Blast From the Past: Was World’s First Fatal Nuclear Explosion Sparked by a Love Triangle?

/0 Comments/in , /by

People in this remote, high-desert town still talk about the alleged mysterious love triangle that, 60 years ago, triggered a murder-suicide — and resulted in the world’s first fatal nuclear explosion.

The accident never got the same attention as Three Mile Island (1979), Chernobyl (1986) or Fukushima (2011). But the sensational story behind it lives in infamy, even though some experts believe it may have been made up by government officials.

This single sentence is true: Army Specialists Jack Byrnes, 22, and Richard McKinley, 26, and Navy Seabee Richard Legg, 26, died violent, gruesome deaths on Jan. 3, 1961, at the US Army’s pioneering SL-1 reactor in Idaho.

Located some five miles from Atomic City, in the desolate Lost River desert, the reactor was part of the Army’s plan to establish portable nuclear power at remote bases in the Arctic during the height of the Cold War.

The three men were known to partake in strippers and alcohol in Idaho Falls during their off-hours. Hotheaded Byrnes and prankster Legg, who had been promoted above Byrnes, were rivals at work and had reportedly once gotten into a drunken fistfight at a party. Legg had also taunted Byrnes, who was married with a 2-year-old son, about him cheating on his wife with a local hooker.

Parents Announce ‘Not a Domestic Terrorist’ March in Washington

/0 Comments/in , /by

By the time Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland realizes what an incredibly stupid memo he wrote to the president accusing parents of ‘”harassment and intimidation” of school board members, his boss will probably be a lame-duck president ready to be put out to pasture.

Republicans couldn’t have drawn it up any better. What’s the best way to show how radical the Biden administration is? How about threatening parents with a federal investigation because they want a say in what their children are being taught?

That parental pushback will take substantive form on October 17, when there will be a “Not a Domestic Terrorist” rally in front of the Department of Justice Building.

The parental pushback issue has roiled the Virginia gubernatorial race. Democrat Terry McAuliffe made the gaffe of the race — so far — when he said he didn’t “think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” His opponent, Republican Glenn Youngkin, is firing with both barrels, blanketing the state with $3 million in ads about education.

Pfizer Auditor Blows Lid on Vaccine Maker, Reveals Why She Decided To Come Forward; NBA Player Reveals Reaction To COVID Vaccine Ended His Season

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. A Pfizer whistleblower said that she decided to expose her company after a decade of working for them because she feels that people are not making informed decisions about what goes into their body.

Melissa McAtee told The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens that she had damming information on Pfizer, which recently had their COVID-19 vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but did not elect to reveal it until another whistleblower for the company spoke on why they had come forward. . .

McAtee, who was a quality auditor at Pfizer, noticed that the vaccine was glowing under a certain light and, even after alerting the company, the issue was still ignored. She also noted that fellow employees who had worked at the company for upwards of 40 years had never seen what was going on with this vaccine.

She said in a Project Veritas interview made public last week that internal Pfizer emails from high-level employees instructed workers not to reveal to the public the role aborted fetal cells played in the development of its coronavirus vaccine. . .

She also noted that the company engaged in secrecy, such as shutting down hallways and certain processes, when they knew that the FDA would be coming to the plant. (Read more from “Pfizer Auditor Blows Lid on Vaccine Maker, Reveals Why She Decided To Come Forward” HERE)

NBA Player Reveals Adverse Reaction to COVID Vaccine Ended Season

By WND. Amid the controversy over basketball superstar Kyrie Irving’s refusal to take a COVID-19 vaccine, a former NBA player says his season ended early last year after he developed blood clots he attributes to a COVID shot.

Brandon Goodwin, who was a point guard for the Atlanta Hawks, recently told his side of the story on a Twitch stream, SB Nation reported. . .
“I got sick and I never quite recovered from it,” Goodwin said on the stream, as posted on YouTube. “I would always have back pain, I was just super tired in the games.”

“That’s when I found out I had blood clots. That all within the span of a month,” he said.

“I was fine until then,” Goodwin said. “I was fine up until I took the vaccine, I was fine.” (Read more from “NBA Player Reveals Adverse Reaction to COVID Vaccine Ended Season” HERE)

Military Judge BLASTS Marine Corps’ Handling of Officer Who Criticized Afghanistan Withdrawal

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A military judge on Friday blasted the Marine Corps’ handling of the case of an officer who criticized the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan via videos posted to social media.

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller a day earlier had pleaded guilty to six charges stemming from videos he posted to Facebook and LinkedIn in which he demanded accountability from those in leadership over the messy evacuation.

But instead of taking the prosecution’s punishment request — where Scheller would have had to forfeit $5,000 of pay a month for six months and receive a letter of reprimand — Marine Corps judge Col. Glen Hines Hines only directed he forfeit $5,000 pay for one month, Military Times reported.

In explaining his decision, Hines said in Scheller’s videos showed a “confused” and “significantly frustrated” man instead of a potentially violent service member the military portrayed Scheller as in charge sheets, according to the outlet. . .

But the judge also called out the Marines for placing Scheller in the brig prior to the trial, a move that raised the “specter of unlawful command influence,” and created intense media scrutiny that doesn’t happen for “99 percent” of other courts-martial, Military Times reported.

Biden Flip-Flops, Now Reinstating Trump’s ‘Remain-in-Mexico’ Policy

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden used some of his important first hours in office last winter to try to undo President Trump’s largely successful efforts at shutting off the flow of illegal aliens coming into the U.S. across its southern border.

Besides halting plans to continue building physical barriers on the border, Biden dropped President Trump’s “remain-in-Mexico” policy through which those seeking asylum remained in Mexico until hearings before a U.S. immigration court.

The U.S. Supreme Court earlier ruled that was a decision Biden mishandled, and now the president is admitting defeat and plans to reinstate it.

The Daily Mail reports the actual result now will depend on approval from the Mexican government, which has raised some issues U.S. officials say they are trying to address.

“Mexico wants cases to generally conclude within six months and ensure that asylum-seekers have timely and accurate information about hearing dates and times and better access to legal counsel,” the report explained.

U.S. To Drop COVID International Travel Ban – Here’s the Catch

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US will drop its international travel ban for fully vaccinated foreigners from Nov. 8, a White House official said.

The Biden administration, which is expected to make an official announcement on Friday, is lifting travel restrictions for those arriving in the US at land borders and via air, an official told Reuters.

Non-US citizens from 33 countries, including China, India, Brazil and most of Europe, have been banned from entering the US for much of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The White House revealed last month that restrictions would be lifted for air travelers, but they did not disclose an exact date at the time.

International travelers will need to show proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test before boarding a flight. Those arriving at land borders, however, won’t need to show proof of a negative test. (Read more from “U.S. To Drop COVID International Travel Ban – Here’s the Catch” HERE)

Large Majority of TSA Workers Unvaccinated as Deadline Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s announced vaccine mandate for private employers is being blamed for flight disruptions, and now his mandate for federal workers is posing the threat of further travel chaos with the TSA admitting that 40% of its agents remain unvaccinated six weeks before the deadline.

“We have about 60 percent of our workforce has been vaccinated, that that number needs to go quite a bit higher over the next few weeks,” Transportation Security Administration Administrator David Pekoske told CNN.

The Nov. 22 deadline is only two days prior to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which usually is the nation’s busiest travel day of the year.

“We are building contingency plans, for if we do have some staffing shortages as a result of this, but I hope to avoid that,” Pekoske said.

Meanwhile, the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Union, known as SMART, announced on behalf of its 203,000 members that it is standing against forced vaccination. (Read more from “Large Majority of TSA Workers Unvaccinated as Deadline Looms” HERE)

U.S. Soldiers, Including Navy SEALS, Suing Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberty Counsel on Friday announced a class action lawsuit on behalf of members of all five branches of the U.S. military – the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard – against President Joe Biden over his orders they take the experimental COVID shots or face dishonorable discharge.

“The Biden administration has no authority to require the COVID shots for the military or for federal employees or civilian contractors,” explained Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel chairman.

“Nor can the Biden administration pretend that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment do not apply to its unlawful mandates. The commander-in-chief must end this shameful treatment and abuse of our brave military heroes. Forcing the COVID shots without consent or consideration for their sincere religious beliefs is illegal.”

The action in U.S. District Court in Florida is on behalf of two Navy SEALs, a Navy EOD Officer, a Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer, a Navy Chaplain, two Marine Lt. Colonels, two Marine Lance Corporals, an Air Force Major, an Air Force Technical Sergeant, an Army National Guardsman, an Army Colonel, and a Coast Guard Lieutenant.

It seeks a temporary restraining order preventing Biden and his appointees from “enforcing, threatening to enforce, attempting to enforce, or otherwise requiring compliance with the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate…” (Read more from “U.S. Soldiers, Including Navy Seals, Suing Biden” HERE)

Biden Wants To Prosecute Trump Loyalists Defying Congressional Subpoenas

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden said Friday he believed the Justice Department should prosecute individuals defying Congressional subpoenas to testify to the January 6th select committee.

Biden was questioned by reporters about individuals such as Steve Bannon who defied the subpoena, citing former President Donald Trump’s executive privilege.

Biden said he wanted to see Trump loyalists prosecuted if they refused to appear before the committee to investigate Trump supporters who stormed Capitol Hill on January 6th.

“I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable,” Biden said. (Read more from “Biden Wants To Prosecute Trump Loyalists Defying Congressional Subpoenas” HERE)

Report: Hunter Biden Said Offer From Powerful Chinese Investor Had ‘Everything To Do With My Last Name’; John Kerry Has $1 Million Invested in Chinese Fund Supporting Black-Listed Company

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Newly-unveiled emails reveal Hunter Biden admitted a Chinese businessman was solely interested in a business deal due to his “last name” — or his association with his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday on emails dated 2010-2011 between Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer regarding Che Fung — head of the Chinese investment company Ever Union Capital — several years before Che was arrested on money laundering charges in Beijing. These emails were discovered on the infamous laptop Biden abandoned in a Delaware repair shop.

Reporter Chuck Ross says Hunter wrote in September 2011 that his business deal with Che — nicknamed “Super Chairman” and “Mr. Che” in other emails — had “everything to do with my last name.” The emails reveal Hunter met with Che in April of 2010 to negotiate a deal with Ever Union Capital to invest nearly $150 million in the Communist regime’s sovereign wealth fund. It is unclear whether this potential deal was ever completed.

The revealed emails also reportedly indicate Hunter and business partner Archer saw the business connection to Che as an opportunity to make connections with large financial institutions, such as Blackstone and Carlyle Group, which reportedly sought business deals in China.

“I dont [sic] believe in lottery tickets anymore, but I do believe in the super chairman,” Hunter wrote on September 23, 2011, according to the report. “Things are moving rapidly and the percentage he is offering me is much larger than I at first thought.” (Read more from “Report: Hunter Biden Said Offer From Powerful Chinese Investor Had ‘Everything To Do With My Last Name’” HERE)

John Kerry Has $1 Million Invested in Chinese Fund Supporting Black-Listed Company

By WND. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry and his wife hold at least $1 million in a Chinese investment fund that owns a significant stake in a Chinese technology company that aided China’s human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims, records show.

Kerry reported holding an “over $1,000,000” stake in the investment fund, Hillhouse China Value Fund L.P., in his financial disclosure submitted in February. The fund is a part of the Hillhouse Capital Group, a private equity firm operated by Chinese billionaire Zhang Lei and known for its early investments in some of China’s top technology companies.

Hillhouse invested $55 million in the Chinese surveillance firm Yitu Technology in 2017, a company that was later placed on the U.S. government’s “entity list” in 2019 for developing facial recognition software specifically designed to detect Uyghurs. Being on the entity list, U.S. companies must obtain a special license before doing business with Yitu, according to the Center for Strategic & International Studies. . .

Kerry owns his stake in the investment fund through a trust, whose beneficiary is his wife, the Free Beacon reported. Kerry reported in his financial disclosure that he and his wife have no involvement in managing the investments in the trust.
