NASA Joins the Quest: The Loch Ness Monster Hunt Intensifies

In a remarkable fusion of folklore and cutting-edge technology‚ the Loch Ness Monster Centre has extended an official invitation to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to join the quest for one of the worlds most enigmatic creaturesNessie‚ the Loch Ness Monster. This collaboration marks a new chapter in the storied search for the elusive beast that has captured imaginations for decades.The Loch Ness Monster Centre‚ a hub for all things Nessie‚ is orchestrating what is poised to be the grandest monster hunt in recent memory.

This years hunt is not just a search; its a call to arms for experts across various fields to contribute their knowledge and technology in pursuit of the legendary creature.The spotlight shines on NASA‚ whose participation could revolutionize the search. The Centres marketing manager‚ Aimee Todd‚ expressed hope that NASAs advanced imaging technologies could peer into the lochs depths like never before.We are hoping that experts from NASA might have some advanced imaging technology to scan the loch‚ said Loch Ness Centre marketing manager Aimee Todd.We would have to sit down and talk to them about how to get it here.The timing of the search is symbolic‚ coinciding with the 90th anniversary of the first major expedition led by Sir Edward Mountain in 1934. The historical resonance adds a layer of gravity to the proceedings‚ honoring the legacy of explorers who have sought the truth behind the legend.Last years search garnered international attention‚ drawing participants from across the globe.

ABC Protects Biden‚ OMITS Brutal 20th Century Gaffe From Quote On Arizona Abortion Law

We regret to inform you all that the Regime Media is at it again. ABC News‚ in its capacity as the most consistently pro-Biden of the network evening newscasts‚ excised the most damaging part of a quote from the president on the recently-affirmed 1864 Arizona statute banning abortion in all instances except to save the life of the mother.Watch as correspondent Rachel Scott closes out her report‚ with all the subtlety of a tank‚ from in front of a Planned Parenthood in Phoenix‚ Arizona:RACHEL SCOTT: Today‚ the Biden campaign saying Donald Trump set out to overturn abortion rights in America‚ and he did. Insisting Trump ";owns the suffering and chaos happening right now."; And when asked his message to the people of Arizona‚ a key campaign battleground‚ tonight‚ President Biden was blunt -- ";Elect me.";WHIT JOHNSON: Rachel Scott with us now from Phoenix. And Rachel‚ as you noted there‚ Republican lawmakers tonight blocking Democrats'; efforts to repeal that 160-year-old abortion ban. So bottom line here‚ where do things stand right now in Arizona?SCOTT: Whit‚ Arizona is in a state of limbo. The Supreme Court here in Arizona put that ruling on hold for 14 days. Democrats and Republicans were racing to try to repeal that law before it went into effect. Well‚ tonight‚ Republicans blocking those efforts. The Democratic governor Katie Hobbs calling their actions unconscionable‚ saying that the Republican majority had a chance to do the right thing‚ and tonight they failed. Whit.JOHNSON: Rachel‚ thank you.Except that this wasnt ACTUALLY what Biden said- bluntly or otherwise. Leave it to the throne-sniffingest newscast to leave out the most damaging part of an absolutely brutal gaffe wherein Biden tells the world‚ in front of the Prime Minister of Japan‚ that he is in the 20th Century.Joe Biden: Elect Me‚ Im in the 20th Century pic.twitter.com/g5CSyqcMM8 Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) April 10‚ 2024This is another one of those instances where Biden was in the clear but decides to take that one last question. And it bit him again. Once you see the actual quote in its full context‚ you can tell that it is not blunt at all- and to suggest otherwise is to traffic in regime propaganda.Both CBS and NBC accurately reflected the gaffe in their reporting about the Arizona territorial law. Their reports‚ like this one‚ served the general purpose of advancing pro-abortion narrative and falsely framing former President Donald Trumps criticism of the Arizona Supreme Courts ruling as a flip-flop on abortion and inconsistent with the belief that abortion should be left to the states.Only ABC made the choice to try to hide an easily findable gaffe within an A-block story on a deeply divisive topic. Why‚ you ask? In order to protect Biden. As usual.Click expand to view the full transcript of the aforementioned interview as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Wednesday‚ April 10th‚ 2024:WHIT JOHNSON: Tonight‚ growing backlash after Arizona';s Supreme Court upheld a law from 1864 that criminalizes all abortions‚ except to save the mother';s life. Republican lawmakers in the state blocking Democratic efforts to repeal it. The issue sure to be a flash point in the race for the White House. Donald Trump‚ who just this week said states should decide their own abortion policy‚ now saying Arizona went too far. ABC';s Rachel Scott is in Phoenix tonight.PROTESTERS: Shame on you! Shame on you!RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight‚ outrage in Arizona. Republican lawmakers in the state capitol blocking Democrats'; efforts to roll back a 160-year-old law banning abortion with only one exception‚ to save the life of the mother.PROTESTERS: Save women';s lives!SCOTT: It comes 24 hours after the Arizona Supreme Court upheld the law‚ written before Arizona was even a state‚ and before women had the right to vote. Donald Trump‚ who just this week said states should decide their own abortion policy‚ today saying Arizona went too far.Reporter: Did Arizona go too far?DONALD TRUMP: Yeah‚ they did‚ and that will be straightened out. And‚ as you know‚ it';s all about states'; rights. That will be straightened out.SCOTT: It comes as Trump tries to recast his own position on abortion‚ sensing it';s become a losing issue for Republicans. He now says he';s proud of appointing three of the six Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe versus Wade‚ but that abortion policy should be up to the states.TRUMP: It was an incredible thing‚ an incredible achievement. We did that. And now‚ the states have it‚ and the states are putting out what they want. It';s the will of the people.SCOTT: Just weeks ago‚ Trump was floating the idea of a national ban on abortion‚ but today‚ he said he would not sign one.REPORTER: President Trump‚ would you sign a national abortion ban if congress sent it to your desk?TRUMP: No.SCOTT: Over the years‚ Trump';s position on abortion has swung back and forth --TRUMP: I am very pro-choice. I';m pro-life.TRUMP: Trump once said there should be some sort of punishment for women who get abortions‚ a position he quickly walked back. Today‚ he refused to say whether he believes doctors should face punishment for performing abortions‚ as they do right now in Arizona and other states.REPORTER: Do you think a doctor should be punished for performing abortions?TRUMP: I';ll let that be to the states. Everything we';re doing now is states.SCOTT: Today‚ the Biden campaign saying Donald Trump set out to overturn abortion rights in America‚ and he did. insisting Trump ";owns the suffering and chaos happening right now."; And when asked his message to the people of Arizona‚ a key campaign battleground‚ tonight‚ President Biden was blunt -- ";Elect me.";JOHNSON: Rachel Scott with us now from Phoenix. And Rachel‚ as you noted there‚ Republican lawmakers tonight blocking Democrats'; efforts to repeal that 160-year-old abortion ban. So bottom line here‚ where do things stand right now in Arizona?SCOTT: Whit‚ Arizona is in a state of limbo. The Supreme Court here in Arizona put that ruling on hold for 14 days.

Disney-Owned ABC Drama Will Trent Paints Conservative Christians As Violent Bigots

Disney/ABCs procedural drama Will Trent took a political turn this week as the show touched on the issue of drag queens and the sexualization of children‚ as well as anti-cop sentiment. You can probably guess which side the show was on for both issues.At the opening of Tuesdays episode‚ We Are Family‚ the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) team is investigating the murder of an extremely conservative‚ extremely divisive judge‚ Deidre.When the investigation leads them to a drag club‚ the team is confused as to why a conservative judge would go there. They enter the club to gather more clues‚ only to find the judges son works there and that the club has been the target of bomb threats and a weirdo protester outside:Glinda: I tell you what. Mama needs a break. Why don';t you tip your servers‚ lick your lover‚ grab a drink‚ and we';ll be back in a drag 10?Will: Hi‚ ma';am. I';m Special Agent Will Trent. This is Detective Angie Polaski.Glinda: Ooh‚ kind of them to send a man who dresses up.Will: Oh‚ thank you for noticing.Angie: Don';t encourage him.Glinda: Anyway‚ took you long enough to get here. I put those complaints in months ago. Come on. Alright‚ so... Here';s everything we have. Except for the bomb threats. Those happen over the phone. We kept the threatening letters‚ photos of the graffiti. Angie: So‚ someone has been threatening the club regularly? Glinda: Mm-hmm.Angie: Do you know who it is?Glinda: I';m assuming it';s the same weirdo who stands outside every night ";Protesting."; You two are here about the threats‚ aren';t you?Will: I';m afraid not. I';m gonna need to see any security footage you have from tonight.Glinda: Uh uh. We don';t have cameras here. We get all kinds of guests‚ and not all of them are out. Angie: No cameras. Perfect place for a murder.Glinda: A murder?Will: A woman was killed. We believe she was here tonight. Her name was Deirdre Ringgold.Glinda: I have to tell Vibe.Will: Who';s Vibe?Vibe/Gabe: Bonbon‚ did you steal my Dior blush aga-- You did! I can tell! That';s my $20 spread across your thief face.Glinda: Gabe. Sweetie. There';s something I have to talk to you about. It';s about your mother.Vibe/Gabe: Oh‚ yeah?Will: You';re Deirdre';s son?Vibe/Gabe: Who are you?Glinda: Gabe‚ honey... ...Your mother';s been killed.Vibe/Gabe: What?Angie: I';m so sorry.Will: Did you see her tonight?Vibe/Gabe: Yeah. She was just here.Will: Did she know you worked as a drag queen?Glinda: She may have been able to put that together‚ yeah. I think that';s enough questions for tonight.Will: Hang on. We just have a couple more.Glinda: The kid';s mother just died. He needs space. And if you';re gonna continue interrogating him‚ he needs an attorney.Glinda (Kenneth Mosley) is a lawyer by day whose real name is Josiah and he ends up representing Gabe (Garrett Richmond). When Will (Ramn Rodrguez) seems surprised hes a lawyer‚ Josiah remarks‚ I';m a lawyer and a performer‚ and I have a rich romantic life. I';m a five-season Shonda Rhimes show. Who wants to tell him that last part isnt a compliment?The GBI team interviews Gabe with his lawyer in one room and Gabes stepfather Dalton (Pete Burris) and sister Rowan (Gillian Rabin) in another. Dalton gives mean‚ cold‚ blowhard vibes‚ which is the typical Hollywood caricature for a white‚ Christian man.Dalton: We all know Gabe did this!Gabe: My father died when I was five. Deirdre married Dalton not long after that. He wasn';t the easiest man to relate to‚ but... We did go to the shooting range together.Dalton: He was a good shot. Then he traded in his guns for hosiery.Gabe: I don';t know what Dalton hated more -- the fact that I was gay or that I was a better shot than him. Will: When was the last time you saw your mother?Will: Last night. She came to the club. I hadn';t seen that woman since I was 15. Like‚ I was shocked. She said that she wanted to apologize.Rowan: Mom would never do that.Dalton: We have no hate in our hearts... But the Bible';s clear. The thing about Gabe was you couldn';t trust him. I caught him trying to steal Deirdre';s diamond necklace and earrings once.Gabe: My dad left those to my mom before he died. I was just trying them on.Dalton: Rowan was supposed to wear that set on her wedding day.Angie: What was Deirdre apologizing for?Gabe: The night they kicked me out‚ Deirdre and I were arguing at the top of the stairs‚ and... I pushed her. And then suddenly she';s falling‚ and she broke her wrist. Dalton: Put her in the hospital! The kid was unstable. I was glad when he ran away. Gabe: They kicked me out that night. Faith: Rowan... Is that how you remember it?Rowan: Gabe looks out for Gabe.Gabe: I told Ro that I would come back for her‚ but I was living in a shelter‚ doing drugs‚ and I was in no position to care for her. It wasn';t until I found the drag club that my whole life turned around. They saved me. Josiah: We';re family.So‚ the drag queens are kind-hearted saviors while the parents are mean‚ evil Christians. No agenda here‚ right? The left isnt trying to divide families and parents from their children at all‚ right?Also‚ why did the writers have Gabe admit he physically assaulted his mother and put her in the hospital as the answer to why his mother was apologizing? And why are we supposed to believe he was kicked out for being gay‚ when in fact it was because he assaulted his mother? Make it make sense.Security footage later turns up showing Deidre punching the protester outside the club‚ so the team goes to question him: Barrett: We will not stand for this sexual perversion! These drag queens are tearing apart our social fabric and corrupting our children! Josiah: What children‚ man? This is a bar.Bon Bon: I wish you would stop spray painting our walls. My nail beds weren';t made for this much hard labor.Faith: Barrett Fairhope? Special Agent Faith Mitchell‚ GBI. We';re gonna need you to come with us.Josiah: Oh‚ Barrett Fairhope! All this time‚ you never introduced yourself. No? Girl‚ are you finally gonna arrest him? ';Cause I got to get this.Faith: Okay‚ nobody';s getting arrested today.Michael: I need to ask you a few questions. About your French braids.Bon Bon: Wow. I had a dream that started this way once.Barrett: What is this all about?Faith: Okay‚ we just have some questions about an altercation you had with Deirdre Ringgold last night.Barrett: I had nothing to do with that woman';s death.Josiah: This is Barrett Fairhope‚ everybody. Wonder if his boss would like to see what he does with his spare time. Barrett: Don';t you dare. Josiah: What‚ are you afraid your personal life is gonna disrupt your work?Faith: Okay. Okay.Barrett: You don';t intimidate me.Josiah: And you don';t intimidate me. Barrett: This is my constitutional right!Faith: Okay. Now you';re under arrest. Come on.Josiah: Love to see it. Oh‚ yes. Let';s go. Walk‚ honey. Walk. Walk. Silver';s your color‚ sugar. Bon Bon: Absolutely.Josiah: Oh‚ yes. Mwah!Yes‚ Hollywood wants you to believe that the good citizens of this country who dont care what adults do in their private/leisure time‚ but are concerned about children being sexualized‚ are actually very bad‚ angry bigots who would destroy property and scream into a bullhorn outside of a drag club where everyone is an adult. #eyerollMichael (Jake McLaughlin) ends up playing ';Good Cop'; when he questions Barrett and gets him to admit hes the one whos been calling in the bomb threats to the club and painting graffiti on it:Michael: Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting. You wouldn';t believe the amount of paperwork I have to do just to talk to someone. No one lets cops be cops anymore.Barrett: I say that all the time. Michael: FYI‚ I already confiscated the video that guy took.Barrett: Oh‚ my God. Thank you. Michael: So‚ uh‚ what can you tell me about the conversation you had with Deirdre?Barrett: Yeah. So I was‚ um‚ passing out flyers. I gave her one. She stomped on it‚ so I got in her face.Michael: And then she hit you?Barrett: Yeah. Yeah‚ she was crazy.Michael: And then what? You followed her?Barrett: No‚ no‚ no. I went to urgent care. Yeah. Lunatic was wearing rings. I had to get two stitches‚ but I never‚ never saw that woman again.Michael: Yeah. Look‚ I';m sorry I have to ask‚ but you don';t happen to own a .380‚ do you?Barrett: No‚ I do not need a gun to get my point across.Michael: Yeah. Hey. Between us‚ I was admiring your work. The graffiti. That was you‚ right?Barrett: Yeah.Michael: One day I';d like to shut that place down for good.Barrett: You wanna know what works?Michael: What?Barrett: A little phone call here and there. Michael: A bomb threat? Barrett: Oh‚ yeah. Michael: Nice.Barrett: They always close for the night.Michael: Alright‚ well‚ you';ve given me all I need. Thank you very much.Barrett: Yeah. Alright. Does it -- So it means I can go? Amanda: Well‚ not yet. I';m bringing you in on new charges -- felony vandalism‚ harassment‚ terroristic threats. Oh‚ and I';m writing up a restraining order. You';re not going within 500 feet of that club. Michael: You might want to take up a new hobby‚ Barrett.Notice how Barrett was against anti-cop culture? Im surprised they didnt make him pro-life‚ too.The GBI team later learns that Deidre was almost killed by a drunk driver. Angie (Erika Christensen) asks‚ So her near-death experience made her suddenly‚ what‚ love the gays? (Again‚ the dialogue doesnt make sense since Gabe was kicked out for being violent‚ not gay.)Eventually‚ they realize Rowan was the culprit. She was resentful for not being able to see her brother or even speak his name so‚ when she found out her mother was going to the club to see him‚ she got angry and shot her.As for Barrett‚ he somehow shows up at the club again and puts a knife to Glinda/Josiahs throat‚ blaming him for costing Barrett his job. So‚ now hes an attempted murderer‚ too.In addition to Barrett being against anti-cop culture‚ there was also a lot of anti-cop rhetoric throughout the episode. Will gets called a dirty a*s cop by one of his uncles friends. He defends himself well‚ but adds‚ Im not stupid. I know what folks go through with law enforcement.Later‚ Will argues to his assistant that his uncle wouldnt want to go to a party because‚ everyone there is gonna be a cop. His assistant replies‚ He';ll come. I';m coming. You think I like cops?So‚ the cop-hating assistant works for a cop? Apparently‚ the writers want us to believe that Will and his colleagues are special and an exception‚ so we dont get the wrong idea that most cops are good people and heroes just like Will when we watch the show.Would we expect anything less from a Hollywood production on a Disney-owned network?

PBS NewsHour Touts Film About Being a Trans Man Embedded with the Taliban

PBS NewsHour may have some sort of quota to meet for the number of supportive stories they must file for the transgender lobby. On April 4‚ they touted a new documentary available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV under the headline ";Documentary captures journalists gender transition while embedded with Taliban.";GEOFF BENNETT: The film Transitionfollows queer Australian filmmaker Jordan Bryon as he embeds with a Taliban unit he is documenting for The New York Times. But Bryon is undergoing his own transformation as a transgender man and has to keep his identity a secret.Bennett';s co-anchor Amna Nawaz did the softball interview:NAWAZ: You begin documenting one group of Taliban fighters after the Taliban retake control of the country. And‚ at the same time‚ you are in the process of your own gender transition. At what point do you decide‚ I need to start turning the cameras the other way and start telling my own story as part of this?JORDAN BRYON: I started the medical transition like five months before the Taliban took over‚ and‚ objectively‚ as a filmmaker‚ I was thinking it could be interesting to document this process in a place like Afghanistan‚ and because I wanted to use my story to show the version of Afghanistan that I had experienced‚ which was a really beautiful‚ loving‚ welcoming Afghanistan.Monica Villamizar‚ the co-director of Bryon';s film‚ explained how she got involved:VILLAMIZAR: I had heard about him before as this Australian D.P.‚ cinematographer who had really‚ really intimate access to the Taliban. So‚ in my imagination‚ I was already wondering‚ who is this guy and how did he get such intimate access? And that';s when we met. And Jordan said‚ ";Come here‚ but I';m not sure I want to do a film about myself.";And I convinced him‚ because I really think it takes enormous courage to do something so intimate about your own process‚ but I really thought his story was extraordinary.Nawaz raised the notion that Bryon would have to leave (to make the film)‚ and once the film was out‚ he couldn';t go back. ";I just wonder how you reflect on that decision now.";BRYON: It was a big decision. I lived in Afghanistan for six-and-a-half years‚ and it';s the most significant relationship I have ever had. It is an incredible place.And‚ as a filmmaker‚ it';s a gift.But when Mon convinced me to make the film‚ I knew then that the film would mean that I would have to cut my ties with Afghanistan‚ most likely for the foreseeable future at least. And I';m hoping that the film adds value to the world and adds conversations to people that make it worth having to end that relationship for a while.Villamizar called their film a ";love letter to journalism."; It certainly sounds like a love letter to transgenderism.This would match our findings overall‚ that over a seven-month period last year‚ the PBS NewsHourguest count on LGBTQ issues was 19 to 1‚ and the ";1"; was lesbian tennis icon Billie Jean King volunteering her objections to men competing in women';s sports.

Americans Are Not Seeking Out Middle Ground

Americans Are Not Seeking Out Middle Ground

A Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Sen. Mitt Romney regarding the demise of the No Labels political party initiative tells us as much about Romney‚ and why he failed to ever become a national leader‚ as it does about the failure of the No Labels effort.No Labels defined its mission to support centrism and bipartisanship.Romney defines this effort as seeking out the sensible middle voices in American politics.My view is that No Labels failed because of its very incorrect assumption that what Americans seek is a so-called middle ground‚ or even that a middle ground exists‚ on issues that most trouble the nation today.No Labels was wrong in its assessment of what the nation wants and needs‚ and Romney is wrong.Former President Richard Nixon once observed that many make the mistake of thinking that conflict is the result of misunderstanding rather than difference of belief.When America split and descended into civil war in the 1850s and1860s‚ it was not because of the failure of sensible middle voices to emerge.It was because there were many in the country who believed that slavery was not only OK but desirable. It was because some believed that Black Africans who were enslaved were not even human beings.Where is the middle ground‚ the sensible middle voices‚ on slavery?Slavery was not about misunderstanding or lack of communication. It was about conflict between very different sets of beliefs.This is what is happening in our country today.Over the years‚ the country has become increasingly polarized‚ with very different views about what is true and not true and even what the country is about.In the most recent Gallup polling on patriotism‚ only 39% say they are extremely proud to be an American. Only 67% say that are extremely/very proud to be an American.Twenty years ago‚ 90% said they were extremely/very proud to be an American.On issues of great concern to and impact on the country‚ opinions are deeply divided.Gallup reports that the divide between Republicans and Democrats on how much power the federal government should have has increased by 50 points over the last 20 years.The divide between Republicans and Democrats on the nature and cause of global warming has increased by 33 points‚ on satisfaction with K-12 education has increased by 30 points‚ on whether abortion should be legal under any circumstances by 30 points‚ on the importance of foreign trade by 29 points‚ and about immigration by 29 points.Where is the sensible middle on these issues? The answer is there is none.The different points of view emerge from very different views of the world‚ very different views of what is or is not true.The great struggle in our nation today is about whether the founders vision of a free nation under God‚ with limited power of the national government‚ will be restored and harnessed to todays challenges. Or if we will continue in the direction of secular humanism‚ Godlessness and socialism.Abraham Lincoln captured todays reality‚ as neither No Labels nor Mitt Romney could do.Lincoln said in 1858: A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure‚ permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing‚ or all the other.There is a reason why Donald Trump came out of nowhere in 2016 to win the presidency‚ running on the theme Make America Great Again.The struggle today is between those who want to recapture our founding values and principles. And those who want to destroy them.The House will not fall. We will become all one thing‚ or all the other.
