After former President Donald Trump touted a record-breaking fundraiser in Florida this weekend‚ leaders of the Republican National Committee (RNC) said they are focused on key battleground states including one where another fundraiser is planned and districts.The former presidents daughter-in-law‚ RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump‚ spoke on Sunday with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo along with RNC Chairman Michael Whatley about how they are pressing forward after a reported $50.5 million draw at the fundraiser‚ a figure that almost doubles the amount President Joe Bidens campaign said it raised at a glitzy New York event‚ a month into their tenure.There are the key battleground states that we really do have to focus on‚ Lara Trump said on Sunday Morning Futures‚ listing Pennsylvania‚ Arizona‚ Wisconsin‚ and Michigan as priorities. She said Georgia‚ which President Joe Biden narrowly won in 2020‚ is another swing state where her father-in-law is setting his sights while another high-dollar fundraiser is set to take place in Atlanta this week.Youre going to see another huge fund-raising haul out of that state next week as well from President Trump‚ she added. And so‚ listen‚ all the battleground states‚ were highly focused on. There are 19 key counties around the country we must win in order to ensure Donald Trump becomes the 47th president. We are incredibly focused on doing all that.The Associated Press said the $50.5 million figure reported by Donald Trumps re-election campaign from a donor event in Palm Beach‚ Florida‚ would be a single-event record that far outmatch Bidens the $26 million said to be raised at a recent event at Radio City Music Hall in New York that featured celebrities and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.In the days prior‚ data reported by POLITICO showed Trump and the RNC gathered $65.6 million in March and had $93.1 cash on hand by the end of the month. Those may be strong numbers‚ but a good deal of money is going toward Trumps legal bills as he tries to fight off criminal and civil cases. And overall‚ they would appear to be lagging behind the Biden campaign‚ whichsaid that it raised $90 million in March and had $192 million on hand.Whatley said funds raised will be allocated to core missions for the RNC‚ which he described as getting out the vote and protecting the ballot. He added‚ Were going to make sure that we are focusing on the battleground states and districts where we need to be competitive and making sure that every dollar that we raise is going to be putting lead on target.

U.S. Rep. French Hill (R-AR) said during an interview over the weekend that he expects the House of Representatives to re-authorize FISA Section 702 before it expires later this month.FISA Section 702 authorizes the targeted collection of foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. persons located overseas and is critical to defending against national security threats‚ U.S. officials say.Hill‚ who is on the Intelligence Committee‚ made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News Face The Nation with Margaret Brennan when he was asked about increased terror threat levels from Islamic terrorists.I am confident that we will have support for renewing the authorization for the use of 702‚ which is a critical element Ive seen in intimate detail the vital role that 702 surveillance plays in keeping America safe‚ he said. I think Congress will come together and well reauthorize its use. But thats also going to be part of 50 reforms in how the FISA court‚ the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court‚ and how the act operates. And it will be the first serious reforms in probably some 20 years. And these are 50 bipartisan reforms and reforms that I believe have the full support of House Republicans.WATCH:Hill said that after the FISA extension passes‚ he expects that House Speaker Mike Johnson will bring up support for the supplemental appropriations for Ukraine‚ for Taiwan‚ for Israel.Ukraine remains a priority‚ as does our support for Israel and Taiwan‚ he added. And‚ yes‚ I believe hes fully committed to bringing it up to the floor immediately thereafter. And I think thats critical‚ as it should have been passed months ago.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said during an interview over the weekend that Americans in the Middle East were in danger of becoming targets for the Islamic Republic of Iran as the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism looks to avenge the loss of one of its top generals.Turner made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNNs State of the Union with Jake Tapper when asked about Irans forthcoming retaliation after Israel killed Mohammed Reza Zahedi‚ the top commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corpss Quds Force‚ last week.A hardline group in Iran with connections to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that Zahedi played a strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing Hamas unprecedented terrorist attack on October 7.I think Americans in the area remain in danger‚ Turner said when asked about what Iran was planning. Remember‚ Iranian proxies have continued to attack U.S. troops in the area‚ again‚ with the Biden administration being slow to respond and ultimately responding to those attacks. And‚ of course‚ the United States has moved additional capabilities and assets in the area to deter Iran from entering into this conflict directly with Israel‚ although their proxy is Hamas‚ which the conflict is directly with.And Hezbollah continues to be a threat to Israel in Lebanon‚ he added‚ noting that Zahedi was a legitimate target for Israel to eliminate because he was a key Iranian player behind much of the countrys terrorism in the Syria and Lebanon.

Today‚ we see solar eclipses as beautiful and exciting spectacles‚ but for tens of thousands of years civilizations had no scientific understanding of the event‚ so they often relied on religion or spirituality to give answers. In some cases‚ that led to peace and wonder‚ and in others‚ it led to fear and chaos. The first known recording of an eclipse dates back to November 30‚ 3340 B.C.E. Circular rock carvings at the Loughcrew Megalithic Monument in County Meath‚ Ireland‚ are believed to depict the moon partially covering the sun‚ and calculations show that they were carved around an eclipse‚ writes NASA. 30 November 3340 BC: The world';s oldest known recording of a solar eclipse was made on stone at the Loughcrew Cairn L Megalithic Monument outside Oldcastle‚ in County Meath Ireland.https://t.co/ayTHbjOsPL pic.twitter.com/CwAKVIMRyU Irish History on this Date. (@cathaldapapa) November 30‚ 2023 While little is known about that particular interpretation‚ scientists did find grim evidence that the Neolithic-era civilization responsible for the drawings held a human sacrifice ritual due to the cosmic event. Ancient Chinese Civilizations Believed A Cosmic Dragon Was Devouring The Sun Moving forward in time‚ other civilizations offered text and artwork that gave a clearer understanding on what they believed was happening during an eclipse. In ancient China‚ people believed that a celestial dragon was trying to swallow the sun. And records going back more than 4‚000 years read‚ The sun has been eaten. In Chinese mythology‚ a celestial dragon was thought to devour the Sun during a solar eclipse. The ancient Chinese would bang drums and make loud noise to scare the dragon away and save the Sun. This myth reflects the fear and awe that eclipses inspired and the inventive pic.twitter.com/j4g7AjMFgP Jeff Bellandi (@JeffBellandi) April 7‚ 2024 During eclipses. people would bang drums or make other loud noises to scare the dragon away. Because the sun returned‚ people believed they had successfully saved it‚ so the tradition continued for centuries. The Incas Believed They Had Angered The Sun God‚ IntiFor the Incas in South America‚ solar eclipses were particularly worrisome because they worshipped the sun god‚ Inti. At that time‚ people believed he was all-powerful and all-loving. So they thought the disappearance of the giant star was a sign that he was angry. (X)To appease Inti‚ the Incas sometimes offered him sacrifices or would go on fasts. The emperors would also go into hiding during the events‚ according to Britannica. Solar Eclipses Brought Peace To The Batammaliba PeopleThe cosmic sights brought peace to the Batammaliba people‚ who lived in West Africa during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They were taught that anger and fighting on Earth spread to the moon and sunand the eclipse was them battling each other. (X)To quel the cosmic duel‚ villagers made amends with each other with the hope that the sentiment would spread to the sky. Of course‚ modern science explains that a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth‚ and the sun to either partially or completely cover the sun. A large portion of the United States will be able to see a total solar eclipse on Monday (April 8) afternoon. The majority of the other areas will have a view of a partial eclipse.

On Monday‚ April 8th‚ a large portion of the United States will have the opportunity to witness a rare total solar eclipse‚ which consists of five total stages all with their own unique sights. Stage one kicks off when the moon just begins its trek across the sun. When this happens‚ it will look like a disc was carved out of our star. The disc will‚ of course‚ continue to grow and almost look like something is taking bites out of the solar disc. At this time‚ some will begin to see shadow bands‚ which are wavey shapes that project on surfaces and look similar to the shadows at the bottom of pools created by water. Interestingly‚ scientists dont know what causes shadow bands‚ but they theorize an interruption in Earths atmosphere has something to do with them. Bailys beads‚ which look like bright silver dots along the outer edges of the moon may also begin during stage one. This phenomenon happens when the suns light filters around the topography of the moons surface. When stage one‚ also known as first contact‚ completes‚ the second contact begins. Youll know this has happened when you see a bright diamond Totality Will Offer Unique Views Of The CosmosStage three is marked by totality‚ which is when the moon is completely covering the sun. During this stage‚ you will see white lights shooting around the edges of the moon‚ and solar prominences may be visible. Also‚ if youre lucky enough to have clear skies‚ stars and planets that are typically hard to see from Earth will be more profoundly visible. If youre watching the solar eclipse outside‚ you will notice the birds stop chirping and the crickets take over. The temperature will also drop between five and 20 degrees. Stage four is called third contact. This happens when the moon begins to move away from the sun‚ which creates another partial eclipse. It will begin to unveil the sun and look similar to stage two but reversed. Bailys Beads and shadow bands will return‚ as well. Stage five is the final stage‚ and it marks the completion of the total solar eclipse. Once the event ends‚ the contiguous US wont see another total solar eclipse for 20 years.
