AN escape of lab monkeys on a Pennsylvania highway has sparked fears of a virus outbreak after a woman who came into contact with them later fell ill. Michelle Fallon stopped to help after a truck carrying 100 cynomolgus macaques crashed on Interstate 80, spilling animal crates across the tarmac. State troopers said four of the primates were on the loose and warned the public not to try to catch them on Friday evening. They have all since been accounted for.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin reacted during the inaugural broadcast of FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday. Palin said the virus was being used as a way to “control the people. “This is madness though, this COVID overreach, overregulation, overreaction. “I don’t know who decided that this was going to be one that was going to be politicized and weaponized, science, a virus?” Palin continued. “A virus that has just turned into something that is just something to control the people — well, that’s exactly what it’s become, and it’s a shame.”

President Joe Biden faced backlash on Monday evening after he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b***h” for asking about soaring inflation rates. Biden made the profane remark at the end of an event as Doocy tried to get him to respond to a question about how inflation could impact the Democratic Party during the upcoming midterms. “Do you think inflation is a political liability for midterms?” Doocy asked. “It’s a great asset, more inflation,” Biden responded. “What a stupid son of a b****.” Many people pointed out what Biden told his staffers on his...

Washington (AFP) – The United States on Tuesday warned Russia of damaging sanctions, including high-tech export curbs, and said attempts by Moscow to "weaponize" its enormous oil and gas industry would backfire. "We are prepared to implement sanctions with massive consequences" that go far beyond previous measures implemented in 2014 after Russia invaded Ukraine's Crimea region, a senior US official said. "If Russia decides to weaponize its supply of natural gas or crude oil, it wouldn't be without consequences to the Russian economy," a senior US official told reporters. Although the European Union sources about 40 percent of its supply...

Croatian President Zoran Milanovic has announced that Zagreb will withdraw its troops from NATO contingents stationed in the region if the situation escalates into a full-scale conflict. Speaking in a televised address on Tuesday, the leader said he saw “reports that NATO – not a separate state, not the United States – is increasing its presence and sending reconnaissance ships.” He insisted that the Zagreb authorities “have nothing to do with it and we won’t have anything to do with it, I guarantee that.” “Not only will we not send the army, but if there is an escalation, we will...

Pushing For War: Why Is The Biden Administration Pushing Ukraine To Attack Russia April 6, 2021 Why is it any of our business whether Crimea is part of Ukraine or part of Russia?

Food assistance soon may be available to undocumented immigrants ages 55 and older as Gov. Gavin Newsom proposes to expand public food programs. The idea is part of his 2022-23 budget plan, where a little over $35 million of the total $286 billion budget would be put toward the expansion of CalFresh and other food programs. This expansion would make it so that all low-income people 55 and older can be eligible for food assistance regardless of immigration status. An estimated 2 million undocumented immigrants call California home, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California reports. The move is a...

The biggest hurdle is an electron microscope for examining the features of his transistors. A good friend found a broken one and with $1000, a fair amount of know how and a lot of time they were able to repair it to working condition. As for the photolithography device? The light from a conference room projector is beamed through a microscope to trigger the light sensitive coating on his wafers Zeloof’s chip was his second. He made the first, much smaller one as a high school senior in 2018; he started making individual transistors a year before that. His chips...

Peter Schweizer’s book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win shows how donations from Communist China to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the university established a “Biden Center” in 2017. As the book lays out, the Biden family has a very extensive business relationship with Chinese Communist Party elites, and those elites were not shy about celebrating Joe Biden’s election in 2020 as a golden opportunity to further develop their influence over American government agencies and institutions. Three years before Biden was elected president, the University of Pennsylvania made him a professor and established the “Biden...

A group of Afghan refugees were caught wandering the golf course of a local gated resort community in Scottsdale, according to security reports first obtained by the Arizona Daily Independent. The group was part of the Afghan refugees housed at the Homewood Suites, a nearby hotel that made headlines last year for sheltering illegal immigrants for around seven months. The refugees aren’t confined to the hotel and permitted to roam the surrounding areas at their leisure; the hotel sits across the street from the gated community. Mike Anderson — security director for the community, Gainey Ranch Golf and Country Club...

Last weekend, between dealing with Winter Storm Izzy and a torrent of work to complete, I squeezed in a viewing of Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up. So much has been said about it in the last week or two that it felt like a moral obligation, albeit a second-tier one. This is not a movie review so much as it is a resounding thanks to the writers, cast, and crew. I commend them for making a film so long overdue with the urgency required. Be respectfully forewarned: there are many spoilers ahead. The plot is relatively straightforward: a graduate student...

Nearly 300 Afghan refugees are being relocated to a former hotel in Scottsdale after being housed at various military installations, resulting in the mobilization of a Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) team “to plan for providing educational services and support” to any school-aged refugees, according to Superintendent Scott Menzel. SUSD “has an obligation to provide educational services to homeless students who reside within the district,” Menzel noted in a district newsletter. That obligation is based on compliance with the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. “While we did not anticipate this influx of new students, we are committed to marshalling the...

Officials back down after being charged of “kowtowing to China” to please sponsors.. Forty Eight hours after demanding that spectators at the Australian Open remove clothing and hand over signs protesting China’s Communist government, officials have reversed course and said that the garments will be allowed, with a caveat. As we reported yesterday, the shirts and banner read “Where is Peng Shuai?”, referring to the previous disappearance of the Chinese tennis star who had accused a high ranking CCP official of sexually assaulting her. After not being seen for weeks, Shuai reappeared looking worse for wear and immediately retracted the...

NASA The James Webb Space Telescope has fired its thrusters and reached its orbital destination around a million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from our planet, NASA said Monday, a key milestone on its mission to study cosmic history. At around 2:00 pm Eastern Time (1900 GMT), the observatory fired its thrusters for 5 minutes in order to reach the so-called second Lagrange point, or L2, where it will have access to nearly half the sky at any given moment. "Webb, welcome home!" said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson in a statement. "We're one step closer to uncovering the mysteries...
