Light Duty Day Amid Space Research and Crew Swap Preps

July 9, 2025

A portion of the Expedition 73 crew as well as the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) quartet had a light duty day on Wednesday.

There was still time aboard the International Space Station for a variety of research activities and preparations for an upcoming crew swap.

NASA Flight Engineers Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers relaxed for half-a-day on Wednesday following a week-and-a-half of supporting their Ax-4 visitors.

McClain began her shift collecting her saliva samples for analysis while Ayers recorded her cardiovascular and respiratory data.

Next, McClain deactivated a Kubik incubator following several days of blood and saliva processing. Ayers documented her reactions on a computer to an experimental lighting system that helps astronauts maintain their circadian rhythms in space.

NASA Flight Engineer Jonny Kim had a mostly off-duty day taking timeout for his daily exercise routine working out on the Tranquility module’s advanced resistive exercise device and pedaling on the Destiny laboratory module’s exercise cycle.

Kim, at the end of his shift joined McClain, Ayers, and station Commander Takuya Onishi of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and called down to Earth and talked to the four SpaceX Crew-11 members as they count down to their mission to the orbital outpost.

NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke along with JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov are preparing to launch aboard the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft at the end of July to begin a seven-month space research mission.

Program managers and the Crew-11 quartet will discuss the upcoming mission during a pair of news conferences set to begin a 12 p.m. EDT Thursday on YouTube.

Onishi stayed busy on Wednesday spending the first part of his shift setting up communications gear in the Kibo laboratory module preparing for an upcoming conference with Japanese high school students.

After lunch, Onishi completed several days of blood and saliva sample work removing the specimens from incubation, spinning them in a centrifuge, then stowing them in a science freezer for preservation and later analysis.

Scientists will analyze the biological samples to learn how space affects cellular immunity and potentially treat space-caused immunity symptoms.

The four Ax-4 private astronauts cleared their schedule on Wednesday for a break after several days of continuous research duties since they arrived on June 26 aboard the SpaceX Dragon.

However, there was time for processing cyanobacteria samples to test recycling carbon dioxide and nitrogen on spacecraft.

The astronauts also exercised using specialized bands of different tensions for a variety of upper and lower body exercises to stretch, activate muscles, and minimize back pain in the space environment.

The three flight engineers from Roscosmos had a full day on Wednesday staying busy with human research, life support maintenance, and cargo transfers.

Veteran cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov on his third spaceflight kicked off his day checking out the Zarya module’s thermal control system.

He then joined cosmonaut Alexey Zubritskiy for a blood pressure study then swapped out a lens on a student-controlled Earth observation camera. Zubritskiy tested new tablet computers delivered recently aboard the Progress 92 cargo craft.

Cosmonaut Kirill Peskov began his shift downloading recently captured Earth imagery then spent the rest of his day collecting carbon dioxide measurements and on orbital plumbing tasks.

NASA, International Astronauts Answer Questions from Florida Students

Jul 09, 2025

Students in Big Pine Key, Florida, will have the chance to have NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station answer their prerecorded questions.

At 10:05 a.m. EDT on Monday, July 14, NASA astronaut Nicole Ayers and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi will answer questions submitted by students.

Watch the 20-minute Earth-to-space call on NASA STEM’s YouTube Channel.

The event is hosted by the Seacamp Association of Big Pine Key, Florida, which provides immersive science lessons for youth interested in discovering the sea.

The event will be attended by local Monroe County students, as well as national and international campers ages 10-17 years old.

The goal of the event is to help students make connections between astronauts training in space and scientists working in the sea.

Media interested in covering the event must RSVP by 5 p.m. EDT, Friday, July 11, to Judy Gregoire at: 305-872-2331 or email at: info@seacamp.org.

For nearly 25 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing skills needed to explore farther from Earth.

Astronauts aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through SCaN’s (Space Communications and Navigation) Near Space Network.

Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the space station benefit people on Earth and lay the groundwork for other agency missions.

As part of NASA’s Artemis campaign, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars; inspiring Golden Age explorers and ensuring the United States continues to lead in space exploration and discovery.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Finds Evidence Of "Barrier" In The Sun's 2 Million Kelvin Atmosphere

July 9, 2025

A study looking at data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe has found evidence for a "helicity barrier" in the atmosphere of the Sun.

In 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe on a trajectory that would eventually have it dive into the Sun's atmosphere (corona), getting seven times closer to our host star than any other spacecraft so far.

In June 2025, the probe completed its 24th close approach to the Sun, whilst equaling its record for the fastest a human-made object has ever traveled, at a zippy 692,000 kilometers per hour (430,000 miles per hour).

The probe is aimed at studying the Sun's atmosphere and will hopefully shed light on a few long-standing mysteries, such as how the solar wind is accelerated.

One puzzle, first discovered in 1939, is that the Sun's corona is far hotter than the solar surface. And not just by a little.

"The hottest part of the Sun is its core, where temperatures top 27 million °F (15 million °C). The part of the Sun we call its surface – the photosphere – is a relatively cool 10,000 °F (5,500 °C)," NASA explains.

"In one of the Sun’s biggest mysteries, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, gets hotter the farther it stretches from the surface. The corona reaches up to 3.5 million °F (2 million °C) – much, much hotter than the photosphere."

This is known as the "coronal heating problem". The basic problem is this: why is the atmosphere far hotter than the surface, when the surface is much closer to the core, where energy is generated through the fusion of hydrogen into helium?

There have been suggestions that the extra heat in the corona is caused by turbulence, or a type of magnetic wave known as "ion cyclotron waves".

"Both, however, have some problem—turbulence struggles to explain why hydrogen, helium and oxygen in the gas become as hot as they do, while electrons remain surprisingly cold; while the magnetic waves theory could explain this feature, there doesn't seem to be enough of the waves coming off the sun's surface to heat up the gas," Dr Romain Meyrand, author on the new paper, explained in a previous statement.

While both ideas have problems, together with a "helicity barrier", they show some promise for explaining the coronal heating problem.

“If we imagine plasma heating as occurring a bit like water flowing down a hill, with electrons heated right at the bottom, then the helicity barrier acts like a dam, stopping the flow and diverting its energy into ion cyclotron waves,” Meyrand added.

"In this way, the helicity barrier links the two theories and resolves each of their individual problems."

Pulsar Fusion set to conduct UK's first fusion space test

10 July 2025

Following successful vacuum and thermal tests here in the UK, it has just been revealed that the hardware is on track for a test launch from Florida in early 2026, likely using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, in what experts describe as a major step forward for the UK aerospace industry.

It will be the first time a UK company has tested hardware of this kind in space - an important step in the development of technology with the potential to revolutionise space travel.

This week, five senior members of the Pulsar Fusion team, including scientist Dr Bilge Kacmaz and CEO Richard Dinan (above), were invited to Parliament this week to meet with Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury Mark Garnier MP, who congratulated them on the announcement which highlights the government’s interest in the UK’s role in space exploration.

The event marked a moment of national recognition for Pulsar’s leadership as they formally announced Pulsar’s first In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) mission, which will test its proprietary Power Processing Unit (PPU) in space in the first quarter of 2026.

The PPU is a compact, high-efficiency power system designed to drive electric propulsion and ultimately fusion technologies.

This mission represents the first in-space demonstration of Pulsar’s core power platform, a key building block in its development of high-ISP propulsion solutions.

Pulsar’s PPU technology forms the foundation for a larger, supercapacitor-based system being developed for Sunbird, the company’s flagship fusion-powered transfer vehicle designed to support high-efficiency missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

The test will likely blast off from SpaceX in Florida using a Falcon 9 rocket very early in 2026. Pulsar has been working on a space engine for several years and this test is a significant milestone on that journey.

Their scientists have created a special kind of 'brain + battery' called a PPU (Power Processing Unit).

This PPU is like the engine control box. It takes electricity and turns it into the exact form of energy needed to fire a space thruster - whether it’s a small electric engine like a Hall Effect Thruster, or part of a much bigger fusion propulsion system.

This newly announced space test will allow the PPU to be put through its paces in space and follows successful vacuum and thermal tests of the unit here in the UK.

If the test is successful Pulsar will prove the 'heart' of its propulsion systems actually works in orbit, not just in the lab.

Once proven, this same technology can then be used to not only drive small spacecraft using Hall Effect Thrusters (already used by satellites today), but also to scale up to handle the extreme power needed for experimental fusion engines - like Pulsar’s future Sunbird rocket.

A successful test will prove that Pulsar is on track to revolutionise space travel making missions to the moon and Mars much faster and potentially less expensive.

Pulsar Fusion CEO Richard Dinan said: “We were delighted to be invited to attend Parliament to meet with the Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury Mark Garnier MP this week.

“It’s hugely exciting to be able to announce this important step forward in Pulsar’s capability as we put our PPU to the test, not just here on earth but up there in space orbit where it really matters.

“Pulsar’s test will prove it can control and power a real space engine in orbit. If that works, the same tech can grow into a power source for future fusion rockets. That’s how today’s small test could unlock the future of deep space travel.”

Pulsar Fusion is a UK-headquartered propulsion company developing electric and fusion-based propulsion systems for space logistics and interplanetary missions.

With advanced facilities in the UK and a new US presence in Texas, Pulsar is building the Sunbird: a reusable fusion-powered space tug capable of drastically reducing transit times to the Moon and Mars.

Space agency heads to Venus with help from genocide profiteer

10 July 2025

Some people are making a lot of money from Gaza’s obliteration.

The weapons makers Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries feature prominently in a new report on the “economy of genocide.”

It was compiled by Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, prior to this week’s announcement that the US is sanctioning her.

Albanese’s report stresses that the ongoing genocide has proven to be a “profitable venture” for those firms.

They benefited massively from the 65 percent surge in Israeli military spending from 2023 to 2024. At $46.5 billion, the war budget for last year put Israel among the world’s largest per capita military spenders, Albanese notes.

Her report leaves no doubt that Elbit – Israel’s largest weapons firm – is a direct participant in the genocide.

Elbit has “cooperated closely” on military operations, Albanese notes, “embedding key staff” in the defense ministry and been rewarded with the 2024 Israeli Defense Prize.

With Elbit contributing to genocide – the crime of crimes – the firm and its international wings ought to be ostracized.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is among the bodies which have continued to deal with Elbit’s business network during the genocide.

Just last month, OIP – an Elbit subsidiary based in Belgium – gloated that it had been selected by the agency to develop a “high-resolution thermal infrared dispersive spectrometer.”

Potential uses of this “novel technology” include “target identification” and air quality monitoring, OIP stated.

In May, OIP shared what it called “hot and exciting news.” The firm was hyping up how the European Space Agency had chosen it to develop a spectrometer for a “mission to Venus.”

Before setting out for Venus, OIP headed toward the sun. In December last, the firm bragged that it had been “entrusted” with contributing “critical components” to an ESA project, which involves sending two spacecraft to observe the sun’s corona.

Headquartered in Paris, the European Space Agency is a publicly-funded body. This means that a subsidiary of Elbit, an Israeli weapons giant, is benefiting from activities financed by taxpayers without their consent.

Although the ESA is not a European Union institution, it has a partnership with the EU on Copernicus, an “Earth observation” satellite program.

Earlier this year, OIP trumpeted that it had signed a contract with France’s Thales to deliver a “cloud imager” for Copernicus.

Coy

OIP is coy about its Israeli connections.

The announcement about the Venus mission stated that its objective was to understand how that planet “evolved so differently from Earth and became so uninhabitable.”

There was no mention of how OIP’s parent Elbit Systems has played a huge role in ensuring that Gaza is unlivable.

Noctilucent clouds: Spectacular rare space phenomenon sighted in UK - When can I see noctilucent clouds?

July 9, 2025

An incredible photograph shows noctilucent clouds in the UK.

Sachiko Hamada caught the stunning space phenomenon at 2:10am on July 8.

Rebecca Coates managed to photograph noctilucent clouds as she flew into the UK on June 28.

What are noctilucent clouds?

According to the Met Office, noctilucent clouds (“night-shining” clouds) are extremely rare collections of ice crystals that occasionally appear in late clear summer evenings after sunset, but before it gets completely dark.

Noctilucent clouds often stay visible after dark with them still reflecting sunlight due to how high they are.

They are higher up than any other clouds, occupying the layer of atmosphere known as the Mesosphere, near the edge of space, and are only seen at latitudes between 45°N and 80°N.

Why are noctilucent clouds so rare?

Noctilucent clouds need water vapour, dust, and very low temperatures to form. Low temperatures are easily attainable in the Mesosphere, however water vapour and dust are in short supply.

What do noctilucent clouds look like?

The Met Office says they often closely resemble thin streaky cirrus, though other shapes are often seen. They are usually blue or silver in colour, but are sometimes orange or red.

When can I see noctilucent clouds?

In the Northern Hemisphere, noctilucent clouds can be visible from the end of May to the start of August, with sightings more likely in June and July.

Royal Museums Greenwich advise you look up an hour or two after sunset or before sunrise from a place with a flat horizon and a clear view of a wide area of sky.

In the evening, look west around 40 minutes after the Sun has set. In the early morning, look towards the northeast where the Sun will soon be rising, and aim your gaze high up in the sky.

Scientists discover ice in space isn't like water on Earth after all

July 10, 2025

Water ice is everywhere in space, from frozen moons to frosty dust grains in interstellar clouds.

However, researchers at University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge have recently discovered that ice in space isn't like what we thought it was.

On Earth, the relatively warm temperatures in which ice exists gives the water molecules enough energy to form an ordered, crystalline structure akin to the symmetry of snowflakes.

However, in space, temperatures plunge much lower, down to –148 or –328 degrees Fahrenheit (–100 or –200 Celsius) and colder, and it wasn't thought that water-ice could crystallize under such conditions.

Instead, water ice in space was thought to be purely amorphous; in other words, no crystallization and no ordered structure between molecules.

When plumes of water vapor from Saturn's moon Enceladus spew into space, that water vapor freezes and snows back onto the icy moon's surface, but those snowflakes would, according to previous theories, not have the intricate structure of snowflakes on Earth.

But now, new research suggests that it could, at least to a degree. Matching computer simulations of how amorphous ice freezes to X-ray diffraction measurements of real amorphous ice suggest that in some cases, up to a quarter of amorphous ice can be made up of crystals.

"We now have a good idea of what the most common form of ice in the universe looks like at an atomic level," said Michael B. Davis of UCL and Cambridge, in a statement.

"This is important as ice is involved in many cosmological processes, for instance in how planets form, how galaxies evolve, and how matters moves around the universe."

Low-density amorphous ice was discovered in the 1930s by condensing water vapor onto a metal plate cooled to –166 degrees Fahrenheit (–110 degrees Celsius).

High-density amorphous ice was found to be possible in the 1980s when researchers crushed amorphous ice at –328 degrees Fahrenheit (–200 degrees Celsius).

And in 2023, Davis' team learned how to create medium-density amorphous ice for the first time.

This medium-density amorphous ice has the peculiar property of having the same density as liquid water, so it neither floats nor sinks.

Low-density amorphous ice is most common in the universe, though, and that's what Davis' team used to conduct their experiments.

First, they ran two different simulations. One created virtual ice cubes by cooling water to –120 degrees Celsius (–184 degrees Fahrenheit), but at varied rates so that they froze differently.

The other simulation started with large cubes of ice molecules packed together with equal spacing, and then randomly disordered those molecules.

The first simulation produced ice that was not purely amorphous, but was up to 20% crystalline, with the ice crystals measuring just 3 nanometers across and embedding into the disordered gaps within the amorphous ices' structure.

The second simulation managed an even higher percentage of ice crystals, up to 25%.

However, these are still simulations, so how do they stack up to reality?

By firing beams of X-rays through supposedly amorphous ice formed through a variety of methods, and watching for how those X-rays were deflected by the molecular structure of the ice, Davis' team found that the amorphous ice's real structure matched that produced by the simulations.

To confirm matters, Davis' team then 're-crystallized' the amorphous ice that they had created, and found that the crystal structure that the ice adopted varied depending upon how the amorphous ice had been formed in the first place.

Purely amorphous ice that is totally disordered should retain no memory of its earlier form, unless there is some crystalline structure remaining.

"Ice is potentially a high-performance material in space," said Davis. "It could shield spacecraft from radiation or provide fuel in the form of hydrogen and oxygen.

So we need to know about its various forms and properties." The findings also potentially place constraints on the search for the origins of life, particularly how the building blocks for life came to be on Earth.

Some of those organic ingredients for life are thought to have been transported to Earth on icy dust grains, and while these new findings about amorphous ice don't rule that out, they do limit what's possible.

"This is because a partly crystalline structure has less space in which these ingredients could become embedded," said Davis.

"The theory could still hold true, though, as there are amorphous regions in the ice where life's building blocks could be trapped and stored."

She was reportedly sitting alone at the In-N-Out restaurant with her dog when someone recognized her.

The fellow diner approached and asked: 'Are you who I think you are?'

'Yes, I am,' Maxwell responded, before saying: 'Well, I guess this is the last time I'll be eating here!'

Photos of Maxwell, first published by the New York Post, show the socialite sitting casually outside the eatery reading a book entitled 'The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives'.

Maxwell, who stared directly into the camera as the photos were taken, was dressed in metallic sneakers, striped pants and a grey sweatshirt.

She was pictured with and without her reading glasses.

In one of the photos, two drinks and two trays of food are visible on her table.

Her dog can also be seen lying patiently on the ground beneath her seat.

Maxwell's rare sighting in Los Angeles came on the same day a woman filed a lawsuit against her in New York alleging that she helped arrange for Epstein to rape her when she was 15.

Russia prefers peaceful solution to Ukraine conflict – Kremlin

10 Jul, 2025 14:16

Russia remains open to a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday.

He warned that conditions on the ground are rapidly evolving as Kiev hesitates to continue direct negotiations.

Two rounds of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine have taken place this year in Istanbul – in mid-May and early June – but a third has yet to be scheduled.

Peskov addressed the stalled diplomatic efforts during a routine press briefing.

”We should wait for some signals from the Kiev regime, who should say whether they want to hold a third round of direct talks or not,” Peskov said.

“We have repeatedly said that we would prefer achieving our goals through peaceful political-diplomatic means.”

He added, “As long as this outcome is impossible, the special military operation continues, and realities on the ground are changing every day.”

His comments came as the United States reportedly resumed weapons deliveries to Ukraine following a brief pause.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of “throwing a lot of bullsh*t” at Washington – remarks the Kremlin characterized as rhetorical flourishes typical of the American leader.

Trump maintains his interest in brokering a compromise to resolve the conflict. Initially Kiev agreed to resume direct talks with Moscow after the White House signaled support for renewed diplomacy.

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgiy Tikhiy said in an interview this week that Kiev's consent to negotiations was partly driven by a desire to avoid being blamed by Western leaders for obstructing Trump’s peace agenda.

On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during the ASEAN forum in Malaysia.

The two officials spoke for nearly an hour, after which Rubio downplayed the earlier pause in US military aid and urged European nations backing Kiev to increase their support.

”One of the things that the Ukrainians need is more Patriot batteries,” Rubio said, referencing the US-made long-range air defense systems. “

There are Patriot batteries available in multiple countries in Europe, yet no one wants to part with them.”

He argued that countries prioritizing Ukraine’s defense should be willing to send Kiev equipment that is currently not being used.

🔥🔥MUST WATCH. John Kiriakou tells a story he NEVER TOLD PUBLICLY.. "THE FASCINATING JOURNEY OF JOHN BRENNAN'S ASCENSION TO HEAD OF CIA"

@JohnKiriakou says, "When I got hired Brennan was a DS-14 nobody. Deputy Director of the Arab/Israeli analysis group. He worked for a women Martha Kessler who was a great mind on Syria & they did not get along and he was imposed on her. He went to her asked her for a promotion & wanted her blessing"

She said, "Not only are you not ready for the Senior Service but you are FIRED."

John explains that " In the CIA when you are fired you are not really fired. You have 6 weeks to walk the halls and find a job. If you cant they escort you out and take your badge."

John states, "This happened around XMAS & there was no jobs at Xmas. Finally he goes to the (PBD STAFF) President's Daily Brief Staff and they have an opening for a low level staffer. The Director of Intelligence Programs who happens to be George Tenet.Brennan & Tenet hit it off..Alpha Dog/Hard Drinkers...Tenet gets promoted to be Deputy Director of the CIA. He takes Brennan with him & names him Martha's Boss. Brennan calls her in and fires her. He is made station chief of Riyadh which is one of the most important countries in the world."

He comes back as the #3 ranking official in the CIA. He discusses how a lot of factions went to the McCain campaign, some went to Clinton and only BRENNAN went to the Obama campaign. There in lies history.

The story seemed to leave @patrickbetdavid SPEECHLESS.

"The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, fundamentally altered the U.S. immigration formula. Signed into law on October 3, 1965, by President Lyndon B. Johnson, it abolished the National Origins Formula established in the 1920s, which heavily favored immigration from Western Europe by imposing quotas based on national origin. The 1965 Act replaced this system with a preference-based structure prioritizing family reunification and skilled immigrants. It set an annual cap of 170,000 visas for immigrants from the Eastern Hemisphere, with a per-country limit of 20,000, and later applied similar limits to the Western Hemisphere. This shifted immigration patterns, leading to increased diversity, particularly from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as it removed quotas that had restricted non-European immigration."

Watch: UFO Filmed Zipping Across Sky During Thunderstorm in Maryland

July 09, 2025

An awestruck Maryland man captured curious footage of a UFO that zipped across the sky during a recent thunderstorm.

The intriguing sighting was reportedly filmed on Monday evening by an unnamed witness in the community of Kingsville.

While filming a thunderstorm that was unfolding that night, the man was taken aback when a bright elongated object suddenly cut a path through the sky right at the moment when a lightning bolt lit up the area.

The dazzling scene (seen above) elicited a comically drawn-out "cool" from the man as he marveled at what he had just seen overhead.

Interestingly, a slow-down version of the short but compelling video shows that the object did not travel in a straight line as it seemed to skip and slightly change direction near the end of its trip across the sky.

As for what the weird glowing object could have been, some UFO enthusiasts have speculated that the anomaly was an otherworldly craft drawn to and harnessing energy from the powerful thunderstorm.

Skeptics, on the other hand, suggest that the 'alien interloper' was either a meteorological phenomenon or something prosaic that appeared unusual due to the camera's perspective.

What do you make of the puzzling footage? Weigh in with your thoughts at the C2C Facebook page.

Pentagon Invests in Sole Operational Rare Earth Mine in the United States – Becomes Largest Investor

The Department of Defense (DoD) has agreed to buy $400 million worth of preferred stock from MP Materials, the only operational rare earth mine in the United States located just outside Mountain Pass, California. The investment will help MP Materials build a second magnet manufacturing facility, with construction beginning in 2028.

The investment would make the DoD the largest shareholder with around a 15% stake, eclipsing the previous lead shareholders; the current CEO James Litinsky (8.27%) and BlackRock Fund Advisors (8.27%). Additionally, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs will provide $1 billion in financing for the second facility.

As part of the deal, the DoD has ensured that “100% of the magnets made at the new facility, called 10x, are purchased by defense and commercial customers for 10 years after the plant is built,” according to NBC News.

Currently, the U.S. imports around 95% of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) it consumes, mainly from China. In April, China imposed restrictions on seven of the 17 REEs exported to the U.S. in response to President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs. Those restrictions eased up in July; however, the dependence on China for those materials is likely a motivation behind this investment.

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are a group of 17 metallic elements that are used for advanced military technologies, as they possess unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical properties. These are critical components in modern guidance systems, precision-guided munitions, radar, and satellite systems.

For example, the F-35 requires an estimated 900 lbs of REEs for its manufacturing, while a Virginia-class submarine needs more than 9,000 lbs. According to FairObserver, even with the mining operation of MP Materials, the U.S. is still dependent on China for processing the ore extracted in Mountain Pass.

Through the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Program directorate has embarked on a five-year rare earth investment strategy to build “mine-to-magnet” domestic capacity at all critical nodes of the rare earth supply chain. Those critical nodes include sourcing, separation, processing, metallization, alloying and magnet manufacturing.

The first of those critical nodes, the sourcing of rare earth elements, means mining rare earth elements out of the ground. Today in the U.S., there is only one rare earth mine currently active and selling to the commercial market.

Separation includes a series of processes that take out extractable rare earth elements from other elements and compounds in the mineral rock. Processing involves concentrating separated rare earth elements and then chemically treating them to produce high-purity rare earth oxides or rare earth salts. The metallization step transforms rare earth salts into rare earth metals. Depending on the application, those metals can be combined with various alloying elements to produce a variety of rare earth alloys.

Justice Department Reports to Court It Is Reviewing FBI/DOJ Epstein Records for Possible Release

Judicial Watch announced it filed a “joint status report” on July 7 in federal court reporting that the Justice Department and the FBI continue to search for and review records in response to Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit requests any records on the identities of clients or associates of Epstein. The Justice Department’s disclosure is at odds with the leaked, unsigned and undated Justice Department/FBI memo that suggests no more Epstein records would be disclosed to the American public. The memo was first disclosed late on July 6.

Judicial Watch sued the Justice Department and FBI in April 2025 after they failed to adequately respond to three separate FOIA requests for records filed in February 2025 concerning Epstein, including a specific request for records “depicting the identities of clients or associates of Epstein.” Epstein document requests were sent to the Justice Department’s Office of Information Policy, the Criminal Division, and two separate requests were sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-01056)).

The joint status report states:

Plaintiff Judicial Watch, Inc. and Defendant U.S. Department of Justice, by counsel and pursuant to the Court’s June 12, 2025, order, respectfully submit this joint status report:

***

(2)(3) the anticipated number of documents responsive to Plaintiff’s FOIA request, and the anticipated date(s) for release of the documents requested by Plaintiff

Federal Bureau of Investigation

For 1662669-0 (any/all Epstein records), the FBI has run its initial searches and is in the process of reviewing those search results.

For 1662711-0 (Communications of Director Patel’s regarding Epstein client list), the FBI’s search efforts are ongoing.

The FBI does not yet have an anticipated number of documents or anticipated dates for release.

Women who claimed Brigitte Macron was born a man are CLEARED of defamation

Two women convicted of defaming French first lady Brigitte Macron by saying she was ‘born a man’ were today sensationally cleared on appeal.

Judges sitting at the Paris Appeal Court on Thursday ruled that Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, and Natacha Rey, 49 and a blogger, had every legal right to make the sulphurous allegations.

Both had claimed they were subjected to ‘intimidation by the authorities’ as ‘ultra protected’ members of the Paris establishment tried to cover up a ‘state secret’.

The United States channels hundreds of millions in military aid to build and upgrade Israel Defense Forces (IDF) airbases and facilities, documents from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reveal.

This $1.5 billion initiative funds infrastructure for refueling aircraft, helicopters, and a naval commando headquarters, all paid by American taxpayers.

Growing criticism of U.S. aid to Israel calls for scrutiny from American citizens in our Constitutional Republic.

Major Investment in IDF Infrastructure

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages about 20 construction projects in Israel, totaling $1.5 billion, per official documents and presentations. These projects build clinics, naval piers, unit headquarters, and ammunition storage sites. They also renovate runways, aircraft painting facilities, and infrastructure for the Israel Air Force’s Boeing KC-46 Pegasus tankers and CH-53K helicopters. A $900 million tender, set for release in July 2025, will fund new F-35 and F-15IA fighter jet squadrons.

One tender, valued at approximately $900 million, is currently under development and is expected to be issued around July 2025, according to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers document. —Haaretz

Israel’s annual $3.8 billion U.S. military aid package, set by a 2019-2028 memorandum from the Obama administration, finances these projects. The war in Gaza has driven supplemental aid, with Brown University’s Cost of War project project noting $18 billion in additional U.S. arms by September 2024. In January 2025, the U.S. House approved a $26 billion aid package, including $4 billion for Israel’s missile defense interceptors.

Upgrades for Israel’s Air Force

Major projects enhance the Israel Air Force. Two contracts improve airbase runways and taxiways. A $100 million project builds infrastructure for Boeing KC-46 Pegasus tankers at Nevatim Airbase, a joint U.S.-Israel facility. A $250 million effort at Tel Nof Airbase supports 12 CH-53K helicopters with new hangars and storage. A $500 million project funds a new F-35 squadron, and $250 million backs F-15IA jet infrastructure.

The projects construct a new headquarters for Shayetet 13, the Israeli Navy’s elite commando unit, in Atlit. They also build ammunition bunkers at Hatzerim Airbase for $100 million and a $10 million “Hot Loading Pad” for explosives. Maintenance workshops for armored vehicles, called Tama 38 or Tama 58, receive upgrades with budgets up to $100 million.

Israeli prof. Shai Davidai quits Columbia, as university drops harassment investigation

A letter Davdai posted shows that Columbia closed the inquest on July 8, "without any findings or conclusions of wrongdoing and without imposing discipline or penalty."

Israeli Prof. Shai Davidai resigned from his post at Columbia Business School on the same day that he received a letter clearing him of harassment allegations.

On Wednesday, Davidai – an assistant professor of business at the university – posted a copy of a letter sent by the vice provost of Columbia telling him that the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) had closed its investigation into him.

Antisemitism is at a record high. We're keeping our eyes on it >>

The investigation began on February 8, 2024, after allegations were made about the Israeli professor. Columbia then suspended him temporarily after claiming he had “repeatedly harassed and intimidated university employees in violation of university policy.”

The letter shows that the OIE had closed the probe on July 8, “without any findings or conclusions of wrongdoing and without imposing discipline or penalty.”

High-Profile Assassination in Kyiv: SBU Colonel Responsible For Terror In Russia Gunned Down

A brazen daylight assassination shook central Kyiv today as Colonel Ivan Voronich, a senior operative in Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), was shot dead in what appears to be a meticulously planned operation. The killing, carried out with five close-range pistol shots has sparked immediate speculation about whether Russian operatives or internal Ukrainian rivalries were behind the attack. Voronich, who served in the 1st Department of the SBU’s 16th Directorate a unit linked to covert operations, was one of key figures in orchestrating sabotage and terrorist attacks on Russian soil, making him a prime target for Moscow’s counterterrorism efforts.

The assailant calmly approached Voronich near a busy intersection before firing at point-blank range. Witnesses reported hearing muffled pops, after which the gunman fled in a waiting car, leaving the colonel dead before emergency services could arrive.

The precision of the attack suggests professional execution, raising questions about whether Russian intelligence agencies were involved. However, an alternative theory gaining traction in Ukrainian circles points to internal power struggles within the SBU itself. Given the vast Western funding flowing through Ukraine’s security apparatus, violent infighting over control of resources has become increasingly common. After 2022, internal Ukrainian agencies, including the SBU, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the GUR etc, are competing for budgets, control over shadow schemes, independent operations, and so on.

Voronich’s career took a sharp turn after the 2014 Maidan revolution, when he aligned with Ukraine’s post-coup government and quickly rose through the ranks of the SBU’s clandestine operations wing. Ukrainian sources describe him as a pioneer in developing the agency’s “anti-Russian sabotage programs,” which included cross-border attacks, recruiting Russian children for sabotage, and other acts of terror, making him a marked man in Moscow. Russians largely frame the killing as a justified counterterrorism measure, while Ukrainian officials remain silent on potential retaliation.

Kyiv is behind numerous assassinations, bloody terrorist attacks, sabotage, and covert operations on the Russian territory. Recently, Russian security forces changed their modus operandi in their fight against Ukrainian accomplices. LINK There are more and more cases of Kyiv’s accomplices being eliminated while trying to resist arrest. If earlier Russians acted more humanely, and took great risks, trying not to cause physical harm to the terrorists, now the FSB seems to act differently.

If Russian involvement in the attack in Kyiv is confirmed, it signals a change in Russia’s tactics deep in the Ukrainian rear. Conversely, if the killing was an inside job, it exposes the destabilizing corruption and infighting plaguing Kyiv’s security institutions. As investigators scour the crime scene for clues, one thing is certain: Voronich’s death will not be the last one.

Poland threatens to close key Ukraine military aid hub

President Andrzej Duda has said Warsaw could shut down Rzeszow Airport, accusing NATO partners of acting as if it belongs to them

Polish President Andrzej Duda has threatened to shut down the country’s main transit hub for Western military aid to Ukraine,accusing Kiev and NATO of treating Polish infrastructure as if it were their own.

Warsaw has been one of Kiev’s strongest supporters since the escalation of the conflict with Russia in 2022. The airport in Rzeszow, located just 80km from the Ukrainian border,has served as a vital logistics hub.

According to Polish and Western officials, between 80-90% of NATO and partner-supplied military equipment destined for Ukraine has passed through the facility, including weapons, ammunition, and vehicles.

However, speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Duda expressedfrustrationthat Poland had not been included in key international bodies responsible for decisions on Ukraine aid delivered via Polish territory. He described the situation as a “scandal.”

“They [Ukraine and NATO] think that the airport in Rzeszow and our highways belong to them, as if they’re theirs. Well, they’re not. They’re ours,” the president said.

Duda insisted that if Ukraine and its Western partners continued to treat the use of Polish territory as a given, Warsaw could shut down the hub “for maintenance.”

“If someone doesn’t like it, we close it and goodbye,” he said“Deliver [the aid] by sea, by air, I don’t know, drop it by parachute.”(Kekkity, that is funny)

He added that the issue was not limited to Ukraine, butreflected a broader imbalance in Poland’s relationship with the US-led military bloc.

“We need to have the courage to speak with the Germans and Americans,” he insisted.

Russia has consistently denounced foreign military aid to Kiev, arguing it only prolongs the conflict without altering its outcome. Moscow maintains that the shipments also escalate NATO’s involvement and obstruct peace efforts.

Duda is scheduled to leave office in August and will be succeeded by Karol Nawrocki, a historian and head of the Institute of National Remembrance.

Nawrocki has publicly opposed Ukraine’s potential accession to both NATO and the EU, arguing that the country is not ready and that full membership would carry unacceptable security risks. He has also condemned Kiev’s veneration of wartime nationalist figures linked to atrocities against Poles during World War II.

Following his inauguration, Nawrocki is expected to meet with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, but his administrationis expected to adopt a more confrontational stance on bilateral relations and EU integration.

(Thank God we don’t live in Europe, they fight all the time, and many times they have to share with every country, they are all not independent states.The US is the best set up ever, the states have their own laws, but it seems like European countries, need to share everything to function. Poland had extreme and generous relations with the Trump Admin, while he’s been gone, Europe doesn’t treat them well, they should be coming to meet Trump soon. KEK Poland is the most pulled together, organized and has the money to be one of the most well run countries in Europe, they are very serious about their country, along with Hungary. The polish jokes started in the 1900s made them OCD, joking.)

Taxpayer-Funded Benefits Are for American Citizens — Not Illegals

The White House July 10, 2025

https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/07/taxpayer-funded-benefits-are-for-american-citizens-not-illegals/

Today, at the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the Administration is taking the biggest step in more than 30 years to protect taxpayer-funded benefits for American citizens — NOT illegal aliens. The move, which preserves roughly $40 billion in benefits for American citizens, overturns decades of bureaucratic defiance and builds on President Trump’s executive order directing an END to the subsidization of open borders.

Under President Trump, hardworking Americans will no longer be forced to front the cost of benefits for illegals:

The Department of Health and Human Services is restricting illegal aliens from 13 additional public programs, including Head Start, health workforce scholarships and loans, mental health and substance abuse support, family planning, and more.

The Department of Education is ending free tuition for illegal aliens at post-secondary career and technical education programs.

The Department of Agriculture is restricting illegal aliens from federally funded food assistance programs.

The Department of Labor is barring illegal aliens from accessing federal workforce development resources and grants.

The Department of Justice is closing longstanding loopholes that have allowed illegal aliens to access taxpayer-funded benefits.

US Sanctions UN Expert For Pushing ICC Case Against Israel

by Tyler Durden Thursday, Jul 10, 2025 - 12:05 PM Authored by Jacob Burg via The Epoch Times,

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the United States will be imposing sanctions on the United Nations (UN) special rapporteuron human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, accusing her of anti-Semitism, and supporting terrorism.

“Today I am imposing sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt [International Criminal Court] action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives,” Rubio wrote in a statement on July 9 posted to the social media platform X.

The Epoch Times reached out to a spokesperson for Albanese for comment.

An Italian attorney and academic, Albanese has served in her role at the UN since May 2022.She has advocated for the UN Human Rights Council to impose an arms embargo and end trade and financial ties with Israel.

Albanese accused Israel of overseeing a “genocidal campaign” in Gaza while at war with Hamas.

The International Criminal Court has alleged Israel is guilty of war crimes, and the International Court of Justice has made allegations of genocide over the nation’s military efforts against Hamas in Gaza. Israel has denied the accusations and maintains that its actions are self-defense after Hamas’s deadly Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on southern Israel.

In an early July report, Albanese accused more than 60 companies, including weapons manufacturers and technology businesses, of aiding Israeli settlements and military efforts in Gazaand suggested that Israel is benefiting from the support.

“The report reveals how the forever-occupation has become the ideal testing ground for arms manufacturers and big tech—providing boundless supply and demand, little oversight and zero accountability—while investors and private and public institutions profit freely,” she wrote.

Israel’s mission in Geneva called the report “legally groundless, defamatory, and a flagrant abuse of her office.”

In a longer statement posted to the State Department’s website,Rubio accused Albanese of anti-Semitism, supporting terrorism, and having “open contempt for the United States, Israel, and the West.”

He also described Albanese’s report asa campaign of “political and economic warfare.”

“She has recentlyescalated this effort by writing threatening letters to dozens of entities worldwide, including major American companies across finance, technology, defense, energy, and hospitality,making extreme and unfounded accusations and recommendingthe [International Criminal Court] pursue investigations and prosecutions of these companies and their executives,” Rubio said.

Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Agnes Callamard, a former UN special rapporteur, also denounced the sanctions.

“Governments around the world and all actors who believe in the rule-based order and international law must do everything in their power to mitigate and block the effect of the sanctions against Francesca Albanese and more generally to protect the work and independence of Special Rapporteurs,” Callamard wrote in a statement.

As a special rapporteur, Albanese is required by the UN Human Rights Council to report on specific topics and crises. The views of special rapporteurs are not reflective of the UN as a whole.

CIA Whistleblower Reveals How Intel Agencies Gather Blackmail On Politicians

by Tyler Durden Thursday, Jul 10, 2025 - 11:25 AM Via VigilantFox.com,

You’ll see how this connects to Epstein.

John Kiriakou reveals his superior got a promotion and a medal when he recruited a copy machine repairman.

At first, Kiriakou laughed, but then he realized the brilliance of the plan when he learned thatthe repairman secretly sent every document from a prime minister’s office straight to the CIA.

How did he do it?By planting a tiny device on the copy machine.

“He [my trainer] said, all of us want to recruit the prime minister. We’re not going to recruit the prime minister. We’re not even going to have access to the prime minister. But the prime minister’s got a copy machine in his office.

“And every once in a while, that machine is going to need to be cleaned and serviced. So you recruit the copy machine repairman. And when he goes in there to make his repair or to clean the drums or whatever, he installs a little device that we give him so that every time somebody makes a copy, it transmits a copy back to the CIA.”

What happened next?

He said, “I got a promotion. I got a medal. I got a photo op with the director. It made my career…”

Becausethis flow of information was pure leverage for the CIA:

“You know what they’re thinking. You know their next move. You know who their enemies are and who their allies are.Maybe it’s their position on trade negotiations. Maybe the prime minister has a health problem you need to plan for. You never know what might come through,” Kiriakou explained.

“That ONE critical nugget is all it takes.”

That, he says, is EXACTLY what Epstein was to intelligence agencies: someone with access (like the copy machine repairman) who quietly delivered leverage on the world’s elite.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cia-whistleblower-reveals-how-intel-agencies-gather-blackmail-politicians

(Tucker interviewed John Kiriakou about two weeks ago, it was a very good and interview and very enlightening how and what the CIA does, and even to their own. He said he ended up in jail only because John Brennan hated him and if the agent didn’t like Brennan, he would be persecuted by Brennan, until the worst happened. Not many if any in the CIA like Brennan.)

Trump's birthright citizenship efforts blocked by judge despite Supreme Court ruling

CONCORD, New Hampshire − A federal judge again barred President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing his executive order limiting birthright citizenship nationwide after the Supreme Court restricted the ability of judges to block his policies using nationwide injunctions.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante in Concord, New Hampshire, made the ruling July 10 after immigrant rights advocates implored him to grant class action status to a lawsuit they filed seeking to represent any babies whose citizenship status would be threatened by implementation of Trump's directive.

Laplante agreed the plaintiffs could proceed as a class, allowing him to issue a fresh judicial order blocking implementation of the Republican president's policy nationally.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

=Most US Law Enforcement Funds Are Going To Immigration & Border==

by Tyler Durden Thursday, Jul 10, 2025 - 07:45 AM

Two thirds of all federal law enforcement funding in the United States forfiscal year 2025 is going to immigration and border enforcement, according to a CATO Institute analysis of data from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

Together, immigration and border enforcementwill receive more than $33 billion.

This includes funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at $19 billion, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at $10 billion, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at $281 million, the Department of Homeland Security's general offices at $3.2 billion and 20 percent of the Coast Guard's budget - approximately $2.2 billion.

However, as Statista's Anna Fleck reports, CATO notes thatthe actual value is even higher, as the Trump administration is “diverting thousands of agents from other federal law enforcement agencies and much of the military to enforcing immigration and border law.”

You will find more infographics at Statista

According to CATO analysts, theamount spent on immigration and border enforcement agencies is 36 times higher than spending on tax and financial crimes enforcement(IRS-Treasury), 21 times higher than funding for firearms enforcement (ATF), 13 times higher than on drug enforcement (DEA), 10 times higher than spending on the Secret Service and 8 times higher than the FBI budget.

These figures are based on current calculations anddo not yet reflect the additional increases expected under H.R. 1 - the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The CBP projects that this will direct an extra $168 billion over the coming years to immigration and border enforcement agencies, along with more funding for agencies that indirectly support immigration law enforcement.

Unlike normal fiscal year appropriations,H.R. 1 makes these funds available over five years, though they can be accessed for up to 10 years, so long as they are committed by 2029.

President Trump Hits Brazil with 50 Percent Tariff Rate

July 10, 2025 | Sundance |

Previously, President Trump lashed out against the government of Brasil led by Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, saying, “Brazil is doing a terrible thing on their treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. I have watched, as has the World, as they have done nothing but come after him, day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year! He is not guilty of anything, except having fought for THE PEOPLE. I have gotten to know Jair Bolsonaro, and he was a strong Leader, who truly loved his Country —Also, a very tough negotiator on TRADE. His Election was very close and now, he is leading in the Polls. This is nothing more, or less, than an attack on a Political Opponent — Something I know much about!

President Trump then announces a 50% baseline tariff rate against Brazil. This is a strategic gamble for President Trump in that Jair Bolsonaro is effectively banned from running in the next election, and leftist Lula da Silva could benefit from an increased surge in nationalistic sentiment similar to the Canada election.

However, on Thursday the Paris court of appeal overturned the conviction as they said the 18 pieces of video called into question by Mrs Macron’s lawyers did not constitute defamation but fell in line with good faith and free speech.

In a four-hour YouTube video posted in 2021, the women described Mrs Macron as a “swindle”, “deception” and “state lie” while sharing photos of her and her family.

The court ruled that the 18 passages of the video called into question by Mrs Macron’s lawyers did not constitute defamation and had made the mistake in “good faith”.

The decision is a blow to Mrs Macron, who initiated proceedings in 2021.

Jean Ennochi, the lawyer for Mrs Macron, said: “I’m going to see what my clients and I are going to do, but obviously we don’t agree with this ruling.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

CVS ordered to pay $949 MILLION in Medicaid fraud case. 3.3 million false claims. Judge says they’re “getting off easy.”

A federal judge in Manhattan has ordered CVS Health’s Omnicare division to pay $948.8 million in penalties and damages after a jury found the company liable for submitting over 3.3 million false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare between 2010 and 2018. The ruling, issued July 7, stems from a whistleblower lawsuit filed by a former Omnicare pharmacist and later joined by the Department of Justice. Judge Colleen McMahon imposed a $542 million civil penalty and tripled the $135.6 million in damages awarded by the jury, as required under the False Claims Act. CVS acquired Omnicare in 2015 and was found jointly liable for $164.8 million of the total judgment, with the court noting that CVS failed to stop 30% of the false claims submitted after the acquisition.

The fraudulent billing practices involved dispensing medications to elderly and disabled patients in long-term care facilities without valid prescriptions or proper documentation. Omnicare allegedly recycled expired prescriptions by assigning new numbers without physician approval, a violation of federal billing standards. CVS argued the practices were “highly technical” and permitted in some states, and emphasized that no patients were harmed or charged improperly. Nonetheless, Judge McMahon rejected the company’s constitutional challenge to the penalty, stating, “This was a very big fraud on the Government, one that lasted over almost a decade, and one that Omnicare was aware of but avoided taking steps to correct.”

The scale of the fraud is notable. Medicaid alone loses an estimated $55 billion annually to improper payments, according to the latest CMS audit. The CVS case adds nearly $1 billion to that tally, making it one of the largest pharmacy-related fraud judgments in recent history. The False Claims Act mandates a minimum penalty of $5,000 per false claim, which in this case could have exceeded $26.9 billion if applied strictly. Judge McMahon remarked that CVS is “getting off relatively easy” given the scope of the misconduct.

CVS plans to appeal the ruling, maintaining that the dispensing practices ended in 2018 and were common across the industry. The company’s annual revenue reached $372.8 billion in 2024, meaning the penalty represents less than 0.3% of its top line. Still, the judgment arrives at a time when CVS is facing pressure from declining pharmacy margins and rising medical costs in its Aetna insurance unit. The outcome of the appeal could influence future enforcement actions against other pharmacy benefit managers and long-term care providers.

Floyd Brown says he was fired by Kennedy Center for opposing homosexual ‘marriage’

‘I never realized the extent to which the elites of the MAGA movement and the Republican Party have so embraced a pro-abortion and pro-gay ‘marriage’ stance,’ the fired Kennedy Center VP said.

“This is not something I expected or had ever imagined would happen to me,” Floyd Brown began in an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews.

Until recently, Brown served as a vice president at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., the premier entertainment venue in the nation’s capital.

One of the first moves by President Donald Trump after retaking the Oval Office was to clean house at the Kennedy Center by firing its board of trustees and replacing them with loyal MAGA supporters, including the appointment of Richard “Ric” Grenell as the Center’s president. Trump himself was then unanimously elected to serve as the board’s chairman.

Brown is well known within conservative circles. He previously helped found the conservative nonprofit Citizens United, served as an executive for Young America’s Foundation, and founded The Western Journal.

Christian, pro-Trump conservative Brown revealed in late May that he had been fired due to his “past writings and statements about traditional marriage and homosexual influence in the GOP.”

He was told, “You must recant your belief in traditional marriage and your past statements on the topic, or you will be fired.’”

When his conscience prevented him from doing so, he was immediately terminated.

“I never imagined they would cancel me,” Brown said, and that “they would get such an upper hand in our society, that our society would become so numb to sin and make-believe that they could turn the tables and start canceling Christians for having very orthodox beliefs.”

Q. It seems like, for the most part, conservative media have chosen to ignore your story. Are you disappointed in the lack of coverage by conservative outlets?

“I’m learning a lot about the conservative movement and the Republican Party, and even the MAGA movement. What I’m realizing is that I’m estranged with them on their positions towards gay ‘marriage’ and abortion.

Here's a size comparison of "unclassified" space stations. The National Reconnaissance Office has maintained at least one large "classified" space station that dwarfs the ISS since the 1970s. This NRO used the aborted Manned Orbiting Laboratory modules built by Douglas Aircraft, for constructing its secret space station(s).

On June 11, 1985, President Reagan let it slip that the US had the capacity to host 300 people in Earth orbit. None of the unclassified US space stations could hold anywhere near that.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) continued to take aim Thursday at former President Biden’s White House physician Kevin O’Connor after the doctor would not answer questions about Biden’s health after he was called to testify this week.

“When Joe Biden’s doctor was asked under oath whether he had ever been instructed to lie about Joe Biden’s health, he pleaded the Fifth,” Comer posted on the social platform X. “When questioned under oath about whether he believed Biden was fit to serve, he again pleaded the Fifth.”

DOJ Subpoenas Transgender Clinics And Doctors For Transitioning Children

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has issued nearly 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics involved in performing transgender medical procedures on children, a DOJ official announced on Wednesday.

The Justice Department’s Chad Mizelle made the announcement during the Federal Trade Commission’s workshop on the “Dangers of ‘Gender Affirming-Care’ For Minors” in Washington, D.C. Mizelle shared that DOJ has issued nearly 20 subpoenas against clinics who are engaged in transgender transition attempts, noting that the DOJ’s investigations include healthcare fraud, false statements, and more.

Mizelle urged Americans to come forward if they could provide information about deceptive practices in the transgender medicine industry, saying Wednesday: “If you are someone who has been harmed please come forward and let us know.”

Immediately following his announcement, Mizelle introduced a panel of detransitioner survivors and parents, including Prisha Mosley, Soren Aldaco, Beth Bourne, Forrest Smith, Helen Spiegel Lee, and Gwen Turecki, individuals who emotionally shared their experiences as they navigated gender transition attempts or helped — or lost — a family member who attempted to transition.

The workshop signals the FTC’s interest in combatting the transgender medicine industry, following the directives of President Donald Trump’s executive orders on protecting children from transgender procedures and combatting radical ideology.

During Wednesday’s event, doctors, medical ethicists, whistleblowers, detransitioners, and parents of survivors focused on the deceptive practices often found within the transgender medicine industry. One mother, Elvira Syed, broke down sobbing as she described how her daughter ultimately committed suicide.

“I lost my 18-year-old daughter,” she sobs. “To gender ideology.”

The FTC notes, in a description of the event, that “Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act gives the FTC broad authority to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices.”

“This authority could be implicated if there is evidence that medical professionals or others omitted warnings about the risks or made false or unsupported claims about the benefits and effectiveness of gender-affirming care for minors,” the description notes. “The workshop will help the FTC to understand whether consumers are being or have been exposed to false or unsupported claims about ‘gender-affirming care’ and to gauge the harms consumers may be experiencing.”

Crazy footage shows a Red Mazda driving through a fence at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia on Thursday, while fleeing a chase with local police near Tidewater Drive. The base was briefly placed on lockdown, with the driver of the car being swiftly detained by Defenders with the 633d Security Forces Squadron before being turned over to the Hampton Police Department.

Soros Network Linked to Lawsuit Trying to Stop Trump from Ending ‘Temporary’ Amnesty Program

John Binder10 Jul 2025

George and Alex Soros’s left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) network is linked to a lawsuitthat seeks to stop President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending a temporary quasi-amnesty program for tens of thousands of migrants in the United States.

This week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants in the U.S. from Honduras and Nicaragua. Last month, Noem similarly announced an end to TPS for migrants from Nepal.

Though meant to be temporary, since the Clinton administration, TPS has been transformed into a de facto amnesty program as nearly every president has routinely extended it and designated new countries for TPS status— allowing hundreds of thousands of migrants to stay in the U.S. and hold American jobs despite otherwise having no legal status.

As Breitbart News reported, migrants are now suing to block DHS from ending TPS for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal. The migrants are represented by lawyers from the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and the Haitian Bridge Alliance, among other NGOs.

The National Day Laborer Organizing Network has received millions from Soros’s Open Society Foundations from 2016 through 2022. In 2019, alone, the Open Society Foundations gave the NGO about $460,000 in funding while in 2022, the NGO got $675,000 from the Open Society Foundations.

Likewise, the Open Society Foundations has showered the Haitian Bridge Alliance with $550,000 to date, with those funds coming in 2020 and 2021.

In the migrants’ lawsuit, they accuse Trump and Noem of racism— arguing that they are being targeted because they are non-white, non-Europeans.

“Although it has become increasingly normalized, the fact remains that Secretary Noem, President Trump, and members of the Trump campaign and administration have consistently used racist invective to describe their TPS decisions involving immigrants from non-white, non-European countries, including those involving the countries at issue here,” the lawsuit claims.

Alex and George Soros’s network of NGOs is behind several lawsuits against the Trump administration, mainly those looking to prevent DHS from enforcing federal immigration law, ending birthright citizenship, and cracking down on migrant child trafficking.

Benz says these NGOs have been helpful to the U.S. in certain circumstances, that’s why they allow them to be. Cut the GD NGOs off once and for all. Stop using our power to control other countries!

The Maryland Army National Guard has launched an investigation into Tim Kennedy, a Green Beret serving as a Master Sergeant in the National Guard’s Special Operations Detachment-O, known for his career as an MMA Fighter as well as his close-relationship amongst the veteran community and senior leadership at the Pentagon, after he publicly admitted this week to lying about parts of his military service, including falsely claiming on a tv show in 2017 that he received a Bronze Star Medal with Valor. Major Benjamin Hughes, a Spokesman for the Maryland National Guard stated, “The Maryland National Guard takes these matters seriously. Integrity is a core value of our organization, so an investigation is currently underway to review the facts surrounding these public misstatements.”
