Congress heard jaw-dropping testimony today during the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets’ hearing titled “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection.” Task Force Chairwoman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) blasted the federal government and intelligence community for deliberately keeping Americans in the dark about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). Luna stressed the danger of stonewalling the public, warning that UAP secrecy directly undermines U.S. national security and erodes trust in our Republic. U.S. Air Force Veteran Dylan Borland, a former geospatial intelligence specialist for the U.S. Air Force and senior defense analyst for BAE Systems and...

Fuel is an essential part of what pilots prioritize, but this controller felt that wasn't anything they cared about.

Seventy years ago, a farmer beheaded a chicken in Colorado, and it refused to die. Mike, as the bird became known, survived for 18 months and became famous. But how did he live without a head for so long, asks Chris Stokel-Walker. On 10 September 1945 Lloyd Olsen and his wife Clara were killing chickens, on their farm in Fruita, Colorado. Olsen would decapitate the birds, his wife would clean them up. But one of the 40 or 50 animals that went under Olsen's hatchet that day didn't behave like the rest. "They got down to the end and had...

The cold-blooded murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte public transit system has finally gotten the mainstream media aroused, but not because a heinous crime was committed. It's because "Republicans pounced." Here's CNN's take: Gruesome video shows a man stabbing a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee to death on a Charlotte light rail train — a case that has turned into a flashpoint as the Trump administration vows to crack down on crime in large, predominantly Democratic cities. It's as though they're trying say that a 'gruesome video' is unrelated to a gruesome act, and that the video is the problem,...

Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter will not be suspended for this week’s game against the Chiefs after spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on Thursday night. But he hasn’t avoided losing a paycheck, or having a suspension placed in his permanent record. As PFT predicted, Carter was fined $57,222 for the incident, which got him ejected before he played a single snap of the season opener. Carter’s fine is his full weekly paycheck, and he didn’t play at all in the game, so the NFL is terming Carter’s punishment a one-game unpaid suspension — a suspension that has already been...

ATLANTA – A federal judge has upheld a portion of a controversial 2022 Georgia election law dealing with absentee ballots. In a 50-page ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee declared that the state had a “compelling governmental interest” in restricting the distribution of absentee ballot applications by third-party voting rights activists. He ruled that the state was justified in enacting restrictions aimed at “reducing voter confusion, enhancing voter confidence and increasing electoral efficiency.” The absentee ballot restrictions were part of a broad overhaul of Georgia election procedures the Republican-controlled General Assembly passed in 2021 after Democrat Joe Biden carried...

The Minnesota Star Tribune has announced the closure of its Minneapolis printing plant as its shifts its newspaper printing to Iowa, with 125 workers set to be laid off as a result. The newspaper's Heritage Printing Facility on North 1st Street in the Warehouse District has been operating for almost 40 years, opening in the years after the 1982 merger of the Minneapolis Tribune and the Minneapolis Star. It will bring an end to 158 years of locally printed newspapers in the Twin Cities, with the Star Tribune henceforth being printed at a facility in Des Moines that is run...

<p>FORT MCCOY, Wis. – Many things can cripple a military. One is the inability to adapt and integrate new technology and remain competitive on the battlefield, and the other is the loss of communication between personnel, military systems, and allies. U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers assigned to the 324th Expeditionary Signal Battalion (ESB), Bravo Company, are working to ensure that the Army continues to move into the future by utilizing new and better technology with their use of SpaceX’s laser-operated Starshield communications system.</p>

The “Godfather of AI” warned that the technology’s rapid adoption will unleash massive unemployment — hurting the poorest people the most if safe scalability is not prioritized. Geoffrey Hinton — a former Google whiz who last year won the Nobel Prize in physics for paving the way for the powerful AI systems we have today — said the CEOs pushing the technology as a possible solution to problems like hunger, poverty and disease are full of it. “What’s actually going to happen is rich people are going to use AI to replace workers,” Hinton told the Financial Times. “It’s going...

More than 60 containers toppled off a cargo ship Tuesday morning in the Port of Long Beach, tumbling overboard and floating in the water. The shipping containers fell off a vessel named the Mississippi shortly before 9 a.m., and no injuries have been reported, according to Port of Long Beach spokesperson Art Marroquin. About 67 containers were in the water, the US Coast Guard said on the social platform X. Long Beach, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Los Angeles, is one of the busiest seaports in the country, with 40% of all shipping containers in the United States...

Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence made history on Tuesday when he came off the bench in Belgrade to become the first Muslim to earn a senior cap for England. Spence, 25, replaced Chelsea's Reece James in the 69th minute of England's 5-0 World Cup qualifying victory. "I was surprised because I didn't know I was the first, so it's a blessing," London-born Spence said. "It's good to make history and hopefully inspire young kids around the world that they can make it as well. They can do what I am doing."

People are turning to AI chatbots for anything from writing emails to planning holidays. But can they be trusted with our finances? A few months ago, a fellow journalist asked me: “Do you invest? Do you think you will be able to retire with a million dollars?” Thinking back on the mild heart-stopping fluctuations I'd seen in my portfolio amid tariff uncertainties, I replied that I wasn’t sure. He suggested I get some feedback from ChatGPT. Unfazed by the skeptical look I gave, he persisted. “Try feeding (it) your portfolio and see what it says.” I was intrigued, and later...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As national discourse continued to be centered around highly publicized violent crimes perpetrated on innocent victims, Democrats warned that surveillance videos perpetuate stereotypes by accurately depicting events. A series of shocking incidents caught on various surveillance cameras brought the increase in violent crime to the public's attention, causing prominent members of the Democratic Party to push for the removal of security cameras, as they tend to portray violent criminals as violent criminals. "It's wrong for these cameras to show things as they really are," said Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett. "With all these cameras everywhere, it's gettin' really...

New footage released shows Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was fully aware and terrified as Decarlos Brown stabbed her to death. (Additional and more graphic footage was also later released.) The 23-year-old sobbed and suffered as she bled out. As The Gateway Pundit reported, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. murdered Iryna Zarutska last month by stabbing her multiple times on the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail as bystanders did nothing.

Shocking footage captured the moment a deranged Louisiana woman violently backed her car over a coworker, then calmly cleaned up the debris as the victim lay unconscious on the ground. Lillian Sellers, 67, was busted Monday after security video exposed her lie that her colleague’s critical injuries stemmed from a simple fall in the parking lot of the Greenbriar Community Care Center, a senior rehab facility where they both work, the night before, according to the Slidell Police Department. The alarming clip shows Sellers abruptly throw her SUV in reverse, speed backwards and slam into the victim as she crossed...

In recent weeks, the Biden administration and its allies in the corporate media have been attempting to deflect attention from America’s ongoing crime crisis. The left knows that it is its policies that have led to the increase in crime in most cities since 2016 and now they are politically vulnerable.
