Vice President Kamala Harris hosted German Chancellor Angela Merkel for breakfast Thursday at her Naval Observatory home It marks the first time One Observatory Circle has been used by the VP to host a foreign leader since Harris was sworn-in The visit followed another report on the 'toxic culture' in Harris' offices during her political career One aide said staffers sought therapy to 'resolve trauma from the on-the-job abuse', according to the report Harris greeted Merkel by complimenting her 'extraordinary career' noting that she's part of the fourth U.S. administration to host the German chancellor 'I’m very proud that I...

Most important moment from Maricopa hearing so far Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett testified about the difficulties his team is facing finding serial numbers to ensure duplicate ballots were only counted once. “We found, I would have to say, thousands of duplicate ballots where those serial numbers are not on them. So it’s created great difficulty to try to match up a duplicated ballot to its duplicate.” Senate President Karen Fann then asked: “If the corresponding numbers aren’t on there, how would you know if it was duplicated once or ten times?” VIDEO AT LINK..................... Bennett replied: “You wouldn’t.”...

A new YouGov-BrightlineWatch poll that was released this month found that Americans are so divided among ideological lines that a solid majority of Republicans in the South want their states to secede from the Union. The survey laid out a bunch of hypothetical scenarios in which the United States is carved out into smaller regional powers consisting of a handful of states:(See groupings at link)In order to accomplish this, states would have to secede from the Union and form geographical alliances. And while this desire was substantially more prevalent than in states located south of the Mason-Dixon Line – also...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a forceful statement to his sock drawer this week, President Biden condemned Republican lawmakers' efforts to disenfranchise black voters by making them show ID to vote—since black people don't understand what IDs are or how to get them. "Voter ID is the greatest threat to Democracy since the Civil Depression of 1812!" he yelled to a lone mothball. "We need to save democracy by taking complete Federal control of the elections in every state!" Sources say that in addition to controlling elections at the federal level, Biden has other plans for protecting democracy—such as confiscating guns, checking private...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Joe Biden has taken a tough stance against Cuban refugees. While Biden usually welcomes anyone — especially illegal immigrants — to America, the Cubans are different, because when they come here they might commit malicious acts, such as voting Republican. Thus Biden is trying to dissuade Cubans from coming here by telling them that if they’re fleeing to America to seek freedom, America is actually getting rid of that. “I’m sorry, but we’re junking that right-wing, QAnon liberty malarkey,” Biden said in a statement aimed at Cuba. “If you want that, look elsewhere. We found that freedom got...

Tracy Stone-Manning's nomination to the Bureau of Land Management tells Americans the White House will reward left-wing extremism and violence. From early on, the Biden administration has urged the need to combat “domestic terrorism” and touted a high standard of “ethics.” Joe Biden shot gaping holes in the sincerity and credibility of both goals when he nominated an ethically compromised eco-terrorist, Tracy Stone-Manning, to lead the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which controls nearly 250 million acres of resource-rich federal lands. The confirmation process has brought to light Stone-Manning’s domestic terrorist past. Some argue it makes her unfit to command...

When X-rays are irradiated onto tumor tissue containing iodine-carrying nanoparticles, the iodine releases electrons that break DNA and kill the cancer cells. Credit: Mindy Takamiya/Kyoto University iCeMS Researchers have found a way to enhance radiation therapy using novel iodine nanoparticles. Cancer cell death is triggered within three days when X-rays are shone onto tumor tissue containing iodine-carrying nanoparticles. The iodine releases electrons that break the tumor’s DNA, leading to cell death. The findings, by scientists at Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and colleagues in Japan and the US, were published in the journal Scientific Reports. “Exposing a...

Last month I wrote about Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management. Tracy Stone-Manning has a pretty extremist history. In 1992 she wrote a thesis arguing for population control to protect the environment. Her paper included a sample advertisement which described a toddler as “the environmental hazard in this photo.” But it’s another part of her past that has attracted the most attention. In 1989, Stone-Manning was a member of the extremist environmental group Earth First! Members of the group drove 10″ spikes in hundreds of trees as a way to prevent the from being cut down....

TOPLINE Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Thursday shot down the idea of creating a carve-out to the Senate filibuster for voting rights bills after a meeting with Democratic state lawmakers from Texas who are in Washington, D.C., to protest a voting restrictions bill in their state, effectively killing a proposal that has gained steam among even some Democratic leaders in recent weeks.

NASA has identified the possible cause of the payload computer problem that suspended Hubble Space Telescope science operations on June 13. The telescope itself and science instruments remain healthy and in a safe configuration. The payload computer resides in the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling (SI C&DH) unit. It controls, coordinates, and monitors Hubble’s science instruments. When the payload computer halted, Hubble’s science instruments were automatically placed into a safe configuration. A series of multi-day tests, which included attempts to restart and reconfigure the computer and the backup computer, were not successful, but the information gathered from those activities...

The Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to prevent the passage of a GOP-backed election reform bill are having their trip to DC heavily funded by Beto O’Rourke’s political action committee — which includes a sizable donation from country superstar Willie Nelson. O’Rourke — a Democrat who represented Texas in the House until losing a 2018 challenge to incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) — said Wednesday night that his Powered By People PAC had raised more than $525,000 to cover travel, lodging, food and other expenses. The former lawmaker, who represented El Paso, launched the PAC shortly after his...

Before his corpse was dumped in a shallow grave 50 miles north of Los Angeles, Mauricio Ismael Gonzalez-Ramirez was held prisoner at one of the hundreds of black-market pot farms that have exploded across California’s high desert in the last several years, authorities say. He worked in what has become California’s newest illegal marijuana haven: the Mojave Desert. A world away from the lush forest groves of the “Emerald Triangle” of Northern California, this hot, dry, unforgiving climate has attracted more than a thousand marijuana plantations that fill the arid expanse between the Antelope Valley and the Colorado River. It’s...

Plasma test in the MAST tokamak, a plasma fusion chamber. =================================================================================== A new way of classifying magnetized plasma has led to the discovery of 10 previously unknown topological phases of plasma. Learning more about these phases, and specifically the transitions between them, could help plasma physicists chase down the white whale of energy - plasma fusion. That's because the transitions between them support edge modes, or waves at the intersection of the plasma surfaces. These exotic excitations could broaden the potential practical uses for magnetized plasma. "These findings could lead to possible applications of these exotic excitations in space and...

Lately, the term "gain-of-function" shows up in half the headlines. It appeared in Dr. Deep State’s secret emails to Wuhan along with another batch to Mark Zuckerberg, alleged creator of Facebook, originally called "Project LifeLog" when DARPA started it. Now, Zuckerberg and his New World Order cronies try to walk all the oppression back like it never happened.

Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) introduced a resolution to support the Cuban people in their demands for freedom against “the brutal oppression of the Communist dictatorship in Cuba.” Díaz-Balart — a Cuban-American — asked the international community to stand behind the recent protests against the island’s regime. Initial cosponsors for the House resolution include Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Greg Steube (R-FL), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Liz Cheney (R-WY). According to Díaz-Balart’s statement: For 62 years, the Cuban people have struggled for freedom and...

SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2 – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2) was ferocious, highly contagious, and deadly for the elderly and the obese. SARS1, its granddaddy, sickened 8000 and killed 774 in 2002. A cousin, MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), sickened 2500 and killed 885 in 2012. SARS2 has sickened over 182 million and killed almost four million, and it’s not over. Why was SARS2 so incredibly more contagious, powerful and deadly than its ancestors? Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, knew why, and so did his friend Peter Daszak at EcoHealth Alliance, which funded coronavirus...

The NFL is continuing its efforts to expands its woke agenda. The professional football league has committed to have the Black National Anthem performed before every big event in the upcoming season.

One of Pennsylvania’s two U.S. Senate seats is up for grabs in 2022 as two-term Republican incumbent Pat Toomey prepares to step aside and the state braces for a particularly high-stakes election year. The Senate opening has drawn plenty of interest from Democrats looking to shore up a narrow congressional majority, Republicans looking to limit key aspects of the Biden agenda, and observers believing the seat is likely to flip or too close to call. The race will be exceedingly expensive either way. Democrats With less than a year to go until the primary (unless the date is changed because...
