China has discovered a massive 1-million-ton thorium deposit valued at $178 billion that could potentially power the nation for the next 60,000 years. Thorium is a radioactive metal found in the Earth’s crust that is three times as common as uranium. One ton of thorium can produce as much energy as 200 tons of uranium or 3.5 million tons of coal. “For generations, nations have fought wars over oil and gas—yet we’ve had a clean energy solution beneath our feet all along,” one Chinese scientist commented. Thorium is praised as a less toxic alternative as the radioactive waste it produces...

@RandPaul Let me be totally clear: I will not vote to send one American soldier to Iran. Not one.

Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article. The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and revealed exclusively to The Post, are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency. “Can we do some work to nail down Trump’s role in this,”...

Donald Trump has approved plans to attack Iran, but has not made a final decision on whether to strike the country, the BBC's US partner CBS reports. The US president held off on initiating strikes in case Iran agreed to abandon its nuclear programme, a senior intelligence source told CBS. Trump is reportedly considering a US strike on Fordo, an underground uranium enrichment facility in Iran. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday rejected Trump's demand for unconditional surrender, as the US president said his patience had run out. On Wednesday, Trump said, "I may do it, I may...

Some believe UFOs are nothing but figments of people’s imaginations, or at best atmospheric ilusions; others think they are earthly secret technology; while some are convinced that these unidentified craft are of alien origin (or at least reverse-engineered alien tech). But whatever these objects may be, the unidentified aerial phenomenon is a reality, and public interest in the matter does not seem to wane. So, another week, another ‘big reveal’, with alleged US military personnel footage capturing a ‘flying saucer UFO’ being released yesterday (17) to the public. Daily Mail reported: “Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp say the...

James Bond is smiling. Among one of most astonishing revelations about Israel’s lightning military attack against Iran is its bold decision well before the war began to insert large, secret operational teams into the Islamic country. “Operation Rising Lion’s” clandestine operations will go down in military history as the most ambitious covert military offensive in modern warfare. The press has briefly noted it, but they are missing the real story. Israel’s secret Iranian operations led by Mossad, the country’s spy agency, have not stopped. They are ongoing. And only a few are talking about it. One who is talking about...

Regardless of whether Israel has the capabilities to decimate Iran’s entire nuclear program, or if the United States needs to become further involved in the war and provide Israel with “bunker-buster” bombs, one thing is clear: “If this war should end with the Iranian regime intact and the elements of its nuclear program recoverable, then, in some ways, it will be all for naught,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “It is surreal. If we had this conversation five years ago and I said to you, ‘the Iranian nation—that is huge...

Ten or twenty bucks a month will keep this thing going. I've donated anonymously back since 1997 when I found this site. When this the only place on the interwebs reporting on Xlinton's malfeasance. True, the site is now dominated by crippled, angry, old men, and fat, blue-haired old bitties whose nipples drag on the floor when they walk.

From the Beatles touching down in America and sending fans into a frenzy, to underdog Cassius Clay (soon to be known as Muhammad Ali) shocking the world by defeating Sonny Liston, 1964 was undeniably electric. It was the year that saw a huge win in the fight for equality as President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, while a little show called “Jeopardy!” made its debut on TV. Everywhere you looked, history was being made — and these photos capture it all.

Dozens of criminal illegal aliens were arrested on June 10 at an Omaha, Nebraska, food plant. All were using the stolen identities of Americans to lend legitimacy to their employment standing. The Department of Homeland Security put the number of those arrested at "approximately 70." All were detained during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at a Green Valley Foods plant. ICE agents, carrying warrants, entered the facility to begin making arrests following a months-long investigative effort. Mark Zito leads the regional Homeland Security Investigations office involved in the case. He said some people in the area have offered misguided...

Original joke by me What was the radio call sign used by the IDF for a successful surprise strike on Iran? "Torah,Torah,Torah"

The U.S. government is expected to eliminate from its dietary guidelines the long-standing recommendation that adults limit alcohol consumption to one or two drinks per day, according to three sources familiar with the matter, in what could be a major win for an industry threatened by heightened scrutiny of alcohol's health effects. The updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which could be released as early as this month, are expected to include a brief statement encouraging Americans to drink in moderation or limit alcohol intake due to associated health risks, the sources said. *** Currently, the recommendations advise limiting drinking to...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday over a state rule that allows illegal immigrations to qualify for in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities. The lawsuit alleges that Kentucky improperly categorizes individuals in the country without legal status as state residents, thereby making them eligible for reduced in-state tuition rates, while U.S. citizens from other states must pay higher tuition. The move coincides with the Trump administration’s heightened scrutiny of jurisdictions that do not comply with federal immigration laws. “This unequal treatment of Americans is squarely prohibited and preempted...

For the sake of urgency I’m going to talk in direct and bold terms about the targeting of Tulsi Gabbard. The IC system is attempting to remove her as a disruptive influence by using Iran as a wedge to get her out, but the issue they have with her has nothing to do with Iran. CTH approaches this after being very concerned about Tulsi Gabbard’s ability. Not because of intent, but rather because we doubted she understood the scope of the IC opposition aligned against the office of the Director of National Intelligence. She started out with these weaknesses, but...

OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland city officials say they're prepared for the Juneteenth celebration Thursday after sideshows and a wild shootout marred last year's festivities. "We're certainly not looking for a repeat of activity. We're far more prepared this year than last year," said City Administrator Justin Johnson.

President Trump on Wednesday said Tucker Carlson called him to apologize for his Iran comments. Earlier this week Tucker Carlson appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” to discuss the ongoing Iran-Israel fight. Last Friday Israel bombed nuclear sites in Tehran and wiped out many of Iran’s nuclear scientists and top military brass. Iran responded by launching missile strikes at Tel Aviv. The United States assisted Israel and intercepted Iran’s missiles. On Monday evening, President Trump cut his G7 visit in Canada short and returned to DC to meet with his National Security Council team amid rumors the US would get...

Israel’s military warned people Thursday to evacuate the area around Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor. The warning came in a social media post on X. It included a satellite image of the plant in a red circle like other warnings that proceeded strikes.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” that the “Democratic Party has been the most effective political party in the history of the world.” Host Will Cain said, “I think you’ve got a deeper problem in the way that the left is talking about America.” Carville said, “If I take everything that they all said, it wouldn’t amount to what Mike Lee said, who’s actually a United States Senator who actually said something very harmful and very hurtful and is not apologize for it. So, I mean, we can go on. I mean,...
