A massive crowd attended the campaign rally for former President Donald Trump on Saturday in the deep blue state of New Jersey. In the nearly 90-minute campaign event in Wildwood, Trump touched on President Joe Biden's policies, his "show trials," pro-Palestinian campus protests, the state of the economy, and the border crisis. The event marked Trump's return to Wildwood for his first campaign rally in the south Jersey Shore town since his 2020 re-election bid. Some Trump supporters started lining up on the boardwalk on Wednesday night in anticipation of Saturday's rally. Lisa Fagan – spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, N.J. – told the Associated Press that she estimated the attendance at the rally to be between 80,000 and 100,000 people, based on her own observations of having seen “dozens” of other events in the same space.Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano, a Republican, said the Trump rally is a boon for the town. "Any time that you can have a president or a candidate for president come to your community, it's a win-win. It's an economic feast for the businesses," said Troiano.North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum warmed up the crowd ahead of Trump speaking at the rally. Burgum is reportedly on Trump's short list of vice president candidates. NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor also spoke at the Trump rally. Trump took aim at Biden – calling the Democratic president "a total moron.""He’s a fool. He’s not a smart man," Trump said of Biden. Trump claimed that Biden is "surrounded by fascists."Trump told the huge crowd that "the gloves are off" because he blames Biden for his indictments, including his ongoing hush money criminal trial in New York City."I talk about him differently now because now the gloves are off. He’s a bad guy, should’ve never done that because it’s so bad for our country," he said of Biden. Trump proclaimed that he would be rooting out America's “enemies from within.”"We have enemies on the outside and we have enemies from within," the former president declared. "The enemies from within are more dangerous to me than the enemies on the outside. Russia and China we can handle, but these lunatics within our government that are gonna destroy our country, and probably want to, we have to get it stopped."He continued, "They rigged the whole thing with the Department of Justice. I've been indicted more than the great Alphonse Capone."Trump vowed, "Instead of a Biden tax hike, I'll give you a Trump middle class, upper class, lower class, business class big tax cut. You're going to have the biggest tax cut."Trump made the bold declaration that he would win the state of New Jersey in the November presidential election. "We’re going to officially play in the state of New Jersey. We’re going to win New Jersey," Trump proclaimed on stage against the backdrop of a Ferris wheel and roller coaster.In the 2020 presidential election, Trump lost to Biden by nearly 16 points. The last time a Republican presidential candidate won New Jersey was in 1988 – when Republican Vice President George H. W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis.Like Blaze News?

Biden Proves How Economically Illiterate He Is With Latest Vote Buying Remarks Over Housing

US Restaurants, Bars Are Falling on Hard Times Because of Bidenomics

Experts say President Joe Biden's demand for Israel to not invade Rafah "makes no sense," because it merely permits terrorists to survive and thrive, ultimately extending the death and suffering in Gaza.

In February 2022, SpaceX and entrepreneur/philanthropist Jared Isaacman (commander of the Inspiration4 mission) announced they were launching a new program to “rapidly advance human spaceflight capabilities” while supporting important charitable and humanitarian causes here on Earth. It’s called the Polaris Program. In a recent press release, SpaceX revealed the spacesuits its Polaris astronauts will be wearing (up top) and described the research crews will conduct during the program’s three human spaceflight missions – the first of which is scheduled to launch this summer! These missions will build on the company’s experience with NASA’s Commercial Crew Delivery (CCD) program, where NASA certified SpaceX’s Crew Dragon vehicle to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS). According to the company’s press statement, the new suits are an evolution of the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit currently used by Dragon crews. This included the crew of the Demo-2 mission, which validated the flight system and was the first crewed mission to take off from U.S. soil since the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011. It was also the suit worn by the Inspiration4 crew as they became the first flight to be crewed entirely by private citizens. These latest are known as the Extravehicular Activity Space Suit, which has several new features. Per the company’s press statement, “Developed with mobility in mind, SpaceX teams incorporated new materials, fabrication processes, and novel joint designs to provide greater flexibility to astronauts in pressurized scenarios while retaining comfort for unpressurized scenarios.” The suit also has redundancy features, such as additional seals and pressure valves to help ensure the suit remains pressurized during EVAs. The new 3D-printed helmet incorporates a new visor that reduces glare and features a camera and a new Heads-Up Display (HUD) that monitors conditions inside the suit. These suits will make their debut during the first of three Polaris missions – Polaris Dawn – scheduled to take place this summer (at the earliest). This mission will be commanded by Isaacman and will see a Crew Dragon launched from Launch Complex 39A atop a Falcon 9 rocket. The crew will spend five days in orbit and attempt to reach the highest Earth orbit ever flown. During their time in space, the Polaris Dawn crew will conduct the first commercial spacewalk (and the first EVA where four astronauts were in space simultaneously) and be the first to test the Starlink laser-based communication system in space. The crew will also conduct scientific research in collaboration with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), BioServe Space Technologies, Space Technologies Lab, Weill Cornell Medicine, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the U.S. Air Force Academy. These efforts are designed to advance our understanding of human health during long-duration spaceflights, with applications for health here on Earth. According to the company website, these research activities will include: Using ultrasound to monitor, detect, and quantify venous gas emboli (VGE), contributing to studies on human prevalence to decompression sickness; Gathering data on the radiation environment to better understand how space radiation affects human biological systems; Providing biological samples towards multi-omics analyses for a long-term Biobank; and Research related to Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), which is a key risk to human health in long-duration spaceflight. Polaris Dawn will be followed up by a second mission (Polaris II, the date of which is TBD) that will attempt to build upon these objectives. The third mission (Polaris III) will be the first human spaceflight involving the Starship and Super Heavy launch vehicle. But as is made clear in the company’s statement, the suits are intended to fulfill SpaceX’s long-term goals: “While Polaris Dawn will be the first time the SpaceX EVA suit is used in low-Earth orbit, the suit’s ultimate destiny lies much farther from our home planet. Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require the development of a scalable design for the millions of spacesuits required to help make life multiplanetary.” Further Reading: SpaceX, Polaris Program The post SpaceX Shows Off Its New Extravehicular Activity Suit appeared first on Universe Today.
