Illegal immigrants have been spotted popping out of manholes in downtown El Paso, crawling out of the sewer system to enter the country illegally, according to local reports. Residents who live near downtown El Paso have been witnessing migrants exiting manholes for weeks now, sometimes in groups as large as 30. A group of six illegal immigrants was spotted Wednesday night just north of the border wall by a KVIA-TV news crew after having entered the US waste water system via openings at the Rio Grande river, which serves as the border marker. “They are not using the river anymore,...

Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” House Select Committee investigating January 6, 2021 would release a large amount of raw evidence containing “pretty bad things” on Monday. Lofgren said, “Judge Carter in California already said in his written opinion on the Eastman evidence issue it’s more likely than not that President Trump, as well as Eastman, committed a crime. We’ve worked very successfully as a team on the committee, Republicans, and Democrats together, and I’m looking forward to wrapping this up. We’re working throughout the weekend, actually, on some of the tag ends of what we...

A new multidrug treatment for patients with stage IV melanoma has proven effective after a three-year clinical trial. The study was aimed at overcoming the immune suppression that occurs in some patients with metastatic melanoma—skin cancer that has spread to organs like the lungs. "We know immunotherapy is effective, but it doesn't work for everybody. Sometimes the tumors suppress the immune system and prevent the immune reaction," says Martin McCarter, MD. "We are very interested in trying to overcome this immune suppression, and by studying our melanoma patients at the cancer center we identified a particular cell population, called myeloid-derived...

MIAMI, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told the conservatives currently withholding support from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in McCarthy’s speakership bid to stand down in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday. “I like him,” Trump said of McCarthy, before teeing off on those working against him such as Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Bob Good (R-VA), and Ralph Norman (R-SC). While Trump did not name those trying to stop McCarthy from taking the Speaker’s gavel on January 3, he in no uncertain terms said he disagrees with their efforts—and warned...

A particularly good discussion focusing heavily on Zaluzhny's shocking Economist interview. Ritter shares The Duran analysts views (as does Judge Napolitano) that I already posted a few hours ago though goes into it more thoroughly. He thinks that Zelensky is history and that General Zaluzhny will be the one negotiating the terminal settlement (and hopes to be the next Ukrainian president.) One of the most interesting points is why this interview was set up. Clearly Britain and the U.S. wanted these disclosures made at this time. Ritter believes it is because they want this settled before Russia can take Odessa...

Disgraced English pop star and convicted pedophile Gary Glitter is set to be released from prison in the coming weeks after serving just half of his 16 year sentence for sexually abusing three young girls, according to a report. Glitter, born Paul Francis Gadd, could be freed as early as February for his model behavior, a Ministry of Justice source told The Sun. The depraved 78-year-old rose to prominence as a glam-rock star in the 1970s and 80s known for his wild live performances, but fell from grace after he was convicted of downloading child pornography in 1999. According to...

Two government ministers have quit their posts in Peru after days of sometimes violent protests over the impeachment of the former president. Officials say eight more people died on Thursday during clashes between the army and supporters of Pedro Castillo. Meanwhile, thousands of tourists are trapped in the city of Cusco after protesters forced the airport to close. The demonstrations began after Mr Castillo was removed from office by a congressional vote. Peru has been through years of political turmoil, with the latest crisis coming to a head on 7 December when the former president announced he was dissolving Congress...

J6 committee to recommend charges against Trump: 18 U.S.C. 2383, insurrection; 18 U.S.C. 1512(c), obstruction of an official proceeding; and 18 U.S.C. 371, conspiracy to defraud the United States government To justify incitement of insurrection, the report references U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta’s February ruling saying Trump’s language plausibly incited violence on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters besieged the Capitol in a bid to disrupt congressional certification of his loss to Joe Biden. The report also cites the Senate’s 57 votes in last year’s impeachment trial, Trump’s second, to convict him on an “incitement of...

A giant aquarium containing a million litres of water in the lobby of the Radisson Blu in Berlin has burst, flooding the hotel and nearby streets.

[Catholic Caucus] Mass outside the church in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, at 28° F... Whose fault is that?The following is Paix Liturgique Letter 905 of December 16, 2022. Translated for Rorate. For almost two years, the faithful of Saint-Germain who are attached to the traditional liturgy, who attend Mass on the square in front of an empty church that has been closed for almost the hundredth time, have been led astray. Certainly, on Friday, December 9, there was a dramatic turn of events: Mgr Luc Crepy, the bishop of Versailles, THEIR BISHOP, finally agreed to receive those whom he had until then considered...

Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters Thursday.

Friends, the size and scale of the war against mankind - you and me - has never been adequately explained and is poorly understood by most. Context matters. Covid was a constructed bio-weapon designed to fuel public fear and drive global demand for a killer poison. Mass depopulation was, and remains, their end goal. If you were President of the United States and knew there was a Central Banker and Big Pharma strategy to depopulate the world while amassing trillions in wealth, what would you do? Could you handle the weight of the free world on your shoulders? I invite...

As a follow up to my question regarding my Dell 5490 laptop: If I exceed the present RAM capacity (8 GB), then the SSD page (swap) file comes into play. The present swap file is 1.25 GB, on the 256 GB NVMe "C" drive. Reads and writes to the SSD of course "wear" it gradually. I am guessing my best bet is to increase the RAM. But, how does that compare to putting in a bigger NVMe boot drive (which I plan to do anyway) and increasing the page file size?

My Mom just called me from Abilene, Texas, and said she thought she felt a slight earthquake. I told her to call the police to see, and we also pulled up the USGS website. The website and the police confirmed that the quake was felt in Abilene that happened NNW of Midland. Anyone else feel this?

(Dec. 15, 2022) — What if your humble servant were to reveal something here at The P&E which could, once and for all, put an end to “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) debate raging in the comments sections of numerous posts here? What if recently-discovered “hard” evidence – in the form of a letter from John Jay to David Brearley, Chairman of the “Committee on Postponed Matters” at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 – was produced? And what if that letter confirmed the intent of the Founders to rely on § 212 of Emmerich de Vattel’s treatise The Law of Nations...

MSNBC network contributor Dr. Vin Gupta said Friday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Report” that school and public health officials need to require people to wear face masks again because of an increase in COVID cases. When asked about a 39% surge in cases over the last two weeks, Gupta said, “If you’re medically high at risk, and for three years, we have been talking about what that means. I’m assuming folks know if they are medically high risk, have a treat plan in place with your medical provider. I have been pushing our colleagues in medicine to do standing prescriptions...

It doesn’t get any sadder than this: “19 percent of men and 12 percent of women in the 25-34 demographic cohabit with their parents.” Nearly a fifth — a fifth! — of men aged 25-34 live with Mom and Dad? What? At least the parents aren’t happy about it. The Hill reports:
