Days after House Republicans proposed renaming the Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Donald Trump‚ Democrats introduced a bill seeking to put Trumps name on a different place: a federal prison.Reps. Gerry Connolly (D-VA)‚ John Garamendi (D-CA)‚ and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) introduced legislation on Friday that would change the name of the Miami Federal Correctional Institution which is the closest federal prison to Trumps Florida home at Mar-a-Lago to Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution‚ The Hill reported. The proposal was a direct response to a Republican-sponsored bill introduced earlier this week that would name the Washington Dulles Airport after the former president.When our Republican colleagues introduced their bill to rename Dulles after Donald Trump‚ I said the more fitting option would be to rename a federal prison‚ said Connolly in a press release. I see no reason to wait. Donald Trump faces nearly 100 felony charges. He has been found liable of sexual abuse and‚ subsequently‚ for defaming the victim of that abuse. He has been fined hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil fraud case. It is only right that the closest federal prison to Mar-a-Lago should bear his name. I hope our Republican friends will join us in bestowing upon Donald J. Trump the only honor he truly deserves.Trump‚ who is currently leading in the polls for the 2024 presidential election‚ faces 88 criminal charges spread across four different indictments‚ including in Florida‚ where special counsel Jack Smith has charged Trump with mishandling classified documents after leaving office. Each of the four criminal cases against the leading presidential candidate has hit various roadblocks‚ and none of the trials have yet begun.The New York hush money case‚ where Trump is accused of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up alleged payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels‚ will likely be the first trial against Trump to get off the ground as it is scheduled to begin on April 15. The case is widely viewed as the weakest criminal case brought against the former president.Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA)‚ the chief deputy whip of the House GOP‚ announced on Tuesday that he was leading the endeavor to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the Donald J. Trump International Airport.As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport‚ there is no better symbol of freedom‚ prosperity‚ and strength than hearing Welcome to Trump International Airport as they land on American soil‚ Reschenthaler said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPThe bill to rename the airport is co-sponsored by Reps. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN)‚ Paul Gosar (R-AZ)‚ Troy Nehls (R-TX)‚ Andy Ogles (R-TN)‚ Barry Moore (R-AL)‚ and Mike Waltz (R-FL).Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report.

White House visitor logs showed that an attorney for Hunter Biden met with one of First Lady Jill Bidens top aides as well as President Joe Biden himself days before the presidents son defied a congressional subpoena‚ the New York Post (NYP) reported Saturday.Hunters attorney Abbe Lowell had a meeting with Anthony Bernal‚ who has been an aide for Jill since 2008‚ in the East Wing of the White House on December 11‚ 2023‚ according to the NYP. Visitor logs also showed that Lowell met with Joe Biden‚ but the Post noted that meeting was most likely in the context of an official Hanukkah reception held the same day.Weve called on the White House to provide information about whether President Biden sought to influence or obstruct our investigation by preventing‚ discouraging‚ or dissuading his son from complying with the subpoenas for a deposition as part of the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry‚ but the White House has refused to provide any information‚ House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told the Post.The White House must provide the public with information about the contents of this meeting in order to provide transparency to the American people‚ he added.Two days after Lowell visited the White House‚ Hunter skipped his scheduled deposition with congressional investigators regarding the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into the president. Thepresidents brother‚ James Biden‚ as well asHunter Bidens art dealer and business associates‚ had also received congressional subpoenas.Hunter did show up on Capitol Hill the day he was supposed to sit down for the deposition‚ but instead of meeting with investigators‚ he held an impromptu press conference‚ denyingthat his father was financially involved in his business affairs‚ including in dealings abroad with people from China and Ukraine‚ as well as his investments domestically and work as an artist.White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later remarked that Joe Biden was familiar with what Hunter planned to say at the press conference.Under threat of being held in contempt of Congress by House Republicans‚ Hunter finally agreed to sit down for a deposition in late February. In the transcript for the deposition‚ Hunter confirmed that his father was‚ in fact‚ the big guy referenced in a message related to a proposed business deal with a Chinese company.Hunter declined an invitation in March to testify in a public hearing before the Oversight Committee‚ with Lowell citing a scheduling conflict.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPWeve proven the crimes. Now its time to hold people accountable for the crimes and Joe Biden needs to answer some questions in front of the Oversight Committee‚ Comer told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo during a Wednesday interview. Weve had three Biden associates that said [President Biden] was the closer of selling the Biden brand.Comer and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed Devon Archer‚ one of Hunters former business associates‚ on Thursday to hand over documents that had originally been requested in August 2023 related to Biden family business dealings.Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Friday that it took full responsibility for an airstrike that tragically killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers inside Gaza.The strike happened on Monday during an operation to transfer humanitarian aid from the WCK to the Gaza Strip‚ the IDF said in a statement following the conclusion of an independent investigation into the incident carried out by the Joint Chiefs of Staffs Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism (FFAM).While the vehicles that the WCK workers were traveling in were properly marked‚ the markings were not visible to the cameras that were monitoring the vehicles because the mission took place at night.The IDF identified a gunman on one of the aid trucks‚ following which they identified an additional gunman‚ the report said. After the vehicles left the warehouse where the aid had been unloaded‚ one of the commanders mistakenly assumed that the gunmen were located inside the accompanying vehicles and that these were Hamas terrorists. The forces did not identify the vehicles in question as being associated with WCK. Following a misidentification by the forces‚ the forces targeted the three WCK vehicles based on the misclassification of the event and misidentification of the vehicles as having Hamas operatives inside them‚ with the resulting strike leading to the deaths of seven innocent humanitarian aid workers.The IDF said that the strikes were carried out in serious violation of the IDFs Standard Operating Procedures and that there were serious errors in decision-making that occurred.The IDF announced the following changes in command were to be implemented effective immediately: the brigade fire support commander‚ an officer with the rank of major‚ will be dismissed from his position; the brigade chief of staff‚ an officer with the rank of colonel in reserve‚ will be dismissed from his position; additionally‚ the brigade commander and the 162nd Division commander will be formally reprimanded; and the IDF Chief of Staff decided to formally reprimand the commander of the Southern Command for his overall responsibility for the incident.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPThe IDF takes seriously the grave incident that claimed the lives of seven innocent humanitarian aid workers‚ the statement said.

There has been an update on next weeks solar eclipse path of totality map that will affect people living on the very edge of the previous map. This weekend‚ experts announced that the viewing area on April‚ 8 is slightly narrower than the 115-mile-wide path scientists previously calculated. So cities such as Fort Wayne‚ IN‚ and Denton‚ TX‚ may not get a full show as they had expected. By accounting for the topography of both the moon and the Earth‚ precise eclipse prediction has brought new attention to a tiny but real uncertainty about the size of the Sun‚ said NASA Heliophysics Editorial Lead Abbey Interrante‚ per WKRN. The reason the suns size factors in is that the shadow produced by the moon shrinks as the suns size grows. Scientists used a smaller sun size in the former calculation. John Irwin‚ an eclipse calculator‚ noticed the problem recently. He released an updated solar eclipse path of totality map‚ which you can find here. Eclipse Calculators Had Been Using The Same Solar Radius Since The Late 1800sOne of Irwins collaborators‚ Luca Quaglia‚ told Forbes that the computer had plugged in the numbers and it used a solar radius of959.63 arc seconds‚ which is the same number scientists had been using since the late 1800s. According to Quaglia‚ measurements and observations from the last decade have shown that value to be slightly too small. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NASA (@nasa) Irwins updated map measured the solar radius of 959.95 arc seconds. The new value narrows the path of totality by about 2‚000 feet. The slight adjustment isnt bad news‚ however. People who live on the outskirts of the old map can easily drive into the new viewing area. This difference would only affect cities on the very edge of the path of totality‚ where blanket predictions are difficult regardless a few city blocks one way or the other could mean 20‚ 10‚ or 0 seconds of totality‚ said Abbey. Traveling towards the center of the path of totality even a mile or two will quickly increase the length of totality that people can see.Driving those few miles will be worth the hassle‚ too. The contiguous United States wont see another total solar ecplise until August 23‚ 2044. You can find the source of this storys featured image here.

Were only days away from seeing a rare total solar eclipse‚ which will offer up to four minutes and 23 seconds of striking cosmic views. During that time‚ you may notice some strange occurrences. Read on to learn more!1. Radio Waves Will Scramble If youre listening to old-school radios during the eclipse‚ you will likely notice some interference. While it may seem unnerving‚ NASA says there is a perfectly scientific explanation behind the occurrence. This is primarily due to the sudden reduction in solar radiation reaching the Earths atmosphere during the eclipse‚ the organization wrote in a post. Since the ionosphere contains charged particles (ions and electrons) and is responsible for reflecting and refracting radio waves‚ changes to the ionosphere can also affect radio communications and navigation systems.The changes make it difficult for the radio waves to propagate through the ionosphere‚ which means listeners and users may notice a loss of signal or refraction. 2. Temperatures Will Plunge Much of the United States will enjoy warm weather on Mondaybut bring a coat for the solar eclipse anyway. Most people will feel a downward shift of five to ten degrees as the event nears totality. But the temperature could drop as much as 20 degrees. According to the National Eclipse‚ an 88% partial eclipse in 1834 caused the temperature to drop 28 degrees. Much more recently‚ an eclipse in Zambia led to a 15-degree drop. The reason for the shifts is the same reason nighttime air feels chillierthe absence of the sun. 3. Animals Will Act Bizzare The quick shift from day to night wont just confuse the weather. It will also confuse the animals. At the total solar eclipse happens‚ the birds will abruptly stop singing and the crickets may take over for them. Farm animals could also walk back to their barns thinking its time for bed. Your cats and dogs could also behave strangely‚ according to Erica Cartmill‚ a professor of anthropology‚ animal behavior‚ and cognitive science at Indiana University. Some pets may just curl up for a nap while others may act anxious. Fortunately‚ there are simple ways to ease their nerves. The eerieness created by the wildlife is so striking that NASA is asking people to help them study how the total solar eclipse affects animals by participating in its Eclipse Soundscapes project. 4. Shadows Will Look OtherworldlyShadows will not act as they normally do during the eclipse. As the event begins‚ you will see the formation of whats called shadow bands. These look like the wavy water lines you see at the bottom of pools. Interestingly‚ NASA hasnt figured out what causes shadow bands quite yet‚ but scientists believe it could have something to do with distortions in our planets atmosphere. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Annie Clements (@annieclements) As the eclipse continues‚ youll notice that the shadows created by trees and other objects will be flecked with crescent shapes. So be sure to take a moment away from the sun to check out these two phenomenons. 5. The Cosmos Will Offer Several Unusual Sights The moon passing over the sun wont be the only awe-inspiring sight in the sky during the eclipse. You may also witness solar prominences and Baileys beads.Solar prominences are gorgeous rises in the suns surface that will appear as bright pink flower petals behind the moon‚ and the event will happen near solar maximum‚ which is when the suns activity is at its highest. So the occurrences will be extra spectacular. Eclipses offer the only opportunity to see Solar prominences with the naked eyewith protective eye gear. Bailys beads‚ named after astronomerFrancis Baily‚ are dots of bright silver lights that line the moon. The phenomenon happens when sunlight plays off the moons topography.Learn more about the solar eclipse here and here. You can find the source of this storys featured image here.
