#10 Three Injured in Ukrainian Attack on Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant - RT and Mario Nawfal on X and The Dibster
Multiple explosive-laden Ukrainian drones targeted the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on Sunday, hitting several parts of the facility, Russia’s nuclear energy agency Rosatom said in a statement. At least three employees were injured in the attack, the agency added. According to a Telegram post by the facility’s Russian management, one kamikaze UAV struck near the power plant’s canteen, damaging a nearby truck. Another drone exploded in the vicinity of the cargo port. The attack on the plant’s canteen left at least three employees injured, Rosatom said in a separate statement... Since the dawn of COVID-19, the U.S. Government, using American taxpayer funds, has paid Pfizer over $20 billion for its antiviral drug Paxlovid. Notably, that staggering amount is in addition to the tens of billions issued to Pfizer for its failed Comirnaty jab. Like Pfizer’s deadly jab, from the outset, Paxlovid’s clinical trial data demonstrated the drug had little to no success in preventing or treating SARS-CoV-2. Two years later, clinical trial data, officially released yesterday, proves as much, leaving those of us footing the tab hoodwinked. The obvious question is, why keep pushing such an expensive drug if it’s proven ineffective? For starters, as noted by Dr. Pierre Kory, keeping Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir) front and center was critical in the destruction of Ivermectin—the miracle drug that could destroy the multi-billion COVID-19 injection and patented pharmaceutical market, which was swiftly crafted when the pandemic hit. Commenting on the billions made off Paxlovid that would’ve been non-existent if Ivermectin was in the game, Kory remarked... Tennessee lawmakers have passed a bill banning the release of airborne chemicals that critics say are inspired by "chemtrails" conspiracy theories. The bill forbids "intentional injection, release, or dispersion" of chemicals into the air. It doesn't explicitly mention chemtrails, which conspiracy theorists believe are poisons spread by planes. Instead, it broadly prohibits "affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight". The Republican-sponsored bill passed along party lines on Monday. If it is signed by Tennessee's governor, Republican Bill Lee, it will go into effect on 1 July... A massive container ship lost propulsion power in the waters around New York City and was brought to rest near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge Friday night — less than two weeks after failure on another massive cargo vessel caused it to smash into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. The US Coast Guard confirmed that its Vessel Traffic Service received a report that the 89,000-ton M/V APL Qingdao lost propulsion at about 8:30 p.m. as it traversed the Kill Van Kull — the shipping lane between Staten Island and Bayonne, New Jersey. An image shared on X by John Konrad, CEO of maritime-focused news outlet gCaptain, shows the 1,100-foot APL Qingdao floating uncomfortably close to the span that connects Brooklyn and Staten Island... TRAC researchers evaluated data from January 2021 to February 2024 and found that 200,000 asylum or other immigration cases were dismissed because the Department of Homeland Security didn’t file paperwork with the courts in time for scheduled hearings. TRAC, a nonpartisan, nonprofit data research center, is affiliated with the Newhouse School of Public Communications and Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. One of the policies implemented by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, for which he was impeached, relates to changing the detention and removal process. This included mass releasing illegal foreign nationals into the country who were given a Notice to Appear before an immigration court at a future date and location... Former President Donald Trump said he believes abortion should be left to the states in a video released Monday morning outlining his position after months of mixed messages and speculation. Former President Trump's campaign team says it raised more than $50 million at a Saturday evening GOP fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, smashing records for a Republican or Democratic candidate. "It took three Democrat presidents to raise $25 million and one president to raise over $50 million, Donald J. Trump," campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez boasted. Saturday’s fundraiser took place at a private home in Palm Beach, hosted by billionaire and hedge fund founder John Paulson. Among the 100 or so guests will be heavy-hitters like casino mogul Steve Wynn, Bigelow Aerospace Founder and President Robert Bigelow, and former U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. "The response to our fundraising efforts has been overwhelming, and we've raised over $43 million so far," Paulson said in a statement. "There is massive support amongst a broad spectrum of donors." Speaking briefly to reporters as he arrived at the event with his wife, Melania Trump, the former president said, "This has been an incredible evening before it even started because people wanted to contribute to a cause of making America great again, and that's what's happened." Though the fundraiser is expected to take in tens of millions, Trump still needs to close the gap with his Democratic rival, incumbent President Biden, who is reported to have around $192 million on hand compared with just over $93 million for Trump... A highly contagious strain of bird flu is ripping through flocks of major egg producers around the U.S. It’s not just chickens being infected – dairy cows have also tested positive, and one person in Texas is believed to have caught the virus after working with affected cattle. As the Type A H5N1 influenza virus spreads, major egg producers have been forced to kill millions of chickens in attempts to contain the outbreak. It’s an economic loss for producers and may soon become a burden on families’ grocery store bills. “We would expect to see some increase in prices because you’re rapidly pulling a large number of potential eggs out of the market for the next 30 to 60 days,” said Amy Hagerman, a professor of agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University. It's April 8, 2024, the day of the Great American Eclipse. We explain how to watch it, how to get glasses, how to livestream the celestial experience, and more. It's finally April 8, 2024, the day of the total solar eclipse. We've waited for this day for years, and we won't have another one like it for decades. Starting at 2:27 p.m. Eastern time, the Great American Eclipse's path of totality crosses the continental United States, from southern Texas to northern Maine, over the course of 68 minutes. The path is also predicted to cross portions of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. An estimated 34 million Americans are expected to witness the celestial phenomenon. But the rest of America, weather permitting, will have a chance to view a partial eclipse with proper eclipse glasses or an eclipse viewer, such as a pinhole projector or even a kitchen colander. Do not dare try to look at it with your bare eyes or sunglasses! A rare instance of a large alligator forcing its way into a home has been reported in Southwest Florida, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It happened March 28 at a “private residence in Sarasota County,” about a 75-mile drive south of Tampa, officials told McClatchy News. “The 7’11” alligator was captured and live transferred to an alligator farm,” officials said...
