Our Galaxy’s Largest Black Hole Has Been Discovered Close to Earth: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Debrief recently reported that scientists from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission have located a black hole with a mass of 33 solar masses, which makes it the largest black hole of stellar origin ever discovered in the Milky Way galaxy.

The discovery, which was found after Gaia’s fourth data release, could shed new light on the formation and prevalence of black holes throughout the known universe.

The black hole, which has been named Gaia BH3, is part of a binary system located around 590 parsecs from Earth. The discovery is significant because of the black hole’s mass and because it challenges current models of stellar evolution and the formation of black holes, according to the report.

Black holes are mysterious regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape it. While they are not visible to the naked eye, they are usually identified by the high-energy radiation emitted when they interact with other stars or gas clouds.

However, the Debrief noted that Gaia BH3 does not interact with its companion star, which makes it a “dormant” black hole. It is only detectable through the gravitational influence it has on its companion. (Read more from “Our Galaxy’s Largest Black Hole Has Been Discovered Close to Earth: Report” HERE)

Scott Adams Explains in Layman Terms How the CIA ‘Captures’ Our Lawmakers Right Under Our Noses…

What the heck happened to Speaker Mike Johnson? When he first emerged as the speaker after McCarthy was ousted, he was hailed as a “MAGA” hero. Many thought we finally had someone at the helm who truly had our best interests at heart. Boy, were we wrong.

In a shockingly short period of time, Speaker Johnson went from a MAGA hopeful to a Deep State stooge. This drastic change has many people asking: Was he always a snake in the grass, or did they manage to blackmail him into becoming their dutiful little puppet? Well, it’s likely a very complex issue with many layers, but one thing seems clear: Speaker Johnson likely fell victim to a very coordinated CIA plot. This strategy is often used against our government officials to ensure they toe the line with the uni-party regime. The more we uncover and discuss, the more we realize just how deep these tactics go into manipulating our leaders. The good news is that this topic is gaining traction, with influential voices like conservative cartoonist legend Scott Adams chiming in. We appreciate how Scott Adams has brilliantly managed to break down what the CIA is doing into simple layman’s terms. It’s refreshing and enlightening to have such complex issues made accessible and understandable for everyone quickly. Scott took to X and, in just about five sentences, he summed up decades of CIA covert operations against our lawmakers and the American people.

Scott Adams:

If I correctly understand our system of government, when a president or leader in the Congress gets into office, someone in the CIA pulls them aside for “the talk” and completely changes their priorities.

The public is then told the leaders now have secret knowledge the public can never know.

But the leader has no way of knowing the “secret” information is true and in context.

That puts the secret-keepers in firm control of the government’s big decisions. If the secret-keepers agree with a government policy, they stay out of it. If they disagree with a policy, they say the UFOs will attack — or some other unverifiable thing — and by the way, we have recordings of every phone call you ever made, and scare the leaders into compliance.

Right in front of us. None of this is secret.

EPA Rule Could Put Small Meat Processors Out of Business — And Leave Consumers Out in the Cold

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing new limits on how much nitrogen, phosphate and other pollutants meat processing facilities can discharge into surface waters.

The EPA said the proposed rule change will “improve water quality and protect human health and the environment.”

But some critics argue it also will hurt small processing facilities that won’t be able to afford the upgrades required to comply with the new rule.

Small facilities will either shut down, resulting in fewer local meat sources for consumers. Or they’ll sell out larger corporations, contributing to even greater consolidation in the meat industry.

Describing it as “a direct attack on the buy local foods movement” and local meat producers, American Stewards of Liberty, the Kansas Natural Resource Coalition and other organizations submitted comments opposing the proposed rule.

Betrayal Complete: Mike Johnson Teams With Dems, Violates House Rule to Pass $61B Ukraine Aid

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) delivered President Joe Biden a $61 billion gift on Saturday afternoon, reversing his months-long pledge to never advance foreign aid without first securing America’s border.

Multiple Democrats — and possibly a few Republicans — cheered; shouted, “Ukraine;” and waived Ukrainian flags as the Ukraine aid vote closed.

“It is in violation of decorum to waive flags on the floor,” Johnson scored Democrats.

The Ukraine portion of the foreign aid passed 311 to 112. One representative, Republican Dan Mauser (R-PA), voted present.

Johnson, once again, violated the Hastert Rule. Only 101 Republicans voted with Johnson, while 112 — a clear majority — opposed. (Read more from “Betrayal Complete: Mike Johnson Teams With Dems, Violates House Rule to Pass $61B Ukraine Aid” HERE)

Nationwide E. coli Contamination Warning Issued for Food Item

/0 Comments/in , /by

Officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) have issued a nationwide public health alert regarding ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

The alert, announced on Saturday, cautions consumers against consuming certain raw ground beef items produced on March 28, 2024. Identified with a “Use/Freeze by” date of April 22, 2024, and packaging date of “032824,” these products were distributed to food service institutions and retail locations nationwide.

The affected products bear establishment number “EST. 960A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. While a complete list of specific items to avoid can be found here, officials urge consumers to discard any ground beef matching the described criteria.

The issue was brought to light when the producing establishment discovered E. coli O157:H7 contamination during an inventory check of held product. Subsequently, a portion of the contaminated beef was inadvertently used to produce ground beef items, which were then distributed for sale.

Although no confirmed cases of illness have been reported in connection with the contaminated beef, FSIS stresses the seriousness of E. coli infection, which can lead to dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.

Despite the absence of a recall due to the unavailability of the affected items for purchase, consumers are strongly advised to dispose of any ground beef identified in the public health alert.

Michael Avenatti Says He’s Talking to Trump’s Legal Team — And Would Testify for the Ex-Prez

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disgraced Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti has been in contact with former President Trump’s legal defense team and is ready and willing to testify against his former client, he told The Post in an interview from jail.

“The defense has contacted me,” Avenatti told The Post in a phone call from Terminal Island, a minimum-security federal prison in Los Angeles where he is currently serving a 19-year sentence for extortion, tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement and other federal crimes.

“I’d be more than happy to testify, I don’t know that I will be called to testify, but I have been in touch with Trump’s defense for the better part of year,” Avenatti said.

The ex-litigator refused to offer any details about the specifics of his conversations with Team Trump.

A person close to the former president confirmed the ongoing discussions. (Read more from “Michael Avenatti Says He’s Talking to Trump’s Legal Team — And Would Testify for the Ex-Prez” HERE)

Military Could Hit Troops With Court-Martials for Refusing to Use Preferred Pronouns, Experts Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

The military could seek to formally punish service members for refusing to use another service member’s preferred pronouns under existing policy, according to military experts.

A 2020 Equal Opportunity law opened the door for commanders to subject someone who refuses to affirm a transgender servicemember’s so-called gender identity to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for charges related to harassment, Capt. Thomas Wheatley, an assistant professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Such a move would likely infringe on a servicemember’s constitutional rights to uphold their conscience, but it might not prevent leaders from employing more subtle ways of disciplining service members. . .

The military “is right to want to protect the rights and welfare of its transgender service members. But it owes the same protection to those who share a different perspective on the issue, especially when that perspective is a deep-seated expression of personal conscience,” Wheatley told the DCNF.

None of the military’s rules explicitly prohibit so-called “misgendering,” when someone uses pronouns to describe a transgender person which do not correspond to the person’s new gender identity, Wheatley explained. However, existing guidance implies that using pronouns rejected by another person violates Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) regulations against sex-based harassment and discrimination. . .

Service members could conceivably be court-martialed for “refusing to use another person’s self-identified pronouns, even when their refusal stems from principled religious conviction,” Wheatley told the DCNF. “This law applies to service members at all times and in all locations, even when they’re off duty and in the privacy of their off-post residence.”

Report: Iconic Athlete Files Lawsuit Against Mark Wahlberg, Alleges Multi-Million Dollar Loss in Business Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

David Beckham has initiated legal action against actor Mark Wahlberg and his business partners following a reported dispute over a failed fitness endorsement deal involving the F45 brand, as per Daily Mail’s Saturday report.

The controversy revolves around F45, a fitness franchise in which Wahlberg holds investments. The brand enlisted Beckham to endorse personalized workout programs, with their collaboration commencing in November 2020, featuring Beckham prominently in promotional material and social media campaigns. However, the partnership soured amidst alleged disagreements over equity shares Beckham claims were assured to him.

This legal feud traces its origins back to Beckham’s association with Wahlberg following his move to Los Angeles in 2007 to join LA Galaxy. What began as a friendship evolved into a professional relationship when Beckham endorsed F45. He reportedly anticipated receiving shares in early 2022 but was purportedly met with delays in the disclosure of these shares. Consequently, Beckham alleges substantial financial losses amounting to an estimated $10.5 million, with the shares’ value dropping from around $12 to $3 each.

Initially, Beckham’s company, David Beckham Ventures Ltd (DBVL), sought nearly $19 million in damages from F45 for alleged breach of promises. However, the lawsuit has expanded to include direct claims against Wahlberg’s investment group and F45’s founders, Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch. The fitness franchise, F45, is currently grappling with broader financial challenges, witnessing a sharp decline in its share price from an early high of $16 to just 15 cents, alongside franchise closures across multiple countries.

Wahlberg and his associates have contested Beckham’s accusations of fraudulent behavior, challenging the claims as unsubstantiated.

Who Is the Self-Described ‘Investigative Researcher’ Max Azzarello Who Set Self on Fire Outside Trump Trial After Spewing Conspiracy Theories

/7 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. The Florida man who lit himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial was unfolding Friday is a self-described “investigative researcher” who appeared to become more erratic over the last year and spewed conspiracy theories about the “elites” in a lengthy manifesto.

Max Azzarello, 37, of St. Augustine, Fla., tossed a stack of pamphlets into the air, which included links to a Substack newsletter apparently authored by the self-immolator called “The Ponzi Papers” moments before he doused himself in gasoline and set himself ablaze in Collect Pond Park.

At the top of the site is an article with the headline “I have set myself on fire outside of the Trump Trial,” followed by a rambling manifesto riddled with conspiracy theories on everything from cryptocurrency and Hollywood actors to COVID and former President Bill Clinton.

“My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” the nearly 2,700-word posting begins.

“This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery: We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.” (Read more from “Who Is the Self-Described ‘Investigative Researcher’ Max Azzarello Who Set Self on Fire Outside Trump Trial After Spewing Conspiracy Theories” HERE)

‘Very Scary’: Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘What Trump Really Wants’ Is To ‘Kill His Opposition’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a podcast released on Friday that she believes former President Donald Trump wants to model himself after dictators like Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump beat Clinton to become president during the 2016 election, and she has alleged that he has connections to Russia. Clinton, on the “Democracy Docket” podcast, accused Trump of modeling himself after Russian President Vladmir Putin and other global dictators, suggesting her former opponent wants to commit heinous acts against those who oppose him.

“Putin does what [Trump] would like to do,” Clinton told election lawyer Marc Elias during the podcast. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance. That’s what Trump really wants. And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because in that world, he only sees strong men leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.” (Read more from “‘Very Scary’: Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘What Trump Really Wants’ Is To ‘Kill His Opposition’” HERE)
