The witness captured a series of UFO / UAP photos in Island Park‚ NY. This occurred on 9/21/2023 at 7:01 PM ET during a global summit at the UN Building in Manhattan.I received this information:"Hi Lon.I put these pics together to show what I captured on 9/21/23. I was at the Laundry Palace on Austin Blvd that evening‚ situated approximately 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and the Long Beach Boardwalk (Island Park‚ NY). I came outside between wash cycles and noticed what a cool-looking sky we were having‚ and I thought it would be a good photo opportunity. I stood in the parking lot facing west‚ towards JFK International and NYC beyond. Snapped a pic‚ turned 45 degrees to the south‚ and took 2 more of the sky over the beach area. I went and sat in my car reviewing the pics and immediately noticed these rectangular patterns of lights in the sky. Pic A shows 2 sets of lights directly above the light pole on the left side. Pics B and C show the same lights except in singular. B captures the UFO at a 5 o'cock position relative to the moon‚ and C has it at 3 o'clock‚ in time sequence. Apparently it (they) was traveling SSE and then rising directly up as it got over the ocean. All within that minute 7:01PM to 7:02PM.Out of curiosity‚ I retrieved a map of the region‚ Xed the sighting locations‚ and drew a straight line back to where it appeared they were traveling from. The line took it smack to the middle of Manhattan. Well‚ that's exactly where the UN Building is located‚ and it was the day of Global Summit had taken place‚ which weirdly‚ hosted all of our geo-political enemies including China‚ Yemen‚ Iran‚ Palestinians‚ and others (a list from an article is attached). Could it be aliens were also present? Or at least observing? 2 weeks later the globally upsetting massacre in Israel and war started in Gaza‚ and the proxy war with Iran had begun in Yemen. At 7PM it would have concluded for the day. It is curious they apparently were there that day."

Gene in Albuquerque‚ New Mexico called in to tell of his bizarre Bigfoot story. He was hunting and encountered a Bigfoot near Gallup. He shot the creature‚ and it literally vanished!“Gallup is a border town on the Arizona / Mexico border on I-40‚ you cross into Arizona. It's an Indian reservation‚ north. It's all Native American Navajo. I lived out there. I was married to a Navajo girl. I lived out in the south of Gallup. When you go south you go up in altitude. You go up about 8 thousand feet‚ 85 thousand feet. It's all pine trees in these mountains. Her family had land way out in the middle of nowhere. I mean it was beautiful. I can't even begin to describe where I was at. Very few belladonnas - white people.I was hunting out there. I got up really early one morning. Left the hogan. We lived way out there. I took off and was actually looking for elk. It was that season. And I'm way up there in the mountains. I'm out there probably about 7 o'clock. The sun's coming up‚ and something's following me. I'm an ex-Navy corpsman. I know when something's following me. I'm about an hour and a half back in and I'm way out in the middle of nowhere. So I go around and I end up on a box canyon on top of this mesa that overlooks the boonies. It's like a thousand-foot drop-off. Okay. Real quick‚ I head back towards the box canyon. I was trying to get away from whatever was following me.All of a sudden I hear these thundering footsteps and I lean up against the wall and here comes about 7 horses out from the middle of nowhere into this box canyon. Wild horses. I get around the box canyon and there it is. It jumps off the top of a twenty-foot dead-end box canyon. I was at the bottom. I'm looking up and now I'm looking at it. And it jumped‚ one foot down‚ one foot up on the side. It was exactly what everybody says that you guys talk about (Noory says Bigfoot) Yeah... and I'm in the middle of the Indian reservation on the top of a little mesa. It blew my mind. It looked right at me. I was less than fifty yards from it. I took off running. I didn't freeze. I took off running. I was armed to the hilt. I ran around the box canyon and got out of the box canyon as quick as I could.Then something threw a rock at me. It was a huge rock. I'd say it weighed about 8 pounds. It would have killed me. I looked and I tripped out. At 120 to 200 yards there it was‚ and it looked at me. I'm telling you. It blew my mind. It threw an 8-pound rock at least 120 yards. And this thing was not small. This thing was huge.Okay. I was armed with a .270‚ 4 by 15 by 15. And I am a crack shot. Let me tell you what. I hit it! I hit it! It took two steps and poof it just disappeared into thin air. It was like it was never there. The footprints were there but there was no blood. True story! dude‚ I know I hit it. I watched it change expression.(Noory asks how tall it was) Ah man‚ it had to have been 8 and a half feet‚ probably weighed close to 600 pounds. I don't know where it's from but wherever it came from‚ when I hit it‚ it had the ability to just disappear into thin air. You know‚ I looked. I followed the footprints. I walked the 120 yards. It wasn't that far from the top of a mesa it had nowhere to go. Never ever have I seen it again and never ever have I gone back‚ not by myself.”Source: Coast To Coast AM - July 15‚ 2016NOTE: Quite an interesting encounter‚ even though I have heard similar accounts‚ especially in the area around Gallup and other parts of the Navajo Nation. Disappearing Bigfoot ('furry ones') has been noted before.

The 2020 election involved a criminal voter fraud scheme with mass absentee ballots and phony voter registrations‚ according to the Justice Department and the New Jersey attorney general. This verdict and indictment happened in 2023. Prosecutors in Massachusetts and New York brought election fraud charges in the closing weeks of December. The Justice Department secured a guilty verdict against a congressional candidate’s spouse—Kim Phuong Taylor—from a federal jury in November in Sioux City‚ Iowa‚ on 52 counts regarding causing absentee ballots to be fraudulently requested and cast that occurred in two elections. Kim Taylor’s husband‚ Jeremy Taylor‚ ran unsuccessfully in the 2020 Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District‚ then ran successfully in the general election to be reelected as a Woodbury County supervisor. In late October‚ New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin announced that Paterson City Council President Alex Mendez is facing more charges in his election fraud case stemming from a 2020 race. Mendez was previously indicted in 2021 regarding actions in the election. The Attorney General’s Office alleges Mendez personally collected ballots and oversaw the fraudulent mailing of ballots while members of his campaign stole ballots from residential mailboxes and discarded several that did not cast a vote for their candidate. Mendez had three co-conspirators‚ prosecutors said. As explained in my book “The Myth of Voter Suppression‚” election fraud cases are more easily detectable in some states than others. And far too often‚ remedies to curb absentee ballot fraud are unfairly smeared. Some high-profile stories have prompted Democratic politicians and much of the media to trot out their talking point that voter fraud is a farce. Another talking point is that those rascally red states are prosecuting election fraud cases as a means to infringe on voting rights. But in the last quarter of 2023‚ related indictments or adjudicated court cases occurred in various states. On Dec. 21 in Lawrence‚ Massachusetts‚ City Councilor-elect Fidelina Santiago and an ally were indicted on charges including illegal voting‚ conspiracy to vote illegally‚ and obstruction of voting‚ CBS affiliate WBZ-TV in Boston reported. The charges‚ brought by Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker‚ stem from the November 2023 election after first being reported by Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin’s office. Also‚ just days before Christmas in Queens‚ New York‚ a 32-year-old man was indicted on charges of casting 20 falsified absentee ballots in the Democratic primary in 2022‚ Fox News reported. Queens County District Attorney Melinda Katz emphasized: “Every vote has to count. Election integrity is the foundation of a viable‚ working democracy.” The Queens man faces 140 charges. Beyond casting fake ballots‚ prosecutors say he obtained approval for 32 out of 118 ballot applications. Among the most high-profile cases is one in Bridgeport‚ Connecticut‚ where some of the alleged fraud from the Democratic mayoral primary in September seemed to have been caught on camera. This led Mayor Joe Ganim—who served time for a previous public corruption conviction when he was mayor about two decades earlier—to accept full responsibility‚ WSHU-TV reported. Ganim‚ however‚ said he wasn’t aware that a Democratic operative was stuffing ballots into a drop box outside Bridgeport City Hall and caught on camera in the act. A state judge tossed Ganim’s primary victory a week before the November general election‚ calling the evidence of fraud “shocking.” A Texas state appeals court overturned the result of a Laredo City Council race‚ ruling that Ricardo Rangel Jr. was the rightful winner of a 2022 election. This came after the alleged involvement of city police officers in casting illegal votes‚ the Laredo Morning Times reported. These legal cases highlight how voter fraud can be committed‚ emphasizing the critical need for robust laws on election integrity. The prosecutions and convictions brought within the past three months—ranging from illegal voting and ballot tampering to fraudulent registration—underscore the vulnerabilities in the electoral system. As these cases unfold‚ they also underscore the importance of continuous efforts to strengthen election laws and protect the vote as we move into 2024—enabling us to safeguard the democratic foundations of the United States.

Hannah Neeleman‚ a Utah-based cattle farmer and mother of eight‚ is perhaps the most popular Instagram “tradwife”—a growing category of social media influencers who reject the not-so-traditional 9-to-5 workforce in favor of homeschooling their children‚ homemaking or running a family business. Though her content is entirely wholesome‚ she (and other tradwife accounts) are not without controversy. In the case of Ballerina Farm‚ followers recently uncovered that Daniel Neeleman‚ Hannah’s husband‚ is the son of the founder and former CEO of JetBlue‚ whose estimated net worth is $400 million. Her kitchen stove‚ prominently featured in many of Hannah’s videos where she bakes sourdough bread‚ farm-raised beef‚ and other dishes‚ costs a minimum of $20‚000. For those who laud their simple lifestyle as cattle farmers‚ many felt blindsided by the wealth enabling their smooth transition to homesteading. After all‚ starting a farm requires many high-cost purchases on the front end‚ from the land‚ equipment‚ and animals‚ forcing many farmers into perpetual debt. Yet Hannah and other tradwife accounts will easily maintain their prominence going into 2024. For many women‚ who increasingly report “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” and disillusionment with the “girlboss” lifestyle‚ these influencers offer an idyllic alternative to urban life. They are illuminating a deeper hunger among women‚ especially among Generation Z. A quick search on Google Trends shows that the term “tradwife” gained popularity in 2018‚ but peaked in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated women’s return to the home. Instead of being confined to religious or ultrawealthy women‚ the tradwife movement entered mainstream discussions. It offered women the chance to reclaim the ingredients of happiness—faith‚ family‚ community‚ and meaningful work—back from the career-focused model they grew up with. Popular online accounts (explored here and here) tend to show women who don the clothes and lifestyle that they perceive women in a previous era embodied: shirtwaist dresses‚ aprons‚ a rejection of formal work outside the home‚ and a heavy emphasis on homemaking and care for children. Instead of finding the home stuffy‚ boring‚ or trivial‚ many women found greater purpose and satisfaction than they previously imagined. Initially‚ the pandemic gave women the ultimate “permission slip” to explore the domestic realm (stay inside to stay alive). Later‚ popular and aesthetically pleasing tradwife accounts gave women the encouragement they needed to combat the outspoken expectations that all women‚ even mothers‚ ought to rejoin the 9-to-5 workforce.   It’s worth considering why Gen Z women‚ who have the most professional opportunities and fewest barriers to education‚ work and politics‚ would flock in large numbers to tradwife influencers. No doubt the online accounts are more intense in their expressions of femininity‚ homemaking‚ or anti-feminist sentiment than the average follower‚ but then‚ this is always the case with influencers. For Gen Z women who have observed the unhappy zero-sum game that is the battle of the sexes‚ many feel that the modern world‚ for all its promises‚ has failed them. They’re looking for an older‚ and truer‚ model for how to live a good life. Or‚ as Carmel Richardson said‚ “There are too many elders who give bad advice about marriage and family. I am trying to become the matriarch I want to see in the world.” Similarly‚ it’s worth asking why this movement provokes many others to mockery or disgust. As one influencer said‚ “What if their husband leaves them? Then how will they support themselves?” For women who grew up observing the impact of no-fault divorce‚ family breakdown‚ the sexual revolution‚ and the rigid careerism of the 1990s‚ it seems as though their plan for survival is to depend on no one‚ especially a man‚ to provide for them. The exhaustion and subsequent disenchantment this has produced in Gen Z is enough to spark a counterrevolution. The harm is not borne equally‚ either. As both Aaron Renn and Mary Harrington have pointed out‚ the current workforce has meant that for elite or upper-class women to work‚ they require other women‚ who would rather stay home with their own children‚ to serve as nannies and day care workers just to make ends meet. Many tradwife accounts encourage women‚ insofar as they can‚ to return to their own homes and release poorer women from the expectation of handling their child care‚ cooking‚ or cleaning. Notably‚ a Refinery29 article recognized this appeal for minority women: “Traditional marriage is the key to Black women’s liberation from being overworked‚ economic insecurity‚ and the stress of trying to survive in a world hostile to our survival and existence.” Implicit in the tradwife model‚ of course‚ is the financial and ideological support of a husband. It requires husband and wife to work together in distinct roles toward a shared vision—one that ideally allows each the margin to flourish in their given space. In this way‚ tradwives represent a sort of anti-fragility that‚ in the words of Nassim Nicholas Taleb‚ is not merely resilient in the face of difficulty‚ but grows stronger because of it. At their best‚ tradwives require more of the men around them. Rather than trying to replace the men in their lives (father‚ husband‚ perhaps employer) when they fail‚ such tradwives hold them accountable to provide‚ protect and grow within the family. Few things could sound scarier to a woman who has been failed by a man she thought she could trust through divorce‚ unfaithfulness‚ or abandonment. Nonetheless‚ many women are realizing that the happiness they desire requires reliance upon a husband and other family members to succeed. Whether it’s a corporate girlie‚ an academic‚ or a tradwife‚ each dreams of and relies upon a wealthy patron to support the lifestyle she wants to live. While some tradwives denounce all work “outside the home‚” many run small businesses‚ write or blog‚ and contrary to the Luddite stereotype‚ manage savvy social media influencer accounts. They take the time and flexibility that their lifestyle offers and seek creative uses of their time that bless their family‚ their community‚ and the causes they care about. Certainly‚ some aspects of the tradwife movement range from alt-right pagan beliefs to unrealistic forms of live-action role-play. At the heart of it‚ however‚ is a positive attempt by many women to embrace marriage and motherhood. Countercultural movements tend to overcorrect to provide the next generation of women with a moderate option between the two ideological extremes of careerism and the rejection of all “paid work.” For Gen Z‚ the result may be that women receive the flexibility and support to pursue a family and work amenable to their goals and the demands of each season.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL: Joe and Serena Wailes revealed last month that their 11-year-old daughter was assigned to share a bed with a boy who identifies as a transgender girl on an overnight school trip. Their story has led to more parents coming forward with similar allegations‚ according to a new demand letter first obtained by The Daily Signal. “There has been an outpouring of support for the Wailses from the Jefferson County community‚” writes Katherine Anderson‚ senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom and director of ADF’s Center for Parental Rights. “We have been approached by many parents who are similarly concerned about your current policy and practice. We also discovered that what happened to the Wailes family was not an isolated incident within your district.” “In fact‚” she continues‚ “we have spoken with other families whose children were placed in the same room with children of the opposite sex at Outdoor Lab.” Outdoor Lab is an outdoor education program in the western United States where “students are immersed in an outdoor academic setting where they spend their time learning about themselves and how they fit into the world around them‚” according to the program’s website. The program‚ which did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Signal‚ is “a distinct program within Jeffco Public Schools‚” and engages about 5‚000 sixth-grade students every year. “As you know‚” writes Anderson‚ “Outdoor Lab is a longstanding‚ highly anticipated‚ and required component of the sixth-grade curricula in JCPS.” 2024.1.11-Wailes-Response-LetterDownload Anderson then revealed that ADF has received reports of sixth graders of the opposite sex being placed in the same cabin‚ as well as a high school counselor being placed in the same cabin as children of the opposite sex. ADF shared with The Daily Signal that in the first scenario‚ sixth grade girls were placed in the same room as a sixth grade boy who identifies as a transgender girl. In the second scenario‚ an 18-year-old high school girl who identifies as a transgender boy was placed in the same room as sixth grade boys. This incident involving the 18-year-old is particularly concerning‚ Anderson indicated‚ since “in addition to staying in the same cabin as sixth graders‚ counselors at Outdoor Lab are also in charge of supervising showers to ensure students do not take too long.” Families are specifically asked not to visit their children during the week while they attend Outdoor Lab‚ according to the organization’s “Parent Packet &; Packing List” materials‚ since this may contribute to homesickness. Students also “do not have phone privileges‚” the guidance notes. Anderson highlighted this fact in the letter to the school district‚ saying: “Considering that students at Outdoor Lab cannot contact their parents during the trip‚ it would be up to an eleven-year-old to face this invasion of privacy alone.” “Here‚” she added‚ referencing the situation in which the 18-year-old biologically female counselor stayed in a cabin with sixth grade boys‚ “the child did not feel comfortable speaking up during the trip‚ and the parents did not discover this invasion of their child’s privacy until the trip ended. This cannot be the ‘individualized arrangement’ your policy envisions.” In the Wailes’ case‚ their daughter was able to call her mother from the hotel bathroom to share that her bedmate was‚ in fact‚ a boy. The Wailes family had called on the Colorado-based Jefferson County School Board and Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland in early December to clarify “whether JCPS will continue this practice of intentionally withholding information about rooming accommodations from parents like the Waileses‚ who object to their children rooming with a student of the opposite sex‚ regardless of the other student’s gender identity.” WATCH: This practice renders it impossible for these parents to make informed decisions about their children’s privacy‚ upbringing‚ and participation in school-sponsored programs‚” reads their December demand letter‚ which The Daily Signal previously reported. “Additionally‚ our clients request information related to JB R-1 and the ability to opt out of this rooming policy for all future school trips.” The Waileses describe how their daughter‚ who is in fifth grade‚ went on a JCPS-sponsored trip to Philadelphia and Washington‚ D.C.‚ in June 2023. JCPS had repeatedly told parents that the boys and girls on the trip would be roomed on different floors—and chaperones told the students that boys would not even be allowed to visit the girls’ floor‚ as well as vice versa‚ according to the letter. Serena Wailes also went on the trip‚ though she was not a chaperone. The Wailes’ 11-year-old daughter‚ who is identified in the letter as “D.W.‚” was assigned to a room with three other students‚ according to the demand letter. Two of these students were girls from her school‚ and the third student was a boy who identified as a girl (named in the letter as “K.E.M.”) who went to a different school. D.W. and K.E.M were told that they would share a bed‚ and that evening‚ when the students were in their room together‚ K.E.M. reportedly revealed to the girls that he is a boy who identified as a girl. “We were definitely not aware of that before we went on the trip‚” Serena Wailes told The Daily Signal. The mother shared that this young boy was presenting as a girl‚ wearing girls’ clothing‚ and had longer hair. Uncomfortable at the thought of sharing both a room and her bed with a boy‚ D.W. snuck into the bathroom and called her mother. Then she went downstairs and met her mom in the lobby to discuss the matter. School chaperones called one of the trip leaders‚ Principal Ryan Lucas‚ who called the boy’s parents‚ according to the letter. “K.E.M.’s parents confirmed their child’s transgender gender identity and that K.E.M. was to be in ‘stealth mode‚’ meaning students on the trip would not know about their child’s transgender status‚” the letter reads. After a good deal of trouble‚ chaperones finally agreed to move the male student‚ with a different female student‚ to another room. “Throughout the entire evening‚ K.E.M.’s privacy and feelings were always the primary concern of JCPS employees‚” the letter states. “After JCPS disregarded D.W.’s privacy and the Waileses’ parental rights‚ JCPS then silenced D.W.‚ thus infringing on her freedom of speech‚ when a JCPS teacher told the three girls that they were not allowed to tell anyone that K.E.M. was transgender‚ even though K.E.M. voluntarily chose to share this information.” According to the demand letter‚ the school district’s policy is‚ “in most cases‚” to room students based on the gender they identify as‚ rather than their sex. The Wailes parents have two fourth-grade children registered to attend a trip to New York‚ Washington‚ and Philadelphia in 2024‚ and they emphasize in their letter that the district must clarify its policies for room assignments for students‚ as well as parental ability to opt children out of sharing rooms with children of the opposite sex. WATCH: NEW: This week we sat down with Joe + Serena Wailes‚ the parents of an 11-year-old girl shocked to discover on her school trip that she had been assigned to share a bed with a boy who identified as a trans girl.Joe and Serena share their nightmare story with @DailySignal: pic.twitter.com/w847Oi7nnO— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) December 21‚ 2023 In the Thursday demand letter‚ ADF expresses concerns that the school district failed to state whether parents can opt their children out of any policy that rooms children by their gender identity rather than their biological sex. Jeffco Public Schools had responded to ADF on Dec. 21‚ according to a letter reviewed by The Daily Signal‚ claiming that neither the supervising chaperones nor the private tour operator knew that the student in question was a boy who identified as a transgender girl. ADF responds by asserting‚ “That’s not the relevant question here. This was a Jefferson County-sponsored trip‚ so the district’s knowledge‚ rather than that of the individual teachers on the trip‚ is pertinent.” “Policy JB-R requires that the ‘school shall maintain a mandatory permanent student recordthat includes a student’s legal name and legal gender‚'” ADF continues. “Therefore‚ even if the student‘enrolled for the trip as a female‚’ the district’s permanent record still reflects the student’s male sex. The district knew about the student’s sex and allowed the student’s parents to choose whether their child was roomed with male or female students. Our clients are merely asking for similar treatment. They would like the same opportunity to decide whether their daughter is roomed with male or female students.” “Your stated policy allowed one family to make an informed decision beforehand‚ while the Waileses were not given that consideration‚” the letter continues.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. As part of Elon Musk’s pledge in support of free speech‚ his company X has played a pivotal role in protecting a University of Illinois student from disciplinary measures. The university withdrew its action against Juan David Campolargo following X’s legal intervention. Campolargo‚ who faced potential expulsion from campus housing over a social media post‚ found an ally in Musk’s platform. X disclosed on Wednesday that the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had reversed its decision to penalize Campolargo. The student had been under scrutiny for allegedly breaching the university’s code of conduct with a post on X about a closed university event offering free food. From Reclaim The Net in November 2023: “The issue centers on Campolargo’s promotion of an event on X‚ which he described as open with free food‚ but was‚ in fact‚ a private conference. This led to allegations against him for breaching the university’s code of conduct. “Facing potential disciplinary actions like conduct probation and expulsion from campus housing‚ Campolargo found an ally in X. Lawyers from Schaerr Jaffe‚ backed by X Corp‚ cautioned the university in a letter dated November 14 against any punitive measures‚ arguing that such actions would infringe on the student’s First Amendment rights.” X‚ standing behind Campolargo‚ hired the Schaerr Jaffe law firm to represent him at no cost and even threatened legal action against the university. The platform argued that penalizing Campolargo for his post would infringe upon his First Amendment rights. The university is a publicly funded university and is therefore bound by the First Amendment.

GOP Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has accused Big Tech of engineering electoral outcomes through censorship measures. This comes following YouTube’s banning of a popular conservative online personality who had just conducted an interview with Ramaswamy. GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy and video creator shaneyyricch have both vociferously criticized YouTube. As per shaneyyricch‚ his channel had racked up a substantial 150‚000 followers and had garnered over 185 million views in merely three months. Despite this‚ it was terminated without any warning or given justification by YouTube. A ban slapped on him for violating community rules‚ he insists‚ had not been preceded by any strikes against his account. Undeterred‚ he promised to keep generating content on X and Rumble. In the wake of his unexpected ban‚ shaneyyricch shared the video he recorded with Ramaswarmy on X‚ soliciting opinions on why it could’ve possibly led to the termination of his YouTube channel. As part of the content in consideration‚ Ramaswamy elaborates on several proposed changes for the electoral process‚ including one-day-only voting‚ making the Election Day a national holiday‚ mandating voter IDs‚ and sticking to paper ballots. In a public denunciation of YouTube‚ Ramaswamy declared‚ “Big Tech censorship to rig an election…who would have ever imagined.” He then threw an open challenge to Google‚ stating‚ “If Google is going to rig this election‚ just end the charade &; say so. That seems to be the message they’re sending.” The post Vivek Ramaswamy Accuses Google of Attempting To “Rig This Election” After YouTube Deletes the Channel of shaneyyricch‚ a Creator Who Interviewed Him appeared first on Reclaim The Net.
