A huge piece of space junk from a spacecraft flown by Elon Musk's SpaceX has torpedoed into a farmer's property in the Snowy Mountains in NSW.
The three-metre object - a piece of a SpaceX Crew-1 craft - was discovered speared into the ground on a property south of Jindabyne, after farmer Mick Miners went to investigate a loud bang that was heard by his daughters. (Video) Australian National University space expert Brad Tucker told radio host Ben Fordham he was called out to investigate the discovery.
'This is most definitely space junk which was part of the SpaceX Crew-1 trunk,'
Nineteen people were shot Friday into Saturday night across Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reports that the first fatal shooting occurred at 1:10 a.m., when a 31-year-old man was shot in the head while sitting at a red light “in the 2000 block of West 87th Street.”
The 31-year-old was taken to a hospital where he died.
The second fatal shooting occurred less at 1:40 a.m. Saturday morning, when a man standing on the sidewalk “in the 1800 block of North Milwaukee Avenue” was shot in the chest.
The man was transported to a hospital where he died.
President Trump responded to an article on Breitbart about a fake poll in Missouri.
Breitbart reported earlier today on a poll taken in Missouri where the polling party reportedly deliberately undercounted President Trump’s support in the state:
Several Republican strategists told Breitbart News on Sunday that a Missouri poll commissioned by campaign operatives associated with Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s U.S. Senate campaign deliberately undercounts former President Donald Trump’s support in an effort to boost Schmitt in the final days of the race.
President Trump destroyed quadruple vaxxed Joe Biden after Biden was recently diagnosed a second time with COVID.
Yesterday TGP reported that Joe Biden had COVID – again.(Tweet) But Joe was wrong again — a new report finds up to 40% of patients given Pfizer’s Paxlovid come down with COVID reinfection.
Oops.
According to the White House physician, Joe Biden isn’t feeling any new symptoms and “continues to feel quite well.”
Donald Trump shared a joke with Fox News star Tucker Carlson during the Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament at his Bedminster golf club Sunday.
The former president, 76, and the TV star who recently insisted he'd never run for president were all-smiles as they were joined by Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to watch the action unfold at the Trump National Golf Club.
LIV arrived at Trump's club on July 29, sparking controversy from some 9/11 victims who say the Saudi-backed tournament should not be welcomed on US shores.
The former president sparked outrage by saying there was no proof Saudi was linked to the September 2001 atrocity in New York City -
We’ve been keeping an eye on Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary race in Wyoming, and it hasn’t been looking good for her for some time now.
As we reported, she’s been trailing her Trump-endorsed primary opponent Harriet Hageman, at different points, by up to 30 points. Another poll in June found that 73 percent of Republicans in Wyoming viewed her unfavorably. On top of ignoring Republicans, she’s even begging Democrats to cross over and vote for her. That’s not going over well with Republicans.
But Cheney has some kind of delusional belief that not only will she win but that she might even have a chance at the presidential run in 2024.
Scott Nadeau worried something like this could happen. Two Fridays ago, when his 24-year-old son Jack said he planned to meet friends at the Gay 90s nightclub, Nadeau cautioned him to be vigilant. The retired suburban police chief had seen reports of violence in downtown Minneapolis, and he feared the city's dwindling police staffing levels are exacerbating lawlessness. The next day, Nadeau sat in the emergency room with Jack, who had a fractured skull.(Snip)Some downtown business owners say they worry the brazenness of the crime threatens a much-needed return for the downtown economy, still recovering from pandemic depression.
In 100 days, the American people will be able to cast their first vote against Joe Biden’s failed presidency. Biden is asleep at the wheel and, coupled with Democrats’ disastrous leadership of the House and Senate, gas prices have reached record highs, the cost of food and everyday household goods has skyrocketed, illegal immigrants and deadly drugs are pouring across our open southern border, and crime is surging across the country.
All economic indicators point to our nation being in a recession. However, you won’t hear this from Biden or his spin doctors in the White House because they have no plan
A couple with ties to a firm that’s been awarded hundreds of millions in Medicaid transportation contracts over the years has driven more than $300,000 combined into the campaign coffers of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and current Gov. Kathy Hochul, records reviewed by The Post reveal. Critics say the donations are a textbook case of Albany’s pay-to-play culture that allows bidders and contractors to give massive campaign contributions to the governor whose agencies oversee them. By comparison, New York City law limits donations from bidders and contractors to the mayor and have business Big Apple agencies to $400. The firm, Medical Answering Services, founded by president Russ Maxwell
Former President Donald Trump-backed candidates Kari Lake, running for governor, and Blake Masters, running for U.S. Senate, have taken commanding leads in the polls just days before Arizona’s primaries.
The OH Predictive poll conducted on July 27 found that the GOP likely voters supported the Trump-backed candidates for office over the rest of the candidates’ respective fields.
Among the 502 respondents, Lake, a former local Fox 10 news anchor, held a double-digit lead, with 51 percent saying they would vote for her. The next closest competitor was Karrin Taylor Robson, with 33 percent of the vote.
Anyone else remember the Trump administration? Record setting economy, world peace, secure borders, energy independence; yea, a very good time.
Well, Brandon did his best (worst) to dismantle all of President Trumps good work as quickly as he could, and boy howdy did he do a bang-up job!
Remember the first days of sleepy Joe’s tenure? Cancelling the Keystone pipeline, cancelling new drilling leases in Anwar, abandoning border wall construction and putting thousands out of work, even though the materials were already at location.
California is battling its worst wildfire this year with more than 51,000 acres burned and evacuations mounting.

Donald Trump was spotted signing autographs for fans and chatting with golfers at his Bedminster, New Jersey club on Sunday for the third day of a controversial Saudi-backed tournament.
The ex-president had agreed to host the LIV golf tournament on one of his properties for an undisclosed sum.
Earlier on Sunday he took to his social media app Truth Social to troll President Joe Biden for his COVID-19 re-diagnosis.
The president tested positive on Saturday after testing negative four days in a row, though he's no longer showing symptoms
We The People AZ Alliance hosted an election security forum in Maricopa County on Saturday, featuring testimony from expert witnesses and state legislators.
This informational hearing, moderated by investigative journalist Lara Logan, presented evidence of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election and addressed the concerns in the 2022 elections.
The hearing also featured a bombshell testimony revealing exactly who in Maricopa County deleted subpoenaed 2020 Election files before delivery to Arizona Senate auditors.
Bill Russell, the cornerstone of the Boston Celtics dynasty that captured 11 NBA championships in 13 years — including 8 in a row — died peacefully in his home on Sunday with his wife at his side. He was 88.
Beginning in 1956 at the University of San Francisco, Russell had the most incredible career of anyone in any team sport. During the next 15 years, he would win two NCAA championships, an Olympic gold medal, be named to 12 NBA all-star teams, and win 11 professional championships.
One eye-popping statistic speaks to who Bill Russell was: In 30 elimination games at the college, pro, and Olympic levels,
A comprehensive study by Harvard University of the motivations of those who participated in the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol found that only 8% wanted to start an insurrection or civil war — contrary to claims by the January 6 Committee.
The Harvard Crimson reported last week:
In the most comprehensive study to date of what motivated the Trump supporters to attack the Capitol, Shorenstein Center researchers found that 20.6 percent of the rioters, a plurality, were motivated to take part in the riot because they supported Trump.
Is the Democrat Party on the rebound heading into November’s mid-term elections? If the latest CBS News poll is any indication, the answer is a resounding “no.” Despite proclamations that Joe Biden is “back in the game” and that the left is enjoying a bump following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the survey provides red flag after red flag for Democrats. And while the CBS News shows have spent Sunday morning trying their hardest to spin the findings by focusing heavily on female opposition to Republicans over abortion, even that “good news” for Democrats is tempered by a lack of enthusiasm.
Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Nyota Uhura on the original "Star Trek," has died at the age of 89, her son Kyle Johnson announced on her official Facebook page. "Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away," Johnson's statement read. "Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration. Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all."
It seemed obvious that Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate was a bad idea. Of all the Black Women™ he could have chosen, how he landed on her is a question for the ages. Unless, of course, someone figured they needed someone so awful that she would make Joe Biden look better by comparison.
I suppose that’s it.
The Biden-Harris White House has had over 30 senior staffers jump ship — many from Kamala’s office. The latest is Michael Collins, Harris’s director of public engagement; he follows senior aides Meghan Groob and Rohini Kosoglu, who departed a few weeks prior. Groob was Kamala’s director of speechwriting; it’s
Senator Ron Johnson on Sunday accused the FBI of major bias over whistleblower claims that the bureau suppressed negative information about Hunter Biden.
The Wisconsin Republican told Fox & Friends that he has 'no faith' in FBI Director Christopher Wray, who was appointed by Donald Trump, to oversee anything related to President Joe Biden's son.
Meanwhile the Justice Department is currently pursuing an unrelated tax investigation into Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings.
Earlier this week, Johnson wrote a letter to Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland and other Justice Department officials on Tuesday claiming to have received whistleblower allegations

Disgraced former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is adapting to life after being fired by the network as his professional and personal scandals piled up and has now resurfaced with a new podcast, although he may have already alienated a sizable portion of his potential audience with remarks about the January 6 committee.
On the latest edition of “The Chris Cuomo Project,” which is the first major component of his career relaunch, Cuomo critiqued the Nancy Pelosi-Liz Cheney joint venture that has failed in a big way to captivate the public and has taken a summer break to resume with a modified mission that – at least according to committee member
One of Ukraine’s richest and most prominent businessmen was killed in what Kyiv said was a targeted Russian bombardment on his home.
Grain exporter Oleksiy Vadaturksy, 74, and his wife Raisa died after a missile slammed into their home in the southern city of Mykolaiv Saturday night, according to the BBC.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has hit multiple election integrity milestones with 100 days left before midterm election night when millions of voters will go to the polls, Breitbart News has learned.
The RNC, the central committee for the Republican Party responsible for various actions such as fundraising and election strategy, has continued its multi-million-dollar investment into election integrity for the midterm elections.
These investments include 17 state election integrity directors and 28 in-state election integrity councils, who have recruited tens of thousands of poll watchers and workers in battleground states across the country.
Joe Manchin went to bat for his reconciliation bill Sunday by doing something called the 'full Ginsburg' – meaning he went on all five major networks' morning shows over the weekend.
The moderate Democratic senator from West Virginia appeared on CNN's State of the Union, Fox News Sunday, ABC's This Week program, CBS News' Face the Nation and NBC's Meet the Press. He is only the 31st major newsmaker to complete this feat.

Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has stated he is open to Italy being led by populist firebrand Giorgia Meloni, known for her fierce anti-communist rhetoric and socially conservative stances on abortion and gay marriage.(Snip)Last year, for example, Meloni spoke out about the LGBT bill known as the Zan bill, claiming that leftists use LGBT people as “human shields” to push an agenda including the teaching of gender ideology to children and the criminalisation of conservative opinions. The 44-year-old is also opposed to abortion in practice, does not support same-sex marriage, and opposes mass immigration. Meloni and the FdI are also perhaps the most outspokenly
The Biden administration’s attempt to track down catch-and-release illegal immigrants and serve them with court summonses turned into a “complete waste of time,” according to officers who say they were pulled off higher priority cases to chase down “ghosts.” Out of a universe of more than 30,000 potential targets, officers were able to locate and serve only about 600, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources. That means tens of thousands of illegal border crossers remain at large in the country without an official Notice to Appear for their immigration proceedings—and there are no good prospects for tracking them down.

The federal government’s refusal to recognize the costs of legal migration is a “boomer approach” to immigration policy, said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). The immigration problem “is not just the illegal immigration,” Gaetz told Breitbart News: It’s the legal immigration where you now have a system where we tell these young people go get your STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] degree, go learn how to code [software], and then they do that—they accrue massive amounts of college debt—and then we bring in somebody from India who is able to do the job for $50,000 or $60,000 bucks a year on some work visa.
Nashville, Tenn.— Country Music Hall of Famer and Grammy winner Barbara Mandrell retired from music more than two decades ago, but the Grand Ole Opry still feels like home to her.
Mandrell, 73, made a rare public appearance on Saturday night at the Opry to celebrate her 50th anniversary of being an Opry member.
“Here we are at home again,” Mandrell told The Associated Press in an interview backstage at the Opry House before the long-running radio and TV program. “50 years. Not everybody gets that blessing.”
Born in Texas and raised in California, Mandrell was just 23 when she became a member in July of 1972.
In retaliation for a series of setbacks in the European courts, the fundamentalist Iranian regime has been accused of instigating terrorist threats to attack an annual rally of anti-regime dissidents and their supporters in Albania, leading to the postponement of the event on security grounds.
The rally was scheduled to take place over the weekend of 23 and 24 July in Ashraf 3, headquarters of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran/ Mojahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK). In January 2020 Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama expelled the Iranian ambassador and his first secretary for planning a terrorist bomb attack on the PMOI/MEK.

Capitol on January 6 replies
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is arguing the founder and members of the Oath Keepers militia group who entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6 cannot blame former President Donald Trump for their actions.
DOJ lawyers argued Trump lacked the authority to authorize an attack on the Capitol, which should prevent Oath Keepers’ lawyers from blaming the former President.
The United States said in a filing:
President Trump did not have the authority to permit or authorize a conspiracy to forcibly oppose the authority of the government or the execution of the laws of the United States, nor could he have lawfully sanctioned the attack

When your business involves gaining personal wealth by selling out America,
Washington D.C. is enemy-occupied territory – It is time to take America back. The accumulation of excessive power has made the federal government a self-serving and self-preserving entity unaccountable to the American people and operating outside of constitutional constraints. The U.S. government has become a corrupt one-party state, composed of mutually supportive Democrat and Republican politicians, administered by a permanent dictatorial bureaucracy, all controlled by transnational interests, who plunder American assets for personal power and profit, while attempting to maintain the illusion of democracy.

Two retired U.S. generals, MG Paul Vallely, U.S. Army, and Thomas McInerney, USAF, raised concerns over the World Health Organization’s recent declaration of monkeypox as a global health emergency, alleging potential ulterior motives.

Former President Donald Trump suggested that the proposed prisoner swap between Russia and the United States that would return jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner in exchange for a Russian arms dealer “doesn’t seem like a very good trade.”

In Genesis, Adam names all the creatures of the earth. “God formed out of the earth all the wild beasts and all the birds of the sky and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that would be its name.” There are lots of explanations for why this is significant, depending on your theological viewpoint. To me naming things is not insignificant in everyday life. How you call something shapes the meaning in your mind and manipulates your point of view.

While much of the political news out of Washington, D.C., these days is focused on the upcoming midterm elections and speculation about the 2024 presidential election (along with the never-ending disaster of the Biden presidency, of course), there’s another campaign going on, which is undoubtedly filled with more behind-the-scenes intrigue than anything else on Capitol Hill — the replacement of Nancy Pelosi.
A shadow campaign to lead House Democrats next year has been underway for months, as reported by The Washington Post in January, as speculation continues to grow over whether 82-year-old — and like Biden, mentally unfit —Pelosi will finally honor her word and step down as House Speaker.
The United States Department of Agriculture says the cattle market has shrunk to an extent that hasn’t been seen in years. According to the latest cattle report, “of the 91.9 million head inventory, all cows and heifers that have calved totaled 39.5 million.”

I have an embarrassing confession to make: I once, sort of, respected Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always known he’s a flakey Democrat, and though it’s been fun to entertain him possibly switching parties and causing a meltdown on the left, those hopes were always far-fetched. Still, his stance over the last year against a boondoggle, green scam-filled reconciliation bill was laudable. Even in the face of intense pressure, including personal harassment and threats, Manchin stood firm – until he didn’t.
In a sudden reversal, Manchin stabbed Republicans in the back. Despite assurances that if the GOP voted for the CHIPS Act
You might have noticed in the last couple of weeks that there’s been a concerted effort to portray the political landscape in the best possible light for Democrats. Things really aren’t that bad. Or are they?
