China's lunar probe has returned to Earth with the first ever samples from the Moon's unexplored far side. The Chang'e-6 landed in the Inner Mongolia desert on Tuesday, after a nearly two-month long mission which was fraught with risks. Scientists are eagerly awaiting the Chang’e-6 as the samples could answer key questions about how planets are formed. China is the only country to have landed on the far side of the Moon, having done so before in 2019. The far side - which faces away from Earth - is technically challenging to reach due to its distance, and its difficult...

@LeadingReport BREAKING: Former President Trump says he will threaten Zelensky and Putin into peace talks to end the war. "We tell the Ukrainians, 'You've got to come to the table, and if you don't come to the table, support from the United States will dry up. And you tell Putin, He's got to come to the table, and if you don't come to the table, then we'll give Ukrainians everything they need to k*ll you in the field."

Kremlin propagandists have claimed that countries in Latin America, including Mexico, could host missiles that can strike American targets.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnamese automaker VinFast, for a short time the third-most valuable car company in the world, has a big problem: It just can’t sell enough cars. Idle factories bleed money and the company’s financial health is at stake. After finding the U.S. market a tough nut to crack, Vinfast is hoping its tiniest and cheapest car yet — a roughly 10-foot-long pure battery electric mini-SUV priced at $9,200 and called the VF3 — will become Vietnam’s “national car” and win over consumers in Asian markets. Designed specifically for the Vietnamese and other Asian markets, the VF3 is...

Grady was closely watching a game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky in his man cave when Cara walked into the room. A flustered Bill reportedly fumbled to close out of the game in a frantic attempt to hide what he was doing. "It's not what it looks like!" he insisted as Cara stood staring at him in surprise. "I was… I was just, uh, playing Wordle!...

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) delivered two precedent-setting rulings that could significantly impact former President Donald Trump’s criminal convictions. In a decisive 6-3 decision in the Erlinger vs United States case, the Supreme Court ruled that juries must be unanimous on each criminal count, a standard not met in Trump’s New York case, where the jury returned a 4-4-4 verdict on the underlying crime. This ruling underlines that Trump’s conviction was unconstitutional and must be overturned. During Trump’s New York trial, the judge had instructed the jury that unanimity on the specific crimes was unnecessary, as long...

Are There Vaccines in our Food Supply?In my previous articles, we looked at the global war on farmers, the organizations pushing for the Great Food Reset, the tactics used to foist these changes on the public, and the projects underway to remove your access to healthy, farm-fresh foods. Today we will delve into the contentious issue of vaccines in the food supply.Accurate information on this topic is not easy to find. The USDA and drug developers aren’t required to release any information on veterinary drugs in the development pipeline, so independent detectives are left searching through peer-reviewed papers, university publications,...

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) leader Michael Steele said the judge overseeing former President Trump’s classified documents case is “putting the prosecution on trial.” Steele slammed Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the classified documents case, for handling the pretrial motions slowly and for being biased toward the prosecutors on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki.” He referred to a New York Times report last week that said two of Cannon’s colleagues urged her to pass off the case, suggesting it might be better for the case to be heard in the Miami courthouse. "Since then, as the Times puts it,...

Campus carry for self-defense will become illegal in Colorado when SB24-131 takes effect on July 1, 2024. On April 20, 2015, Breitbart News noted that campus carry had been the law of the land in Colorado since 2003. There had been no mass shootings, and, apart from one incident in which a Colorado University employee accidentally discharged a gun, there were zero crimes by permit holders during those first 12 years. A Google search conducted on June 24, 2024, found the story had not changed — there have still been no mass shootings on a Colorado college/university campus, and no...

A cafe owner on the Lower East Side was mocked by two grinning vandals as he confronted them on video for shamelessly tagging his costly dining shed earlier this month. “Are you serious, man?” Kaiser Richter asked one of the men as he came upon him finishing some graffiti on the dining shed outside Flowers Cafe on Essex Street. “Nobody’s here,” a second tagger shrugged as Richter approached, according to an Instagram video of the incident shared on June 11. The first tagger did not reply to Richter’s questions but grinned as he walked away from his finished work, which...
