A group of researchers from the University of California‚ Irvine Department of Physics and Astronomy used computer simulations to show that features observed in real galaxies are difficult to explain without dark matter. This supports the existence of dark matter as the leading model for describing the universe. The group published their findings in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that scientists believe makes up most of the mass of the Universe. Despite its abundance‚ dark matter does not interact with light‚ making it very difficult to detect. In their study‚ the scientists modeled two different forms of matter: regular matter‚ which makes up everything we can see and touch‚ and dark matter. They found that only adding dark matter to the model could explain the strange features observed in the motion of stars and gas in real galaxies. These features are difficult to explain without taking into account the influence of dark matter‚ scientists say. “The features in galaxies the team found are expected to appear in a universe with dark matter but would be difficult to explain in a universe without it; we show that such features appear in observations of many real galaxies‚” said Francisco Mercado‚ Lead Author‚ Department of Physics and Astronomy‚ University of California‚ Irvine. “If we take these data at face value‚ this reaffirms the position of the dark matter model as the one that best describes the universe we live in.” Another group of researchers‚ who were previously skeptical about the existence of dark matter‚ confirmed the results of their colleagues’ work. Existing hypotheses suggest that dark matter could make up up to 85% of the total mass of the Universe. However‚ since it does not interact with light‚ it has not yet been detected by physical methods. A new study provides indirect evidence for the existence of dark matter. Scientists hope their work will help pave the way for direct detection of this mysterious substance.

A Columbia University anti-Israel protest leader held a press conference Tuesday during which she expressed her desire that students occupying Hamilton Hall get &;quot;humanitarian aid&;quot; — you know‚ so they don't &;quot;die of dehydration and starvation.&;quot;While New York City police entered the building Tuesday night and made arrests‚ getting an earful and eyeful of this protest leader and her wish list for her ultra-privileged‚ radical peers is still quite informative. Some might even say entertaining: — (@) A reporter asked her‚ &;quot;Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who've taken over a building&;#63;&;quot;She replied‚ &;quot;Well‚ first of all‚ we're saying that they're obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.&;quot;That's right. Meal plan.The reporter continued: &;quot;You mentioned that there was a request that food and water be brought in.&;quot;If you didn't think the protest leader — garbed in the familiar keffiyeh scarf that's pretty much required clothing for anti-Israel college students — lacked self-awareness before‚ she lets it all hang out from here on in.&;quot;To allow it to be brought in‚&;quot; she said. &;quot;I mean‚ well‚ I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students. Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they disagree with you&;#63; If the answer is no‚ then you should allow basic — I mean‚ it's crazy to say because we are on an Ivy League campus‚ but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for. Like‚ could people please have a glass of water&;#63;&;quot;The reporter‚ refreshingly‚ wasn't buying it.&;quot;But they did put themselves ... very deliberately in that situation‚ in that position‚ so it seems like you're sort of saying‚ 'We wanna be revolutionaries‚ we wanna take over this building — now would you please bring us food and water&;#63;'&;quot;The protest leader replied‚ &;quot;Nobody's asking them to bring anything. We're asking them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.&;quot;Another reporter inquired if Columbia was preventing food from getting to the protesters‚ and the protest leader replied‚ &;quot;We are looking for a commitment from them that they will not stop it. ... I don't know to what extent it has been attempted‚ but we're looking for a commitment.&;quot;Anything else&;#63;In response to the Post Millennial's video of the protest leader‚ journalist Jordan Schachtel added on X that &;quot;I did a quick search and found that this lady‚ who refused to reveal her name‚ is named Johannah King-Slutzky. She is a paid instructor &; PhD candidate at Columbia studying 'theories of the imagination &; poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens.' No‚ I'm not making this up.&;quot;The Post Millennial reported that King-Slutsky had been listed on Columbia's website as a Ph.D. student on Tuesday morning‚ but the page was missing by Tuesday evening. The outlet said King-Slutsky's biography read‚ &;quot;My dissertation is on fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860. My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift‚ Marx’s term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism. I am particularly interested in theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the Romantic imagination. Prior to joining Columbia‚ I worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remain active in the higher education labor movement.&;quot;More from the Post Millennial:King-Slutsky has a long history of activism. In January‚ she attended an event where the head of the UAW was speaking. &;quot;Johannah King-Slutzky‚ a Columbia University graduate student and member of the student workers union within the UAW‚ was one of several attendees who chanted 'ceasefire now' during Fain’s afternoon speech Monday. The union called for a ceasefire in Gaza in December‚&;quot; WHYY reported. “Right now he’s done nothing to earn my vote‚” WHYY reported King-Slutzky as saying‚ because “he has not acted with urgency to stop the genocide in Gaza.” In 2021‚ she participated in a campus strike of graduate student workers.

Russell Brand has been an openly spiritual person‚ but his recent conversion to Christianity has many asking if he’s truly a Christian or simply a New Ager. “He’s certainly a critical thinker‚” Allie Beth Stuckey says. “Over the past couple of years‚ we’ve seen him question a lot of progressive propaganda and I would say just mainstream propaganda.” Stuckey believes it’s possible that Brand’s skepticism has led him down a path toward Christianity. “These powerful institutions are not worth placing our hope and trust in‚ and when you start to realize that‚ when you start to realize that all of these man-made entities are filled with sinful and deceitful people and we still find ourselves longing for someone to be in charge of us‚ longing for someone to give us order‚ longing for someone to tell us the truth.” “That can really only be fulfilled not through the government‚ not through the state‚ not through health entities‚ not through scientists‚ but through the God who created all things‚ who transcends all earthly power‚” Stuckey continues. While no one can truly be sure what Brand’s true intentions are‚ it’s not on us to decide. “I am hopeful‚ I am optimistic in the same way that I was with Kanye West. And as I said last week with Jason Whitlock‚ I do not regret being hopeful about West‚” Stuckey explains. Just as she doesn’t regret being hopeful for Kanye West‚ who has recently announced his new porn website — she won’t regret being hopeful for Russell Brand. “I will pray for him as I pray for all of us‚ and I will pray especially though for someone like him‚ who does have a public platform and will be receiving a lot of push back and a lot of temptation‚ maybe even more than most‚ just that he would stay grounded and rooted in Christ.”

The Biden administration is quietly loading Florida up with foreign nationals who have no business being in the country by way of the Department of Homeland Security's controversial Cuban‚ Haitian‚ Nicaraguan‚ and Venezuelan (CHNV) mass-parole program. This apparent illegal-immigration workaround‚ which Republicans have called &;quot;unlawful‚&;quot; could prove impactful for the Sunshine State as well as for the rest of the country. After all‚ the DHS' imports are likely to put additional stress on citizen resources in Florida‚ such as hospitals‚ which a recent report indicates were put out $566 million last year on account of illegal aliens. Background The Biden DHS launched the CHNV parole program in late 2022 in an apparent effort to both spare prospective illegal aliens from having to jump the border and to lower the Biden administration's egregious border-jumper statistics. The DHS announced in January 2023 that prospective CHNV migrants &;quot;who have a supporter in the United States‚ undergo and clear robust security vetting‚ and meet other eligibility criteria&;quot; can apply for advance authorization to fly to an interior port of entry in the United States. The program grants up to a two-year parole for up to 30‚000 CHNV nationals per month. A U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Texas noted in March that by June 2023‚ the DHS had approved 97.5% of the applications for CHNV nationals. U.S. Customs and Border Protection indicated that as of March‚ &;quot;404‚000 Cubans‚ Haitians‚ Nicaraguans‚ and Venezuelans arrived lawfully on commercial flights and were granted parole under these processes. Specifically‚ 86‚000 Cubans‚ 168‚000 Haitians‚ 77‚000 Nicaraguans‚ 102‚000 Venezuelans were vetted and authorized for travel; and 84‚000 Cubans‚ 154‚000 Haitians‚ 69‚000 Nicaraguans‚ and 95‚000 Venezuelans arrived lawfully and were granted parole.&;quot; Upon the implementation of the program‚ 21 states filed suit‚ claiming that the program exceeds the authority of the DHS and its secretary‚ Alejandro Mayorkas; failed to include a notice and comment period; and is arbitrary and capricious. The states' complaint suggested the DHS has &;quot;effectively created a new visa program — without the formalities of legislation from Congress.&;quot; &;quot;The parole program established by the Department fails each of the law's three limiting factors. It is not case-by-case‚ is not for urgent humanitarian reasons‚ and advances no significant public benefit‚&;quot; continued the complaint. &;quot;The Department does not have the authority to invite more than a third of a million more illegal aliens into the United States annually as it has announced with this program.&;quot; Texas also argued that the CHNV program was also harmful because migrants approved under the scheme qualify for state services such as health care and public education‚ reported the Texas Tribune. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton ruled in favor of the Biden administration on March 8‚ enabling the scheme to keep going. Damning figures On Tuesday‚ House Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee revealed some troubling details about the Biden Department of Homeland Security's CHNV scheme. According to the internal data the committee obtained via subpoena‚ 1.6 million inadmissible aliens were awaiting travel authorizations through the CHNV program as of October 2023. If accepted by the DHS‚ as most are‚ then they would join more than 400‚000 others‚ including the roughly 200‚000 migrants flown into the U.S. then processed by the DHS under the program between January and August — the bulk of whom ended up in Florida. The committee indicated during that 8-month window‚ 91‚821 migrants flew into Miami‚ Florida; 60‚461 flew into Ft. Lauderdale; 6‚043 flew into Orlando; and 3‚237 flew into Tampa under the program. The top 15 airport locations used for the CHNV program also included New York City‚ which received 14‚827 between January and August 2023; Houston‚ 7‚923; Los Angeles‚ 3‚237; Dallas‚ 2‚256; San Francisco‚ 2‚052; Atlanta‚ 1‚796; and Washington‚ D.C.‚ which received 1‚472. — (@) The internal DHS documents apparently indicate that none of the migrants have a legal basis to enter the U.S.‚ explicitly stating‚ &;quot;All individuals paroled into the United States are‚ by definition‚ inadmissible‚ including those paroled under the CHNV Processes.&;quot; Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.)‚ chairman of the committee‚ said in a statement‚ &;quot;These documents expose the egregious lengths Secretary Mayorkas will go to ensure inadmissible aliens reach every corner of the country‚ from Orlando and Atlanta to Las Vegas and San Francisco. Secretary Mayorkas' CHNV parole program is an unlawful sleight of hand used to hide the worsening border crisis from the American people.&;quot; &;quot;Implementing a program that allows otherwise inadmissible aliens to fly directly into the U.S. — not for significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian reasons as the Immigration and Nationality Act mandates — has been proven an impeachable offense‚&;quot; added Green. Jeremy Redfern‚ press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)‚ told Fox News in a statement‚ &;quot;Biden's parole program is unlawful‚ and constitutes an abuse of constitutional authority. Florida is currently suing Biden to shut it down‚ and we believe that we will prevail.&;quot; Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Recent UFC champion and perennial wildcard Sean Strickland stated that he's sick of seeing foreign flags flying in America‚ asking those who do so to &;quot;just go back.&;quot;The former middleweight champion has made headlines for the better part of a year due to his controversial comments‚ which have even included calling out video game companies and Navy SEALs.Strickland has recently taken a stand against foreign flags being flown in the United States:&;quot;I'm so sick of seeing foreign flags in America.. I don't get it‚&;quot; Strickland wrote on X. &;quot;You left your corrupt country to come to the USA and yet you still rep what you fled&;#63; The worst is Hispanics born in America flying a Mexican flag..

John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. holding Israeli flags.&;quot;Yep‚&;quot; Strickland replied. @StopZionistHate Yep — (@) Parsing through Strickland's messaging‚ it is often the case in mixed martial arts that fighters will fly flags related to their ethnic background or birthplace as opposed to the country of their permanent residence. While there are few controversial topics Strickland hasn't spoken at length about‚ he has made many comments about both Israel and Ukraine. &;quot;105 billion to Israel and Ukraine.... Yall its time for the revolution......Its time... America can't be fixed at this point‚&;quot; he said in October 2023.In February 2024‚ Strickland responded to claims that he hates the countries that the U.S. government provides aid for.&;quot;'You hate Palestine' 'you hate jews' 'you hate Ukraine' I am an American. I hate every year my dollar [is] less and you all have to work harder and longer for less because these c***s spend your money on other countries‚&;quot; Strickland wrote before escalating his tone. &;quot;YOUR SIDE IS AMERICA F*** THESE POLITICIANS. TRAITORS&;#33;&;quot; &;quot;you hate Palestine&;quot; \n&;quot;you hate jews&;quot;\n &;quot;you hate Ukraine&;quot;\n\nI am an American.I hate every year my dollar less and you all have to work harder and longer for less because these cunts spend your money on other countries\n\nYOUR SIDE IS AMERICA FUCK THESE POLITICIANS. TRAITORS&;#33; — (@) Strickland is also consistently asked by readers why he doesn't mention specific countries when he calls for the end of U.S. funding to other nations. The fighter has addressed this on multiple occasions.Shortly after the Palestinian attack on Israel‚ when the fighter declared that he didn't care about other countries‚ he was criticized for not outright declaring support for a &;quot;free Palestine.&;quot;&;quot;You're right... Free Palestine&;#33;&;#33; Did it work&;#63; Are they free yet&;#63;&;#63;&;quot; Strickland asked an X user. &;quot;What I'm saying it doesn't matter what you post‚ what you say....

To no one’s real surprise‚ all hell is breaking loose from within the Biden administration‚ as a coup had reportedly been hatched to remove press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. An article from the New York Post reports: “Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door.” But Jean-Pierre isn’t backing down. The Post has also reported that the “first black and first openly gay person to hold the position” has “been pretty consistent in telling people from the minute she got the job that she was going to stay through the election” and that she is going to stay “hell or high water.” Dave Rubin is thrilled. “Do you guys realize how absolutely spectacularly beautiful this is&;#63;” Rubin asks. “They hired this woman because she was a black lesbian. She was not qualified. She has been in over her head on all of this. She’s unbelievably awful‚ she cannot answer a question honestly.” “Everyone thinks she’s a liar and not competent at what her job is‚ but congratulations Democrats‚ you went all in on DEI‚” he continues‚ noting that despite Biden’s age and clear signs of dementia — they’re afraid she’s ruining his chance at re-election. “You can see in the polls that everyone’s turning against him‚ and you put her out there to defend you‚ and you’re afraid if you replace her now she’ll burn you down ‘cause she’ll say you fired the black lesbian. I love you people‚” Rubin says.

The Biden administration is weighing bringing some Palestinians from Gaza to the United States as &;quot;refugees‚&;quot; according to a Tuesday report from CBS News.The media outlet obtained documents that revealed senior officials with several federal agencies are discussing where to &;quot;resettle&;quot; Palestinians looking to flee. Palestine nationals &;quot;with U.S. ties&;quot; who have already left Gaza and relocated to Egypt could be brought to the U.S. under the United States Refugee Admissions Program‚ according to the inter-agency documents obtained by CBS News. Those still in Gaza with family members who are American citizens or permanent residents could also be processed through the program‚ the documents stated. CBS News reported that the floated plan would require coordination with Egypt‚ which has refused to take Palestinians.The program‚ created in 1980‚ has been used to relocate over 400‚000 foreign nationals but has never been used to resettle large numbers of Palestinians.According to the news outlet‚ to qualify for refugee status‚ the individuals would have to pass eligibility‚ medical‚ and security screenings. The program would provide permanent residency‚ housing assistance‚ and a path to citizenship. The &;quot;eligible population is expected to be relatively small‚&;quot; CBS News claimed.A recent Arab World for Research and Development poll found that 75% of Palestinians supported Hamas' October 7 terrorist attack that slaughtered Israeli citizens. Approximately 76% said they had a favorable view of Hamas.&;quot;Respondents were universally negative in assessing the role of the United States of America (USA) and Israel‚&;quot; the poll's results read.A White House spokesperson told the outlet that the Biden administration &;quot;has helped more than 1‚800 American citizens and their families leave Gaza‚ many of whom have come to the United States. At President Biden's direction‚ we have also helped‚ and will continue to help‚ some particularly vulnerable individuals‚ such as children with serious health problems and children who were receiving treatment for cancer‚ get out of harm's way and receive care at nearby hospitals in the region.&;quot;The spokesperson added that the administration &;quot;categorically rejects any actions leading to the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza. The best path forward is to achieve a sustainable cease-fire through a hostage deal that will stabilize the situation and pave the way to a two-state solution.&;quot;U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman (D) from New York said he &;quot;fully support[s]&;quot; the proposed plan.&;quot;We are a land of immigrants and we are a land of asylum-seekers‚&;quot; Bowman stated during a recent interview. &;quot;Anyone escaping persecution and oppression and violence‚ the United States has always been an open home to those people. So whether they're coming from Palestine‚ Honduras‚ Guatemala‚ El Salvador‚ Mexico‚ Haiti‚ they're coming here to contribute to our economy‚ which 99.9% of them are. We've always been a place to open our doors to immigrants coming here‚ so‚ yeah‚ fully support that.&;quot;&;quot;And also fully support amnesty for the migrants who have been here for quite some time‚&;quot; he added.U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R) from South Carolina called the Biden administration's potential plan &;quot;hogwash.&;quot;&;quot;President Biden consistently undermines our national security with reckless decisions like this. We have no clue who is coming into our country‚ whether on our southern border or from war-torn regions run by terrorists‚&;quot; Scott wrote on X.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
