Radiation levels in New York spike as
mysterious drones terrorize the Northeast

Radiation levels have spiked in New York City, fueling conspiracy theories that the drones terrorizing the Northeast are searching for a missing nuclear warhead. The emissions, clocked by GQ Electronics' Geiger Counter World Map, were detected near the Bronx and Upper West Side Wednesday. The application shows a radiation reading of 1048 counts-per-minute (CPM), i.e. how many particles were detected, in the Bronx: higher than normal background radiation. The average person is typically exposed to background radiation that measures around five to 60 CPM, though CPM varies with sensor devices, according to NASA. And, on the the Upper West Side, the app's reading measured a still high 175 CPM.

Too much granite on and in the buildings. Granite is mildly radioactive, which is why Denver is a high natural background count location. This is BS. Means nothing, typical DM crap "sciency" hysteria.

Re #3, yes, very small amounts. Probably not what they are measuring. Almost certainly granite. Tons of it slathered on buildings in NYC.

Thw warhead is missing from Eastern Europe, from rumors. I have a Geiger counter I built as a kit back in the '80s called a Radalert. Some electronics magazine did an article on it. I just looked it up. It still looks the same except it's not a kit and it costs $750. I got bored with it but learned our background radiation was always from 10ish to 60ish. It has a threshold setting to set an alarm limit and never went over the limit of just a little bit higher than the highest reading of normal. The tidal wave in Japan than spilled nuclear waste into the ocean never increased our readings. I would seriously freak out about a reading in the thousands, if it were real. I'm going to fire up my old Radalert and see if anything is going on out here.

Nuclear weapons do not emit much radiation and would be hard to detect with area scanning detectors such as one carried by a drone.

#9 is exactly correct. I worked on a project for new radiation detector technology about 12+ years ago, and while the details are classified, suffice it to say that nukes are not emitting a lot of radiation that is easy to detect. It takes very special stuff, and time, not passing by rapidly. Dirty bombs would possibly be more likely to be easily detectable. But, it's not easy for terrorists to get their hands on materials to make a dirty bomb. And if some clown wants to steal a spent reactor fuel rod assembly......it weighs tons and will fry you dead before you could finish loading it onto a truck.

There's a Vince Flynn(RIP) Mitch Rapp book about a dud nuclear warhead stolen from a USSR nuclear test site and smuggled into the US. Pretty good read. Can't remember the name, perhaps Memorial Day. It doesn't matter. If you haven't read all of them then go back and read all of them.

Big Lots is beginning 'going out of business' sales at all its stores across the US, as it prepares to close its remaining locations. The discount retail chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, and has already shut hundreds of stores nationwide. In a press release Thursday, the company said it would begin the sales at its 963 remaining locations, after a sale to a private equity firm fell through. More than 400 Big Lots stores have already closed this year, marking a 30 percent decrease in its footprint.

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is said to be 'apoplectic' and 'humiliated' following the network's decision to pay $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit between ABC and Donald Trump. The settlement, which includes $15 million towards a presidential foundation and $1 million for Trump's legal fees, has sparked a firestorm within the Disney-owned news organization. Stephanopoulos, a former aide to Bill Clinton in the 1990s, was particularly incensed at being compelled to issue a public apology, according to the New York Post. Insiders explained how the veteran anchor remains 'defiant' amid the fallout.

Wright Patterson Air Force Base had to close its airspace late Friday night and early Saturday morning because of drones flying in the area, reports say. Robert Purtiman, a spokesman for Wright Patterson, confirmed to WCPO Channel 9 that the drones first were spotted near the air base late Friday night. The incident comes as concerns build over repeated sightings of drones in New Jersey and New York. “To date, installation leadership has determined none of the incursions impacted base residents, facilities or assets,” Purtiman tells WHIO Channel 7. Airspace around the military base base blocked for about four hours because of the drone sightings, WHIO reports.

Hilarious footage captured the moment Jill Biden's holiday cheer was quickly shot down by a child who corrected her Christmas greeting. The First Lady greeted children at the White House on Friday to mark the festive season at the Marine Corps' 'Toys for Tots' event, welcoming military families: 'Hello! How are you? Happy Holidays!' 'Happy Christmas!' a young boy shot back. Jill grinned at the riposte, correcting herself: 'Happy Christmas, yes.' The interaction recalls a culture wars clash that seemingly sparked up during the Obama Administration, as conservatives accuse liberals of watering down the Christian holiday.

However, the San Diego sheriff on Tuesday defied a new policy to limit cooperation. San Diego County supervisors voted to prohibit its sheriff's department from working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the federal agency's enforcement of civil immigration laws, including those that allow for deportations.

America’s greatest presidents were sometimes treated like punching bags in office — insulted and vilified by opponents. President Biden has endured the same undeserved treatment. But I expect that, like other great presidents, history will judge him more accurately. Biden has been a historically transformative president. His landmark domestic accomplishments are comparable to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. A 2023 survey of 154 political scientists and other presidential experts ranked Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and George Washington as America’s three greatest presidents, in that order.

The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week and then was suspended amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned. Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark. Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.

The Wall Street Journal has an article delving into the efforts to cover up Biden’s mental state. But the article raises as many questions as it answers. I won’t dwell on the umpteenth revelations that Biden had bad days, that he had trouble remembering lines or figuring out where he was supposed to go. While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person…

Do people on the radical left demonstrate a mental disorder? Most people on the right roll their eyes at the hysteria and fears of the left, but what’s to be done? Given that there were major shifts on the left in the 2024 election, is it possible that somehow sanity is breaking through? With the ongoing polarization that has burdened this country, it’s worthwhile to examine the psychological framework of leftists; both how they see themselves and how they see others. The results may also indicate whether the changes in voting behavior might continue, or whether they were situational. A phrase that’s been coined is “Left-Wing Authoritarianism” (LWA)
