    The US has recovered four distinct species of extraterrestrial life from crashed UFOs, a former CIA-funded government researcher sensationally claimed this week. Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program advisor and CIA-funded researcher, made the claim alongside “Age of Disclosure” director Dan Farrah on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast on Thursday. “People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” the 89-year-old said. “Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types...

    During a 15 May 2026 interview, the president discussed maintaining foreign enrolment. He argued institutions rely on international tuition.Speaking to Fox News presenter Sean Hannity on 'Hannity', he articulated his perspective. 'But if you don't have those students — good students, by the way — if you don't ... if they're good and they want to stay in America, we won't give them a green card and things like that,' Trump explained… 'Frankly, I think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture, and many of them want to stay here. I think it's...
  • California town wrestles with its own policy preventing Costco from opening as residents seek cheaper gas

    This California town wants to reverse its woke policy on new and expanded gas stations so it can attract a Costco store, lawmakers signaled last week. Windsor in Sonoma County passed the law in 2022 to fight climate change, but as a repercussion, it also stymies cheaper-gas retailers like Costco from setting up there. The move comes as Costco furiously expands across the US and California. A new Costco in the Windsor area would be the third in Sonoma County. Lawmakers want to make it happen.

    One of the largest Pride festivals in the country has been canceled hours before it was set to begin and organizers are slamming the city for the decision, saying it sends the “wrong message” at a critical time for the LGBTQ community. The 42nd annual Long Beach Pride Festival was set to kick off on Friday night, with several day-long events planned on Saturday through Sunday with DJ’s, music, and live performances, drag show, and a ball, per the website. Typically the 3-day-long festival draws up to 80,000 attendees. In a statement on Friday from the city, officials said that...

    Explanation: Like salsa verde on your favorite burrito, a green aurora slathers up the sky in this 2017 June 25 snapshot from the International Space Station. About 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth, the orbiting station is itself within the upper realm of the auroral displays. Aurorae have the signature colors of excited molecules and atoms at the low densities found at extreme altitudes. Emission from atomic oxygen dominates this view. The tantalizing glow is green at lower altitudes, but rarer reddish bands extend above the space station's horizon. The orbital scene was captured while passing over a point south...

    [Catholic Caucus] Vatican II Condemns Today’s Vatican, Not the SSPXWho actually aheres to more of Vatican II's teachings: the SSPX, or the current Vatican? Drawing extensively from Vatican II’s own texts, this explosive analysis argues that Rome now contradicts many of the orthodox teachings conservative Council Fathers fought to preserve.One of the most interesting passages in Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s They Have Uncrowned Him is his description of the way in which the Vatican II documents were drafted. After having discussed the efforts of conservative Council Fathers to add orthodox passages to the Council documents to counterbalance liberal assertions, he wrote...
  • Why the West is Replacing Its Historic Population: The Post-Fordist Trap

    Reiners ^ | 05/15/2026 | Dr. Ricardo Duchesne
    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines...

    It’s unbaaaa-lievable. After a powerful tornado barreled through Enid, Okla., on April 23, the Sloat family was trapped beneath the earth in their storm shelter under tons of debris when they were suddenly rescued — by their two pet goats. “They saved us,” Adam Sloat, 53, told The Post. “No doubt about it.” The terrifying ordeal began when the approaching storm triggered a rare tornado emergency, the National Weather Service’s highest tornado warning. The bad news: a powerful EF-4 tornado — with winds reaching between 170-200 mph — was bearing down on the 50,000 residents of Enid at a few...

    Walgreens has announced that it is closing a store in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago. They claim that the store is losing upwards of a million dollars a year to theft, so the reason for the closure is no mystery. They say that this particular store loses more in theft than any other store. And yet… The political leaders in Chicago, who allow thieves to run wild, are angry at Walgreens. They caused this, with their soft on crime policies, yet they are mad at Walgreens for closing the location. FOX 32 in Chicago reported: Walgreens to close Chatham store...

    A twice-paroled transgender serial killer with a six-decade history of murdering women has been convicted yet again, this time for the savage 2022 beating death and dismemberment of 68-year-old Susan Leyden, whose headless torso was found stuffed in a shopping cart near his East New York apartment. Harvey Marcelin, 87, who has also gone by “Marceline Harvey,” was found guilty by a Brooklyn Supreme Court jury last week of first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence, and concealment of a human corpse. On February 27, 2022, surveillance video captured Leyden entering Marcelin’s apartment on Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York and...

    Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek signed legislation this week to permanently direct millions in state taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, the state’s largest abortion business. The taxpayer funding is designed to replace federal Medicaid funding blocked by the Trump administration. House Bill 4127, which Kotek signed in March, requires the Oregon Health Authority to create a payment mechanism using state funds to backfill reimbursements lost since July 2025. It also establishes a permanent contingency plan should Congress cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood indefinitely. Oregon is the first state to enact such a long-term replacement plan. All Republicans in the...
  • May 17, 2026🙏 - Almighty God Save Americans, Then Save America!

    05/16/2026 10:15:30 AM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 4 replies
    Today's America is an EXPONENTIAL lawless swamp; full of demonic alligators, demonic tyranny, and demonic strongholds; oppressing, enslaving, and chaining millions (Eph.6:12). O that America would cry out to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator for ETERNAL salvation and deliverance from His RIGHTEOUS judgment (John 3:16-17, 36)! Our cry as blood-bought saints to America is not, "God bless America", but "God SAVE Americans!" Almighty God’s Word states overabundantly and emphatically that it is Jesus ALONE that rescues, saves, and delivers one's soul from ETERNAL ruin (John 3:16-17, 14:6, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31)! We pray for Americans every day that this nation’s inhabitants would...

    Natalie Decker parked her truck during Friday's race at Dover after just 81 laps after NASCAR black-flagged her for being too slow. That, of course, isn't the whole story. Not even close. Decker essentially rage-quit during the race, suffering one of the most stunning in-car meltdowns I have ever heard. And folks, I've heard A LOT over the radio in all my years covering NASCAR. Frankly, until yesterday, I thought I'd heard it all. You guys, I'm trying to hold my s--- together, but I don't want to keep doing this," a crying Decker begins after being told to come...

    Indian academics at a Texas university conspired to exclude an American job-seeker from a tenured job, even to the point of labelling the Asian-American candidate as “white,” says a lawsuit by the Asian-American candidate named Sean Wang. The lawsuit described the alleged anti-American discrimination against Wang at Southern Methodist University: Since Hemang Desai (Indian-origin) became a full professor at SMU in 2006, its Accounting Department has had a systematic pattern of discrimination in tenure decisions. Among candidates of Indian descent who meet SMU’s stated productivity standard of at least four top-tier publications, 100% (2 of 2) were tenured: Neil Bhattacharya...

    The Weaponization Of Excommunication - Who Should Be Excommunicated?In the Diocese of Chur (?) in Switzerland, the local bishop will not discipline three parishioners (who) gave Consecrated Hosts, that is, Our Lord Himself, to their dogs. The bishop's name is Joseph Vonamane, and has instructed his priests not to condemn LGBTQ behavior. The 1983 code of canon law attaches automatic excommunication to certain offenses, among them being desecration of the Holy Eucharist.In the LifeSite News clip, Westin quotes the bishop as excusing those parishioners for they "did not act with sacrilegious intent". So everything is just hunky-dorry over in Switzerland,...
