company's ability to operate drones beyond standard restrictions.
The FAA said in a statement that this suspension will remain in effect for the duration of the ongoing investigation.
As of Friday, a drone show scheduled for New Year's Eve in Dallas was canceled. Dusti Groskreutz, the President of Reunion Tower, released a statement saying in part:
"Sky Elements Drones informed Reunion Tower that they will not be able to fly their New Year's Eve show.
They are doing this out of an abundance of caution following a recent incident as they carefully review their processes for future shows."
CNBC News also confirmed the cancellation of a New Year's Eve drone show in New York's Central Park, which was scheduled to be put on by the same company.
The show was set to replace a fireworks show that was canceled due to drought restrictions.

China combines 3D printing and drones to support troops in combat zones
Dec 27, 2024 10:46 AM EST
China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is testing a system aided by 3D printing and drone deliveries to help the forces repair their equipment in remote locations or during wartime. The PLA is potentially testing this capability.
According to the reports, the testing was carried out by a brigade belonging to the PLA’s Northern Theatre Command Air Force.
This comes just months after the United States Army tried to get this capability and demonstrate it on the front lines.
Reports have also hinted at the US using this tactic to help Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines get replacements for the damaged parts of their equipment.
If successfully deployed on a large scale, it could change how conventional wars are fought, as it would greatly help the troops.
3D printing parts and drone delivery by China’s PLA
According to a recent South China Morning Post (SCMP) report, the PLA’s Northern Theatre Command Air Force trialed the remote maintenance technology during an equipment repair drill.
The Chinese troops involved in the drill applied new technologies to the entire equipment maintenance process.
The maintenance team used a 3D printer to make functional replicas of the damaged parts at one site on the field. Once created, they were attached to drones and sent off to troops in various remote areas on the testing field.
According to the report, one such example of real-time problem-solving by the Chinese PLA involved a team sending a distress message conveying the breakdown of a missile-launching vehicle.
Once the remote maintenance team got the message, the 3D blueprint of the equipment was finalized. Following this, the maintenance team guided the troops on the ground to find and fix the fault.
It is important to mention that this might not be the first time that the PLA has tried such a capability, but the latest report suggests that it is developing and could be used in the future in real-world situations.
US has already tried this technology
The US Department of Defense (DOD) supplied 3D printers to Ukraine to give them the capability to fabricate critical parts for military equipment rapidly.
Another US startup raised $12 million from backers like Lockheed Martin to develop cheap miniature 3D-printing drone factories for battle zones like the Ukraine.
Moreover, in October this year, a senior US Army official revealed that the service is adding a new 3D model as data for helping the troops.
The US services have tried making those parts that the original manufacturers no longer produce and stock or can be procured after a lengthy process.
Therefore, adding 3D model data sets to the system can help ensure they can be safely produced when deployed on the ground.
The October report by Defense News states that the Army has about 1,000 parts mapped and loaded in its repository – and it aims to add an exponentially high number of them in the years ahead.

The Masks Have Been Dropped. Tahrir Al-Sham Wants To Establish Contact With The Zionists
The second month of the “renewed” Jabhat Nusra’s rule has begun and the world community is witnessing the brutal aggression of the Takfirists against the minorities of Syria; the Alawites and Christians have even had to arm themselves. However, the propaganda of Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia is repeating about the “remnants of the former regime” who allegedly started an “uprising”, thereby justifying the actions of the al-Julani dictatorship against the minorities of Syria.
At the same time, the jihadist regime is trying to flirt with the main enemies of the Islamic World, when the self-proclaimed governor of Damascus directly stated that his group “has no problems with Israel“, and he also demanded that the Americans establish “good relations” between the parties. These words from the Tahrir al-Sham representative made Erdogan look like a complete fool, especially against the backdrop of the words of his main ally in the ruling coalition: “After the liberation of Damascus, al-Quds will be liberated.” (After some time, the same member of the Jabhat Nusra regime hastened to refute his words, since his superiors understand that various other factions of the FSA can use this incriminating evidence for the upcoming political struggle in the new Syria) In fact, the interview with the Americans explains why Jabhat Nusra so easily allows the Zionists to seize lands in the south of the country.
For its part, Zionism has tried to point to the “new government” of Syria as an “enemy“, but such a diplomatic maneuver has been characteristic of the occupiers for many years. “Israel” is trying to show itself to the world community as the “only democracy” in a hostile region with an abundance of dictatorships and sectarian groups, so when one of the aforementioned forms of political government exposes its ties to the Zionists, the occupiers immediately try to hide these very ties. Zionist statements should always be seen as a kind of code that combines a message for the West, a justification for their existence and a certain agenda. When Zionism “complains” about the jihadist nature of the regime in Syria, it should be understood as a complaint to the American people about a certain “threat” at the gates of “Israel”, therefore, according to the logic of the Zionists, the Yankees should help the “only democracy” in the region. But when that very help is received, the Zionists will direct it precisely at the ideological enemies of Tahrir al-Sham in the person of Iran and certain organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Since only the Islamic Republic and the ideal brothers Hamas in the region have Zionism as an existential enemy.
As for Tahrir al-Sham, they are fulfilling their part of the deal with the Americans properly. Zionism has been given guarantees of “peaceful coexistence“, and the main enemy of the “new Syria” is now Iran and its allies. Everything happened as the envoys from Washington wanted. Just a couple of months ago, Tahrir al-Sham expressed condolences over the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar and claimed that in their march on Damascus, they took an example from the actions of Hamas on October 7, 2023. But today, officials of the former al-Qaeda assure the Zionists that they want to live in peace with the occupiers and Syria under the rule of Tahrir al-Sham “will not become a threat” to the Zionists.
It is important to add that despite the alleged support of Hamas, during the entire “al-Aqsa flood”, neither Tahrir al-Sham nor their allies or supporters from the Syrian opposition have ever condemned the Zionist invasion of the Gaza Strip, ignored the Palestinian genocide or offered any assistance to the Palestinians. Instead, Tahrir al-Sham is drawing the world’s attention to itself so that people continue to ignore the genocide of Gaza.

24 years ago and they're still lying to us.
Translation-
The CDC doesn't work for us.
They carried out a study in 1999 that found a direct correlation between the mercury in vaccines and speech and learning disorders and autism in kids, and the first thing they did was look for a way to invalidate that finding. Eventually they reformatted the way they used the data - they called it Phase II - and the new finding wiped out the old one.
They did the same thing three years later, in a 2002 study that found a correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism. Once again, they changed the study after the fact - they manipulated which kids were the subjects of the study. Using the new finding, they announced to the American public that there was no correlation.
Their job actually is to protect the vaccine industry, not the American public. They act like their interest is the health of our kids, but it isn't.

EPA Approves Road in Florida to be Made from Radioactive Waste
by Anthony Scott Dec. 27, 2024
The Biden-led Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a Florida project to use radioactive waste in road construction.
The EPA approved a project by Mosaic Fertilizer to construct a road using different mixtures of phosphogypsum, a radioactive waste.
Phosphogypsum is a radioactive byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production, and because of its radioactivity, it is usually stored in protective stacks.
In a statement the EPA shared that “Results from multiple modeling efforts indicate that risks due to the proposed pilot project are low.”

— TechSpot (@TechSpot) December 25, 2024
Per The Blaze:
After spending years talking a big game about improving the environment and public health, the Biden administration has evidently decided to end things on a radioactive note.
On Monday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved a request from Mosaic Fertilizer LLC, a major producer of phosphate fertilizer based in Tampa, to use phosphogypsum in a road construction project on private property in New Wales, Florida.
Phosphogypsum is a waste product generated by the phosphate industry when processing phosphate ore into the phosphoric acid used in fertilizer. This byproduct contains radium, which decays to form radon, an odorless and colorless radioactive gas linked to roughly 21,000 lung cancer deaths ever year, according to an EPA estimate. Under the Clean Air Act, phosphogypsum must be disposed of in engineered piles called stacks to limit public exposure.
A 2022 paper in the peer-reviewed journal Heliyon noted that phosphogypsum “stacked in the open severely damages soils, water systems, atmosphere and other environments. Radon-222 exhalation and hazardous gases containing phosphorus, cadmium and Radium-226 may have a negative impact on the atmosphere, releasing highly polluting substances and spreading pollutants to nearby areas.”

Environmental activists are concerned about the new project due to the possibility of the Phosphogypsum leaking into groundwater.
Ragan Whitlock, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, stated that the new project “dramatically increases the potential for harm to our road crews and water quality.”

Listen to the JetBlue Pilot’s Audio Claiming a UFO Flew Right in Front of Him Coast to Coast
December 27, 2024
A report by a JetBlue pilot about an eerie encounter with an unidentified flying object on a recent flight has really sparked curiosity and debate.
According to the pilot, it was a “bright orangey thing” that shot across the sky at astonishing speed, going from coast to coast before suddenly shutting its lights off and disappearing.
The description alone is enough to make even the most skeptical double-take.
The sighting has added to the growing list of UFO reports from pilots and the general public alike.
A JetBlue pilot with years of experience identifying everything from planes to celestial objects was fairly convinced that what he saw wasn’t anything ordinary at all.
It wasn’t a shooting star, it wasn’t another aircraft, and most importantly, it wasn’t some sort of trick of the eye.
Rather, the object went up in an arc while traveling in a trajectory about 30 degrees and simply disappeared.
Sightings of unexplained aerial phenomena crop up from all over the United States. Recently, an Oregon Life Flight crew reported a bunch of strange, red, erratic-moving lights that were dodging radar.
These lights remained visible for approximately 20 minutes before they vanished. Over 50 people near a California military base reported mysterious objects in the sky that would circle and then just disappear.
Even Arizona has its share of weird sightings, including one super bright object that had two pilots scratching their heads, with no corresponding radar targets to explain its appearance.
But what really makes this latest sighting particularly intriguing is the object’s behavior: it was traveling at high speed over a great distance and seemed to switch off its lights as if it knew it was being watched.
While most skeptics explain similar sightings with drones or some experimental aircraft, this one allows much room for speculation.
For example, drones can’t fly very far and usually are equipped with steady lights for safety. The way it moved plus that a commercial pilot was a witness gives weight to the mystery.
But for all of that time, UFO sightings took on a more serious tack in recent times.
It’s gotten to the extent now where the Pentagon has actually issued reports on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena-confirming a number of sightings had not been explained after their probe.
Military and commercial pilots increasingly come out with stories of their sightings, a layer of credence lent to what up until recently was consigned to the fringes as a conspiracy theory.
It is also particularly timely, tapping into our cultural fascination with UFOs-from science fiction classics to modern fare like Nope.
These mysterious objects have become part of our imagination, and the thought of someone traversing our skies for unknown purposes instills curiosity and unease.
Skeptics claim that such sightings usually are mistaken identity, the actual objects being drones, satellites, or some other natural atmospheric phenomena.
But when an experienced pilot in the skies recounts such a scenario, one cannot help but consider that perhaps we really do not know what exists out there.
Could it be an experimental aircraft? A new kind of technology? Or, as some like to speculate, a sign that we’re not as alone in the universe as we’d like to think?
Whatever the explanation, tales like this one fire up the imagination. If these sightings continue to stack up, the question may no longer be if UFOs exist, but what they are.

US Research Into Bioweapons Targeting Slavs Underway Since at Least the 1990s: Expert
Damning new details regarding the US military’s efforts to create ethnically-selective virus strains in Ukraine have been presented by Russia’s Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops. The new information is further evidence of an international criminal conspiracy going back decades, experts tell Sputnik.
“The United States is reportedly continuing its efforts to develop bioagents capable of selectively targeting different ethnic groups,” RCBD Troops chief Igor Kirillov said in a briefing Tuesday on the US government, military and Big Pharma’s ongoing military-biological activities in Ukraine.
“According to available information, the United States has begun to actively involve Moldova and Romania in its biomaterial logistics schemes” for the transfer of the biomaterials of Ukrainians out of the country, Kirillov said, detailing how Russia's special military operation has forced the US and its allies to adjust their tactics and try to cover their tracks.
“Such tactics can conceal the final recipient and divert suspicions away from US government agencies and the US biological warfare program,” Kirillov added.

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal by a Jess Bravin reported that attorneys general of many blue states are not going to give up quietly when Donald Trump, as president, begins to honor his election promises, such as the mass deportation of illegals. “A host of blue states are staffing up and building out legal battle plans for Trump’s return trip to the White House.” When Donald Trump will be sending ICE agents to blue sanctuary states to solicit help from local sheriffs and other police forces, the only response he may get is “civil and criminal litigation” from entities such as Maryland’s Federal Litigation Unit.
how long they are willing to continue their “humanitarian” virtue-signaling.

Trump wants to delay kicking Tik Tok out of the US:
Trump says a TikTok ban would empower Meta, slams Facebook as 'enemy of the people'
Published Mon, Mar 11 20248:46 AM EDTUpdated Tue, Mar 12 20246:14 PM EDT

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. president, told CNBC he fears that banning Chinese-owned social app TikTok would only serve to empower Facebook, which he labelled an "enemy of the people."
Trump said that "there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad" with TikTok, but that banning the platform could effectively help Facebook, which is owned by Meta, double in size.
Trump's view on TikTok contrasts with that of incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden, who has said he would sign a bill to ban the app, if Congress passes it.

CAMILLA, Ga. (WALB) - Officials are on scene at Tyson Foods where an explosion reportedly happened earlier in the night.
The plant located at 7220 US 19 in Camilla went up in flames.
Mitchell County Coroner, Jamey Thompson, says that a woman is dead. He says that at the moment, they can not access her as there is debris and damage in the way.
“We do have visual confirmation on her but as far as having access to her, we don’t,” he said.
Others were also injured in the explosion. Right now, the amount of people injured is unknown.
Coroner Thompson says from what he can tell there was an explosion, and the woman was reportedly on site when the explosion happened.
Camilla Fire Chief Jamie Sullivan said as of 2:50 a.m. the flames are out and fire crews are still on the scene to make sure it does not restart. He said as of now they are in a long-term recovery process due to part of the building collapsing.
Thompson said more updates will be provided later Friday morning.
“I know this is a big industry for Mitchell County. It was kind of only one portion of the plant that sustained damage,” he said. “I know it’s a horrible tragedy for the victims that were burned and also to the victim that did die. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.”

Strange 'red orbs' spotted over New Jersey by plane passenger as drone mystery continues
Updated 09:30, 28 Dec 2024
Strange "red orbs" have been spotted above the eastern US sparking theories as to their origin as the ongoing drone mystery continues.
The red orbs were seen by a passenger travelling to New York's JFK Airport as they passed over New Jersey - where 'drone' sightings have been rampant, baffling residents and sparking conspiracies.
Since the 'drones' were first spotted in the skies, speculation has run rampant as to their origin and purpose in the skies.
Americans have reported seeing mysterious drones and orbs in the skies above New Jersey and the eastern US, while UK residents have also reported seeing heightened 'drone' activity.
One passenger shared video footage on X (Twitter) showing what they described as two "reddish orbs" over New Jersey on Friday night.
User DJNarkatta said: "Saw these two reddish orbs on my way from LV (Las Vegas) to JFK tonight at around 9:30pm looking over NJ.
I am very excited to capture more footage this week."
They explained they used an iPhone 14 Pro to capture the footage, asking whether they could be UAPs, paper lanterns or planes in a landing pattern.
"I've always looked up in the sky with a keen interest in airplanes, and I grew up playing different updated versions of flight simulator.
When things look strange in the sky, I notice. I am very excited to capture more footage this week."
Another clip from user YogurtclosetFlat5701 was shared by conspiracy theory and UFO-enthusiast accounts on X/Twitter.
The strange red orbs were seen hovering in the air above the New York borough of Queens.
The FBI and Homeland Security have previously said the drones do not pose a public safety threat.
But the Federal Aviation Administration earlier this month banned drone flights in 22 areas in New Jersey and in 30 areas of New York where critical infrastructure could be found.
The drones have sparked widespread speculation online and even igniting UFO conspiracy theories in some cases.
It is not the first time footage of orbs was seen from a passing plane this month. F
ootage taken from a passenger flying from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Newark Liberty International fuelled the mystery even more.
Reddit user EasilyAmused, aka Ed, told the Express US: "I started noticing the objects about 20 minutes into the flight and then towards the end of the flight.
The objects show more detail than I noticed with my naked eye."
Belleville Mayor Michael Melham sparked a new theory about the drones, claiming they had been looking for "radioactive material."
He previously told Fox's Good Day New York: "What might they be looking for? Maybe that's radioactive material. It was a shipment.
It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged, and it was empty."
His statement came after the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission earlier this month issued an alert stating a piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans was "lost in transit" on December 2.
The item, an Eckert & Ziegler model HEGL-013, was being shipped from the Nazha Cancer Centre in Newfield in Gloucester County in southern New Jersey.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby recently downplay the significance of the drone sightings. He said:
"We assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones.
"We have not identified anything anomalous or any national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the Northeast, the work continues."

One year ago on our show, former FBI agent John DeSouza predicted and told us, told the world exactly what was about to happen.
A fake alien invasion, massive amounts of drones or alien craft or something.
We're going to be presented to the United States. And we were meant to then go into a panic mode.

New York Governor Hochul Signs Controversial Online Safety Bill, Renewing Free Speech Concerns.
Just like the last time she tried to enact such legislation – it promotes censorship under the guise of online safety. Among the measures is S895B/A6789B, a bill mandating social media companies disclose their terms of service regarding so-called "hate speech" and submit detailed reports to the state attorney general.

Rules for Defeating Radicals: Countering the Alinsky Strategy in Politics and Culture.
The distinct reason Republicans are blamed for government shutdowns is never honestly addressed.
The entire Democrat/media axis, along with its RINO enablers, have a vested interest in preventing the truth from ever seeing the light of day. If it was properly understood by the American people, the "Republicans are always to blame" narrative would immediately implode and the entire budget/government shutdown routine would drastically change. That prospect poses a threat which the D.C. Swamp simply cannot tolerate.
Christopher G. Adamo is from the American Heartland and has been involved in grassroots and state-level politics for many years, seeking to restore and uphold the Judeo-Christian principles on which our Nation was founded. He exposes the leftist agenda advanced by the "modern" Democrat party, and the complicity of liberal Republicans (RINOs) who aid and abet them from within the GOP. His book, "Rules for Defeating Radicals," warns the American people of just who leftists are, how they operate, and most importantly, how to effectively engage them.

South Korea has launched its first spy satellite using a rocket operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
The launch on Saturday came less than two weeks after rival North Korea announced it had successfully launched its own reconnaissance satellite, underscoring the accelerating space race between the neighbours.
South Korea’s satellite, carried by a “KOREA”-emblazoned SpaceX rocket, launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, entered orbit several minutes after launch and succeeded in communicating with ground control at 11:37am, South Korea’s defence ministry said.
The satellite promises to enhance Seoul’s ability to monitor nuclear-armed North Korea, which has until now been heavily dependent on the surveillance capabilities of its ally, the United States.
The satellite, which will operate between 400 and 600 kilometres (370 miles) above Earth, can detect an object as small as 30 centimetres (12 inches), according to the Yonhap news agency.
South Korea, which remains technically at war with the North, intends to launch four more spy satellites by the end of 2025 to boost its ability to keep tabs on Pyongyang.

Biden to seek ‘comfort’ from Pope – NYT
The outgoing president is planning to visit the Vatican in January, likely his final international trip as US leader
US President Joe Biden is set to visit the Vatican in January to seek solace and “relief” as his term draws to a close, according to the New York Times, citing sources close to the matter. The White House has confirmed that Biden accepted an invitation from Pope Francis during a phone call last week.
With less than a month remaining in his presidency, Biden will also meet with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden and Pope Francis will discuss global peace efforts. The New York Times reported, however, that the visit may also serve a more personal purpose, offering comfort as he prepares to leave office.
Pope Francis has reportedly been a confidant for Biden, exchanging occasional phone calls that have been quite casual, including “friendly check-ins.”
The upcoming meeting signals that Biden may have additional concerns weighing on him, the New York Times said.
In public, he has alluded to regrets about certain decisions, including not signing Covid relief checks personally. He has also faced scrutiny for more recent actions, including pardoning his son Hunter Biden. The decision sparked significant criticism, with some viewing it as a reversal of his earlier commitments not to interfere in his son’s legal matters. Despite the backlash, there have been no reports or official statements from the president expressing regret over the pardon.
Biden, a devout Catholic, has shared a longstanding connection with Pope Francis. Their previous conversations touched upon both personal and global issues, spanning topics such as climate change, poverty, and deeply personal matters, including the loss of Biden’s son Beau in 2015.
Foreign trips during a US president’s final month in office are not common. According to State Department records, the last president to do so was George H.W. Bush in January 1993. He traveled to Moscow to sign a nuclear treaty and to Paris for discussions on the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

(He'll most probably leave on Jan 4th, or 5th, to be there on Jan 6. What do they have planned for J6? This sounds really fishy.)

Elon, GOVT SPACE PIMP.
Quantum computers in space? Google’s CEO and Elon Musk are planning a revolution
The future of technology often feels like science fiction, and a recent conversation between Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, and Elon Musk of SpaceX proved just that. With Google unveiling its groundbreaking quantum chip Willow, a bold idea was floated—launching quantum computers into space. This visionary concept could not only transform quantum computing but also push the boundaries of modern science as we know it.
Google’s Quantum Leap with Willow
Quantum computing has long promised to solve problems far beyond the reach of traditional computers, and Google’s Willow chip seems to be delivering on that vision. In a recent demonstration, the chip completed a complex calculation in just five minutes—a task that would take classical supercomputers billions of years.
Google’s researchers describe this milestone as exceeding the known scales of physics, potentially unlocking groundbreaking possibilities in scientific research and technological development. But despite its promise, the field of quantum computing faces significant challenges.
Quantum chips require isolation from electromagnetic interference and must operate at extremely low temperatures—conditions that are difficult to achieve on Earth. These limitations hinder large-scale deployment and raise the question: Where can quantum computers thrive without such constraints?
Starship’s Role in the Quantum Future
Enter SpaceX’s Starship, the world’s most powerful spacecraft designed for ambitious missions such as lunar landings and the colonization of Mars. With its ability to transport massive payloads, Starship could offer an unexpected solution: creating a quantum cluster in space.
During a conversation on X (formerly Twitter), Sundar Pichai proposed sending quantum computers into orbit to take advantage of the ideal conditions offered by space. Free from Earth’s interference and with the ability to maintain stable, low temperatures, orbiting quantum systems could revolutionize how we process data and conduct research.

Mexico tests cellphone app allowing migrants to send alert if they are about to be detained in US
EST, Fri December 27, 2024 Source: AP
Mexico is developing a cellphone app that will allow migrants to warn relatives and local consulates if they think they are about to be detainedby the U.S. immigration department, a senior official said Friday.
The move is in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threats to carry out mass deportations after he takes office on Jan. 20.
The app has been rolled out for small-scale testing and “appears to be working very well,” said Juan Ramón de la Fuente, Mexico’s secretary of foreign affairs.
He said the app would allow users to press a tab that would send an alert notification to previously chosen relatives and the nearest Mexican consulate.De la Fuente described it as a sort of panic button.
“In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button, and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” he said.
U.S. authorities are obliged to give notice to home-country consulates when a foreign citizen is detained.Mexico says it has beefed up consular staff and legal aidto help migrants in the legal process related to deportation.
De la Fuente expects the app to be rolled out in January. He didn’t say whether the app has a de-activation tab that would allow someone to rescind an alert if they weren’t really detained.
The government says it has also set up a call centerstaffed 24 hours a day to answer migrants’ questions.
The Mexican government estimates there are 11.5 million migrants with some form of legal residency in the United States,and 4.8 million without legal residency or proper documents.(Bullshit)

Trump Backers: X Censors Critics of Musk, H-1B
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/musk-h-1b-x/2024/12/27/id/1193108/
Several prominent Republicans aligned with President-elect Donald Trump say they are being silenced by billionaire Elon Musk on his social media platform, X, over their opposition to Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's support for the H-1B work visa.
Laura Loomer said Thursday that there was "full censorship of my account simply because I called out H1B visas. This is anti-American behavior by tech oligarchs. What happened to free speech?"
She also said her account verification badge was taken away and subscriptions to her account were deactivated after Musk "called me a troll today."
"All of our influencers have now lost verification status, as well as our own page," the Trump-supporting ConservativePAC posted on X.
"Our brand did nothing. We spoke out against HB1 visas and it appears that @elonmusk intentionally shut us down? Is this the new status quo from America's 'most free' social media platform?"
"My verification badge is now under review. Weird! Didn't change anything," New York Young Republican Club president Gavin Wax, another vocal critic of H-1B visas, posted on X.
"Insane that blue checks are being removed from accounts that have been vocal in their criticism of the H1B racket. Horrible look," Wax said in a separate post. "I've supported Elon and X. Anyone who was at the @NYYRC gala can attest that I dedicated a large portion of my speech to praising Elon. Sad!"
The H-1B work visa, a key program to attract international talent, has been criticized as too complicated and susceptible to abuse.

ULA Wants to Make Its Rocket ‘Lethal’ to Defend U.S. Assets in Space
December 28, 2024
The 200-foot Vulcan Centaur rocket could do more than just launch satellites to orbit.
As the rocket awaits certification to launch military payloads, United Launch Alliance (ULA) suggests that Vulcan can also be used to ward off space enemies and protect U.S. assets in orbit.
During the Spacepower Conference held earlier this month, ULA CEO Tory Bruno revealed that he had alternative plans for the heavy-lift launch vehicle, SpaceNews reported.
Bruno’s suggestion includes utilizing the rocket’s upper stage as a “space interceptor” to thwart attacks against the U.S. Space Force’s assets in space.
“Our vision is the ability to have a platform that is lightning fast, long range, and, if necessary, very lethal,” he said during the conference. “What I’ve been working on is essentially a rocket that operates in space.”
Well, that’s certainly an idea. The 202-foot-tall (61.6-meter) Vulcan Centaur is an expendable heavy-lift launch vehicle that was first conceived in 2006.
The rocket borrows design elements from both ULA’s Atlas V and Delta IV rockets, and finally made its debut on January 8, launching Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander toward the Moon.
The rocket’s inaugural flight was originally scheduled to take place in 2019, but Vulcan faced several challenges and hiccups that delayed its big day.
Vulcan Centaur is crucial to the commercial space industry as well as U.S. national security. With its Vulcan rocket, ULA is hoping to compete with industry favorite SpaceX.
The U.S. military has grown more dependent on SpaceX to launch its payload to orbit, a market share that used to be dominated by ULA.
However, Vulcan is not yet ready to launch military payloads. The rocket carried out its second certification flight in October, but ULA’s marquee flight vehicle hit a snag.
Following a nominal liftoff, the rocket experienced an issue about 35 seconds after launch, when a plume of material suddenly appeared to be coming off one of its two boosters.
The main purpose of the Cert-2 mission was for the U.S. Space Force to certify Vulcan for national security missions, with the rocket slated to carry two U.S. military payloads to orbit this year.
The not-so-ideal flight has delayed the rocket’s certification process.
Bruno’s recent suggestion to turn the rocket into a space superhero may be an act of desperation as ULA continues to fall behind its main competitor, SpaceX.
During the conference, the ULA CEO suggested that Vulcan’s upper stage could be upgraded to serve as a long-endurance vehicle that operates in space and respond rapidly to incoming threats.
“We know that the Chinese are going to come after us in space,” Bruno said, according to SpaceNews.
“If we watch an attack developing where a Chinese asset is spending a few days or a week approaching something we care about, we have something we can move there in a few hours and interrupt that attack before it starts.”
Mentioning China’s increasing capabilities in space is one way to get folks behind your plan.
Still, Bruno’s remarks reflect a larger concern shared by both national and commercial spaceflight players: that space is headed toward a militarized future where orbital warfare may be inevitable.

Organic molecules found throughout the universe hint that life began in deep space
12-28-2024
The universe is packed with intricate, carbon-based compounds, including organic molecules, that hold clues about life’s raw materials. Some of these compounds are found in space.
Over the past few years, robotic missions have taken samples from comets and asteroids to learn how these compounds formed and whether our planet might owe its biological chemistry to faraway dust clouds.
The findings hint that organic molecules appear in every corner of space, which suggests that our own evolution may fit into a larger cosmic narrative.
Organic molecules in space
Scientists studying bits of interstellar dust, comets, and asteroids keep finding the same theme: these objects contain a variety of organic molecules.
The story began in 1986 when the European Giotto spacecraft conducted the first in-situ analysis of a comet, 1P/Halley, during its apparition (when it was visible from Earth).
It revealed an unexpected abundance of organic species in the coma, but their exact origins — whether from polymeric matter or smaller molecules — remained unclear.
The small spacecraft followed the comet for two years, capturing the dust and gas it shed. Instruments recorded dozens of molecules that contained carbon, leading scientists to look deeper for connections to the early solar system.
Past records of organic molecules in space
The Rosetta spacecraft was the first to orbit and land on a comet, namely 67P. In 2015, it detected simple organic compounds, including glycine, which is a building block of proteins. This discovery marked the first direct detection of this molecule on a comet.
By 2022, researchers analyzing high-resolution mass spectrometry data identified 44 organic compounds in just one day’s worth of Rosetta data, with some molecules weighing up to 140 Daltons (Da).
“Rosetta really changed the view,” said Dr. Nora Hänni, a chemist at the University of Bern. Soon after this, her team identified dimethyl sulfide, a gas that, on Earth, is generally produced by living organisms.
Asteroids as cosmic sample returns
Japan’s Hayabusa2 and NASA’s OSIRIS-REx missions offered a similar look at ancient space rocks. They scooped material from asteroids Ryugu and Bennu and brought the samples back to Earth.
Early analyses suggested that both asteroids have a wide range of organics present. Scientists studying Ryugu found at least 20,000 varieties of carbon-based compounds, including 15 different amino acids.
“It’s just everything possible from which life could emerge,” said Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin, an organic geoscientist at the Technical University of Munich.
Questions about planetary origins
Those organic-rich rocks may date back to a time before planets fully formed. Scientists wonder if these compounds started in cold, dark clouds between stars, or if they originated in energetic zones near young suns.
“Those of us interested in searching for life have to understand how planets could acquire organics in the absence of life,” said Christopher Glein, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute.
Many experts ask whether the early Earth became habitable partly because of organic molecules that arrived from space.
“I would like to know where we come from as a planetary species,” said Karin Öberg, an astrochemist at Harvard University.
Early chemistry across the cosmos
Astronomers have traced certain hefty carbon structures called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) back to about 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang.
Carbon atoms often form large, sturdy rings and chains in the outflows of dying stars.
“It’s actually not too different from combustion as we understand it here on Earth,” said Öberg, referring to the ways these molecules can build up in stellar winds.
Observations confirm that interstellar space has more than 200 carbon-containing compounds.

Anything can be abused.
H-1-B has rules
Fact Sheet #62O: Must an H-1B employer recruit U.S. workers before seeking H-1B workers?
July 2009
This fact sheet provides general information concerning recruitment required for use of the H-1B program.
The H-1B employer is not required to recruit U.S. workers, unless it is H-1B dependent (see WH Fact Sheet #62C), a previous willful violator of H-1B requirements (see WH Fact Sheet #62S), or an employer receiving funding described in the Employ American Workers Act (EAWA) which hires a new H-1B worker during the period Feb. 17, 2009 through Feb. 16, 2011, (see WH Fact Sheet #62Z).
Such employers must take good faith steps to recruit U.S. workers for any job for which they seek H-1B workers.

Now look at Mar A Lago
What is the H1B Approval Rate for The Mar A Lago Club ?
The Mar A Lago Club filed 0 LCAs in fiscal year 2024, of which 0 were approved and 0 were denied. Also, The Mar A Lago Club filed 0 with USCIS and 0 were approved and 0 were denied. The H1B LCA Approval rate ≈N/A%. The USCIS H1B petitions approval rate ≈ N/A%
Does The Mar A Lago Club Sponsor H1B Visa?
Yes, The Mar A Lago Club sponsors H1B Visa. The above sections on this page show the complete H1B Sponsorship data for The Mar A Lago Club. They filed a total of 0 LCAs in fiscal year 2024 with US Department of Labor.

Trump Posts Bizarre Truth Social Message Allegedly Directed at Elon Musk — Claims Bill Gates Requested Mar-a-Lago Meeting
President-elect Donald Trump dropped a cryptic message on Truth Social Friday, claiming Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had requested to visit Mar-a-Lago while seemingly directing a personal message to Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
“Where are you? When are you coming to the “Center of the Universe,” Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT,” the post read.
The cryptic note has left pundits and the public wondering: Was this message intended for tech billionaire Elon Musk? The phrase “We miss you and x!” appears to be a direct nod to Musk and his son named X Æ A-Xii.
Far-left CNN reported:
Gates has reached out to the Trump transition about a possible meeting with Trump, a person familiar with the talks told CNN, but as of now it’s unclear whether the two will meet. Trump has met with several tech CEOs and business leaders at his home since winning November’s election. CNN has reached out to Gates for comment.
The message appears to include a reference to Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, whom Musk colloquially refers to as X. The post comes as Musk, whom Trump named as co-leader of his government efficiency initiative, has drawn fresh criticism from loyal Trump supporters over his support of the visa program that allows highly skilled foreign workers to immigrate to the US.
Trump and Gates first met in December 2016 as Trump was preparing to take office for the first time.
Since Trump’s election victory last month, a number of tech CEOs have either spoken with Trump or visited him in Mar-a-Lago in an attempt to curry favor with the president-elect. Several Fortune 500 companies and other corporate interests have committed millions to his inauguration as well.
The CEOs who have met with Trump have come in with a clear strategy, people familiar with the meetings have previously told CNN. That includes discussing issues they know Trump will like — such as bringing manufacturing and jobs back to the US — while also sneaking in potential policy concerns they have with his new administration. Many of these CEOs are seeking the meetings as an opportunity to “start on the right page,” a source familiar with the matter previously told CNN.
Social media users were far from pleased with the news.
Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck wrote, “Bill Gates should be in a prison cell, not inside Mar-a-Lago. He’s not there to kiss the ring. Gates is there to lie and manipulate. What he did during COVID should result in him being seen in the same light as war criminals & thugs. He chose the far left, let him rot with them.”

CDC can't substantiate COVID vaccine ingredient claims, FDA forced to turn over Pfizer data
Federal public health agencies are known for black-and-white public service announcements that portray their favorite COVID-19 treatments as universally beneficial without providing supporting data, particularly the effectiveness of each new vaccine formulation.
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner-nominee Marty Makary once accused the current officeholder, Robert Califf, of wildly exaggerating data in claiming that since-rescinded bivalent vaccines, which targeted two COVID strains, showed a "significant reduction in hospitalization and death in all populations examined, which is clinically meaningful."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which similarly claims COVID vaccines are safer than infections for all populations, has now been caught empty-handed when asked for data to support its claim, on the same "myths and facts" page, that "nearly all the ingredients" in the therapeutics are found "in many foods – fats, sugars, and salts."
The Informed Consent Action Network and Mississippi Medical Professionals for Informed Consent filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all documents including "studies, journal articles, manufacturer data, etc." that are "sufficient to show the foods that contain the same ingredients as those found in the COVID19 vaccines" to verify the CDC's claim.
They also asked for data on foods that contain the ingredients listed in the vaccine inserts, in another five FOIA requests: "recombinant spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus … nucleoside-modified messenger RNA …extracts from the soapbark tree" and exotic-sounding chemicals such as "methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside," and evidence that the body responds the same to an ingredient whether eaten or injected.
The CDC's response to the broadest request? Its National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases does not have "any documents pertaining to your request."
The FOIA officer told the entities to ask the FDA for the data because "the subject matter expert notes that ingredients in specific vaccines fall under the responsibility of the FDA," and also told them how to appeal the agency's response up the FOIA command chain.
"Typically, if one agency points us to another, ICAN will have us submit the same requests to that other agency although here, ICAN was questioning the evidence justifying a statement on CDC’s own website so it’s unclear why CDC would have no records yet FDA would have them," ICAN's lawyer Elizabeth Brehm told Just the News in an email.
She shared the agency's responses to all six FOIAs, which gave the same no-records response but also cited various CDC and FDA pages, including kinds of vaccine ingredients and examples, such as the stabilizer gelatin and "residual inactivating ingredient" formaldehyde, and a long explanation of why certain ingredients are in vaccines.

No Records Found - Segment 1.pdf
"CDC’s approach to truth and data is a joke," Brehm's colleague Aaron Siri, who leads the effort, wrote on X. ICAN alleged the agency's shrugging response shows it's violating the Information Quality Act by not being able to "substantiate the quality of the information it has disseminated."
The CDC didn't respond to Just the News queries.
The agency's inability to back up its public messaging comes as the feds continue hiding safety data, healthcare workers worldwide express hesitancy toward COVID vaccines and some state public health agencies ditch one-size-fits-all recommendations.
Another FOIA filer beat the FDA this month, with a federal judge ordering the agency to produce its emergency use authorization file on the Pfizer COVID vaccine by June 30, 2025.
The FDA argued the EUA file isn't covered by Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency's FOIA request for the "biological product file" in the formal application for licensing, but U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman quoted its own press release on the vaccine's formal approval, which said it used and builds on the EUA's data.
The Biden administration pulled out all the stops to delay the release of the FDA's COVID vaccine safety data that are kept apart from the public Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, in response to Just the News litigation.
The docket shows the feds secured a stay of the proceedings before Donald Trump's election victory. The case is scheduled to resume five months into the second Trump administration.
ICAN recently launched a dashboard for searching the "free-text" entries from the CDC's v-safe surveys for the earliest COVID vaccine recipients, which the feds unsuccessfully fought to withhold for a year after turning over the "checkbox" answers from v-safe.

Texas Attorney General Paxton Stops Biden’s Attempt to Get Rid of Border Wall Materials Before Trump Returns to Office
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/texas-attorney-general-paxton-stops-bidens-attempt-get/
Paxton’s office announced the court order in a press release on Friday.
According to Paxton, border wall segments have already been auctioned off for “pennies on the dollar.”
“The Biden Administration confirmed to the court today that it will agree to an order preventing the outgoing administration from disposing of any further border wall materials over the next 30 days—allowing President Trump to use those materials as he sees fit,” the press release explained. “This will be adopted as an order of the court, making it enforceable if any violations occur.”
“Additionally, the court stated that Texas is entitled to documentation proving that the Biden Administration has not violated an injunction secured by Attorney General Paxton in May of 2024 that required the Biden Administration to spend statutorily obligated funds on border wall construction after the federal government attempted to illegally redirect the money. If it is shown that the Biden Administration disposed of border wall materials purchased with funds subject to that injunction in violation of a court order—or that the Department of Justice made misrepresentations regarding the border materials that have been auctioned off—this would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct, and the responsible parties could be held in contempt of court.”
“We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” said Attorney General Paxton.
“This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda.”

@realDonaldTrump
BREAKING: In a major, crucial WIN for America, and our National Security, a Federal Judge in Texas, based on papers we filed just a few days ago, has PROHIBITED the Biden Administration from selling any materials designated for the Border Wall, that has been wrecked by Biden and his cronies, and which I am going to rebuild in order to protect our Country from violent migrant crime, fentanyl smuggling, sex trafficking, terror attacks, and other heinous, Nation ending disasters. The Judge has also ordered an investigation into the illegal selling of the materials, which will expose just how corrupt and anti-American Radical Democrats are. I am honored to be joined in this vital case by the Great States of Texas and Missouri, and applaud Judge Drew Tipton for doing the right thing for our Country. We have to protect our Borders, and Save America. MAGA!

Kessler syndrome: How crowded satellite orbits could lead to a runaway space debris problem
6:52 PM, Dec 27, 2024
As the number of satellites in Earth orbit increases, so too does the risk from space debris — and some experts warn certain orbits could already be getting dangerously crowded.
The mass of debris in Earth orbit totals nearly 7 million kilograms, and it ranges from obsolete satellites to tiny flecks of paint.
More than 27,000 pieces of space junk are currently being tracked by the U.S. Department of Defense’s global Space Surveillance Network sensors.
Other pieces are too small to detect, but still present dangers to spacecraft due to their high velocities.
Much of the debris will eventually re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up, that process can take years. While it remains in space, it creates new problems and poses risks to space missions and astronauts.
The more collisions there are, the more debris is created, and then that junk can cause even more crashes. The problem can keep compounding.
The phenomenon is known as Kessler syndrome, named after retired NASA engineer Don Kessler, who first proposed it mechanisms in 1978.
At its most extreme, Kessler syndrome may reach a self-perpetuating threshold that could render entire orbits unusable due to debris.
According to NASA, some experts believe low Earth orbit is already pushing the limits that could lead to this runaway reaction.
The risks of debris and cascading crashes could continue to rise as companies like SpaceX and Amazon push forward with orbital projects that call for large numbers of satellites.
Amazon's Kuiper internet project, for example, could eventually include more than 3,000 satellites, while SpaceX's Starlink system already has more than 7,000 satellites in orbit and could eventually field more than 30,000.
It some cases, though, new satellites like those used with Starlink are designed to quickly fall into the atmosphere at the end of their useful life instead of lingering in orbits where they could become part of the debris problem.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn Rocket Completes Integrated Launch Vehicle Hotfire
Dec 27, 2024
New Glenn successfully completed an integrated launch vehicle hotfire test today, the final major milestone on our road to first flight.
NG-1 will carry a Blue Ring Pathfinder as its first manifested payload and will launch from Launch Complex 36 in Cape Canaveral, FL.
The seven-engine hotfire lasted 24 seconds and marked the first time we operated the entire flight vehicle as an integrated system.
The multi-day test campaign leading up to the hotfire included numerous inert functional and tanking tests.
The integrated launch vehicle included the first and second stages of the NG-1 flight vehicle, and a payload test article comprised of manufacturing test demonstrator fairings, a high-capacity fixed adapter flight unit, and a 45,000 lb payload mass simulator.
One of the primary goals of the test campaign was to demonstrate day-of-launch operations in our NG-1 test configuration.
Additionally, the team conducted several tests to validate vehicle and ground systems in the fully integrated, on-pad configuration.
This data will be utilized to finalize day-of-launch timelines, confirm expected performance, and correlate our models to real-world test data.
“This is a monumental milestone and a glimpse of what’s just around the corner for New Glenn’s first launch,” said Jarrett Jones, SVP, New Glenn.
“Today’s success proves that our rigorous approach to testing–combined with our incredible tooling and design engineering–is working as intended.”
The tanking test included a full run-through of the terminal count sequence, testing the hand-off authority to and from the flight computer, and collecting fluid validation data.
The first stage (GS1) tanks were filled and pressed with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LOX), and the second stage (GS2) with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen–both to representative NG-1 set points.
The formal NG-1 Wet Dress Rehearsal demonstrated the final launch procedures leading into the hotfire engine run.
All seven engines performed nominally, firing for 24 seconds, including at 100% thrust for 13 seconds.
The test also demonstrated New Glenn’s autogenous pressurization system, which self-generates gases to pressurize GS1’s propellant tanks.
This test campaign captured a number of firsts for the New Glenn launch system, including the first seven-engine operations, the first integrated GS1-GS2 tanking demonstration, the first LNG/LOX fill for GS1, as well as first chilled helium operations for GS2.
The campaign met all objectives and marks the final major test prior to launch.
Blue Origin has several New Glenn vehicles in production and a full customer manifest. Customers include NASA, Amazon's Project Kuiper, AST SpaceMobile, several telecommunications providers, and a mix of U.S. government customers.
Blue Origin is certifying New Glenn with the U.S. Space Force for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program to meet emerging national security objectives.
About New Glenn
New Glenn stands more than 320 feet (98 meters) high and features a seven-meter payload fairing, enabling twice the volume of standard five-meter class commercial launch systems.
Its reusable first stage aims for a minimum of 25 missions and will land on Jacklyn, a sea-based platform located several hundred miles downrange. Reusability is integral to radically reducing cost-per-launch.
The vehicle is powered by seven of Blue Origin’s BE-4 engines, the most powerful liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled, oxygen-rich staged combustion engine ever flown.
LNG is cleaner-burning and higher-performing than kerosene-based fuels, and the seven BE-4s generate over 3.8 million lbf of thrust.
The vehicle’s second stage is powered by two BE-3Us, liquid oxygen (LOX)/liquid hydrogen (LH2) engines designed to together yield over 320,000 lbf of vacuum thrust.
In addition to the BE-4 and BE-3U, Blue Origin manufactures BE-7 engines for our Blue Moon lunar landers and New Shepard’s BE-3PM engine.

China's new radio telescopes put into use for deep space exploration
09:23, 28-Dec-2024
Two radio telescopes with 40-meter-diameter antennas, one located in northeast and the other in southwest China, were put into use on Friday.
These telescopes will aid in exploring deep space and unraveling cosmic mysteries.
The two telescopes were built by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in the Changbai Mountain area in northeast China's Jilin Province and in Shigatse in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region respectively.
Following the deployment of the two new telescopes, the Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) network in China now includes one control center in Shanghai and six stations: two in Shanghai and one in each of Urumqi, Kunming, Changbai Mountain and Shigatse, according to SHAO.
VLBI is a radio interferometry technology that can be used to obtain fine radio images and precise positions of cosmic objects.
Additionally, it is capable of achieving high-precision positioning for deep space probes. Unlike conventional techniques, the VLBI technique can combine signals received at different telescopes for joint processing.
In other words, it is a "virtual telescope" with a size equal to the maximum separation between the telescopes, scientists explained.
With the two new telescopes, the longest baseline of China's VLBI network, or the "effective aperture of the virtual telescope" has been extended from approximately 3,200 kilometers to about 3,800 kilometers, said Shen Zhiqiang, head of SHAO.
As a result, the observable sky area of the upgraded VLBI network in China could be expanded by 25 percent, and the angular resolution in the X-band could be improved by 18 percent, according to Shen.
China's VLBI network has supported lunar exploration missions from Chang'e-1 to Chang'e-6 and the Mars mission Tianwen-1, providing high-precision measurement information about the orbits and position of the spacecraft.
Such a Chinese VLBI network with six stations will allow simultaneous measurement and flexible tracking of multiple targets in different celestial regions, providing stronger support for lunar and deep-space exploration missions in the future, Shen said.
At the launch ceremony for the two telescopes on Friday, Ding Chibiao, vice president of CAS, emphasized the crucial role of major sci-tech infrastructure in supporting innovation, and called for promoting openness and sharing of sci-tech facilities.
Ye Shuhua, an academician of CAS, said the two new telescopes will play an important role in future lunar exploration, as well as deep space missions to explore asteroids, Mars, Jupiter and other celestial bodies.
The construction of the two telescopes, which started in September 2023, has featured great challenges.
One telescope was built at an altitude of 4,100 meters, while the other was located in the frigid region where winter temperatures can drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius, according to Shen.
The two telescopes will enhance China's capability in radio astronomy research and promote cutting-edge astronomical studies such as supermassive black holes, compact astrophysical objects with rapid variability, electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves and galactic dynamics, Shen added.

Meet the new members: A Californian returns to Capitol Hill
He previously won a swing California House seat in 2018, but lost reelection to Rep. Young Kim.
Anthony Adragna
ANTHONY ADRAGNA
12/27/2024, 12:54PM ET
The new member:Rep.-elect Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.)
How they got here:Cisneros reclaimed a seat in the House after defeating Republican Daniel Martinez, 57 percent to 43 percent.
Inside the campaign:Cisneros switched districts upon the retirement of longtime 88-year-old Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.). He emerged first in a crowded all-party primary with 23.6 percent of the vote.
He previously won a swing California House seat in 2018, but lost reelection to Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.).
The issues he’ll focus on:The former congressman said he’ll focus on “gun safety reform, educational opportunities, climate action, and women's rights” upon his return to Congress.
He vowed to fight to reduce the cost of living, promote additional housing construction in California and expand access to mental health resources.
Background:Cisneros got his start in electoral politics after becoming a philanthropist following a 2010 Mega Millions jackpot win worth $266 million. He prevailed in the 2018 Democratic wave, besting Young Kim by a narrow margin. He lost a 2020 rematch to Kim, in which she won the House seat she still holds to this day.
President Joe Biden then tapped Cisneros to be undersecretary of Defense for personnel and readiness, a post he held from 2021 until 2023, when he stepped aside to mount another bid for Congress.
Campaign ad that caught our eye:Cisneros highlighted his lottery win in an ad as motivation to help children attend college — and why he’s not accepting special interest money in his campaign.
Fun fact:Cisneros and his wife put $1 million of their lottery winnings toward helping George Washington University students.
Fun fact:California always cheat, so that's why Democrats win in a majority Red state, but Politico will never mention, because they are election deniers and cheaters.
(Plus they let CA some Republicans win, mostly the corrupt ones, so it seems not as corrupt as they've been, since Shwartzeneger won the Governor seat, they couldn't let that happen again.)

Attorney General Ken Paxton Blocks Biden Administration from Disposing of Wall Materials Before President Trump Takes Office
December 27, 2024 | Press Release
Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a victory for President-elect Donald Trump’s border-security agenda during a hearing today before a federal judge. The hearing was called at Attorney General Paxton’s request to uncover potential legal violations committed by the Biden Administration after recent reports that segments of the border wall were auctioned off for pennies on the dollar.
The Biden Administration confirmed to the court today that it will agree to an order preventing the outgoing administration from disposing of any further border wall materials over the next 30 days—allowing President Trump to use those materials as he sees fit. This will be adopted as an order of the court, making it enforceable if any violations occur.
Additionally, the court stated that Texas is entitled to documentation proving that the Biden Administration has not violated an injunction secured by Attorney General Paxton in May of 2024 that required the Biden Administration to spend statutorily obligated funds on border wall construction after the federal government attempted to illegally redirect the money. If it is shown that the Biden Administration disposed of border wall materials purchased with funds subject to that injunction in violation of a court order—or that the Department of Justice made misrepresentations regarding the border materials that have been auctioned off—this would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct, and the responsible parties could be held in contempt of court.
“We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda.”

Air Force Accessions Center early wins pave the way for FY25 success
Dec. 27, 2024
Within the first week of declaring Initial Operational Capability, personnel at the Air Force Accessions Center demonstrated their ability to adapt quickly to evolving accession requirements, resulting in dozens of highly qualified cadets being notified of a pilot career field selection.
These additions came after Headquarters Air Force Manpower, Personnel and Services directed a mid-year production increase of over 200 officers both rated and non-rated for fiscal 2025.
The AFAC was able to execute a smart solution quickly, which was key to maintaining the overall officer accession requirement for fiscal 2025.
This achievement was made possible by the successful merger of the Air Force Recruiting Service and Holm Center at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, Dec. 2, which allowed the AFRS and Reserve Officer Training Corps to bypass traditional bureaucratic hurdles.
AFRS and the Holm Center worked together to reallocate pilot Air Force Specialty Codes to cadets who had previously been unable to secure a pilot position due to limited availability.
With the new organization, AFAC was able to provide increased slots to awaiting ROTC cadets, while also adding additional slots to a just completed Officer Training School rated board.
According to Brig. Gen. Chris Amrhein, AFAC commander, “The early successes of the Air Force Accessions Center are a testament to our commitment to building a more agile and ready force.
In its first weeks of operations, we have the ability to move with unprecedented agility and provide rapid response to dynamic mission requirements.”
“It’s exciting that our new organization’s flexibility was able to quickly fulfill the dreams of these 50 candidates," he added.
“Additionally, this will also assist 19th Air Force in delivering these new lieutenants into pilot production as early as June.”
Within the same week, AFAC graduated the first Warrant Officer Training School class at Maxwell AFB, Dec. 6, celebrating a major milestone in the Air Force's vision to reoptimize for Great Power Competition.
The new warrant officers’ ability to integrate advanced technical solutions into operational planning strengthens the Air Force’s strategic edge in future conflicts at a critical time for national defense.
As the first quarter of the fiscal year ends, AFAC's mission execution remains on an upward trajectory.
The Air Force and Space Force have thus far exceeded its enlisted accession goals, with the active-duty Air Force filling jobs into March 2025.
“By expanding our programs and embracing innovative approaches to recruitment and accessions training, we're ensuring the Air and Space Forces are prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow,” Amrhein said.
These initiatives reflect AFAC’s proactive response to meet rising demands and build a stronger, more capable force.
As the organization charges forward into 2025, its focus remains clear: preparing future leaders, embracing innovation and adapting to ensure mission success across the Department of the Air Force.

Putin apologises over plane crash, without saying Russia at fault
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has apologised to the president of neighbouring Azerbaijan over the downing of a commercial airliner in Russian airspace, in which 38 people were killed - but stopped short of saying Russia was responsible.
In his first comments on the Christmas Day crash, Putin said the "tragic incident" had occurred when Russian air defence systems were repelling Ukrainian drones.
Ukraine's President Volodymr Zelensky said Russia must "stop spreading disinformation" about the strike.
The plane is believed to have come under fire from Russian air defence as it tried to land in the Russian region of Chechnya - forcing it to divert across the Caspian Sea.
The Azerbaijan Airlines jet then crash-landed near Aktau in Kazakhstan, killing 38 of the 67 on board.
Most of the passengers on the flight were from Azerbaijan, with others from Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
It is believed most of those who survived were seated in the plane's rear.
Flight J2-8243 had been en route from the Azerbaijan capital of Baku to the Chechen capital of Grozny on 25 December when it came under fire and was forced to divert.
The Kremlin released a statement on Saturday noting Putin had spoken to Azerbaijan's president Ilham Aliyev by phone.
"(President) Vladimir Putin apologised that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace and once again expressed his deep and sincere condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the injured," it said.
In the rare publicised apology, Putin also acknowledged the plane had repeatedly tried to land at Grozny airport in Chechnya.
At the time, the cities of Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were "being attacked by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, and Russian air defence systems repelled these attacks", he said.
The Kremlin read-out made no direct admission that the plane had been struck by Russian missiles.

Homelessness in the U.S. Hits Highest Level on Record as Billions of Dollars Are Sent to Foreign Nations
by Cassandra MacDonald Dec. 27, 2024
Homelessness in the United States has hit the highest level ever recorded as billions of taxpayer dollars are repeatedly shipped to foreign nations.
Despite these problems at home, the United States has sent a total of $106 billion in aid to Ukraine and about $310 billion in total economic and military assistance to Israel since its founding.
The 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was released on Friday and revealed the shocking number of homeless Americans.
“The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) tallied more than 770,000 people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2024, an 18 percent increase from 2023 that is likely an undercount,” The Hill reports.
The number of families with children experiencing homelessness also jumped 39 percent — meaning 150,000 children are out on the streets.
“Veterans were the only population where homelessness continued to decline, down 8 percent from 2023. The number of veterans experiencing homelessness has fallen 55 percent since HUD started collecting data on veteran homelessness in 2009,” the report noted.
HUD Acting Secretary Adrianne Todman released a statement about the surprising figures, saying, “No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve.”
“We at HUD deeply appreciate the work of our continuums of care and other community partners to end homelessness, especially given the challenges of 2023,” said Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. “You are critical to the success of HUD’s mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.”

Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk: ‘I have many H-1B visas on my properties’
Dec. 28, 2024, 1:56 p.m
President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue.
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.
Musk and other tech barons argued this week that the H-1B visa program is critical to ensuring American companies can find highly skilled labor which may not be easily available in the U.S. labor force and must be expanded.
MAGA hardliners want Trump to follow through with his promise to promote US workers and impose tougher restrictions on immigration.
Trump’s Saturday comments come a day after Musk vowed to go to “war” on the issue, telling one mocking opponent to go “f–k yourself.”
The flare-up happened after X user Steven Mackey jabbed the billionaire’s defense of the program by using the billionaire’s own words against him.
“Stop trying to optimize something that shouldn’t exist,” a line often used by Musk, Mackey wrote. “Let’s optimize H-1B,” he sarcastically added.
Musk fired back: “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”
“Take a big step back and F–K YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,” he added, paragraphing a memorable line from the 2008 comedy “Tropic Thunder.”
The tech billionaire has been criticized by MAGA diehards including Laura Loomer and Ann Coulter — who say the H-1B visa program has been abused and needs to be sharply curtailed.
And influential voices around Trump have publicly begun turning on Musk as well.
“Someone please notify ‘Child Protective Services’— need to do a ‘wellness check’ on this toddler,” former White House Counselor Steve Bannon jeered at the X boss in a Saturday post to his account on Gettr.
Musk said his passion for the issue stemmed from wanting America to remain competitive by attracting “the top ~0.1% of engineering talent” which he said was essential for “America to keep winning.”
What do you think? Post a comment.
Vivek Ramaswamy, who is slated to run the Department of Government Efficiency with Musk, backed Musk and offered a critique of American society.
“American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence,” Ramaswamy wrote on X.

Costco board decries effort to end its
DEI programs
Scripps News, by Justin Boggs
Posted By: OhioNick, 12/28/2024 3:40:03 PM
As many companies are cutting back or ending diversity initiatives, Costco's Board of Trustees is pushing back on efforts to end the company's DEI programs. The Board urged its shareholders to vote against a proposal submitted by the National Center for Public Policy Research that called on Costco to eliminate DEI programs. The group claims that DEI programs are discriminatory and put the company at financial risk. "It's clear that DEI holds litigation, reputational and financial risks to the Company, and therefore financial risks to shareholders," the National Center for Public Policy Research wrote in its letter of support.

Paul Bamba, who broke a Mike Tyson record that stood for 38 years, dies six days after 14th fight of 2024
By Austin Nivison
5 hrs ago
•
Boxer Paul Bamba has died at the age of 35 just days after winning the WBA gold cruiserweight title. Bamba's manager, Grammy Award winner Ne-Yo, announced the fighter's death on social media.
On Dec. 21, Bamba knocked out Rogelio Medina in New Jersey for his 14th consecutive stoppage win in the span of 12 months. In the process, Bamba broke Mike Tyson's record for most professional fights in a one-year span.
Less than one week later, Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, issued a statementannouncing that Bamba had died at just 35 years old.
"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of beloved son, brother, friend and boxing champion Paul Bamba, whose light and love touched countless lives," Ne-Yo wrote in a statement.
"He was a fierce yet confident competitor with an unrelenting ambition to achieve greatness. But more than anything, he was a tremendous individual that inspired many with his exceptional drive and determination.
"We are heartbroken by his passing and kindly ask for privacy and understanding during this difficult time as we collectively navigate our grief."
Following his cruiserweight title win over Medina, Bamba was immediately eyeing his next fight. Speaking with Bloody Elbow, Bamba called out Jake Paul, saying he was the influencer-turned-boxer's quickest shot at a real title bet.
"Jake talks a lot about wanting to be a world champion so my simple message to him is that I have something that you want; a real title," Bamba said.
In the wake of Bamba's passing, Paul posted on social media, "RIP Paul Bamba."
Bamba, a Puerto Rican and Marine Corps veteran, fought his way up the boxing ranks after turning pro in January 2021. Bamba's win over Medina gave him a career record of 19-3.

Spy equipment found on Russian “shadow fleet” tanker detained in Finland after undersea cable damage
The Insider
28 December 2024 10:56
Spy equipment used for monitoring NATO naval and aircraft activities was reportedly discovered on the tanker Eagle S, according to a reportby the British shipping journal Lloyd's List, citing a source with direct involvement with the vessel. The ship, suspected of having ties to Russia, was recently detained by Finnish authorities.
According to the source, the sophisticated equipment aboard the Eagle S was abnormal for a commercial vessel,as it consumed significant amounts of power from the ship’s generator, causing frequent power outages.
Similar equipment was reportedly found on another tanker, the Honduras-flagged Swiftsea Rider, which is owned by the same group as the Cook Islands-flagged Eagle S. The Swiftsea Rider is under UK sanctions.
According to Lloyd's List, both ships are part of Russia's “shadow fleet” — a network of tankers tied to Russiathrough opaque ownership structures and engaged in activities that violate Western sanctions.
The source claimed that surveillance and recording equipment were brought aboard the Eagle S in “huge portable suitcases,” along with “many laptops” that had Turkish and Russian keyboards, during port calls in Russia and Turkey. A non-crew member was also reportedly present on the ship during its voyage.
Finnish Coast Guard officials boarded the Eagle S as part of an investigation into potential sabotage related to the Dec. 25 damage to the Estlink 2 energy cable. The cable, which lies on the Baltic Sea floor, connects Finland and Estonia. Finnish police allege that the tanker slowed down and dragged its anchor around the cable, causing the damage. The following day, three additional undersea cables linking Finland and Estonia were also reported damaged.
An anonymous source shared over 60 confidential documents about the Eagle S with Lloyd’s List in June, including a vetting report detailing numerous safety violations identified during an inspection conducted while the tanker was anchored in Danish waters that same month.

The Minnesota DFL is out of control.
Beginning Jan 1, 2025, the Minnesota DFL banned items including ATVs, powersports vehicles, cookware, carpets, cosmetics, gear designed for children under 12, which can rely on PFAS for features such as waterproofing and heat resistance, and more.
“The kids want to ride them, not lick them,” said David Glassman, president of Tousley Motorsports, a Twin Cities area powersports and marine dealer. The dealership recently announced on its Facebook page that it is selling its in-stock, soon-to-be-banned models such as the Honda CRF50, CRF110, and TRX90, along with parts and accessories (notice that Polaris equipment isn't on the list since they're made in Minnesota).
Opponents of the ban as it is written warn that it could lead to unintended safety risks. They say eliminating youth-sized dirt bikes and ATVs may push families toward larger, adult-sized machines that are unsafe for children.
“If we can’t sell youth-sized products, parents will just buy the next size up,” Glassman stated.

Former Freedom Caucus chair on Johnson: ‘I'm going to keep my options open’
Scott Perry’s remarks come after current HFC Chair Andy Harris said he was “undecided” on who should be speaker.
Katherine Tully-McManus

Rep. Scott Perry said Thursday that he’s not committing to voting for Mike Johnson for speaker, adding a former Freedom Caucus chair to the conservative crowd sowing doubt over Johnson’s prospects to retake the gavel.
“I think that Mike has done an admirable job under tough conditions, but I'm going to keep my options open,” Perry (R-Pa.) said Friday morning on Fox Business. “I want to have a conversation with Mike.”
Perry’s comments come after current HFC Chair Andy Harris (R-Md.) said Thursday that Republicans need to consider if current leadership “is what we need” going into unified GOP government next year, adding that he is “undecided” on who should be in House leadership come January.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the first Republican to promise that he’ll vote against Johnson for speaker, pledging to vote for someone else. But Harris, Perry and Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) all publicly voicing indecision could spell trouble for Johnson.
The House will vote to elect a speaker on Jan. 3, just one week from Friday, and with Republicans’ razor-thin margin, any defections could put Johnson’s speakership in jeopardy. Republicans are expected to have a 219-215 majority on Jan. 3, and Johnson can only afford to have one Republican vote against him.
The speaker is taking heat from his conference’s right flank over his handling of the stopgap funding bill to keep the government funded until mid-March. There is specific dissatisfaction over federal spending and lack of offsets.
There is one voice that Perry says could end speculation and indecision over the speakership: President-elect Donald Trump.
“We’ve just got to make sure that we get the best person for the job under the circumstances,” Perry said. “And I'll tell you the one that might be able to make the difference is, quite honestly, President Trump. Whoever the president backs is likely to be the speaker, regardless.”
And Perry added his top priority is ensuring that Congress can deliver on the incoming Trump administration’s agenda.
“These members are signaling that they don't know that they have the confidence in Mike to be able to do that based on past performance,” said Perry.

Even though he should be replaced, they have too small of a margin to make a difference. And he's somewhat trained to hit the floor running when Trump gets in the 20th. They waited too long to do this. The only one that would be a possible would be Massie, he's at least 30% smarter than most of them.

Bill Maher Confronts Jay Leno With Gambling Debt Rumors
Matt Wilstein
Fri, December 27, 2024 at 4:52 PM EST
Bill Maher confronted Jay Leno, 74, with a “conspiracy theory” that the former Tonight Showhost’s spate of accidents in recent years were the result of a gambling addiction gone wrong.
“It’s a conspiracy theory since you’ve had three accidents that you actually have gambling debts and are being beaten up by the mob,” Maher told Leno, who laughed off the suggestion as he appeared on the Club Random podcast.
“I love the idea that the mob would drive to Greenberg, Pennsylvania, wait outside the Hampton Inn on a kind of sleety, rainy day to throw me down a hill,” Leno joked, referring to the most recent accident—which left him with a bruised face and sporting an eyepatch after he says he rolled down a steep hill and hit his eye on a rock.
Before that, Leno suffered multiple injuries related to maintaining his classic car collection, including one in which he set his face on fire and another that resulted in multiple broken bones.
All of this led to speculation that Leno, whose net worth is estimated to be north of $450 million, was the victim of loan sharks to whom he owed money. For years, Leno said publicly that he never spent his salary as longtime host of The Tonight Show and only lived off the income he received as a touring stand-up comic.
After Maher explained that no one thinks the mob threw him down a hill, but rather that he is coming up with elaborate “cover stories” for his bad luck. However, Leno calmly assured him that all of his injuries have perfectly reasonable explanations.
“I like the idea that they wouldn’t just take one of my cars to pay the gambling debt,” Leno said.
The comedian went on to recount that his Tonight Show predecessor Johnny Carson did actually run afoul of organized crime after he was caught “hitting on” a pair of mob girlfriends.
“They put a hit out on Carson. So Carson stops The Tonight Show for the week. He just goes, he leaves, because this is real,” Leno told Maher, adding that the hit was only called off after NBC agreed to air coverage of an Italian “parade” run by the Five Families.

Ok that article makes me believe the Mob got to him, Maher was ordered to debunk the CS, but its not at all convincing.

Climate Scam Unraveling: World Bank Really Doesn't Know Where $41 Billion in Funding Goes.
An Oct. 2024 report titled "Climate Finance Unchecked: How much does the World Bank know about the climate actions it claims?"
Answer: Not much.
The findings are front-loaded in a 33-page report, in case you're not interested in reading the whole thing through: "Oxfam finds that for World Bank projects, many things can change during implementation. On average, actual expenditures on the Bank’s projects differ from budgeted amounts by 26–43% above or below the claimed climate finance. Across the entire climate finance portfolio, between 2017 and 2023, this difference amounts to US$24.28–US$41.32 billion," the report states.

🇬🇧 ROYAL SECRETS SEALED: PRINCE ANDREW FILES LOCKED TILL 2065
The Foreign Office just told researchers, “Nice try,” as it shut the door on revealing Andrew’s trade trips and private dealings.
At 64 years old, Andrew will likely be long gone by the time the files see daylight—because nothing says “accountability” like kicking the can 40 years down the road.
Critics are calling it a royal cover-up, with even the National Archives re-sealing files that were once open.
Transparency? Try a royal game of hide-and-seek.
Meanwhile, Andrew skipped Christmas with the family.
Fewer awkward dinners, more skeletons in the royal closet.

Homelessness grew 18 percent in 2024 alone, fueled by rising prices and a surge of migrants, the Department of Housing and Urban Development admitted in a Friday report. Perhaps homelessness, more than any other issue, will define President Joe Biden’s legacy. The 18 percent increase comes on top of a 12 percent increase in 2023. Progress against homelessness was made from 2010 to 2017 (637,000-554,000), according to the report, but spiked under Biden’s watch to 770,000 in 2024, the largest annual increase since the count began in 2007. “Some communities reported data to HUD that indicated that the rise in overall homelessness was a result of their work to shelter a rising number

NEW: Marc Andreessen reveals how Trump's DOJ appointee, Harmeet Dhillon, is poised to demolish corporate DEI policies.
🔥🔥🔥
Dhillon, a fierce critic of woke corporate culture, is now leading the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
"The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is the federal government’s prosecutorial arm that basically enforces wokeness. They’re the ones who have ensured that, for the last decade, these companies have had all these crazy policies under the penalty of being investigated, subpoenaed, and ultimately prosecuted."
"The most famous case that the current head of the Civil Rights division brought was the case against SpaceX for not hiring enough refugees—notwithstanding that SpaceX is a military contractor and is not permitted to hire non-American citizens under a separate law."
"Dhillon is brilliant, and she's the exact opposite of that."
"Every signal is being sent that they’re going to do a 180 on all these things, and they’re going to begin prosecuting companies for violations of civil rights laws in the form of reverse discrimination—discrimination against white people, Asians, Jews, and other unprotected classes."
"So, signals are being sent by these appointments that there will be an assault to reverse the assault that companies and universities have been under. And then, of course, the Supreme Court ruled not long ago that private universities are not allowed to do race-based admissions."
"I think every major corporation in the country is just in flagrant violation of actual civil rights law. You cannot have these hard quotas and racially, ethnically, and religiously biased hiring practices. It’s flat-out illegal."
"These companies have gone so extreme that they’ve ended up in what I think is clearly mass illegality. So, as Dhillon steps into her job, she won’t lack a shortage of targets. If you don’t want to be a target, it’s a great 'get out of jail free' card to voluntarily shut all this stuff down."
"We’re already starting to see it. Boeing and a bunch of other companies have already put a bullet in their programs. Even the University of Michigan, which went completely overboard with this stuff, has shut their whole thing down."

The biggest political scandal, FISA COVERUP and technological heist of IP in Human History is taking place right under our noses...
Ericsson is now awaiting regulatory approval from the FCC to sell iconectiv to Koch Equity Development for $1B.
Included in the sale is the software/IP and Tech for ordering and issuing ALL FISA warrants — which were used to spy on Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Michael Flynn and virtually 2B+++ Americans.
Latham & Watkins defended Michael Sussman & Susan Rice in John Durham’s probe and in the Spygate/Russiagate scandal — Latham & Watkins is now conveniently advising Ericsson’s sale of iconectiv to the Koch Family.
You literally couldn’t make this up but they really are this close to pulling it all off.
IT’S ALL CONNECTED.

The original mission of the Central Intelligence Agency, when created by the National Security Act of 1947, was collecting intelligence, but for 77 years, it has conducted covert and para-military operations around the world. Many believe that the CIA is the heart of the Deep State which runs our government, irrespective of whomever “we the People” may elect to office.

So Trump almost got corn-popped.
Joe Biden Regrets Withdrawing From 2024 Race, Believes He Could Have Defeated Trump
Joe Biden reportedly regrets withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and believes he could have defeated Trump.
“Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said,” The Guardian reported.
Also according to The Guardian, Biden regrets appointing Merrick Garland as Attorney General because he allowed the DOJ to prosecute Hunter Biden.
“The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter,” The Guardian reported.
In July Joe Biden abruptly announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race after Obama forced him out.
Pelosi reportedly threatened Joe Biden as she pressured him to drop out of the 2024 race.
Barack Obama damaged Joe Biden with leaks to the media.
Nancy Pelosi straight up threatened Biden, according to Politico.
Per Politico: “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” said one Democrat familiar with private conversations who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.”
After nearly a week of getting battered by damaging leaks, Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race.
Kamala Harris stole all of Biden’s delegates. She never won a primary but she became the Democrat nominee after a group of elitists ushered her in to the top of the ticket.

Joe Biden’s health problems.
Joe Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, told CBS News that Biden’s declining health played a considerable role in his decision to drop out.
There was a ‘funeral-like’ feeling to Frank Biden’s statement to CBS News.
He suggested Joe Biden is terminal.
Frank Biden told CBS News that he wants Biden back to “enjoy whatever time we have left.”
“I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left,” Frank Biden told CBS News.
The Biden family threw Frank Biden under the bus after he said the quiet part out loud.
“Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said…is completely untrue,” a source ‘close to the Biden family’ (probably Nurse Jill) told CBS News.
Frank Biden told @cbsnews that his brother's health, "in my humble opinion absolutely" contributed to his decision to bow out. But source close to Biden fam says “Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said…is completely untrue.”

Shocking report in the UK finds 95% of COVID-19 deaths were among the vaccinated
Official UK data reveals an alarming surge in deaths among those vaccinated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
The vaccinated population accounted for 95% of all COVID-19 deaths between January and May 2023.
Despite 30% of the UK population remaining unvaccinated, vaccinated individuals disproportionately suffered.
Similar death surges are being reported globally, including in the Philippines and the United States.
Catastrophic failure: Official UK data reveals 95% of COVID-19 deaths were among vaccinated.
Grim statistics reveal death skyrocketing in vaccinated populations, not unvaccinated
The devastating truth behind the worldwide rollout of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines continues to come out, exposing a staggering reality that governments and corporations have either ignored or deliberately concealed. Official data released by the UK government has revealed an alarming surge in deaths among those who received the vaccination, starkly contrasting with the negligible impact on the unvaccinated population.
According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), as of July 2022, over 18.9 million people had refused the first dose of the COVID-19 injection, with another 21.5 million people refusing the second dose. Furthermore, a significant portion of those who received the first dose later refused additional injections, with 2.6 million people refusing the second and 30.4 million refusing the third shot. These figures indicate a widespread rejection of the vaccine, yet the ramifications for those who did comply with this “lifesaving” intervention were ultimately catastrophic.
The data, published by the UK government’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the "Deaths by Vaccination Status" dataset, is unequivocal. Between July 2021 and May 2023, there were 965,609 deaths among the vaccinated, compared to just 60,903 deaths among the unvaccinated. This stark disparity is a damning indictment of the policies that mandated and promoted these vaccines.
The UK’s vaccinated population, which accounted for 95% of all COVID-19 deaths, has suffered disproportionately high death rates in each age group since July 2021. The most dramatic increases were observed among the 80 to 89-year-old age group, with the highest number of vaccinated all-cause deaths soaring to 19,914 in December 2022.
Many nations report excess death in vaccinated populations
The troubling reality unveiled in the UK is not an isolated incident. Reports from other nations, including the Philippines, are also drawing attention to excess death surges among the vaccinated. Filipino lawmakers are now sounding the alarm and launching comprehensive investigations into the deaths, an unprecedented move in light of the global inaction on similar reports.
In the United States, a peer-reviewed study analyzed the data of an almost universally vaccinated population in King County, Washington, revealing an alarming 1,236% surge in excess cardiac arrest deaths among those who received COVID-19 mRNA injections. The study, led by Nicolas Hulscher and his team, exposed a clear link between the vaccines and unprecedented death rates.
Leading experts like Dr. Peter McCullough have long warned about the potential risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines. Yet, governments and corporations pushed these vaccines on the public without adequate long-term safety data, promoting them as a panacea to an alleged pandemic. The result is a medical atrocity that has claimed countless lives.
The refusal of governments and corporations to take responsibility for these deaths and to rectify this medical disaster underscores a deeper problem. Instead of acknowledging the failures and addressing the suffering of the victims and their families, authorities have perpetuated a cycle of denial and misinformation. It is imperative that governments and corporations face the consequences of their actions. The data clearly indicates that these vaccines are not only ineffective but may be contributing to a public health crisis of unprecedented proportions. It is time for an independent and thorough investigation into the safety of these vaccines and the policies that mandated their use.
Until then, the tragedy of this situation continues to unfold, with the victims and their families left to navigate the aftermath of a medical atrocity that was never intended to exploit their psychology, their DNA, and the survival of their bloodline.

Biden White House to send $1.25 billion in weapon aid to Ukraine before Trump transition: report
In a final push ahead of the impending Trump Administration, the Biden White House is set to announce an additional $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.
The large package of aid includes a significant number of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. The package will also include Stinger missiles and 155 mm and 105 mm artillery rounds.
The officials are expected to make the announcement on Monday, the Associated Press reported.
The recent funding came after Biden earlier this month announced a $988 million aid package to Ukraine to ensure it "has the tools it needs to prevail in its fight against Russian aggression."
"This administration has made its choice. And so has a bipartisan coalition in Congress. The next administration must make its own choice," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously said during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. "But, from this library, from this podium, I am confident that President Reagan would have stood on the side of Ukraine, American security and human freedom."
The Biden administration has been committed to giving Ukraine as much aid as possible before Trump takes office in January.
During the campaign, President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance heavily criticized the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine after Russia’s 2022 invasion.
Trump also said he would end the war before even entering office without offering further details. Vance suggested earlier this year that the best way to end the war was for Ukraine to cede the land Russia has seized and for a demilitarized zone to be established, a proposal Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy flatly rejected.
Since the campaign trial, Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while at a ceremony commemorating the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Saturday after a devastating fire there in 2019.
This latest announcement marks the administration’s 22nd aid package through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
Earlier in December, House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected a request by the administration for Congress to authorize $24 billion in additional funding.
"It is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now," Johnson previously said. "We have a newly elected president, and we’re going to wait and take the new commander in chief’s direction on all that. So, I don’t expect any Ukraine funding to come up now."

And here it is,
IRS Whistleblowers Involved in Hunter Biden Tax Case CONFIRMS BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT,
All the major components of the FBI and the CIA conspiracy to overthrow the United States government on behalf of Joe Biden are now AUTHENTICATED,
The IRS, the DOJ, and the FBI Knew Hunter’s Laptop “Was Real” immediately once the news broke out; the DOJ via prostitutors demanded they Not Ask Questions about Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 Election
A: The FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop in December 2019 and knew it "was real" immediately
B: The FBI spied on Rudy Giuliani, and also ran a disinformation campaign, false claiming he was a Russian agent and knew that he would give the laptop to the media
C: The FBI ran a disinformation campaign in the summer of 2020 to "prebunk" the story with journalists and social media companies, both directly and through Aspen Institute, by falsely claiming Hunter’s laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign.
D: Simultaneously the FBI ran a censorship campaign, by bribing tech companies and the "Former" FBI General Counsel turned Twitter Dep. Counsel, Jim Baker, convinced colleagues to censor the NY Post story after they had determined that it had *not* violated Twitter's Terms of Service
E: The CIA Director Gina Haspel approved, within a few hours, a disinformation campaign by the 51 "Intelligence” officials who claimed the laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign and KNEW flat out it was a fucken lie.
In other words,

North Korean soldiers kill themselves to avoid capture in Ukraine, _U.S. says
North Korean troops are being treated as “expendable” and ordered to take on “hopeless assaults against Ukrainian defenses,” National Security Council official John KirbyZelensky reports this so it is not true(Can you imagine a N. Korean being afraid of being captured, my impression is they will fight to the death) "Propaganda Kirby reporting!
Russia is deploying “human waves” of North Korean soldiers, the U.S. said Friday, and at least one soldier captured by Ukraine died of his injuries.
According to White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, some North Korean soldiers have taken their own lives rather than surrendering to Ukrainian forces.
These suicides, he said, were “likely out of fear of reprisal against their families in North Korea in the event that they’re captured.”
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service had confirmed on Friday that the North Korean soldier captured the previous day had died.
Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelenskyy said in a statement on Telegram Friday that at least 3,000 North Korean soldiers have diedor been wounded in Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces mounted a lightning incursion in August.
But Russia has since amassed thousands of troops in a counterattack.
Kirby quoted a lower death toll among North Koreans, saying more than 1,000 soldiers have died just in the past week.
That’s on top of the more than 1,500 Russian soldiers being wounded or killed each day, according to Britain’s defense ministry, which estimated that there were over 45,000 casualties in November, the highest since the start of the war, adding that the number “is likely reflective of the higher tempo of Russian operations and offensives.”
To supplement its counterattack, Moscow turned toward its ally Pyongyang, which, according to estimates by the U.S. and its allies, has deployed an estimated 11,000 soldiers in Ukraine.
Kirby said the North Koreans are conducting “massed, dismounted assaults against Ukrainian positions in Kursk.” While these “human wave tactics” were ineffective, he acknowledged that Russia’s grinding assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure was making it difficult for Ukrainians to weather the winter.
Neither Russia nor North Korea has publicly acknowledged the troop deployment.
The North Korean troops are being treated as “expendable” and ordered by their leadership on “hopeless assaults against Ukrainian defenses,” Kirby said.
“These North Korean soldiers appear to be highly indoctrinated, pushing attacks even when it is clear that those attacks are futile,” he said.
The exact number of North Korean soldiers who killed themselves to avoid capture is unclear. Zelenskyy said Friday that while “several” North Korean soldiers were captured, they were “seriously wounded and could not be resuscitated,” suggesting that some of them may have also been killed by comrades. (Killed by Ukrainians is more like it)
These troops were being sent to fight with “minimal protection,” he said, and were suffering a “great deal” of losses.
Still, Ukrainians have been unable to capture them as prisoners, he added. “Their own people are executing them.”(all of this seems like complete bullshit, if Russian and N. Koreans they are honored if killed in battle.)

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge signed the Johnson-Reed Immigration Act, which halted mass immigration into the United States.
The act completely stopped immigration from Asia, and set strict quotas on immigration from other places including Europe.
Wages began to dramatically increase.
By the 1950s, America reached the peak of its economic and industrial might. Economic inequality was low. Large businesses and workers alike were prospering.
Then, in 1965 the Hart-Cellar Immigration Act was signed by President LBJ, opening the floodgates and allowing for massive unchecked immigration, especially from the global south.
Immediately, income growth and wage growth for the bottom 90% of earners came to an abrupt halt.
Soon after, the incomes for the top 1% of earners skyrocketed, leading to the massive wealth inequality in America we see today.
The political left attributes this to simply a lack of proper taxation and regulation, but that’s mainly not the case.
Mass immigration has allowed for modern scab labor to become the norm, allowing large companies to pay lower wages for foreign migrants who demand less.
The loser? America’s middle class, which has been deteriorating for more than half a century now.
When you see wealthy technocrats argue in favor of mass “skilled” immigration, keep this in mind.

ChatGPT Mystery: Deceased OpenAI Whistleblower Had Been Approached to Testify Against Company
Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer who raised concerns about the company’s AI training practices potentially violating copyright law, was reportedly being considered as a key witness in lawsuits against OpenAI before he was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26.
The Guardian reports that Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former engineer at OpenAI, died on November 26, 2024 in what San Francisco police said appeared to be a suicide. Prior to his death, Balaji had been identified by lawyers as a potential star witness who likely had unique and relevant documents that could support allegations of copyright infringement against the AI company.
During his nearly four years at OpenAI before resigning in August 2024, Balaji played an essential role in developing some of the company’s key products, including WebGPT which paved the way for ChatGPT. Most recently, he had been organizing the massive datasets of online writings and media used to train GPT-4, OpenAI’s flagship large language model.
It was this work that led Balaji to publicly question in October 2024 whether OpenAI’s practices of training its AI systems on people’s data and then competing with them in the marketplace may be illegal copyright infringement. He told the Associated Press he would “try to testify” in the strongest copyright cases against the company, including one brought by the New York Times in 2023.
While acknowledging his was an unpopular opinion within the AI research community, Balaji felt pulling data from the internet to train AI without permission would have to change, telling AP “they will have to change and it’s a matter of time.” He had grown increasingly disillusioned with OpenAI, especially after internal turmoil in 2023 and the departures of key leaders.
Balaji resigned from OpenAI on the same day in August 2024 as his mentor John Schulman. With Balaji no longer available to testify, it’s unclear what impact his potential testimony could have had on the pending lawsuits accusing OpenAI of copyright violations. Lawyers involved in the cases declined to comment on what role Balaji might have played and how his death affects their litigation strategies.

Are [They] trying to start another "scamdemic"?
Bird flu ‘may be mutating to become more transmissible to humans’
Scientists believe virus, which has spread across bird and cattle farms in the US, could jump more easily to people in future
A Louisiana woman with the first severe case of bird flu in the US had a mutated form of the disease that may make it more infectious to humans.
Scientists believe the virus – which has spread across bird and cattle farms in the US and caused more than 60 mild human infections – could jump more easily to people in future.
California has declared a state of emergency over the virus, which has been found in more than 600 dairy farms there in the last four months.
The woman from Louisiana needed hospital treatment for the disease. Another severe bird flu case was reported in a teenager in British Columbia, Canada.
A genetic analysis of the woman’s disease found that the bird flu virus – known officially as H5N1 – had mutated inside her body. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the mutations may allow the virus to better bind to receptors in the upper airways of humans.
The Louisiana patient was in a critical condition with severe respiratory symptoms after coming in contact with sick and dead birds. The patient, who has not been identified, is older than 65 and has underlying medical problems, officials said earlier this month.
The CDC said there has been no known transmission of the virus from the Louisiana patient to anyone else. It said its findings about the mutations were “concerning”, but the risk to the general public from the outbreak “has not changed and remains low”.
The outbreak on dairy farms has also prompted fresh warnings over the consumption of raw milk, where the virus has been found in samples on sale to the public.
There is no evidence H5N1 has been transmitted to humans via the milk, although public health officials advise consumers not to drink it.
Unpasteurised “raw” milk is favoured by Robert F Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump’s choice as health secretary, who recently asked a California producer of the milk to apply for a job as an adviser to the federal government.
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, imposed a state of emergency over bird flu on Dec 18, noting that it had been found in dairy herds in 16 states.
An animal sanctuary in Shelton, Washington state, has also been placed under quarantine after the outbreak killed 20 big cats at the facility over the past month. The virus has claimed more than half its animals, including four cougars and a Bengal tiger, since late November.
Michael Osterholm, a University of Minnesota infectious disease researcher, warned that bird flu could become a major pandemic similar to coronavirus.
“There will be additional influenza pandemics and they could be much worse than we saw with Covid,” he told the Associated Press. “We know that the pandemic clock is ticking. We just don’t know what time it is.”

Russia-linked cable-cutting tanker seized by Finland ‘was loaded with spying equipment’
agle S, the Russia-linked tanker suspected of damaging an underwater electricity cable on Christmas Day, was kitted out with special transmitting and receiving devices that were used to monitor naval activity, according to a source with direct involvement in the ship, which has since been detained by Finnish police.
RUSSIA-LINKED dark fleet* tanker Eagle S (IMO: 9329760), seized by Finland on December 25 for damaging an undersea cable, had transmitting and receiving devices installed that effectively allowed it to become a “spy ship” for Russia, Lloyd’s List has learnt.
The hi-tech equipment on board was abnormal for a merchant ship and consumed more power from the ship’s generator, leading to repeated blackouts, a source familiar with the vessel who provided commercial maritime services to it as recently as seven months ago.
As well as Eagle S, another related tanker from the same ownership cluster, UK-sanctioned Swiftsea Rider (IMO: 9318539), also had similar equipment installed, Lloyd’s List was told.
Cook Islands-flagged Eagle S and Honduras-flagged Swiftsea Rider are two of 26 elderly Russia-linked tankers with opaque ownership structures connected to three related shipmanagers, including two sanctioned by the UK government 12 months ago for “propping up Putin’s war machine”.
The sanctions-circumventing tankers were bought between 2022 and 2023 and placed under bareboat charter arrangements with Eiger Shipping, the shipping arm of Russia oil trader Litasco.
Eagle S was boarded by Finnish forces investigating sabotage of the Estlink 2 undersea cable that disrupted the supply of electricity to Estonia from Finland.
The tanker slowed and dragged its anchor around the cable around midday, December 25, Finland’s police said. Another three cables were also damaged.
The source, who declined to be identified to protect their safety, supplied at least 60 confidential documents about Eagle S to Lloyd’s List in June, including the vetting report that outlined many safety deficiencies discovered during an inspection undertaken while at anchor in Danish waters that month.
These documents, and others relating to dark fleet tankers providing confidential and private information about class, insurance, and flag, and other technical and regulatory requirements, were verified as genuine at the time.
In July, Lloyd’s List reported the serious deficiencies on Eagle S that compromised environmental and crew safety, and underscored the poor maintenance and absence of adherence to regulatory and technical standards for the wider dark fleet.
The source has since provided additional information, telling Lloyd’s List that an unauthorised person, who was not a seafarer, had been identified on board Eagle S.
They said listening and recording equipment was brought on to the 20-year-old tanker via “huge portable suitcases” along with “many laptops” that had keyboards for Turkish and Russian languages when calling at Türkiye and Russia.
The equipment was kept on the bridge or in the “monkey island”, they said. The monkey island is the top-most place on the ship.
The transmitting and receiving devices were used to record all radio frequencies, and upon reaching Russia were offloaded for analysis.
“They were monitoring all Nato naval ships and aircraft,” Lloyd’s List was told.
“They had all details on them. They were just matching their frequencies.
“Russians, Turkish, Indian radio officers were operating it.”
Eagle S also dropped “sensors-type devices” in the English Channel during a transit, they said.
They said no further equipment returned to the ship after it was offloaded for analysis, to their knowledge, but other devices were placed on another related tanker, Swiftsea Rider.
Claims that Russian-linked merchant ships are being used for spying and sabotage activities in the Baltic Sea where Russia is surrounded by Nato allies underscores the rising geopolitical tension in the region amid calls by European political leaders for increased maritime infrastructure defence.
The damage to the Estlink 2 cable is the second time vital undersea cables between Nato allies have been damaged in two months, and the first time a commercial ship suspected of sabotage has been taken into custody by authorities.
In November, China-flagged bulk carrier Yi Peng 3 (IMO: 9224984) was accused of dragging anchor to damage the C-Lion 1 communication cable connecting Finland and Germany.
The bulk carrier spent more than four weeks in international waters in the Danish straits as German, Sweden, Danish and Finnish officials investigated but ended up sailing last Saturday.
The crew on Eagle S would have been aware of its spying activities “as this could not be hidden” but were “threatened with their life, so everybody kept quiet”, the source said.
“They have replaced captains when they raised this issue,” they said.
The beneficial owners of Eagle S and Swiftsea Rider are hidden behind complex corporate structures. The registered owner of Eagle S is a single-ship structure that purports to have an office in the business centre of a luxury hotel in Dubai.
The shipmanager, Mumbai-based Peninsular Maritime India Private Limited cannot be contacted. One of the telephone numbers on its website did not answer. A second number hung up when asked if this was the phone number for Peninsular Maritime. Emails were not answered.
The company’s website claims the company be registered in England, signalling it is likely a copy-and-paste of a template, commonly found in dark fleet shipping companies.
* Lloyd’s List defines a tanker as part of the dark fleet if it is aged 15 years or over, anonymously owned and/or has a corporate structure designed to obfuscate beneficial ownership discovery, solely deployed in sanctioned oil trades, and engaged in one or more of the deceptive shipping practices outlined in US State Department guidance issued in May 2020. The figures exclude tankers tracked to government-controlled shipping entities such as Russia’s Sovcomflot, or Iran’s National Iranian Tanker Co, and those already sanctioned.

Chinese car company using slave labor at factory in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO/SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Chinese workers at a construction site in Brazil for a factory owned by China's electric vehicle producer BYD are victims of human trafficking, Brazilian labor authorities said on Thursday in a growing controversy in BYD's biggest overseas market.
BYD and contractor Jinjiang Group have agreed to assist and house the 163 workers in hotels until a deal to end their contracts is reached, Brazil's Labor Prosecutor's Office said in a statement after meeting representatives from both firms.
The brief statement did not provide details on how prosecutors had reached their conclusion.
BYD and Jinjiang did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday. Jinjiang rejected the Brazilian authorities' assessment on Monday that the workers at the site in the eastern state of Bahia were operating under "slavery-like conditions".
Jinjiang said, in a social media post reposted by a BYD spokesperson, that the portrayal of the workers as "enslaved" was inaccurate and that there were translation misunderstandings.
BYD initially said it had cut ties with Jinjiang, but a BYD executive later accused "foreign forces" and some Chinese media of "deliberately smearing Chinese brands and the country and undermining the relationship between China and Brazil".
China's foreign ministry said on Friday it has maintained communication with the Brazilian side to verify the situation, adding that China protects workers' rights and requires Chinese companies to operate in compliance with the law.
The Brazil prosecutors said they would meet again with the companies on Jan. 7 and propose a deal.
CHINA'S GROWING INFLUENCE IN BRAZIL
A deal could clear BYD and Jinjiang from an investigation by labor prosecutors, but they could still face scrutiny from labor inspectors and from federal prosecutors, who have requested the sharing of evidence so that "measures can be adopted in the criminal sphere", the statement said.
BYD has been building the factory to produce 150,000 cars initially as part of plans to start production in Brazil early next year. Nearly one in five cars BYD sold outside China in the first 11 months of 2024 was in Brazil.
The factory has become a symbol of China's growing influence in Brazil and an example of a closer relationship between both countries. BYD has invested $620 million to set up the Bahia factory complex alone.
The reports of irregularities in Bahia could prove to be a major sticking point in bilateral relations.
Brazil has long sought more Chinese investment. But China's model of taking Chinese workers to the countries where it invests presents a challenge to local job creation, a priority for President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The investigation also brings unwelcome attention to BYD when it is seeking to expand globally after having gained dominance in China, the world's largest auto market, where it now takes up more than a third of the market of EVs and plug-in hybrids.
BYD, poised to outsell Ford and Honda globally this year, has been on an extraordinary expansion at home and abroad, growing capacity and undertaking a massive hiring spree. The company had nearly 1 million employees as of September.
While it still makes more than 90% of its sales in China, BYD has been building passenger vehicle factories in Hungary, Mexico, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Brazil to serve its major overseas markets and increasing investments in marketing abroad.
Jinjiang also does construction for BYD in China, according to records on the Chinese companies information database Tianyancha.
RARE CHINESE BACKLASH AGAINST BYD
The case has triggered a rare backlash on Chinese social media against BYD, opening a discussion over worker rights, with several internet users saying living conditions for the workers in Brazil were typical of those found on construction sites in China.
Brazilian prosecutors released videos of the workers' living quarters that showed bunk beds without mattresses. They said the workers labored for excessively long hours, sometimes seven days a week, in conditions the authorities called degrading.
In Brazil, "slavery-like conditions" include forced labor but also degrading work conditions, long hours that pose a risk to workers' health, debt bondage and any work that violates human dignity.
Prominent Chinese commentator Hu Xijin, a former editor of the Communist Party tabloid Global Times,echoed Jinjiang in saying there could be misunderstandings but said Chinese construction companies should improve the living conditions of their employees.
For BYD, the case shows how it is likely to encounter more controversies in future as it emerges as China's most powerful EV brand, Hu said.
"The only thing BYD can do is to raise its own requirements and match its growing influence in all directions. This is not easy, but BYD should be able to do it."

🚨🇳🇴KLM BOEING 737-800 SKIDS OFF RUNWAY IN NORWAY, NO INJURIES REPORTED
A KLM flight bound for Amsterdam skidded off the runway at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport following an emergency landing due to hydraulic failure on Saturday.
The Boeing 737-800 veered off runway 18 during its rollout and came to a stop in soft grass.
All 182 passengers and crew were evacuated safely, with no injuries reported.
Airport operations were briefly halted as recovery efforts began, and authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
This incident follows similar emergencies, including a deadly crash in South Korea and a runway mishap in Canada within the last 24 hours.

Anons did we catch this?
Minnesota Senator Kari Dziedzic passes away at 62
ST. PAUL, Minn. (KTTC) – Minnesota Senator and former DFL Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic has reportedly passed away at the age of 62, following a battle with cancer.
Dziedzic had previously battled cancer, and had stepped down in February after learning the cancer had returned.
Several Minnesota politicians have issued statements regarding Dziedzic’s passing, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan.
“Kari Dziedzic was a one-of-a-kind leader, ally, and friend. Humble and dedicated, Kari spent her time finding ways to bring people together and serve Minnesotans. And she was good at it,” Governor Walz said. “No one worked harder or got more done in one session as Majority Leader than Kari did. She was a talented legislator with old-school political savvy and a knack for relationship building. The scope of her work will color Minnesota history books forever.
“Former Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic was a courageous, hard-working, and selfless public servant – and proud daughter of Northeast Minneapolis. We were all so fortunate to have witnessed her leadership,” Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan said. She led by example, always one of the last people working at night in the Capitol and a consistent fighter for the working class. She leaves a huge legacy – her loss will be felt widely in the legislature and across Minnesota.
Other Minnesota politicians to issue statements regarding Dziedzic’s death include U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, House Speaker Melissa Hortman, and DFL Chair Ken Martin.
“My heart is with Senator Dziedzic’s family and all who knew and loved her,” Martin said. “It is impossible to overstate the positive impact that Senator Dziedzic’s leadership has had on our state. She devoted her life to making her fellow Minnesotans’ lives better, and she refused to allow cancer to get in her way.”
Dziedzic was first elected to the state legislature in 2012, when she won in a special election. She won re-elections in 2016, 2020, and 2022 before being selected to serve as the Senate Majority Leader in Jan. 2023.

Be Warned: The Dems Aren’t Finished
Hatching Schemes to Keep Trump From Taking Office
PJ Media, by Robert Spencer
Posted By: Mercedes44, 12/29/2024 5:05:26 AM
Throughout the 2024 campaign, Democrats insisted that we simply had to vote for Kamala Harris or else the nation would descend into the fascist rule of Bad Orange Man, the most dangerous enemy of “our democracy” since the reigns of terror of his good friends and role models Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan. It was all bunkum, of course, and an extended use of the old tactic of accusing the enemy of what they were guilty of doing, as it was the Biden-Harris regime that took actual steps to criminalize opposition to its policies. And now, even after their disastrous electoral defeat,

Well That Sucks! Ukraine To Cut Off Gas Shipments To Europe Soon + MY COMMENT
Today is December 29, 2024 and there are less than 72 hours remaining for natural gas supplies through Ukraine, into Europe. UKRAINE is halting transit of Russian gas as of January 1.
With the coldest months - January and February - just ahead, Ukraine's decision to halt natural gas from Russia transiting through their country, European governments find themselves being held hostage by the Ukrainians. Ukraine wants (and needs) more military aid, weapons, and cash money, to continue its futile effort to fight Russia on the battlefield.
European governments are tapped-out of weaponry and cash, having given everything they can - and then some - to Ukraine for the past three years.
The Ukrainians aren't interested! They demand MORE or else the natural gas transit to Europe through Ukraine, stops on January 1.
An irresistible force is about to meet an immovable object.
Europe cannot give what it doesn't have, and Ukraine cannot survive without more, so they're cutting off the gas transit in the hope of forcing Europe to do more. Most observers realize Ukraine will not only bring down itself, it will bring down Europe as well.
Today we also found out that Russia's Gazprom will cut off natural gas supply to Moldova because that country's natural gas company, Moldovagaz, isn't paying its debt!
So, 70 hours from now, the gas pipelines from Russia to Europe will, for all intents and purposes, shut down.
Of course, most European countries have reserves; some with very significant reserves, that will very likely get them through January and maybe even part of February. The weather will have a lot to say about that. The colder the weather, the more gas is needed for heating.
One country that does NOT have significant reserves is Slovakia. That country's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, was in Moscow this week, speaking with Russian President Putin about his dilemma. Fico made it clear that unless Ukriane allows natural gas from Russia to traverse Ukraine into Slovakia "it could cause another conflict."
MY COMMENT: Europeans get what they deserve. Time for Europeans to throw out the corrupt political leadership, accept their government's proxy war against Russia was futile and wishful thinking, and negotiate a peace deal, talk to Putin, Orban and Trump. Zelensky needs to go, call for a new election in Ukraine and the martial law dictator will no doubt be voted out and a new neutral government will be elected! AND BY THE WAY TO MAKE IT CLEAR.... NONE OF US (WE THE PEOPLE) ARE MAKING ANY OTHER DEALS! THIS WAS NEVER OUR WAR AND NEVER WILL BE!

In Trump ‘45, the President had a showdown with the Tennessee Valley Authority over 200 American jobs that TVA had switched to H1Bs.
In the run-up to Christmas, TVA fired these 200 Americans - and had them train their foreign replacements on the way out.
They did this despite the fact that TVA is (1) a government agency; (2) founded to improve the material station of poor Americans, and (3) manages critical energy infrastructure for a large swath of the country.
My team and I proposed a plan to President Trump to reinstate the terminated American workers. Because the President of TVA cannot be fired by the President of the United States we thought President Trump should hold the TVA board members responsible - the highly-compensated decision-makers who had orchestrated the H1B worker swap.
The President agreed. He started firing TVA board members one at a time, with a demand to reinstate the Americans to their jobs. It didn’t take long before the TVA president and the remaining Board members agreed to reinstate the American workers.
At the time, some skeptical commentators said it was meaningless because it was “only” 200 jobs. But it was an important moment for two reasons.
First, these 200 jobs mattered to 200 American families, especially with Christmas approaching.
Second, it set an outer boundary for what short-term labor visas (which is ultimately what the H1B visa is) should NOT be used for: to replace competent American workers in a critical industry with temporary foreign visa workers just to save a buck.
There is broad agreement on the right about what H1B visas - or any other visa - should NOT be used for. The TVA showdown is an example of that.
Agreeing on this common understanding is the right starting place for this incoming administration.

Despite New York Post Phone Call, Question and Answer, Donald Trump Companies Do Not Use H1B Visas
1/2
December 29, 2024 | Sundance |
When I read the New York Post article proclaiming that President Trump supports the fraudulent system known as H1B visa hiring, I knew something was amiss because we previously looked at Trump’s various business hires and use of the visa process.
Apparently, the NY Post called President Trump to get him to weigh in on the controversial subject that has been triggered by Elon Musk saying he would “go to war on this issue” to maintain the H1B visa system -and subsequent foreign employment for tech skilled workers- his various companies depend upon.
Here’s the topline takeaway from the article that has triggered many:
(NY POST) President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue.
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past. (more)
However, if you go to the Dept of Labor website, search or download the database of H1B employment, specifically filtering to Trump’s various companies, what you will discover is that Trump Inc doesn’t use the H1B visa system at all. [Check for Yourself Here]
How does this reconcile? Well, having previously looked at the visa use by President Trump in his various companies {SEE HERE}, I can confidently assert (Occam’s Razor) that within the interview President Trump conflated H2B temporary worker visas, which he does use in his service industry, with H1B visas which he does not use.
The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations of distinguished merit and ability. At least that was the intent of the program before it was abused by companies who saw the opportunity to avoid domestic market wages and find alternative cheap sources of skilled labor in the tech sector. That abusive ‘labor diversion’ process has now expanded to find H1B claims in other sectors. So much so, there are now a myriad of companies requesting H1B status employees for their various interests.
The H2B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as “temporary workers” mostly in the service industrywhere extreme seasonal fluctuations in business make it challenging to hire from a very limited market base. H2B workers are found in hotels, resorts, restaurants and service companies anywhere you find big seasonal shifts in service businesses, like Trump resorts.
As previously noted, Does the word “Snowbird” ring a bell? Florida has a “tourist season” which runs from (generally speaking) just after Thanksgiving to Easter annually. January, February and March are the peak. The first Monday in February is the absolute peak as almost every time-share and hotel unit flips that week.
The volume of work within the service and hospitality industry doubles during the tourist season, and those businesses who hire within the general labor market struggle to increase their labor in relationship to the increase in business. In addition, local workers looking for employment are reluctant to take temporary or “seasonal” jobs, and prefer longer term -more stable- employment.

Many businesses need to double, or in some cases triple, their workforce in order to meet the business demand. As a consequence, many companies, including Trump owned resorts, have used H-2B visa workers to fill the gap between large fluctuations in business and the needed staffing shortfalls. From my own experience, many of the workers are students from South America (Argentina, Brazil, etc) who take the seasonal jobs Nov/Dec – March/April between their college seasons – and then return home.
Bottom line – President Trump is referencing H2B visas which he does use, and not H1B visas which he does not use.Whether President Trump conflated the issue, or whether the Murdoch owned New York Post intentionally constructed their questioning to create a clickbait controversy, is entirely up to the reader to determine. I think it’s likely a combination.
♦ All of that said, the issue of H1B replacement workers displacing American workers is not going away regardless of how uncomfortable it makes the Silicon Valley crowd. Many highly skilled Americans have been impacted by the issue of H1B replacement, and the inherent fraud within the special interest employment system is a critical issue for a large percentage of the MAGA base.
In fact, for context you might remember the 2017 Trump suspension of visas from Muslim countries. In response to that suspension, the state of Washington filed a lawsuit against President Trump seeking an injunction to continue the visas. The main subject of their opposition was the financial impact to Microsoft and the H1B visa use.
BYRON YORK, 2017 – “Why is Washington State mounting such a vigorous challenge to President Trump’s executive order temporarily suspending non-American entry from seven terrorism-plagued countries? Of course there are several lawsuits against the president, and there are lots of motives among the various litigants. But Washington State’s is the suit that stopped the order, at least temporarily. And a look at the state’s case suggests that, behind high-minded rhetoric about religious liberty and constitutional protections, there is a lot of money at stake.
Judging by the briefs filed by Washington State, as well as statements made by its representatives, some of the state’s top priorities in challenging Trump are: 1) To ensure an uninterrupted supply of relatively low-wage H-1B foreign workers for Microsoft and other state businesses; 2) To ensure a continuing flow of high-tuition-paying foreign student visa holders; and 3) To preserve the flow of tax revenues that results from those and other sources.
[…] Washington State argued that its residents have suffered from the Trump order, or might suffer in the future, because some of the state’s biggest businesses rely on H-1B visas, which are often used to bring foreign workers to U.S. companies at lower wages than their American counterparts.
“The technology industry relies heavily on the H-1B visa program,” the Washington State lawsuit said. “Microsoft, a corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington, is the state’s top employer of high-tech — or H-1B visa holders and employs nearly 5,000 people through the program. Other Washington-based companies, including Amazon, Expedia, and Starbucks, employ thousands of H-1B visa holders.” (link)
Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks, Elon Musk (with his influencers) and the tribe in/around Silicon Valley, have placed their flag of influence on this H1B hill. They are willing to do whatever it takes to retain this system, much to the angst of the MAGA supporters who have been victimized by it.
When a system has been so thoroughly corrupted as to now create harm, there should not be a great deal of controversy in suspending that system until the market can correct itself. However, losing control of the H1B visa system is viewed by the Silicon Valley tech group as a non-starter position.
♦It will be interesting to watch how Silicon Valley’s ally, JD Vance – a political entity wrapped in the cover of Hillbilly values, reacts to this H1B visa and immigration debate.

As we watch the arguments inside the H1B debate, it is worth remembering the =group who promoted, pushed and ultimately influenced the JD Vance nomination consisted of: Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Bill Ackman, David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jacob Helberg and of course, Vivek Ramaswamy.== On the inside of the Trump orbit, the network had Donald Trump Jr also promoting JD Vance.
JD Vance was then invited to be an attendee at the June 6th San Francisco fundraiser for President Trump, hosted by Sacks and Palihapitiya, and that’s likely when the first one-on-one running mate discussion between President Trump and Senator Vance took place.
Usha Chilukuri Vance, the wife of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, quit her job as a corporate litigator at DNC-affiliated Munger, Tolles & Olson, within minutes of hearing that JD had been selected as President Trump’s Vice-President nominee and running mate. Usha Chilukuri-Vance worked in Washington DC for the firm.
The American workers who Silicon Valley advocate for replacing with foreign workers, are the proverbial “Saxons, with nothing to lose.”
The Big Tech group may not have initiated the background; in fact, the offshoring and replacement cycle was started many years before. However, when you strip a group of Americans of their value, label them, ostracize them, ridicule them, belittle them and then denigrate them for failing to support your abuse, think “rust belt”, you create a group of Americans with nothing left to lose.
Calling people “racist” and “nativist” who voted for President Trump specifically on this issue is not going to work. Musk et al should be very aware that this H1B debate is targeting the “nothing left to lose” American team.
If they think their immigration position is both zero-sum and survivable, think again. There is much for them to lose. The true zero-sum position is already held by a much bigger tribe of American workers who truly do have nothing left to lose.
Silicon Valley ends up fighting an army that will never concede because they have already been stripped of everything they hold dear.
Beware the wrath of the angry Saxon.This immigration topic is Musk, Ramaswamy and Sacks’ first trip into what they call ‘flyover country.’ They are experiencing strong MAGA pushback, something very new and uncomfortable for them, likely for the first time; hence, their emotional reactions.
We understand the UniParty is smiling as they see us debating this issue;however, if Making America Great Again doesn’t benefit working Americans, then what exactly is the point.

Did we have a dialog? Was it necessary?
Did Elon clarify? Make more sense?
Were we distracted?
Were we divided?
Were shills desperately trying to drive a wedge between anons and MAGA and Trump?
For those that waited out the screaming and frantic mud-slinging, we seem to be justified?

Tech Anon here. I see a few of the pros and cons related to this topic.
Bringing in the best and brightest helps us catch up to China in certain areas of tech. In the immediate term, we simply do not have enough qualified professionals in AI that rank with the top performers in the industry. I realize our education system is fucked, and can be fixed over the next few years, but the they/thems cannot fill in the gaps we have right now, and the tech is advancing VERY QUICKLY.
The con that I see in the tech industry with the h1-b crowd is general lack of attachment to the USA. I’ve known more than a few talented Indian engineers in Silicon Valley who had no problem executing on directives that are unethical and completely fuck over the little guy. And you can imagine Chinese employees having even less loyalty/attachment here.

"We did it! We tested 300 Bay Area foods for plastic chemicals. We found some interesting surprises," Friedman wrote on X.
Here are the top five findings from the test, most of which are shocking (full results published here):
Our tests found plastic chemicals in 86% of all foods, with phthalates in 73% of the tested products and bisphenols in 22%. It's everywhere.
We detected phthalates in most baby foods and prenatal vitamins.
Hot foods which spend 45 minutes in takeout containers have 34% higher levels of plastic chemicals than the same dishes tested directly from the restaurant.
The 1950s Army rations we tested contained surprisingly high levels of plastic chemicals.
Almost every single one of the foods we tested are within both US FDA and EU EFSA regulations.

You bring in an Indian H1B visa, it's not just one job he's taking from Americans.
It depends on how many family members there are who will be taking jobs from Americans, starting with the spouse.
It's all BS designed to take and replace Americans for foreigners.

Good comments, but if they want to being in the best and brightest, the companies should be required to pay them equal to an American, then we'll see if "the best and brightest" is really what they want.
I had a tech company owned by American Citizens. They hired almost 80% of their workforce.
I asked them how the H1B system worked, they said the Dept of Labor required to pay them at a minimum $60,000, so that's what they did regardless of their skillsets, but it was true all the Indians brought in their family only to work for their green card.
So all the people that apply to be citizens without H1B, wait in line and go through a long process, 8-10+ years. So the Visas have been used to skirt around legal citizenship requirement.
I has an Private School that imported at least 1/2 their employees from Turkey, they did something worse on salary. They also were required a minimum pay, I think $40,000. But the school required them to give them back some of the money, because it was mostly set up to get them citizenship. That was obvious because as teachers, the had little skills to speak the English language. That boggled my mind until I found out the trick.
So their be tests on all who bring in the H1B visas, that they are at least more qualified; but they don't because its all about cheap labor. Not so for O1B visas, if they are truly the Best and Brightest.
Musk admitted it, bottom line, saving money by lower salaries. As far as "super motivated" he's expecting Americans to be happy receiving less pay than the economy gives. He's saying "be happy you've got a job when I pay less then the going rate.
A big reason why Tesla is built in China, he has slave wages workers. Same with Apple.
"But hell, be happy and super motivated, at least you've got a job!"
This whole fight will come to a head soon, it will piss off a lot of MAGA if not rectified.So one thing is sure, the corrupt VISA system and the criminals that abuse it, needs to be fixed, for good!

European Gas Prices Soar As Putin Says A New Ukraine Transit Deal Is Unlikely
Europe’s benchmark natural gas prices soared on Friday by the most in a week after Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the chances of a new deal for Russian gas flows to Europe via Ukraine are low.
Dutch TTF Natural Gas Futures, the benchmark for Europe’s gas trading, jumped early on Friday in Amsterdam by as much as 5%, before giving up some of the gains by midday.
On Thursday, Putin said that there isn’t time for a new gas transit deal to be reached between Russia and Ukraine. The Russian president was quick to add that the lack of a deal was entirely Ukraine’s fault.
Ukraine has so far refused to extend the gas transit deal currently in place that would see gas transit continue uninterrupted to Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia—a refusal that Putin says only hurts Europe.
The current gas transit deal began nearly five years ago and expires at the end of 2024, and if the deal does in fact expire without a new deal in place, it will indeed bring hardship to several European countries. According to Putin, the few days left in the year are not long enough to reach a new deal.

I think the challenging part here is:
1) We've been at this H1B game for decades.
2) No real training or work retraining efforts en masse have been performed.
Just throwing up your hands for 3 decades complaining that there aren't qualified US workers; while at the same time doing little to nothing to remediate the root cause is.
FRAUDULENT.

Another Food Processing Plant Catches Fire: One Dead, Several Injured After Midnight Explosion at Tyson Poultry Plant
Another day, another fire at a food processing plant.
One person is dead and several injured after an explosion at a poultry plant in Georgia.
An explosion at Tyson Foods Plant in southwest Georgia overnight killed a woman sleeping in the cab of an 18-wheeler parked next to the facility.
Several people were injured in the explosion. According to reports, a fire raged at the plant for 3 hours after the explosion.
The union representing 1,600 workers at the Tyson plant said a boiler exploded.

Government took over the educational system, the stock market, even the entire economy, consolidated the wealth, monopolized everything, lied to the people, dumbed us down, created mass debt insolvency and price inflation, destroyed the free market, ran over consumer choice with bureaucracy and hired foreign retards to take our jobs!
This is what corrupt governments do.

I think we’re all on the same page:
The pay shouldn’t be less than an American, and probably should include some weird fee to be paid by the company so there isn’t a cost savings. They’ll REALLY have to want this employee to go through the trouble.
I believe the education system can and will be fixed , but in the meantime while we have some superstar grads coming out of colleges, they’re not enough to keep up for the time being . A big part of it is the brainwashing of many students who know believe their gender and ethnicity is enough of a virtue to warrant a paycheck.
We should do like the Chinese did:
Short term we rolll out the red carpet for top talent, learn from them, ramp up, and sunset/drastically reduce the program once we are back on our feet.

Exactly. Jon Levine of the NY Post is either lying, or he spoke to a liar pretending to be POTUS Trump
There is literally no way Mr Trump would just flip flop on a critical issue like that like nothing happened.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday he was formally removing two members from the board of the Tennessee Valley Authority for seeking to outsource U.S. jobs to foreign workers, and criticized its chief executive as "ridiculously overpaid."
In remarks during a White House event, Trump threatened to remove the agency's chief executive, Jeff Lyash, and called on the board of the nation's largest public utility to do so."

So true, they've been at this for decades, where it's different, two people very close to Trump showed their disdain for American citizens; and stupidly tried to lecture us that tech is too complex for Americans and they had to import them. That can be true at times, but not always. Musk made it clear, a major motivation was paying less money.
Both of them addressed this in such a barbarian way, that to me at least, I'm back thinking Musk is not a benevolent guy, and Vivek's arrogance, just shows, that he as an Indian, is better educated and we are not. Vivek made the biggest mistake, that he would arrogantly condemn American Culture. And neither addressed the H1B visa is never the "best and brightest", this system just lets more in. The O1B is for the best and brightest and I bet they get equal wages as Americans.
The stupidest thing they did is reveal paying lower wages was the most compelling reason. "Super Motivated and Super Worker" Americans are when they love their job, but the foreigners only have that because they are making more money in their poor countries, and they'll do it for the green card. Plus back in India they work longer hours. So Vivek showed he has very little diplomacy or social skills in a fraught situation.
So Sundance is right the Uni Party is enjoying this, hoping it fractures the base. BTW, I think it!/ clear Loomer got into this because she does not have a seat at the table, she turned it into a fight at higher decibels. She should not be involved at all. She's got a serious mental illness, but she's influential. Her rage machine is tiresome.
This is definitely a war against the American worker by these tech and large company's and both of them basically admitted it.
They both worry me they are around and influential on Trump, the biggest problem in the last Admin, many close to Trump lied to him and manipulated him, causing real problems.I hope Ben Carlson is consulting Trump on this, because he would be the only one I'd trust to give him sound and enlightening counsel.

Stephen Miller just sent a thinly-veiled warning to the America Last tech faction….
December 27, 2024 (2 days ago)
There’s an immigration war brewing within MAGA, and this time, it’s not about the border. The battle is over H-1B visas and foreign workers, unfolding between two of MAGA’s strongest new allies: Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk. Both are tech powerhouses, but their ideas on this issue are stuck in an outdated, America-Last mindset, sparking some serious friction. Elon and Vivek, great in so many ways and undeniably forces for good, could clearly use some guidance on this critical issue.
RELATED: Is Elon Musk Walking Into Censorship Trap With X Support of Kids Online Safety Act?
Enter Stephen Miller, Trump’s unwavering America First advocate, with a thinly veiled warning to the America-Last tech faction—one that could potentially pave the way for better understanding and positive outcomes.
Miller shared a clip from President Trump’s 2020 Mt. Rushmore speech, adding his own emphasis to drive the point home.
Stephen Miller:
Stephen Miller
@StephenM
Transcript of President Trump speaking at Mt. Rushmore, on the eve of Independence Day, 2020:
“Above all, our children, from every community, must be taught that to be American is to inherit the spirit of the most adventurous and confident people ever to walk the face of the Earth.
Americans are the people who pursued our Manifest Destiny across the ocean, into the uncharted wilderness, over the tallest mountains, and then into the skies and even into the stars.
We are the country of Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Frederick Douglass. We are the land of Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill Cody. (Applause.) We are the nation that gave rise to the Wright Brothers, the Tuskegee Airmen — (applause) — Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Jesse Owens, George Patton — General George Patton — the great Louie Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, and Mohammad Ali. (Applause.) And only America could have produced them all. (Applause.) No other place.
We are the culture that put up the Hoover Dam, laid down the highways, and sculpted the skyline of Manhattan. We are the people who dreamed a spectacular dream — it was called: Las Vegas, in the Nevada desert; who built up Miami from the Florida marsh; and who carved our heroes into the face of Mount Rushmore. (Applause.)
Americans harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the Internet. We settled the Wild West, won two World Wars, landed American astronauts on the Moon — and one day very soon, we will plant our flag on Mars.
We gave the world the poetry of Walt Whitman, the stories of Mark Twain, the songs of Irving Berlin, the voice of Ella Fitzgerald, the style of Frank Sinatra — (applause) — the comedy of Bob Hope, the power of the Saturn V rocket, the toughness of the Ford F-150 — (applause) — and the awesome might of the American aircraft carriers.
Americans must never lose sight of this miraculous story.”

Hearings held, proof given, there is no STEM shortage:
In 2015 and 2016, the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on problems with the H-1B visa. On March 17, 2015, Chairman Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on "Immigration Reforms Needed to Protect Skilled American Workers".[165][166][167] On February 25, 2016, Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Jeff Sessions held a hearing on "The Impact of "High-Skilled" Immigration on U.S. Workers.[168][169] These hearings' witnesses included AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Howard University Associate Professor Ron Hira, American Immigration Council Benjamin Johnson, Washington Alliance of Technology Workers Attorney John Miano, former Disney IT Engineer Leo Perrero, Colgate University Associate Professor of Economics Chad Sparber, and Rutgers University Professor Hal Salzman.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the committee commented on the H-1B visa during the March 17th hearing:
The program was intended to serve employers who could not find the skilled workers they needed in the United States. Most people believe that employers are supposed to recruit Americans before they petition for an H-1B worker. Yet, under the law, most employers are not required to prove to the Department of Labor that they tried to find an American to fill the job first. And, if there is an equally or even better qualified U.S. worker available, the company does not have to offer him or her the job. Over the years the program has become a government-assisted way for employers to bring in cheaper foreign labor, and now it appears these foreign workers take over – rather than complement – the U.S. workforce.[170]
The H-1B visa became an issue in the 2016 United States presidential election. According to Computerworld, candidate Donald Trump took a stance to "pause" and re-write the H-1B system.[171] Additionally, he invited guest speakers to raise awareness of the hundreds of IT workers displaced by H-1B guest workers during his rallies. Candidate Donald Trump stated his policy position and solution on H-1Bs in his campaign website on immigration policy:
"Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs.
We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program.
Requirement to hire American workers first.
Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS."[172]
No labor shortage
Academic researchers have found no labor shortage in STEM, undercutting the primary reason for the H-1B visa's existence.
In 2022, Howard University public policy professor Ron Hira found there was no shortage in STEM due to stagnant wages in IT and a seven percent decline in real wages for engineers.[190]
Studies from Rutgers University professor Hal Salzman, and co-authors B. Lindsay Lowell and Daniel Kuehn, have concluded that the U.S. has been employing only 30% to 50% of its newly degreed able and willing STEM workers to work in STEM fields.[192][193]
A 2012 IEEE announcement of a conference on STEM education funding and job markets stated "only about half of those with under-graduate STEM degrees actually work in the STEM-related fields after college, and after 10 years, only some 8% still do."[194]
(Is this because the are passed over for H1B's?)
Rutgers University Public Policy Professor Hal Salzman points to simultaneous industry layoffs, when industry claims labor shortage. In his Senate Judiciary testimony, he states that between 2006 and 2016, the IT industry (the predominant user of the H-1B visa) laid off on average 97,000 workers per year, more than the number of 74,000 H-1B workers brought for the IT industry.[195]
Critics of the program take issue with American and outsourcing companies using H-1B visa workers to body shop and offshore work abroad.[227][228] Researchers have found that two thirds of IT jobs are offshorable. The remaining third remains onshore in order to be the conduit between American clients and offshore work teams.[229]

Leftist New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has signed a legislative package that includes a bill encouraging platforms to censor speech.
In a Dec. 24 press release, Hochul’s office bragged about alleged “Online Safety Legislation.” One bill in particular, S895B/A6789B, “Requires Social Media Companies To Disclose Their Terms of Service Relating to Hate Speech.” But “hate speech” is a vague and easily abused term, often weaponized by anti-speech leftists like Hochul and Big Tech censors as justification for draconian censorship.

Methane Bubbles Frozen in Lake Baikal
What are these bubbles frozen into Lake Baikal? Methane. Lake Baikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Russia, is the world's largest (by volume), oldest, and deepest lake, containing over 20% of the world's fresh water. The lake is also a vast storehouse of methane, a greenhouse gas that, if released, could potentially increase the amount of infrared light absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, and so increase the average temperature of the entire planet. Fortunately, the amount of methane currently bubbling out is not climatologically important. It is not clear what would happen, though, were temperatures to significantly increase in the region, or if the water level in Lake Baikal were to drop. Pictured, bubbles of rising methane froze during winter into the exceptionally clear ice covering the lake.

‘Yellowstone’ Actor Sees Shift in Hollywood ‘There’s a Tide of Change Going on Right Now’ (Video)
by Margaret Flavin Dec. 29, 2024
Yellowstone’ actor Neal McDonough joined Fox News to talk about his new film with Angel Studios and the shifting tides in Hollywood.
The father of five credits his faith for helping him navigate tough times as an actor after he claims he was blacklisted from the industry in 2010 for refusing to agree to on-screen sex scenes.
During a recent the importance of storytelling with Will Cain of ‘Jesse Watters Primetime,’ he had hopeful words for those who have been turned off by Hollywood’s constant and exhausting push of the woke agenda.
Will Cain: Actor Neal McDonough joins me now. Neil, great to see you. Of course, ‘Yellowstone’ is a Taylor Sheridan show. Another one, ‘Landman,’ out right now. There’s a scene in ‘Landman,’ Neal, a speech where he gives about the power of oil and gas versus wind and how everything in our world revolves around the production of oil. If nothing, Neal it’s unique.
Neal McDonough: Well, there’s something about what Taylor Sheridan is doing, and Will, you hit on something. It’s just being pro-American in our approach to our filmmaking. I think Taylor has done it better than anyone. Even on ‘Tulsa King,’ we had such a great time talking about the heartland of America this year. But what I do miss, I have to admit on a side note, I miss you sparring with Stephen A. Smith so much, I can’t even tell you. Those were the days I loved watching you on ESPN. It was great. But if you’re right, though.
Will Cain: I watched Tulsa King. To know that the guy in Tulsa King is telling me that he used to watch me on first take. That’s very flattering. Thank you, Neal.
Neal McDonough: That’s right. No, exactly. But It just seems like there’s a tide of change going on right now in Hollywood. I’m fortunate because my wife, Ruvé and I, we get to produce all of our films for Angel Studios, which is just an incredible machine that they have. Our film, ‘Homestead,’ came out this last weekend. It’s doing very, very so thank you everyone for your support.
The more you support films like this that actually talk about the family, talk about issues that the whole family can sit around the theater and watch and have a discussion after. If you like those types of films, please keep supporting what the Ewrin Brothers are doing, the Kendricks are doing, Dallas Jenkins doing, everyone at Angel is doing. There’s a movement going on, and I’m just so blessed that we get to be part of it.
Will Cain: I haven’t had a chance to see yet, but I’ve heard great things, by the way, about Homestead. The thing about it is, if you’re interested in being a storyteller, how rich What a rich environment to mine stories from, Americana, America.
Neal McDonough: Well, it’s funny. Five years ago, they just came up with a list of all the wants that all the networks want. I want a show like this. I want to show like that. But I would say eight out of ten of them on the list that I just read at the bottom, it says,’ If you have anything with faith-based, we’re very interested this year.’
There’s just a change that’s going on that I love because these films are turning profits. We keep the prices down. The advertising isn’t as much as you have with a big studio film, but the word of mouth through our Angel Films has really just caught on so well, and it’s building such a fan base that I just love that we’re part of it and Ruvé get to keep on making, the two of us get to keep making for Angel Studios. We have our next one, The Last Rodeo, which comes out in May that we’re very proud of that I wrote.
According to their website, “Angel Studios is a free, community-supported streaming platform offering exceptional movies, shows, and documentaries for all ages. Enjoy unlimited access to our award-winning, viewer-supported entertainment designed to inspire, uplift, and unite through meaningful storytelling. Each Angel Studios title is voted for and refined by the Angel Guild, our body of members that decides which films and shows are distributed by Angel Studios. Because of the Angel Guild, our films are produced and seen for free by millions of people.”

NASA Is Watching a Vast, Growing Anomaly in Earth's Magnetic Field
Dec 28, 2024
NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa.
This vast, developing phenomenon, called the South Atlantic Anomaly, has intrigued and concerned scientists for years, and perhaps none more so than NASA researchers.
The space agency's satellites and spacecraft are particularly vulnerable to the weakened magnetic field strength within the anomaly, and the resulting exposure to charged particles from the Sun.
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) – likened by NASA to a 'dent' in Earth's magnetic field, or a kind of 'pothole in space' – generally doesn't affect life on Earth, but the same can't be said for orbital spacecraft (including the International Space Station), which pass directly through the anomaly as they loop around the planet at low-Earth orbit altitudes.
During these encounters, the reduced magnetic field strength inside the anomaly means technological systems onboard satellites can short-circuit and malfunction if they become struck by high-energy protons emanating from the Sun.
These random hits may usually only produce low-level glitches, but they do carry the risk of causing significant data loss, or even permanent damage to key components – threats obliging satellite operators to routinely shut down spacecraft systems before spacecraft enter the anomaly zone.
Mitigating those hazards in space is one reason NASA is tracking the SAA; another is that the mystery of the anomaly represents a great opportunity to investigate a complex and difficult-to-understand phenomenon, and NASA's broad resources and research groups are uniquely well-appointed to study the occurrence.
"The magnetic field is actually a superposition of fields from many current sources," geophysicist Terry Sabaka from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland explained in 2020.
The primary source is considered to be a swirling ocean of molten iron inside Earth's outer core, thousands of kilometers below the ground.
The movement of that mass generates electrical currents that create Earth's magnetic field, but not necessarily uniformly, it seems.
A huge reservoir of dense rock called the African Large Low Shear Velocity Province, located about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) below the African continent, is thought to disturb the field's generation, resulting in the dramatic weakening effect – which is aided by the tilt of the planet's magnetic axis.
"The observed SAA can be also interpreted as a consequence of weakening dominance of the dipole field in the region," said NASA Goddard geophysicist and mathematician Weijia Kuang in 2020.
"More specifically, a localized field with reversed polarity grows strongly in the SAA region, thus making the field intensity very weak, weaker than that of the surrounding regions."

While there's much scientists still don't fully understand about the anomaly and its implications, new insights are continually shedding light on this strange phenomenon.
For example, one study led by NASA heliophysicist Ashley Greeley in 2016 revealed the SAA slowly drifts around, which was confirmed by subsequent tracking from CubeSats in research published in 2021.
It's not just moving, however. Even more remarkably, the phenomenon seems to be in the process of splitting in two, with researchers in 2020 discovering that the SAA appeared to be dividing into two distinct cells, each representing a separate center of minimum magnetic intensity within the greater anomaly.
Just what that means for the future of the SAA remains unknown, but in any case, there's evidence to suggest that the anomaly is not a new appearance.
A study published in July 2020 suggested the phenomenon is not a freak event of recent times, but a recurrent magnetic event that may have affected Earth since as far back as 11 million years ago.
If so, that could signal that the South Atlantic Anomaly is not a trigger or precursor to the entire planet's magnetic field flipping, which is something that actually happens, if not for hundreds of thousands of years at a time.
A more recent study published this year found the SAA also has an impact on auroras seen on Earth.
Obviously, huge questions remain, but with so much going on with this vast magnetic oddity, it's good to know the world's most powerful space agency is watching it as closely as they are.

Via The Mind Unleashed,
Imagine if something as common as the oil in your kitchen could be silently contributing to cancer. For millions around the world, this unsettling possibility has moved from speculation to science. Two studies, released just days apart, have cast a harsh spotlight on widely used cooking oils, suggesting a troubling connection between their consumption and increased cancer risks, particularly in the colon.

After 60 years of spaceflight patches, here are some of our favorites
Dec 29, 2024 4:00 AM
The art of space mission patches is now more than six decades old, dating to the Vostok 6 mission in 1963 that carried Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova into low-Earth orbit for nearly three days.
The patch for the first female human spaceflight showcased a dove flying above the letters designating the Soviet Union, CCCP.
That patch was not publicly revealed at the time, and the use of specially designed patches was employed only infrequently by subsequent Soviet missions.
NASA's first mission patch would not follow for two years, but the practice would prove more sticky for missions in the United States and become a time-honored tradition.
The first NASA flight to produce a mission-specific patch worn by crew members was Gemini 5.
It flew in August 1965, carrying astronauts Gordon Cooper and Pete Conrad on an eight-day mission inside a small Gemini spacecraft. At the time, it was the longest spaceflight conducted by anyone.
Robert Pearlman has the story behind the patch at Collect Space, which came about because of the wishes of the crew. During the initial Mercury missions, the pilots were able to name their spacecraft—Freedom 7, Liberty Bell 7, and so on.
Cooper had named his Mercury spacecraft 'Faith 7.' But an increasingly buttoned-up NASA ended this practice for the Gemini missions, and when Cooper and Conrad were assigned to the third Gemini flight they considered alternatives.
"Several months before mission, I mentioned to Pete that I'd never been in a military organization that didn't have its own patch," Cooper recounted in Leap of Faith, his memoir. "We decided right then and there that we were at least going to have a patch for our flight."
They chose a covered wagon design to indicate the pioneering nature of the mission and came up with the "8 days or bust" slogan to highlight the extended duration of the flight.
Since then, virtually every NASA mission has included a patch design, typically with names of the crew members. The tradition has extended to non-human missions and has generally been adopted by space agencies around the world.
As such, there is a rich tradition of space mission patches to draw on, and we thought it would be fun to share some of our favorites over the decades.
Apollo 11
The first human mission to land on the Moon is one of the only NASA mission patches that does not include the names of the crew members, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins.
This was a deliberate choice by the crew, who wanted the world to understand they were traveling to the Moon for all of humanity.
Another NASA astronaut, Jim Lovell, suggested the bald eagle could be the focus of the patch. Collins traced the eagle from a National Geographic children's magazine, and an olive branch was added as a symbol of the mission's peaceful intent.
The result is a clear symbol of the United States leading humanity to another world. It is simple and powerful.
Skylab rescue mission
Skylab was NASA's first space station, and it was launched into orbit after the final Apollo lunar landing in 1972.
From May 1973 to February 1974, three different crews occupied the space station, which had been placed in orbit by a modified Saturn V rocket.
Due to some problems with leaky thrusters on the Apollo spacecraft that carried the second crew to Skylab in 1973, NASA scrambled to put together a 'rescue' mission as a contingency.
In this rescue scenario, astronauts Vance Brand and Don Lind would have flown to the station and brought Alan Bean, Jack Lousma, and Owen Garriott back inside an Apollo capsule especially configured for five people.
Ultimately, NASA decided that the crew could return to Earth in the faulty Apollo spacecraft, with the use of just half of the vehicle's thrusters. So Brand and Lind never flew the rescue mission. But we got a pretty awesome patch out of the deal.

>>278655
Space shuttle program
With the space shuttle, astronauts and patch artists had to get more creative because the vehicle flew so frequently—eventually launching 135 times. Some of my favorite patches from these flights came fairly early on in the program.
As it turns out, designing shuttle mission patches was a bonding exercise for crews after their assignments. Often one of the less experienced crew members would be given leadership of the project.
"During the Shuttle era, designing a mission emblem was one of the first tasks assigned to a newly formed crew of astronauts," Flag Research Quarterly reports.
"Within NASA, creation of the patch design was considered to be an important team-building exercise.
The crew understood that they were not just designing a patch to wear on their flight suits, but that they were also creating a symbol for everyone who was working on the flight."
In some cases the crews commissioned a well-known graphic designer or space artist to help them with their patch designs. More typically they worked with a graphic designer on staff at the Johnson Space Center to finalize the design.
National Reconnaissance Office
The activities of the US National Reconnaissance Office, which is responsible for the design and launching of spy satellites, are very often shrouded in secret.
However, the spy satellite agency cleverly uses its mission patches as an effective communications tool. The patches for the launch of its satellites never give away key details, but they are often humorous, ominous, and suggestive all at the same time.
The immediate response I often have to these patches is one of appreciation for the design, followed by a nervous chuckle. I suspect that's intended by the spy agency.
In any case, these are my choices for the best space patches ever, perhaps because they are developed with such abandon.
European Space Agency
The space agency that consists of a couple of dozen European nations has also created some banger patches over the years that both recognize the continent's long history of scientific discovery—with Newton, Kepler, Galileo, and Curie to name but a few—and the potential for future discovery in space.
Attached are some of my personal favorites, which highlight the launch of European astronauts on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to three different Russian space stations across three decades.
What I like about the European mission designs is that they are unique and not afraid to break from the traditional mold of patch design. They're also beautiful!
SpaceX mission patches
In recent years, some of the most creative patch designs have come from SpaceX and its crewed spaceflights aboard the Dragon vehicle. Because of the spacecraft's name, the missions have often played off the Dragon motif, making for some striking designs.
There is a dedicated community of patch collectors out there, and some of them were disappointed that SpaceX stopped designing patches for each individual Starlink mission a few years ago.
However, I would say that buying two or three patches a week would have gotten pretty expensive, pretty fast—not to mention the challenge designers would face in making unique patches for each flight.
If you read this far and want to know my preference, I am not much of a patch collector, as much as I admire the effort and artistry that goes into each design.
I have only ever bought one patch, the one designed for the Falcon 1 rocket's fourth flight. The patch isn't beautiful, but it's got some nice touches, including lights for both Kwajalein and Omelek islands, where the company launched its first rockets.
Also, it was the first time the company included a shamrock on the patch, and that proved fortuitous, as the successful launch in 2008 saved the company. It has become a trademark of SpaceX patches ever since.

Dick Morris to Newsmax: Trump Will Stop the Grift With H-1Bs
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/dick-morris-h-1b-visas-immigration/2024/12/28/id/1193190/
President-elect Donald Trump is setting a courseto keep the H-1B visa program honest and "stop the grift" in the program, political analyst Dick Morris told Newsmax Saturday.
Morris further said on Newsmax's "The Count" that he does not think there is a divide among conservatives concerning the program, which allows companies to hire foreign workers for employment in specialty occupations.
"I think Trump is just enforcing his will," Morris said. "That program has been rife with corruption ever since it started under the Clinton administration. [Alejandro] Mayorkas, the head of the immigration service, was literally working with Hillary's brother to get H-1B visas issued for a Chinese company that was producing weapons of mass destruction."
Trump said Saturday he supports keeping the program and appeared to agree with Elon Musk in the growing debate among conservatives on the issue.
"I've always liked the visas. I have always been in favor of the visas," Trump said about the program. "I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program."
Morris told Newsmax that the "program has not been honest from the beginning, and there is a strong vested interest in it."
He added that Trump is "cracking down" to make sure the program stays honest.
"We do need the program, because there are many people who we need in our business world who have this expertise and we don't have enough Americans to fill that," he said. "I think Trump is setting a course here to keep it honest and stop the grift, but at the same time, to increase the availability of these skilled workers in the U.S."

Note: This something anon thought was going on but did not want to admit it with ben habib, he is probably one of the best spoken high up members who left reform after farage came in leadership at the 2024 election.
brief summary, habib trashes reform and than states that the vetting for donations to the site can be done by anyone with a fake email and phone and he actually did it, so the numbers are not real, that that the ticker is not real, the donations are real but people with money are doing it. - what a betrayal.

Kemi Badenoch's feud with Reform escalates as Tory leader urges GB News boss to cut airtime for rival Nigel Farage after complaining broadcaster was 'offering a haven for my critics'
By BRENDAN CARLIN and GLEN OWEN
Published: 22:00, 28 December 2024 | Updated: 22:13, 28 December 2024
-—
Kemi Badenoch’s unprecedented feud with Nigel Farage escalated tonight over claims she urged the head of a television station to cut the airtime given to the Reform UK leader.
The Tory leader is said to have accused GB News of giving too much of a platform to her critics and raised the spectre of regulatory action.
The revelation comes amid the row over Mr Farage’s claim that his party has more members than the Tories, which Mrs Badenoch has branded fake.
Sources told The Mail on Sunday that the broadcaster’s chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos was called in to Westminster before Christmas for a chat with Mrs Badenoch – but during the meeting she made it clear GB News should not be ‘a haven for my critics’.
Mr Farage has a primetime show on the Right-wing channel, which also airs other programmes fronted by Reform figures, including chief whip Lee Anderson and former Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns – as well as Mrs Badenoch’s Tory colleague and former leadership rival Robert Jenrick.
Tonight both sides played down the suggestion that the encounter between Mrs Badenoch and Mr Frangopoulos was in any way acrimonious.
But allies of the Tory leader confirmed she had raised the regulatory implications of the blurring of Mr Farage’s roles as both politician and broadcaster.
And GB News sources admitted that the amount of airtime given to Mr Farage was highlighted.

Russia will scrap a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter range nuclear-capable missiles because the United States has deployed such weapons in various regions around the world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday.
Russia's move, long signaled, will kill off all that remains from one of the most significant arms control treaties of the Cold War, amid fears that the world's two biggest nuclear powers could be entering a new arms race together with China.
Russia and the United States, who both admit their relations are worse than at any time since the depths of the Cold War, have both expressed regret about the disintegration of the tangle of arms control treaties which sought to slow the arms race and reduce the risk of nuclear war.
Asked by state news agency RIA if Russia could withdraw from the New START treaty before its expiry in February 2026, Lavrov said that there were currently "no conditions" for a strategic dialog with Washington.
"Today it is clear that, for example, our moratorium on the deployment of short- and intermediate-range missiles is no longer practically viable and will have to be abandoned," Lavrov said.
"The U.S. has arrogantly ignored the warnings of Russia and China and in practice has moved on to the deployment of weapons of this class in various regions of the world."
The Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in 1987, marked the first time the superpowers had agreed to reduce their nuclear arsenals and eliminated a whole category of nuclear weapons.
The United States under former President Donald Trump formally withdrew from the INF Treaty in 2019 after saying that Moscow was violating the accord, an accusation the Kremlin repeatedly denied and dismissed as a pretext.
Russia then imposed a moratorium on its own development of missiles previously banned by the INF treaty - ground-based ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of 500 km to 5,500 km (310 miles to 3,417 miles).
Trump in 2018 said he wanted to terminate the INF Treaty because of what he said were years of Russian violations and his concerns about China’s intermediate-range missile arsenal.
The United States publicly blamed Russia's development of the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile, known in NATO as the SSC-8, as the reason for it leaving the INF Treaty.
In his moratorium proposal, Putin suggested Russia could agree not to deploy the missiles in its Baltic coast exclave of Kaliningrad. Since leaving the pact, the United States has tested missiles with a similar profile.
Russia fired a new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile known as "Oreshnik," or Hazel Tree, at Ukraine on Nov. 21 in what Putin said was a direct response to strikes on Russia by Ukrainian forces with U.S. and British missiles.

Charles Dolan, HBO and Cablevision Founder, Dies at 98
https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/charles-dolan-dies-obituary-hbo-cablevision/2024/12/29/id/1193208/
Charles F. Dolan, who founded some of the most prominent U.S. media companies including Home Box Office Inc. and Cablevision Systems Corp., has died at age 98, according to a news report.
A statement issued Saturday by his family said Dolan died of natural causes, Newsday reported late Saturday.
“It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved father and patriarch, Charles Dolan, the visionary founder of HBO and Cablevision,” the statement said.
Dolan's legacy in cable broadcasting includes the 1972 launch of Home Box Office, later known as HBO, and founding Cablevision in 1973 and the American Movie Classics television station in 1984. He also launched News 12 in New York City, the first 24-hour cable channel for local news in the U.S., Newsday reported.
The Cleveland native, who dropped out of John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland, completed the sale of Cablevision to Altice, a European telecommunications and cable company, for $17.7 billion in June 2016.
Dolan, whose primary home was in Cove Neck Village on Long Island in New York, also held controlling stakes in companies that owned Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers, Newsday reported.
James L. Dolan, one of his sons, was the Cablevision CEO from 1995 until the 2016 sale to Altice. He now is the executive chairman and CEO of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. The company owns the Knicks and Rangers franchises, among other properties, according to the MSG Sports website.
Newsday, which Cablevision purchased in 2008, also came under the control of Altice with the sale. Patrick Dolan, another son of Charles Dolan, led a group that repurchased 75% of Newsday Media Group in July 2016. Patrick Dolan then purchased the remaining 25% stake in 2018.
At the time of his death, Charles Dolan and his family had a net worth of $5.4 billion, Forbes reported.
Dolan was a founder and chairman emeritus of The Lustgarten Foundation in Uniondale, New York, which conducts pancreatic cancer research.
He is survived by six children, 19 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. His wife, Helen Ann Dolan, died in 2023, Newsday reported.

Abortions are up in the US. It's a complicated picture as women turn to pills, travel==1/2
(This is sad, but it would be sadder if it wasn't the majority leftists wanting it)
GEOFF MULVIHILL and KEVIN S. VINEYS
Updated Sat, December 28, 2024 at 12:25 PM EST
Abortion has become slightly more common despite bans or deep restrictions in most Republican-controlled states, and the legal and political fights over its future are not over yet.
It's now been two and a half years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the door for states to implement bans.
The policies and their impact have been in flux ever since the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Here's a look at data on where things stand:
Abortions are slightly more common now than before Dobbs
Overturning Roe and enforcing abortion bans has changed how woman obtain abortions in the U.S.
But one thing it hasn't done is put a dent in the number of abortions being obtained.
There have been slightly more monthly abortions across the country recently than there were in the months leading up to the June 2022 ruling, even as the number in states with bans dropped to near zero.
“Abortion bans don’t actually prevent abortions from happening,” said Ushma Upadhyay, a public health social scientist at the University of California San Francisco.
But, she said, they do change care.
For women in some states, there are major obstacles to getting abortions — and advocates say that low-income, minority and immigrant women are least likely to be able to get them when they want.
For those living in states with bans, the ways to access abortion are through travel or abortion pills.
Pills become a bigger part of equation — and the legal questions
As the bans swept in, abortion pills became a bigger part of the equation.
They were involved in about half the abortions before Dobbs.More recently, it’s been closer to two-thirds of them, according to research by the Guttmacher Institute.
The uptick of that kind of abortion, usually involving a combination of two drugs, was underway before the ruling.
But now, it's become more common for pill prescriptions to be made by telehealth. By the summer of 2024, about 1 in 10 abortions was via pills prescribed via telehealth to patients in states where abortion is banned.
As a result, the pills are now at the center of battles over abortion access.
This month, Texas sued a New York doctor for prescribing pills to a Texas woman via telemedicine. There's also an effort by Idaho, Kansas and Missouri to roll back their federal approvals and treat them as “controlled dangerous substances,” and a push for the federal government to start enforcing a 19th-century federal law to ban mailing them.
Travel for abortion has increased
Clinics have closed or halted abortions in states with bans.
But a network of efforts to get women seeking abortions to places where they're legal has strengthened and travel for abortion is now common.
The Guttmacher Institute found that more than twice as many Texas residents obtained abortion in 2023 in New Mexico as New Mexico residents did. And as many Texans received them in Kansas as Kansans.
Abortion funds, which benefitted from “rage giving” in 2022, have helped pay the costs for many abortion-seekers. But some funds have had to cap how much they can give.
The abortion map has been in flux
Since the downfall of Roe, the actions of lawmakers and courts have kept shifting where abortion is legal and under what conditions.
Here's where it stands now:
The ban that took eff ect in Florida this year has been a game-changer
Florida, the nation’s third most-populous state, began enforcing a ban on abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy on May 1.
That immediately changed the state from one that was a refuge for other Southerners seeking abortion to an exporter of people looking for them.

There were about 30% fewer abortions there in May compared with the averagefor the first three months of the year. And in June, there were 35% fewer.
While the ban is not unique, the impact is especially large. The average driving time from Florida to a facility in North Carolina where abortion is available for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is more than nine hours, according to data maintained by Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor.
Clinics have opened or expanded in some places
The bans have meant clinics closed or stopped offering abortions in some states.
But some states where abortion remains legal until viability – generally considered to be sometime past 21 weeks of pregnancy, though there’s no fixed time for it – have seen clinics open and expand.
Illinois, Kansas and New Mexico are among the states with new clinics.
There were 799 publicly identifiable abortion providers in the U.S. in May 2022, the month before the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. And by this November, it was 792, according to a tally by Myers, who is collecting data on abortion providers.
But Myers says some hospitals that always provided some abortions have begun advertising it. So they’re now in the count of clinics – even though they might provide few of them.
Lack of access to abortions during emergencies is threatening some patients' lives
How hospitals handle pregnancy complications, especially those that threaten the lives of the women, has emerged as a major issue since Roe was overturned.
President Joe Biden's administration says hospitals must offer abortions when they're needed to prevent organ loss, hemorrhage or deadly infections, even in states with bans. Texas is challenging the administration’s policy and the U.S. Supreme Court this year declined to take it up after the Biden administration sued Idaho.
More than 100 pregnant women seeking help in emergency rooms and were turned away or left unstable since 2022, The Associated Press found in an analysis of federal hospital investigative records.
Among the complaints were a woman who miscarried in the lobby restroom of Texas emergency room after staff refused to see her and a woman who gave birth in a car after a North Carolina hospital couldn't offer an ultrasound. The baby later died.
“It is increasingly less safe to be pregnant and seeking emergency care in an emergency department,” Dara Kass, an emergency medicine doctor and former U.S. Health and Human Services official told the AP earlier this year.
Abortion rights are popular with voters
Since Roe was overturned, there have been 18 reproductive rights-related statewide ballot questions.
Abortion rights advocates have prevailed on 14 of them and lost on four.
In the 2024 election, they amended the constitutions in five states to add the right to abortion. Such measures failed in three states: In Florida, where it required 60% support; in Nebraska, which had competing abortion ballot measures; and in South Dakota, where most national abortion rights groups did support the measure.
AP VoteCast data found that more than three-fifths of voters in 2024 supported abortion being legal in all or most cases – a slight uptick from 2020.The support came even as voters supported Republicans to control the White House and both houses of Congress. (I don't believe this poll)

Finally, An Electric Minivan With Six Wheels That Launches A Drone
Dec 29, at 10:00am ET
These days, buyers all over the world have more and better choices for going electric.
But one thing has been sorely missing until now: a six-wheeled EV minivan that can also launch its own people-carrying electric drone aircraft.
Finally, Xpeng AeroHT, an affiliate of Chinese electric car maker Xpeng, is giving the people what they want.
Xpeng AeroHT will bring its modular flying car concept to the United States.
Dubbed the Land Aircraft Carrier, it’s essentially a six-wheeled minivan that houses a separate foldable drone in the back.
The modular vehicle will appear at the CES tech trade show in Las Vegas in January.
It’s a pretty big deal, and it shows that the Chinese company is serious about its flying vehicle efforts.
Will it ever be sold stateside? We don’t know, but it’s a strong indication that Xpeng AeroHT, which claims it’s the largest flying car company in Asia, is thinking about it. But what is this Land Aircraft Carrier thing, anyway?
For starters, it’s not exactly what futurists envisioned flying cars would look like–as in, a car that you can also use as a flying vehicle. Instead, it’s two separate vehicles bundled together.
The base, called the Mothership, is a six-wheeled extended-range minivan. It has a combustion engine at the front which sends power to the car’s battery and electric motors.
It can also recharge the batteries of the people-carrying drone that sits in the back.
The flying part of Xpeng’s modular concept seats two and can be deployed at the push of a button.
The rotor arms need to be extended after it has been taken out of the van, but after that, the pilot can fly the thing either from inside or outside, using a remote control.
Xpeng AeroHT claims the six-rotor electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft can be flown with a single hand thanks to its innovative single-lever control system, and that it takes just five minutes to learn how to fly–and three hours to master it.
The battery of the aircraft can supposedly be charged from 30% to 80% in 18 minutes. With a full battery, it supports five to six flights, but the company didn’t say how long these flights would last.
The first unmanned public flight of the six-rotor electric drone happened in China last month. Xpeng AeroHT said production and deliveries will start sometime in 2026, with a planned output of 10,000 units per year.
The Land Aircraft Carrier will cost up to $280,000 (2 million yuan) in China, and the company claims it has already received over 2,000 pre-orders.

Democrats taunt Trump with ‘President Musk’ moniker
BY ALEX GANGITANO AND MIKE LILLIS 12/29/24
The Democrats stupid "Divide and Conquer" childish scheme. ==1/2
Democrats are taunting President-elect Trump with claims that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is calling the shots instead of the incoming president.
And with Musk set to play a major role in Trump’s second term — both as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and a close presidential ally — it remains to be seen if the moniker of “President Musk” will cause a rift between the famously mercurial incoming president and the richest man in the world. (Are you kidding me?)
Lawmakers began the effort after Musk helped kill a bipartisan spending agreement that had taken months to work out.
Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) noted that Musk launched the public opposition campaign long before Trump issued his own statement critical of the deal, suggesting Musk compelled the president-elect to intervene, even if he had no previous designs to do so. “Elon Musk dives in, and I think forces Trump to dive in,” Bera said.
That power dynamic, Bera added, could spell trouble in the future, as two of the most powerful figures in the world— while aligned for the moment — might be headed for a messy divorce if or when their interests and egos collide.
“What we learned from former President Trump is that he doesn’t want to share the spotlight with anyone, so what does that look like?” Bera asked.
Musk was tasked with leading DOGE in order to find ways to make government more efficient and to cut waste. But his role appears to be growing as he involves himself in government funding fights, joins key meetings with Trump and shares his opinion on top issues, like calling for “some basic cognitive test for elected officials” after the news broke that Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) has had health challenges that kept her away from the Capitol for months.
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who served as the second-ranking Democrat for two decades, is among the lawmakers who’s now referring to the billionaire entrepreneur as “President Musk.”
“We had an agreement that was jointly reached,” Hoyer said during the chaotic stalemate last week, “and that monkey wrench was put in there by 50 or 100 tweets by Musk that turned the Republicans around.”
Trump and Musk have had a close relationship since before the election and appear to still be on good terms, despite the power dynamic that has led some to claim the tech tycoon is in charge.

Political watchers have wondered when the relationship between the two big personalities will go sour and even some Republicans assume a rift is inevitable, especially with Musk working closely with the Trump team as he takes on DOGE.
“I assume at some point there’ll be a rift because history tells us…most people do not last a long time in Trump’s world. Maybe, Musk will people defy that but history tells us that that’s not the case,” GOP strategist Doug Heye said.
Heye called the Democrats’ efforts to get under Trump’s skin by labeling Musk as president “just trolling” and argued it’s “not always effective.”
A Trump spokesperson fired back at Democrats, saying the party “just lost the House, Senate, and presidency because their abysmal policy proposals failed Americans for the past four years.”
“Democrats have nothing but ad-hominem attacks because they lost everything,” Trump-Vance Transition spokesperson Anna Kelly added.
Among Democrats who are propping up Musk with the faux title of president, there seem to be different motivations.
Some said they think it simply reflects the reality of who’s truly in charge, and they’re hoping to shine a bright light on the extraordinary fact that an unelected figure has assumed so much power over public policy.
“The fact speaks for itself: The one that first disrupted the bill was Musk, and the one that helped pay for the presidency was Musk, and the one that has been in front of Trump— and that’s hard to do— has been Musk,” Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) said. “So it’s clear to me that there’s some kind of coalition between the two of them on what is the best way to run the country.”
Meeks suggested Trump would be easier to work with without Musk’s intervention in policy debates. “That probably would be helpful,” he said.
Still, there’s also a sense that the Democrats’ “President Musk” campaign is part of a political strategy designed to drive a wedge between the billionaire, who plays by his own rules, and the incoming president, who demands loyalty and doesn’t have much tolerance for challenges to his authority.
Most might not be saying it out loud, but some lawmakers suggestedthat was at least part of the objective.
Asked if Democrats were trying to incite that clash, Bera was coy.“We would never do anything like that,==” he quipped.
Democrats piled on the Musk taunts in the midst of the impasse over government funding, which was solved just before the deadline on Friday. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) argued Musk “pulled the rug out from underneath” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) argued that Musk “is calling the shots.”
Former Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), who called Musk Trump’s “second vice president,” called the degree of influence the South African-born billionaire has as an unelected official “unprecedented.”
Pretty amazing they had a fake president and the staff running things, but criticizing Trump for having an advisor?

Drones attacked Rostov region: Locomotive depot damaged
Sun, December 29, 2024 - 14:27
Russia reports a drone attack in the Rostov region, damaging a locomotive depot in Salsk, according to Rostov Governor Yuri Slyusar and the ASTRA Telegram channel.
According to the Russian governor, the attack by the UAV in Salsk caused "minor damage to the structure at the locomotive depot."
"There was no fire at the crash site. Preliminary reports indicate that no one was injured. Emergency services have arrived at the scene," Slyusar reported.
Later, he clarified that another UAV was reportedly shot down near Salsk. Footage of the drone flying over Salsk has already been shared online.
As reported, recently the Ukrainian Air Forces targeted a facility in the Rostov region. The plant is involved in the production of fuel for ballistic missiles.
Additionally, on the night of December 19, several cities in the Rostov region were subjected to a massive drone and missile attack.
Allegedly, the occupiers' air defense forces shot down the strike drones and missiles.

WATCH WHO chief escape Israeli airstrike
Tedros Ghebreyesus was in Yemen’s airport when it was hit by the IDF
The head of the UN’s global health watchdog said he narrowly escaped death when Israel struck the airport in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Thursday.
World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Ghebreyesus visited the civil-war torn country to negotiate the release of UN workers held by the Houthis rebels who control Sanaa. Israeli jets struck the airport as the UN team was about to board their plane.
Security camera footage posted by Ghebreyesus shows the WHO chief being quickly escorted by his team from the airport lounge, as well as a strike on a control tower.
“It was very chaotic. People were in disarray and running everywhere and no shelter: we were completely exposed,” Ghebreyesus told reporters after returning to Switzerland on Saturday, as quoted by AFP.
“It’s a matter of luck. Otherwise, if the missile deviated just slightly, it could have been on our heads… my colleague actually said after all that, we escaped death narrowly.”
In a post on X, Ghebreyesus thanked everyone for the words of support. “I’m especially grateful to the colleagues and airport staff, who were selfless as they tried to protect me,” he said.
Julien Harneis, the UN’s coordinator for Yemen, said that a UN worker was injured with shrapnel. “I saw his blood on the tarmac this morning as we said goodbye to Tedros,” he said on Friday.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted airstrikes in response to Houthi missile attacks on Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. According to the IDF, the Houthis were using the country’s airport and seaports to smuggle weapons from Iran.

Elon Musk Says “Hateful, Unrepentant Racists” MAGA Should Be Removed from the Republican Party “Root and Stem” as Debate Over H-1B Visas Intensifies
In a recent escalation of the internal Republican Party debate over H-1B visas, tech magnate Elon Musk has called for the expulsion of “hateful, unrepentant racists” from the party.
This statement comes amid rising tensions between Silicon Valley leaders and certain factions of the MAGA movement regarding the employment of highly skilled foreign workers.
The controversy centers on the appointment of Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-American entrepreneur, as a senior policy advisor on artificial intelligence in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.
Krishnan’s selection has drawn criticism from the MAGA movement, notably Laura Loomer, who accused Indian immigrants of “stealing jobs” and labeled them as “third-world invaders.”
Laura Loomer then claimed that she was suspended for 12 hours on X after a heated exchange with the platform’s billionaire owner, Elon Musk
Musk, a staunch advocate for merit-based immigration, defended Krishnan and condemned the racist rhetoric.
Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, responded to a statement from Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden’s director of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council.
"MAGA is taking a page from Democrats on how to lose elections while feeling good about themselves," Adams wrote.
Tanden had earlier shared her perspective, saying: "I am an Indian American who was born here and it's crystal clear that the Democratic Party sees me as American and a large part of the base of the Republican Party does not. I hope Indian Americans remember this moment at the next election. They don't see you as one of them. And never will. You thought they just hated other immigrants. But it turns out there's no exception for you. As many of us have been telling you."

Elon Musk also weighed in, posting: "Yes. And those contemptible fools must be removed from the Republican Party, root and stem."
Musk clarified his comments, adding, "The “contemptible fools” I’m referring to are those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists. They will absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed."

Musk previously wrote, “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”
He added, “Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”

On Saturday, President-elect Donald J. Trump weighed in on the debate over the controversial H-1B visa worker program that has roiled his MAGA supporters this week after comments by Trump allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in support of the foreign worker program.
The debate has caused a fracture in Trump’s 2024 election coalition, with avid Trump supporter Laura Loomer apparently being penalized on the Musk-owned X over her criticism of Musk and immigrant worker visas, and former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon speaking out against Musk and Ramaswamy.
Trump spoke to New York Post reporter Jon Levine by phone, telling him he supports H-1B (excerpt):
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.

Russia Deploys New Anti-Drone Buggies on the Battlefield
Dec 29, 2024
In response to the growing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Russian forces have introduced a new counter-drone system designed to neutralize aerial threats.
The system, which features a 24-barrel shotgun-like weapon mounted on a modified 4×4 Lada Niva chassis, reflects a shift in tactical thinking to counter the rising use of drones for both reconnaissance and attacks.
The vehicle’s key feature is a remotely operated turret with 24 shotgun barrels, configured to fire buckshot-like ammunition.
This unique setup is designed to create a wide impact area, making it effective against low-flying drones.
The system’s large spread maximizes the chances of hitting a drone, especially in close-range combat.
To further bolster its defensive capabilities, the vehicle is equipped with six AK-12 rifles, which provide an additional layer of protection from aerial threats.
These anti-drone buggies are primarily used to patrol high-risk areas, such as frontlines and strategic installations.
Their mobility allows them to respond quickly to incoming drone strikes, whether in urban settings or rural battlefields. However, the system’s effectiveness is not without limitations.
The shotgun setup’s range is limited, and its performance against high-altitude or fast-moving drones is reduced.
Additionally, reloading the 24-barrel weapon can be a slow process, potentially hindering its use in prolonged engagements or against large swarms of drones.
In addition to kinetic countermeasures, Russian forces, like their Ukrainian counterparts, have been exploring electronic warfare tools to disrupt drone communications and navigation.
This multi-layered approach reflects the rapidly evolving nature of drone warfare, as both sides adapt their strategies in response to each other’s technological advancements.
Looking ahead, the development of anti-drone systems is expected to continue, with a focus on improving range, accuracy, and speed of response.
As drone and counter-drone technology advances, military forces worldwide will likely invest in more versatile, deployable systems to stay ahead in this high-tech arms race.

Major meat suppliers in the USA CAUGHT using GLUE on MEAT to stick together scraps and fraudulently sell them as PRIME CUTS
Fraudulent meat suppliers are using meat muscle scraps and toxic glue to create fake prime cuts, deceiving consumers and putting their health at risk.
The toxic powder, transglutaminase enzyme, is made from cultivating bacteria and animal blood, raising concerns about its safety and potential health impacts.
Meat glue is not limited to beef but is also used in pork, lamb, fish, and chicken, compounding health risks for consumers.
The deceptive practices extend to labeling, with glued meat products often ambiguously labeled, leading to unknowing consumption by consumers.
Urgent action is needed to address the fraudulent use of meat glue, protect consumers, and ensure transparency and safety in the food industry.
Fraudulent meat suppliers are using meat muscle scraps and literally glueing them together to make them look like prime cuts, then selling them for top prices to unsuspecting consumers, who then swallow the toxic meat, if they can even chew it, and get sick. This is poisonous glue used to bind together parts of the animal most people would never buy or eat. Surprise, surprise. Welcome to Big Food of America, where it’s all about the money, and never about the health of the consumer.
The fake steak makers call the meat glue a “special enzyme” while they wear protective masks so they won’t breathe in the fumes from the poisonous glue. One of these fake steak makers was caught on video telling an interested party that it’s dangerous and “don’t breathe that in” when he spreads the toxic enzyme powder on the muscle tissue chunks of animal carcass.
Fake steak makers should be sued, prosecuted, and put out of business for good, but the FDA in America is so corrupt, they’re probably “in on it” too
The toxic powder is called transglutaminase enzyme made by cultivating bacteria and from a coagulant from the blood of animals that causes blood to clot. So, do humans who eat this meat glue get blood clots? No research has been done on this because the FDA doesn’t care. As long as it makes the meat industry more money, that’s all that matters in the USA. “Meat glue, it’s what’s for dinner!”
This meat glue is being used for more than just beef, meat glue is being mixed into pork, lamb, fish and chicken parts. Add this in with spike proteins that are now being created inside animals that are injected with mRNA jabs, and you’ve got a health nightmare happening to every person who eats conventional meat.
Thanks to the Alliance for Natural Health-USA (ANH-USA), the dark truth behind "meat glue" has been uncovered, raising serious concerns about the fraud and toxicity associated with this deceptive practice. Meat glue is banned in Europe, by the way. Of course, the FDA calls it GRAS, which stands for generally regarded as safe, even though it is not.
The ANH-USA has sounded the alarm on the dangers of meat glue, emphasizing the toxic nature of this enzyme. Not only is meat glue made from the blood plasma of pigs and cows, but it also poses significant health risks to consumers. The enzyme is so toxic that workers handling it must wear masks to prevent inhalation.
Furthermore, the deceptive labeling of meat products formed with glue adds another layer of concern. While supermarkets are required to label such products vaguely as "formed from pieces of whole muscle meat," the restaurant industry often serves glued steaks without disclosure to customers.
The implications of consuming glued meat go beyond deception. Pathogens present on the surface of different meat cuts can contaminate the entire glued steak, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Additionally, individuals may develop immune reactivity to meat glue, potentially triggering autoimmune disorders.
As the new administration led by Trump and RFK Jr. prepares to take office in January, urgent action is needed to address this fraudulent and hazardous practice. It is imperative that measures are taken to halt the use of meat glue and protect consumers from the risks associated with its consumption.
Stay informed, stay vigilant, and demand transparency in the food industry to ensure the safety and integrity of the food on your plate. The time to put an end to the meat glue deception is now.

Drones Armed with Shotguns Take Down russian UAVs
December 29, 2024
Ukrainian forces have adopted a new tactic in combating hostile unmanned aerial vehicles.
Russian sources shared footage on social media showing Ukrainian Defense Forces using FPV drones equipped with shotguns to neutralize enemy UAVs.
This is how russian drones were destroyed using this weapon combination:
In the first two short but compelling clips, the footage shows a precise shot as the Ukrainian FPV drone approaches the enemy UAV, successfully shooting it down.
The emergence of several successful episodes of using FPV drones with shotguns suggests that Ukrainian forces may have moved past the testing phase and are now collaborating with developers to scale up this technology.
While the extent of deployment and actual efficiency rate of FPV drones with shotguns remain unclear, this approach has already demonstrated its potential by ensuring accurate shooting against aerial targets.
The operator's skill also plays a critical role in this success. This isn’t the first time Ukrainian forces have successfully modified FPV drones with unconventional weapons.
Previously, they used FPV drones equipped with grenade launchers on the battlefield. Currently, anti-aircraft FPV drones are considered a significant innovation in the fight against UAVs.
As of late November, a single project involving such drones has accounted for the destruction of over 400 russian UAVs, including Orlan, Zala, and Lancet loitering munitions.
If the shotgun-equipped FPV drones are successfully scaled, they could dramatically increase the number of enemy drones shot down, offering a highly effective countermeasure against hostile UAVs.

Trump border czar considering military bases to aid deportations: ‘Certainly on the table’
President-elect Donald Trump‘s border czar considers the U.S. military to be a “force multiplier“ in the soon-to-launch mass deportations of millions of illegal aliens and he wants to use Pentagon bases and planes to speed such operations.
“It’s something that’s certainly on the table,” Homan told The Wall Street Journal. “We’re waiting to see what Congress is going to give us for funding.”
There is precedent for enlisting military help on immigration matters, as both President Barack Obama and Joe Biden use military bases to house unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the border illegally without their parents. Biden also used military installations to house Afghan refugees.
Military assets under federal law could not be used to arrest illegal immigrants, but they could provide assistance after aliens are taken into custody by caring for them at bases or shipping them back to their home country.
Trump has said he will declare a national emergency on immigration his first day in office, empowering his administration to tap money from the Pentagon in addition to any monies that Congress might appropriate.
Homan told the Journal he views the military as a “force multiplier” that could help with transportation, administrative duties, intelligence analysis and building infrastructure.
Homan said he hopes to have a better sense soon about how much money the Trump administration will need from Congress for securing the border and launching the mass deportations

Dear Huma,
As I explained on the phone, we've hit a brick wall in trying to get a visa for my son to travel to
India. We are scheduled to leave on Saturday, December 26, but without a visa he of course cannot go and I will not go
without him. My visa has been issued by Travisa Outsourcing, the company to which the Government of India has
outsourced all visa processing. However, despite the fact that Travisa does all of India's visa processing, and ordinarily
does it on a same-day basis, their office here in Washington, DC (located in Georgetown) refused to process my son's
visa application because he is a California resident and they are organized so that their various offices (New York,
Washington, San Francisco, Chicago, and
Houston) issue visas only for residents of the immediate vicinity of the particular office. Thus, for example, the
Washington office issues visas for residents of Delaware, Washington, DC, Maryland, West Virginia, and the like, but will
not process visas for residents beyond this area. The New York office, likewise, processes visas only for residents of New
York, New Jersey, CT, and the like, but not Washington. My son of course has a valid US passport, but the visa
requirements also require proof of residence, and because his driver's license is a California license (because that is his
residence), Travisa Outsourcing said they could not process his visa application.

Turns out, it wasn't a bird sucked into the engine after all...
Crashed Azerbaijani plane hit from ground – president
The passenger jet had also been rendered inoperable by electronic warfare means, Ilham Aliyev has claimed
The passenger jet that crashed in Kazakhstan earlier this week had been struck from the ground near the Russian city of Grozny, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev has claimed.
An Embraer 190, operating as Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243 from Baku to Grozny, diverted to Kazakhstan and crashed on Wednesday, killing 38 of the 67 people on board.
In a Sunday interview with the state-run broadcaster AzTV, Aliyev claimed that the aircraft “was damaged from the outside on Russian territory, near the city of Grozny, and almost got out of control.”
“We are also aware that our aircraft was rendered uncontrollable by electronic warfare means... In addition, the tail section of the plane was severely damaged by fire from the ground,” he said.
Aliyev noted that the exact circumstances of the crash would become known after the data from flight recorders is accessed. However, he insisted that the preliminary versions of the incident “are well founded and based on facts.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin called Aliyev on Saturday to express his condolences over the deadly plane crash, the Kremlin said in a statement. He offered an apology to his Azeri counterpart for the fact that the incident, which he attributed to a Ukrainian UAV raid, “took place in Russian airspace.”
Grozny, the capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, as well as other cities in the region, “were being attacked by Ukrainian combat drones at the time, and Russian air defenses were repelling those attacks,” the statement read.
Russia’s Investigative Committee is probing the incident for possible violations of air traffic safety rules, with “civilian and military specialists” in the country being questioned, the Kremlin said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists that Putin and Aliyev held another phone call on Sunday, during which the two leaders continued to discuss issues related to the tragic incident.

==Some Justice Department Lawyers
Look for Protection—and the Exits==
Officials who worked on politically
sensitive cases weigh moves ahead of Donald Trump’s second term WSJ.1/2
By Sadie Gurman C. Ryan Barber
Dec. 29, 2024 5:00 am ET
President-elect Donald Trump and his appointees are floating plans to bring the Justice Department under closer presidential control and fire career employees.
WASHINGTON—Justice Department lawyers who have angered President-elect Donald Trump and his allies are facing tough decisions about whether to stay in government—and how to best protect themselves from threats of retribution after Inauguration Day.
Dozens of prosecutors and agents have worked on cases that potentially make them vulnerable, such as special counsel investigations of Trump, prosecutions of hundreds of his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and contempt-of-Congress cases that sent top Trump associatesSteve Bannon and Peter Navarro to prison this year.
Their concerns are part of a broader wave of uncertainty that has swept through the Justice Department since Trump’s re-election, as he and his appointees openly float plans to fire career employees and bring the department more closely under presidential control.
Some department lawyers on the fence about leaving have sought counsel from Attorney General Merrick Garland and other senior officials, who have encouraged them to stay on for continuity of government and for their expertise, people familiar with the discussions said.
Law firms say they have seen an unprecedented flood of résumés from department lawyers looking for the exits. While presidential transitions always upend the ranks of political appointees, “now, it’s seeping into a lot of career people,” said Steve Nelson, a legal recruiter who helps lawyers make the jump from government into the private sector.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, shown addressing the Justice Department workforce in September, has encouraged department lawyers to remain for continuity of government and for their expertise.
“The number of people leaving, or looking at opportunities outside the Justice Department or elsewhere in the government, is way higher than it’s ever been before,” Nelson said.
Some Justice Department officials who might not have gone into private practice are now considering jobs at big firms as the best way to personally protect themselves.
One problem: There aren’t enough Big Law landing spots for all the attorneys eager for private practice. Some who sent out résumés have since decided to stay, unwilling or unable to give up their dream government jobs right away, department employees said.
Others have sought legal guidance from friends and private lawyers in preparation for the ways the next Trump administration and its supporters could make their lives difficult whether or not they leave the government,from potential harassment to investigations that could hurt them legally and financially for years.(like you assholes did to Americans? Wow)
At the center of the storm is special counsel Jack Smith and his team, some of whom are expected to leave, people close to them said, rather than return to department positions they held before being detailed to investigate and prosecute Trump for election interference and mishandling classified documents. Smith last month dropped both cases, citing longstanding Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. (Smith is not even a government employee!)
Jack Smith, the U.S. special counsel who led the prosecutions of Donald Trump over election interference and mishandling of documents, is at the center of the uncertainty.
Smith still has to submit a report of the investigations to Garland, who has promised to make it public. That could further increase tensions with the incoming administration, but the report is likely to add little beyond the information that has already been made public, people familiar with it said.
A spokesman for Smith declined to comment. A Trump transition spokesman didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Trump’s surrogates and nominees have voiced a series of warnings.

“Career Justice Department lawyers must be fully committed to implementing President Trump’s policies or they should leave or be fired,” Mark Paoletta, who worked on Trump’s Justice Department transition team, said in a series of social-media posts after the election.
If confirmed, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, would lead the department after emerging as one of its leading critics since Trump was indicted.
“The Department of Justice, the prosecutors, will be prosecuted, the bad ones,” Bondi said on Fox News last year. “The investigators will be investigated.…We can clean house next term, and that’s what has to happen.”
Pam Bondi, center, Trump’s pick for attorney general, emerged as a leading critic of the Justice Department after he was indicted.
Kash Patel, the hard-line conservative provocateur Trump wants to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has made similar statements, pledging to hollow out the bureau’s ranks.
Exhaustive congressional inquiries could provide another avenue for Trump and his allies to exact a measure of payback. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have already told Smith’s team to retain all their records and communications.
Since Trump’s election,a loose network of sympathetic lawyers has formed in preparation for defending Smith’s teamand other officials who may face scrutiny from the Trump administration. Attorneys started calling friends and colleagues in the weeks after Trump was re-elected to see who would be willing to volunteer, people familiar with the effort said.
Civil service rules offer career employees some protection against being outright fired, andsome lawyers see the chances of them being dismissed—or even prosecuted—as remote.
“We can’t fall down before we get hit. We can’t be hysterical,” said William Taylor, a defense lawyer familiar with efforts to recruit attorneys for government officials. “They’re going to make life unpleasant for some people,but actual consequences to people are really unlikely.”

These lawyers always get off for their crimes, but not this time. They seriously underestimate the terribly illegal things they did to all Americans and President Trump,and how pissed off that we would be, if they let these criminals off the hook.

2024 Trafficking in Persons Report: Hong Kong
The Government of Hong Kong does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking but is making significant efforts to do so. These efforts included increasing the number of screenings of vulnerable populations for trafficking indicators, arresting six alleged sex traffickers, and training officials from various agencies on anti-trafficking topics. However, the government did not demonstrate overall increasing efforts compared with the previous reporting period. It did not convict any sex traffickers and did not convict any labor traffickers for the fifth consecutive year. Victim identification efforts and services remained inadequate. Despite the government screening thousands of vulnerable persons for trafficking indicators, it identified only three victims, a decrease compared with identifying 32 victims during the previous reporting period. The government did not provide services to any victims. Foreign domestic workers remained at high risk of trafficking, and authorities did not take adequate measures to protect them and prevent trafficking; the government did not identify any victims among foreign domestic workers. A code of practice is in place; however, the government allowed employers and labor recruiters to charge recruitment fees to migrant workers, and did not adequately enforce limits on such fees, passport retention, and other practices that increase trafficking risks. Authorities likely penalized trafficking victims through arrest and deportation for immigration, narcotics, and commercial sex offenses committed as a direct result of being trafficked. The government did not fully criminalize all forms of trafficking and did not provide comprehensive data of successful trafficking investigations, prosecutions, or victim identification efforts independent of associated criminal investigations. Therefore Hong Kong was downgraded to Tier 2 Watch List.
PRIORITIZED RECOMMENDATIONS:
Improve the quality of screenings conducted to identify trafficking victims, increasingly screen individuals in commercial sex and foreign domestic workers for trafficking, and ensure children exploited in commercial sex are identified as trafficking victims and referred to services. * Enact legislation that criminalizes all forms of trafficking consistent with the definition set forth in the 2000 UN TIP Protocol. * Ensure authorities offer and refer trafficking victims to services. * Vigorously investigate and prosecute suspected sex and labor traffickers and seek adequate penalties for convicted traffickers, which should involve significant prison terms. * Engage in continuous and regular collaboration with NGOs and social welfare experts to update anti-trafficking policies; review victim-centered interview processes and investigations. * Cease penalization of victims for criminal offenses committed as a direct result of being trafficked. * Create in-depth training programs for the judiciary, labor tribunal, and other interagency stakeholders. * Develop formal SOPs for referring victims to care and train stakeholders on their use. * Increase the availability and quality of protection services – including short-term shelter, long-term housing, counseling, and medical care – for all trafficking victims, including by partnering with and allocating sufficient funding and/or in-kind support to civil society service providers. * Allow foreign victims to work and study in Hong Kong while participating in judicial proceedings against traffickers. * Increase protections for foreign domestic workers, including by prohibiting worker-charged recruitment fees, permanently eliminating the “two-week rule” affording workers an option to live outside their place of employment, and creating legal maximum working hours.
