The Texas National Guard soldier who died trying to save alleged drug smugglers in the Rio Grande River was identified Sunday as Specialist Bishop E. Evans, 22, from Arlington, Texas. The search is still underway for Evans' body after he presumably drowned Friday after jumping in the water diving Texas and Mexico in an attempt to rescue two men from the current. Republican Texas Representative Chip Roy sent a quick 'rest in peace' message on Twitter upon the release of the deceased's name. Illinois GOP Representative Mary Miller tweeted on Sunday: 'Praying for Texas National Guard SPC Bishop Evans and his family. What a horrible tragedy for them to endure,

Swapping animal products for future foods such as insect protein or cultured milk could reduce global warming, water and land use by over 80 per cent, a new study suggests. Researchers used computer modelling to find the optimal diet combination to meet nutritional needs, while also minimising global warming potential, water and land use. They found that if people in Europe replaced meat and dairy with foods produced through new technologies, such as making fake steak out of bovine cells, it could significantly reduce all environmental impacts. Not only that, but it would be nutritionally adequate and meet the constraints for what can be feasibly consumed, according to experts
A New Jersey software engineer lived a dark double life as a “sleeper agent” in an elite Hezbollah unit, scouting terror targets in New York City for the militant group, federal prosecutors charged at the start of his trial Monday. Alexei Saab, 45, kept up appearances as a “normal” law-abiding US citizen—all while gathering intelligence on a number of Big Apple landmarks, tunnels and bridges, Assistant US Attorney Sam Adelsberg said in his opening statement. “He posed as a regular guy,” Adelsberg said. “In reality, he was a sleeper agent for Hezbollah ready to strike.” Saab was recruited by the terror organization as a college student in Lebanon
President Biden said Monday that French President Emmanuel Macron didn’t take his call to congratulate the French leader on his election night victory. Mr. Biden said he spoke with Mr. Macron’s staff when he tried to reach the French president Sunday night and he’ll try again Monday. “I feel good about the French election,” Mr. Biden told reporters after returning to Washington from a weekend trip in Delaware. “I tried to talk to him last night. I spoke to his staff and he was at the Eiffel Tower having a good time. And I’m going to be talking to him today.”(Snip)It is not the first time foreign leaders
Black Lives Matter PAC burned through nearly all of its $116,000 cash reserves in just the first three months of 2022—paying the most significant chunk to a firm owned by a BLM board member. Bowers Consulting Firm, a company run by BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers, was the highest-paid BLM PAC vendor during the first quarter of 2022, having received $45,000 from the PAC for 'strategic consulting services,' the Washington Examiner reported. Two additional law firms also received a large portion of the funds. Democratic lawyer Marc Elias, received $8,000 for legal services and the Perkins Coie law firm received $8,350 for compliance services.
The University of Waterloo has an opening for a tenure track assistant professor specializing in science and engineering—but white men need not apply. According to a listing from the Canadian university last month, the position is available only to women, or 'qualified individuals who self-identify as women, transgender, non-binary, or two-spirit'—a gender-variant derived from Native American culture. Men, meanwhile, will not be considered, the school says—especially if they are white. The assistant professor role in the school's Natural Science and Engineering Research division would pay between $90,000 and $120,000 a year, according to the ad. Negotiations beyond this salary range will be considered
The city is boosting annual funding for beds for the homeless and other services, Mayor Adams announced Sunday, weeks after launching a crackdown on homeless encampments. The $171 million yearly investment will go in part toward 1,400 “Safe Haven” beds for homeless people, he said at a news conference at City Hall.
It will bring the total number of Safe Haven beds—located at smaller sites with fewer eligibility requirements than regular homeless shelters—to 4,000, Adams said. “What we are announcing today is the largest investment in the city’s history in support of vulnerable New Yorkers experiencing homelessness on our streets and subway,” Adams said.
The banner year for corn may not be what it's cracked up to be.
Brandon Fast says it used to cost him $250 a wheel to replace the tires on his 18-wheeler on his farm near Mountain Lake. Now, that price is nearly double—just one reason he's not yet celebrating the near-historic $8-a-bushel-and-up corn prices popping up at some ethanol plants and grain elevators throughout southwestern Minnesota. "It's almost one step forward, two steps back at this point," said Fast, a corn farmer who also runs a seed and chemical business, on Thursday. Between new tires, fertilizer, and a backlog of shipping containers
One of Washington’s goals in responding to the Ukraine crisis is to erode Russia’s ability to carry out future military actions akin to the now three-month-old invasion of Ukraine, Defense Secretary of State Lloyd Austin said Monday upon returning from a stealth visit to Kyiv. “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” Mr. Austin told reporters in Poland, where he and Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived early Monday after traveling by train to the Ukrainian capital. Security was tight for the trip,
The US has pledged another $713million for Ukraine as two top Biden officials visited Kyiv under the cover of darkness where they blasted Russia's 'failing' invasion. In the highest-level meeting between the US and Ukraine since the war, Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin took a train from Poland to Kyiv where they met with Volodymyr Zelensky in an overnight trip shrouded by secrecy.(Snip)At the meeting, Austin and Mr Blinken announced a total of $713million in foreign military financing for Ukraine and 15 allied and partner countries; some $322million of that is earmarked for Kyiv. The remainder will be split among NATO members and other nations
Multiple US airlines are now so desperate for staff that they've swapped planes for buses on some shorter routes. Several carriers, including American Airlines have hired coach companies to carry passengers when the distances are small. American will bus people between Philadelphia and between multiple other airports that would only be a short hop away by air. The service will start June 3 between Philadelphia International and airports in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Atlantic City, New Jersey with the bus company called Landline. Meanwhile, United is offering one-stop connectivity to both Fort Collins and Breckenridge, with four daily buses from Denver to the former and just one to the latter.
Low-income New Jerseyans will be getting another $12.8 million to help them pay their heating and cooling bills, the final tranche of a record allocation to the state. President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus law, the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law and the regular spending bills will deliver $302.4 million to the state through Sept. 30, more than double the $112.7 million the state ordinarily would receive under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP. The money represents the biggest allocation for the program since it began in 1981 and follows a surge in energy prices during the recovery from the coronavirus-induced recession and the Russian
The U.S. secretaries of state and defense are making a secret visit to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky as he calls for more powerful weapons to fight Russian forces. Anthony Blinken and Lloyd Austin met with Zelensky in Ukraine on Sunday—13 days after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson won plaudits for flying to the war-torn nation and walking the streets of Kyiv with Zelensky.
Joe Biden has made no such-attempt to show solidarity with his own in-person visit, and his press secretary Jen Psaki has said there are no plans for the 79 year-old to travel there.

Over the last 16 tortuous months of the Biden presidency, it’s become clear that the Democrats are running on empty.They are not even trying to reset their electorally poisonous policies.Politically this means they are heading for annihilation at the midterms. Yet they appear curiously relaxed, as if winning elections is no longer a priority.
One thing you know is that the Dems are not hiding under the duvet sucking their thumbs. Like the Fantastic Mr. Fox, they have a cunning plan.They might not be any good at governing, but when it comes to seizing power by foul means or fair, they are world-class.
A Democratic congressional candidate in Washington State is arguing for a $30 per hour minimum wage, claiming that the $15 minimum wage movement is an outdated number.
Rebecca Parson, a candidate for Washington’s 6th District that includes Tacoma, shared the comment recently in a post on Twitter.
“$15 minimum wage is an antiquated demand. It should be $30 per hour,” she tweeted. [Tweet]
“1 adult supporting 1 kid needs $30 an hour across the country. Rural, urban, suburban: $30 is the floor. As you say your nightly prayers to Saint Elon while you fall asleep tonight, reflect on why you punch down on poor people
Following reports that Elon Musk may be nearing a deal with the Twitter board to buy the company, leftist “verified” accounts on the platform once again went into meltdown mode at the prospect of the Musk, the self-described free speech absolutist, taking over.“Leaving Twitter” began to trend shortly after the reports of Musk-Twitter talks. Observers quickly noted the similarity in sentiment to loud declarations from prominent leftists that they would move to Canada if Donald Trump won the election in 2016 (few, if any, did). Charles Blow, a New York Times columnist who describes Trump supporters as “angry white men,” said he would “say goodbye” to the platform
Spotify will not renew its exclusive podcast partnership with Michelle and Barack Obama, according to Bloomberg.Michelle and Barack Obama are leaving Spotify after the audio streaming giant reportedly dropped its podcast deal to the first couple.

Octogenarian House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the third in line for presidential succession, is slated to appear in a drag show hosted by RuPaul. The show, titled RuPail’s Drag Race All-Stars, is scheduled to premiere on May 20th.
Perhaps more amazing than the fact that Pelosi is appearing in this event at all is the fact that this isn’t the first time she’s done it.
LONGVIEW — In 2019, Washington created one of the most generous college financial aid programs in the country. Compared with a program it replaced, the Washington College Grant allowed many more students to qualify for free or subsidized tuition. No longer would eligible students be denied aid because of caps tied to limited funds. By all rights, the state's colleges should have seen a rush of applicants. Instead, enrollment plummeted. Community and technical colleges experienced a combined 24% drop between fall 2019 and fall 2021. Public four-year institutions saw a collective drop in undergraduates of nearly 7% during that time period
Former Good Place actress turned obnoxious leftist activist Jameela Jamil has quit Twitter over Elon Musk purchasing the platform.Jamil specifically cited her anti-free speech sentiments as the reason for her departure.“Ah he got twitter. I would like this to be my what lies here as my last tweet. Just really *any* excuse to show pics of Barold. I fear this free speech bid is going to help this hell platform reach its final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny. Best of luck. ❤️” Jamil tweeted, along with four photos of herself
White House press secretary Jen Psaki blasted former President Donald Trump on Monday for spending time building a border wall instead of pursuing immigration reform. 'If we just dial it back a few years to kind of what we inherited here, the former president invested billions of dollars in a border wall that was never going to work or be effective instead of working toward comprehensive immigration reform,' Psaki said at the press briefing. Earlier, Psaki had been asked about the death of Texas Army National Guard member Bishop Evans, who went missing Friday after attempting to rescue two migrants

A woman who accidentally dropped her cellphone into the hole of an outhouse in a national forest and fell in while trying to retrieve it had to be rescued by firefighters in Washington state.
Brinnon Fire Department Chief Tim Manly said the woman, who was at the top of Mount Walker in the Olympic National Forest northwest of Seattle, had been using her phone when it fell into the toilet on Tuesday, The Kitsap Sun reported.
Manly said she disassembled the toilet seat and used dog leashes to try and get the phone and eventually used the leashes to tie herself off as she reached for it. That effort failed

After one-third of the horrific term of President Joe Biden is almost complete, the United States of America is facing a series of mind-boggling crises.
The Biden administration’s COVID-19 response focused on forcing Americans to wear masks and take vaccines. The President pushed mandates and lockdowns, instead of freedom. The toll on our economy, overall health and psychological well-being has been staggering.
This week, in their commitment to continue these policies, the administration refused to abandon the unnecessary and ridiculous mask mandate for public transportation and will appeal a federal judge’s sensible ruling striking down this unpopular mandate.

If not for Republican refusal to secure the border, this man would be alive today. Even now, with a name and a face, the open borders set couldn't care less because open borders achieve their aims at our expense.
