UFO was first formed in London in 1968. They emerged as a pivotal force bridging the gap between early hard rock and heavy metal and the burgeoning New Wave of British Heavy Metal. The band’s enduring lineup comprises Phil Mogg on vocals‚ Vinnie Moore wielding the lead guitar‚ Neil Carter handling rhythm guitar and keyboards‚ Rob De Luca on bass guitar‚ and Andy Parker behind the drums. Despite numerous lineup alterations‚ with Mogg being the sole constant presence‚ UFO experienced two hiatuses‚ from 1983 to 1984 and again between 1989 and 1991. Michael Schenker‚ the ex-Scorpions guitarist and founder of The post Complete List Of UFO Studio Albums And Discography appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

For the first time‚ scientists have captured photos of a bird in Africa that was unseen for nearly twenty years. Known as the Yellow-crested Helmetshrike‚ the species had been listed as a ‘lost bird’ by the American Bird Conservancy because it had not been spotted in nearly two decades. Scientists from the University of Texas […] The post First Known Photos of ‘Lost Bird’ Not Seen in 2 Decades are Captured by University of Texas Scientists appeared first on Good News Network.

CBS Saturday Morning and foreign correspondent Chris Livesay sought to explain what drove Hamas to commit its October 7 attack on Israel and settled on “Jewish activists kicking a hornets' nest‚” despite admitting these activists have no real power or significant influence within the Israeli government or Judaism. Livesay would also throw certain Christians into the blame game as well. One woman Livesay interviewed claimed she wanted to get rid of the Dome of the Rock‚ which led Livesay to reassure viewers that “to be clear‚ hers is a dream not shared by the Israeli government or by the vast majority of Israelis and Jews.”     However‚ “it's enough to incite numerous Islamist groups. Hamas has dubbed its October 7 assault on Israel the Al-Aqsa Mosque Wave as the Dome of the Rock as its emblem‚ but this sacred ground to billions of Muslims globally‚ not just Hamas terrorists‚ stresses Iman Mustafa Abu Sway of Al-Aqsa Mosque.” Simply stating this as a matter of fact or challenging them would be one thing‚ but infantilizing people who use it to justify terrorism is quite another. Sway was then shown telling Livesay that “Al-Aqsa Mosque belongs to all Muslims. So‚ you find reaction from Indonesia to Toronto to New York that’s freely given. Al-Aqsa Mosque belongs to all Muslims and Muslims today are 2 billion people. Two billion people.” As Livesay himself reported‚ it is not the position of the Israeli government‚ which the media is always portraying as very far-right‚ to destroy Islamic holy sites or rebuild the Temple‚ but he still asked‚ “Simply by performing these acts‚ are these Jewish activists kicking a hornets' nest?” Sway affirmed‚ “They are. They are.” “These acts” also include the transportation of red heifers from Texas to Israel‚ which some Jews and Christians view as necessary to bring about the reconstruction of the Temple‚ the Messiah‚ or Christ’s return. Rabbi Yitshak Mamo looks after the heifers in the West Bank‚ and he was asked by Livesay‚ “Can you understand why Hamas could be outraged by something like this?” Mamo replied‚ “I cannot understand it‚ even if they are right‚ why they have to slaught[er] and rape people to win their war.” Livesay added that “’Terrorists have been attacking us before we ever dreamed of these cows‚’ he reflects. ‘They don’t need them as an excuse to kill.’” Of course‚ Mamo is correct on that front. Additionally‚ CBS would never dare run a segment on alleged Islamophobia in America where they asked Muslims if they could understand that they were being attacked because some fringe elements kicked a proverbial hornets’ nest. Here is a transcript for the March 2 show: CBS Saturday Morning 3/2/2024 9:04 AM ET CHRIS LIVESAY: To be clear‚ hers is a dream not shared by the Israeli government or by the vast majority of Israelis and Jews. But it's enough to incite numerous Islamist groups. Hamas has dubbed its October 7 assault on Israel the Al-Aqsa Mosque Wave as the Dome of the Rock as its emblem‚ but this sacred ground to billions of Muslims globally‚ not just Hamas terrorists stresses Iman Mustafa Abu Sway of Al-Aqsa Mosque. MUSTAFA ABU SWAY: Al-Aqsa Mosque belongs to all Muslims. So‚ you find reaction from Indonesia to Toronto to New York that’s freely given. Al-Aqsa Mosque belongs to all Muslims and Muslims today are 2 billion people. Two billion people. LIVESAY: Simply by performing these acts‚ are these Jewish activists kicking a hornets' nest?  SWAY: They are. They are.  SWAY: A hornets nest they’re kicking all the way to Capitol Hill.  MIKE JOHNSON: So‚ good to see you here in the nation's capital. LIVESAY: Those cows were showcased in Washington at a recent prayer gathering. Many Evangelicals believe these red heifers will usher Christ's second coming.  UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We need the Messiah to come‚ right? So‚ for me‚ the red heifer is red for the blood of Jesus Christ.  LIVESAY: Back in the West Bank‚ Mamo says the ceremony could take place any day.  Can you understand why Hamas could be outraged by something like this?  YITSHAK MAMO: I cannot understand it‚ even if they are right‚ why they have to slaught and rape people to win their war. LIVESAY: “Terrorists have been attacking us before we ever dreamed of these cows‚” he reflects. “They don’t need them as an excuse to kill.

Christian Nationalists are the new White Supremacists. The former is how the press and the Left‚ but we repeat ourselves‚ target right-leaning voters supporting President Donald Trump. The Ruthless Variety Program mocks the press’ efforts in the podcast’s latest episode.     The Media Is Out of Control The so-called group is the focus of “God &; Country‚” a new documentary produced by rabid anti-Trump filmmaker Rob Reiner. Here’s the film’s official synopsis‚ courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes. GOD &; COUNTRY looks at the implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our constitutional republic‚ but Christianity itself. Featuring prominent Christian thought leaders‚ GOD &; COUNTRY asks this question: What happens when a faith built on love‚ sacrifice‚ and forgiveness grows political tentacles‚ conflating power‚ money‚ and belief into hyper-nationalism? Reiner’s film earned oodles of free publicity via the press‚ little of it challenging the film’s thesis. Rolling Stone. The New York Times. The Washington Post. Newsweek CNN. Axios. NPR. That’s the kind of marketing muscle most documentary filmmakers would love. Critics raved about the film‚ too‚ giving in a robust 92 percent “fresh” rating at RottenTomatoes.com. All of the above didn’t translate to box office glory.     The film‚ which opened in 85 theaters nationwide Feb. 16‚ earned just $38K in its opening frame. The left-leaning Wikipedia dubbed those numbers “disappointing.” The far-Left Deadline.com desperately spun the results‚ letting the film’s distributor frame the poor numbers in the best light possible. Overall gross was hampered by lower-than-average ticket prices in rural and suburban areas of the country‚ as well as limited screening schedules‚ Oscilloscope noted‚ saying: “God &; Country has been met with an unbelievable amount of support from churches and religious organizations across the country that are keen to spread the film’s message. We expect group sales and buyouts to surge as word-of-mouth takes hold and we head deeper in the 2024 general election. In our minds‚ this was more an opening salvo than an opening weekend.” So where’s the surge? ‘God &; Country’ Needs a Box Office Miracle The film failed to crack the top 36 box office slots on Box Office Mojo last weekend. The 36th film on that list‚ “Ennio‚” earned $3‚763 over the weekend. That means either “God &; Country” earned even less‚ or the studio didn’t submit numbers to sites like Box Office Mojo or The-Numbers.com. That’s never a good sign. “God &; Country’s” current box office haul after two weeks in theaters and copious press coverage? $60K. The movie also doesn’t have enough audience reviews at Rotten Tomatoes to give it a score‚ suggesting very few people watched it over the last two weeks. Film critics may have lapped up the film’s message‚ but The Christian Post offered a dramatically different take on the film. The premise of the film is schizophrenic‚ demonizing Christians with inflammatory insinuations that invoke the Third Reich‚ while at the same time deriding them for having a persecution complex because they fear a growing cultural hostility…By stringing together disjointed‚ out-of-context clips that lump together John MacArthur and Billy Graham with obvious charlatans and screeching fringe preachers‚ the filmmakers reveal either their profound ignorance or their cynical desire to assign the pejorative Christian nationalist label as widely as possible.

Emily Detrick‚ @littleraeofhealth on Instagram‚ is a certified health coach who specializes in helping “women balance their hormones naturally using mostly food as medicine.” On this episode of “Relatable‚” Emily joins Allie Beth Stuckey to discuss the sinister (and often dismissed) side of birth control. A long and arduous journey to her own healing led Emily to discover the detrimental effects of birth control when it comes to our hormones. Many women will recall doctors telling them that birth control has a host of benefits‚ including regulating your period and balancing your hormones‚ but according to Emily‚ these are lies. “The second I got off birth control‚ I felt a million times better‚” she tells Allie‚ adding that it felt like “coming home to [herself].” “Basically none of them are good‚” she explains. “I don’t think any woman needs to be on birth control for any reason‚” as birth control “doesn’t regulate anything.” For those who believe that birth control regulates your period‚ Emily attests that “you don’t get a period on birth control” but rather “a withdraw bleed from withdrawing from the fake hormones‚” like “fake progesterone‚ fake estrogen.” And for those who praise non-hormonal birth control methods‚ such as the increasingly popular copper IUD‚ Emily says that not only is “copper toxicity a big issue‚” but also that copper “increases estrogen” and actually “[inflames] your uterus.” Further‚ teenagers and young women who are put on birth control “are 70% more likely to be prescribed antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication.” But that’s not the only “psychological impact” hormonal birth control can have‚ apparently. “You also may be more likely to be bisexual if you are on the pill and that it can actually change who you are attracted to‚” says Allie‚ referencing Dr. Sarah Hill. “I’ve also heard the argument that women may be ... more attracted to more feminine men ... when they are on the pill.” “This is true‚” says Emily. “There’s data‚ there’s studies” to confirm this. “One of the [studies] they did is they showed women on birth control ... AI mockups of men‚ and then they slightly feminized their features‚” Emily explains. “Women on birth control chose the men with more feminine features.” There was also a study called “the sweaty T-shirt test‚” which involved having “a bunch of different men work out in these sweaty T-shirts and put them in bags.” Then female test subjects — some of whom were on birth control and others who were not — were instructed to “smell them‚ essentially smelling their pheromones.” They found that “the women who were on birth control chose the scent of men who were more genetically similar to them‚” which Emily says is problematic considering “the most viable‚ resilient offspring” demand “someone with the DNA farthest from you.” To learn more‚ watch the episode below.

A school principal admitted that he hired a hitman to kill a teacher who he was having an affair with after she told him she was pregnant with his child. The principal allegedly used school funds to pay for the hit‚ according to the New York Post.Cornelius Green — the former principal of Carr Lane Visual and Performing Arts Middle School located in St. Louis‚ MO — pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one count of murder-for-hire and another count of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire for the 2016 killing of Jocelyn Peters.The report noted that the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office agreed to drop the state murder charges if Green was sentenced to life in prison on the federal charges. Green's plea deal ensured that he would not face the death penalty for his horrific crimes.KMOV reported that in 2015‚ Peters became pregnant with Green's child. Sometime at the beginning of 2016‚ Green decided that Peters needed to be killed. Peters was 27 weeks pregnant with Green's child at the time. To carry out the act‚ Green reportedly contacted a childhood friend‚ Phillip Cutler‚ and offered to pay him to commit the murder.Green apparently stole $2‚500 from the middle school to pay Cutler for the crime. And on March 21‚ Cutler traveled to St. Louis from Oklahoma and stayed at Green's home. Green tried to orchestrate an alibi by taking an Amtrak train to Chicago the following day‚ leaving the keys to his vehicle and Peters' apartment with Cutler. Cutler allegedly broke into Peters' home and shot her in the head‚ using a potato as a silencer to muffle the shot.After Green returned to St. Louis‚ he called 911 to report Peters had been shot — "falsely pretending that he had no knowledge of the circumstances leading her death‚" according to court documents.Reports noted that "Historical Precision Location Information obtained from Cutler’s cell phone provider shows that his phone was near the victim’s apartment at that time‚" allegedly putting him at the scene of the crime.Green is set to appear in the Eastern District of Missouri on June 5 for his sentencing hearing. Cutler‚ who has also been federally charged with murder-for-hire conspiracy and murder-for-hire‚ pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. Cutler's trial is expected to start on March 11.

Google’s new AI feature‚ Gemini‚ has come under intense scrutiny for injecting diversity into historical images. When people asked the program to create images of America’s Founding Fathers‚ for example‚ it spat out pictures of black people dressed in colonial attire. It did the same when asked to generate images of German Nazis. However‚ that’s not even close to the worst of it. Once people caught wind of Gemini’s obvious progressive programming‚ they began asking even more pointed questions. Dave Rubin‚ Michael Knowles‚ and Arynne Wexler discuss some of the most disturbing answers Gemini has generated‚ starting with Christina Pushaw’s questions regarding how reopening schools and BLM protests impacted the spread of COVID. “I’m not surprised at all because personnel is policy‚” says Knowles. “This isn’t about how a robot functions ... It's the people who are programming‚ and Google has for‚ I suppose‚ decades‚ now‚ systematically hired extreme‚ leftist lunatics.” “If you plug into Midjourney or ChatGTP or Grok ... you’ll get a more sensible output.” But Pushaw’s question was tame compared to what this user asked Gemini. “It's not surprising‚” says Wexler‚ adding that Gemini is clearly programmed by the same people who argue “gender-affirming care is not child mutilation.” “I remember years ago‚ Zuck and all these other executives would try to say to us‚ ‘It’s the algorithm‚’” but “I am someone who worked in artificial intelligence for a number of years and ... that is absolutely untrue‚” she continues‚ noting that AI should actually stand for “artificial indoctrination.” “Everything isOpposite Day in leftist America‚ and so‚ pedophilia is something that we shouldn't be judging.” Apparently‚ we should also refrain from condemning cultures that practiced child sacrifice as well. When @nosoup4knowles asked Gemini whether or not historical child sacrifice was wrong‚ this was the answer it gave: “This is the inevitable consequence of cultural relativism ... because we in the West lost our confidence in ourselves‚ and so‚ we ceased to believe in the stuff we'd always believed in that made us great. And now‚ we have to pretend that every other people is just as justified in doing what they want to do‚” says Knowles. To hear more‚ watch the clip below.
