Boeing 787 Dreamliner Jet in Air India Crash Was Subject of Conspiracy Theories About Dead Whistleblower — and Battery Problems

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Thursday’s Air India plane crash that killed more than 240 people has brought renewed scrutiny on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft — which was at the center of a conspiracy theory following a whistleblower’s suicide last year.

The disaster marks the first time a 787 Dreamliner — Boeing’s newest plane model — has been involved in a catastrophic crash since its debut in 2011.

It’s also the latest disaster to hit the beleaguered American aerospace giant — which has been dogged by a door that blew off a 737 jet, a leaky spacecraft that stranded astronauts on the International Space Station for months, as well as politically damaging delays in outfitting the new Air Force One jets. . .

The Air India jet that crashed on Thursday was built in 2014 and had performed some 8,000 takeoffs and landings, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Despite enjoying a 14-year safety streak, the troubled aerospace giant has seen its Dreamliner suffer from a series of production woes and attention from whistleblowers warning about the massive plane’s assembly.

The issues began in 2013, with Boeing’s fleet of 787s grounded following a series of battery fires flagged by air safety inspectors. (Read more from “Boeing 787 Dreamliner Jet in Air India Crash Was Subject of Conspiracy Theories About Dead Whistleblower — and Battery Problems” HERE)

Army Deletes Video of DC Parade Tanks With ‘Hang Fauci & Bill Gates’ Graffiti

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A now-deleted Army video of tanks being loaded onto a train to Washington, D.C., to appear in the massive June 14 military parade for the Army’s 250th anniversary showed a graffitied message spray-painted on the side of the train car – “Hang Fauci & Bill Gates.”

The video, posted to the Army’s X account on Saturday, has since disappeared. It showed an M1A2 Abrams – a 70-ton battle tank – rolling onto a train car at Fort Cavazos in Texas.

The death threat to Fauci and Gates – two people who have drawn the ire of President Donald Trump’s MAGA base – was painted on a train car marked DODX, property of the Defense Department.

Steve Warren, an Army spokesperson, said the Army has no plans to investigate.

“We removed the post once notified of graffiti on the train that didn’t align with Army values,” he said. “We are excited to celebrate 250 years of service to the nation next week.” (Read more from. “Army Deletes Video of DC Parade Tanks With ‘Hang Fauci & Bill Gates’ Graffiti” HERE)

Russians No Longer See U.S. as Chief Enemy, Poll Finds. See What Nation Tops List

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The perception of the United States within Russia has undergone something of a sea change over the past year, suggesting that resentments dating to the Cold War may be beginning to thaw, according to new polling.

The share of Russians who view the U.S. as a hostile nation has dropped dramatically since 2024, and now — for the first time in decades — more Russians label other countries as adversarial, a new survey from the Levada Center found.

Further, feelings toward the U.S. have improved substantially, according to the poll, which comes as President Donald Trump attempts to broker a peace deal to end the Ukraine-Russia war.

With that said, not all of the findings were so rosy. Most Russians continue to express pessimism about relations between the west and Russia, which they think will always be founded on mistrust. . .

In the survey, less than half of respondents, 40%, named the U.S. as hostile toward Russia. This is down 36 points from 76% in May 2024, marking a massive shift in opinion in just one year. (Read more from “Russians No Longer See U.S. as Chief Enemy, Poll Finds. See What Nation Tops List” HERE)

Pete Hegseth Drops Hammer on Betty McCollum After Trying to Corner Him — She Quickly Changes Subject

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Democrat Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum a history lesson on Tuesday in regard to how her party handled the riots of 2020 as she criticized President Donald Trump.

McCollum criticized Trump’s “premature and escalatory” decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines in light of the Los Angeles, California, riots that broke out over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrant criminals during the House Appropriations Committee hearing. The congresswoman attempted to contrast Trump’s handling to Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s response to the 2020 riots; Hegseth reminded her of the chaos that occurred in Minnesota under Walz’s leadership during that time.

“Governor Walz made the decision to call up the Minnesota National Guard [in 2020],” McCollum said. “At no point did we need, of the citizens of Minnesota, to request that the Marines be deployed. Our state and local law enforcement, along with our National Guard, who have worked on crowd control, they were more than enough. They were more than capable of handling this situation. History has proven that law enforcement and the National Guard are more than capable of handling situations more volatile than what happened this weekend.”

In response, Hegseth told the congresswoman that Walz allowed violence to prevail in his state and for the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct building to be “abandoned” and “burned to the ground.”

DOJ Employee Charged With Capital Murder After Spiking Pregnant Girlfriend’s Coffee With Abortion Pills: Sheriff

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A United States Department of Justice employee secretly spiked his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with an abortion drug to induce a miscarriage without her knowledge, according to cops.

Justin Anthony Banta, 38, who works in the IT department of the DOJ, is charged with capital murder in Parker County, Texas, for allegedly putting “Plan C” abortion drugs in his pregnant girlfriend’s coffee, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The couple found out about the pregnancy in September 2024, with the unidentified woman refusing the DOJ employee’s offer to terminate the pregnancy with “Plan C” pills he would purchase online, the statement said.

Banta’s girlfriend was happily six-weeks pregnant when she had a sonogram on October 17 that revealed a strong heartbeat and good vital signs, the Parker County Sheriff’s Office revealed.

Later that same day she met the IT specialist at a coffee shop — quickly suspecting that Banta had spiked her drink with the “Plan C” abortion-inducing pills without her consent.

By Breitbart. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrants as part of the operation in Los Angeles include individuals with heavy criminal histories, which include murder and sexual assault.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted the reality of the criminal illegal aliens they are going after in Los Angeles while Mexican flag riots break out in protest of ICE’s actions.

Describing these as some of the “worst” criminals they went after, the Department of Homeland Security provided pictures and a description for some of the illegals arrested in their operations.

One of those individuals is an illegal alien named Lionel Sanchez-Laguna, hailing from Mexico. According to DHS, his lengthy criminal history includes “discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling and vehicle in Orange, CA with a sentence of 365 days in jail, battery on spouse or cohabitant in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, willful cruelty to child in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, driving under the influence in Orange, CA with a sentence of ten days in jail, assault with semi-automatic firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison, and personal use of a firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison.”

Armando Ordaz is another illegal immigrant, 44, arrested from Mexico. His criminal history includes sexual battery in Los Angeles — where the rioters are protesting such arrests — as well as petty theft and receiving known or stolen property.

Watch As LA Rioter Is Introduced To Pavement By Homeland Security

By Daily Caller. Fox News showed Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) personnel taking down a rioter in Los Angeles Monday night as riots continued in the wake of a raid by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy Saturday as riots continued in Los Angeles following a raid by ICE at a Los Angeles-area Home Depot. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin provided commentary as the takedown aired live on a special edition of “Fox News at Night.”

“It appears to be California National Guard. Ooh, they are taking somebody down right now. I don’t know who those guys are, what they did. Is that California National? If it says ERO on their back, that would be ICE. That stands for Enforcement and Removal Operation,” Melugin told “Fox News at Night” host Trace Gallagher. “I can’t tell. It’s some sort of law enforcement, and they clearly did not like what the guy in the yellow was doing right there because they ran right at him, and they took him down. So we will ask, and we will see if we can find out what that guy did. It looks like he was loitering near a vehicle.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson Accuses Biden Doctor Kevin O’Connor Of Sexual Misconduct

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former White House physician and Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson told the Daily Caller during an interview Monday that Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s former physician, engaged in inappropriate sexual misconduct while working at the White House.

Jackson said that during his time as Director of the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), he was responsible for signing O’Connor’s evaluations and fitness reports. During the interview, he said he thought about getting rid of O’Connor for a “variety of reasons” before accusing Biden’s doctor of inappropriate sexual behavior.

“One was because of some very inappropriate behavior on his part,” Jackson stated.

Jackson said O’Connor would take other people’s phones and put them down his pants near his groin as a prank, as well as make sexually inappropriate comments that upset female coworkers. Jackson did not provide specific places or dates where the conduct allegedly occurred. He also did not identify the women who were allegedly subjected to the behavior.

“I didn’t get rid of him because I knew it would be an exercise in futility,” Jackson explained. “Because if I had gotten rid of him, it was made very clear to me that I would be immediately getting a phone call from President Obama telling me, ‘What are you doing? Joe Biden’s upset. You need to hire this guy back or you need to stop this. You can’t get rid of this guy.’”

Stunning New Details Emerge on How Elon Musk Got His Black Eye

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new report provides stunning details on how Elon Musk received his black eye, which was noticeable to the public last week. . .

Asked about his visible black eye at the White House, Elon Musk claimed his five-year-old son punched him in the face while they were horsing around:

But according to a shocking new report from The Washington Post, the black eye may have occurred during a physical altercation with the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent.

The Washington Post claimed that Musk and Bessent argued about who they wanted as the acting IRS commissioner. This led to a heated argument outside the Oval Office that turned physical, with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon detailing the ordeal:

“After Bessent and Musk exited the Oval Office and began walking down the hallway, the two men started to exchange insults, Bannon said he was told, adding that Bessent brought up Musk’s claims that he would uncover more than $1 trillion in wasteful and fraudulent government spending, which Musk had not succeeded at doing.

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud,’” Bannon said in an interview.

Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back. Multiple people stepped in to break up the scrum as the two men reached the national security adviser’s office, and Musk was shuffled out of the West Wing.”

Experts Warn Americans Are Missing Mineral Affecting 300 Bodily Functions

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Magnesium is said to be a natural remedy for a variety of ailments — but is it really necessary to supplement, and if so, how much do you need?

Fox News Digital spoke to multiple health experts about the multipurpose mineral, which plays a role in over 300 of the body’s enzyme systems and helps with energy production, muscle and nerve function, and blood pressure regulation.

Magnesium may help lower the risk of certain diseases and could help to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, and prevent nighttime muscle cramps, sources said.

The nutrient “supports a stable heartbeat and prevents arrhythmias, works with calcium and vitamin D to keep bones strong, and aids insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism,” Dr. Heather Viola, a primary care physician with Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, told Fox News Digital.

Magnesium can also help with constipation relief, migraine prevention and PMS symptoms, according to Eleana Quattrocchi, a pharmacist and associate professor of pharmacy practice at Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

Musk Posts Revealing Reaction in Response to Trump Saying He Wishes Him Well

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump’s relationship with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, which appeared to publicly blow up last week as the two feuded in public, took a softer tone on Monday when Musk responded to a clip of the president on X.

“We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually,” Trump said on Monday in a clip that was posted by conservative influencer ALX.

Musk responded to that post with a heart emoji on Monday evening.

Earlier in the day, Fox News Digital reported that the public spat between the two billionaires appeared to be losing steam after Musk seemingly issued support from Trump’s handling of the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

“Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they’ve done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots,” Trump said late Sunday in the post Musk shared. “These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists.”

Additionally, Musk also re-posted one of Vice President JD Vance’s posts on X about the riots. (Read more from “Musk Posts Revealing Reaction in Response to Trump Saying He Wishes Him Well” HERE)
