They’re the most stable parts of the planet until they aren’t, and geologists want to know what causes the change.

In a stunning new claim, an anonymous whistleblower has stepped forward, alleging the existence of a shadowy U.S. government project known as “Immaculate Constellation,” said to be part of a USAP (Unacknowledged Special Access Program). These programs, by design, operate under extreme secrecy, even beyond the oversight of Congress or high-ranking military officials. The whistleblower, who reportedly worked within the intelligence community, revealed this information in a confidential briefing to select members of the press in Washington D.C. just last month. According to the source, “Immaculate Constellation” is not just another covert military initiative—it allegedly involves the study of celestial objects or anomalies that challenge current scientific understanding. The program, the whistleblower claims, has been running for decades, shrouded in secrecy to such an extent that even key decision-makers within the U.S. government are unaware of its true nature. This revelation comes at a critical moment when public interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and government transparency is at an all-time high. The program reportedly deals with more than just the observation of the cosmos—it is claimed to involve the discovery of highly anomalous space phenomena that challenge existing astrophysical models. This project is alleged to focus on a collection of space objects, some of which display properties inconsistent with known astrophysics. Unlike traditional Special Access Programs (SAPs), which are acknowledged and subject to congressional oversight, USAPs are designed to be almost entirely inaccessible, even to high-ranking officials within the government. The timing of this revelation is significant. In 2023, the U.S. government made headlines with a series of hearings where former military officials, including intelligence officer David Grusch, testified about encounters with UAPs and alleged government cover-ups. Yet, even without concrete proof, the claim about a USAP dealing with space phenomena poses important questions: What does the U.S. government know about anomalies in space? Why would such a program be hidden for so long? And perhaps most importantly—if these claims are true, what are the implications for humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe?

Woke is a Marxist philosophy that insists there is no good or evil. It's proponents redefined injustice as justice and vice versa. While we chuckle every week over the circus freaks who represent the ideology, over the past year, we've seen Woke in its purest form AND it's a lot scarier than a man in a dress. On this episode of "Woke of the Weak," I recap how the ideology has devolved into support for terrorism.

For more than two months, Republicans have mocked Kamala Harris for hiding in the basement and not granting interviews and press conferences, which could give people an idea of how she might handle the presidency. So after she and Tim Walz have engaged in debates, Team Harris decided to book her on a series of softball interviews. Start with the “Call Her Daddy” sex podcast, which sounds like something that would be easy for conservatives to mock. Sure, it is a massively popular podcast among young women, but it sounds like more of a forum for aspiring Bill Clinton interns than a public policy platform. Naturally, Barbie-lookalike podcaster Alex Cooper is “sex-positive,” which also means “abortion-positive.” Cooper wasn’t going to ask about Kamala being “mentored” in her career by powerful San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown when she was his young paramour. She wasn’t going to ask about her husband Doug Emhoff ruining his first marriage by cheating with the nanny and getting her pregnant. These are also the kind of saucy subjects that the old Howard Stern would want to talk about on the radio. But the new Howard Stern is firmly entrenched on the left, and he was suggesting to Harris that she was in danger if Donald Trump was re-elected. “If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country? Would you stay in this country?” Remember that old song “Paranoia Will Destroy Ya”? Howard Stern jumped the shark and landed in a crib. Then there were the liberal ladies of The View on ABC. Fox News people joked that would turn out to be more of a “hot stone massage” than an interview. Whoopi Goldberg set the tone by introducing Harris as “the next president of the United States!” There were moments the news people could underline. Sunny Hostin asked, “Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” Harris replied, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”  So much for all her talk of “turning the page.” The toughest appearance on the list was 60 Minutes on CBS, but based on the record, that’s not saying much. Bill Clinton tiptoed around Gennifer Flowers on that show. Barack Obama drew a series of worshipful interviews with Steve Kroft, first as a candidate and then as president. More recently, Scott Pelley has contributed several softball sessions with Joe Biden. So it was surprising and refreshing when CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker challenged Harris with some obvious facts. He asked if it was a mistake to "loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?" When she tried to claim the border was "a long-standing problem," he followed up: "the numbers did quadruple under your watch." Whitaker also noted she flipped positions on a host of issues, from a fracking ban to a socialist "Medicare for All" program. These are simple facts, so why are we amazed when a journalist simply points them out and asks her to explain? It’s a reflection on how Democrats don’t have a Tim Russert figure in their “mainstream” TV scene that they consider a serious test of their mettle. Today’s TV hosts act like defense lawyers for the Democrats. They don’t seem to have any prosecutorial muscles at all for the candidates they favor. So raise a glass to Bill Whitaker for reminding us what the news used to sound like in the polyester days. 

Click to Skip Ahead What Is Mammary Cancer in Cats? Signs Causes Diagnosis Care Guide Frequently Asked Questions Breast cancer in cats is more commonly known as mammary tumors and/or mammary cancer. Cats can get either benign or malignant forms of mammary cancer, though cats overwhelmingly suffer from malignant mammary cancer. In this article we’ll discuss more about mammary cancers in cats, your cat’s potential risk, and what can be done for care. What Is Mammary Cancer in Cats? First, we should explain where mammary tissue is on your cat. When your cat rolls over onto their back, and you see their “belly”, you’ll notice two lines of nipples that run from each armpit towards the groin area. These are the two mammary chains in cats, and they consist of the underlying mammary tissue and associated nipples. Cats can develop growth abnormalities, infections, and different types of cancers anywhere along these mammary chains. Sometimes a cat will develop a single mammary tumor; other times large portions of one or both mammary chains will be affected with multiple tumors. The tumors or cancer may be benign or malignant. Unfortunately, cats often develop malignant cancers with mammary carcinoma being the most common. Image Credit; Everything You Need, Shutterstock What Are the Signs of Feline Mammary Cancer? You may notice a small lump near one or multiple nipples on your cat at first. The tumors may be as small as a BB. Other times you may not notice the tumor(s) until they are much larger, especially if your cat hates having their belly touched. These tumors may or may not have any hair loss associated with them, and oftentimes are the same color as your cat’s skin if not just slightly pink in color. As the tumors grow and multiply, you may notice more than growth separately, or potentially multiple that all seem to now be growing into one another and/or connecting. These tumors are often slightly soft to firm when you feel them, and your cat may be sensitive to palpation of the tumors. These tumors may rupture or burst open, causing significant bloody discharge. Your cat may act completely normal at first. Because of this, you may not notice anything wrong. If your cat has malignant cancer, over time you may notice weight loss, a decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal vocalizing, and decreased grooming. Some cats will also develop difficulty breathing if the cancer spreads to their lungs and/or makes fluids within the chest or abdominal cavities. Image Credit: AYDO8, Shutterstock What Are the Causes of Mammary Cancer in Cats? This is the million-dollar question with not only mammary cancer, but many different types of cancers. What we do know is that female reproductive hormones (estrogen and progesterone) significantly increase the risk of your cat developing mammary cancer. What exact role these hormones play in cancer development is still being studied. But it’s well known that cats who are left intact, or have never had an ovariohysterectomy (spayed), may have up to a seven-fold increase in developing mammary tumors as compared to cats who have been spayed. Some studies even suggest that spaying a cat prior to 6 months of age will also decrease their chances of developing mammary cancer as compared to cats spayed between 7 and 12 months of age. It’s also well documented that female cats overwhelmingly suffer from mammary cancer more than male cats. The majority of mammary cancers are also diagnosed in middle-aged to older cats. But as with most cancers, it’s important to remember that any cat can develop cancer, even at a young age. Because there are so many unanswered questions about cancer, if you feel any type of lump on your cat, it’s best to get it evaluated by a veterinarian. Image Credit: H_Ko, Shutterstock Diagnosing Mammary Cancer In Your Cat First, it’s imperative to know that your cat will need some type of tissue sampling for a diagnosis. Your veterinarian will not be able to just feel the tumor and know whether or not it is malignant or benign. There are two recommended diagnostic tests that your veterinarian may recommend. One is a fine needle aspirate. This method does not require any sedation (unless your cat is typically very spicy at the vet), is quick and simple. It involves your veterinarian agitating or aspirating the tumor(s) with a needle and syringe. By doing this, cells are sucked up into the needle. These cells are then sprayed and spread onto a microscope slide and sent into a laboratory for a pathologist to evaluate under the microscope. The other way to diagnose mammary cancer is with a tissue sample, or biopsy. This often includes heavy sedation or sometimes anesthesia. Your veterinarian will obtain multiple small pieces of tissue that are typically placed in formalin and then sent to a lab. Depending on the biopsy site, your veterinarian may have to place a few sutures to close the tissue and allow it to heal. If your cat is diagnosed with mammary cancer, chest radiographs and an abdominal ultrasound may also be recommended to see if there has been obvious metastasis, or spread of cancer. Full blood work is often done as well to monitor red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts as well as monitoring blood work values of other organs. Image Credit: Sergey Nivens, Shutterstock How Do I Care for a Cat With Mammary Cancer? It’s always best to discuss and come up with a care plan with your veterinarian. Depending on your cat’s specific case, you may be referred to a Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon, Oncologist, or even Internal Medicine specialist. Your veterinary team can best discuss options with you depending on your specific cat. Surgery is typically recommended to remove either a single tumor, or having a radical chain mastectomy performed. This is when all of the mammary tissue along a side of the body is removed. Some cats will even have to have both sides of the mammary tissue removed. This is a significant surgery that carries significant healing time, pain control, and aftercare. However, it may give your cat their best prognosis. There is nothing holistically that can be done at home to help treat and/or prevent mammary cancers. Because scientists are still studying what causes these cancers in the first place, no one treatment or combination of treatments is foolproof. As mentioned above, a care plan, whether hospice/comfort care or surgery with chemotherapy, should always be discussed with your veterinarian. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Can I Prevent Mammary Cancer in My Cat? The most important thing you can do to greatly reduce your cat’s risk of mammary cancer is to have your cat spayed prior to their first heat cycle. Not only are you greatly reducing their cancer risk, but you are also helping control the cat overpopulation issue and decreasing your cat’s chance of developing a pyometra. What If There’s Only a Small Mass? Get diagnostics done by your veterinarian! Mammary cancers, if malignant, can be extremely fast growing. If you only feel one small lump, your veterinarian may be able to surgically remove it before it has a chance to metastasize or grow so large that a radical mastectomy has to be performed. Conclusion Breast cancer is known as mammary cancer in cats. It’s overwhelmingly more common in female cats versus male cats, most frequently occurring in females who have never been spayed. While we don’t know the exact cause of mammary cancer, there is some evidence suggesting that the female reproductive hormones play a role. Cats can get malignant or benign mammary cancers, but sadly tend to develop malignant carcinomas most frequently. A definitive diagnosis with either cytology or histopathology is recommended prior to coming up with a treatment plan. Your veterinarian may recommend surgery and chemotherapy. Prognosis is completely dependent on the type of cancer, evidence of metastasis, and overall health of your cat at the time of diagnosis.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Kamala Harris' running mate, once again found himself at odds with the U.S. Constitution earlier this week when he insisted that the Electoral College "needs to go" in favor of a national popular vote.On Tuesday, Walz spoke at a fundraiser at the private Sacramento residence of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). There, Walz lamented the framework established by the Founding Fathers to elect America's president."I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go," he told the crowd. "But that's not the world we live in. So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania, and win. We need to be in western Wisconsin and win. We need to be in Reno, Nevada, and win."Walz is right that the Electoral College forces presidential and vice presidential candidates to appeal to less populated areas of the country to secure victory. In fact, without the Electoral College, the state he represents, Minnesota, which has nearly 3.7 million registered voters, would have almost no impact on the results of a nationwide election involving 120 to 150 million votes.Still, Walz told supporters in California that he is "a national popular vote guy" and that "we need a national popular vote."'Is Tampon Tim laying the groundwork to claim President Trump’s victory is illegitimate?'Afterward, the Harris-Walz campaign quickly scrambled to clean up Walz's latest seemingly anti-constitutional blunder."Governor Walz believes that every vote matters in the Electoral College and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states working to earn support for the Harris-Walz ticket," an unidentified spokesperson said in a statement to the New York Times. "He was commenting to a crowd of strong supporters about how the campaign is built to win 270 electoral votes. And, he was thanking them for their support that is helping fund those efforts."Addressing his many verbal missteps — and in some cases, seemingly boldfaced lies — since he was tapped to join Harris on the 2024 Democratic ticket, Walz also said last week, "I speak like everybody else speaks. I need to be clearer. I will tell you that."In response to Walz's comments about the Electoral College, the Trump campaign suggested the Minnesota governor harbors animus for the U.S. Constitution in general. "Why does Tampon Tim hate the Constitution so much?" said a tweet from Trump War Room, employing a humorous nickname given to Walz for implementing a policy that allows Minnesota public schools to offer feminine hygiene products in boys' bathrooms."He hates the First Amendment. He hates the Supreme Court. He hates the Electoral College. But he sure loves communist China!"A tweet from Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt added, "Is Tampon Tim laying the groundwork to claim President Trump’s victory is illegitimate?"While Harris' team has reiterated that Walz's opinions on the Electoral College do not reflect the official opinions of the campaign, Harris herself has previously questioned the continued relevance of the Electoral College, especially since recent Democrat presidential candidates Al Gore in 2000 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 struggled to compete in it."There’s no question that the popular vote has been diminished in terms of making the final decision about who’s the president of the United States, and we need to deal with that," Harris said in 2019, when she launched her first campaign for president."So I’m open to the discussion."As Trump War Room suggested, Walz's recent dig against the Electoral College is hardly his first open criticism or misinterpretation of the U.S. Constitution. In apparent defiance of the First Amendment, he once said in an MSNBC interview that "there's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech."Standing on his authority as a former Minnesota National Guardsman, Walz also advocated for restricting gun rights otherwise protected by the Second Amendment, suggesting that weapons such as those that he "carried in war" should be available only to American service members and not to everyday civilians. Incidentally, Walz never went to "war" in a combat zone.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Ground Beef Wellingtons are a simpler version of the original. It’s a stick-to-your-ribs kind of dinner with flaky puff pastry filled with creamy ground beef and topped with a simple homemade gravy! IMPRESSIVE (BUT NOT DIFFICULT) DINNER RECIPE This Ground Beef Wellington was inspired by a traditional Beef Wellington. But, since I am not a huge fan of almost rare beef that’s traditionally used in a true Beef Wellington, I went with ground beef that I knew would be cooked through more and would appeal to the more average, everyday cook like myself. Plus, there is no guessing game if the beef is done since we’re cooking it before adding it to the puff pastry. A hearty dinner that’s easy to make for a weeknight meal. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Do I have to use ground beef? I have a Chicken Wellington recipe if you’d like to try this with chicken instead. You can use ground pork or even ground sausage if you prefer. Is it hard to make a Wellington? Maybe with a traditional beef Wellington but not with this ground beef version. The folding does take some effort, but it is much easier to do than you might think at first. It does not have to be perfect at all. This is a very forgiving recipe. I tried to make sure the photos below showed this process step by step to make it easy to follow. What else can I add to these? You can add some sauteed mushrooms, frozen peas, or other veggies to the filling to bulk it up. If you do this, you can probably get 7-8 pouches rather than 6 since you are making the filling thicker. Help! My Wellingtons are leaking, what do I do next time to prevent this? Don’t stress. If you didn’t seal them great, they will leak a little but it is just fine. Just when you go to serve them, scoop up any filling that leaked out and pour it on top of the pouch. Try to make sure before cooking that you seal it really well at the top, even if it means it doesn’t look so pretty. As it bakes, it will end up being just fine! What’s the best way to store these Ground Beef Wellingtons? I suggest storing the wellingtons and gravy separately so they don’t end up getting soggy while being stored. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, or keep them longer in the freezer for up to 3 months. How should I reheat leftovers? Reheat these in the oven or air fryer. Heating them back up in microwave will make the pastry soggy (unless you like it softer). To reheat the gravy, you will probably have to add a splash of beef stock or water to loosen it up. The gravy can be reheated on the stovetop or microwave. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) ground beef – you could also use venison for this. I do suggest using lean ground beef if possible. medium sweet onion– small diced and divided garlic cloves – my preference is always fresh garlic. I think it just gives more of a garlic punch but you could use the jarred stuff if that is all you have on hand. condensed cream of mushroom soup– you can use low or no sodium versions if you’re sensitive to salt. You can also make your own Homemade Cream of Mushroom soup. Worcestershire sauce – this adds a really good depth of flavor to the meat mixture. However, if this isn’t something you normally keep stocked in your refrigerator, don’t go out and buy it just for this recipe. Just skip it. It will still turn out yummy. puff pastry – if you’ve never purchased puff pastry before, you will find it in the freezer section in a box of two – usually near the desserts. It needs to be thawed in the refrigerator before using. Or just follow the directions on the box for thawing. egg unsalted butter – I suggest unsalted butter because there is plenty of salt in the beef stock. all-purpose flour beef stock– you can use low or no sodium versions if needed if you’re sensitive to salt in recipes or need to cut back. HOW TO MAKE GROUND BEEF WELLINGTONS Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large baking with parchment paper and set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with half of the onion, breaking it up into crumbles until there is no pink left, 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Take off the heat and stir in the cream of mushroom soup and Worcestershire sauce, set aside. Working with one of the 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed at a time, roll it out on a lightly floured work surface into a 12×12-inch square. Cut into 4 sections. Add a heaping ¼ cup of the filling per section. Lightly dampen the outside edge of the pastry with water. Fold up the sides around the filling and pinch the seams so they form a little package. Repeat with all of the filling and half of the remaining puff pastry. Place the pouches on the parchment-lined baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and a splash of water until well combined. Brush the pouches with the egg wash. Bake for 30-32 minutes until golden brown. While the Wellingtons are baking, make the gravy. Melt the butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the remaining half onion and cook until the onion softens and starts to brown slightly, 10-15 minutes. Add the garlic and stir it in until just fragrant, 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour and cook for an additional 1 minute. Slowly stream in the beef stock while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary. Keep warm until ready to serve with the wellingtons. Serve and enjoy your Ground Beef Wellingtons.
