J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have been named in a lawsuit filed by controversial Olympic boxer Imane Khelif.

Sometimes a girl just needs to get some things off her chest and is willing to bare her soul to a kind ear. Tea Berry’s 2-year-old daughter went for a checkup and had so much to say. The mom captured her interaction with medical assistant Casey McCaw, and it’s absolutely precious. The precocious toddler tells Casey all about life as she knows it, but it’s not in words most of us understand. The toddler has a language all her own, but that didn’t stop Casey from engaging in a lively conversation. @taelavonn nurse: @SongBird_0831 Casey D she is just the light to my whole world lol , ive never seen a funnier baby than mine , aduhh #funny #toodlersoftiktok #babytalk #nonegativity #positivevibes ♬ original sound – taelavonn Tea shared text on her TikTok video, “Letting my toddler run her doctor’s appointment.” The mom wasn’t kidding. The talkative toddler had the room under her spell. Casey made the child totally comfortable in her care and, by engaging her, was able to take her vitals and keep her relaxed. Even when she pricked her toe for a blood sample, Casey talked her through it, and the little girl didn’t flinch. The Talkative Toddler Had An Incredible Interaction Casey has a gift, and TikTokers caught that immediately. Tea’s viral video has been viewed 14 million times, and people love her professional attitude. This person thinks Casey needs a pay bump. “Someone give this woman a raise! I love seeing a pediatric nurse that actually likes and interacts with her patients!” “‘giiirlllll that’s too much for me’ lmfao that’s how I know she’s in the right profession,” Someone laughed. Let’s not forget that cute kiddo. Everyone loves her, too. Like this person, “I love a baby yapper! And I love that she’s speaking to her clearly and taking her seriously. That’ll make her comfortable to advocate for herself.” And this one, “She knew everything going on, just doesn’t have the vocabulary yet.” Tea, thank you for sharing your sweet baby with us. And a huge shout out to Casey. You were born to care for others, particularly kids. The world needs more people like you. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

A MUFON Field Investigator contacted me about a case that he worked on in March 2022 that occurred in Florence County, Wisconsin. The 'object', after examination of the video, is yet undetermined.The object does indeed look to be natural, but some interesting aspects can't be ignored. The object does appear to be of considerable size. As well, the object seems to glitch 'in and out' of the video. This may be a result of the video quality, but it is intriguing.So, what are we looking at? Could this be a Sandhill Crane, a species of bird known to inhabit the area during certain times of the year? Could it be an anomalous winged being?I recently received the following email:"Good Day, Sir.I saw you on 'Fade to Black' with Jimmy Church.My name is Steve Reigstad. I am a Wisconsin MUFON Field Investigator, and had an interesting case (to me anyway), of the sighting of a winged ‘Something’, seen in Florence County, WI, on March 7, 2022. It was initially described by the witness as a “boomerang” but I believe it to be biological. There is a video also, but as usual, it isn’t as clear, or as close as we would like. In zooming screenshots, which aren’t that good either, I could see what I believed to be large wings.If you are interested in seeing the details of my investigation and the video that was sent to me, let me know and I’ll put it together for you.  Honestly, I wasn’t comfortable with calling it an IFO - (Large Bird), especially in the area in which it was seen, but you are aware of MUFON Rules.I did comment and pushed my thoughts a bit in my ‘Investigator’s Summary and Conclusions’, without any backlash, which I actually expected at the time.I know you are a busy man with several projects going on, so I wanted to ask you about it first, to see if you would want this information before I took the time to put it all together for you.Thank You For Your Time.No Response Needed. Steve"-----Here is the original MUFON CMS report (unedited):MUFON Case Management System (CMS) Case #135836Date Event Was Reported to MUFON: December 17, 2023Actual Date of Event: March 7th, 2022 / Time of Event: Approx. 1300hrs, 1pm (Central Time)Location of Event: County Road C, WB, between N and 101, Florence County, Wisconsin.Lat/Long: 45.474151  -88.130796Approximate location of the sightingNOTE: The location is approximately 317 miles north of Chicago, IllinoisAdditional ‘to’ Location Information, ‘from’ Event:Iron Mountain Ford Airport, KMIT, 5.04 Miles, ENE @74.39°Town of Florence, WI, 9 Miles, NNW @349.57° (is 113 Miles Due North of Green Bay)Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, 110 Miles, SSE @162.49°Lake Superior South Shore, 79.49 Miles, N @ 359.97° Weather Conditions:  https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/KIMT/date/2022-3-7Temperature (degrees F): 28° F ≊ -2.2° C / Dew Point (degrees F): 19° F ≊ -7.2° CCeiling (feet) 2045 / Wind Direction: NW / Wind Speed (mph): 15 Mph = 24.14 KphLateral Visibility (miles): 10 / Weather Event: *Light Snow Astronomical Data:Civil Twilight - Rise 5:51 AM, Set 6:17 PMMoon: waxing crescent - Rise 8:38 AM, Set 11:33 PM Related Cases:NUFORC – None/Checked records from 02/16/2020-08/26/2020. No Sightings of any kind were found, in Florence Co. WI Websites Checked During Research:https://discoverwisconsin.com/blog/6-creepy-cryptids-call-wisconsin-home/https://thedailywildlife.com/large-birds-in-wisconsin/ My notes regarding the video submitted by the witness:The primary object was described by the witness as boomerang-shaped, but also indicated 'Wings'.  On 1st look, it does present as a boomerang shape, with bent/distorted wing tips.  Upon closer inspection, and zoom up to 1233x, I am confident that the object was in fact biological and possibly a very large bird. I believe the estimated speed and directional changes, reported by the witness, were exacerbated by the relative movement of the vehicle and the curves in the roadway.My notes regarding the video submitted by the witness: (cont.)White Orb - Believed to be lens flare or reflection off the windshield. It also was not seen by the witness at the time she recorded the video.In the video, in addition to the primary winged object, at 40secs a white orb appears in the left side of the frame, moves to the center at 45secs, and leaves the field of view to the left at 51secs. I asked the witness to Please review the video, and asked, "Did you see the white orb outside of the vehicle, or do you believe it was a lens flare or windshield reflection from within the vehicle?" She responded: "I did observe the white orb in the video, but not at the time, so I couldn't say whether it was a lens flare or an actual orb." The following is a selection of my Investigator’s Summary and Conclusions:(Witness name redacted)1. On the original report, the witness stated the date/time of the event as 'Approximate' and "April 22nd, 2022 at 1pm". When I asked if she was confident in that being the date, she stated "I just checked my original video and it was March 7, 2022."  I will work on the case using that date and time. 2.  She stated in the original report that the event occurred on HWY 8.  When asked if she could provide the exact location of the event, she stated:"I was on County C heading West at the intersection of County N, heading towards 101 Fence." 3.  She reported originally that there were 2 witnesses to the event.  When asked if the second witness was in agreement with her assessment, she stated:"My passenger did not observe the object at the time until I showed him the video, I am the only one who observed it at the time."  I also thought the witness ended the Email interview with an interesting note: "I am just glad that you and MUFON are going to investigate my video. I get goosebumps every time I watch it. It's like the object was watching me and listening to me sing because as soon as the song ended it was gone. I've never seen anything that can move the way it had or at the speed it did.”  December 26th Research Done:I believe the object to be biological, possibly a very large bird.Some examples of large birds that can be found in Wisconsin include the Sandhill Crane, which has a wingspan of six to seven feet, and the Bald Eagle, which has a wingspan of up to 90 inches. Also, it would be very remiss of me if I didn't mention the cryptid Thunderbird. Thunderbirds have been described as massive avian raptors by the Menominee tribe. The birds were the enemies of the great horned snakes and would prevent the snakes from overrunning the earth and devouring mankind, according to Menominee folklore. The Menominee Reservation is but 90 miles South of the sighting. Case Disposition: IFO Natural Phenomena - I believe the object to be biological, possibly a very large bird.**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Our “Top 10 Covers of Beach Boys Songs” presents an article filled with covers originally written by a band that stands as one of the most successful and famous bands in classic rock history. The Beach Boys first formed in 1961 on the west coast of the United States, in Hawthorne, California. The band’s original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine—everyone related except for Al Jardine. The group has sold over 100 million albums worldwide since they were first established in the 1960s, making them one of the most The post Top 10 Covers Of Beach Boy Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Our increasingly imperial executive branch has become the center of American politics as the presidency itself shrinks into irrelevancy. It is a dangerous dynamic that threatens the future of our country, and it’s been exposed during our current president’s lamest of lame-duck final months in office. President Joe Biden—if we can still give him that title—appears to be using his last three months as the commander in chief to vacation, snooze, and eat ice cream. Some legacy media outlets, when they take a moment away from their nonstop adulation of Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats’ anointed successor, are treating this as if Biden is taking a well-earned, permanent break.  Biden “saved democracy” and deserves some time off or something like that. Here’s C-Span with a two-minute video of Joe and Jill Biden just hanging out at a beach in Rehoboth, Delaware. Pres. Biden at the beach … Rehoboth Delaware (8-10-2024) pic.twitter.com/tlnSsjlypz— Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) August 10, 2024 What an insightful look into the inner workings of our government. That presidents take vacations is all good and well. It’s a hard job, or at least it used to be. But what’s happening with Biden goes beyond just taking a few hours to golf on the weekend. His calendars have been cleared, his public appearances have become even more infrequent, and so far he only occasionally makes trips to promote Harris, his endorsed successor, on the campaign trail. Biden is just working on his “legacy,” his supporters say. He’s become a “caretaker” president. In what sense can the supposedly most powerful man in the world be merely a caretaker? Have our enemies around the world taken a vacation? Are there no potential crises that could happen between now and Jan. 20 that would require an able, alert, and decisive commander in chief? There are more hot war zones and potential war zones around the globe than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Who is making the ultimate decisions about how to deal with them?  Is it Biden? Someone in his inner circle? Perhaps former President Barack Obama? The fact that the buck stops seemingly nowhere is a deeply disturbing thought. The White House has assured the American people that Biden is working real hard and is on top of everything, just like they’ve told us how sharp and dynamic he’s been behind closed doors for over three years. Nobody with a shred of common sense is buying this. What Biden’s situation demonstrates is that we’ve arrived at an odd paradigm in the history of American government. In some sense, the executive branch as an institution is the most powerful it’s ever been. The presidential campaign has certainly become the center of our nation’s political life. Endless amounts of money and resources are expended to take the White House. And there is a certain logic to this. Why bother with Congress and all its maddening dysfunction when executive departments can issue an order and implement policy?  The executive branch now drives policy while Congress acts as an occasional, flaccid check on its actions. This is a total reversal of how our constitutional system was supposed to operate. From domestic matters to issues of war and peace, everything now flows through the presidency first and foremost. But what we have isn’t quite Caesarism, at least not in the classic sense. One man doesn’t run the show. In fact, it appears that the position atop the executive branch is more and more a ceremonial formality. Right now, it has been granted to Biden, who is being rewarded for his more than half-century of service to the Democrat Party with a career capper. No, what we have is a different kind of Caesarism than that of classical Rome. We have little Caesarism, with apologies to the pizza chain. We are now ruled by millions of little apparatchiks burrowed in our Byzantine executive and legislative agencies. It’s a vast interlocking web of government bureaucracies that dictate federal policy more than our elected officials, whether members of Congress or the president. In the case of a strong executive with a will of his own who defies the ethos of our permanent ruling regime, this bureaucratic managerial class busily schemes to resist his prerogatives and works to have him removed. They did this quite openly during Donald Trump’s presidency. Trump, for good or ill, regularly fired his political appointees. He attempted to manage the executive branch like a chief executive would, despite the fact that his ability to control personnel below the highest political level was extremely limited. Since Trump has been gone, the machine has been ruling itself, promulgating policies and carrying on its initiatives without resistance. And Biden has allowed things to just sail on with little regard to success or failure. After the Biden-Harris administration’s shambolic departure from Afghanistan, nobody at the top got fired. Not a single high- or even middle-ranking general or official fell on his sword or copped to why things had gone so terribly. The only man who lost his job was an officer in the Marines who criticized the military’s failure to exit Afghanistan responsibly. When you see videos like this, remember that the people who were in charge when we handed the Taliban millions of dollars in weapons and other military equipment mostly remain at their post. It’s been 3 years since the Taliban captured Kabul.Yesterday, the Taliban held a military parade w the $85billion equipment Biden &Harris left behind during the disastrous &deadly Afghanistan withdrawal.13 Americans were killed. To this day there has been zero accountability pic.twitter.com/bcHZfnMkAK— Amber Smith (@AmberSmithUSA) August 15, 2024 What happened when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin just decided to disappear for a few days without informing anyone while he had surgery? Nothing. One would think that years of shattering record after record for illegal border crossings would be enough for the president to send Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas packing, or for the man to admit failure and abscond on his own. No again. Threats of congressional impeachment and an actual impeachment vote by the House have been met with a shrug. Mayorkas hasn’t budged and Biden fiddled while millions of illegal aliens poured across our southern border. Now that Biden has become politically useless, now that the façade of his presidency has disintegrated, he’s been unceremoniously dismissed like the last, Lilliputian emperor of the Western Roman Empire. Romulus Augustus—a mighty name for such a petty man—was sent away by the barbarians who took Rome, to finish his days of irrelevance in Ravenna.  Biden’s been sent away to enjoy his retirement in Rehoboth. The regime’s unseen hand cleared a path to put a younger, more credible president before the people. But if Harris wins the presidency in November the difference in leadership would be marginal. With Harris, the regime may have someone who can more vigorously prosecute the Left’s enemies. But we mostly will get more of the same of what we’ve endured for the past four years. That’s not just a crisis for one administration, it’s a crisis for the republic now and into the future.  With the end of the Chevron doctrine by the Supreme Court, perhaps Congress finally will reassert itself now that some authority theoretically has been stripped from the bureaucracy.  Perhaps we will at least move toward something resembling a unitary executive where the president is ultimately in charge of and responsible for the actions of his administration. That will take a serious change in how the executive branch works. If those things don’t happen, the presidency will likely remain both everything and nothing as our country sleepwalks into domestic and international ruin.
