911 Services Across Massachusetts Down For Several Hours After System Crashes – Authorities Won’t Say Why By Cristina Laila
Jun. 18, 2024 5:40 pm – 911 emergency services across Massachusetts were down for several hours on Tuesday after the system crashed.
Residents could not reach emergency services amid a sweltering heat wave. Temperatures soared to the upper 90s with the heat index on Tuesday.
“9-11 is currently down statewide,” Boston police said in a statement. “If you are experiencing an emergency please pull a Fire Box.”
The public was able to resume 911 calls at 3:43 pm after the system was down for a few hours.
“The 911 system across Massachusetts was restored Tuesday after going down for several hours, which made it impossible for anyone to reach emergency services through the call number.” the AP reported.
Authorities won’t say why the 911 system crashed.
Report: Israel Upgrades Nuclear Capabilities as Regional Tensions Rise
June 18, 2024 JBN News – A new report has shed light on Israel’s nuclear capabilities even as it maintains a policy of ambiguity.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Israel has begun upgrading facilities at its Dimona nuclear site. The Jewish State allegedly holds as many as 90 active nuclear warheads, with 30 ready for aircraft delivery and the rest to boost its ballistic missile arsenal.
SIPRI also believes Israel may be augmenting the range of its nuclear capabilities by upgrading missiles from its mysterious Jericho defense program. Israel’s diesel submarine fleet could also soon be transformed into an undersea nuclear triad.
Israel’s alleged move should come as no surprise given that eight nuclear-armed states have recently prioritized modernizing their nuclear forces. In the US and Russia, the largest nuclear powers, there has been emphasis on not just upgrading warhead numbers but also tactical systems like cruise missiles.
Analysts argue that Israel’s suspected nuclear advancements illuminate the catastrophic failure of the Biden administration’s strategy of appeasing Iran’s apocalyptic regime. By obsessively clinging to his former boss’s failed 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal, the White House has boxed itself into empowering the very threat it claims to be containing.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium has ballooned to over 30 times the agreed-upon limit in the deeply flawed nuclear deal. As of mid-May, Iran possessed 142.1 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% purity. If Iran were to further enrich its existing nuclear material, it would be sufficient to produce two nuclear weapons.

Biden’s Secret Weapon for November Brigitte Gabriel
Every Patriot Must Know!
JUN 18, 2024 ACT FOR AMERICA – Biden’s secret weapon for November: using federal agencies to ‘get out the vote’ FOR HIM Tarren Bragdon | NY Post | 4-28-24 | Condensed
Joe Biden has an ace up his sleeve.
Without a doubt, the president is the weakest incumbent in modern history. No matter: He’s using the strength of the federal government to register and mobilize voters who are likely to support his re-election.
It’s an unprecedented effort, unwittingly funded by taxpayers, and it may even overcome the factors that could otherwise doom Biden’s electoral prospects, from his extreme age to his disastrous policies.
Biden began building this whole-of-government campaign almost immediately after taking office.
In March 2021, he issued an executive order, entitled “Promoting Access to Voting,” that directed every federal agency to “expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote” and “participate” in “the electoral process.” Yet such actions are inherently political and have long been understood to be inappropriate if not illegal.
A partisan president could unfairly use taxpayer resources to influence voters and tip electoral scales in his favor by urging only those likely to back him to vote. That’s exactly what’s happening.
In a February meeting with left-wing groups, Vice President Kamala Harris announced a slew of actions from federal agencies.
The Department of Health and Human Services is sending voter registration information to every enrollee in Healthcare.gov. That’s more than 21 million people who may be more likely to vote for Biden after he expanded taxpayer subsidies.
The Social Security Administration is posting voter-registration signs in the lobbies of its 1,200-plus offices nationwide, targeting seniors after Biden’s repeated warnings that the safety net is under threat.
The Department of the Interior is doing the same at visitor centers and entrances for national parks and wildlife refuges, as well as other federal public lands. As Harris noted, “these sites received more than 500 million visits last year” — a rich source of potential votes for Biden-Harris.
The vice president separately announced that, under the federal work-study program, college students can now get paid to register voters.
That followed the Department of Education’s February guidance that the program could even fund “get-out-the-vote activities.” The department has also launched a “toolkit” to help colleges and universities get students to vote, many of whom no doubt appreciate the president’s student-loan cancellation.
At the high-school level, the Education Department has developed “strategies” to remind millions of students — many newly eligible to vote — about their “civic opportunities and responsibilities.” At both the high-school and college levels, these activities play to a predominantly liberal crowd.
The Department of Agriculture is pushing states to include voter registration information, including a “quick guide to voting,” in child-nutrition programs — some of which the Biden administration has expanded.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has promised to work with more than 3,000 public housing authorities to register voters, potentially reaching up to 1.2 million housing units. HUD is also working to expand voting among homeless people (a well-known resource for voter fraud). The Indian Health Service is doing something similar with its patients.
By contrast, you’re not likely to see “remember to vote” flyers from the government at, say, gun shows, school-choice or pro-life meetings.
What’s publicly known is concerning, yet taxpayers should worry that more remains hidden.
Camp Intifada: Hamas Terror group launches pro-‘Palestinian resistance’ youth camp that glorifies Hamas terrorism and Jew-hatred at Canadian University By Geller Report Staff
June 17, 2024 – When Canadians protested PM Justin Trudeau’s COVID-19 mandates, he had them arrested and froze their bank accounts. But an anti-Semitic hate group that launches a ‘youth summer program’ at an elite Montreal university, to glorify Hamas terrorism and to incite hatred of Jews, is not a problem for PM Trudeau. Canada’s next federal election is October of 2025. If PM Trudeau is once again re-elected then Canada is finished. If it isn’t already.
RIGGING 2024: Biden Regime’s MASS AMNESTY is a Mass ILLEGAL VOTER Scheme By Pamela Geller
June 17, 2024 – Illegal immigrants allowed in by President Biden’s border chaos are showing up at government offices to sign up for benefits and services, and when they do they’re being prodded to sign up to vote. Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.
The Democrats stole 2020 right before our eyes. The Republicans did nothing. They ignored it. For years. And all of the lawsuits . And the voter rolls are as bad as they ever were. They jumped on the January 6 wagon while our people went to jail. All of the emergency voting exceptions should’ve ended when the Covid emergency ended i.e. mail in voting. In many places early voting begins in September. It’s madness.
Lara Trump and Michael Whatley are well intended. But it is much bigger than them.
There are countless pressing issues. But none as important as election reform. Because without free and fair elections, it’s over.

Sinwar humiliates Blinken & Biden and reveals hideous Hamas strategy
June 16, 2024, 6:55 p.m. ET New York Post – “It was a deal that Israel accepted and the world was behind. Hamas could have answered with a single word: ‘Yes,’” Secretary of State Antony Blinken fumed to reporters in Doha last week — exposing himself as either an utter cynic or a total fool.
Hamas doesn’t want a deal, except one where Israel just gives up.
And if Blinken doesn’t know that, then he’s not getting the basic info he should, not from US intelligence nor even from whoever’s in charge of getting him essential press clippings.
Two days before Blinken chastised Hamas, The Wall Street Journal revealed private correspondence of the terror group’s military chief in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.
Sinwar admits openly that he wants more Palestinian casualties. They are “necessary sacrifices” that will “infuse life into the veins of this nation, prompting it to rise to its glory and honor.”
Hateful pro-Hamas protests create another antisemitic Charlottesville rally every day By Rich Lowry
June 16, 2024, 8:39 a.m. ET – Every day is a Charlottesville now, but hardly anyone notices.
The small central Virginia city is a metonymy for the 2017 white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally that created national shock waves and rocked the presidency of Donald J. Trump.
The antisemitic rhetoric and menacing nature of that event — in a different, left-wing form — are being replicated all over the country in openly hateful pro-Hamas protests.
Outside the White House last weekend, anti-Israel protesters wore terrorist headbands; chanted for Hamas and Hezbollah to “kill another solider now” and “kill another Zionist now”; held up signs urging another “intifada,” or intense period of terrorist attacks on the Jewish state, and vandalized statues.
A few days later, a mob showed up outside a New York City exhibit memorializing the Oct. 7 terror attack on the Nova music festival.
They waved Hezbollah and Hamas flags and held up banners saying, “Long live October 7th,” and “The Zionists are not Jews and not humans.”
In a subway car, members of the mob demanded to know if there were any “Zionists” present, offering them a “chance to get out.”
Meanwhile, at UCLA, a mob set up an encampment and assaulted an independent journalist and rabbi, who was told that he is a pedophile and that he should go back to Poland or Ukraine.
And on it goes.
At California State University Los Angeles, a rabble vandalized an administration building and barricaded the school’s president inside.
In New York City, the townhouse of the Jewish president of the Brooklyn Museum was splashed with red paint and emblazoned with an upside-down red triangle, another Hamas symbol.
The Unite the Right rally featured brawls between the white nationalists and counter-protesters, and a homicide when one enraged member of the alt-right rammed into counter-demonstrators with his car.
Study finds: People worldwide are disconnecting from the news Nisan Tsur
A new study shows that 39% of people worldwide avoid the news, an increase of 10% since 2017. Significant decrease in the number of people stating: ‘Very or extremely interested in the news.’ And how many believe the news?
Jun 17, 2024, 1:36 PM (GMT+3) – People worldwide claim that they do not want to hear “depressing, relentless, and boring” news.
A new study by YouGov for Reuters Institute at Oxford University, shows that 39% of people worldwide “often avoid hearing the news,” a 10 percent increase compared to a similar study conducted in 2017, when only 29 percent said they avoid the news.
In response to the question, “How interested are you in the news?” 46 percent answered that they are “very interested in the news,” compared to 63 percent who gave this answer in the 2017 study.
The authors of the report claim that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, along with the COVID-19 pandemic and other natural disasters, have led to a significant drop in the number of people interested in hearing the news. “The news agenda has of course been particularly difficult in recent years. There was the COVID-19 pandemic and the wars, so it’s a pretty natural reaction for people to stay away from the news, whether it’s to protect their mental health or just to want to go on with their lives as normal.
The people who avoid hearing the news are the ones who feel they have no control over major events happening in the world. Some feel increasingly overwhelmed and confused by the mass of news around them, while others feel tired of politics,” Nick Newman, another of the authors of the new study, told BBC.
According to the study, women and youngsters are the ones who avoided the news more than men and older people.
And how much do people believe the news itself? 40 percent of the survey participants said that “they believe the news,” a figure that remained stable in comparison to the previous study. The survey included 94,943 people from 47 countries around the world and was held in January and February 2024.

America INVADED: in grave danger, imminent DR. PAUL ALEXANDER
Obama & Biden have INVADED USA with illegals that among them, while the Latino brings many murderers & rapists & feral animals, there are islamic jihadist
radical extremists hell bent on raping and killing Americans.
JUN 16, 2024 – The radical islamic follower is dressing Latino, shaving beards, complete as if Latino, even the radical Chinese radicals. Obama (as he runs Biden’s administration, his 3rd term) and Biden have set America on a path of sheer terror for Bataclan France 2015 was brought here; Canada faces same.
Obama and Biden have INVADED America! In our faces.
I say it how I understand it. Ensure your daughters know how to defend themselves from the islamic feral 6th century medieval barbaric sub-human beast. Understand the 2nd and when to use to defend life that is under threat. Learn to defend yourself from the feral 6th century beast.
You take this threat as a joke? Unreal? Overblown?
Well, Obama and Biden are now in the realm of treason to the US for we have many instances, but I will remind you of one that is recent. 8 (eight) Tajik persons, males, military aged, who came in illegally due to Obama and Biden, crossed at the Southern Border, and were vetted (a stunning aspect of this) and now arrested (New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles) as have links to ISIS. Talking of ‘bombs’. They were on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force radar. I thank the FBI here and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But shockingly, their criminal backgrounds checks came back clean when they crossed illegally. This is very serious. The vetting is hugely sub-optimal and dangerous.
Do you understand that? It is real and HERE.
So while Biden soils his pants on world stages now, we have the results of this invasion of America bubbling. They are plotting now to kill.
Understand that the threat is real, it is here, law enforcement knows about it, and I tip my hat to them for they know what is coming and I know that they do all they can daily to keep us safe.
Obama (in his 8 years) and now Biden have lit the funeral pyres of Americans, and no sane nation does this. Millions of unvetted animals with millions of ‘got-aways’. We do not know where they are or their names now. They ‘got-away’. Border services told us this. Many are hard core terrorists who came to rape and kill.
Be warned. Many will die due to Obama and Biden deliberate flooding of US with people who will rape and kill Americans and why? Why would they do this? Is it that democrats hate America? This election is about one thing, well two, the borders and the cost of living, inflation. If we do not close the border and mass deport, America is finished.
House Intel Committee Chair Says US is at ‘Highest Level of a Possible Terrorist Threat’ (VIDEO) By Cassandra Macdonald
Jun. 16, 2024 11:40 am – Republican House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner has warned that the United States has hit its “highest level of a possible terrorist threat.”
Turner gave a dire warning on Sunday’s episode of Face the Nation.
Host Margaret Brennan asked Turner about the eight Tajik nationals who were arrested in the United States last week and were found to have ties to ISIS. All of them had entered through Biden’s open southern border.
Brennan asked if there had been an “active terror plot,” but Turner said that he could not confirm the details of the arrests.
“But what’s important about these reports and what we’re seeing, especially in conjunction with Director [Christopher] Wray’s public statements, that we are at the highest level of a possible terrorist threat, that the administration’s policies have absolutely directly related to threats to Americans,” Turner said.
The congressman added that the threat is “no longer speculative” and “no longer hypothetical.”
“We have actual administration officials stepping forward and certainly our committee and our committee members have concurred on the intelligence that we’re seeing. That as a result of the administration’s policies allowing people to cross the border unvetted, we have terrorists that are actively working with inside the United States that are a threat to Americans,” he said.
FBI Director Christopher Wray told a Senate committee earlier this month that the U.S. has seen “threats from foreign terrorists rise to a whole ‘nother level after October 7.”
Biden commits U.S. taxpayers to 10 years of ‘blank check’ funding of war in Ukraine: War’s ‘dark side’ includes organ harvesting and child sex trafficking [VIDEOS] By Leo Hohmann
Jun. 16, 2024 9:45 am – Biden commits U.S. taxpayers to 10 years of ‘blank check’ funding of war in Ukraine: War’s ‘dark side’ includes organ harvesting and child sex trafficking
Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky are planning to sign a deal for long-term US military assistance for Ukraine, a country whose government we now know is involved in the trafficking of children for sex and harvesting the organs of its own soldiers for profit.
If that sounds too sensational to be true, read on. The evidence is hiding in plain sight. See post below from X, and I will provide a video later in this article that contains more proof of what’s really going on in Ukraine. It will turn your stomach.
But back to Biden’s filthy deal with the devil. The deal commits U.S. taxpayers — we the people — to 10 years of arming and training the Ukrainian military, and feeds the military-industrial complex that holds sway over the majority of our elected members of Congress in both parties.
There is one small kernel of good news: Because the deal is a so-called “executive agreement” and not a formal treaty, it can be undone by future American presidents.
CNN previewed the deal, reporting:
“An annex in the agreement will lay out how the Biden administration plans to work with Congress on the implementation of the security commitments, specifically the long-term funding that will be needed to support Ukraine’s defense.”
So, we taxpayers are basically underwriting the defense of a foreign regime. I wonder what our Founding Fathers would think about that?
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that the US “will continue to be right up front and clear” at the G7, and that Washington “will take bold steps to show Mr. Putin that time is not on his side and that he cannot outlast us, as we support Ukraine’s fight for freedom.”
Let’s call it what it is: A blank-check commitment to a corrupt foreign government that has completely obliterated the freedom of the Ukrainian people. Elections have been canceled. Media outlets and churches that voice opposition to the war have been closed, young and middle-aged men are being kidnapped and sent to die at the front. How is this freedom?
But the Western corporate media thinks this is great. They don’t even question it.
Watch this breathless report (below) from a very excited ABC News reporter, whose only lament is that the deal could be canceled by a future President Donald Trump.
GANG OF LOSERS: G7 Meeting Displays the Decadence of the Globalist World Order By Paul Serran
Jun. 15, 2024 10:30 am – The Group of Seven was created as an intergovernmental political and economic forum formed by the great western powers post WW2.
It consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Lately, the European Union, as a “non-enumerated member”, has also become part of it – with not one, but two unelected members: the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Council.
But as the advent of a multipolar world unfolds, the 2024 G7 meeting in Italy has displayed for the world to see the sheer decadence of the Globalist world order as represented by the failing leaders present.
The EU dispute, to begin with, is very symbolic of the shift to the right taking place all over the world.
EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen (VDL) has her job on the line. She was first installed by the European Council – a body uniting the heads of the EU member states, but this time around, European Council’s President Charles Michel is von der Leyen’s rival, and is reportedly plotting revenge against her because of her authoritarian ways.
In order to win another term, VDL needs 361 votes of the members of the European Parliament, out of a total of 720. But her European People’s Party (EPP) is about to get only 170 votes.
The only G7 leader in an upward trajectory was the host, Italian right winger Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Her party Fratelli d’Italia is trying to form a single faction in the European Parliament with France’s National Rally of Marine Le Pen and with the party Fidesz of Hungary’s Victor Orban.
CNN reported in a euphemistic way that the image of the G7 member this year ‘was not of leaders at the height of their political strength’.
“Instead, nearly to a person, the leaders assembling at a luxury resort in Puglia find themselves weakened at home by elections, scandal or waning influence. Amid the olive trees and swimming pools, the anti-incumbent sentiments coursing through Western democracies are creating extraordinarily high stakes for global geopolitics.
Rarely has the yearly gathering of the world’s leading economies been so overshadowed by the political vulnerabilities of nearly all its members. It raises questions of how effective the ‘steering committee of the free world’, as US President Joe Biden’s aides have labeled the G7, can actually be amid anger and discontent from their own populations.”
A mere week ago, populists, nationalists and right parties dominated in European Parliamentary elections, and critical upcoming votes in France and the United States are expected to closely follow this trend.
In this context, the G7 summit features arguably the weakest gathering of leaders the group has mustered for years – maybe ever, as the frankly decadent Globalist bunch clings desperately to power.
Politico reported:
“France’s Emmanuel Macron and Britain’s Rishi Sunak are both fighting snap election campaigns they called in last-ditch efforts to reverse their flagging fortunes. Germany’s Olaf Scholz was humiliated by far-right nationalists in last weekend’s European Parliament election and could soon be toppled himself.
Justin Trudeau, prime minister for nine years in Canada, has spoken openly about quitting his “crazy” job. Japan’s Fumio Kishida is enduring his lowest personal ratings ahead of a leadership contest later this year. And then there’s Joe Biden.”
The demented Democrat is in serious danger of losing not only the election, but his mind for good.
Update: Judge Dismisses Infowars Bankruptcy – Alex Jones Releases Statement After Victory in Court (VIDEO) By Cristina Laila
Jun. 14, 2024 7:40 pm – As reported earlier, a federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of Alex Jones’ personal assets.
Judge Christopher Lopez approved Alex Jones’ request to convert a Chapter 11 business reorganization bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy.
However, the judge on Friday afternoon dismissed the bankruptcy reorganization of Infowars and its parent company Free Speech Systems.
According to the AP, Alex Jones smiled after the judge tossed out his company bankruptcy. Jones is able to keep his company, his studio and all social media accounts… for now.
Legal experts say the Sandy Hook families could go back to the bankruptcy court and demand Alex Jones liquidate his company to pay off the Sandy Hook debt.
The AP reported:
A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ′ personal assets but dismissed his company’s separate bankruptcy case, leaving the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain as he owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.
Judge Christopher Lopez approved converting Jones’ proposed personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, but threw out the attempted reorganization of his company, Austin, Texas-based Free Speech Systems. Many of the Sandy Hook families had asked that the company also be liquidated.
If Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy reorganization had been converted to a liquidation, Jones could have lost ownership of the company, its social media accounts, the Infowars studio in Austin and all copyrights as the company’s possessions were sold. Jones smiled as the judge dismissed the company’s case.
In December 2022 Alex Jones filed for personal bankruptcy protection in a Texas court after the Sandy Hook verdict.
A Connecticut judge previously ordered Alex Jones to pay an additional $473 million to Sandy Hook families, Reuters reported.
This is in addition to the $1 billion Alex Jones was ordered to pay for questioning the Sandy Hook shooting.
Alex Jones released a video statement to X after his victory in bankruptcy court.
Archaeologists Just Made a ‘Spectacular’ Discovery at George Washington’s Home By Ben Kew
Jun. 14, 2024 5:00 pm – Archaeologists at Founding Father George Washington’s former residence have made a fascinating discovery.
According to Mount Vernon’s website, archaeologists made an “unprecedented discovery” of pre-Revolutionary War artifacts including 35 bottles of perfectly preserved cherries and berries.
The museum said in a press release:
Archaeologists at George Washington’s Mount Vernon have unearthed an astounding 35 glass bottles from the 18th century in five storage pits in the Mansion cellar of the nation’s first president. Of the 35 bottles, 29 are intact and contain perfectly preserved cherries and berries, likely gooseberries or currants. The contents of each bottle have been carefully extracted, are under refrigeration at Mount Vernon, and will undergo scientific analysis. The bottles are slowly drying in the Mount Vernon archaeology lab and will be sent off-site for conservation.
This discovery follows a recent find in the cellar of two intact European-manufactured 18th-century glass bottles containing liquid, cherries, and pits. These archaeological finds are part of the landmark privately funded $40 million Mansion Revitalization Project at George Washington’s Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon President & CEO Doug Bradburn said that he could never have imagined such a “spectacular” discovery:
Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine this spectacular archaeological discovery. We were ecstatic last month to uncover two fully intact 18th-century bottles containing biological matter. Now we know those bottles were just the beginning of this blockbuster discovery. To our knowlege, this is an unprecedented find and nothing of this scale and significance has ever been excavated in North America.
We now possess a bounty of artifacts and matter to analyze that may provide a powerful glimpse into the origins of our nation, and we are crossing our fingers that the cherry pits discovered will be viable for future germination. It’s so appropriate that these bottles have been unearthed shortly before the 250th anniversary of the United States.
These artifacts likely haven’t seen the light of day since before the American Revolution, perhaps forgotten when George Washington departed Mount Vernon to take command of the Continental Army. This means the bottles are extremely fragile and require the utmost care.
Mount Vernon Principal Archaeologist Jason Boroughs described many of the fruits as “perfectly preserved,” despite sitting there for around 250 years:
These extraordinary discoveries continue to astonish us. These perfectly preserved fruits picked and prepared more than 250 years ago provide an incredibly rare opportunity to contribute to our knowledge of the 18th-century environment, plantation foodways, and the origins of American cuisine.
The bottles and contents are a testament to the knowledge and skill of the enslaved people who managed the food preparations from tree to table, including Doll, the cook brought to Mount Vernon by Martha Washington in 1759 and charged with oversight of the estate’s kitchen.
8-Year-Old Girl Dies on Skywest Flight After Suffering Medical Emergency from Missouri to Chicago By Jim Hᴏft
Jun. 14, 2024 3:40 pm – An eight-year-old girl named Sydney Weston lost her life aboard SkyWest Flight 5121 following a severe medical emergency, according to Daily Mail.
The flight had departed from Joplin, Missouri, on Thursday and was en route to Chicago. Approximately 45 minutes after takeoff, the flight was diverted to Peoria, Illinois.
According to officials, Sydney became ill and unresponsive mid-flight, prompting an emergency landing. “Her family immediately notified the flight personnel of her condition, and they began rapidly rendering aid,” stated the coroner.
Upon landing at General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport, first responders found the girl unresponsive, without a pulse and not breathing.
Despite aggressive resuscitative efforts, Sydney was declared dead 2 hours after the flight at a local hospital. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday to determine the cause of death.
The Peoria County Coroner’s Office released the following statement:
The preliminary autopsy was inconclusive and pending several studies. However, there was no evidence of foul play and no signs of abuse or neglect.
We will be awaiting histology, biopsies, cultures, blood hematology and chemistry, and toxicology testing. These tests generally take 4-6 weeks to result. Once we have those tests completed, it is our hope that we will be able to provide a definitive and exact cause of death for this little girl and give her family some answers.
Putin Names Two Conditions For Ending The War ‘This Very Minute’ BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, JUN 14, 2024 – 11:55 AM – Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Friday speech addressed the West’s efforts to host a major Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland this weekend. Though scores of world leaders will be there, Russia has not been invited, and China has snubbed the event citing that it’s pointless without Moscow’s representation given it is a party to one side of the war.
Putin outlined his “conditions” for peace. He said for the military operation to be halted Ukrainian forces would have to withdraw from the four regions annexed by the Russian Federation. “Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Luhansk People’s Republic, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions,” Putin said in a televised address.
Russia held referendums in late September 2022 for these war-torn oblasts, and the overwhelming majority of voters were in favor of being absorbed into Russia, which Kiev and the West called a “sham” election.
Putin also stipulated a second main condition for ending the war: Ukraine must reject ambitions to join the NATO alliance.
“As soon as Kyiv says it is ready to do this and begins really withdrawing troops and officially renounces plans to join NATO, we will immediately — literally that very minute — cease-fire and begin talks,” Putin said in the talk given to a gathering of diplomats.
Interestingly, Putin showed signs he could be willing to compromise when it comes to territory, which is a bit of the first and hopeful sign that he’s serious about finding ways to wind down the war. According to AFP:
The Russian leader said he did not “rule out maintaining Ukrainian sovereignty” over the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions “on the condition that Russia has a strong land link with Crimea.”
But despite what appears to be very serious possible overtures, the Zelensky government has long maintained that it will not countenance negotiations or peace settlement until there is a full withdrawal of Russian armed forces from Ukrainian territory as existed pre-February 2022.
The weekend Swiss peace summit is expected to focus on gaining full international backing for Zelensky’s 10-point peace formula, however international press has acknowledged this as still “a largely symbolic effort”.
The sixth point of Kiev’s plan reads as follows: it calls on Russia “To cease the hostilities, Russia must withdraw all its troops and armed formations from the territory of Ukraine, plain and simple. Ukraine’s full control over its state border, recognized internationally, needs to be restored.”
Putin also took opportunity Friday to reiterate that Zelensky is ‘illegitimate’ and is serving as a mere puppet of the West:
Counterfeit Chinese Titanium Discovered In Some Boeing Jets, Per FAA By Anthony Scott
Jun. 15, 2024 7:15 am – On Friday, the Financial Times reported that Boeing acknowledged some parts of their jets contain counterfeit titanium from China.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that Boeing had told officials they had received titanium parts containing counterfeit documentation.
Boeing bought the counterfeit components from Kansas-based aerostructure manufacturer Spirit AeroSystems.
In the past, Spirit AeroSystems has had problems with quality issues.
The Financial Times reported Spirit AeroSystems received the titanium from China, where its documentation was reportedly falsified.
The FAA said in a statement, “Once we realized the counterfeit titanium made its way into the supply chain, we immediately contained all suspected parts to determine the scope of the issues.”
After Trump, Will U.S. Lawmakers be Charged for $17M in Hush Money? [VIDEOS]
Jun. 15, 2024 7:45 am – Are various members of Congress, who paid some $17 million in taxpayer funds to silence people who brought sexual misconduct claims against them, now going to be investigated, tried, and convicted of felonies, like President Trump? After all, they didn’t report those payments as campaign contributions.
That’s the suggestion that has been raised in a congressional hearing.

BREAKING: Senate Armed Services Committee Proposes Mandatory Draft Registration for Women in FY25 Defense Policy Bill By Jim Hᴏft
Jun. 15, 2024 8:00 am – The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) has proposed to include a provision in the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that mandates draft registration for women.
Under the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), not only will men aged 18 to 26 be automatically registered for selective service, but an amendment also proposes mandatory draft registration for women.
Please note that the version of the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by the House of Representatives is distinct from the version advanced by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
In May, the FY25 NDAA received strong bipartisan support as it was approved by the House Armed Services Committee (HASC). The vote was overwhelmingly in favor, passing 57 to 1.
On Friday, the House of Representatives approved its version of the bill to automatically register men aged 18 to 26 for selective service.
This automatic draft registration system would replace the existing system from 1980, which allows young men the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft.
The new legislation was introduced by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), a former Air Force officer, and was endorsed by HASC Chair Mike Rogers (R-Ala.).
The House version of the NDAA states:
Trump Says Biden is ‘Guilty of Providing Material Support for Terrorism’ [VIDEO] By Cassandra Macdonald
Jun. 15, 2024 8:45 am – During the speech on his 78th birthday, Trump asserted, “So, in addition to all of his other well-documented offenses, crooked Joe Biden is now also guilty of providing material support for terrorism.”
“Under Biden, there’s been a 3,000% increase in the number of people on the terror watchlist crossing into our country from the southern border – 3,000%,” Trump emphasized. “And that comes from the Border Patrol. Our country is going to pay a steep price for many, many years. This is a terrible thing that’s happened.”
On Tuesday, NBC News reported:
Eight men from Tajikistan with potential ties to ISIS out of central Asia were arrested over the weekend in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News on Tuesday.
The suspects had been on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force radar and were arrested by personnel with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, the sources say.
All eight men crossed through the southern border into the U.S., and their criminal backgrounds checks came back clean when they crossed, say two officials familiar with the matter.
At least two of the men crossed the border in spring 2023, and one of those men used the CBP One app, which the Biden administration created to allow migrants to book appointments to claim asylum, those officials say.
“Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities,” the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a joint statement on Tuesday. “The actions were carried out in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. The individuals arrested are detained in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”
