The Lake Michigan Triangle

I’ve never heard of The Michigan Triangle before! I found this article on thevintagenews.com website, written by Clare Fitzgerald, discussing this abnormality.

From: thevintagenews.com:

Everyone is familiar in one way or another with the southern Atlantic’s Bermuda Triangle. Known for its shipwrecks, downed planes, and unexplained disappearances, it’s a staple of sea lore. However, there’s a stretch of water that easily rivals it: the Lake Michigan Triangle.

The Lake Michigan Triangle

The Lake Michigan Triangle is a section of Lake Michigan that’s considered especially treacherous to those venturing through it. It stretches from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to Ludington, Michigan, before heading south to Benton Harbor, Michigan.

It was first proposed by Charles Berlitz. A proponent of the Bermuda Triangle, he felt Lake Michigan was governed by similar forces. This theory was presented to the public in aviator Jay Gourley’s book, The Great Lakes Triangle. In it, he stated: “The Great Lakes account for more unexplained disappearances per unit area than the Bermuda Triangle.”

The Lake Michigan Triangle is believed to have caused numerous shipwrecks and aerial disappearances over the years. It’s also been the scene of unexplained phenomena, from mysterious ice blocks falling from the sky to balls of fire and strange, hovering lights. This has led many to believe extraterrestrials are drawn to the area, or that it’s home to a time portal.

Disasters on the water

Reports vary as to when strange occurrences started happening on the waters of Lake Michigan. Some trace it back to the 1679 disappearance of the Le Griffon, while others reference the 1891 disappearance of the Thomas Hume. The ship was transporting lumber when it mysteriously vanished. Despite attempts to locate it, it remained lost until an A&T recovery dive team came upon it in 2006.

Another mysterious incident believers in the Triangle reference is that of the Rose Belle. In 1921, the ship was transporting supplies when it was found overturned in the water. Despite appearing to have been involved in a collision, there were no other shipwrecks or reports of an accident. What’s more, the 11-person crew was nowhere to be found.

Eerie disappearances have continued to occur along the lake’s waters. On April 28, 1937, Captain George R. Donner of the freighter O.M. McFarland went to rest in his cabin after hours of navigating his crew through icy waters. As the ship approached its destination at Port Washington, Wisconsin, a crewmember went to wake him up, only to find him missing and the door locked from the inside. A search of the ship turned up no clues and Donner hasn’t been seen since.

The disappearance of Northwest Airlines flight 2501

Theories surrounding UFOs and extraterrestrials roaming the skies of the Lake Michigan Triangle are spurred on by the mysterious disappearance of Northwest Airlines flight 2501. The plane was traveling from New York to Seattle, with a stop in Minneapolis, on June 23, 1950, when it seemingly disappeared out of the sky.

At 11:37 p.m. that evening, its pilot requested a descent from 3,500 to 2,500 feet due to an electrical storm. The request was denied and minutes later, the plane disappeared from radar. Despite a massive search effort, only a blanket bearing the Northwest Airlines logo was located to indicate the plane had gone into the water.

As days passed, partial remains began to wash ashore across Michigan, but the plane never resurfaced. According to two police officers who were near the scene, there had been a strange red light hovering over the water just two hours after the plane disappeared. This has led some to theorize it was abducted by aliens. However, their reason for taking the aircraft remains a mystery.

The missing skier

Steven Kubacki was a 23-year-old student at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. On February 20, 1978, he was on a solo cross-country skiing trip near Saugatuck, Michigan, when he disappeared. The next day, snowmobilers found his equipment abandoned, and police located his footprints on the ice. The way they abruptly ended suggested Kubacki had fallen through the ice and died of either hypothermia or by drowning.

The mystery appeared all but solved until May 5, 1979, when Kubacki showed up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Fifteen months after seemingly disappearing into the icy depths of Lake Michigan, he found himself lying in the grass, some 700 miles away.

Kubacki told reporters he had no memory of the past year and a half. When he awoke, he was wearing weird clothes and his backpack contained random maps. This led him to believe he’d been traveling. He also had a T-shirt from a Wisconsin marathon, which he explained by saying, “I feel like I’ve done a lot of running.”

The location of Kubacki’s disappearance has led many to suggest he was yet another victim of the Lake Michigan Triangle. While there are those who believe him to be lying regarding his supposed amnesia, others feel an alien abduction is the reason behind his disappearance and lack of memory.

Lake Michigan’s own Stonehenge

Why is the Lake Michigan Triangle such a powerful force? A popular theory surrounds its very own underwater Stonehenge, discovered in 2007 by Northwestern Michigan College professor Mark Holley.

According to Holley, he and his team discovered the rock formation 40 feet below the waters of Lake Michigan while mapping shipwrecks. It features a similar alignment to the famous formation found in England, except it has one outlying boulder with what’s believed to be an ancient carving of a Mastodon.

Many experts are skeptical of the discovery, with Holley acknowledging that experts are needed to confirm its existence. Its exact location hasn’t been revealed, due to ongoing research and out of respect for the nearby Grand Traverse Bay Native American community.

Given the mythology and alleged paranormal aspects of England’s Stonehenge, it’s theorized the one beneath Lake Michigan contains similar properties. Could this be the explanation behind the strange happenings within the Triangle, or is the explanation more rational, like bad weather?

    chilly here this morning! lotta birds singing already this morning–I love to listen to that!
    sticker shock in walmart last night. I buy NY strip steaks there. for the last 2-3 years the price has been $13.97 a pound which sounds like a lot, but there’s normally 2 large ones in a pack for around $20.00. I cut them each in half. Hubby’s not a steak eater like I am, so for $20, I can have a piece of steak grilled every Sunday for a month. that’s worth it to me. Last night, the price had increased to $15.97 a pound. I have enough pieces in my freezer to pass for a while, but i thought that was a huge jump!

    1. Good morning, Pat! I’ve got 53 and cloudy, w/more rain possible – again, mostly to the east of me – and some hefty wind gusts. I’m sure I’ll have to take the feeders down again soon. Beyond that, the temperature forecast looks great! I will need to order another case of grape jelly soon – only 4 jars left. Still no Orioles but I saw some House finches on the jelly yesterday.

      I discovered late yesterday that one of the screens on the west end of the patio has ripped away across the bottom and up one side. Could have been a cat or possibly just the wind. I’m going to have to replace it from the inside since it’s impossible to reach the top outside because of the trellis. Guess I’ll have to haul out my electric staple gun & ladder….sigh….or call Jason…..I really shouldn’t – it’s a relatively simple fix.

      I didn’t notice the banana stock @ WM but they had plenty of fruit overall, the egg case was well stocked and there was plenty of peach yogurt.

    Jesse Watters “You have this new piece on Substack that the USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump’s impeachment?”

    @shellenberger

    “It’s a crazy story — The House of Representatives impeached, President Trump in December of 2019. Many people may may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay.The person had not actually been in the room with Trump.

    Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID. In fact, its initial founding funding I mean, now it’s $10s of millions of dollars had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a name that’s not very memorable, OCCRP, but it was basically created as an extension of the state department and then of USAID.”

    In other words, the CIA attempted to topple the U.S. government in 2016 and 2019 and succeeded in 2020 — all funded by USAID through the extortion of the American taxpayer.

    “All we’re trying to do is send them back to where they came from, because they came here illegally in the first place.”

    “20 million in, with no process. How do you get 20 million out with years and years of people fighting every single case?”

    “This is the crisis that put Donald Trump in the White House…and you’re trying to gum up the works to keep them here.”

    Shouldn’t the world be stopping?

    RFK Jr. claimed Biden’s HHS were collaborating with child traffickers and that 300,000+ children are missing in the US.

    If Biden’s HHS said this about Trump’s administration, it would be every headline and the streets would already be in flames.

    But you’ll notice that the Dems NEVER even bring up human trafficking, and completely ignore the reality that southern border is a humanitarian crisis and one of the largest child trafficking corridors on Earth.

    I’m not sure what I was expecting to happen, but I don’t know how they can just tell us Biden’s administration are responsible for hundreds of thousands of children being sold into sex slavery, and expect us to just go about our day…

While chronic disease drains trillions from Americans every year, the press can’t stop obsessing over measles. Just look at these headlines:

    “As measles cases rise, some parents become vaccine enthusiasts.”

    “US measles cases near 900, outbreaks reported in 10 states.”

    “Measles may be making a comeback in the U.S., Stanford Medicine experts warn.”

    It makes you think measles is a really big problem, but in reality, it’s not.

  10. EXCERPT: “The Trump administration announced wide-ranging sanctions Wednesday on a vast Iranian oil smuggling network that has generated “hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit funds for Iran’s destabilizing activities,” according to information provided by the State Department.

    The sanctions target five United Arab Emirates-based companies, a Turkish petrochemical supplier, an Iranian cargo firm, and two ships known to ferry Tehran’s illicit petroleum products to foreign markets like that of China. The State Department views the sanctions, some of the furthest-reaching to date, as key to “driving Iran’s illicit oil and petrochemical exports—including exports to China—to zero,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.

    The companies the State Department singled out in Wednesday’s sanctions have smuggled nearly $500 million in illicit petrochemical and petroleum products on Iran’s behalf, enabling the hardline regime to “advance its nuclear program and support its terrorist partners and proxies,” including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Yemen’s Houthi rebels, according to Foggy Bottom.

    Wednesday’s measures come on the heels of at least 16 other Iran-centric sanctions packages since President Donald Trump took office in January. The administration intends to cripple Tehran’s international oil smuggling operations, which generated upwards of $200 billion during the Biden administration, while pursuing diplomatic talks with the Islamic Republic with the goal of rolling back Iran’s nuclear weapons program…..”

  11. Just The News: “Just the News and Real America’s Voice are partnering with The American Border Story to host the first annual American Border Heroes Awards, a two-day nationally televised extravaganza that will honor the men and women on the front lines of border secutity and the families who lost loved ones to illegal migrant crime. 

    The event slated for Thursday and Friday will honor several awards winners, including White House Border Czar Tom Homan, and include members of Congress like Rep. Glenn Grothman, as well as current and former law enforcement officers for a live discussion on the border crisis and how it has been reversed under President Donald Trump. 

    The American Border Heroes Awards will also bring together 21 members of angel families, including the families of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray, and unveil new scholarships honoring those lost to crimes during the border crisis, including Rachel Morrin.

    The ceremony will air on Real America’s Voice television network at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday this week.

    “The American Border Story gifted an extraordinary contribution to the nation the last few years, reminding us daily of the breathtaking toll of an open and insecure border,” Just the News Editor in Chief John Solomon said. “It helped make sure the sacrifices of families who lost loved ones to violent illegal immigrants and poisonous fentanyl were not in vain and that the tireless determination and efforts of our Border Patrol and ICE agents to protect us in the face of unthinkable odds did not go unchronicled.

    “Now with these awards, The American Border Story is making sure future generations never forget these essential lessons. We are so honored to be host for this incredible two-day event.”

    Nicole Kiprilov, executive director of The American Border Story, said she hopes tomake the awards and scholarships an annual event. “This week marked 100 days since President Trump took office. In that time, his Administration has made significant strides towards securing our border, deporting criminals, and fixing our broken immigration system.”

    “On Thursday, we will celebrate those accomplishments, honor American angel families, and pay tribute to the Border Heroes who are working tirelessly to secure our border and make America safe again,” she added. “The reason we at The American Border Story do what we do is that we want to make sure that the light at the end of the tunnel never dims. We want to make sure the stories we tell have longevity and that we never forget the atrocities that occurred as a result of failing to secure our border.”

    The American Border Story (TABS) is a national initiative dedicated to exposing the human impact of America’s border crisis through powerful storytelling, investigative reporting, and strategic media amplification.

    Focused on both defending the truth and taking the offensive against false narratives, TABS highlights the voices of law enforcement, border communities, and American families affected by failed immigration policies, with the help of a vast network of journalists, media partners, and grassroots advocates.”

  13. Just The News: “Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday told President Donald Trump during a Cabinet meeting that she has closed down an office that operated as a “slush fund” for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

    Gabbard said the closure of the Intelligence Community Human Capital office, which was officially shut down earlier Wednesday, will save American taxpayers approximately $150 million. 

    “We discovered this human capital office that was essentially a slush fund for DEI initiatives hidden under the guise of human capital that closed down this morning,” the director said, per the Washington Times. Gabbard did not elaborate on how the office operated as a slush fund, but the ODNI website describes the program as seeking to “develop diverse pools of talent, recruit and retain the best for our workforce.”

    She also said her office has saved taxpayers another $2.6 billion so far from contracts and programs “that do nothing to ensure our national security interests.” The actions have reportedly made the agency 25% “smaller and more lean” than before her tenure.

    Gabbard also emphasized her efforts to end politicization within the intelligence community, which included referring alleged leakers of classified information to the Justice Department for prosecution.

    “I’m grateful to have the privilege of leading the intelligence community towards ending the weaponization [and] politicization of the intelligence community [that] has gone on for far too long,” Gabbard said. “We’re working every day to hold the deep state accountable.”

    She added that her office is working to revoke 67 security clearances, declassify documents, and is currently investigating 11 other people over alleged leaks of classified information.”

    Fro American Thinker:

    Tesla firebombing suspect collects a ‘get-out-of-jail-free card’ so he can keep getting his ‘trans’ meds

    By Olivia Murray

    If you like American Thinker’s content, please consider subscribing here for an ad-free experience and access to an exclusive, weekly newsletter offering insight from the editorial staff.

    As long as you’re queer and have depression—or you’re one of Epstein’s clients, or a Member of Congress, or an illegal alien, or a progressive “activist”—you’re essentially entitled to commit whatever crimes, and terrorize whoever you want, without the threat of punitive consequences. At least, that’s how the legal system, specifically the judiciary and the prosecutors, have been approaching lawlessness as of late.

    Here’s the latest, an example of beyond Twilight Zone politics: Elizabeth Weibel at Breitbart News reported yesterday that nineteen-year-old Owen McIntire, a suspected arsonist who allegedly used Molotov cocktails to firebomb a Kansas City, Missouri Tesla dealership, lighting two Cybertrucks and a couple of charging stations on fire, received a get-out-of-jail-free card because he’s a tranny…and he’s got depression…and he can’t focus.

    Yes, seriously:

    McIntire’s lawyers also argued that he be released, noting his ‘medical and mental health needs.’

    McIntire has reportedly ‘been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder,’ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, and gender dysphoria, according to court records.

    (I’m no doctor, but with a roughly 50% suicide rate in the “trans” world, both before and after “transitioning,” perhaps we ought to consider that the queerness and depression just *might* be linked?)

    And, Judge Jessice Hedges concurred—McIntire is a good kid who loves his community:

    U.S. Magistrate Judge Jessica Hedges agreed that Owen McIntire, 19, a student at the University of Massachusetts Boston, should be released after McIntire’s lawyers ‘argued’ he be released, noting that ‘he has no criminal record’ and that he has ‘strong ties to his community in Missouri,’ according to KMBC News.

    (Remind me to start a campaign to rid the judiciary of women next.)

    My money is on McIntire being one of the paid vandalizers/goons on Soros’s or USAID’s books.

    “We’re so committed to preventing ANYONE from rooting out and eliminating bureaucratic waste, that we will burn anything and everything to the ground… just as long as we’re getting our agreed upon daily rate.”

  15. Just The News: “Hunter Biden has agreed to drop his federal lawsuit against IRS whistle-blowers who publicly argued federal investigations against then-President Joe Biden’s son were being mishandled by their agency and by the Justice Department.

    “Intimidation and retaliation were never going to work,” IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley and IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler, who publicly raised concerns about what they considered the federal government’s slow-walking of the investigation, they said following the announcement Wednesday evening that the suit had been dismissed.

    The lawyers for Hunter Biden filed a joint notice with the IRS telling the federal judge that they “hereby give notice of the dismissal with prejudice of all claims asserted in the Amended Complaint” that had been filed by their client. The dismissal being made “with prejudice” essentially means that the lawsuit cannot be brought again.

    “It’s always been clear that the lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate us,” Shapley and Ziegler said. “However, we were always motivated by doing the right thing, defending our work, and honoring our duty to the American people.” 

    Biden attorneys filed a lawsuit against the IRS in September 2023, alleging “agents have targeted and sought to embarrass Mr. Biden via public statements to the media in which they and their representatives disclosed confidential information about a private citizen’s tax matters.”

    “While Mr. Biden has been the victim of various leaks regarding the IRS investigation previously, most recently, two IRS agents – Mr. Gary Shapley and Mr. Joseph Ziegler – and their attorneys raised the stakes to unprecedented levels with their numerous public appearances,” they said. The lawyers doubled down on these claims in a February 2024 amended complaint to the federal court.

    The legal team for the IRS whistle-blowers, at Empower Oversight, on Wednesday said: “Hunter Biden brought this lawsuit against two honorable federal agents in retaliation for blowing the whistle on the preferential treatment he was given by President Biden’s Department of Justice,” they said. “Shapley and Ziegler did nothing wrong.”

    Empower Oversight released findings in February from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, in which the lawyers said OSC found ​​”the IRS issued illegal gag orders and improperly removed them from the Hunter Biden investigation as reprisal for their protected disclosures.”

    The IRS whistle-blowers said in congressional transcripts that Justice Department special counsel David Weiss claimed that he was limited in his prosecutorial decision-making despite then-Attorney General Merrick Garland’s claims to the contrary and that a Hunter Biden business associate told the FBI that Joe Biden had stopped by at least one China-related business meeting at Hunter Biden’s apparent request.

    They also said “optics” prevented a search warrant at a guest house at the Biden family home in Delaware and that the assistant U.S. attorney in the Delaware federal prosecutor’s office had told investigators “don’t ask about the big guy” – in reference to Joe Biden.

    Hunter Biden initially reached a plea agreement in 2023 with Weiss on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun. The deal collapsed under scrutiny by a federal judge the next month, due in part to the revelations made by the IRS whistle-blowers. After the deal collapsed, Biden was convicted by a Delaware jury on gun charges in June, then pleaded guilty to tax charges in California in September 2024.  Then-President Biden pardoned his son in December of 2024, despite promising he wouldn’t do so.

    The two IRS whistle-blowers who shed light on what they considered failures to properly investigate Hunter Biden – and who were allegedly retaliated against as a result – received promotions from the Trump administration in March. Shapley and Ziegler are now serving as senior advisers to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.”

  16. California is just fucked up all the way around!!! LUNATICS!!!

    (The Center Square) – California Board of Parole Hearings ordered the release of convicted child murderer Herbert David Brown III, making this the second announced early release of a convicted child murderer in recent weeks.

    San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow, whose office convicted Brown for beating his 22-month-old daughter Lily to death, has requested that California Gov. Gavin Newsom use his authority to overturn the parole board’s decision. All current board members are Newsom appointees.

    “Brown has done self-help programming but didn’t express responsibility for Lily’s death until Inmate Brown was told that failure to do so was a bar to being paroled,” wrote Dow. “Even then, Inmate Brown’s account lacked credibility. Brown has significant mental health issues that appear to require ongoing monitoring and treatment. Inmate Brown’s relapse prevention plans are inadequate and superficial.”

    Brown entered a plea of no contest and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the murder. Lily was found dead with multiple injuries, including a fractured skull. Brown was under the influence of methamphetamine when he killed his daughter. He now identifies as a woman and has served 12 years of his sentence.

    According to the most recent Comprehensive Risk Assessment on Brown from 2023, he was found to be a “higher moderate” risk for violence. Brown was first granted parole in October 2024, after which California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has appointed all current members of the California Board of Parole Hearings, referred the parole decision back to the parole board for review. The board has since reaffirmed its earlier decision, and Dow is seeking residents to write to the governor to use his constitutional authority to override the parole board.

    “Precious Lily deserves better. The time is now Governor Newsom, please help ensure that we have Justice for Lily Brown,” said Dow. “The Governor has authority under California Constitution, Article V, Section 8(b) to reverse a decision to release a convicted murderer on parole, but must do so within 30 calendar days,” continued Dow. “The decision was issued on April 22, 2025.”

    There is currently no release date set for Brown.

    Two weeks ago, the Board of Parole Hearings’ decision to approve the early release of convicted child murderer Josue Herrera, who was found to have beaten his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son to death, sparked national outrage against the state’s apparent leniency toward murders of young children.

    Dow said Brown’s early release is possible due to Proposition 57, passed in 2016. Prop. 57 was written to only allow early release of “prisoners convicted of non-violent felonies.” However, because the state automatically classifies any crimes not specifically classified as violent to be non-violent, such as drive-by shootings and assault with a deadly weapon, many violent crimes are not technically considered “violent” per se.

    Dow also noted Prop. 57 allows the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to award sentence credits for rehabilitation, good behavior or educational achievements, even to those who committed crimes classified as violent. “This means that even those inmates sentenced for violent offenses, like murder of a child, are eligible to be released much earlier than under the law that was in effect prior to the passage of Proposition 57,” said Dow.”

  18. “Pakistan Claims It Has ‘Credible Intelligence’ India Will Strike Within 36 Hours”

    Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated further after a top Pakistani official claimed early Wednesday to have “credible intelligence” that New Delhi will carry out a military action against Islamabad within the next two days.

    The claim came as both the United States and China urged restraint.

    “Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends carrying out military action against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours,” Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said in an unusual middle of the night post on X. He did not elaborate on what evidence Pakistan had used to make the claim.

    Tarar’s comments come just one week after militants massacred 26 tourists in the mountainous town of Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir, a rampage that has sparked widespread outrage.

    ⚠️EXCLUSIVE:⚠️

    The husband of California U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer L. Thurston, the judge who just ruled that President Trump’s administration can’t arrest any more illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest, is a multifamily real estate broker in California who caters to the illegal alien and immigrant community, and makes Instagram videos about how Donald Trump’s mass deportations and immigration policies are bad for multifamily real estate brokers and investors.

    Judge Thurston was appointed by @JoeBiden
    in 2021.

    This is a massive CONFLICT OF INTEREST that casts doubt on Judge Thurston’s April 29th, 2025 issuance of a preliminary injunction forbidding the US Border Patrol from conducting warrantless immigration stops throughout a wide swath of California. This injunction applies to Kern County, California, including Bakersfield, CA, where Judge Thurston’s husband is in business as a multi-family real estate broker.

    Marc A. Thurston, Judge Thurston’s husband and Senior Vice President at ASU Commercial, specializes in Bakersfield’s multifamily real estate market. In video evidence exclusively obtained by @LoomerUnleashed
    @CcpSkipTracer
    , Marc Thurston stated on his Instagram account in multiple videos he filmed this year since President Trump’s inauguration, that deportations of “undocumented immigrants” would harm the local rental market in Bakersfield, directly affecting his business, which relies on immigration enforcement outcomes since over 15,000 “undocumented workers” as he calls them, work in the Central Valley of California, and many of these illegals reside in multi-family housing where Marc Thurston and his wife Judge Jennifer Thurston live in California.

    Judge Jennifer L. Thurston should have recused herself from the Trump admin case due to bias and personal financial gain resulting from her ruling, which benefits her husband’s business.

    According to the “Federal Judiciary and Judicial Procedure” guidelines that all US Federal Judges are required to follow, a judge is required to recuse themselves from a case if they find themselves conflicted with any of the following rules below:

    28 U.S.C. § 455(a): Requires recusal if a reasonable person, knowing all facts, might question the judge’s impartiality.

    28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(4): Mandates recusal if the judge’s spouse has a financial interest that could be substantially affected by the case’s outcome.

    Both of these apply to Judge Jennifer Thurston.

    She is another example of Leftist, Biden-appointed activist judge.

    Judge Thurston needs to RECUSE herself.

  20. I still had a few plants to get so I ran over to Bomgaars in Creighton. I found a yellow vining plant for my hanging barn planter (that used to be a seed feeder) and a yellow Mum for my yellow porcelain planter. It is out in front on a corner of my front porch and the hanging feeder is on the pole. Yellow everywhere!!!

    “A Massachusetts college student charged with setting Tesla vehicles and chargers on fire in Missouri has been freed from custody in part to proceed with sex change procedures she began on the month of the alleged attacks.

    A federal judge ordered 19-year-old Owen McIntire into home detention at her parents’ house, which she can leave for reasons including medical and “mental health treatment,” after her attorney filed a motion arguing why she should be freed from jail. The document reveals that McIntire is another of several transgender-identifying people charged with anti-Tesla attacks since Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration.

    “Medically, Owen faces serious and ongoing needs,” McIntire’s attorney wrote to a Massachusetts court on April 23. “He takes daily medications for depression and ADHD and has consistently demonstrated insight into his diagnoses and compliance with his treatment. He also receives gender-affirming medical care, which began in March of this year and is likely to be interrupted or terminated entirely if he remains in pretrial detention.”

    The filing says McIntire has “deep ties to [the] community” in Boston and describes her as an active student throughout her childhood, taking ballet from age 8 to 15 before apparently realizing she wanted to be transgender sometime later. She remains “medically and psychologically vulnerable” and should therefore be released, the attorney’s motion said.

    McIntire’s attorney and the DOJ did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

    The Department of Justice (DOJ) alleged that she burned two Tesla vehicles and charging stations in Missouri while on spring break in March — the same month her lawyer says she began “gender-affirming” procedures.

    The attorney said the DOJ “has suggested political overtones to” the alleged Tesla attacks, calling them “speculative.” The motion said McIntire “is an adolescent first-year college student with no criminal history” and does not pose a flight risk due to a lack of “a valid passport.”

    McIntire faces charges of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and malicious damage to property by fire. The defendant is ordered to appear in court again on Thursday, records show.

    Besides McIntire, a lipstick-wearing “queer” scientist and three other trans-identifying defendants are among those the DOJ has charged with firebombing or other vandalism against Musk’s company since President Donald Trump returned to office in January. The Trump administration also formed a law enforcement task force focused on the alleged politically motivated attacks on Tesla.

    “If you engage in domestic terrorism, this Department of Justice will find you, follow the facts, and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Wednesday press release announcing the indictment of yet another Tesla arson suspect. “No negotiating.”

  22. Ha! I was thinking recently that he should be about due to retire….

    Daily Caller News Foundation

    “Longtime Fox News host Steve Doocy announced Thursday that he will begin to co-host “Fox & Friends” remotely in Florida and in other places around the U.S. Doocy said after getting up at 3:30 a.m. every morning for nearly three decades, he will be co-hosting the show remotely three days a week and travel across the U.S. The 68-year-old said the hours on his job “suck,” and expressed excitement about this change.

    “After decades of getting up at 3, 3:30 and driving to New York City, today is the last day I will host this show from the couch. I’m not retiring or leaving the show, I’m still a host, but it is time for a change,” Doocy said. The “Fox & Friends” co-host said that his upcoming travel will make him the “coast-to-coast host.”

    https://rumble.com/v6stikl-steve-doocy-announces-shakeup.html

    Doocy became emotional as he talked about saying goodbye to all of his friends and acquaintances at the studio in New York City. He also said he plans to spend more time with his grandchildren, including George Jack Doocy, who was born to his son, Peter, and daughter-in-law, Hillary Vaughn, in April.

    The longtime host, who began co-hosting “Fox & Friends” in February 1998, said that Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott gave him the option to work remotely part-time. He said that while his children were growing up, he did not have the opportunity to eat breakfast with them because of his early hours at the crack of dawn.

    “[His children] are already stocking up the fridge with formula and Chardonnay, which we call grandpa’s medicine,” Doocy said. “I will continue to join the couch crew for commentary. You’ve trusted me for all these years and don’t worry, you will still hear my voice and my opinions loud and clear despite when seasonal pollen is killing me.”

  25. “Mission Accomplished”

    Clandestine, May 01, 2025

    “My main objective is accomplished. When I was censored by Big Tech and smeared by the MSM in February 2022, for reporting on the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine, I set out on a mission to make as much noise as possible and get the information to the right people. It worked.

    After I was banned from nearly every social media platform, smeared by the entire Left-wing media, and all the “fact-checkers” claimed there were no biolabs in Ukraine at all, I reached out to my congressmen, looking to get assistance to rectify the unjust attacks against me. None of them responded, so I started reaching out to other prominent figures, hoping someone would listen.

    Only one person contacted me back. That person was none other than Tulsi Gabbard… who was one of the only public figures who spoke out about the reality of the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine at the time. Tulsi is now coincidentally the Director of National Intelligence, and she just confirmed that she, RFK Jr. (HHS) and Bhattacharya (NIH), are investigating the source of Covid and the nefarious gain-of-function research going on in labs around the globe, including the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

    The right people are in charge of government now, and they know where the bodies are buried. Tulsi and RFK Jr. know where the trail ends. They’ve talked about the biolabs in Ukraine many times. They’ve called out Fauci’s criminality. They already found the USAID biolab network. They already know everything. It’s just a matter of breaking it to the public, cleaning up the mess, and administering justice.

    Shout-out to everyone who reported on this as well and helped move the needle for public perception. Shout-out to everyone who stuck with me even though the MSM called me a treasonous Russian asset. Also shout-out to all the haters and naysayers who said we couldn’t do it.

    The biolabs in Ukraine are currently being investigated, and the trail ends in crimes against humanity for all the top Deep State players. It’s happening.”
