Billionaire Lost on Titanic Submersible Sent Chilling Last Text

A day before the missing OceanGate Expeditions submarine set course for a Titanic tour, billionaire passenger Hamish Harding sent a text informing his friend of bad weather.

Retired NASA astronaut Col. Terry Virts shared the final message he received from Harding with Good Morning Britain: “Hey, we’re headed out tomorrow, it looks good, the weather’s been bad so they’ve been waiting for this.” Although both were known for adventure – Harding holding three Guinness World Records, including longest duration spent at the bottom of the sea – Virts stated that they “don’t really talk about risks.”

Just before leaving, Hamish shared his excitement for the RMS Titanic Mission in an Instagram post. He was on board as a “mission specialist” according to the post. (Read more from “Billionaire Lost on Titanic Submersible Sent Chilling Last Text” HERE)

Titanic Sub Suffered from Big Defects

By CNNWire. The international investigation into the fatal Titan submersible implosion broadened on Saturday, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police saying it’s looking into whether “criminal, federal, or provincial laws may possibly have been broken.”

The announcement comes amid mounting questions about the Titan’s design, including the account of a submersible expert who said he warned the vessel’s CEO about safety concerns after a trip years ago.

When Karl Stanley was aboard the Titan for an underseas excursion off the coast of the Bahamas in April 2019, he felt there was something wrong with the vessel when loud noises were heard.

The day after his trip, Stanley sent an email to Stockton Rush, the CEO of the vessel’s operator OceanGate Expeditions, sounding the alarm on suspected defects. (Read more about the Titanic sub HERE)

Biden Calls Xi a Dictator After U.S.-China Talks

President Joe Biden called Chinese leader Xi Jinping a “dictator” on Tuesday while recalling the spy balloon incident after State Secretary Antony Blinken concluded his visit to Beijing to stabilize U.S.-China ties.

Biden said the recent incident with the Chinese spy balloon, which was shot down by the U.S. military after being blown off course over the United States, had caused “great embarrassment” for Xi.

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment in it was he didn’t know it was there,” Biden said at a fundraiser event in California.

“That’s a great embarrassment for dictators. When they didn’t know what happened. That wasn’t supposed to be going where it was. It was blown off course,” he added.

His comments came just a day after Blinken and Xi had a “robust conversation” in Beijing on June 19, during which both sides agreed on the need to stabilize the tense relations between the two powers. (Read more from “Biden Calls Xi a Dictator After U.S.-China Talks” HERE)

Chinese Military Expert Who Filed Patent for COVID Vaccine Died in Mysterious Circumstances

A Chinese military scientist who was reportedly thrown to his death from the roof of a Wuhan institute is at the centre of mounting evidence that the Covid pandemic resulted from a lab leak.

Intelligence obtained by members of the US Senate reveals that Zhou Yusen filed a patent for a Covid-19 vaccine on February 24, 2020, barely a month after China put Wuhan into lockdown because of the outbreak.

US vaccine developers told investigators that it would have been impossible to have generated the data cited in the patent so swiftly – it would have taken about three months’ work, meaning that scientists at the Wuhan Institute for Virology were secretly working on a Covid vaccine in November, two months before Beijing told the world about the pandemic.

Zhou, who worked for the People’s Liberation Army and was collaborating with Wuhan scientists at the time of the outbreak, died in mysterious circumstances in May 2020, aged 54.

US investigators are said to have been told ‘Zhou fell from the roof of the Institute’, although this has not been confirmed. (Read more from “Chinese Military Expert Who Filed Patent for COVID Vaccine Died in Mysterious Circumstances” HERE)

AMC Pulls Documentary Featuring Detransitioners From Theaters in Face of Pressure

A documentary featuring the journey of several detransitioners scheduled to hit the big screen this week was scrapped by AMC after activists mounted a pressure campaign to stop the film’s screening.

The major movie theater chain canceled showings of “No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care” yet producers of the film are claiming AMC caved to the demands of a transgender advocacy group called Queer Trans Project, according to Fox News. . .

One of the detransitioners in the film panned the cancellation during an interview with Fox News.

“I think it’s incredibly dangerous to set this precedent of suppressing free speech, suppressing viewpoints that basically are just unpopular or difficult to deal with,” Laura Becker said.

The 90-minute film claims to feature the stories of detransitioners, as well as a dozen experts in related fields. Press materials for the film say it examines the risks and long-term implications of gender-affirming medication.

DNC in Disarray: Biden Looks Likely to Lose First Two Contests of 2024

As Townhall has covered since Democrat party bosses decided to upend their party’s 2024 primary schedule last December, President Joe Biden’s party might have taken action that will see the incumbent president lose the first two contests of the looming primary season.

In February when the DNC voted to formally approve the new schedule, Townhall noted that “there’s still an uncertain and rocky road ahead for Democrats due to state laws and other yet-to-be-fully-determined problems.”

As it turns out, that rocky road included bumps that turned out to be insurmountable for the national Democrat leaders who sought to remove first in the nation status from Iowa (caucuses) and New Hampshire (primary) and give it to South Carolina, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada a few days later and rounded out with Michigan and Georgia primaries earlier in the cycle.

In a reality that is looking “increasingly likely” according to an Axios report last Thursday, Iowa and New Hampshire will still be the first states to hold their contests before South Carolina’s primary, states where “Biden’s team is indicating he won’t be on the ballots” if they end up bucking the DNC’s officially sanctioned calendar.

Biden Pledges Climate Action ‘By 2020′ (VIDEO)

If it’s a day that ends in “y,” President Joe Biden is probably trying and failing to deliver public remarks without causing confusion. On Monday, the president was in California to deliver “remarks on the climate crisis,” but one line stood out because it sounded as though he had taken a time machine, not Air Force One, to the West Coast.

“And maybe most important, I’ve committed that by 2020, we will have conserved 30 percent of all the lands and waters the United States has jurisdiction over and simultaneously reduced emissions to blunt climate impact,” Biden declared in his speech that followed remarks by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), a potential 2024 primary challenger to Biden waiting in the wings — especially as Biden’s fitness (or lack thereof) becomes more of an issue.

Despite declaring confidently that he had committed “by twenty-twenty” to conserve a significant portion of federal land, Joe Biden was not president in 2020. He took office in January 2021. In 2020, Biden was still running a presidential campaign from his basement. Nevertheless, he persisted? (Read more from “Biden Pledges Climate Action ‘By 2020′ (VIDEO)” HERE)

WATCH: Police Release Video Showing Attack Against Pro-Lifers Outside Planned Parenthood

Baltimore Police recently released video surveillance of an unidentified male attacking two pro-life advocates in front of a Planned Parenthood last month.

Dick Schafer, 80, and Mark Crosby, 73, were assaulted and injured outside the abortion facility on N. Howard Street. While Schafer reportedly had been recovering at home after the attack, Crosby received treatment for a large hematoma, hyphemia, and head and neck pain at the University of Maryland’s shock trauma facility.

Central District Detectives released the video on Thursday in a bid to find the person involved in the assault, which occurred on May 26, 2023. The footage shows the unknown suspect, described as a white male with brown hair and a full beard, wearing a gray T-shirt, blue jeans, and brown shoes. . .

Local pro-lifer John Roswell said the suspect asked Planned Parenthood “deathscorts” to hold his drink before attacking Schafer, who reportedly had his back turned away from the person at the time of the assault,” The Daily Wire previously reported.

Dem Senator Ripped for Pulling Shotgun on Unarmed Black Jogger After Juneteenth Post

Sen. John Fetterman’s Monday Twitter post celebrating Juneteenth and “Black lives” was mocked by users of the social media platform — who were quick to point out that the Pennsylvania Democrat had once pulled a shotgun on an unarmed black jogger.

“Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate emancipation + reflect on the long shadow of systemic racism in America,” Fetterman wrote on the social media platform.

“PA always stands by the unshakeable truth that Black families matter + Black lives matter,” the former mayor of Braddock, Pa., added.

The post triggered a flood of replies, with some users accusing Fetterman of engaging in racial profiling during a 2013 incident in which he pursued a running African-American man and pulled a shotgun on him because he wrongly believed his quarry had been involved in a shooting.

“Senator, why don’t you tell that story about that time you chased a black jogger and held a shotgun on him because you thought he was a criminal?” former Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a tweet.

Blinken Bends the Knee to Xi in Beijing Visit, Fails to Secure Key Military Communication Deal

Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a long-anticipated trip to China in mid-June, making several key concessions to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and failing to secure a key military communication agreement.

Blinken left for China on Friday and will make his return Wednesday, but has already met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Director of the CCP Central Foreign Affairs Office Wang Yi and Foreign Minister Qin Gang. Blinken made the trip with the goal of “stabilizing” U.S.-China relations and repeatedly emphasized the Biden administration was not seeking conflict with Beijing.

Blinken said one of his foremost goals was to open up a line of military-to-military direct communication for times of crisis. Despite the priority team Biden placed on this request, the CCP once again turned down the offer, Blinken said Monday.

China has rebuffed Biden’s offers for more direct military communications multiple times in recent months, including turning down a recent offer for high-level meetings with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Pornography Consumption Linked to Serious Health Issue for Men: Study

A new study has revealed a concerning link between men who watch porn and a serious health condition.

New reports suggest a significant link between men who watch “problematic” pornography and the likelihood of them developing an eating disorder, according to research published in Body Image.

Researchers from the University of Haifa and the Max Stern Yezreel Valley College in Israel conducted the study, which was released earlier this month.

A total of 705 men participated in the study, ranging in age from 18 to 68, with the average age 32.

Roughly 68 percent of the men stated that they were heterosexual, with the rest identifying as a sexual minority group. (Read more from “Pornography Consumption Linked to Serious Health Issue for Men: Study” HERE)
