The Latest RFK Jr. Story is Beyond Surreal

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the basis for two of the most bizarre stories in the 2024 cycle. The first was that his brain had been partially eaten by worms, which he blamed on consuming too many tuna sandwiches. Kennedy has zero shot of winning the 2024 election, but his handlers wanted to tell us that even with parts of his brain eaten by parasites, it shouldn’t impede him from carrying out duties as our chief executive. Now, he’s the man behind the dead bear cub that was discovered in Central Park ten years ago.

Kennedy was trying to get ahead of a story about him regarding this incident, so he decided to tell actor Roseanne Barr, who said he had witnessed the car collision that killed the bear. It was still in good condition, so he wanted to skin and eat it later. Kennedy laughably says this was due to the redneck in him. I don’t even know what this means; he’s a Kennedy, the furthest thing from rednecks. Circumstances changed, which led to him dumping the bear in Central Park, staging it as if the cub had been hit by a bicycle. (Read more from “The Latest RFK Jr. Story is Beyond Surreal” HERE)

US Embassy Issues Urgent Security Alert, Warns Citizens to Flee Ahead of ‘Emergency Situations’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The U.S. embassy in Lebanon issued a warning to American citizens on Saturday to leave the country ahead of possible “emergency situations.”

The security alert recommended U.S. citizens in Lebanon make plans to leave or prepare to “shelter in place for an extended period of time.” The alert comes as the country anticipates a retaliation effort from Israel following a missile attack from Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorists that killed 12 children on July 27.

“We encourage those who wish to depart Lebanon to book any ticket available to them, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their first-choice route,” the embassy alert reads. “We recommend that U.S. citizens who choose not to depart Lebanon prepare contingency plans for emergency situations and be prepared to shelter in place for an extended period of time.”

Several airlines have suspended or canceled flights to the country, however commercial options are still available, according to the alert.

“We recommend U.S. citizens develop a crisis plan of action and leave before a crisis begins,” Rena Bitter, U.S. assistant secretary of state for the bureau of consular affairs, said in a video posted to the U.S. Embassy in Beirut X account on July 29.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Frontier Airlines pilot was arrested aboard an aircraft Saturday before departure at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, CBS News reported.

Houston police handcuffed and removed Seymour Walker, 45, from Flight 3195 just ahead of its scheduled departure to Dallas, according to CBS News. An arrest warrant had been issued for the pilot accused of assault involving family violence, the outlet reported. The incident reportedly took place around 4 p.m., as passengers were boarding the aircraft.

Texas law enforcement officials boarded the aircraft at a specific gate after all passengers deplaned and took Walker into “custody without incident,” according to the outlet, citing police. Frontier Airlines confirmed the incident and subsequent disruption in a statement to CBS News.

“The activity occurred prior to the start of boarding for Flight 3195 scheduled from IAH to Dallas Forth Worth (DFW). A replacement crew member was not immediately available and therefore the flight was canceled,” Frontier Airlines said in a statement, CBS News reported.

Majority Blame Secret Service for Trump Assassination Attempt, Few Trust Agency: Poll

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new poll out Thursday found an overwhelming majority of Americans say the Secret Service bears some responsibility for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump last month.

According to the Associated Press survey, 7 in 10 Americans believe “the Secret Service bears at least a moderate amount of responsibility for the assassination attempt” with 4 in 10 believing the agency “bears a high level of responsibility.”

The AP poll also found 3 in 10 said they were “extremely or very confident” the agency can keep presidential contenders safe.

The survey results were published just a week after the Secret Service requested the Trump campaign halt outdoor rallies ostensibly without the same handicap placed on the former president’s Democrat challenger. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle also resigned in disgrace last week as new details continued to surface exposing the agency’s reckless disregard for the safety of the Republican presidential nominee. Cheatle stepped down after testifying before the House Oversight Committee wherein the Secret Service chief struggled to answer lawmakers’ questions and said her agency had no radio recordings from the day Trump was shot.

Part of the former president’s right ear was blown off by a would-be assassin at a Pennsylvania rally last month after the gunman fired off eight shots in under six seconds killing a rallygoer and injuring two others, in addition to Trump. The 20-year-old shooter fired from the rooftop roughly 150 yards from the stage. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa., released bodycam footage Tuesday of officers after the shooting spree wherein they spoke about spotting the killer before the attempted assassination.

Israel Says Attacks Imminent From ‘Iran’s Axis of Evil’ — and Vows to ‘Exact a Heavy Price’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel says it expects to be imminently and simultaneously attacked by “Iran’s axis of evil” — Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and Iranian military forces.

Iran allegedly told Arab leaders Saturday that it doesn’t care if the attacks cause a wider-spread war.

And Israeli leaders Sunday all but assured that would happen if Iran and its terror proxies launch their expected multifront assaults.

“We are striking every one of its arms with great force,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed during a cabinet meeting Sunday, referring to the Mideast “axis of evil,” according to Bloomberg News.

“We are prepared for any scenario – both offensively and defensively,” Netanyahu said. “I repeat to our enemies: We will respond and exact a heavy price for any act of aggression against us from any arena.” (Read more from “Israel Says Attacks Imminent From ‘Iran’s Axis of Evil’ — and Vows to ‘Exact a Heavy Price’” HERE)

Neuralink Implanted Second Trial Patient With Brain Chip, Musk Says

/3 Comments/in , /by

Neuralink has successfully implanted in a second patient its device designed to give paralyzed patients the ability to use digital devices by thinking alone, according to the startup’s owner Elon Musk.

Neuralink is in the process of testing its device, which is intended to help people with spinal cord injuries.

The device has allowed the first patient to play video games, browse the internet, post on social media and move a cursor on his laptop.

Musk, in comments made during a podcast released late on Friday that ran more than eight hours, gave few details about the second participant beyond saying the person had a spinal cord injury similar to the first patient, who was paralyzed in a diving accident. Musk said 400 of the implant’s electrodes on the second patient’s brain are working. Neuralink on its website states that its implant uses 1,024 electrodes.

“I don’t want to jinx it but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant,” Musk told podcast host Lex Fridman. “There’s a lot of signal, a lot of electrodes. It’s working very well.” (Read more from “Neuralink Implanted Second Trial Patient With Brain Chip, Musk Says” HERE)

Why the West Will Return to Christ

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .I say this having traveled to the farthest depths of secular nihilism myself — and having been jilted by the its false promise. The world of pure rationality posited by the “secular fundamentalist” is a dead world in which life’s universal drive to live — and to live beautifully — is silenced, buried, and disposed of.

Men cannot live in such a world for long. Eventually, human beings observe the ugliness produced by this manner of thinking, living, and believing — and they experience their “moment.”

They pull back, they get canceled, they become disgusted and disillusioned with the very beliefs they once so fervently shouted in the streets. Such a man knows by what he has observed that the fall of man could well be true — and if he has any wits about him, he recognizes that every soul on earth needs guidance to contend with his own fallen nature.

Where better to find such guidance than from an institution that has weathered every storm of the tumultuous history of the West — a contiguous lineage of wisdom that has never been broken since the time of Christ? Its authority was not invented or improvised; it was not created on the fly by false prophets at such and such a date — it was born by the word of the Lord, and it lives.

And what is the antidote to man’s wayward nature but selfless love of the other? Was this not, in many cases, the original impetus that brought many human beings to crave “social justice”? Was the secular vision of this thing complete? Was it effective? (Read more from “Why the West Will Return to Christ” HERE)

Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index Plunges 7% as Worries Over US Economy Shake World Markets

/0 Comments/in , /by

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index plunged as much as 7.1% early Monday before recovering some lost ground, extending sell-offs that began last week.

At one point, the Nikkei shed more than 2,500 points. By the time of the Tokyo market’s midday break, the index was down about 5.5%, or about 1,900 points, at 33,945.43. . .

Stocks tumbled Friday on worries the U.S. economy could be cracking under the weight of high interest rates meant to tame inflation. Early Monday, the future for the S&P 500 was 1.4% lower and that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.5%.

“To put it mildly, the spike in volatility-of-volatility is a spectacle that underlines just how jittery markets have become,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. “The real question now looms: Can the typical market reflex to sell volatility or buy the market dip prevail over the deep-seated anxiety brought on by this sudden and sharp recession scare?” (Read more from “Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index Plunges 7% as Worries Over US Economy Shake World Markets” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of “CBS Sunday Morning” that President Joe Biden should be added to Mt. Rushmore.

Host Lesley Stahl asked, “Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside.”

Pelosi said, “Well, I have never shared any conversations with a President of the United States publicly, so no.” . . .

Pelosi said, “I wasn’t the leader of any pressure. Let me say things I didn’t do. I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody. What I’m saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be, and I said that. Whatever that is, we’ll go with.”

She added, “He was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential President of the United States., a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States.” (Read more from “Pelosi: President Biden Should Be Added to Mt. Rushmore” HERE)
