"A friend's father in Northeast Indiana bought a large property with a pond and decided to set up a trail cam overlooking this pond. My friend's dad has been freaked out the past few months after capturing this on his trail cam‚ then proceeds to show me 2 screen captures of what may be a Bigfoot. This thing looked to be six and a half to eight feet tall‚ thick all over especially in the shoulders‚ and covered in cinnamon-red hair. It has a pointed head and you can even you can even see this hairy beast's reflection in the pond. I'm certain it's legit after further inspection and just going off the reliable source I've known since I was a little kid. In the photo‚ it looks like this thing was checking itself out in the water or holding an object like animal feet or a club. I don't know."NOTE: I don't know what triggered the trail camera in these images since the creature was a fair distance away. Anyway‚ what are your thoughts?

From the Facebook group "Mandela Effect Glitch In The Matrix." This account was forwarded to me by my researcher friend C. Radu:"I have come across several accounts of people who say that on the evening of January 27‚ 2024‚ something strange happened in the world‚ as if there was a "slip" of time globally. Several people say that time "dissolved" for several hours. Was it a secret experiment? Here's the original post (from January 28‚ 2024) that started it all:""I swear me and my boyfriend lost time last night. I got home around 9:15pm with food‚ I know the time because I texted my boyfriend at 8:41 asking what he wanted from Wendy’s. I was hungry and ate as soon as I came home while reading the FB news tab. Next thing I know‚ my boyfriend is freaking out because it’s 12:10 AM and he’s saying there’s just no way that much time passed. He had been downstairs in the kitchen cleaning a little bit from a mess he made earlier. Then I’m also freaking out because I’m still eating my food. I know I eat slowly‚ but not that slow!It’s so freaking weird and I can’t explain it. There’s no way I would have spent that much time reading news headlines and maybe skimming a few articles. FB news doesn't even have that much news lol. He definitely wouldn't take 3 hours cleaning the kitchen. It’s tiny and all he had to do was run the dishwasher and wipe the counter.It was 12:10 AM when it should’ve been 10 PM at the absolute latest. I would’ve been eating really cold food if it took me 3 hours to finish it. It was just a cheeseburger and medium fries. What's even more crazy is I had a frosty that wasn’t even melted. It was just like it always is after maybe 20 minutes‚ just a little bit melted right around the top. How would it not be completely melted if it was sitting out for 3 hours? I’m stumped. Never had anything like this happened before‚ and it happened to both of us. We kept talking about it because we were both so shocked. We don’t use any substances and we don’t drink either‚ so we were completely clear-minded and fully aware. Has anyone else had this happen before?"These comments followed the post:* "Happened to me tonight! I relaxed after preparing dinner. I checked my emails‚ mostly deleting junk‚ and looked at my watch. It was 20:33 and we were going to watch a family movie. Then I took a shower and went out‚ and it was 00:18! I didn't even wash my hair! My child and fiance told me that time seemed to "fly by."* "I went into the kitchen last night around 20:30 to get some popcorn and put on a movie. I remember looking at the clock. I watched 2 episodes of my show which are only about 45 minutes each (no commercials) and I came back to the kitchen and it was almost 12:30?!? I live alone and I actually said out loud "What the hell!?" I live in Canada near Toronto (Ontario)."* "I'm in the UK and had a very similar thing happen to me last night with very oddly close timing! I am absolutely amazed! For me it was 20:45‚ then suddenly 30 minutes later it was 00:20!"* "The same thing happened to me‚ in the same time frame‚ on Saturday evening‚ January 27‚ 2024‚ between 20:30 and 00:15. I live in North West Australia. I believe there is at least a 12-hour time difference between the United States and Western Australia. I don't know how/why these weird time slips occur‚ but this isn't the first time I've noticed this."* "I seriously wonder if anything happened in our time zone last night! I live in Massachusetts. I texted two friends at the same time‚ the last message being around 8:40pm. I watched a movie with my husband and daughter‚ and I thought it was strange that both friends didn't answer me. Then I woke up a little after midnight to my phone notifications about 6 times‚ all of which were replies from my two friends. I spoke to them this morning and told them it was so strange that they responded at the same time so many hours later; both insisted they responded immediately shortly after 8:30 p.m."* "This is so weird because I just looked through all my messages from last night (January 27th) and couldn't find any between 20:00 and 00:00. All my conversations stopped suddenly‚ but after midnight they started again. I remember being on the phone almost constantly last night.""These are just a few messages‚ but many have experienced something like this. What follows from all this? On the evening of January 27‚ 2024 (Saturday)‚ some people apparently experienced a time "slipping" phenomenon‚ as if time completely disappeared for 2-3 hours. Interestingly‚ electronics (mobile phones) were also affected‚ so it cannot be said that it was only a psychological phenomenon‚ on a mental level. What happened then? Was a scientific experiment done in the greatest secrecy? Has time travel or teleportation been attempted‚ which also affected our physical reality? Because it seems that the phenomenon has affected the whole globe‚ from the USA to Great Britain and Australia." C.

A Liverpool‚ UK couple was outside at night admiring the moon and stars when a winged humanoid with bat-like wings flew into their line of sight. This incident occurred 11 years ago.The following account was forwarded to me:"OK so I’m going back about 11 years ago (I was pregnant with my son at the time‚ but only just). I know it was a long time ago but my now husband and I remember this as clearly as it was yesterday‚ and we were both completely sober.Liverpool‚ UK. Cold night. We were staying with my parents that night. At the time they lived in an area called Halewood. For context‚ it is near the Halewood Triangle‚ an area that has numerous UFO sightings‚ but what we saw‚ well‚ it wasn’t a UFO. Well‚ it was‚ but not the type that looks like a machine of some sort. Anyhow‚ we’re both in dressing gowns outside‚ my husband having a smoke. We are wowing at how clear the night was. The moon was low and making everything glow but the stars were very visible. We decided it was pretty enough to stay out a little longer and lap up the beauty of the night sky. We pull up a longer and he lays down‚ I lie between his legs also facing the sky and we’re discussing the stars.Out of nowhere‚ we see what I can only describe as 'Batman‚' swoop in a straight line from our left over to our right and vanish over the trees in the distance. It didn’t flap its absolutely ENORMOUS wings‚ it didn’t make a sound. It just glided across the night sky‚ maybe 40 feet above us. It had a human body‚ legs‚ head maybe 7 feet tall if it was standing‚ and bat wings! As I saw it I literally thought I’d lost my mind. I sat up and watched it vanish. I didn’t realise my husband saw it until I looked at him for confirmation like “Did you freaking see that?” Without saying a word I knew he saw it too. We laughed hysterically because we just couldn’t believe what we saw. I still don’t think we have processed what we saw that night!I can’t pick out any major features as it was dark. But it was clear to see as the moonlight bounced off it. There is absolutely no animal that resembles this that I’m aware of. We get herons‚ large birds of prey‚ etc which we see very often‚ daily almost. It absolutely was not any kind of creature I had ever encountered before. It certainly wasn’t any bird that we know of and the bats here are minuscule.Has anyone else ever seen anything like this? Me and my husband still talk about the time we saw 'Batman.'Added a very simple pic of a drawing I made. The wings were probably twice as long as this but I couldn’t fit them on the paper. The lines on the wings are arms. I couldn’t see fingers or toes. I couldn’t see its face as it appeared to have its head up looking ahead of itself‚ so what I saw was the underneath of its chin‚ if that makes sense‚ as the side we were looking at was its belly/underside. It was grey in colour but its wings were slightly darker. No hair from what I could make out. It very clearly had 2 legs which it kept tightly together."

A group of teens are out roaming the neighborhood‚ ding-donging homes. Then‚ after visiting a certain home they discover a translucent humanoid-shaped entity is chasing them.The following account was forwarded to me:"I was in my late teens and living in Lake Orion‚ Michigan‚ visiting my mom's friends and their kids for the Fourth of July weekend. Me and my friend and their kids were roaming around the city area late at night. We ended up walking down some residential roads‚ it was really quiet‚ probably around 2 AM‚ with no cars driving around.We had ding-dong-ditched probably 5 houses at that point‚ and the kids started pressuring me to do it. It was my turn‚ and they were teasing me. So‚ they directed me to ring the doorbell of the house we were standing in front of. It was a smaller white house‚ square-shaped‚ with some metal fencing around the back for the owner's dogs. I walked up and there was no doorbell‚ so I walked back. They told me to "just knock then!" So‚ as someone who didn't want to kill the fun‚ I went back and knocked to find they had already taken off running.I ran after them‚ and I don't know if I believed what they were saying‚ but even my friend said they saw it. Apparently‚ there was a face in the window the first time I went up‚ and the house is notoriously haunted. I was a little spooked‚ and out of breath‚ we must have run half a mile.I looked behind me to see if there was anything scary following us and I saw this figure that I have always described as looking made out of water. A humanoid figure is translucent‚ which makes the background behind it wavy and has a defined outline. I figured my mind was playing tricks on me and just kept walking joking around with the others‚ looking back every so often. It was following us‚ and I could see it under the streetlamps every so often. The leader kid‚ who wanted to ding-dong-ditch houses‚ looked to see what I was looking at and exclaimed to his friend‚ "Do you see that?" and took off running. My friend looked back and took off running‚ and I was again left running after them. We ran all the way back to his house‚ probably three miles. No sign of it behind us anymore‚ but I have never been so shaken or scared in my entire life. I was inconsolable.I was scared for a while I would see it again and find out it had been following me the entire time. It's been over 10 years now‚ and I've never seen anything like that again."

If you thought the men in the Wild West were tough‚ just wait until you hear about the women of the era. From owning their own businesses to out-smarting thieves‚ women of the Wild West were not to be trifled with. They used their bravery and intelligence to prove themselves just as capable as men‚ and in some cases even pretended to be men so they could vote or fight in battle. Source

President Joe Biden promised to veto any stand-alone aid bill for Israel‚ and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and most House Democrats voted against one. The administration maintains that Israel’s security is so “sacred‚” it must be tied to a doomed legislative package containing entirely unrelated issues that deal with border security and Ukrainian aid. Which‚ of course‚ makes absolutely zero sense. Does anyone believe that the president would veto a stand-alone bill for Ukrainian aid? Or what about a stand-alone bill for “humanitarian” aid to Palestinians? Color me skeptical. Now‚ a stand-alone border security bill? That he’d definitely veto. Priorities‚ you see. In the years before former President Barack Obama‚ a vote to help a longtime ally against a proxy terror army that—not incidentally—murdered 30-plus American citizens would have been a no-brainer. Today‚ a Democrat who takes an unrepentantly pro-Israel position puts himself in a precarious position. Biden is free to play games with Israeli aid because there will be no political repercussions. Most Democrats don’t really care anymore. And those who do are in the pro-Hamas wing—whether openly or functionally. “Forget No Labels. Biden’s Third-Party Peril is on the Left‚” warns Politico. Numerous polls‚ writes Jonathan Martin‚ find that young leftists are angry about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Not the mass rape and murder of civilians‚ mind you‚ but Israel’s efforts to root out the attackers. Many of these people are socialist ideologues‚ many are identitarian dimwits‚ and others are just antisemites. Some‚ like members of “the Squad‚” are all of the above. Whatever the case‚ they are always “angry” at Israel. These are the people who were demanding “cease-fires” before Israel had even begun retaliating for Oct 7. Still‚ the situation remains something of a balancing act for Biden. There are still enough Jewish Democrats and independents who feel a historic kinship with Israel. Enough that the president doesn’t attack Israel unequivocally. Like Obama before him‚ Biden uses Benjamin Netanyahu as a strawman‚ framing the prime minister as some kind of warmongering fascist. Here’s a little-known reality: Right or Left‚ Netanyahu or someone else‚ no Israeli prime minister would act any differently in Gaza. Israeli voters rightly demand it. Just as it would have been impossible to lead the United States after 9/11 on a plank that gave al-Qaeda a pass‚ it would be impossible to hold power in Israel and allow Hamas to continue to operate next door. In any event‚ Biden acts like a statesman in public but simultaneously leaks angry quotes about Netanyahu to placate the growing anti-Israel Left. Recently‚ for example‚ we learned that Biden supposedly called Israel’s prime minister a “bad f—ing guy.” (Notice that Democrats have tougher words for Israelis than they ever do for mullahs who murder Americans.) This leak reminded me of the time in 2014 when Obama’s stenographer Jeffrey Goldberg “reported” that White House officials referred to Netanyahu as “chickens–t.” Now‚ I don’t mean to demean people like Ben Rhodes‚ who survived a creative writing MFA program at New York University‚ but Netanyahu did serve in the Israel Defense Forces‚ saw combat‚ and led a special force unit that specialized in freeing hijacked planes. Netanyahu was shot in one of these operations. So‚ I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s less of a coward than anonymous White House officials. Certainly‚ he is a better “guy” than the gaggle of Rob Malley types the president surrounds himself with. A few weeks ago‚ good guy Biden was accusing Israel of engaging in “indiscriminate bombing‚” which he knows is a lie. “Like everyone in the administration and any Democrat with a pulse‚” Politico explains‚ Biden is “deeply suspicious of Benjamin Netanyahu.” The president’s “deep-seated fear‚” we learn‚ is that Netanyahu “is eager to drag the U.S. into a wider war in the Middle East.” This is the favorite blood libel of radical Democrats and far-right influencers. They must be quite excited to hear that the president is no longer “hypnotized” by Israel’s evil‚ as Rep. Ilhan Omar might say. That said‚ the United States has no obligation to assist any nation—not even a longtime ally that shares our objectives and values. I suspect Democrats are probably a couple of presidential cycles away from turning entirely against Israel. Still‚ it is peculiar that the same people who are purportedly terrified of being dragged into a Middle East war by Israel have no deep-seated fears about the perils of funding a war against a nuclear power in Europe. On the contrary‚ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy‚ who runs a country far more authoritarian (not to mention corrupt) than Netanyahu’s Israel‚ is treated as the sainted defender of democracy by Washington and the media. It’s almost as if the arguments being used by Democrats to distance themselves from Israel don’t really make any sense.

An “elderly man with a poor memory.” That line and many others from special counsel Robert Hur’s report on President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents released on Thursday now hang over his presidency. From not remembering when he was vice president to forgetting when his term ended to failing to come up with the year his son Beau died‚ “even within several years‚” the report paints a disturbing picture of a man in severe mental decline. Hur’s description of Biden’s mental state may have been used to justify not prosecuting the president for his illegal mishandling of classified documents‚ but it can hardly give Americans confidence in the man now running for a second presidential term. If Biden is like this‚ it’s fair to ask who is actually running the executive branch? Despite all the efforts by the Biden administration and its sycophantic media to cover for the president‚ questions about Biden’s fitness for office are now out in the open and impossible to dismiss. Given Biden’s angry‚ combative‚ and hardly reassuring press conference on Thursday evening following the release of the report that included even more bizarre mental lapses‚ it seems the president is unlikely to resign. Questions are now being asked: What can be done to remove a president unfit for office? Here’s my rundown of four options that have been floated to remove Biden. 25th Amendment Using the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office has been the option most discussed following the release of the special prosecutor’s documents. A few Republican lawmakers have already demanded that Biden’s cabinet invoke this potential remedy. I agree with @RepLuna—the fact that President Biden is suffering from serious cognitive issues is a significant threat to national security.His cabinet members need to invoke the 25th Amendment.If they don’t‚ they—and he—should be impeached. We don’t need this. https://t.co/spYNOXRiR2— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) February 9‚ 2024 Merrick Garland has a duty to invoke the 25th Amendment to his fellow Cabinet members. Or prosecute Biden. If he won’t prosecute‚ then invoke the 25th now— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) February 9‚ 2024 The numbers are growing. Though so far‚ no Democrats have made similar 25th Amendment or resignation calls. Democrat politicians along with news commentators and anchors on corporate media news channels relentlessly talked about using this amendment to produce something like a deus ex machina to remove President Donald Trump from office. Of course‚ 25th Amendment analyses from serious-sounding Ivy League doctors discussing the president’s unfitness for office have notably disappeared from CNN’s programing now that Biden occupies the White House. So‚ what exactly is the 25th Amendment? The states ratified it in 1967 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy after questions were raised about what to do in instances where a president is incapacitated. In an age in which communication is instant and a president is expected to be able to make large‚ potentially world-changing decisions on a moment’s notice‚ it seemed like there needed to be some kind of mechanism to ensure that the country always had a chief executive. The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and the Cabinet to submit to Congress their recommendation that the president is unfit for duty and the vice president must step in immediately to take up the president’s responsibilities. Here is the critical Section 4: Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide‚ transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office‚ the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president. Putting this into effect requires a two-thirds vote by both houses of Congress if the president disputes the opinion of the cabinet members. The 25th Amendment has been used on a few occasions. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush used it when they had medical operations that would leave them incapacitated for several hours. The problem is that the 25th Amendment is more of a Band-Aid for an acute problem rather than a permanent solution. Given Biden’s long-term decline‚ is it likely that his cabinet members and Democrats in Congress are now going to sign off on a permanent removal a year before an election? It’s worth noting that one of the people making this decision would be Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin‚ a man who suddenly disappeared for a few days in January to get cancer treatments without notifying the president or pretty much anyone else in the executive branch. Impeachment Another solution to presidential unfitness for office that’s been floated is impeachment. In a certain sense‚ there is a lower threshold to impeach a president than to remove him through the 25th Amendment. It requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate to convict the president but only a majority vote in the House to impeach him and send it to the Senate for trial. The hurdle in this case comes down to the necessary requisite of the president committing “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Declining mental acuity doesn’t seem to fit this standard. That‚ of course‚ doesn’t mean that Biden couldn’t be otherwise impeached. The question of his handling of classified documents remains highly problematic. The special counsel’s testimony hardly exonerated Biden. Hur concluded that “President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.” In addition‚ the House is still considering impeachment over his potential involvement with his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings‚ among other charges. So‚ impeaching Biden would come down to the House investigations into potential illegal activity and the political will to vote the president out. Mental Fitness Test This is a more novel—and I’d argue toothless—suggestion to deal with Biden’s infirmities. In 2020‚ then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for Congress to create a panel to conduct a medical exam that would “determine whether the President is mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.” At the time‚ Pelosi and Rep. Jamie Raskin‚ D-Md.‚ argued that they weren’t doing this simply to attack Trump but to make sure aging presidents can keep doing their job. “The population is getting older; politicians are getting older‚” Raskin said in an interview when he proposed the legislation. “It’s not hard to think that there will be future situations where the president’s physical and mental state may create issues for us. So‚ we just need to make sure that we have a structure and a process in place to address it.” Raskin commented on Hur’s report this week only to say that he thinks that there are essential differences between “presidents or vice presidents like Joe Biden who occasionally behaved in sloppy ways with respect to where they were taking documents” and Trump. He made no comment about Biden’s mental state‚ nor did he propose bringing back his proposed medical examination panel. One way or another‚ the proposal is generally pointless‚ as Heritage legal scholar Hans von Spakovsky noted back in 2020. “There is no need to change the current procedures that already exist under the 25th Amendment. This bill is nothing more than a political stunt and a waste of time‚” he wrote. Election The last solution for removing a failing president from office is perhaps the most mundane one: an election. While Biden has clearly avoided cameras and public appearances more than other recent presidents‚ he’s also demonstrated clear signs of severe decline beyond his long history of verbal gaffes. That’s something Americans will have to consider in the November election. Biden could resign tomorrow. His staff could conclude he’s incapable of going on. Congress could go along with his cabinet’s suggestion or separately impeach him. If the president is unable to handle his duties‚ then for the sake of the country‚ he should leave office. Unfortunately‚ our elected officials often don’t do what’s in the best interest of their country. So‚ it’s ultimately up to the American people to decide whether they think the president is fit or unfit. Have an opinion about this article?

Looking at 4 Options. appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Critics raised the alarm as the Virginia Senate passed a bill Friday that would legalize assisted suicide‚ otherwise known as “medical aid in dying.” Based on the bill’s language‚ it would permit doctors to give their terminally ill patients a “self-administered controlled substance” to end their lives. The bill passed the Senate 21-19. While supporters say the legislation offers a compassionate alternative to “lingering death” for those with terminal diagnoses‚ critics warn that such laws are ripe for abuse‚ as governments‚ health insurance companies‚ and even family members may pressure vulnerable people to end their lives prematurely to save money on medical expenses. “Virginia’s bill SB280 offers no real protection for vulnerable patients‚” the National Association of Pro-Life Nurses told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement. “Instead‚ it embraces a profit-driven industry that seeks to exploit patient suffering. This extreme‚ out-of-touch legislation erodes the trust of the heath care profession.” The association said its members “strongly oppose any legislation that undermines the patient-provider relationship.” Virginia Catholic Bishops Michael Burbidge of Arlington and Barry Knestout of Richmond said in an official statement they were “alarmed and deeply saddened” by the bill’s introduction. The faith leaders condemned the bill‚ saying that assisted suicide “facilitates tragedies and makes the most vulnerable even more vulnerable. Legalizing it would place the lives of people with disabilities‚ people with mental illnesses‚ the elderly‚ and those unable to afford health care—among others—at heightened risk of deadly harm.” The legislation requires patients to request their assisted suicide orally twice and once in writing with the opportunity to rescind their request at any time. It also “grants immunity from civil and/or criminal liability” to those who comply with the bill‚ such as medical professionals and patients’ family members. “Society is on the wrong track when the public policy goal is to eliminate those who might suffer rather than address their needs‚” Kristi Hamrick‚ spokeswoman for the national pro-life organization Students for Life Action‚ told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement. “Students for Life Action supports protections for life from conception to natural death.” Hamrick said. “It’s clear that when people become ill or face prejudice for perceptions of their abilities‚ precious lives can be lost.” Proponents of the bill hailed the legislation’s advancement. Barbara Green‚ a Virginia resident with metastatic pancreatic cancer‚ said in a statement with nonprofit Compassion &; Choices‚ that she was “grateful” to the bill’s sponsor‚ Sen. Ghazala Hashmi‚ D-Chesterfield‚ for her work on this “urgently needed legislation for terminally ill Virginians.” “I plead with House members to approve this bill‚” Green added. “I should not have to leave Virginia to go to Washington‚ D.C.‚ to achieve bodily autonomy. I do not see how anyone who has watched a loved one suffer through a lingering death could vote against this compassionate legislation.” The district legalized assisted suicide in 2017. “Virginia voters will be grateful to lawmakers for showing compassion and love by passing this legislation and providing their dying loved ones with the option to avoid needless suffering‚” Melissa Stacy‚ northeast advocacy manager for Compassion &; Choices Action Network‚ said in a press release. Stacy added that she trusts members of the Virginia House of Delegates to “hear the voices of Barbara Green and many other Virginians who desperately want and need the option of medical aid in dying.” The bill’s sponsors did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by publication time.
