A retired military official is warning on Wednesday that China could claim salvage rights to an F-35 stealth fighter jet that crashed into the South China Sea earlier this week. Carl Schuster, former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center in Hawaii, told CNN that China's likely game plan will be to capitalize on its territorial claims in the South China Sea and claim it's salvaging the craft for environmental purposes.(Snip)The timeline for search and recovery could stretch across months, the retired military commander said. Salvage ships could take between 10 to 15 days to arrive at their destination, he explained,

A former senior aide to President Barack Obama condemned Sen. Kyrsten Sinema as 'a c***' during a foul-mouthed appearance on a leftwing podcast. Alyssa Mastromonaco took aim at the Arizona senator for announcing that she could not support a filibuster carve-out in order to pass voting rights legislative—just before President Joe Biden met with Democrats to make one last appeal for their support. While Sinema has attracted the anger of Democrats from all parts of the party, no one has gone quite as far as Mastromonaco, 45, who was deputy chief of staff in the Obama White House.(Snip)'So anyway, it's the s***tiest grossest, like
Republican lawmakers blasted President Joe Biden following the revelation Thursday that immigration officials are releasing migrants with criminal records into the US. “Joe Biden is failing to enforce our rule of law and pouring violent criminals into our communities in the cover of night,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told The Post. “The Biden Administration must reverse course and put the interest and safety of the American people first and secure the border and deport these illegals now,” the chair of the House Republican Conference added. Rep. Michael Carey (R-Ohio) tweeted, “We already knew that the Biden Administration could care less about our immigration laws, but it appears
The parents of a 12-year-old Florida girl who tried to hang herself twice at her school after 'months of secret meetings about her gender identity' are slamming the district staff who allegedly went behind their backs and 'created a double life' for their daughter.
Wendell Perez, and his wife Maria Perez, allege the staff at at Paterson Elementary School—where their daughter was enrolled—violated their parental rights by failing to inform them of the alleged gender identity crisis and developing a plan to help her address it without their consent.(Snip)The complaint alleges that school counselor Destiney Washington held secret weekly meetings with Wendell Perez's daughter
President Joe Biden reportedly told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday to brace his country for a certain Russian invasion. Biden told Zelensky that an invasion is virtually certain and to 'prepare for impact,' CNN reported. He said Kiev could be 'sacked' by Russian forces. He reportedly said Ukraine would not be getting significantly more military help, including reiterating that no U.S. troops would be deployed there, nor would there be preemptive sanctions on Russia or any progress with NATO. The warning was not part of a White House readout provided after the call. The two world leaders conversed on the phone as the Department of Defense was issuing
Open fires burning on the street. Dangerous vagrants. Fear after dark. This is life these days in Soho—one of Manhattan’s ritziest neighborhoods, with home costs that soar into the millions. Late Wednesday night, video emerged of an open fire burning on Canal Street, and people who live and work in the neighborhood told The Post that crime and chaos has gotten so far out of control, they no longer feel safe.(Snip)The Post spoke with a half-dozen New Yorkers who live and work in Soho who all said there is a noticeable change in the neighborhood compared to a few years ago.
The new woke Superman isn’t flying with fans, according to the latest comic book sales numbers. John F. Trent reported Monday for the entertainment website Bounding into Comics that sales of “Superman: Son of Kal-El”—in which the son of the original Superman becomes a climate activist, advocates for illegal immigrants and dates a male reporter after donning his father’s cape—failed to crack the top 50 for the number of units sold only five issues into its new run. This represents an unprecedented sales flop for the Man of Steel, he said. “That’s right, the flagship Superman book at DC Comics is not on a Top 50
An unoccupied car belonging to Democratic 'defund the police' advocate Rep. Cori Bush was struck by gunfire in St. Louis early Saturday, marking the second time her vehicle has been hit in two years. The Missouri congresswoman confirmed the news Thursday on Twitter, saying: 'I'm touched by everyone who has reached out. Thankfully no one was harmed. But any act of gun violence shakes your soul.'(Snip)Last year, she introduced a $10 billion bill that would replace police officers with social workers and other first responders in incidents of mental health and substance abuse.
The bill would create a new federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services
Two men have been charged with the murder of law student Aya Hachem who was mistakenly gunned down in a botched drive-by shooting.
Tyre firm boss Feroz Suleman, 40, arranged the execution of a rival businessman in broad daylight but the gunman he hired instead shot dead innocent passer-by Aya. The 19-year-old who dreamed of becoming a solicitor had fled from violence in her native Lebanon as a child to settle with her family in Blackburn, Lancashire. Miss Hachem was shot on May 17 last year while on a trip to a nearby supermarket to buy food ready for when her family would break their Ramadan feast
A heartless vandal slashed the tires on four police vehicles parked near a Harlem precinct—just paces from where scores of heartbroken mourners held a tear-filled vigil for two slain hero officers, cops said Thursday. The vehicles were parked down the block from the 32nd Precinct stationhouse on W. 135th St. near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. when the man was caught on surveillance camera about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday puncturing and slashing the tires.(Snip)Three of the vehicles, which included an unmarked car, belonged to the NYPD. A fourth vehicle belonged to cops from Darien, Connecticut, who had traveled to Harlem to pay their respects
A former Miss Mississippi has told how her husband was shot dead in front of her and their two-year-old son in an unprovoked attack, while he was preaching in a rough part of Montgomery. Christine Kozlowski Hand, 33, who is pregnant with their second child, told DailyMail.com that her husband, Thomas Hand, 37, had not interacted with his assailant before Saturday's attack.(Snip)He had ventured to the rough Alabama neighborhood with his family to educate impoverished strangers about the powers of God, his friends and family said—just days after the couple celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary. They said a mumbling man walked up and shot him.
This is the terrifying moment two Jewish shop owners are assaulted by a passer-by in a 'brutal, unprovoked and anti-Semitic' attack on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day. The shocking video shows the pair locking up their shop in north London, when they are approached by a passer-by who launches an astonishing attack, knocking one to the floor and causing both to lose their kippah. The attack, which is being probed as a hate crime by police, took place in Stamford Hill—a Jewish community which last year saw a 'worrying rise' in anti-Semitic violence following escalating tension in the Middle East.
Joe Biden's administration has issued a dramatic warning to Vladimir Putin that if he invades Ukraine the key $11bn Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline into Germany will be cancelled. The Biden administration yesterday warned the Kremlin that it would halt the pipeline using sanctions if there was military action taken against Ukraine. 'I want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,' State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters. The spokesman refused to go 'into specifics', but added: 'We [The US] will work with Germany to ensure it does not move forward.' This morning, despite a stall in offering

Governor On Masks 47 replies
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Virginia – Fairfax County Public Schools made a show of defying Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s order that schools respect parental rights on masking on Tuesday, with an assistant principal standing in front of the school to suspend students without masks, and a public relations staffer who said the media was not allowed to watch the conflict between state and local governments play out.
At one classroom exterior door, a teacher in a dark mask and a full-face plastic shield resembled Darth Vader as she peered through the glass and, after seeing a masked child out front, opened the door a crack to let him in.
Washington—Republicans’ faith in science is falling as Democrats rely on it even more, with a trust gap in science and medicine widening substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic, new survey data shows. It’s the largest gap in nearly five decades of polling by the General Social Survey, a widely respected trend survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago that has been measuring confidence in institutions since 1972. That is unsurprising to more than a dozen scientists reached for comment by The Associated Press, but it concerns many of them. Science used to be something all Americans would get behind, Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley said.

Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, issued a warning Wednesday that it is too early to consider Covid 'controlled' in the U.S. During a Covid briefing Wednesday, the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease warned that the current Covid situation is not as optimistic as some officials and experts are saying.(Snip)He also mentioned that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for young children—which he believes could be available soon—will require three doses of the shot instead of the standard two dose regimen. 'Where we want to be is that sufficient control. Not eradication… that's unreasonable. Not necessarily elimination…
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire.
As one of three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, his vacancy, reported by several outlets Wednesday, will pave the way for President Joe Biden to nominate a new judge to the highest court.

Musician Neil Young on Tuesday deleted his post of a letter that directed his management team and record label to remove his music from Spotify over what he views as COVID misinformation spread by podcaster Joe Rogan.
"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," he wrote, Rolling Stone reports. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both."
The part-time Crosby, Stills & Nash member accused Spotify of "spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them."
Surveillance video shared on social media of a shooting inside a Spring Garden pizza shop last month appears to contradict portions of the initial account shared by police, including the assertion that the shooting victim was shot after he tried to strangle the mother of the teenager who ended up firing on him.
The 28-second video instead shows the would-be robber forcefully reaching for the register — not the cashier — in an apparent attempt to steal money. Within seconds, a 14-year-old behind the counter pulled a gun from his waistband and fired from point-blank range, the video shows.
Peter Doocy mishandled Biden's phone call
31 replies
The big news on Monday night was that Joe Biden, in response to a perfectly appropriate question from Fox News White House correspondent Steve Doocy, not only refused to answer, but openly and into the mic called Doocy a "stupid son of a b‑‑‑‑." Biden then called Doocy, ostensibly to apologize. In fact, he didn't apologize at all, but Doocy seemed happy to be the nice guy who accepted a private non-apology in exchange for a public insult. (snip) What he should have said was, "Mr. Biden, you very publicly and crudely insulted me. I expect an equally public, explicit apology."

SAN FRANCISCO — California State University, the largest-four year university system in the country, is poised to eliminate SAT and ACT standardized tests from its undergraduate admissions process, following a trend in higher education over concerns that the exams are unfair to minority and low-income students. The Board of Trustees for the 23-campus CSU system will vote in March on recommendations to end the testing requirements, which were presented at a meeting Wednesday and met with widespread enthusiasm. (Snip) Critics have long argued that standardized tests put minority and low-income students at a disadvantage, in part because of test questions that
