    There are many people who only became aware of Elon Musk after he dropped Ron DeSantis and took up a position in support of President Trump. Most of those people do not have a reference for Musk complying with the platform control demands of Brazil, France and Turkey [Durov (Telegram), and Pavlovski (Rumble) did not]. Most of those Pro-Elon people also do not have a reference for Musk claiming he and his legal team did not know former FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker was the legal counsel for Twitter at the time of the purchase, until after independent journalist...

    New findings made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope reveal that the Earth-like exoplanet Trappist-1 b may have an atmosphere after all, potentially overturning earlier findings. Approximately forty light years from Earth, seven planets orbit the star Trappist-1, three of which–Trappist-1e, f, and g–exist in the star’s habitable zone and could theoretically be warm enough to allow for liquid water on their surfaces. Since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has logged 290 hours observing the Trappist-1 system across ten research endeavors. Elsa Ducort of Paris’s Commissariat aux Énergies Atomiques (CEA) led the study team, which analyzed...

    On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Belleville, NJ, Mayor Michael Melham denounced New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) for skipping out on a meeting on the drone sightings over the state and also stated that, while he believes the drones are federal government assets, it doesn’t make sense for Murphy to say, “I don’t know what it is, but I can tell you that it doesn’t seem like a credible threat. You can’t have it both ways.” Melham said, “[W]hen you have our Governor going out on social media, saying, we don’t know what it is, but we...

    Two influencers are dead after refusing to wear lifejackets on a speedboat that sank off the Brazilian coast – because they didn’t want the safety gear to ruin their tan in photos, according to police. Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, 37, and Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, 27, ignored pleas to wear their life preservers when an overcrowded boat taking them back to shore from a yacht party capsized in the rough waters of Devil’s Throat along the Iguazu River, according to local reports. “Some didn’t want to put them on because they were taking selfies,” Sao Vincente Police Commissioner...

    A woman who inherited $250,000 from her late grandmother has revealed how she quit her job, blew through the money and now lives in a rental home. Sarah Faith Jacobson, a 40-year-old corporate consultant in Texas, said after she received the large amount of money she had no idea what to do with it, and 'regrets' how she spent it. Her grandparents were successful Bay Area real-estate investors in the 1970s, and after her grandmother died in 2020, Jacobson inherited $175,000 from her life insurance policy and another $75,000 from her will.

    The Parliamentary faction of President Emmanuel Macron has been utterly destroyed in the unexpected snap election he called just three weeks ago, with Le Pen’s Party looking to nearly treble its seat holding. Polling has closed in France for the first round of this week-long Parliamentary election. While actual seat distribution won’t be fully known, the exit polls following this knock-out round have given a confident answer that Marine Le Pen’s nationalist-populist National Rally (RN) won the day. Per the exit polls, her faction gained 34 per cent of the vote, while the left-wing coalition founded for the purpose of...

    MOSCOW, June 6 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Thursday that Western nations which supply Ukraine with weapons to directly strike Russian territory will definitely face consequences after President Vladimir Putin said he was considering arming the West's enemies in retaliation. Speaking with senior editors of international news agencies in St Petersburg on Wednesday, the Russian leader said Moscow was thinking about supplying advanced long-range weapons - of a similar nature to those the West is giving Ukraine - to the West's adversaries around the world.

    Russia's armed forces have grown larger and not dwindled during its war in Ukraine, a top US general said on Wednesday. "The army is actually now larger — by 15 percent — than it was when it invaded Ukraine," US Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, told the House Armed Services Committee in a hearing. "Over the past year, Russia increased its front-line troop strength from 360,000 to 470,000," Cavoli continued, adding that the bolstered numbers stemmed from Russia raising its conscription age from 27 to 30. The increase, Cavoli said, meant that Russia was able to...

    In a surprising turn of events, the ‘bittwersweet’ triumph by the Japanese Space Agency JAXA has taken a turn for the better, as the SLIM spacecraft has regained power. The module performed a historical and very precise lunar landing a a little over a week ago, but ran out of electricity because it ‘ended up upside down in the moon surface’, with solar panels facing the wrong direction. But on late Sunday (28), JAXA finally re-established communication with its Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM). The spacecraft touchdown made Japan the fifth country to put a spacecraft on the moon,...

    Mayor Adams admitted Tuesday that his trip to Latin America may not have actually worked in convincing migrants to stop coming to the Big Apple, which was a key rationale offered by City Hall for making the sojourn. Hizzoner’s remarks came just hours after The Post and other outlets published interviews with migrants in the region who are desperate for jobs and were either unaware the mayor’s visit or undeterred from making the dangerous trip northward to the United States. “Was it successful 100%? I don’t know that. We’re not going to know,” he said when asked if he did...
