Both engines of the Jeju Air plane that crashed last month contained duck remains, according to a preliminary report on Monday (Jan 27), with authorities still trying to determine what caused the deadliest air disaster on South Korean soil. The six-page report released by South Korean authorities a month after the crash said both engines of the Boeing 737-800 jet contained DNA from Baikal Teals, a type of migratory duck that flies to South Korea for winter in huge flocks. But the report provided no initial conclusions about what may have caused the plane to land without its landing gear...

With Autumn has come the deadline for Registering your Poultry with DEFRA (and the APHA) under new regulations introduced to prevent the spread of Bird Flu. Under the new legislation, all keepers of poultry in England and Wales, even if you just have two or three pottering around your allotment or garden, must register them with DEFRA before Tuesday 1st October 2024. DO NOT WORRY! The Registration only requires your address, the number of birds you keep, and the type (e.g. chicken, duck, geese etc). It is an online registration form but you can email them if you prefer at...

Julio Rosas spoke with Bill Monaghan, a resident of Springfield, Ohio, to get to the source of the rising tensions in the area. Monaghan explained that although the massive influx of Haitian immigrants has been linked to duck disappearances, deaths as a result of reckless driving, and women feeling unsafe in their hometown, the local administration has insinuated that anyone who speaks up is a racist. But these scare tactics haven't intimidated everyone.

They're really doing it. Transcript linked below video.

My follow up of the issues about the Haitian community living in Springfield, Ohio my hometown. Once again not all FAKE NEWS.

Small conversation to address all the stories going around about the Haitian problems we are having to deal with in our little town. Transcript linked below video

~Half of America gets its news from respectable "mainstream" "journalists" such as ABC's David Muir, a man who "fact-checks" Donald Trump by citing a press release from the city manager of Springfield, Ohio that there's nothing to see here. Being a most solicitous court eunuch, Mr Muir - like his fellow mainstreamers - sees no reason to listen to those who actually live in Springfield. In the last four years, so many Haitians have descended on this Ohio town that they now constitute one-in-four of the population. And, whether it be the right to decapitate and eat waterfowl from municipal...

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s experience with Haiti and Haitians goes far beyond his current efforts to manage issues — ranging from baseless rumors to genuine concerns — related to the recent sudden influx of Haitian immigrants to Springfield. The Republican governor has an extensive connection to Haiti. In 1998, DeWine and his wife, Fran, founded the Becky DeWine School, named after the DeWines’ daughter who was killed in a 1993 car accident at 22 years old. The school was situated in a slum known as Cite Soleil in Haiti capitol Port Au Prince and run by a charity that had...

In case you were wondering what stupid thing our pals on the Left were losing their minds over today ... We’ve reached the stage where cat memes are now racist.pic.twitter.com/naS71O96SI — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) September 10, 2024 Apparently Ohioans reporting their animals missing since Haitian migrants were 'delivered' to their communities by the Biden/Harris administration and people are looking to find the humor in this crazy awful situation, that's racist or something. Hey man, don't look at us, we just work here. AND since we work HERE, we thought we'd snag some of the best cat memes of the day...

Springfield, Ohio — Oberlin College territory — has a population of roughly 60,000 people, and the Biden-Harris administration has dropped 20,000 Haitians in the community. As we reported Sunday, a resident told the city council that "Haitians are in the park grabbing ducks, cutting the heads off, and eating them." We're also seeing several stories about Haitian immigrants killing and eating not just ducks, but pets. Cats, in particular. WOTW even reported on a woman for allegedly killing a cat and eating it in front of the neighbors. This is the woman who ate the neighbor's cat. https://t.co/fEK7xTbaZj — The...

The Springfield Police Division said Monday morning they have received no reports related to pets being stolen and eaten. A social media post originally from a Springfield Facebook group went viral nationally in recent days. The original poster did not cite first-hand knowledge of an incident. Instead they claimed that their neighbor’s daughter’s friend had lost her cat and found it hanging from a branch at a Haitian neighbor’s home being carved up to be eaten. The poster also claimed “Rangers” and police told them that “they have been doing it” at Snyder Park, too, with ducks and geese. Springfield...

More than 20,000 Haitians are now living in Springfield, Ohio and the residents are fed up. Springfield has a population of about 60,000 people and Haitians now make up 25% of the population. Democrats want to take back Ohio so they have flooded parts of the state with Haitians and other illegal migrants. The City of Springfield held a City Commission meeting last week and angry residents went off on them for doing nothing about the Haitians wreaking havoc on the community and draining resources. Residents went off the local government officials for neglecting to keep the city clean and...

Around the world, scientists are now beginning to examine samples of the virus with a significant question in mind: Could this strain of the disease cause a global pandemic? This international network of scientists keeps constant watch for good reason. In 1918 and 1919, a flu pandemic killed between 20 million and 40 million people, more than the total death toll of World War I, more in a year than the Black Death of 1347 to 1351. More recently, an H1N1 swine flu pandemic was blamed for more than 284,500 human deaths worldwide between April 2009 and August 2010. So...

Former high-ranking FBI official Charles McGonigal started tearing up Thursday as he was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison for colluding with a Russian oligarch to evade US sanctions. McGonigal, 55, was ordered to surrender by Feb. 26, 2024, made to serve three years of supervised release following his time behind bars, and was fined $40,000. After he exited the courthouse, McGonigal told onlookers, “Happy holidays.” McGonigal, who helmed the FBI’s counterintelligence division in New York from 2016 to 2018, pleaded guilty to the charge back in August. “[McGonigal] well knew his actions violated those sanctions,” Manhattan federal judge...

In two acts of compassion, the dedicated members of the Cherry Hill Fire Department have once again proven that their devotion to saving lives knows no bounds. Demonstrating their commitment to the well-being of all living creatures, these firefighters have recently undertaken rescues involving not only adorable pups but also ducklings and kittens. Several weeks ago, the responders of Squad 13 found themselves involved in a rescue mission as they came to the aid of a family of stranded ducklings. The ducklings had inadvertently fallen into a storm drain, leaving them separated from their watchful mother. The firefighters successfully retrieved...

OAKLAND, Calif. - The rains that pounded the Bay Area caused so much flooding that Interstate Highway 580 by Oakland's Fruitvale and Laurel districts shut the road early Friday morning for about six hours. The water was so high that the rains even brought the ducks out to swim. Though the rains began pouring down late Thursday night, the California Highway Patrol shut down westbound 580 at MacArthur Boulevard/High Street about 3 a.m. Friday. And the freeway stayed that way, wet and free of cars, for most of the morning commute. Finally, the freeway reopened before noon.

“Genyornis was two meters tall and 200 kilos. We don’t know exactly what it would have looked like because it’s been dead for a while and there are few skeletal remains available. It was certainly a flightless bird with some characteristics shared with ostriches, like the big chest and small wings, but it would have looked more like a big goose or duck,” The evidence that humans were eating these large eggs comes from burnt eggshells found among the remains of ancient cultures. Scientists studying these sites find two different types of eggshells, one of which comes from emus and...

A mother duck and her eleven ducklings had a very lucky escape after they were run over by a motorist while crossing a highway. Footage shows the shocked parent bird flap into the air as the vehicle mows over her brood in Fort Worth, Texas, before gathering up her unhurt ducklings and continuing with the perilous crossing. A bystander can be heard shouting moments before the car hits: 'Mother duck, where's your yellow safety vest?'
