ABC's Transcript of the Biden Interview is Revealing

Despite two centuries of excavations and archaeological investigations in Giza, only three items have ever been retrieved from within the Great Pyramid. Known collectively as the Dixon Relics, the trio of artifacts was discovered in 1872 by Waynman Dixon and James Grant, although we still don’t know what they are.The pair came across the antiques while exploring an air shaft leading from the Queen’s Chamber, which lies inside the Great Pyramid - also known as the Pyramid of Khufu. Newspaper reports from the time of the discovery suggested that the items may have been tools that were used in the construction of the iconic landmark, yet the exact function of the ancient objects remains a topic of debate to this day.After leaving Egypt, Dixon himself kept hold of two of the objects, both of which are now housed in the British Museum in London. This antique pairing consists of a small stone ball and a hooked copper item in the shape of a dove’s tail. According to the museum, the items appear to be tools that may have been used by construction workers, although they could also have been placed in the pyramid in order to allow King Khufu’s departing spirit to exit the chamber and travel to the afterlife.Grant, meanwhile, kept possession of the third relic - a 13-centimeter (five-inch) piece of cedar wood that was once part of a larger wooden object within the pyramid. In the 1940s, Grant’s daughter donated the item to the University of Aberdeen, yet it was apparently not properly classified and immediately went missing.It wasn’t until 2019 that researchers stumbled upon the object, which was hiding inside a cigar tin within the University’s Asia collection. More than seven decades after taking possession of the ancient item, Egyptologists finally had a chance to study it, with radiocarbon dating revealing that it was first crafted some time between 3341 and 3094 BCE, more than 500 years before the Great Pyramid was constructed.Despite this revelation, archaeologists still can’t say for sure what the object is, although some have proposed that it may be part of a measuring rule that was used during the building of the Great Pyramid. Naturally, it would help if researchers could access the larger item from which this fragment came, although this is currently stuck in an inaccessible cavity within the pyramid and was last seen using a robotic camera in 1993.

On Christmas Day 2022, a highly peculiar aurora was seen over an enormous section of the Arctic sky, the likes of which have never previously been observed from the ground. Known as a polar rain aurora, this exceptional light show was produced by a waterfall of electrons that emanated from the sun before cascading peacefully over the North Pole.Typically, auroras consist of dynamic, shifting lights that change shape and color as they dance across the sky. This phenomenon is caused by charged solar particles interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field, before being channeled towards the poles.However, the spectacle observed on the night of December 25 2022 was completely different. For one thing, it was massive, covering an area of around 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles). More interestingly, though, it was completely uniform and unchanging, consisting of a smooth, featureless green glow that just hung in the sky without morphing or rearranging itself into any shapes.To find out what happened, the authors of a new study examined data from the US Defense Department’s polar-orbiting satellites. In doing so, they discovered that the solar wind had dropped to virtually zero at the time of the aurora, which also coincided with the opening of a so-called coronal hole on the sun’s surface.As a consequence, high-energy electrons were able to flow out of this coronal hole without becoming scattered by the solar wind. These particles - which would normally be blown from pillar to post, creating fast-moving aurorae - were therefore able to gently rain down over the North Pole in a steady stream, creating a completely flat aurora.“By combining ground-based and satellite observations, we proved that this unique aurora was produced by suprathermal electrons streaming directly from the Sun, which is known as “polar rain.”,” write the researchers. Until now, this phenomenon had only ever been observed from space, but had never been seen from the ground.The study authors also calculated that the spread of electrons streaming out of the coronal hole would have covered some 7,500 kilometers (4,600 miles) of the sky, which explains why this edition of the Northern Lights was so large.“This incredibly smooth and gigantic form is distinctively different from that of a typical polar cap aurora,” explain the researchers. “Thus, it cannot be categorized as any previously identified class of aurorae visible at polar cap latitudes.”The study has been published in the journal Science Advances.

There’s an awful lot of red media faces out there this week. And the reason why is obvious. As President Joe Biden proceeded along his path to the White House and then through the four years of his term, the mainstream media couldn’t praise him enough for saving democracy from former President Trump. As NewsBusters editor Tim Graham has pointed out, when presented with a genuine, real-live liberal Democrat to challenge Biden - that would be Minnesota’s Democrat Congressman Phillips - the media simply closed their eyes to the Phillips message. That message, as Tim points out, was about “challenging Biden’s mental decline.” And the media looked the other way. The resulting problem for the mainstream media now is stark and simple. If they couldn’t tell the obvious truth about Biden’s mental condition -- why should they be trusted when trying to sell anything else? The political world is filled with serious problems. Unemployment, job creation, inflation, how to handle Putin and Russia, Xi Jing Ping and China, the Iranian Mullahs, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, the state of NATO and more. Given that to be the case, one would think the media would be exercising a thorough review of its own offerings instead of peddling, day after day, fantasies about Biden opponent Donald Trump - while ignoring, day after day, the realities about Joe Biden’s actual mental condition. Instead the media dished stories like these:   The Atlantic:  Why Trump Won’t Win His threats to democracy make him dangerous. They also make him a weak candidate.   In which Hussein Ibish said:  “Yes, Joe Biden is an imperfect opponent. And yes, much could change over the next 11 months, potentially in Trump’s favor. But if Biden’s health holds, he is very likely to be reelected next year.”  Got that? Not only is there no reference to Biden’s mental health problems, the reference is exactly the opposite: “But if Biden’s health holds…..”. In other words, in The Atlantic, there was no problem with Biden’s health other than it remaining the same. And there was no question that everything was just hunky dory with ole Joe’s cognitive condition. Until now. Ibish wants him gone.  Then there was CNN:  Opinion: Trump is wrong. This is the real terror threat in America In which CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen predictably says terrorists crossing the border is not the real threat - Trump his January 6 gang are the real threat. The riot was the "most unsettling act of domestic terrorism in decades." So, "When it comes to acts of terrorism, it might behoove Trump to take a careful look in the mirror instead of misdirecting attention to the southern border." There was zero mention of Biden’s cognitive problems. Then there was this over at the amusingly titled “Scientific American”: The ‘Shared Psychosis’ of Donald Trump and His Loyalists Read the bold print:  “Yet the (January 6th) rioters’ actions—and Trump’s own role in, and response to, them—come as little surprise to many, particularly those who have been studying the president’s mental fitness and the psychology of his most ardent followers since he took office. One such person is Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist and president of the World Mental Health Coalition.* Lee led a group of psychiatrists, psychologists and other specialists who questioned Trump’s mental fitness for office in a book that she edited called The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President." And as to Joe Biden’s “mental fitness for office”? Not a peep from these "scientists." One could go on. And on and on with media stories like these. But the plain and simple fact is that Joe Biden’s cognitive problems were just flatly ignored by the media as he was elected and his presidency unrolled. Not until just the other day, when his debate performance so blatantly revealed to the nation a president who did in fact have serious cognitive problems - did the media red flag go up. Among those raising that flag was The New York Times, which editorialized that Democrats had to “deal truthfully with the American public: acknowledge that Mr. Biden can’t continue his race, and create a process to select someone more capable to stand in his place to defeat Mr. Trump in November.” Catch that line? Democrats have to “deal truthfully with the American public..”. Perhaps, just perhaps, if the media had dealt truthfully from the get go about the state of Joe Biden’s cognitive problems - than Democrats, not to mention the country and the world - would not be in this situation to begin with. But the media chose, at best, to ignore what so many in Biden’s White House circle knew was the hard truth about Biden and his mental health. Now the media’s own credibility is seriously - and justifiably - at issue. On anything and everything. And the fact that they have so seriously damaged that credibility by ignoring the hard facts in a major story?   There is a Biden collapse....and a further collapse of the media who could only repeat what they were told by their minders.

REPORT: Jill Biden Melting Down at People Who Want Joe to Step Aside

A fresh reexamination of artifacts recovered from ancient Anglo-Saxon burials has revealed some startling information about ancient Britain’s involvement in far-off military adventures in the sixth century AD. It seems there is good evidence to suggest that Anglo-Saxon people who lived in this period may have left Britain and traveled to northern Syria and the eastern Mediterranean region to participate in military conflicts, fighting on the side of the Byzantine Empire.  A pair of English scholars, St. John Simpson, a senior curator at the British Museum, and Helen Gittos, a medieval historian from Oxford University, have concluded that some unique and exotic items retrieved during excavations at several ancient Anglo-Saxon burial sites came directly from northern Syria and the eastern Mediterranean. While the previous belief was that these objects had been acquired by wealthy Anglo-Saxon families with access to long-distance trade networks, Simpson and Gittos argue that this is not the case.  Read moreSection: ArtifactsOther ArtifactsNewsHistory & ArchaeologyRead Later 

Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran's runoff presidential election Saturday, besting hard-liner Saeed Jalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country's mandatory headscarf law after years of sanctions and protests.

President Joe Biden, fighting to save his endangered reelection effort, used a highly anticipated TV interview Friday to repeatedly reject taking an independent medical evaluation that would show voters he is up for serving another term in office.
