Just days after Mayor Eric Adams turned down Greg Abbott’s invitation to visit the southern border, the Texas governor sent a taste of the ongoing migrant surge to NYC’s doorstep — with the first busload of border-crossers arriving in Manhattan Friday morning. The Republican governor revealed in a statement that the migrant bus arrived at Gate 14 of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, but did not provide any additional details — such as how many people were on board or their countries of origin.

In his ads, and much of the public imagination, John Fetterman is a tattooed everyman from a rugged steel city outside Pittsburgh... Public records show — and Fetterman has openly acknowledged — that for a long stretch lasting well into his 40s, his main source of income came from his parents, who gave him and his family $54,000 in 2015 alone...

The FBI considers someone who displays a particular emblem representing the Second Amendment as a possible "Militia Violent Extremist," according to a new report from Project Veritas. The organization set up by James O'Keefe in 2010 as a nonprofit journalism enterprise to facilitate undercover reporting said it had obtained from a whistleblower an FBI document "which shows how the Bureau classifies American citizens it deems to be potential 'Militia Violent Extremists.'" "The FBI cites symbols, images, phrases, events, and individuals that agents should look out for when identifying alleged domestic terrorists," the report explains about the document marked for "FBI...

Fisheries managers in the state are doing what they can to protect the resource while still providing opportunities for anglers Colorado is asking anglers to catch fish in two reservoirs. Jumbo Reservoir is popular among walleye anglers, but the state expects the reservoir to dry up completely in the near future. Late last month, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department announced emergency public fish salvages for two reservoirs located on the state’s eastern plains. Fisheries managers expect Jumbo and Queens Reservoirs to dry up completely in the near future, and they are hoping the public can harvest as many...

While the study's results suggested that immunity decreases 20 weeks after vaccination, a third booster (of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, in the case of this study) helped the immune system to identify and neutralise the 20 different variants. The antigenic map allowed the team to identify and measure how each variant impacted the immune system. Dr Daniel Horton, co-author of the study and Reader in Veterinary Virology at the University of Surrey, said: "The emergence of this disease and its disruptive and deadly impact on our day-to-day lives demonstrates how crucial it is for the scientific community to work together to...

Words cannot describe this video (it's a spoof), but I promise you'll find it, er, interesting.

Officials believe the herd of elk must have been side hilling along the ridge line when the animals were caught in a landslide. Officials with Idaho Fish and Game made a grisly discovery at the base of a steep slope near Lewiston last week. Amidst a pile of rubble and debris, they found what Northwest Sportsman Magazine referred to as an “elk boneyard.” Officials found at least 15 elk heads, along with fur, broken legs, spines, and countless other bones. “All of this is elk,” says IDFG senior wildlife technician Mark Shepard in a video he filmed of the discovery....

Oh, deer — that’s not legal! Two Miami men were busted this week with an endangered Key deer in the back of their ride, deputies said. Yoankis Hernandez Pena, 38, and Andres Leon Valdes, 45, were arrested during a traffic stop early Sunday in Marathon, where deputies noticed their Chevrolet hatchback swerving in and out of a lane, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies found an injured Key deer inside the vehicle on top of a cooler, some lawn chairs and other miscellaneous items, authorities said. Pena and Valdes claimed they struck the endangered deer on US 1...

Pennsylvania Democrat U.S. Senate nominee John Fetterman’s “blue collar” image is being called into question after reports revealed he lived off of his parents’ money well into his mid-40s. Although Fetterman runs ads that purport him to be a “blue collar tough guy,” his parents reportedly financially supported him while he served as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, for 13 years. Fetterman, who has acknowledged his “cushy” suburban childhood, has openly admitted to the financial contributions his parents gave him as an adult. For example, in 2015, his parents gave him $54,000, which he disclosed during his failed 2016 Senate candidacy,...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of Breonna Taylor. It took months for news of her killing at the hands of the Louisville Police Department to reach the national media

The cesspool of vaccine side effects in Germany is finally completely open. According to the Dutch news site, Blckbx, five months after a Wob request, it appears that 437,593 of the 11 million insured persons of the country’s largest Health Insurance fund, Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), had to undergo medical treatment in 2021 for Covid vaccine side effects. That is 1 in 25 and an increase of 3000 percent.

After years of Russiagate conspiracy theories about how the Russians had somehow rigged the 2016 presidential election using Facebook ads, the Senate Intelligence report awkwardly revealed that the Russian operation had focused most of its attention on black nationalists. The Senate report revealed that "most of the videos" put out by the Russian IRA troll factory on YouTube "pertained to police brutality and the activist efforts of the Black Lives Matter organization" and found that "no single group of Americans was targeted... more than African-Americans" around "race and related issues". But that was an understatement. The Russians had created their...

Convicted Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) member Hatem Fariz is back in Israel, once again leading a tour for his terrorist supporting friends. This particular trip has them attending different weddings. One of the attendees, Isayed Darawad, is a surprise, as he is a member of the US Army. And though he may wear green camos with a ‘Stars and Stripes’ patch, this is a man who believes America’s friend Israel doesn’t exist and wants to see her Jewish citizens dead. Why is Israel allowing terrorist operatives into her country, and why is the US allowing their supporters into the military?...

An illustration depicting GRB21106A. The event itself is seen as a white jet in the center of the frame, stemming from the merger seen as a pale blue lighted disk on the bottom left, and the shockwave afterglow is seen as a larger, semi-circular lit-up region toward the middle right. This artist's conception shows the merger between a neutron star and another star (disk, lower left) which caused an explosion resulting in GRB 211106A (white jet, middle), and left behind one of the most luminous afterglows on record (semispherical shock wave midright).
