Family Takes in Kitten from a Field‚ 24 Hours Later They End Up with 2 More Cats from an Attic and a Shed

A family took in a kitten from a field‚ but 24 hours later‚ they ended up with two more cats from an attic and a shed. RorschachAndreaChristianAbout 1.5 months ago‚ a cream tabby kitten was discovered in a field all alone. The finders had heard her cries for help overnight but couldn't locate her until the next day.She was covered in ants‚ dehydrated‚ very hungry‚ and in need of a foster home. Andrea Christian‚ with the support of St Francis Society Animal Rescue‚ took her in and got right to work.The kitten‚ named Oodelally‚ had some tummy trouble‚ a wound and several ant bites. She was a voracious eater‚ guzzling down the whole bottle of formula in one sitting. OodelallyAndreaChristianAbout 12 hours later‚ another kitten‚ around the same age as Oodelally‚ arrived in Andrea's home.Crumble‚ a calico‚ had been living in an attic with her cat mother and littermates until the mom moved her babies and left her behind. Crumble and OodelallyAndreaChristianFor two days‚ she cried in the attic with no mom to turn to. She was eventually taken to the shelter‚ awaiting foster care. Andrea welcomed her in and paired her up with the cream kitten.Just when she thought that would be all‚ in came a third kitten who needed help. AndreaChristianA tiny tuxedo crawled out from under a shed and into a family's backyard. "(The residents) put him in a box‚ hoping his momma would come back. They never saw a momma cat and didn't know how he got there‚" Andrea told Love Meow.The kitten‚ Rorschach‚ was just pint-sized but had a voice that could fill the room. He screamed at the top of his lungs at feeding time. Rorschach has a big voiceAndreaChristian"Each of them had some struggles but after about two weeks‚ I knew they would be okay."Rorschach explored around the place with pep in his step. He even snuck out of his room into the vast expanse of the house. What he lacked in size‚ he made up for in personality and vocal ability. AndreaChristianCrumble was the first to master the art of eating from a dish. After some hesitation‚ Rorschach followed suit and joined in the feast.Oodelally showed the least interest in growing out of her bottle and refused to wean. AndreaChristian"She tried to bury the dry and the wet food when the other two were eating."Over time‚ the cream kitten accepted being fed kitten food with a syringe‚ yet wouldn't take one bite of her own. "She waited impatiently as I continually reloaded the syringe." Oodelally was the last kitten to grow out of her bottleAndreaChristianAt eight weeks old‚ Oodelally finally decided it was time to eat on her own‚ a momentous step in her journey towards independence. "She was tired of waiting around for me to load the syringe‚ and she dove into her breakfast."Rescuers never stopped searching for Crumble's family from the attic. Through tireless efforts‚ they found the mom and the rest of her litter and got them all into foster care. At eight weeks old‚ she finally decided to eat on her ownAndreaChristianThe trio has bloomed into a rambunctious bunch‚ creating all sorts of playful antics around the house.Rorschach is a bundle of energy with a voice to match. Unlike his foster sisters who leap for attention‚ he prefers rolling onto his back with his paws beckoning for affection. Rorschach‚ Oodelally and CrumbleAndreaChristianThe kittens‚ each with a different beginning‚ found one another through a second chance‚ and are now thriving under the care of their foster family.Soon‚ they will embark on a journey to their forever homes‚ where they will be loved and cherished.

Where Does Oil Come From? Because It Isn't Dinosaurs

You've probably been told at some point that oil is made from dinosaurs‚ thinking that when you are at a gas station you are pumping refined velociraptor directly into your Volvo. As widespread as the belief is‚ it's not true. Oil is not made from the decomposed bodies of ancient dinosaurs. “For some strange reason‚ the idea that oil comes from dinosaurs has stuck with many people‚" geologist Reidar Müller from the University of Oslo explained to Science Norway. "But oil comes from trillions of tiny algae and plankton."As algae and plankton died tens to hundreds of millions of years ago‚ they sank to the bottom of the sea‚ where they accumulated and were buried by layers and layers of sediment. Eventually‚ after millions of years in a high-pressure and low-oxygen environment‚ the algae and plankton got "cooked" and turned into that sticky black oil we humans apparently can't get enough of despite the threat of a climate emergency. From here‚ it seeps upwards until it hits rock it can't make it through‚ requiring humans to drill it out (or some other natural disaster to set it free again).While marine dinosaurs – or a T. Rex that discovered its arms weren't particularly well-adapted to swimming – may find themselves on the bottom of the ocean after death‚ it's unlikely they would get converted into oil themselves. This is partly because an oxygen-deprived environment is needed to convert organic matter into oil. Once dead‚ they would have become a meal for smaller aquatic creatures‚ picking them apart until they got down to the bones‚ long before they could be buried.Now to explain why‚ "if dinosaurs actually existed"‚ their bones aren't everywhere.

Amanpour Scraps With Israel’s Regev: No One’s Questioned Hamas’s Fatality Figures!

Amanpour Scraps With Israel’s Regev: No One’s Questioned Hamas’s Fatality Figures!

Does journalist Christiane Amanpour truly believe the terror group Hamas is a reliable source of combat information? On the Tuesday edition of Amanpour &; Co. (which runs on CNN International and later on tax-funded PBS)‚ Amanpour talked with familiar face Mark Regev‚ senior adviser to Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu‚ and defended the fatality tally put out by Hamas as truthful and accurate. She even ludicrously claimed Hamas’s numbers have never been questioned before. The verbal scuffle began when Regev pointed out what should be obvious to journalists‚ that Hamas is holding children and infants hostage and is “not going to suddenly become humanitarians. They will only release hostages if they're under amazing pressure.”     Amanpour inched toward condemning Israel for violating international law‚ citing a previous video clip mash-up she had run of world leaders suggesting Israel was in danger of violating international law. Regev reiterated “Israel is conducting itself in the framework of international law‚” and argued that Israeli troops on the ground in Gaza could actually reduce civilian casualties by allowing Israeli airstrikes to be more surgical. Then he turned to Hamas’s lack of credibility on combat figures‚ which Amanpour furiously defended as irrefutably true: REGEV: …But it has to be understood‚ first of all‚ the numbers coming out of Gaza concerning casualties are provided by Hamas. There's no other independent verification for those numbers. And so‚ we have to presume they're exaggerated. And secondly‚ they give you no differentiation between of the people who have been fatalities‚ whether they were Hamas terrorists‚ and it's good that they were killed if they were‚ and between civilians caught up in the crossfire. And no one can give you at CNN data that is more precise. AMANPOUR: Yes. But‚ Mark -- REGEV: And so‚ we're all -- the numbers that people are talking about of the Hamas numbers. AMANPOUR: Mark‚ whatever the numbers are‚ and in history‚ nobody's questioned these numbers‚ in all the previous -- and the Hamas was always in charge‚ all the previous operations‚ nobody questioned their numbers‚ and we have seen half of these people or -- well‚ up to half‚ nearly‚ four-plus thousand are children‚ all the authorities are saying that. REGEV: That's Hamas's numbers though. One doesn’t have to go back far at all to see Hamas exaggerating and straight-up lying about casualties – such as the purported 500 deaths in a Gaza hospital after a supposed Israel airstrike that didn’t happen. But Amanpour didn't care about the facts: Well‚ we've seen the pictures‚ Okay. And we did this last week together. We've seen the pictures‚ and it is causing huge unrest and disquiet amongst your closest friends‚ not to mention in Gaza and amongst the Palestinians and the Arab Street…. Amanpour then challenged Israeli intelligence about a Hamas command center underneath hospitals in Gaza. "You keep saying that there is a Hamas bunker‚ command center‚ tunnels underneath these hospitals. So‚ it's fair to ask‚ based on what intelligence? Can you tell us why and how you know that?‚" she chided. A few days later‚ the Israeli Defense Forces released a video of spokesman Jonathan Conricus playing the role of tour guide as he showed off the weapons hidden in just a few room of Al Shifa's radiology wing. Regev responded by pointing out that Israel showed CNN and other journalists footage from the Rantisi Hospital and “the underground tunnel network adjacent to the hospital.” (Although CNN remained skeptical.) Amanpour continued to lecture Regev: OK. So‚ listen‚ Mark‚ I saw that piece. I saw the -- I saw what you showed the journalists. And from what we saw‚ there were no Hamas people in there then‚ then‚ and there were no huge stockpiles of weapons then. So‚ it raises the question‚ where are these people‚ and therefore‚ why is the hospital still a target? This is honestly what I'm trying to understand. The New York Times issued a helpful primer about the elaborate tunnel system in Gaza‚ which could help enlighten Amanpour. Perhaps Hamas‚ which runs Gaza‚ could afford to feed their people and keep the lights on if they weren’t using money donated to Gaza to dig terror tunnels? A transcript is available‚ click "Expand." Amanpour &; Co. on PBS 11/15/23 1:33:00 p.m. (ET)   AMANPOUR: Netanyahu has so far rebuffed any calls to change course. Here now is the prime minister's senior adviser‚ Mark Regev. Welcome back to the program. You're joining us from Tel Aviv. Can I first start by asking you about these really large marches that are happening and what both your government and President Biden has said? Tell us more about these potential deals when a release could happen. MARK REGEV‚ SENIOR ADVISER TO ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER: If we are closer to a hostage release‚ and I'm not sure we are‚ but if we are closer‚ it's because Hamas is under amazing pressure. As you know‚ our forces are now in the middle of Gaza City‚ the epicenter of Hamas's military machine. They're taking on the Hamas terrorists in hand-to-hand combat. The -- we're getting close and closer to the Hamas leadership. They are feeling the pain. They might now‚ I hope‚ move on releasing hostages. But we have to wait and see. AMANPOUR: OK. You said‚ I'm not sure we are. Both your government‚ I believe‚ put out some kind of alert or statement that we received. And President Biden says‚ you know‚ they believe it is going to happen soon. They're making progress. You don't seem to be believing that. REGEV: It's not done until it's done. AMANPOUR: Right. REGEV: No‚ we would be more happy than anyone to see hostages released. But we know who we're dealing with. We're dealing with Hamas‚ a brutal terrorist organization. AMANPOUR: Right‚ right. REGEV: Of the 239 people being held‚ 32 children‚ of them babies and infants. These people are not going to do the right thing. They're not going to suddenly become humanitarians. They will only release hostages if they're under amazing pressure. They're under massive pressure from us at the moment. Maybe that is going to expedite a release. I hope so. AMANPOUR: And also‚ you know because you have exchanged with Hamas. So‚ I guess I'm just asking you as somebody who knows‚ but you are not going there. So‚ what do you make and what does the prime minister make of the pressure now by Israeli people to actually bring them home? We've seen polls showing that most Israelis now think that should be a prime object of the military operation and you're seeing actual marches‚ and they were very pointed angry‚ angry people‚ including‚ you know‚ the granddaughter of the former prime minister‚ Shimon Peres‚ and many others who are very upset that the government doesn't seem to be doing as much as far as they know -- as far as they can see to bring their loved one home. REGEV: So‚ I can tell you and all the people watching that bringing the hostages home is a primary goal in our military operation. Once again‚ the way to do that -- I mean‚ I'd like to tell you that Hamas became‚ you know‚ humanitarians‚ but they're not. They're tough brutal terrorists. We saw what they're capable of when they butchered our people on October 7th. We see what they're doing in Gaza‚ the way they're sacrificing Palestinian lives right and center for their crazy aims. These people will only release hostages as a result of pressure. That pressure is being applied and we believe‚ we know that's the best way to facilitate the release of the hostages. What other alternative is there? To smile at them? AMANPOUR: No‚ no‚ Mark. We're not talking about smiling. These are really smart questions about things that you've done before and things that your people are asking you. Nobody thinks Hamas is humanitarian. But we do know that Israel has gone into deals. In fact‚ 1‚000 plus Palestinians released for one Israeli soldier. So‚ this is where this question is coming from‚ including trying to get you to confirm what the president of the United States says. But let's move on‚ because you're talking about the pressure. You heard‚ because I put a "mash up" of some of your staunchest friends and allies. President Biden‚ I hope there's going to be less intrusive activity‚ those were his words‚ around the hospital. President Macron‚ de facto civilians are being killed. This is not comporting with international law. Prime Minister Sunak‚ the same‚ you have the right to self-defense‚ but you also must observe international law. What do you make of those comments and those feelings now amongst your most staunch allies? REGEV: So‚ I mean‚ I could only embrace what's been said. Israel is conducting itself in the framework of international law‚ and we're acting to defend ourself in a proportional way. And also‚ in a way that is -- differentiates between combatants‚ the Hamas terrorists who are out to kill‚ and noncombatants‚ the civilian population‚ who we don't want to hurt. And actually‚ now that we've got our ground troops on the ground‚ it's my understanding that the number of civilian casualties has not gone up‚ it's going down. That's a good thing. Having ground forces‚ boots on the ground allows us to be maybe more surgical than airstrikes‚ that's a good thing. And we're using those forces to hit Hamas and hit Hamas hard. But it has to be understood‚ first of all‚ the numbers coming out of Gaza concerning casualties are provided by Hamas. There's no other independent verification for those numbers. And so‚ we have to presume they're exaggerated. And secondly‚ they give you no differentiation between of the people who have been fatalities‚ whether they were Hamas terrorists‚ and it's good that they were killed if they were‚ and between civilians caught up in the crossfire. And no one can give you at CNN data that is more precise. AMANPOUR: Yes. But‚ Mark - REGEV: And so‚ we're all -- the numbers that people are talking about of the Hamas numbers. AMANPOUR: Mark‚ whatever the numbers are‚ and in history‚ nobody's questioned these numbers‚ in all the previous -- and the Hamas was always in charge‚ all the previous operations‚ nobody questioned their numbers. And we have seen half of these people or -- well‚ up to half‚ nearly‚ four plus thousand are children‚ all the authorities are saying that. REGEV: That's Hamas's numbers though. AMANPOUR: Let's not -- please -- REGEV: That's Hamas's numbers. AMANPOUR: Yes. But -- REGEV: When you say 4‚000 children‚ that's what Hamas says. AMANPOUR: Well‚ we've seen the pictures‚ OK. And we did this last week together. We've seen the pictures‚ and it is causing huge unrest and disquiet amongst your closest friends‚ not to mention in Gaza and amongst the Palestinians and the Arab Street. But what I want to ask you is this‚ your defense minister has said‚ and I'm really interested that you make a difference now‚ you say‚ presumably‚ you realize that it was way too much by air. And now‚ you say it's more contained and more directed on the ground. Your defense minister has said   that the main objective‚ Yahya Sinwar‚ the head of Hamas‚ military and politically in Gaza‚ is hiding in his bunker. If that's the case‚ do you know where he is? Why don't you go straight after him? REGEV: So‚ first of all‚ I can't unfortunately share with you any intelligence that I might have. All I can say is it's clear that the Hamas leadership whether in Gaza or outside Gaza is a target. Anyone who was involved in orchestrating in commanding‚ in facilitating the October 7thmassacre of our people is a legitimate target in our eyes‚ just as Osama bin Laden might not have himself flown an airline into the World Trade Center‚ but he was the man responsible. So‚ of course‚ the Hamas leadership responsible for the butchering of our people‚ they will be reached and punished. AMANPOUR: Yes. So‚ I guess my question was‚ if apparently your defense minister knows where he is‚ why isn't that the target as opposed to a much wider target? And a concurrent question is‚ you keep saying that there is a Hamas bunker‚ command center tunnels underneath these hospitals. So‚ it's fair to ask‚ based on what intelligence? Can you tell us why and how you know that? REGEV: First of all‚ we know that. And to speak frankly‚ I think most of the people of Gaza City know it too. It's -- if it's a secret‚ it's a secret that everyone sort of knows. The Americans have confirmed‚ their intelligence. The European Union came out and said they know for a fact that Hamas uses the civilian population as a human shield. And actually‚ the Rantisi Hospital‚ the one that our forces reached yesterday‚ we showed to CNN and other journalists the underground tunnel network adjacent to the hospital. So‚ I don't think there's any doubt about this anymore‚ unless one wants to believe Hamas is propaganda. AMANPOUR: OK. So‚ listen‚ Mark‚ I saw that piece. I saw the -- I saw what you showed the journalists. And from what we saw‚ there were no Hamas people in there then‚ then‚ and there were no huge stockpiles of weapons then. So‚ it raises the question‚ where are these people? And therefore‚ why is the hospital still a target? This is honestly what I'm trying to understand. REGEV: So‚ first of all‚ the hospital is not a target‚ right? It's the Hamas terror subterranean network of tunnels and of bunkers and of arms depots and of launching sites for their missiles‚ their command and control‚ that is under the Shifa Hospital‚ but it's also under the other hospitals‚ too‚ as we saw at Rantisi. But we have to destroy that military machine of Hamas and we are destroying it now. Our soldiers are there on the ground and Hamas is feeling the heat. And we will reach the Hamas leadership and we will take them out. AMANPOUR: So‚ can I just ask you a series of questions about the prime minister? So‚ you've seen all the reporting and they're very‚ very good journalists who've done a lot of reporting‚ Israeli journalists‚ Americans and others. And they have reported a series of whatever you might say‚ I'm going to just say mistakes‚ by the government in dealing with Hamas over the years. Most particularly I want to ask you‚ and if you don't know‚ I'd really love you to get the answer for me‚ the report that the military intelligence chief‚ one of them very significant personage‚ went to the prime minister‚ went to the Knesset with classified information talking about how he believed and how intelligence believed that the‚ you know‚ the uproar in your country over the attempt to overturn the judicial situation was weakening the image‚ weakening‚ you know‚ the military and the intelligence in the eyes of the enemy. And apparently‚ the prime minister refused to see them. Then separately‚ General Halevi‚ if that's how I pronounce his name‚ went to see the prime minister in July with a similar set of concerns. And the prime minister refused to see him. Can you tell me whether that's true? And if so‚ why? REGEV: So‚ first of all‚ all these questions will be dealt with. AMANPOUR: No‚ Mark‚ this is -- REGEV: But you have to know -- no. But no‚ I'm answering you‚ Christiane. Christiane‚ it has to be said that Israel in the first months of this year had a very polarized politics and there were demonstrations against the prime minister and their demonstrations for the prime minister and some people supported the judicial reform and others were opposed to it. And we had a very‚ very contentious political debate in this country. But what we saw on October 7th‚ as was reported on CNN‚ is that Hamas didn't ask Israelis when they killed us‚ when they butchered us‚ are we left-wingers or are we right-wingers? Do we like Netanyahu or do we not like Netanyahu? Are we secular or religious? They don't care. They killed Israelis because they are Israelis‚ because there are Jews. There was a report on CNN just before we got on this broadcast about a peace activist‚ a feminist‚ a woman who was butchered by Hamas on the day of the attack And I think this has been a wakeup call for Israelis‚ because as much as we in this country like to debate politics‚ we passionately argue our positions. But what is the truth‚ Christiane? That the Hamas killers don't care about our arguments. They believe this country has no right to exist‚ not in any borders. They oppose any peace. They oppose any negotiated solution. And they believe every Israeli‚ irregardless of his political or her political beliefs‚ is a legitimate target for terrorism. AMANPOUR: OK. REGEV: And that that has brought us together. And as you know -- AMANPOUR: Yes. REGEV: -- parties that were in the opposition have joined the government. We've now got a national unity government. And when this war is won‚ there'll be plenty of time to discuss who was responsible for what and to get back to politics as usual. But at the moment‚ this country is united as never before in dealing with a terrorist threat. We will defeat Hamas‚ we will end its rule in Gaza‚ we will dismantle its military machine. It'll be good for the people of Israel‚ it'll be good for the Palestinians in Gaza too who deserve better than this Hamas terror regime that's ruled them for 16 years and has only brought them pain‚ hardship and poverty. AMANPOUR: That all may be the case. The question though is‚ and I'm talking about Israelis asking about whether this government‚ an emergency government more than a unity government‚ is in fact capable of being‚ as Prime Minister Netanyahu‚ your boss has called himself‚ Mr. Security for all these years. Now‚ according to polls‚ and I'm just going to tell you which poll I'm talking about‚ Channel 13 says like 76 percent of Israelis think he should‚ you know‚ retire -- or rather resign now after the war. So‚ my question is‚ this was a really pointed question because it's about security and he refused to meet the security. It doesn't matter about the -- well‚ it does matter‚ the demonstrations. That's not what I was asking. Why did Mr. Security refused to meet with the security and intelligence chiefs who had worries about something that might happen? REGEV: Once again‚ all these questions can be addressed after the conflict. And I'd remind you‚ and you know this better than most‚ that when we've had security mishaps or challenges in the past‚ we have known in this country how to investigate ourselves. After the 1973 Yom Kippur War debacle at the beginning where we were surprised‚ this country had an investigation led by a team of former military people and Supreme Court justices. And people paid consequences. It was the same after the 2006 Lebanon war‚ there was an official Committee of Inquiry. I'm sure that when this is over‚ we will follow the same pattern. There will be inquiries‚ there will be investigations‚ questions will be asked. All the people from the prime minister down who are in positions of authority will have to answer those questions. That's the way it's done in the democracy. AMANPOUR: I mean‚ I could ask‚ do you think this prime minister will survive as others haven't? You mentioned after the Yom Kippur war. But what I want to finally ask you is the -- there is a report that the American defense secretary‚ Lloyd Austin‚ spoke to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and essentially‚ essentially‚ and I'm paraphrasing‚ cool it on the northern border‚ worried that over provocation or over activity by Israel could spark something wider. Can you confirm that? REGEV: I cannot confirm it. And I can tell you what our policy is in the north. Israel wants to be able to focus all our military efforts on Hamas in the south‚ on destroying the Hamas military machine and getting our hostages back. In the north‚ we prefer deterrence. We don't want to see an escalation in the north. Unfortunately‚ as you know‚ we can't be sure that that's not Hezbollah's interest in -- on the country. Maybe Hezbollah feels it has to come to the aid of its sister terrorist movement. And therefore‚ we have to be prepared. And my message to Hezbollah‚ who might be watching us at this moment‚ is that they should be very‚ very careful. Because if Hamas took us by surprise on October 7th‚ and we paid a huge price in blood on October 7th for not being ready‚ we are now mobilized. Our eye is on the ball. And if Hezbollah decides to start something serious‚ they can expect an overwhelming Israeli response. We will respond expeditiously and with force to any escalation by Hezbollah. AMANPOUR: I fully understand that. I get what you're saying‚ just that you also‚ like all of us‚ watched Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last week‚ who basically said they did it. We didn't do it. To me‚ it was like this was a Hamas problem. The question I was asking you is‚ is it -- can you confirm whether the defense minister of the United States warned Israel also not to be provocative and escalatory in your attempt to be deterrent on the northern border? REGEV: No‚ I've been in meetings with my prime minister‚ I can assure you. Our policy is victory in the south and deterrence in the north. But once again‚ we don't know what Hezbollah is going to do. You refer to Nasrallah's speeches‚ but we're watching not what he says‚ we're watching what he does. And we know that he shares that same extreme theology‚ ideology‚ like Hamas. He's a terrorist‚ not just in Israel's eyes‚ even the Arab League has declared Hezbollah a terrorist organization. He's an Iranian proxy. He's‚ as I said before‚ like the twin sister of Hamas in Gaza. And we're watching the ball closely. We would be irresponsible to do otherwise. AMANPOUR: Mark Regev‚ thank you very much for being with us tonight.

Eric Adams announces sweeping NYC budget cuts due to migrant crisis‚ slashes NYPD to lowest levels since 1980s

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced massive budget cuts for the Big Apple with far-reaching cuts to the NYPD force‚ education‚ and libraries. City officials say the deep budget cuts stem from the current migrant crisis‚ and warn there could be future financial restraints if the illegal immigrant situation continues. Effective immediately‚ the New York Police Department must freeze all hiring and reduce the number of law enforcement officers from more than 33‚000 to 30‚000. The last time New York City had fewer than 30‚000 officers was in 1984‚ according to the Independent Budget Office.Patrick Hendry – NYC’s police union president – warned that the budget cuts would hamper the police department's ability to keep New Yorkers safe. “This is truly a disaster for every New Yorker who cares about safe streets‚” Hendry said. “Cops are already stretched to our breaking point‚ and these cuts will return us to staffing levels we haven’t seen since the crime epidemic of the ’80s and ’90s. We cannot go back there.”While he was a mayoral candidate‚ Adams made campaign promises to beef up the police force and railed against the "Defund the Police" movement. The New York Fire Department will have overtime limited. Any civilian and light-duty firefighter vacancies will be eliminated. The budget cuts will slash the budget of the New York City Education Department by more than $1 billion – $547 million will be cut this fiscal year and another $600 million in 2025‚ according to Fox 5 New York. The outlet added‚ "There will be expansive 5% budget cuts at every city agency‚ which are expected to happen again two more times next year."The city’s Summer Rising program – which provides children with recreational activities during the summer months – will be forced to reduce hours for middle school students. The New York Times reported that the city is "eliminating thousands of spots for universal prekindergarten for 3-year-olds" and " community schools are being cut by $10 million in the current fiscal year."Michael Mulgrew – president of the United Federation of Teachers – noted that the budget restraints would cause 653 schools to make midyear budget cuts — approximately 43% of the school system.Mulgrew declared‚ "Class sizes will rise‚ and school communities will be needlessly damaged."The NYC school system has already been stressed due to the migrant crisis after an additional 8‚000 students enrolled in the city's public school system this year – the first enrollment increase in eight years. Starting in December‚ public libraries will close branches on Sundays because of the budget cuts. NYC library leaders stated‚ "We also will be reducing spending on library materials‚ programming‚ and building maintenance and repairs. Without sufficient funding‚ we cannot sustain our current levels of service‚ and any further cuts to the libraries’ budgets will‚ unfortunately‚ result in deeper service impacts."Adams described the budget cuts as "the most painful exercise I’ve ever done in my professional life."Adams said on Tuesday‚ "It is more than painful for New Yorkers — it’s painful for us. I’ve seen a great deal of just personal pain from the members of my team. These are initiatives that we fought hard for."Adams called on the Biden administration to provide federal aid to the city for the migrant influx. “No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own‚ and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington‚ D.C.‚ today’s budget will be only the beginning‚" Adams said in a statement.“For months‚ we have warned New Yorkers about the challenging fiscal situation our city faces‚” Adams continued. “To balance the budget as the law requires‚ every city agency dug into their own budget to find savings‚ with minimal disruption to services‚” he said. “And while we pulled it off this time‚ make no mistake: Migrant costs are going up‚ tax revenue growth is slowing and COVID stimulus funding is drying up.”Adams warned that there would be even more budget cuts if the federal government doesn't provide more financial and logistical aid for the surge of illegal immigrants. New York City has already spent $1.45 billion on the "asylum seeker humanitarian crisis."Adams said the migrant crisis would cost New York City an estimated $11 billion over the next two years.An estimated 10‚000 illegal immigrants have recently funneled into New York City per month. While on the campaign trail‚ Adams proclaimed that New York City would be a sanctuary city.In October 2021‚ Adams declared: "We should protect our immigrants. Period. Yes‚ New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Elon Musk vows to file 'thermonuclear lawsuit' against left-wing Media Matters for 'fraudulent attack' and major X boycott

Elon Musk has vowed to file a lawsuit against left-wing Media Matters for a "fraudulent attack" against his X social media platform. The threat of a lawsuit comes after several major companies pulled out of advertising on Musk's social media network. "The split second court opens on Monday‚ X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company‚" Musk declared on the X social media platform on Friday‚ before adding‚ "Their board‚ their donors‚ their network of dark money‚ all of them." — (@) Media Matters for America is the progressive outlet that specifically targets conservatives and has received funding from George Soros. Media Matters has a long history of putting pressure on companies that advertise on conservative networks or with right-wing personalities. Media Matters published an article on Friday alleging that advertisements on the X platform were presented with content that the progressive outlet deemed to be anti-Semitic‚ white nationalist‚ anti-LGBTQ‚ and neo-Nazi. By Saturday‚ several prominent companies had reportedly ceased advertising on X – including IBM‚ Lionsgate‚ Paramount‚ Warner Bros.‚ Discovery‚ Comcast‚ NBCUniversal‚ Apple‚ and Disney.Musk included a screenshot of a press release from X that claimed Media Matters "completely misrepresented the real user experience on X‚ in another attempt to undermine freedom of speech and mislead advertisers."The news release said the social media company had experienced a "number of attacks from activist groups like Media Matters and legacy media outlets who seek to undermine freedom of expression on our platform because they perceive it as a threat to their ideological narrative and those of their financial supporters."The company formerly known as Twitter alleged that these groups "try to use their influence to attack our revenue streams by deceiving advertisers on X."The social media company alleged:Once they curated their feed‚ they repeatedly refreshed their timelines to find a rare instance of ads serving next to the content they chose to follow. Our logs indicate that they forced a scenario resulting in 13 times the number of ads served compared to the median ads served to an X user. Of the 5.5 billion ad impressions on X that day‚ less than 50 total ad impressions were served against all of the organic content featured in the Media Matters article. For one brand showcased in the article‚ one of its ads ran adjacent to a post 2 times and that ad was seen in that setting by only two users‚ one of which was the author of the Media Matters article.The statement added that "X will protect the public’s right to free expression" and "will not allow agenda-driven activists‚ or even our own profits‚ to deter our vision."X CEO Linda Yaccarino said in August that brands are "protected from the risk of being next to” potentially disturbing content. She added that the company's content control would reduce risks for advertisers. Yaccarino said on Friday‚ "We will continue to protect the freedom of voices and opinions of users on X! Stand with us."She added‚ "Protecting the freedom of speech could not be more urgent and important. Now‚ more than ever!""X has been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination‚" Yaccarino stated. "There's absolutely no place for it anywhere in the world."On Saturday‚ Media Matters issued a statement about the potential lawsuit from the tech billionaire. “Far from the free speech advocate he claims to be‚ Musk is a bully who threatens meritless lawsuits in an attempt to silence reporting that he even confirmed is accurate‚” said MMFA president Angelo Carusone. “Musk admitted the ads at issue ran alongside the pro-Nazi content we identified. If he does sue us‚ we will win.”Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Antony Blinken’s plot to destroy Israel‚ exposed

Antony Blinken’s plot to destroy Israel‚ exposed

It is now crystal clear that Secretary of State Antony Blinken is exploiting the Iranian-backed Hamas war to destroy the existing state of Israel through the use of threats‚ blackmail‚ leaks‚ the media‚ diplomatic backstabbing‚ the Arab states‚ the European Union‚ and the United Nations. In a State Department memo dated Monday‚ November 13‚ Blinken explained America’s posture toward the Arabs in Gaza. It’s madness. He wrote: As I said in private and in public‚ we believe Palestinian people's voices and aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza. We believe in Palestinian-led governance of Gaza‚ with Gaza unified with the West Bank. Gaza's reconstruction must be supported with a sustained mechanism. We also underscored America's firm opposition to actions that would undermine efforts to build lasting peace and security. No forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians from Gaza - not now‚ not after the fighting stops. No reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict. No attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza. No reduction in the territory of Gaza. No use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism or other violent attacks‚ and no tolerating the use of the West Bank to carry out such attacks. No more violence from extremist settlers in the West Bank. These steps are not ends in themselves. They must lead to Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in states of their own‚ with equal measures of security‚ freedom‚ opportunity‚ and dignity. That’s not something we can put off discussing until after this crisis is over. This discussion must happen now. This also explains the current pressure campaign by leftists in Israel to try to topple the Netanyahu-led conservative government and replace it with radical left-wing parties that will deliver Israel to the effective control of the U.S. State Department‚ where Blinken‚ a mere appointed Cabinet secretary‚ will determine Israel's fate. Israel will not survive the Blinken plan — certainly not for long. This has been the plan for Israel since Barack Obama was president‚ when Blinken was deputy secretary of state. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) was 100% right when he went to the Senate floor to excoriate Blinken and refused to support his confirmation. Blinken‚ the Biden whisperer‚ is behind pouring $100 billion into rearming Iran‚ Hezbollah‚ Hamas‚ and the Houthis in Yemen. Blinken set the Middle East on fire immediately upon taking office nearly three years ago. He has lifted or refused to enforce virtually every sanction on Iran. Blinken destroyed the popular uprising against the ayatollahs‚ when the Iranians sought to remove their murderous regime‚ by backing Tehran over its people. Worse‚ Blinken chose Robert Malley‚ a Marxist supporter of Iran‚ as the U.S. envoy to negotiate another nuclear deal. And what did Malley do? He installed a high-level Iranian spy ring in D.C. and undermined our nation (and Israel) at every turn. The Obama-Biden-Blinken “realignment” is well under way‚ and the consequences are dire for Israel and the United States — and indeed for the entire Middle East and the world. It is a hideous and diabolical plan‚ being instituted right now without any transparency‚ involvement from Congress‚ or the knowledge and consent of the American people. It is the brainchild of a small cabal of rogue‚ radical left-wing foreign policy arsonists who could easily trigger World War III. The question is: How long will this go on before Blinken is stopped? Where are the House Republican committee chairmen? Where are the Senate Republicans? Where are conservative think tanks? Where are the conservative media? (This publication excepted‚ of course.) I understand that the left-wing corporate media and the Democratic Party are worse than useless. In fact‚ they are propagandists for this administration’s malign policies‚ from Thomas Friedman at the New York Times to Jamie Raskin in the House of Representatives. But if there is not an organized pushback immediately‚ a relentless and public demand for accountability and transparency‚ and an immediate impeachment inquiry directed at Blinken (successful or not)‚ then evil will prevail. Never forget all the disasters the Biden whisperer has unleashed in a mere three years running American foreign policy and the death‚ inhumanity‚ and impoverishment he has imposed on one region and society after another. Enough is enough. Editor’s note: A version of this article appeared originally on X (formerly Twitter).
