Private Cessna jet crashes in Virginia after it 'violated DC airspace' and sparked Pentagon to scramble fighter jets to intercept - which caused sonic booms heard across the region --An authorized military drill caused a loud 'explosion' sound in the Washington, D.C., area that shook houses and caused widespread panic --At around the same time, a plane crashed into the mountainous areas of Virginia --Social media users reported hearing a huge 'bang' in the city, with some saying it shook their homes | 4 June 2023 | A small plane that flew over a restricted area of Washington, D.C., likely prompted the Pentagon to scramble an interceptor fighter jet Sunday afternoon. The private Cessna jet from Elizabethton, Tennessee, appeared unresponsive as it came close to both the US Capitol building and the White House at around 3.30pm, Federal Aviation Administration officials say. The aircraft was on its way to Long Island, New York, but once it reached its destination, it turned around and headed back to Washington, D.C., flight paths show. A source familiar with the situation told Reuters it appeared to be on autopilot at the time. US military officials then scrambled fighter jets from Andrews Air Force Base, where Joe Biden was playing golf at the time, to pursue the Cessna Citation, which can only carry about 12 passengers. Soon, authorities confirmed that an F-16 fighter plane broke the sound barrier over Chesapeake Bay, which caused a loud "explosion" sound that shook houses and created widespread panic. The aircraft eventually crashed in the mountainous regions of Virginia, though military officials deny that the pursuit caused the crash.

Cohen, during a seminar series at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business in May 2022, answered a question about crisis management and about how health officials collaborated with different states in enacting COVID-19 restrictions during the pandemic. Cohen, a former North Carolina health secretary, said she communicated with the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts the most and described a conversation about whether to allow them to play professional football. "She was like, 'Are you gonna let them have professional football?' And I was like, no. And she's like, OK neither are we," Cohen said, before laughing about the interaction.

UK math teacher fired for misgendering after saying 'well done, girls' to female students --Sutcliffe was also accused [!] of showing a PragerU video to his class which featured a conservative commentator discussing masculinity | 3 June 2023 | The United Kingdom government has permanently banned a mathematics teacher from teaching after finding him "guilty" of "misgendering" a student and expressing Christian views in class, Fox News reports. Joshua Sutcliffe, 32, was found guilty of "unacceptable professional conduct" and "bringing the teaching profession into disrepute" following a review by the Department of Education's Teaching Regulation Agency ("TRA"). Sutcliffe said that the school administration placed him on leave after he congratulated two students, both biological females, for their exceptional work in solving a math problem in class. He recalled saying, "Well done, girls!" to the two students, but to his dismay, one of them reportedly does not identify as a female. "And that in her mind was a misgendering," Sutcliffe told Fox News... [Also,] Sutcliffe showed a PragerU video to his class which featured conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey discussing masculinity. He denies showing this video in class and said that he recommended it to students to watch at home on their own accord.

Bible removed from some Utah school district libraries 'due to vulgarity or violence' | 2 June 2023 | The King James Version of the Bible has been removed from many Davis School District schools after a committee found it contained "vulgarity and violence." A district review committee recently decided to pull the Bible from all schools other than at the high school level. According to a district spokesperson, the committee actually determined the book "does not contain sensitive material as defined by Utah Code," but still pulled it from certain schools because of age appropriateness. Back in March, FOX 13 News's content-sharing partners at the Salt Lake Tribune obtained a parent's petition, who wrote, "Utah Parents United left off one of the most sex-ridden books around: The Bible. You'll no doubt find that the Bible has 'no serious values for minors' because it’s pornographic by our new definition." According to a district spokesperson, the committee actually determined the book "does not contain sensitive material as defined by Utah Code," but still pulled it from certain schools because of age appropriateness.

U.S. military drone controlled by AI killed its operator during simulated test| 1 June 2023 | In a simulated test staged by the U.S. military, an air force drone controlled by AI killed its operator to prevent it from interfering with its efforts to achieve its mission, an official said last month. AI used "highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal" in the simulated test, said Col Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the U.S. Air Force, during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London in May. Hamilton described a simulated test in which a drone powered by artificial intelligence was advised to destroy enemy's air defense systems, and attacked anyone who interfered with that order. "The system started realising that while they did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective," he said, according to a blogpost.

Trump mocks Chris Christie's expected 2024 campaign launch: 'He's polling at zero' | 1 June 2023 | Former President Donald Trump took a not-so-subtle swing at former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday, mocking his expected entry into the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination by pointing to his dismal approval rating while governor. During a Fox News Town Hall in Iowa, the location of the first contest in the presidential primaries, Trump questioned why Republicans like Christie continued to jump into the already crowded field of candidates seeking to challenge his front-runner status. "I don't know why people are doing it. They're at one percent. Some are at zero," Trump told Fox News's Sean Hannity. "I hear Chris Christie's coming in. He's at -- he was at 6% in New Jersey, which is -- I love New Jersey, but 6% approval rating in New Jersey. What's the purpose? And he's polling at zero."

U.S. Javelin missile given to Ukraine lands in Gulf Cartel militant's arsenal --Over the past year, more than 10,000 Javelin missiles have been sent to Ukraine from U.S. military stockpiles | 1 June 2023 | A video captured in the state of Tamaulipas in Mexico revealed a militant associated with the infamous Gulf Cartel (Cartel Del Golfo, CDG) donning their insignia while carrying a U.S.-manufactured anti-tank missile launcher that were recently given to Ukraine. The weapon, identified by Milenio TV as a Raytheon-made FGM-148, is believed to be a Javelin missile launcher, which has been supplied to Ukraine by the Pentagon in large quantities. The footage, filmed in Matamoros and broadcasted by Milenio TV on Tuesday, displayed the individual adorned with CDG patches, armed with a Kalashnikov rifle, and carrying the aforementioned missile launcher. Over the past year, more than 10,000 Javelin missiles have been sent to Ukraine from U.S. military stockpiles, resulting in dwindling supplies for the U.S. armed forces themselves.

James Comer: FBI Confirms Existence of File Allegedly Linking Joe Biden to $5M Bribery Scheme | 31 May 2023 | The FBI confirmed the existence of an informant file the bureau refuses to provide Congress that allegedly links Joe Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme, a confirmation the Justice Department previously did not deny, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Wednesday. Comer and FBI Director Christopher Wray conducted a scheduled meeting Wednesday in which the bureau chief confirmed the file’s existence. The file allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President [sic] Biden and a foreign national. But Comer said the FBI still refuses to provide the subpoenaed, unclassified file to Congress, triggering Comer to double down on his threat to hold Wray in contempt of Congress. Instead, the FBI reportedly said Comer could view the document at the FBI's headquarters.

Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., who voted with all 49 Republicans to scrap the loan bailout. The Senate vote followed last week's 218-203 vote in the House to kill the program that Republicans have said is unfair to Americans who either never took out student loans or paid them off.

The Django Unchained star is said to be "partially paralyzed and blind," in addition to a series of other complications after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, Hollywood journalist A.J. Benza claimed after speaking to a source close to Foxx. "Jamie had a blood clot in his brain after he got the shot. He did not want the shot, but the movie he was on, he was pressured to get it," confessed the podcaster, who formally worked as a columnist for the New York Daily News and as a host of the E! series Mysteries and Scandals, during an appearance on Dr. Drew Pinsky's online show Ask Dr. Drew. "The blood clot in the brain caused him at that point to be partially paralyzed and blind," Benza alleged, as he insisted his insider was "someone in the room" with first-hand knowledge of Foxx’s hospitalization.

"There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands." The stumble comes just weeks after Biden stumbled while visiting the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, Japan.

Insane in the membrane: Nearly 200,000 cows may have to be culled to meet emissions target by 2025 | 30 May 2023 | (Ireland) Up to 65,000 dairy cows may have to be culled each year for three years if climate targets for the farming sector are to be met. Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue has previously floated the idea of a voluntary dairy reduction scheme, with farmers compensated for reducing their herds. Now figures obtained by the Farming Independent show almost 200,000 cows may have to be culled to meet the emissions target by 2025, which would cost around €600 million.

Republicans supported the bill by a 149-71 margin, and Democrats supported it 165-46. Democrats took credit for helping get the bill across the finish line. Earlier in the day, 52 Democrats made the rare move of voting with Republicans in a procedural vote to keep the bill alive.

"I'm going to make a request, and it is a large one. I'd like to apply for citizenship in Russia from the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin," the ex-aide stated, promising to be "a good citizen."

Republicans Cry Foul: Biden's DOJ Targets West Virginia Governor's Family After He Launches U.S. Senate Campaign Against Democrat | 31 May 2023 | Republicans are crying foul following the news of Joe Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) targeting West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice's (R) family. Justice, who is also a GOP Senate candidate hoping to unseat Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), is the latest to experience political targeting from Biden's DOJ, as it has filed a civil complaint against his family's coal empire -- over a dozen coal businesses ran or owned by his son Jay Justice -- citing "repeated violations of the law" in hopes of recovering what the assistant attorney general of the DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division Todd Kim described as "penalties they owe as a result of those violations." The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was among the first to accuse the Biden DOJ of sheer abuse of power, connecting the announcement to Justice's recent candidacy for Senate. "Joe Biden's Department of Justice has gone totally rogue. Democrats weaponizing the federal government to attack the family of a Republican Senate candidate is a complete abuse of power," NRSC spokesman Tate Mitchell stated.

Comedians paid by CDC to shill for vaccines dropping dead all around the globe | 30 May 2023 | In less than one year, 27 comedians around the world have "died suddenly." Not a single report mentioned that every single one of them was likely injected with millions of toxic spike proteins that are known to cause sudden "unexplainable" cardiac arrest or stroke. Eleven of them were Americans, and several died right on stage, after pushing for other people to run out and get the COVID-19 clot shots, which are known to cause fatal vascular clots, invade the cleansing organs and trigger hyper-immune reactions that wind up sending these joke-telling vaccine pushers six feet under. Although several billion humans have been vaccinated for COVID-19 at least once, if not a few times, only a handful of autopsies of those who "died suddenly" afterward have been performed... It's happening to military members, athletes, pilots, and now joke tellers, who, ironically, get paid by the vaccine pushers to push propaganda and insult those who avoid the clot shots like the plague.

Wray offer to see Biden bribery allegation file not enough, Comer says | 31 May 2023 | House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said no deal Wednesday after FBI Director Christopher Wray offered to let him privately review an informant file alleging Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme, while vice president. A source familiar with Wray's early afternoon call with Comer (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told The Post that the FBI chief confirmed the existence of an FD-1023 informant file from June 2020 accusing Biden of corruption and offered Comer and committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) "in camera review" of the document. The FBI had refused to share the document following a legally binding May 3 subpoena from Comer, which the chairman said Tuesday he would enforce with contempt proceedings against Wray. In a statement following the call, Comer indicated the document standoff would continue. "Today, FBI Director Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national. However, Director Wray did not commit to producing the documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee."

U.S. 'encourages' Ukraine to attack Russia - ambassador --The West is backing "terrorists" in Kiev, Moscow's envoy to Washington has said | 31 May 2023 | The U.S. has been inciting Ukraine to strike Russian territory, despite claiming the opposite, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said on Wednesday. Antonov argued that Washington's statements in response to the recent drone raid on the Russian capital "sound like an encouragement for Ukrainian terrorists." "Doesn't the [U.S.] administration understand that no one believes their slogans about non-support of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory?!" the diplomat said, according to a statement on the embassy's Telegram channel. Antonov's remarks came after a White House spokesperson told reporters "as [a] general matter, we do not support attacks inside of Russia." The goal of the drone attack was to "sow fear among Russians" and undermine trust in the authorities, he said.

Putin confirms strike on Ukrainian military intelligence HQ --Kiev's continuing attacks on Russian soil are aimed at provoking a "mirror response" from Moscow, the president has said | 30 May 2023 | Russia has targeted the headquarters of the Ukrainian military's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) in Kiev, President Vladimir Putin confirmed on Tuesday. "We've been talking about the possibility of striking the 'decision-making centers.' Naturally, Ukraine's military intelligence headquarters falls into such a category, and it was hit two or three days ago," Putin stated. The Russian president also acknowledged a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, which occurred earlier in the day. The main goal of such strikes is attempting to "intimidate" Russian citizens, which is a "clear sign" of "terrorist activity" on Kiev's part, he said. Unlike Ukraine, which has been targeting "residential buildings" in Russia, Moscow is striking only military targets, such as ammunition dumps or fuel depots, with "high-precision" weaponry, he added.

Comer, R-Ky., has subpoenaed the FBI for a document that allegedly describes a criminal scheme involving Biden and a foreign national and relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. The document is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form.
