Ethel Kennedy, human rights advocate and widow of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, died on Thursday after suffering a stroke last week and being hospitalized. She was 96. Her death was announced by her grandson Joe Kennedy III in a post on X. “It is with our hearts full of love that we announce the passing of our amazing grandmother, Ethel Kennedy. She died this morning from complications related to a stroke suffered last week. Along with a lifetime’s work in social justice and human rights, our mother leaves behind nine children, 34 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom love her dearly,” said the former Massachusetts Congressman. ... Sirhan Sirhan made her a widow in 1968 by gunning down her husband while he was running for president, NBC News reports. Airplane manufacturer Boeing is preparing to significantly slash its workforce amid a strike and the company’s aircraft safety issues. The company is planning to cut ten percent of its workforce — approximately 17,000 people, CNBC reported on Friday. The move comes “as the company’s losses mount and a machinist strike that has idled its aircraft factories enters its fifth week,” the article notes, adding Boeing is also delaying the launch of its 777X wide-body plane until 2026. CEO Kelly Ortberg is more than two months into his tenure and has been tasked with helping the company regain stability following significant issues with safety and manufacturing. One example of a safety issue was when a Boeing plane carrying 174 passengers lost a wheel in midair after taking off from Los Angeles International Airport in July, according to Breitbart News, noting that it was the second such incident this year. Another incident happened in May when a Boeing plane made an emergency landing in Indonesia due to an engine fire. There were 468 passengers on board the jet, per Breitbart News. California officials are actively blocking Elon Musk’s SpaceX from launching rockets in the state because of his support for Donald Trump. According to The Los Angeles Times, members of the California Coastal Commission, a state agency controlled by Governor Gavin Newsom, made no secret of the fact that their decision was based on Musk’s support for Trump and the Republican Party’s platform. The commission’s decision is also likely a retaliation for Musk’s decision to pull most of the company’s operations out of California. Back in July, Musk said that the passage of a California law preventing from making rules requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender was the “final straw,” and he would be moving the company out of the state. Spanish researchers have claimed that DNA and other analyses indicate that Christopher Columbus likely came from a Jewish family in Spain. The 15th-century man credited with the discovery of the Americas has been traditionally recognised as an Italian who hailed from the Republic of Genoa and who sailed under a Spanish flag... The DNA also showed a “western Mediterranean” origin, yet it was not conclusive as to which Mediterranean country the Columbus family came from. Yet the findings, published in a primetime documentary in Spain on Saturday to coincide with the country’s national day, claimed that Columbus was almost certainly not originally from Italy. In addition to the DNA evidence, Prof Lorente Acosta pointed to an analysis of around 40 letters signed by the explorer, which the researchers claimed showed no signs of influence by the Italian language. The team highlighted letters written to a bank in Genoa by Columbus which were still written in Castilian Spanish rather than Italian. Spanish historian Francesc Albardaner, who has long argued that Columbus came from the Catalan region of eastern Spain, said that his research points to the explorer coming from a family of Jewish silk spinners from the Valencia region of Spain. “Jews could only spend three days at a time in Genoa by law at that time,” Mr Albardaner noted. Albardaner argued that Columbus likely chose to obscure his heritage and faith to avoid religious persecution against Jews common in Europe at the time, including during the Spanish Inquisition. The era saw the forced conversion of Jews to Christianity and an order of expulsion of those who refused to convert in 1492, the same year Columbus set sail from Spain... There have long been suggestions that Columbus was Jewish. Professor of Jewish Studies and History at Pennsylvania State University Tobias Brinkmann has noted that traditionally Jewish given names, such as Abraham and Jacob, were common among members of his maternal line. Columbus is also said to have selected many Jews as well as those who were forced to convert to Christianity, known as “conversos”, to staff his crew as astrologers, navigators, and translators. Others have even speculated that the true purpose of his explorations may have been motivated by a desire to find a new land for Jewish people to settle in free from persecution. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky accused North Korea on Sunday of sending troops to Russia’s army and once again appealed for more support to prevent “a bigger war”. Zelensky’s comments came days after visiting several European capitals to press his case for more military and financial help in the war against invading Russian forces. “We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like in North Korea,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “It is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about the transfer of people from North Korea to the occupier’s military forces. https://www.breitbart.com/news/zelensky-says-nkorea-sending-troops-to-russian-army/ In a devastating blow to the Democrat’s Green New Deal agenda, the solar panel farm at Lake Placid, Florida, was ripped apart by Hurricane Milton, exposing the inherent vulnerabilities of relying on so-called “green energy.” The 380-acre Lake Placid Solar Power Plant, was meant to symbolize the future of energy, but after Hurricane Milton’s landfall, it now stands as a symbol of the failures of environmental utopianism. Now, viral footage shows the mangled array of panels, symbolizing both the fragility and limitations of a “renewable-only” energy approach in high-stakes weather events. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/hurricane-milton-exposes-green-new-deals-fragility-costly/ A new cancer treatment protocol involving repurposed drugs Ivermectin (commonly known as a ‘horse dewormer’), Fenbendazole (a ‘dog dewormer’), and Mebendazole has recently passed peer review and is being heralded as a potential breakthrough in cancer therapy. According to the protocol released recently, initial results suggest that combining ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole within this protocol may offer improved survival outcomes, especially when integrated with dietary interventions such as ketogenic diets, which reduce cancer cell fuel sources. Early case reports have shown positive responses, including tumor size reduction and disease stabilization in advanced-stage patients who had exhausted other options. While this protocol’s initial approval and peer review are promising, further clinical trials are required to validate its effectiveness and safety in larger populations. For 17 consecutive nights, a squadron of mysterious drones breached the airspace over Langley Air Force Base, home to some of America’s most advanced military assets. Despite the base’s state-of-the-art defenses, military personnel were left perplexed and concerned, watching each night as the drones crossed Virginia’s restricted airspace without deterrent. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the bizarre drone activity has left military commanders, including U.S. Air Force General Mark Kelly, scratching their heads. Kelly watched in disbelief as drones zoomed across the night sky at more than 100 miles per hour. These aircraft flew over restricted zones, even passing near Navy SEAL Team Six’s home base and Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval port in the world. Yet, despite their frequency and proximity to these high-value targets, no action was taken. The drone swarm over Langley is yet another embarrassing display of indecision by the Biden-Harris administration. Instead of a decisive military response, the drones were allowed to carry out their nightly missions unimpeded for 17 days. It wasn’t until December 23rd, 17 days after the incursions began, that the drone activity stopped—likely only because whoever was behind it gathered all the intelligence they needed. Since the breach, the facility has reportedly upgraded its detection systems, but officials still have not identified who was responsible for the incursion. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/mysterious-drone-fleet-breaches-u-s-military-airspace/ @patrician Tomorrow I will call my Representative Jim Banks. This is outrageous. 17 days and no response?! Biden is almost daily an exasperation. Thank you! They also mentioned in the article the "infamous Chinese spy balloon incident, where Biden’s Pentagon allowed a surveillance balloon to float across the entire continental U.S. before finally shooting it down." He finally ordered it shot down after people noticed it and questioned why it was flying over sensitive sites. @patrician I called Congressman Banks’ office. I complained about the drones that were allowed to invade the airspace over our base for 17 days. I said that Biden should not be discouraging Israel from going after Hezbollah, and I brought up the controversies surrounding Walz as a teacher and his many China trips. Congressman Banks was excluded from the January 6 committee along with Jim Jordan by Nancy Pelosi back when it was first formed. He’s a good man. I call his office often. I’ve been a political junkie since high school. They recognize my voice. 😂 On Monday China has launched large military drills encircling the self-governing island of Taiwan, which Taipei has blasted as an "unreasonable provocation". China's PLA military deployed warships and fighter jets to send a "stern warning" against "separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces". The PLA Eastern Theater Command deployed joint operations of the army, navy, air force and rocket force. These assets have been largely concentrated in the Taiwan Strait, as well as surrounding Taiwan. "The joint drills focused on sea and air combat readiness, blockading key Taiwanese ports and areas, and assaults on maritime and ground targets," described the eastern theatre command’s spokesperson, senior captain Li Xi. "The drill also serves as a stern warning to the separatist acts of ‘Taiwan independence’ forces," Li added. The last drills of this size occurred just after the May 20th inauguration of Taiwan's new president Lai Ching-te. Just before these fresh drills, China's military issued and circulated a propaganda video entitled "prepared for battle" on vairous social media accounts. The about one-minute video features fighter jets, warships and amphibious assault vessels taking to the air and sea near Taiwan. Mobile rocket launchers are also seen being maneuvered and made ready for attacks. Text associated with the video said Chinese forces are "prepared for battle at all times and can fight anytime." The day prior, on Sunday, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry confirmed that the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning entered waters near the strategic Bashi Channel south of Taiwan. Importantly, China's Defense Ministry has also forewarned that PLA military actions will be "pushed further with each provocation of Taiwan independence until the issue is entirely resolved." So there is likely more ahead in the coming months. The drugstore giant Walgreens will close down 1,200 stores across the country to help stem billions of dollars in losses, the company has confirmed. According to Chief Executive Tim Wentworth, the move is part of a $1 billion cutting spree and restructuring effort after the company reported a $3 billion loss in the last financial quarter. “We continue to face a difficult operating environment, including persistent pressures on the U.S. consumer and the impact of recent marketplace dynamics which have eroded pharmacy margins,” he continued. The most damaging of those pressures has been the consistently high inflation that has plagued the American economy since the Biden regime seized office in January 2021, “The consumer is absolutely stunned by the absolute prices of things, and the fact that some of them may not be inflating doesn’t actually change their resistance to the current pricing," he explained. Wentworth also acknowledged that shoplifting has become a major issue for the company, adding that he would seek partnerships with cities to save stores by “investing in public safety so that our customers and employees feel safe." Last December, its main competitor CVS revealed that it too would seek to close 900 stores nationwide by the end of 2024 and similarly cited theft as a major issue.
