AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - The City of Amarillo is asking for help identifying a strange figure seen on surveillance camera at the Amarillo Zoo. Security cameras captured the image around 1:25 a.m. on May 21 inside a perimeter fence at the Amarillo Zoo. The zoo staff discovered the odd photo while going through security cameras. The city is encouraging the public to submit ideas for what the figure could be in the spirit of fun and curiosity. “We’d love to hear feedback from the community on what they think it might be. It’s a very unique picture, and we’re excited...

9 June 2022 Thursday of week 10 in Ordinary Time St Ephrem, Detroit, Michigan Readings at MassLiturgical Colour: Green.First reading1 Kings 18:41-46 ©'A cloud no bigger than a man's hand'Elijah said to Ahab, ‘Go back, eat and drink; for I hear the sound of rain.’ While Ahab went back to eat and drink, Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel and bowed down to the earth, putting his face between his knees. ‘Now go up,’ he told his servant ‘and look out to the sea.’ He went up and looked. ‘There is nothing at all’ he said. ‘Go back seven...

Transcript Excerpt #1: Things have changed. Now people are looking at [something real]. Are they a threat militarily, what kinds of sensors do we have, what kind of metrics do we have? We now have frame by frame an analysis of these objects. These objects travel between mach 5 and mach 20 . That's 20 times the speed of sound. These objects can zigzag and we can measure the g-force inside this object. The g-forces are several hundred times the force of gravity...in other words any living person's bones would be crushed by these objects so they're probably drones of...

The billionaire is in a protracted battle with the company over information about spam and fake accounts.After a weeks-long impasse, Twitter’s board plans to comply with Elon Musk’s demands for internal data by offering access to its full “firehose,” the massive stream of data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted each day, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the state of negotiations. The move aims to end a standoff with the billionaire, who has threatened to pull out of his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter unless...

As the Russian ruble defies currency market gravity, perhaps no one is more surprised than officials in Ankara and Buenos Aires.

How newsworthy is it that, shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, a man dressed in black, carrying a knapsack containing ammunition, a gun, and the kind of wrist-ties used in the assassination of a Wisconsin judge last week, was arrested outside the home of a United States Supreme Court Justice preparing to decide the future of Roe v. Wade?The answer, it turns out, depends on which newspaper one reads. The conservative dailies are running Californian Nicholas John Roske’s arrest for an attempt on the life of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh as their top stories this morning. “Incited to kill” is the...

House Democrats on Wednesday stalled a bill that would have provided additional security for Supreme Court Justices on the same day a man was arrested for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made a unanimous consent request on the House floor to bring up S. 4160 for a vote. S. 4160, which passed the Senate by a unanimous vote, would have allocated additional security for the justices’ family members. Despite McCarthy’s request, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats failed to comply with McCarthy’s proposal to bring the bill to vote.

The top Ukrainian official who was fired for spreading misinformation has admitted that she lied about Russians committing mass rape in order to convince western countries to send more weapons to Ukraine. Lyudmila Denisova, the former Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights, was removed from her position following a vote of no confidence in the Ukrainian parliament which passed by a margin of 234-to-9. Parliament member Pavlo Frolov specifically accused Denisova of pushing misinformation that “only harmed Ukraine” in relation to “the numerous details of ‘unnatural sexual offenses’ and child sexual abuses in the occupied territories, which were unsupported by...

The number of scholars who declare affiliations in both China and the United States on research papers has dropped by more than 20% the past 3 years, an analysis conducted for Nature has found. That slump seems to be part of a pattern of waning US–China collaboration that is starting to show up in research databases. The number of papers that were collaborations between authors in the United States and China — the world’s largest research producers — also fell the first time last year. These signs of falling collaboration are at least in part a result of the COVID-19...

It was late March, and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was going poorly. The Kremlin had done its best to black out Western coverage of the war domestically, as well as its reports of failed Russian advances and widespread brutality. On the Kremlin’s flagship media channel, Russia-1, came a very different, ghoulish story: from Russian-occupied Ukraine, an “exclusive” report alleging Ukrainian militants brutally raped and murdered a Ukrainian woman and disfigured her corpse. In the footage, a correspondent follows a pro-Russian separatist soldier into a school basement in Mariupol to view the corpse of a dead woman. The...

Pennies from Heaven. That is what the bottom 50% received from The Federal Reserve’s massive doses of monetary stimulus (or stimulypto). There was one big dose of monetary stimulus in late 2008 surrounding the financial crisis and housing bubble burst, another doses (aka, QE 2 and QE3) then the biggest dose of all with the outbreak of Covid in early 2020. President Biden should have mentioned on Jimmy Dimmel last night that The Federal Reserve has helped the bottom 50% with its endless monetary stimulus. But if you were fortunate enough to own a home (the top 1% are likely...

Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine is accelerating a shift towards a bipolar "new world order" in which a bloc led by the U.S. faces off with one led by China, a former NATO secretary-general has warned.Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a former Danish prime minister, urged democracies worldwide to "turn the tide" against powerful autocratic nations including Russia, as he warned that France and Germany appear to many as "weak links." "I think we are approaching a new world order, where we see two camps: an autocratic camp led by China, and a democratic camp led by the U.S.," Rasmussen—who is sanctioned...

The AR is an extremely light rifle; less than five pounds. This, along with it having virtually no recoil (kick), makes it very easy for a woman or any low-strength person to handle.

President Joe Biden joked with Jimmy Kimmel that Republican rule-breakers should be in jail, slammed Trump and called inflation the 'bane of our existence' in his first TV interview in 118 days. (Snip) Kimmel responded, 'It's like you're playing Monopoly with somebody who won't pass go or won't follow any of the rules, and how do you ever make any progress if they're not following the rules?' 'You've got to send them to jail,' Biden joked.

Georgia taxpayers will fund the costly “gender-affirming” surgery of a law enforcement officer because an Obama-appointed federal judge ruled that a county in the state’s central region violated the Civil Rights Act when its insurance company denied the operation. The chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgie, Marc Treadwell, writes in his opinion that the exclusion for the surgery, which is complicated and can cost tens of thousands of dollars, “plainly discriminates because of transgender status.” Enacted in 1964, the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national...

A US citizen with monkeypox escaped from a hospital in a Mexican resort and fled the country, local health authorities said Wednesday. The 48-year-old man, originally from Texas, fled the hospital in Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast last weekend despite having been told by medical staff that he should be tested for monkeypox and kept in isolation, the state health department said in a statement. When he arrived at the hospital, the patient had symptoms of "cough, chills, muscle pain and pustule-like lesions on his face, neck and trunk," the agency said. After fleeing the medical facility, the Texan...
