This Is America’s Most Expensive Fast-Food Chain: ‘Rip-Off’

/6 Comments/in , , /by

As fast food chains hike prices around the nation, one came out on top for being the priciest of all.

A new study found that Shake Shack received the most complaints for being overpriced, followed by Five Guys, which has been slammed for their “out of control” prices.

Earlier this year, Shake Shack raised menu prices by 3%, the burger chain’s CFO Katie Fogertey said during an investor call.

The Post has reached out to Shake Shack for comment.

The study, conducted by Preply, also found that celebrity-owned restaurants regularly received complaints about being overpriced — specifically, Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants. (Read more from “This Is America’s Most Expensive Fast-Food Chain: ‘Rip-Off’” HERE)

Mayor Says Radioactive Material Missing From Port, Connects It To Drone Mystery

/6 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Belleville, New Jersey, Mayor Michael Melham connected a string of mysterious drone sightings to a report of a radioactive shipment that went missing earlier in December.

Melham said the drones have been hovering over critical infrastructure and residential areas in his state for at least four weeks, suggesting that their grid-like flying patterns indicate they are searching for something specific. . .

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) confirmed in an event report Friday that a Ge-68 pin source shipped by New Jersey‘s Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) went missing from the Port of Newark on Dec. 2. Melham said the materials were lost in transit.

“It was a shipment. It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged, and it was empty,” he told the hosts.

The NRC classifies Ge-68, a radioactive isotope of Germanium, as a “Less than Cat 3” material, which the NRC describes as “very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury,” though it can still be hazardous to humans.

New Jersey Governor Urges State to ‘Calm Down’ as FBI Looks Into Drone Mystery

By The Guardian. The governor of New Jersey has asked residents of the state plagued with unexplained drone sighting to “calm down” as federal and state authorities warned of pilots of manned aircraft being hit in the eyes by laser pointers aimed from the ground.

The FBI and New Jersey state police said in a statement on X: “There is also a concern with people possibly firing weapons at what they believe to be UAS [unmanned aircraft systems] but could be manned aircraft.”

The law enforcement agencies added that they have been out every night to legally track down drone operators “acting illegally or with nefarious intent” and warned that there could be “dangerous and possibly deadly consequences” if manned aircraft are targeted.

The warnings came as the FBI, US homeland security department, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and defense department issued a statement that said an examination of “the technical data and tips from concerned citizens” concluded “the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and stars mistakenly reported as drones”.

“We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast,” the statement said.

House Republicans Expose J6 Committee’s Lies, Cover-Ups, Scandals in New Report

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Democrats’ illegally established and since-disbanded partisan Select Committee on Jan. 6 ran a two-year operation to frame political opponents as criminal insurrectionists and then covered up members’ own misconduct.

According to a nearly 130-page interim report released Tuesday by House Republicans who reviewed the panel’s work, lawmakers under former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s direction suppressed evidence that contradicted the committee’s narrative, circumvented a key witnesses’ legal representation, and deleted more than a terabyte of digital data related to the investigation.

Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight who led the probe into the probe, wrote in the report’s introduction letter that his team’s findings “reveals that there was not just one single cause for what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.”

“It was a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at several levels and numerous entities,” said Loudermilk. “Even amid multiple failures, there were two common elements that significantly contributed to the security issues: an excessive amount of political influence on critical decisions, and a greater concern over the optics than for protecting life and property.”

Many of the failures around “optics” had already been previously reported by House Republicans who exposed Pelosi’s refusal to deploy the National Guard multiple times ahead of the riot. (Read more from “House Republicans Expose J6 Committee’s Lies, Cover-Ups, Scandals in New Report” HERE)

Joe Rogan Says He’s ‘Genuinely Concerned’ About Drone Sightings After New Theory Emerges

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. Podcast king Joe Rogan said the mysterious drones that have buzzed around the tristate area have left him “genuinely concerned” Sunday after watching a video that floated an unverified theory about the unmanned devices sniffing out harmful substances.

John Ferguson, the CEO of a remote aircraft system company in Kansas, claimed in a drawn-out TikTok video on Saturday the drones are attempting to “smell” either a gas leak, “radioactive material,” or something else on the ground.

“The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something,” Ferguson said in the clip, noting he doesn’t believe the drones are nefarious.

“So my belief is they’re trying to smell something on the ground – gas leak, radioactive material, whatever,” the CEO said.

Ferguson added that the theory was his best guess based on his expertise and just his opinion on the drone mystery that’s gripped the East Coast and admitted “I’ve not bounced this off anybody.”

U.S. Deploys Resources on Drone Sightings

By Yahoo News. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has requested that “special detection systems” be deployed in New York and New Jersey after recent drone sightings fueled anxiety among residents in the region.

Schumer told reporters on Sunday that he made the request to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and pushed for Robin Radar Systems, which he said has a better chance of detecting drones because of their “360-degree technology.” Schumer’s request comes after a series of reported drone sightings in the Northeast over the last month, including ones that caused a New York airport to shut down on Friday.

“We’ve seen lots of recent sightings in New York, New Jersey, Long Island, Staten Island. So it’s remarkable, with all these sightings over the last while, why do we have more questions than answers?” Schumer said Sunday. “If the technology exists for a drone to make it up into the sky, there certainly is the technology that can track the craft with precision.”

Earlier Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the federal government is “deploying additional resources” to address the aerial drones.

“There’s no question that people are seeing drones,” Mayorkas said on ABC News “This Week.” “I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.” (Read more from “U.S. Deploys Resources on Drone Sightings” HERE)

Lisa Murkowski Panic Over Accountability to Voters for Blocking Trump Picks: ‘Don’t Get On Santa’s Naughty List or We Will Primary You’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, expressed deep concerns about facing accountability for her opposition to Trump’s cabinet nominees, during her participation in the controversial No Labels National Meeting.

Her remarks, dripping with alarm and self-pity, laid bare her growing fear of primary challenges from conservative voters fed up with RINO lawmakers undermining the MAGA agenda. . .

During the meeting, Murkowski seemed rattled by the prospect of being held accountable for her obstructionist actions.

“I think it’s going to be hard, quite honestly,” Murkowski lamented last Thursday’s event.

“I think it’s going to be hard in these next four years because you have an administration coming in that has had an opportunity to see how things work, what didn’t work.

Jonathan Turley Asks the Million-Dollar Question About All Those J6 FBI Informants

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The J6 mystery just got even more convoluted. As you know, Revolver News has been at the forefront of peeling back the layers on this staged “Fedsurrection” that targeted President Trump and his supporters. We were among the first to suggest that feds had a significant presence that day, using possible “assets” like Ray Epps and others to stir up the crowd. We also blew the lid off the phony pipe bomb narrative. But as with all things J6, the more we know, the stranger the story gets.

Disgraced FBI Director Chris Wray conveniently resigned just before the IG report dropped. . .

Here’s Tucker talking about that moment:

However, for the sake of argument, let’s say Wray and the IG report are right, and there were indeed 26 federal informants on the ground and inside the Capitol on January 6. If that’s the case, Jonathan Turley has a few million-dollar questions he’d really like answered.

Headline USA:

Renowned legal scholar and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sounded the alarm about the DOJ’s failure to disclose to Jan. 6 defendants that FBI informants were present in the U.S. Capitol that day in 2021, as detailed in a DOJ Inspector General report.

In a Thursday interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum, Turley said the report raised “more questions than answers” about the FBI’s rumored role in inciting violence at the Capitol.

The law professor specifically such information would have been critical to defendants of the Jan. 6 protests who fell victim to the Biden DOJ’s aggressive prosecutions.

“In some ways, it raises more questions than answers. It does support Wray’s testimony that there were no undercover agents in the crowd,” Turley said, referring to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Trump Reportedly Looks to Privatize Massive Federal Agency

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly looking to privatize the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), three people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post in a report published Sunday.

Trump has made known his desire to detach the USPS from the federal government in conversations at his Mar-a-Lago estate, sources informed the outlet, including with Howard Lutnick, his commerce secretary pick and co-chair of his presidential transition team.

In early December, Trump also talked with a group of transition team officials to feel out their opinions on privatizing the agency, one person told the outlet.

As mail volume declines for the Postal Service, the agency has reportedly lost $9.5 billion in the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30, The Washington Post reported.

The outlet expressed concern regarding the potential effect on e-commerce of privatizing the Postal Service, naming Amazon, whose executive chairman Jeff Bezos reportedly plans to donate $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

Watch — ‘They’re Idiots’: Mob Performs Fiery Street Takeover at Florida Intersection

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Video shows a mob descending on an intersection in Orange County, Florida, causing a frightening scene the night of November 30.

The group of approximately 30 individuals took over the intersection at South John Young Parkway and Central Florida Parkway then set fires and performed dangerous stunts with their vehicles, Fox 35 reported Friday.

“And seeing the video, that video is nuts,” one driver told WFTV. “If you look on TikTok, that’s all you see. Donuts, street racing, and they’re idiots because they’re getting hit by their own cars. They have no, apparently no care of what it costs”:

“The situation escalated as participants harassed innocent drivers, blocked them from passing, and in some cases, climbed on and damaged vehicles,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post Thursday.

“This reckless and violent behavior poses a serious danger to our community and we are committed to holding those responsible accountable,” the agency continued. (Read more from “Watch — ‘They’re Idiots’: Mob Performs Fiery Street Takeover at Florida Intersection” HERE)

Ancient Engraved Amulet Could ‘Turn Back History’ of Christianity, Experts Claim

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just ahead of the holidays, archeologists have “digitally unrolled” a 1,800-year-old silver amulet to decipher an inscription that’s being hailed as the oldest known evidence of Christianity in Europe. . .

The amulet housed a “wafer-thin” foil, measuring 1.4 inches, and featuring text referred to as the “Frankfurt silver inscription.”

It was found beneath the chin of a man’s skeleton at a burial site on the outskirts of Frankfurt in 2018. However, the ancient wording, dating back to between 230 and 270 — when the predominant religions in Europe were Judaism and paganism — has been virtually illegible until now.

[It reads,] “In the name of Saint Titus. Holy, holy, holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God! The Lord of the world resists with [strengths] all attacks [or setbacks]. The God grants entry to well-being. May this means of salvation protect the man who surrenders himself to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, since before Jesus Christ every knee bows: those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth, and every tongue confesses (Jesus Christ),” reads the translation, per DailyMail.

The deific discovery closely trails the recent decrypting of the Meggido Mosaic, a 1,800-year-old relic that says, “Jesus is God.” It, too, follows the July 2024 unearthing of a nearly 2,000-year-old manuscript that details the earliest known account of Christ’s childhood.

Popular Cooking Ingredient Linked to Cancer Diagnoses in Young People

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Climbing rates of colon and rectal cancer among people under 50 years old is a striking recent trend that has alarmed and puzzled clinicians racing to figure out why. Now a new study published in Gut offers what might be a crucial insight: specific lipids, or fatty acids, that are abundantly found in ultra-processed foods may be promoting inflammation that causes cancerous colon cells to run amok.

Colorectal cancer tumor samples from 81 people in the U.S. had excessive amounts of inflammation-boosting lipids, called omega-6 fatty acids—and lacked helpful lipids called omega-3 fatty acids, which help stop inflammation.

Inflammation is a normal defensive response that the immune system switches on to heal wounds or fight off infection. But researchers in the 1800s found that colon tumors under a microscope looked like “poorly healed wounds,” says Timothy Yeatman, a co-author of the study and a professor of surgery at the University of South Florida. Rampant inflammation over long periods of time damages cells and hampers their ability to fight potentially cancerous cell growth. Omega-6 fatty acids often come from our diet, and Yeatman suspects ultraprocessed food is likely a major source of them.

“We don’t know the full effects of these ultraprocessed foods on our body, but we do know that that’s a major thing that’s changed from 1950 onward,” Yeatman says. “Young people today, particularly rural and impoverished people, are being exposed to more of these processed foods than anybody else because they’re cheap and they’re in all the fast-food restaurants.”

Many ultraprocessed foods and fast foods are prepared with seed oil—a cheap, common type of vegetable-based cooking oil that is chemically processed from seeds such as canola (rapeseed), corn, grapeseed and sunflower. These oils contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids. The study was not able to definitively connect the lipids detected in the colon cancer tumors to any specific food or oil, however.
