Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous black book, which has hundreds of associate contact information, is going up for auction.
The New York Post has reported that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s black book is going up for auction, and bidders who participate in the auction are being promised their identities will be held secret.
The book was discovered in the 1990s by a female musician in New York’s East Village, but how it got there remains a mystery.
It’s estimated the black book will rake in over $200,000.
The book contains 349 names in total, 221 of which were never listed in Epstein’s more famous and widely reported “little black book.”

Per The New York Post:
A mysterious “black book” believed to belong to the late pedophile financier, which revealed the names and addresses of 221 previously undisclosed people, is going up for auction — and bidders are being assured that their identities will be kept secret.
It could fetch up to $200,000 — or more, the auction house owner told the Daily Beast, which first reported the story.
The book was reportedly found on Fifth Avenue in the East Village by a female musician in the 1990s, but how it came to be there remains unclear to this day.
What is clear is that the book names 349 people — 221 of whom were not named in a later, more famous “black book” that Epstein kept.
The book was the subject of an in-depth investigation by Business Insider in 2021.

A Walmart Deli worker has qualified for the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon.
Hurdler Dylan Beard qualified for the Olympic trials after placing first in the 60m hurdles at the Millrose Games in February.
Unlike other Olympic athletes who train full-time and are sponsored, Beard is not sponsored yet and supports himself by working as a deli worker at Walmart.
Beard’s Walmart manager, David Davis, shared, “Dylan’s work ethic is next level. He provides excellent customer service all the time. He goes above and beyond, just like he does on the track.”

Beard is a hurdler who will compete for a spot on the United States Olympic team heading to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He also happens to work a full-time job at the deli counter at a Walmart.
Beard emerged as a surprise winner while competing in the 60-meter hurdles at the Millrose Games in February.
“I think I went in a lot more relaxed, like nothing to lose, a lot to gain,” he told TODAY in an interview that aired April 26.
His performance in the race made him the third fastest hurdler in the world and landed him a spot at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon, in June. Following his performance at the Millrose Games, Beard returned to his normal routine.

Country star Colt Ford revealed he ‘died two times’ after suffering a heart attack after performing in Phoenix, Arizona.
In a recent interview with the “Big D & Bubba” show, Ford recounted his frightening health scare in April that occurred after performing his hit songs at a sold-out show in Phoenix.
Ford, who called into the Big D & Bubba show from the hospital, shared that as he was boarding his tour bus after performing at the Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row bar, he fell over “dead.”
Ford stated, “I died two times. Luckily, my band came out to check on me.”
After he fell over, Colt was then rushed to the ICU, and on the way, medics had to bring him back to life.
Ford is still hospitalized and has canceled all his scheduled shows up to August 30th as he recovers from surgery.

“I died two times. Luckily, my band came out to check on me. … All of a sudden, that’s when all hell broke loose.”
Despite being hospitalized, Ford still engages with his fans on social media and keeps a positive outlook.

An emergency slide that fell off a Boeing 767 passenger aircraft shortly after taking flight last week was discovered two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is currently suing Boeing over manufacturing safety issues.
Attorney Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm is currently suing Boeing due to one of its planes losing a door plug during a flight in January, discovered the emergency slide from Delta Airlines Flight 520 washed ashore on some rocks outside his oceanfront home in New York City.
In a statement to the New York Post, Bissel-Linsk shared, “I didn’t want to touch it, but I got close enough to get a close look at it.”
Shortly after Bissell-Linsk made the discovery, a crew of Delta workers were called out to remove the emergency slide from the rocks.

Bissell-Linsk is a partner at Labaton Keller Sucharow, which has filed a suit against Boeing, alleging the plane manufacturing company made false statements about safety on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 after its door plug blew out.
Per Huff Post:
An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.
Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.
“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.
Photos taken by Katie McFadden, managing editor of the local weekly Rockaway Times newspaper, show the yellow and gray slide material flopped upon some rocks before it was carried away by workers. Bissell-Linsk told the Post that it took about 10 minutes for them to haul it away.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the FAA temporarily ordered Boeing 737 Max jets to be grounded after the door plug blew out on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282.

LeBron James is once again facing controversy for his in-game tactics.
Last night, during the Laker’s playoff game against the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James attempted to scare a Nuggets fan sitting courtside.
The incident occurred in the third quarter after James received his third foul.
Clearly frustrated about the call, LeBron walks to the opposite end of the court and confronts a female fan who reportedly calls him a crybaby for disagreeing with the referee’s call.
As the woman confronted LeBron, the Lakers star then pretended like he was going to go after her, attempting to intimidate the woman physically.
After scaring the fan, LeBron then mocked her.

Over the years, LeBron James would have heard courtside fans call him all sorts of names, but we haven’t seen him respond to them all that often. During the third quarter of Game 5 between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, though, a woman could be seen yelling something at James and he decided to scare her in response.
She definitely was not expecting him to react and flinched. An account on X posted a video that showed that James allegedly was complaining about the officials calling a foul on him at that point, and it was what led to the woman calling him a crybaby.

AstraZeneca has admitted for the first time in a recent court document filing that its COVID-19 vaccine can cause rare side effects.
Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca admitted in court documents, as part of a class action lawsuit filed against them, that its COVID-19 vaccine can cause thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS for short.
TTS is a rare medical condition when a person suffers from blood clots together with a low platelet count.
Currently, AstraZeneca is facing a massive class action suit by individuals who claim the AstraZeneca vaccine caused serious injuries or resulted in the death of a family member.

Per The Telegraph:
AstraZeneca has admitted for the first time in court documents that its Covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect, in an apparent about-turn that could pave the way for a multi-million pound legal payout.
The pharmaceutical giant is being sued in a class action over claims that its vaccine, developed with the University of Oxford, caused death and serious injury in dozens of cases.
Lawyers argue the vaccine produced a side effect which has had a devastating effect on a small number of families.
The first case was lodged last year by Jamie Scott, a father of two, who was left with a permanent brain injury after developing a blood clot and a bleed on the brain that has prevented him from working after he received the vaccine in April 2021. The hospital called his wife three times to tell her that her husband was going to die.
AstraZeneca is contesting the claims but has accepted, in a legal document submitted to the High Court in February, that its Covid vaccine “can, in very rare cases, cause TTS”.

Los Angeles Lakers Star LeBron James has once again allowed his emotions to get the best of him on the court.
During the Lakers’ latest playoff game against the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James exploded at his head coach, Darvin Ham, for refusing to challenge a referee’s call.
In the fourth quarter, while the Lakers were up by 15, James became irate when his head coach, Darvin Ham, did not challenge a ref’s call that claimed Lebron knocked the ball out of the game.
After coach Ham refused to challenge the call, LeBron jumped up and down and screamed at his head coach and bench players.

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) April 28, 2024
Per Sports Illustrated:
The Los Angeles Lakers’ Game 4 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night wasn’t without drama.
Usually, that drama takes the form of the Lakers blowing a double-digit lead as they have for the last three consecutive series matchups against the Nuggets. Yet Game 4 was different, not only because the Lakers held onto their lead for the win, but because Los Angeles star LeBron James had one of his biggest on-court blowups of the year.
Early in the fourth quarter with the Lakers up 15, James was visibly outraged after the Lakers chose not to challenge an out-of-bounds call. The officials ruled that James touched the ball last, though slow-motion replays revealed that the ball indeed went off of Nuggets’ Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
James unsuccessfully pleaded with his coaches to challenge the call and was seen furiously shouting at the Lakers bench and even stomping on the court.
The Lakers ended up defeating the Denver Nuggets 119 to 118.
The Nuggets still lead the series 3 to 1.
This isn’t the first time in the series that LeBron has let his temper flare.
On Monday night, James abruptly left a press conference after voicing his frustrations about the refs calling the playoff game.

President Joe Biden has granted clemency to 16 people who were convicted of non-violent drug crimes, issuing pardons to 11 men and women and commuting the sentences of five other people in the latest use of his clemency power to address racial disparities in the justice system.
Biden said in a statement Wednesday that April is Second Chance Month and that many of the individuals getting clemency had received “disproportionately longer” sentences than they would have under current law.
The Democratic president is campaigning for reelection in November and is grappling with how to boost support from communities of color that heavily supported him over Republican Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The two rivals are headed for a likely rematch in November.
After Biden granted clemency to the 16 individuals, Kamala Harris invited reality TV star Kim Kardashian to discuss criminal justice reform at the White House.

The University of Southern California has announced it will cancel its main graduation ceremony over security concerns.
In recent weeks, pro-Palestine protests have erupted all over USC’s campus, causing significant security risks on campus.
Many of the protests have been organized by USC Divest from Death Coalition, an organization that is demanding USC to cut financial ties with Israel.
After canceling the graduation ceremony, USC wrote to students, “We understand that this is disappointing; however, we are adding many new activities and celebrations to make this commencement academically meaningful, memorable, and uniquely USC.”
The protests on USC’s campus grew larger last week after USC decided to inform valedictorian Asna Tabassum that she would not be allowed to deliver a speech at graduation, citing potential campus security risks.
Tabassum believes she was nixed from delivering the speech due to her vocal support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Some universities called in police to break up the demonstrations, resulting in ugly scuffles and dozens of arrests, while others appeared content to wait out student protests as the final days of the semester ticked down.
USC announced the cancellation of the May 10 ceremony a day after more than 90 protesters were arrested on campus. The university says it will still host dozens of commencement events, including all the traditional individual school commencement ceremonies where students cross a stage and receive their diplomas.
Tensions were already high after the university canceled a planned commencement speech by the school’s pro-Palestinian valedictorian, citing safety concerns.
Over 90 protesters were arrested just one day before USC announced the cancellation of the graduation ceremony.

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas poked holes in special prosecutor Jack Smith’s theory that Trump is the first president to face criminal charges because former presidents have never committed crimes.
The Supreme Court on Thursday heard oral arguments on Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.
Jack Smith’s prosecutor Michael Dreeben went before the Supreme Court on Thursday and argued presidents do not have immunity for their official acts conducted during their time in the White House.
Dreeben further argued that no former president besides Trump has ever committed crimes.
In response to Dreeben’s argument, Justice Clarence Thomas stated, “Over the not-so-distant past … certain presidents had engaged in various activities, coups or operations like Operation Mongoose when I was a teenager, and yet there were no prosecutions.”
Operation Mongoose was a CIA covert operation that was authorized under President Dwight Eisenhower and continued under the Kennedy administration.
Under the operation, the CIA conducted terrorist attacks against Cuban civilians and attempted several assassination attempts against Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

Per The Daily Caller:
The lawyer representing special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday asserted that the reason former President Donald Trump is the first president to face criminal charges is because his predecessors did not commit any crimes.
Department of Justice counselor to Smith, Michael Dreeben, went before the Supreme Court to argue presidents should not have constitutional immunity from prosecution for official acts conducted during their presidency. Dreeben suggested that no president until Trump has ever committed crimes when Supreme Court Justice
“Over the not-so-distant past … certain presidents have engaged in various activity, coups or operations like Operation Mongoose, when I was a teenager, and yet there were no prosecutions,” Thomas said. “Why? If what you’re saying is right, it would seem that would have been ripe for criminal prosecution of someone.”
“So Justice Thomas, I think this is a central question,” Dreeben responded. “The reason why there have not been prior criminal prosecutions is that there were not crimes.”
The covert operation by the CIA received backlash from Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy after he discovered the CIA hired a member of the Italian mafia to assassinate Castro.
Other sinister plans by the CIA discovered by Robert F. Kennedy included the CIA’s plan to bomb areas of Miami where Cuban refugees were living.

A Louisiana judge has sentenced a man to physical castration after pleading guilty to raping a 14-year-old girl.
According to District Attorney Scott Perrilloux, on April 17th, Glenn Sullivan,54, pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree rape.
On Monday, Louisiana Judge William Dykes sentenced Sullivan to be physically castrated along with serving a 50-year prison sentence.
Assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio told the press, “I’ve had three people ordered to be chemically castrated, but, to my knowledge, this is the first physical castration to be ordered.”
In 2008, Louisana enacted a law that ordered men convicted of certain rape crimes to be castrated chemically or have the option to be physically castrated.

Cacao trees in West Africa, where 50% of the world’s chocolate originates, are currently under threat by a virus that may jeopardize the global supply of chocolate.
In a new scientific study, researchers from the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana and the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, reported that the cacao swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD), caused by tiny insects called mealybugs, has endangered cacao trees in the Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Harvests in the Ivory Coast and Ghana have been cut by 15% to 50% since the virus has wreaked havoc on cocoa trees.
To combat the pesky virus, researcher Chen-Charpentier from the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, has advocated for vaccinating cocoa trees and spreading them out from one another.
Chen-Carpentier stated, “What we needed to do was create a model for cacao growers so they could know how far away they could safely plant vaccinated trees from unvaccinated trees in order to prevent the spread of the virus while keeping costs manageable for these small farmers.”
Vaccinated the cocoa from mealy bugs?
“Farmers can combat the mealybugs by giving vaccines to the trees to inoculate them from the virus. But the vaccines are expensive….. and vaccinated trees produce a smaller harvest of cacao…devastation of the virus”https://t.co/JMd6Wwcmcf— Alita Gail (@RealAlitaGail) April 23, 2024
Per Science Daily:
A rapidly spreading virus threatens the health of the cacao tree and the dried seeds from which chocolate is made, jeopardizing the global supply of the world’s most popular treat.
About 50% of the world’s chocolate originates from cacao trees in the West Africa countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana. The damaging virus is attacking cacao trees in Ghana, resulting in harvest losses of between 15 and 50%. Spread by small insects called mealybugs that eat the leaves, buds and flowers of trees, the cacao swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD) is among the most damaging threats to the root ingredient of chocolate.
Chen-Charpentier and colleagues from the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, the University of South Florida and the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana have developed a new strategy: using mathematical data to determine how far apart farmers can plant vaccinated trees to prevent mealybugs from jumping from one tree to another and spreading the virus.
“Mealybugs have several ways of movement, including moving from canopy to canopy, being carried by ants or blown by the wind,” Chen-Charpentier said. “What we needed to do was create a model for cacao growers so they could know how far away they could safely plant vaccinated trees from unvaccinated trees in order to prevent the spread of the virus while keeping costs manageable for these small farmers.”

The National Transportation Board has reported a Douglas C-54 airplane that was transporting fuel crashed into a river in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The Alaska Department of Public Safety reported, “The aircraft slid into a steep hill on the bank of the river, where it caught fire. No survivors have been located.”
There were two people onboard the aircraft at the time of the crash.
A preliminary report by authorities revealed the Douglas C-54 aircraft was conducting a fuel transport flight that was being operated by Alaska Air Fuel when it crashed into the frozen Tanana River at around 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation by the NTSB.

Per The Associated Press:
A Douglas C-54 Skymaster airplane carrying two people crashed into the Tanana River near Fairbanks on Tuesday and burst into flames, authorities said. No survivors have been found.
The plane took off in the morning from Fairbanks International Airport. It crashed about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from there and “slid into a steep hill on the bank of the river where it caught fire,” according to Alaska State Troopers.
Clint Johnson, chief of the National Transportation Safety Board’s Alaska regional office, said it remained unclear what happened in the time between the takeoff and the crash but the tower operator “saw a large plume of smoke.”
Michaela Matherne was flying from the village of Galena to Fairbanks to catch a flight to New Orleans when her small plane was diverted to verify the coordinates of the crash site.

MacDill Air Force Base’s tarmac was infiltrated by an unlikely reptile: an alligator.
On Monday, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (CWC) was called to remove a 10-foot-long alligator that made its way onto the tarmac at MacDill Air Force Base.
Airmen first spotted the alligator resting underneath the wheel of one of the many aircraft on the tarmac.
The base later released a video of the alligator being wrangled by two CWC officials.
After struggling with it early on, CWC officials eventually captured the alligator and released it into a nearby river.

The Tennesse House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday that will allow trained teachers to carry guns inside classrooms.
In a 68-28 vote, the House passed SB1325, allowing trained teachers and other school staff to carry into the school.
Only four Tennessee House Republicans voted against the bill, and all Tennessee House Democrats voted against the bill.
The bill will now head to Governor Bill Lee’s desk, where he is expected to sign the bill into law.

— RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) April 23, 2024
The bill requires teachers and staff who wish to be armed in school to first receive permission from the school’s superintendent and principal.
It also requires teachers and staff to complete training in school policing, undergo a background check, and have a psychological examination.
Per The Tennessean:
Tennessee House Republicans on Tuesday passed legislation to allow some trained teachers and school staff to carry handguns despite pleas from Democrats, students and gun-reform advocates to defeat the bill.
Dozens of protestors in the galleries began chanting “Blood on your hands” as soon as the legislation passed, prompting House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, to order state troopers to clear the galleries. Many protestors continued to chant and stomp down at lawmakers as the House floor fell into chaos over parliamentary issues.
Four Republicans ultimately crossed the aisle to join Democrats in voting against the bill, with another three abstaining from the vote. Still, the measure easily sailed through the House on a 68-28 vote and is all but guaranteed to become law within weeks, as Gov. Bill Lee can either sign it into law or allow it to become law without his signature. Lee has never vetoed a bill.
Armed teachers, who will be required to undergo training that some opponents have argued is not intensive enough, will be allowed to carry handguns in their classrooms and in most campus situations without informing parents and most of their colleagues they’re armed.
Moments after the House passed the bill, protestors flooded the Tennessee House gallery and started to chant, “Blood on your hands.”

Legendary Mount Everest pioneer George Mallory’s final letter to his wife has been published after being held secret for over 100 years.
The letter from Mallory, published by his alma mater, Cambridge University, expressed the difficulties he faced during his final expedition.
In the letter, Mallory told his wife, “Darling, I wish you the best I can – that your anxiety will be at an end before you get this – with the best news, which will also be the quickest.”
“It is 50-to-one against us, but we’ll have a whack yet and do ourselves proud. Great love to you. Ever your loving, George,” added Mallory.
Mallory concluded his letter to his wife by writing, “The candle is burning out, and I must stop.”
Mallory disappeared in 1924 along with his climbing partner Andrew Irvine, 22, during their expedition to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
In 1999, Mallory’s body was discovered below the peak, but it’s unknown whether he died before or after he reached the summit.
Irvine’s body has never been discovered.
The final letter that George Mallory wrote to his wife before he vanished on Mount Everest a century ago has been digitalized. https://t.co/iUni5iJ28k
— NBC4 Washington (@nbcwashington) April 22, 2024
More from CBS:
A BBC World Service news report from May 4, 1999 stated: “An expedition to Mount Everest has found the body of the famous British climber, George Mallory, who disappeared 75 years ago a short distance from the summit. The team said they spotted the corpse protruding from the snow about 600m below the top of Everest. Mallory’s name tag was on the clothing and a rope was still round his waist.”
The first documented ascent came nearly three decades later when New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay scaled the mountain on May 29, 1953. In 1963, Jim Whittaker became the first American to reach the summit. “There was no feeling of exhilaration, no feeling of ‘Boy, we pulled it off.’ We were just hanging on to life,” Whittaker told CBS News on the 50th anniversary of his ascent. “And I knew we were out of oxygen. You’re in the death zone. If you don’t get down, you die.”
Magdalene College posted Mallory’s letters online to mark the centenary of his ill-fated attempt to stand atop the world. The collection, which had previously been available to researchers, also includes letters he wrote from the battlefront in World War I and correspondence he received from others, including his wife.
The only surviving letter his wife wrote from England during the expedition was sent as his party sailed toward Bombay. It recounts a recent snowstorm, how her bank account was overdrawn and how she fell off a ladder before telling him how much she missed him.

The U.S. government has donated 100,000 doses of anthrax vaccines to Ghana’s government in an effort to support the country’s anthrax vaccination program.
The U.S. Government donated the vaccines through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The anthrax vaccines that were donated were not for human usage but rather for livestock that are susceptible to being infected with anthrax.
USAID Ghana Mission Director Kimberly Rosen, in a press release, stated, “Anthrax not only threatens human life. When it destroys livestock, it also threatens economic prosperity and food security.”
Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis, a spore-forming bacterium that can live in the ground for decades.
Natural outbreaks of anthrax among livestock don’t pose a severe risk to humans unless a person has direct contact with affected livestock; the weaponized version of anthrax, however, is highly deadly.

The United States Government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is donating 100,000 doses of the anthrax vaccine in support of the Government of Ghana and U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) anthrax vaccination campaign. The campaign is expected to cover about one million animals across the five regions of the north.
“Anthrax not only threatens human life. When it destroys livestock, it also threatens economic prosperity and food security,” said USAID/Ghana Mission Director Kimberly Rosen during the launch.
Before the launch event, Ms. Rosen and partners from FAO to tour the Vaccine Production Unit of the Central Veterinary Laboratory in Pong-Tamale. In support of domestic manufacturing capacity, USAID recently purchased 100,00 anthrax vaccines from the Central Veterinary Lab to donate to the anthrax vaccination campaign.
“During our tour of the Central Veterinary Laboratory this morning, it was clear that with some automation and more investment, the lab could produce larger quantities of vaccines to meet the national market and also be exported. More vaccines means healthier animals, safer humans and potential revenue and job creation for the Veterinary Service Department,” she added.
The U.S. Government is not just concerned with anthrax infecting livestock in Africa, but the Department of Defense has been stocking up on anthrax vaccines in preparation for a possible anthrax attack.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biopharmaceutical company Emergent BioSolutions (EBS) signed a massive $235.8 million contract with the Department of Defense in January to supply the U.S. military with its BioThrax anthrax vaccine.

Per ESPN:
Ryan Garcia’s fitness to fight was questioned in the lead-up to his bout with Devin Haney, a turbulent promotion that was highlighted by Garcia’s erratic comments.
Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) was a major underdog and virtually counted out entering Saturday evening. His blinding, powerful left hook turned the tide as Garcia scored three knockdowns to pull the upset via majority decision at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
One judge scored the bout 112-112 but was overruled by scores of 114-110 and 115-109 for Garcia. However, Garcia wasn’t eligible to win Haney’s WBC junior welterweight title after he weighed 143.2 pounds Friday for the 140-pound contest. Haney remains the champion in defeat, but it’s Garcia who scored the career-best win by knocking off ESPN’s No. 6 pound-for-pound boxer.

In a press release on Friday, the World Health Organization reported that the H5N1 bird flu virus had been detected in high concentrations in raw milk from infected mammals.
The report comes a month after the Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed the first human case of H5N1.
During the press briefing in Geneva, Wenqing Zhang, WHO’s head of the global influenza program, said that H5N1 has been detected in raw milk from infected mammals.
Wenqing Zhang, WHO’s head of the global influenza program, stated, “Bird-to-cow, cow-to-cow, transmissions have been registered during these current outbreaks, which suggests cow-to-bird tra that the virus may have found other routes of transition than we previously understood.”
Zhang continued to share that the virus was discovered in “very high virus concentration in raw milk” that was not pasteurized.
Per Barron’s:
The H5N1 bird flu virus strain has been detected in very high concentrations in raw milk from infected animals, the WHO said Friday, though how long the virus can survive in milk is unknown.
Avian influenza A(H5N1) first emerged in 1996 but since 2020, the number of outbreaks in birds has grown exponentially, alongside an increase in the number of infected mammals.
The strain has led to the deaths of tens of millions of poultry, with wild birds and land and marine mammals also infected.
Cows and goats joined the list last month — a surprising development for experts because they were not thought to be susceptible to this type of influenza.

The 18-year-old arrested in connection with the death of an adviser to U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto was in the country illegally.
Elmer Rueda-Linares was in a two-vehicle crash about 4:30 a.m. April 6 at Kietzke and Peckham lanes that killed Kurt Englehart, state senior adviser to Cortez Masto, a Democrat.
On April 8, federal officers placed an immigration detainer — or “ICE hold”— on Rueda-Linares, who is being held at Washoe County Jail, the Department of Homeland Security told the RGJ in a statement Tuesday.
The initial charge against Rueda-Linares of felony hit-and-run has been changed to failing to stop at the scene of an accident, according to the sheriff’s office. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

The Daily Mail has reported Democrat Rep. Donald M. Payne Jr. (D-NJ) has been in a coma for 11 days following a heart attack on April 6.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. Payne, who has been a firm advocate for COVID-19 vaccines, suffered a heart attack after having complications with diabetes.
On April 9th, Payne’s office released a statement stating, ‘Currently, Payne is recovering in the hospital as doctors conduct routine exams to monitor and observe his improvement.”
In the latest press release from Payne’s office, a statement read, “Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. suffered a cardiac episode based on complications from his diabetes last week. Today, he is in stable condition at a local hospital and continues to be under doctor’s care. While we hope for a full recovery, we ask everyone to keep him in your prayers.”
Payne’s office’s latest statement is severely understated compared to the Daily Mail’s latest report, which claims Payne has “yet to awake after suffering the heart attack.”

Several states lost access to 911 emergency call services late last night causing many residents not to have any access to emergency services.
Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas, and Nevada residents experienced emergency service outages from around 10 p.m. to midnight.
Authorities in Texas reported the outages were due to “an outage with a major cellular carrier” but did not elaborate on which carrier was responsible.
The outages were first reported in Las Vegas, which caused the Las Vegas Police Department to urge those needing emergency services to dial 911, and dispatchers would call them back.
Outages in Texas, Nevada, and Nebraska were only reported in several cities and towns, but South Dakota experienced a state-wide outage.

Per CBS:
Multiple states lost access to emergency dispatchers late last night, meaning that residents could not call 911.
The issue affected parts of Nebraska, Texas and Nevada, and all of South Dakota. The outage was first reported around 10 p.m. local time. Service was restored around midnight, officials said.
In Texas, the City of Del Rio Police Department said the outage was because of “an outage with a major cellular carrier.” The department did not specify which cellular carrier was responsible.
Affected areas recommended that residents call non-emergency numbers amid the outage.
In Las Vegas, Nevada, officials said that 911 calls from landlines were not working, but that dispatchers could still see incoming calls. Dispatchers worked to call back numbers that dialed in, officials said on social media. According to Henderson County, Nevada officials, texts to the 911 number were coming through even when the phone line wasn’t working.
Hours before the 911 services were disrupted, ABC News released an article stating the Department of Homeland Security is concerned that emergency services are likely targets for cyberattacks.

The NBA has banned Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter for life after violating NBA gambling rules.
According to ESPN, Porter provided inside information to bettors and limited his participation in games due to gambling purposes.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver released a statement saying, “There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams, and everyone associated with our sport, which is why Jontay Porter’s blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment.”
In an internal investigation, the NBA discovered before a game on March 20th that Porter gave information to a bettor regarding his health status.
After obtaining the inside information, the bettor bet on an online sportsbook that Porter would not reach the stat line set for him in the parlay.
Just a few minutes into the game, Porter checked himself out, claiming he was sick and did not reach the numbers set for him in the parlay.
Porter’s move would have won the bettor $1.1 million, but the bettor’s account was frozen due to the suspicious actions, and an investigation ensued.

An Indiana National Guard member reportedly shot an illegal immigrant who stabbed another unlawful immigrant at the U.S.-Mexico border.
According to an internal Border Patrol bulletin obtained by News Nation, a member of the Indiana National Guard discharged his weapon at an illegal alien, stabbing another illegal immigrant on U.S. soil near the edge of the Rio Grande River.
The National Guard’s Media Department responded to the shooting by releasing a statement that reads, “The Indiana National Guard is aware of the incident that happened Sunday, April 14.”
“We support and care for our soldiers and airmen supporting Operation Lone Star.” added the National Guard.
At the beginning of April, Indiana sent guard members to the southern border to assist Governor Greg Abbot’s Operation Lonestar, which aims to “enforce federal and state laws preventing migration along the border.”

CNN canceled NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley’s new show “King Charles” after just six months.
King Charles, a talk show starring Charles Barkley and his co-host Gayle King, has been canceled by CNN due to its failure to produce ratings.
Nielson reported Barkley’s show was the lowest-rated prime-time weeknight TV series for CNN in the last ten years.
Originally, “King Charles” was supposed to air until the Spring, but due to only garnering an average of 459,000 total viewers during its first 14 episodes, CNN decided to pull the plug.

Per The New York Post:
The CNN weekly prime time talk show co-hosted by basketball loudmouth Charles Barkley and CBS morning star Gayle King has ended a six-month run that failed to produce ratings.
The weekly call-in show “King Charles,” which aired at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday nights failed to generate more viewers than reruns of the sitcom “Friends” and episodes of “South Park.”
It was the lowest-rated prime time weeknight series debut for CNN in at least a decade, according to Nielsen.
When the show launched in November, CNN said it planned to air it through the early spring.

A frightening video that has gone viral on X shows an organizer with the Anti-War Committee Chicago teaching far-left activists how to chant “death to America” and “death to Israel” during an “anti-war” conference held at Teamster’s Union’s Headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
The Free Press reported during a breakout session at the “anti-war” conference, Shabbir Rizvi, who serves as an organizer with Anti-War Committee Chicago, began to teach far-left activists how to chant “death to America” and “death to Israel” in the Persian language Farsi.
Rizvi told the radical leftists in attendance to chant “Marg bar Israel,” which in Farsi means “death to” or “down with” Israel.
After the death to Israel chants concluded, one person in attendance at the break-out session asked, “Can we get a marg bar America?”
Rizvi responded to the man’s request, saying, “We can get a ‘marg bar America.”

Joe Iosbaker, an organizer with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which called October 7 a “good turn of events” in its press release about the terrorist attacks, tells me he supports Iran. His organization has since released a statement backing Iran, where citizens gathered to shout“Death to America” during their nation’s strike against Israel Saturday night.
“We demand hands off Iran,” the statement says. “The people have power, and we will exercise it in the streets.”
Earlier that day, before news of the attack broke, at a “breakout session” on “the anti-war movement,” Shabbir Rizvi, an organizer with Anti-War Committee Chicago, taught participants how to chant “death to Israel” and “death to America” in Farsi.
“Marg bar Israel,” he chanted, leading a group of about 80 attendees along with him. A man draped in a Soviet flag bearing a gold hammer and sickle clapped his hands. A man in a full black denim outfit shouted out behind his N95—“Can we get a ‘marg bar America’?”
“We can get a ‘marg bar America,’ ” Rizvi replied.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has raised eyebrows in the last several years for projects such as its Advanced Plant Technologies (plants that spy) and ReSource Program (which aims to turn trash into food).
If you have never heard of DARPA, it’s a research agency of the United States Department of Defense that creates innovative and cutting-edge technology for the U.S. military.
One of DARPA’s latest projects is the Manta Ray Project.
According to DARPA’s website, the Manta Ray Project seeks “to demonstrate innovative technologies allowing payload-capable autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to operate on long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments without the need for on-site human logistics.”
DARPA tapped defense contractor Northrop Grumman to create a prototype of the Manta Ray.

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), also known as drones of the sea, are not new innovations.
What is unique about the Manta Ray drone is that it can go on “long-duration missions, harvesting energy to power its trek.”
It also has payload capability, which means it can haul cargo or launch warheads wherever the US military needs them.
Per Naval Technology:
Northrop Grumman Corporation has announced the successful completion of the Manta Ray prototype, an uncrewed underwater vehicle designed to conduct long-duration, long-range missions in challenging ocean environments.
Named after the sea creature, Manta Ray represents a leap forward in Northrop Grumman’s undersea exploration technology, offering autonomous operation without the need for on-site human support.
According to GlobalData’s Thematic Intelligence on unmanned maritime vehicles, Northrop’s expertise in advanced networking solutions and platform development has led to its participation in the Angler UUV development programme for the US Navy alongside the Manta Ray programme.
Developed as part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiative, Manta Ray incorporates technologies to enhance energy management, increase payload capacity, and optimise propulsion efficiency. These advancements pave the way for extended undersea missions, making Manta Ray a versatile platform with a variety of applications.

Jake Paul is set to fight Mike Tyson, 57, on July 20, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The fight will also be exclusively aired live on Netflix.
Trump and Tyson have a long history together.
In 1988, Trump paid a record $11 million for a site fee to host the super fight Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks at the Atlantic City Convention Hall, which was attached to the Trump Plaza Hotel.
Tyson won the fight in a 91-second KO and earned a record-breaking $22 million purse.
Trump, however, was not only a supporter of Tyson during his highs but was also a defender of him at his lows.
When Mike Tyson was convicted of rape back in 1992, Trump went on David Letterman to suggest that Iron Mike didn’t receive a fair trial.
Tyson has also returned the favor and has defended Trump on several occasions.
In 2016, Tyson endorsed Trump and publicly stated that Trump has been a real friend to him.

In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey shared that there is an “initiation process” in Hollywood.
The star of Lincoln Lawyer shared with People Magazine that he’s had his highs and lows as an actor but essentially had to find out the hard way how Hollywood operates.
McConaughey stated, “Overall, I believe there’s been inherent goodwill for me, but it did not keep me from figuring out my own initiation into the industry.”
“There’s a lot of things you learn ten years after being in Hollywood, and you go, ‘Well, why didn’t they tell me that in year two?’ Because there’s an initiation process.” added McConaughey.

Per The New York Post:
In an interview with People, McConaughey shared that there’s an “initiation process” in the industry, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I, like anyone, have had my ups and downs,” he told the outlet.
The Texas native went on to explain that after having skin in the Hollywood game, he wondered why nobody had given him tips and tricks earlier on.
“There’s a lot of things you learn 10 years after being in Hollywood and you go, ‘Well, why didn’t they tell me that in year two?’ Because there’s an initiation process,” he told the outlet.
In recent years, McConaughey’s name has been mentioned as a potential candidate for Governor of Texas.
In 2022, Biden invited McConaughey to the White House briefing room to speak about gun violence legislation following the mass school shooting in McConaughey’s hometown, Uvalde, Texas.

A new study from Consumer Reports revealed that popular kids’ food Lunchables contains concerning amounts of lead in its pre-packaged meals.
Consumer Reports tested 12 Lunchable products in a study and discovered that five contained over 50% more lead than California’s legal amount.
Parents have been using Lunchables for decades for quick lunches, but the Consumer Report’s latest revelation might make parents reconsider their decision to feed their children the prepackaged lunch that usually consists of deli meat, cheese, and crackers.
Amy Keating, a dietitian at Consumer Report, stated, “There’s a lot to be concerned about in these kits.”
“They’re highly processed, and regularly eating processed meat, a main ingredient in many of these products, has been linked to increased risk of some cancers.” added Keating.
Our food supply is poison.

Per The Hill:
The popular kids snack Lunchables contains relatively high levels of lead and sodium, a consumer watchdog group warned Tuesday.
Consumer Reports (CR), a consumer advocacy group, said it tested 12 store-bought versions of Lunchables — which are made by Kraft Heinz — along with similar lunch and snack kits and found “relatively high levels of lead and cadmium” in the Lunchables kits.
Cadmium is a chemical element linked to negative effects on the kidney and the skeletal and respiratory systems and is classified as a human carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization.
There is not a safe level of lead for children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes.
The sodium levels in the kits ranged from 460 to 740 milligrams per serving, nearly a quarter to half of a child’s daily recommended limit for sodium, CR said.

During March Madness, the New Jersey National Guard’s 21st Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team (WMD-CST), Delaware National Guard’s WMD-CST, and Idaho’s National Guard WMD-CST conducted a hypothetical search for domestic nuclear terrorists inside the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey.
The U.S. Army reported that the New Jersey, Idaho, and Delaware National Guard participated in interagency biological, chemical, nuclear, radiological, and explosives training from March 25 to 28, during the height of college basketball’s March Madness tournament.
Guard members, FBI agents, and state law enforcement officers were given a hypothetical scenario that stated, “In just a few hours, more than 10,000 people will crowd the facility to listen to the vice president of the United States.”
The scenario continued, “The FBI has just received intelligence that a well-resourced domestic terrorist group has planted bombs, including one with cesium-137 – a radioactive isotope –in the arena.”
After being given the domestic terroristic scenario, Guard members were commanded to search for the nuclear bomb inside the stadium that seats over 8,000 people.

Per The Intercept:
AS THE NCAA finishes up March Madness, another type of madness is unfolding as the U.S. military retools its weapons of mass destruction response apparatus to focus not on attacks by familiar foreign terror groups like Al Qaeda or ISIS, but by American citizens.
Late last month, for the first time ever, the National Guard conducted an exercise simulating a frantic search for a nuclear dirty bomb at a basketball and hockey arena in Trenton, New Jersey. What made the exercise different from hundreds of such similar war games held since 9/11 is that purely domestic terrorists were identified as the perpetrators.
“The FBI has just received intelligence that a well-resourced domestic terrorist group has planted bombs, including one with cesium-137 — a radioactive isotope — in the arena,” the military said about the scenario for the exercise. “The clock is ticking.”
The CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton is a multipurpose facility able to seat 8,000. The arena aims to attract more college basketball matches, having hosted Princeton vs. Rutgers in November.
The New Jersey, Delaware and Idaho National Guard participated in interagency chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives training with the FBI and state and local law enforcement March 25-28.

While most Americans were dialed in on the solar eclipse, the FBI quietly released unclassified documents regarding Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran whom a Capitol Police officer killed on January 6th.
On April 8th, the FBI released a highly redacted 69-page file on details of Ashli Babbitt’s death, military background, and testimonies on Babbitt’s character.
On page three of the file, it was written, “BABBITT is deceased, and therefore, this case is not being nominated to TSDB.”
TSDB stands for “the terrorist screening data base.”
The TSDB “contains biographic and biometric identifying information (e.g., name, date of birth, photographs, iris scans, and/or fingerprints) of known and suspected terrorists.”
The fact the FBI even mentioned the TSDB goes to show the FBI viewed Americans inside of the Capitol as “terrorists” rather than American citizens who were simply frustrated with the way the 2020 election was conducted.
The file oddly made no mention of Capitol Police Officer Lt. Michael Byrd but instead generally stated Babbitt was “shot by police.”
The Gateway Pundit was the first publication to correctly identify Michael Byrd as Ashli Babbitt’s cold-blooded killer.
Later in the file, the FBI provides a brief overview of Babbitt’s personal information, such as her fingerprints, DMV records, and details regarding her military service.
Several pages were redacted that contained “anonymous tips” made by unnamed individuals through the FBI’s tip line.
LOOK:
One page of the file was an interview of an individual whose name was redacted.
The individual described Babbitt as a very outgoing and loving person who loved her family and country.
In the same interview, the person stated Ashli would “never go after someone physically.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported Judicial Watch filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government for the death of Babbitt.

Russia’s highest investigative body announced on Tuesday that it has launched an official criminal probe into senior officials in the United States and other NATO countries who are suspected of financing terrorism acts.
According to The Moscow Times, Russia’s Investigative Committee, which is the primary federal investigating authority of Russia, has accused U.S. Senior officials, NATO members, and the Hunter Biden-linked Bursima Holdings of financing terror attacks that have occurred both inside and outside of Russia.
The statement was made in a video released by the Committee but did not refer to a specific terror attack.
The Investigative Committee’s probe comes just a month after 144 people were killed in a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, Russia last month.
In a video, the Investigative Committee shared that money from commercial organizations has been used in Russia to “eliminate prominent political and public figures.”
The Investigative Committee then singled out Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings for being one of the organizations that have allegedly financed terrorism.

Per The Moscow Times:
Russia’s top investigative body announced Tuesday that it has launched a criminal probe into senior officials in the United States and NATO member countries who are suspected of “financing terrorism.”
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said it has “established” that money from commercial organizations had been used to “eliminate prominent political and public figures” inside and outside Russia in recent years, as well as to “inflict economic damage” against the country.
While the Investigative Committee did not specify which terrorist attacks it suspects were funded by Western organizations, the announcement comes as top Russian officials double down on claims that Ukraine and the West were involved in the deadly Crocus City Hall attack last month.
The top law enforcement body named the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as one of the implicated organizations. U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden served as a member of Burisma’s board of directors between 2014 and 2019.
This isn’t the first time Burisma Holdings has been accused of financing terrorism.
Richard Abelson of the Gateway Pundit previously reported that Ukrainian court documents from April of 2022 reveal Burisma was linked to a $5,950,000 payment sent to the Ukrainian foreign intel service GUR.
GUR chief General Kirill Budanov has previously claimed responsibility for assassinating high-profile Russians.

On Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol arrested a woman who reportedly went on a shooting spree on Interstate 10 in Holmes County, Florida, because of the solar eclipse.
Taylon Celestine, 22, has been charged with attempted murder, improper discharge of a firearm, and battery with a deadly weapon.
In a statement to the press, Florida authorities reported Celestine “had recently checked out of a local hotel and told the staff she was going on a shooting spree, directed by ‘God’ in relation to the solar eclipse.”

Florida Highway Patrol reported Celestine was driving a purple Dodge Challenger and began her shooting spree on Interstate 10 at the 112-mile mark when she began firing at a vehicle on the freeway.
The vehicle was struck multiple times, but the driver was able to pull off to the side and did not suffer any injuries.
Celestine continued driving after firing shots at the vehicle and opened fire again on marker 107, where she reportedly shot another vehicle, resulting in the driver being shot in the neck.
The driver of the vehicle was rushed to the hospital, and his medical status is currently being withheld from the public at this time.
Police later found Celestine at mile marker 96, where officers conducted a search of the woman’s vehicle and discovered an AR-15 and a handgun in her car.

During the solar eclipse, NASA launched three sounding rockets into the Earth’s atmosphere on Monday afternoon.
NASA scientists launched the rockets to observe “disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.”
The first rocket was launched 45 minutes before the eclipse, the second rocket was launched during the eclipse, and the third rocket was launched 45 minutes after the eclipse occurred.

Per Fox 5 DC:
On Monday, April 8, NASA plans to launch three sounding rockets into the Earth’s upper atmosphere while the moon partially veils the sun’s luminous disk.
The Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path sounding rockets will blast off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, just so scientists can study the disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.
As the earth spins around its axis, closer to Monday, April 8, anticipation is mounting in the nation’s capital for the celestial spectacle – the highly anticipated “Great North American Eclipse.”
There will be three different launch times: 45 minutes before the peak eclipse, during, and 45 minutes after. NASA states that the different intervals are pivotal for collecting data on how the sun’s sudden disappearance affects the ionosphere — which the space agency says could potentially interfere with our communications on Earth.“Understanding the ionosphere and developing models to help us predict disturbances is crucial to making sure our increasingly communication-dependent world operates smoothly,” said Aroh Barjatya, a professor of engineering physics at Florida’s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus.
Many residents of the East Coast were able to spot the rockets from their homes briefly.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, will smash protons together at nearly the speed of light today during the solar eclipse.
After two years of hibernation, CERN will fire up the world’s largest Large Hadron Collider during the solar eclipse in an attempt to uncover unknown scientific phenomena such as dark energy, dark matter, and what the universe consists of.
According to CERN, the solar eclipse will not affect the beams in the LHC.
CERN website states, “Although the solar eclipse on April 8th will not affect the beams in the LHC, the gravitational pull of the moon, like the tides, changes the shape of the LHC because the machine is so big.”
In 2012, CERN gained worldwide attention after scientists reported finding the Higgs boson particle, also known as the ‘god particle.’
On its site, CERN describes the Large Hadron Collider as the “most powerful accelerator in the world, and it boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark.”

CERN researchers put three beams of protons into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), shooting them down a 17-mile-long tunnel at nearly the speed of light to recreate what happened 13.8 billion years ago.
The LHC smashed the particles together at unprecedented energy to try to blast into existence massive new particles that are secretly powering our universe.
The CERN team began preliminary tests last month by sending billions of protons around the LHC’s ring of superconducting magnets to boost their energy and ensure the $4 billion machine was in working condition.

Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has just signed a bill that will make human compositing legal in the state of Arizona.
Hobbs just signed House Bill 2081, known as the ‘Grandpa in the Garden Bill,’ into law.
This bill will now allow people to turn their loved ones into soil in a process called human composting.
Human composting or natural organic reduction is the process of “breaking down human remains into usable compost or soil that can be returned to the bereaved family or contributed to a conservation area.”
The process involves placing a human body into large tanks containing wood chips, straw, and other natural materials for about four to six weeks until the body turns into soil.
After the composting process is finished, family members can use the soil to plant trees or place the soil in their gardens.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), along with other members of the U.S. intelligence community, are pushing for Congress to expand Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 in order to fight the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
According to the Brennan Center of Justice, Section 702, “Authorizes the government to collect the communications of non-Americans located abroad without a warrant from a court. While this surveillance is supposed to target foreigners, it inevitably sweeps in Americans’ private phone calls, emails, and text messages too.”
USA Today has reported that top CIA officials spent most of 2023-2024 urging members of Congress to reauthorize Section 702 of the FISA Act of 1978.
However, CIA officials believe in its current form, Section 702 limits the intelligence community from targeting everyone involved in the fentanyl trade overseas and are advocating lawmakers to expand Section 702 so U.S. spies will have more liberty when it comes to going after criminals engaged in the fentanyl trade.
Many lawmakers are skeptical of expanding Section 702 due to the CIA previously misusing the law to spy on American citizens.

Per USA Today:
The CIA and broader U.S. intelligence community want to do more to fight the fentanyl crisis killing tens of thousands of Americans a year, and they are quietly pushing Congress to let them expand their use of a controversial and top-secret eavesdropping program to do it, USA TODAY has learned.
Senior intelligence officials have spent the past year trekking to Capitol Hill to push for reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which allows them to conduct warrantless eavesdropping on foreigners overseas.
As the nation’s primary spy outfit, the Central Intelligence Agency in particular says the intelligence collection allowed under Section 702 is urgently needed to thwart transnational organized crime groups manufacturing and smuggling the lethally potent synthetic opioid from China to Mexico and into the U.S.
Currently, the CIA can only use Section 702 against drug traffickers if it can connect them to one of the three “certified” threat groups. Obtaining a so-called “fourth certification” would allow U.S. spies to more freely go after those involved in the fentanyl trade without having to make such connections, the two senior U.S. intelligence officials said.

Per The New York Post:
A massive container ship lost power in the waters around New York City and was brought to a rest near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge Saturday night — less than two weeks after failure on another massive cargo vessel caused it to smash into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The US Coast Guard confirmed that its Vessel Traffic Service received a report that the 89,000-ton M/V Qingdao lost propulsion about 8:30 p.m. as it traversed Kill Van Kull waterway — the shipping lane between Staten Island and Bayonne, New Jersey.
An image shared on X by John Konrad, CEO of maritime-focused news outlet gCaptain, shows the 1,100-foot Qingdao floating uncomfortably close to the span that connects Brooklyn and Staten Island.
In response to the power failure, three tug boats were dispatched to bring the Qingdao under control.
The ship is owned by the French shipping company CMA CGM Group and is registered in Malta.

The month of April has brought extreme natural events all across the globe.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday, a 4.8-magnitude earthquake hit the East Coast just a few days after a major earthquake rocked Taiwan.
Now, Europe’s most active volcano, Mt. Etna, shows signs of mysterious activity.
Since Wednesday, Mount Etna has been blowing mysterious smoke rings into the sky.
According to AP, the smoke rings are called volcanic vortex rings and occur during a rare phenomenon “that is generated by the combination of rapid gas release and the vent shape spewed out of a new crater.”

Per Accu Weather:
They’re not UFOs, angel halos, a bit of Gandalf wizardry, or a “giant smoking and blowing rings,” as one commenter joked.
The series of otherworldly photos Maria Liotta took from her home in Bronte, Sicily, Italy, on April 5, 2024, show a bizarre phenomenon known as “volcanic smoke rings.”
The rings arose from Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano. Etna rises 11,000 feet above the island of Sicily in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. The volcano erupts frequently, and its explosions have been documented for more than 3,500 years.
Until recently, how the smoke rings form wasn’t well understood. Formation requires a calm atmosphere and a circular volcanic vent. And, technically, it isn’t really smoke. When hot volcanic gases are released suddenly from the vent in a short pulse, the gases rush upwards and create a cloud, not unlike plane contrails.

NBA star LeBron James’ oldest son, Bronny, has declared for the NBA draft.
Bronny James, who played his freshman year of college basketball at the University of Southern California, announced he will enter the NBA draft while still maintaining his college eligibility.
On Instagram, Bronny wrote, “I’ve had a year with some ups and downs but all added to growth for me as a man, student, and athlete.”
“I’ve made the decision to enter the NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility and will also be entering the NCAA transfer portal.” added Bronny.
At USC, Bronny had a mediocre freshman year, averaging only 4.8 points per game and only starting in 6 of 25 games for the Trojans.
Bronny’s move comes as his father, LeBron, has let it be known he plans to play on the same team with his son before retiring from the NBA.
