‘Real Alien Sh*t’: US Pilot Reportedly Describes What He Saw Moment Before Iran Blew Him Out Of Sky

/0 Comments/in /by

The U.S. pilot who was downed over Iran in early April described seeing a “jellyfish”-like swarm of drones the moment he ejected out of his aircraft, according to a report

The downing of the F-15 fighter jet, which carried the pilot and a weapons system officer, in early April marked the first time a U.S. combat plane was shot down over Iran since the war began. The rescued pilot told intelligence officials during a debrief that he saw what appeared to be a formation of drones all moving in unison, CNN reported.

“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” a source familiar with the pilot’s account said, according to CNN. “Real alien shit.”

Another source told the outlet that the pilot described a “minefield of drones.”

Intelligence officials are torn over whether the pilot’s account is fully true, CNN reported. The pilot suffered a concussion during the crash and was also the same pilot who had been accidentally shot down in a friendly-fire incident with the Kuwaiti forces earlier in the war, according to CNN’s sources. It is also unclear whether the weapons system officer saw anything similar to the pilot’s description.

Netherlands Euthanizes Child Under 12 in First Case Since Major Law Change

/0 Comments/in /by

A terminally ill child under the age of 12 was euthanized in the Netherlands for the first time — two years after a major change to the country’s assisted dying laws came into force.

Dutch Health Minister Sophie Hermans said the “incurably ill” child died last year, but didn’t reveal details about their age or illness during her annual report presentation to the House of Representatives on Monday, according to NOS.

Prosecutors will now decide whether the doctor involved in the case acted legally, Hermans revealed in a letter to the lawmakers.

The Dutch government legalized euthanasia for severely ill children between the ages of 1 and 12 in 2024.

“Euthanasia is only allowed for patients whose unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement has a medical dimension,” the government says.

“This can be the case with somatic diseases such as cancer or cardiovascular disease, but also with psychiatric disorders, dementia or multiple geriatric syndromes.” (Read more from “Netherlands Euthanizes Child Under 12 in First Case Since Major Law Change” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Breaks from GOP: ‘No Chance I Would Support the Republican Party’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson broke from the Republican Party, stating that he was no longer able to support a party that “puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens.

While speaking on an episode of the Can’t Be Censored podcast, Carlson criticized the Trump administration for not being serious when it comes to strengthening the U.S. relationship with Canada and for being “completely focused on the Middle East.” Carlson also stated that the United States had gone to war with Iran “because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel.”

Carlson also pointed out that Canada is the United States’ “closest ally in the world” and “most important,” adding that “what happens in Canada matters a lot more than what happens in Israel or Lebanon or Iraq or Iran.”

When asked by host Karman Wong if he thought that the upcoming midterm elections would be “the first chance” to get a “temperature read” on how Americans feel about the Trump administration, Carlson pointed out that the polls “tell a pretty clear story about it.”

“Well, the poll numbers now are … tell a pretty clear story about it. I would not support the Republican Party, there’s no chance I would support the Republican Party,” Carlson said. “No going to support the Democratic Party, I don’t know what I’m going to do. But, at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voters support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States? That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Breaks from GOP: ‘No Chance I Would Support the Republican Party’” HERE)

Trump gets Into Shouting Match with Sen. Bill Cassidy over Iran War in Closed-Door Meeting; ‘Cluster F*ck’: Trump’s Dramatic Feud With Senate Republicans Boils Over

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. President Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) got into a shouting match during a lunch meeting Wednesday over the US war with Iran, according to sources and lawmakers who were in attendance.

GOP senators described Trump as being “mad as a murder hornet” and raising his voice at the Louisiana Republican for joining three other Republicans in a vote limiting his wartime authority.

Cassidy — who later quipped that the talks went “swimmingly” — called the president “my brother” several times during the heated exchange to lower tensions, Senate GOP sources said. The president spat back that Cassidy wasn’t his brother and told him to sit down, per CNN.

“[Trump] did not particularly care for my comments, raised his voice, I lost my temper,” Cassidy later recounted to reporters. “It’s the Irish in me.”

“But again I matched his tone and his volume, and it went back and forth,” he further explained. “So I sat down and tried to de-escalate. I guess my point is, though, that the American people need to know more than we are being told. The Senate needs to know.”

Cassidy lost his reelection to the Senate this year, when Trump backed his primary opponent in Louisiana. (Read more from “Trump gets Into Shouting Match with Sen. Bill Cassidy over Iran War in Closed-Door Meeting” HERE)

‘Cluster F*ck’: Trump’s Dramatic Feud With Senate Republicans Boils Over

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated appearance at the Senate Republicans’ weekly lunch took a turn for the worse, deepening the ideological fault lines between Congress and the White House.

Trump met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his Republican colleagues Wednesday to address disagreements on policies related to the Iran war and his flagship election integrity bill, known as the SAVE America Act.

These tensions reached a boiling point after Trump canceled the signing of a major bipartisan housing bill moments before the lunch was set to take place, in an attempt to further pressure the Senate to make progress on the SAVE America Act.

The lunch quickly escalated after Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy — who is serving his last term after Trump backed a successful primary challenger — unloaded on the president for the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. A person familiar with the conversations told the Caller that Cassidy “went nuts over Iran,” saying the two got into a shouting match.

Trump reportedly told Cassidy to sit down and called him a “lunatic” when he refused. Cassidy also referred to Trump as “brother,” leading Trump to push back and say he wasn’t his “brother.”

Republicans Break with Trump to Rebuke Iran War — but it Won’t Change Policy

/0 Comments/in /by

Senate Democrats scored another win in pushing back against President Donald Trump’s war in Iran on Tuesday, but the symbolic victory won’t actually curb his war powers in the region.

Aided by absences from Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Dave McCormick, R-Pa., Democrats and a handful of Republicans passed a war powers resolution rebuking the conflict in Iran. It’s the same resolution that passed the House earlier this month in a rare display of House Republicans breaking with Trump.

Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Bill Cassidy, R-La., joined nearly every Senate Democrat to adopt the resolution on a 50 to 48 vote.

But unlike several previous attempts in the Senate to curb Trump’s authority, the House-passed measure does not carry any legally binding weight and won’t go to the president’s desk for his signature, where it would likely be vetoed.

Still, after stumbling last week, Democrats notched another victory against the war. (Read more from “Republicans Break with Trump to Rebuke Iran War — but it Won’t Change Policy” HERE)

Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Treasure Cache at Biblical City Connected to Genesis

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Archaeologists have uncovered a cache of ancient treasure at the site of Heliopolis, the storied Egyptian city mentioned in the biblical story of Joseph. . . 

Heliopolis, known in the Bible as “On,” makes multiple appearances in Genesis, the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Ezekiel. 

Genesis 41:45 notes that Joseph’s wife, Asenath, was the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of the city.  

The cache, found beneath a burial structure containing human remains, included five pairs of yellow-colored metal earrings that archaeologists believe may be made of gold.

Pictures released by officials show the earrings along with carved scarabs and other small artifacts, as well as cosmetic containers and a copper mirror. (Read more from “Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Treasure Cache at Biblical City Connected to Genesis” HERE)

Poll Shows Wide Support for Less Legalized Migration

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thirty-three percent of Americans — and 54 percent of Trump voters — say legalized immigration should be reduced or zeroed out, according to a poll for a globalist magazine.

Twenty-three percent of respondents and 46 percent of liberals, but only 8 percent of Republicans, said immigration should be increased, according to the June poll of 1,549 citizens.

Swing-voting moderates split 28 percent for less or zero migration, and 20 percent want migration to be increased, said the poll, which was conducted for The Economist magazine.

A large 30 percent slice of respondents said legal migration levels should be kept at current levels. But there is no evidence that the YouGov pollster provided any information to those respondents that the current inflow of permanent and temporary legalized migration delivers roughly two new migrants for every four U.S. births each year.

The “not sure” option was picked by 15 percent of all respondents and 1 percent of independents. (Read more from “Poll Shows Wide Support for Less Legalized Migration” HERE)

Trump Official says US Control of Greenland Could Bring Back All-You-can-Eat Shrimp at Red Lobster

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Trump-appointed official who has spent years promoting closer American ties with Greenland says doing so could have an unexpected payoff: the return of all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster.

Thomas Dans, the chairman of the US Arctic Research Commission and a Texas financier, made the unusual suggestion in a New Yorker magazine profile that portrayed him as one of the driving forces behind President Trump’s push to expand US influence in Greenland.

“My view is that the United States could take all the seafood Greenland could produce, and cut out the middleman, and keep it from China — and you could bring back all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster,” Dans told the New Yorker.

The magazine reported that Dans, accused by Danish authorities of helping run “influence operations” aimed at increasing American sway over the Arctic island, served on a previously undisclosed National Security Council task force focused on Greenland during Trump’s first term.

The Post has sought comment from Dans and the White House. (Read more from “Trump Official says US Control of Greenland Could Bring Back All-You-can-Eat Shrimp at Red Lobster” HERE)

Democrat Senate Nominee Says He ‘Hates Christianity’ In Old Interview With Transgender Theologian

/0 Comments/in /by

Democrat Texas Senate nominee James Talarico described himself as “a Christian who hates Christianity” in a recently unearthed episode on the “Activist Theology” podcast.

“I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity,” Talarico said during his 2021 appearance on the podcast. “And, like, I always get drawn back into [Christianity] because nowhere else in no other political philosophy, in no other economic theory, do I find anything as truly radical or revolutionary as the teachings of that barefoot rabbi, right?”

The Democrat candidate joined the “Navigating Love & Legislature” episode to discuss “Texas, his theology, and how he’s called to govern during these times.”

One of the podcast hosts, Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza, is a “non-binary transqueer Latinx” pastor. The founder of the Activist Theology Project, she is a “reluctant leader” who advocates for “transing religion.”

The Activist Theology podcast focuses on “a diversity of tactics to achieve social healing” and aims to “explore the work of liberation and healing justice.” (Read more from “Democrat Texas Senate Nominee Talarico Says He ‘Hates Christianity’ In Old Interview With Transgender Theologian” HERE)

I’m a Former CIA Officer – ‘Every Government Agency on Earth’ can Listen Through Your Phone

/7 Comments/in , , /by

A former CIA officer has warned the world that every ‘government agency on Earth’ is able to listen through your phone.

It was a scene that was met with horror in the iconic The Dark Knight film, when Batman crosses an unethical line to turn every phone in Gotham City into his personal surveillance network so he can finally track down the Joker.

Well, such dystopian nightmares are no longer restricted to the land of fiction, according to former CIA officer Jason Hanson.

It’s little wonder given the chilling revelation he shared with LADbible Stories, saying: “Every government agency on Earth can listen through your cell phone, can listen through your laptop, can listen through your cameras. It doesn’t matter what it is.

“If you think you have a cell phone that is gonna be like magic and the Agency’s not gonna listen in, they can.” (Read more from “I’m a Former CIA Officer – ‘Every Government Agency on Earth’ can Listen Through Your Phone” HERE)
