(Back to the Art Bell show from the (Kingdom of Nye) AUSTIN, Texas — The documentary The Age of Disclosure sets out to do what countless films have done before: present proof that humans on Earth are not alone in the universe. What’s different this time is that 34 senior members of the government, military and intelligence community went on camera to talk about it.

In America today, evil has a large cheering section. In Los Angeles, advocates for criminal aliens doxed ICE agents, posting flyers with their personal information, endangering them and their families. This is the latest tactic to prevent the deportation of hardened criminals and gang members, including those wanted for rape and murder. One group, which styles itself the Community Self-Defense Coalition, has been patrolling the city with megaphones, warning of the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The European Union (EU) retaliated swiftly with a two-step approach in response to President Trump’s fresh 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum that took effect Wednesday. First, the European trading bloc — made up of 27 nations — will allow the suspension of the existing 2018 and 2020 countermeasures against the U.S. to expire on April 1. Second, the commission is proposing a new package of countermeasures on goods coming from the U.S. that will go into effect in mid-April, covering some $28 billion in imports in total. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said Europe...

Ukraine has attacked the Russian pipeline that cuts off the energy to Hungary and Slovakia. Budapest declared it was an attack on its sovereignty in the official statement of the Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. Zelensky is out of control.

The reaction to Covid showed Americans the system wasn’t going to save them. They were going to have to do it themselves. When Donald Trump first sailed into the Oval Office, his detractors shrieked that his blunt rhetoric was dividing the country. His supporters pointed out that Trump wasn’t so much creating division as he was revealing divisions that had been growing in America for a long time. The reaction to the novel Wuhan coronavirus did the country a similar service, by revealing a new fault line: two sets of rules, which were applied differently to Americans depending on their...

Seems like a good question, since large parts of America have yet to forgive Elon Musk for saving free speech here. Whatever Musk's other peccadilloes may be, he spent $44 billion of his own money to buy Twitter outright and immediately exposed how government pressured the platform to shut down dissent and debate during the Biden years. Musk uncovered the whole corrupt Big Brother-Big Tech Censorship Industrial Complex run out of the Departments of State and Health and Human Services and the abuse of "misinformation" to mean "anything that contradicts our positions." ... Musk hasn't abandoned the cause of free...

Numbers 6:25-26 "The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: (26) The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." John 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

On October 1, 2017, shots rang out all over the Las Vegas Strip as concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival fled to safety. In total, 59 people were killed and over 500 injured during the chaos that erupted from above on the country music gathering. John Pelletier, then a captain with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, was the incident commander and was tasked with managing the extensive crime scene. After an incredibly controversial investigation, it was determined that Stephen Paddock, 64, was the lone gunman who opened fire on the crowd from the Mandalay Bay hotel, positioned...

Consumer prices rose 2.8% in February compared to a year ago, easing slightly over the first full month under President Donald Trump and offering welcome news for markets roiled by a global trade war. Inflation cooled more than economists expected. Price increases slowed from a 3% inflation rate recorded in January, though inflation remain nearly a percentage point higher than the Federal Reserve's target of 2%. Egg prices, a closely watched symbol of price increases, soared 58.8% in February compared to a year ago, accelerating from the previous month. Bird flu has decimated the egg supply, lifting prices higher. The...

The US Department of Education is planning to cut about half of its workforce, as the Trump administration works to slash the size of the federal government. The mass layoffs will affect nearly 2,100 people who are set to be placed on leave from 21 March. Trump has long sought to eliminate the department, a long-cherished goal of some conservatives, but such an action would require approval by Congress. The department, which has an annual budget of around $238bn (£188bn), employs more than 4,000 people. Established in 1979, the department oversees funding for public schools, administers student loans and runs...

The Trump administration is wasting no time reversing President Joe Biden's disastrous energy policies and is already opening up new lanes of production less than two months after being sworn into office. Last week Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris Wright traveled to Louisiana to announce new liquified natural gas exports are back in business. Bergum and Wright were hosted by Venture Global, which committed to $18 billion in new energy investments. "Venture Global announced plans for a brownfield expansion at its Plaquemines LNG facility south of New Orleans, Louisiana. Joining Venture Global for the announcement was Secretary...

The Biden Autopen scandal is growing by the day. The Oversight Project released new analysis of Biden’s pardons for family members, Dr. Tony Fauci, General Milley, J6 Committee members and Gerald Lundergan. On January 19, 2025, just one day before Trump was set to be sworn in as the 47th US President, Joe Biden issued a flurry of pardons to his family members, Fauci and others. The Oversight Project determined that all of the pardons issued on January 19 had the same exact Biden autopen signature. VIDEO AT LINK............... Who was making the decisions?

Inflation cooled slightly in February even as the pace of price growth remained well above the Federal Reserve's goal ahead of the central bank's policy meeting next week. The Labor Department on Wednesday said that the consumer price index (CPI) – a broad measure of how much everyday goods like gasoline, groceries and rent cost – increased 0.2% in February compared with last month, while it rose 2.8% on an annual basis. Both the annual and monthly increases in headline inflation were cooler than the expectations of LSEG economists. So-called core prices, which include more volatile measurements of gasoline and...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Prime,” host Alicia Menendez reacted to President Donald Trump stating that, in her characterization, “he would label violence against dealerships domestic terrorism” by saying that “So, just to be clear, you protest a private company, you are labeled by this administration a domestic terrorist.” Menendez said, “[Y]ou also, overnight, have this post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal. He said today he would label violence against dealerships domestic terrorism. Now, you know I am judicious in how I play this sound, but I think you need to hear it from him.” She then...

In a post in December 2021, I first asked which state or country would be the first to hit the “Renewable Energy Wall” — described as “a situation where the electricity system stops functioning, or the price goes through the roof,” or some other aspects of impossibility become so unavoidable that the zero carbon fantasy must be abandoned. In subsequent posts I have explored various ways that the Wall was starting to manifest — for example, cancellation of offshore wind energy developments, and abandonment of large investments in producing so-called “green hydrogen.” Although the coming of the Wall has been...

President Donald Trump has long been able to bend Republican lawmakers to his will with a single online post. The mere hint of a threat that he might announce a member “SHOULD BE PRIMARIED” is enough to bring most GOP members into line. Not Rep. Thomas Massie. The 54-year-old former robotics engineer brushed aside that precise threat from Trump Monday night, even with the president vowing to “lead the charge” against him after Massie made clear that he would not vote for the Trump-blessed spending bill pushed by House Republican leaders. Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Massie met the threat with...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has temporarily halted spending to all of the programs it funds at University of Maine System schools, a system spokesperson announced Tuesday morning. The move temporarily pauses the system's agricultural research and programs weeks after President Donald Trump threatened to cut funding for Maine because it allows transgender athletes to compete in sports. The university system has $56.1 million in active USDA grants, most of which support the flagship campus in Orono and agriculture programs and research, according to spokesperson Samantha Warren.

The 62-year-old says she left and dragged her 12-year-old daughter with her because not all Americans have equal rights now."I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are.""You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends.""I miss many things about life there at home and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s...
