A group of former military lawyers issued a memo Saturday condemning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for allegedly ordering a special operations commander and military personnel to kill everybody aboard an alleged drug-carrying vessel on Sept. 2.The memo from the Former JAGs Working Group came after The Washington Post reported Friday that Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley, who led Joint Special Operations Command at the time, ordered SEAL Team 6 to fire a second strike after the initial strike left two individuals clinging to the wreckage, in compliance with Hegseth’s directive. It was the first strike in the U.S. Southern Command…

This article was originally published by Kevin Huges at Natural News. A Big Data Poll survey shows only 29.1% of Americans now sympathize more with Israel (down from 54% post-Oct. 7), while 21.4% side with Palestinians. Quinnipiac Poll shows 37% support for Israel—an all-time low—compared to 32% for Palestinians. Nearly 40% believe Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide, fueled by over 70,000 Palestinian deaths (including 6,400+ children). Younger generations and nonwhite Americans are driving the shift away from Israel. Initial U.S. support after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack (1,200 Israelis killed) collapsed as Israel’s bombardment intensified, causing mass civilian casualties and starvation in Gaza. Progressive commentator Mehdi Hasan: “It only took 50,000+ dead Palestinians…” Republicans (especially older conservatives)…

This is what out-of-state hunters do for a chance at general season deer and elk tags in Idaho. At least, it’s what they’ve done since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bird flu viruses are able to replicate at higher temperatures, meaning humans are more susceptible to infections, as the viruses beat the fever response. A new study led by the universities of Cambridge and Glasgow and published in Science identified a gene that plays an important role in setting the temperature sensitivity of a virus. According to a report by Medical Xpress, which wrote a report on the study, other deadly pandemics can show how the viruses thrive.  In the pandemics of 1957 and 1968, this gene transferred into human flu viruses, and the resulting virus thrived. The international team led…

United States senator Lindsey Graham says Ukraine’s recent demand for nukes and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) membership is “not reasonably possible.” Graham made the comments to an op-ed by Kiev’s former top military commander, Valery Zaluzhny. In the opinion piece published in The Telegraph on Saturday [behind a paywall], Zaluzhny, now serving as Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, wrote that “effective security guarantees” could include NATO membership, stationing nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory, or “a large allied military contingent capable of confronting Russia.” In a post on X the following day, Graham wrote that the arrangements described by Zaluzhny were “far…
