UFO's Are National Security Threat" Pentagon Reports An Increase In UFO Sightings Over The Last 20 Years
> ScienceIn the last 20 years, an increasing amount of unidentified flying objects have been mentioned in the sky. In the first public hearing on UFOs in half a century, a top US defence official told lawmakers on Tuesday. The US security and intelligence services are mainly concerned with determining if these aerobatic objects are connected to dangers against the US. And they must be treated as such "said Democratic Representative Andre Carson of Indiana, who presided over the hearing panel. The UFO hearing this morning was a total joke.

Ed Miliband Calls Rishi Sunak The 'Dude From Silicon Valley' In Blistering Takedown
“Who does he blame for the massive cut to benefits? The dude from Silicon Valley. Indeed, he found it perfectly possible to cut Universal Credit by £20 in the middle of the year in September. “It is not a case of computer says no, it is a case of chancellor says no. “It’s not the case of a computer system not being up to it, it’s the chancellor not being up to it.

Inside the Jan. 6 committee, key questions remain as hearings loom
The House Jan. 6 investigation committee has conducted over 800 interviews with insurrectionists and Trump aides. On a committee dominated by Democrats after Republican House leadership withdrew its cooperation, partisan differences have emerged, though in somewhat unexpected ways. Cheney, for instance, has proved more aggressive than even some committee Democrats in wanting to go directly after Trump. The Justice Department, which is carrying out its own investigation, has become a source of frustration for many committee members. In some respects, committee members will have precedents to draw on: Trump was impeached twice, including once for his role in fomenting the Jan. 6 riot.

Know your risks. Then prepare.
It’s unlikely that people will abandon homes in even the most fire-prone areas, and it’s probably unnecessary, for now. State and local officials can use this new data to prioritize where they spend scarce dollars to reduce risk. In other places, it could mean making sure roads are accessible to get people out and fire trucks in. If I own a home in one of these areas, what can I do and how much will it cost me? Remember, she or he has a financial incentive to reduce those risks.

Opinion: Is San Francisco about to be celebrated by Fox News?
Crime is always too high because one murder a year in San Francisco would still be one murder too many. Despite this, there is a powerful movement afoot to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. The easiest way to understand these politics is as a battle between moderates and progressives in San Francisco. If voters recall Boudin, San Francisco would be placed well to the right of many American cities and counties on issues of criminal justice and, indeed, civil rights. This would be a big symbolic victory for the right, celebrated at Fox News and in conservative San Francisco circles.

Justice Department Sues Casino Mogul Steve Wynn Over Relationship With China
The department said it had advised Wynn repeatedly over the last four years to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, and is suing now because Wynn refused to do so. AdvertisementThough the Justice Department has ramped up efforts to criminally prosecute people who don’t register as foreign agents, officials described this case as the first lawsuit of its kind in more than three decades. A spokesperson for the department declined to comment on why the department had pursued a lawsuit rather than criminal charges. The government in Macau had restricted the number of gaming tables and machines that could be operated at Wynn’s casino, the Justice Department says, and he was scheduled to renegotiate licenses to operate casinos in 2019. Chinese authorities have accused Guo of rape, kidnapping, bribery and other offenses and have sought the return of the self-exiled tycoon.
