[FOX] Nearly 30,000 pounds of imported raw beef from South America have been recalled in two states over the failure to reinspect the product after arriving in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Florida-based Corte Argentino USA LLC is recalling about 29,628 pounds of raw beef products that were imported from Argentina "without the benefit of import reinspection into the United States," which checks documentation, labeling, packaging, the product’s general condition and sometimes samples for contaminants, FSIS announced on Friday.
After incoming shipments meet U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service requirements, they must be reinspected by FSIS.
The products were distributed to distributors and retailers in Florida and Texas.
The affected products were produced between May 15 and May 20. They have use or freeze-by dates between September 15 and September 20.
Given Texas is said to have about 4+ Million head of cattle grazing.
A typical harvested steer (1,400 lbs), will yield, after properly cut up and aged, about 640 LBS of edible beef product (roughly 45.71%) due to Bones, hide, and etc.
So the 30K LBS of rejected imported beef being recalled, is less than 50 Cattle (1 truck load) out of 4+ Million cattle in Texas alone.
But none the less wait for the Abuse of the PANIC and needless price increases.
[NYP] WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine could "theoretically" be linked to miscarriages in expectant mothers, despite having publicly insisted there were "no red flags" for pregnant women.
"I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of," wrote Fauci in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
"Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester," added the then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.
Fauci, Walensky and Murthy had been discussing whether the vaccine posed any risks to women who followed the two-shot regimen earlier or later in their pregnancies.
Walensky responded to Fauci that the first trimester issues he raised were "definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two."
Days later, on Feb. 3, Fauci said during a question-and-answer livestream with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that the FDA "found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women."
Seriously now. I have attempted to explain to you several times that Fauci has zero, zip, and zilch influence on medical research outside USA. He can no more suppress research re HCQ in places like India, China, Russia, or Brazil (google Brazil HCQ) than he can fly by flapping his hands.

After the 3am ballot dump and finding out generals were phoning China to inform them what the president was talking about over breakfast, it was an unbelievable statement about beagle boy.

How can one man orchestrate such a colossal enterprise of deceit and treachery? I suspect the trail does not end with Fauci. I hope someone's appetite for discovery takes us a bit further.
#14
#13, certainly the ensuing chaos of the covid pandemic was the excuse for mail-incheat-by-mail ballots and almost as certainly Democrats took undue advantage of the opportunity. Was it done in collusion with the Chinese? Almost certainly but you're gonna need a vastly more resourceful and courageous investigator than me to uncover all the details.

[NYP] Wild video shows an overly packed elevator plummeting several floors to the ground inside a Russian high-rise, leaving four men with broken legs.
Authorities said the nightmare scenario unfolded in an apartment building in Makhachkala, Dagestan after nine passengers got inside the elevator — which was only permitted to carry six people.
Footage shows the elevator suddenly jolts down, violently knocking passengers into each other and pulling them onto the floor.
The elevator fell 50 feet from the fourth floor to the ground, officials said.
Emergency services quickly rushed to the scene and tended to the wounded — with four of the passengers sufferin broken legs, according to the region’s health ministry.
[CHD] The ruling upholds the March ruling of the Regional Court of Aurich, which required BioNTech to release 32 types of internal safety, toxicity and manufacturing records, including adverse event records.

[Space.com] Every total solar eclipse is different. While the silhouette of the moon passing across the sun barely changes, the moment our natural satellite covers the entire solar disk, something spectacular happens — the emergence of the corona. The Latin word for "crown", the solar corona is one of the wonders of nature. To gaze upon its delicate, spiky white tendrils during brief moments of totality is to glimpse the infinite, but it's only a glimpse because the corona is always changing. Shaped by the sun's constantly changing magnetic field, the corona evolves from year to year, month to month and even day to day. No two total eclipses ever reveal exactly the same structure.
It's one reason why eclipse chasers keep traveling. The corona visible during the total solar eclipse of Aug. 12, 2026 — if skies are clear — will be a unique snapshot of the sun at a specific moment in Solar Cycle 25. It will reflect years of changing magnetic activity, thousands of sunspots and countless eruptions of solar material.
[ZH] President Trump was spotted over the weekend at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, under a notably elevated air-defense posture. An AN/TWQ-1 Avenger positioned near the fairway provided last-line missile defense, indicating that security planners considered a low-altitude airborne attack plausible.
The Avenger's presence indicates a planned, layered air-defense posture around the president, complemented by F-16 fighter jets overhead and temporary flight restrictions over the course.
The X account POPULAR FRONT posted an image of the Avenger mounted on the back of a Humvee, with President Trump swinging what appears to be an iron.

Country is so insecure and dangerous, so many enemies abroad, so many enemies within, so compromised that the President of the Unites States cant golf without a missile shield.

[Regnum] The tanker Caroline Bezengi, carrying nearly 1 million barrels of oil, capsized off the coast of Oman. Arab News reported this, citing satellite imagery.
The vessel, which is subject to UK and EU sanctions, ran aground about two months ago off Qibliah Island in southwestern Oman. Satellite monitoring showed that the oil spill has already covered nearly 800 square kilometers of sea surface. Two months ago? Trumps' fault
The ecological disaster zone is located within the Arabian Sea Nature Reserve, home to rare and endangered species. The oil slick is constantly expanding and poses a serious threat to local wildlife. Rescue efforts have not yet managed to contain the spill.
International environmental organizations have expressed concern about possible irreversible consequences for the region's unique ecosystem.
Earlier, an oil spill occurred in the Caspian Sea following damage to the Azneft underwater pipeline in Azerbaijan. An oil slick was discovered during an initial survey of the waters between Pirallahi Island and Dubendi. Initially, the source of the leak could not be found, but it was later determined that the oil had leaked into the sea from the underwater pipeline. According to preliminary reports, it was damaged by an anchor strike.

Every word probably a lie, except that he was born
Jason Arday grew up in a lively corner of South London as the second youngest of three boys. He was diagnosed with autism and developmental delays at age three, and experts told his parents he would never speak, write, or live independently—and should be institutionalized.
His parents refused. Instead, his extraordinary mother, Giff, drawing on her faith and thinking outside the box, embraced his neurodivergence and devoted herself to helping him realize a potential few others believed possible—using everything from the proverbs of her West African culture to music, sports, and film to help him make sense of the world.
In Great and Unfortunate Things, we see how Arday went from being nonverbal as a child and illiterate until he was eighteen to scaling unimaginable heights as an adult. Without romanticizing the struggle, this is a story of determination against seemingly insurmountable odds—and of a family and a small group of believers whose compassion helped him see what is possible.
A powerful story for our moment, Arday’s journey is a testament to resilience, dignity, and the life-changing force of community in action.

On the Amazon page for his book, half the reviews are lengthy and full of praise. The other half briefly point out that he is a liar and it should be filed under fiction.
I wrote a review based in the sample excerpt on the page.
[IntelliNews] A weekly Ningbo-to-Felixstowe service will cut sailing time roughly in half, part of a wider shift toward the Northern Sea Route as Houthi attacks keep threatening Bab al-Mandeb shipping.
Chinese container line Sea Legend will this week launch the first regular container shipping service through the Arctic, branding it the "Ice Silk Road," the Financial Times reported.
The weekly service will run between Ningbo on China's east coast and Felixstowe in the UK via the Northern Route, skirting the north Russian coast and cutting the usual 40-day sailing time by about half, depending on Arctic Circle conditions. It follows a record 23 transits through the Northern Sea Route last summer, up from 15 in 2024, as melting polar ice widens the seasonal window in which ships can pass without icebreaker support.
Shipping companies are increasingly weighing the Arctic route as a way to avoid maritime chokepoints, particularly the Bab al-Mandeb strait into the Red Sea, where Iranian-backed Houthi militants renewed threats last month. The group said on July 23 it had attacked two Saudi Arabian tankers in the Red Sea, briefly sending oil prices back above $100 a barrel.
"There's been a definite increase in traffic through the Arctic and Northern Sea Route," said Rahul Khanna, global head of marine risk consulting at insurer Allianz. Vessel owners increasingly see the route as a way "to save a lot of time and cost" while also taking "out all the geopolitical chokepoints and conflict zones," he said.
Interest is also showing up in shipbuilding: 167 ice-class vessels were built last year, the highest level in more than a decade, with a further 164 due this year, according to maritime data company Veson Nautical. Many major European lines, including Maersk, have nonetheless pledged not to use the route over concerns for the Arctic ecosystem and relations with Russia, which controls permitting for the Northern Sea Route through its state company Rosatom.
The route still carries real risk: Allianz has recorded more than 500 shipping incidents in the Arctic Circle over the past decade, with machinery damage or failure responsible for almost half. "If we have a casualty in the Arctic, we have limited salvage, assistance, firefighting or rescue," Khanna said.
[Reuters] The Federal Communications Commission, once better known for spectrum auctions and licensing television stations, has emerged as the unlikely leader of some of the Trump administration's most aggressive actions against China.
Under Trump ally Brendan Carr, the FCC has made a series of moves over the past nine months to crack down on what the U.S. sees as risks to American supply chains.
The agency has barred imports of new models of Chinese drones, routers, inverters and robots and begun the process of blocking all Chinese labs from testing electronic devices such as smartphones, cameras and computers for use in the U.S. It is now drafting a ban on U.S. imports of new models of Chinese data center components, seeking to protect American infrastructure that undergirds the AI boom, Reuters reported.
Those actions, which aim to push Chinese gear out of technology supply chains and spur domestic manufacturing, have the blessing of President Donald Trump's White House, according to U.S. officials, who say the agency has tried to do so without angering Beijing, in part by targeting Chinese technologies without explicitly naming China.
Beijing is now pushing back.
After months of inaction, China announced on Wednesday that in response to the FCC's moves - along with other U.S. trade actions - it was tightening export controls on U.S.-bound drones and technology and sanctioning a U.S. testing and certification firm.
The pushback follows efforts by Chinese officials to engage the FCC, which were rebuffed, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The FCC declined to comment on the Chinese outreach and the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment.
Trump plans to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in September, when the two are expected to discuss ways to steady a bilateral relationship upset last year by Trump's tariff war. There is often pressure to lower tensions ahead of such summits.
National security experts predict the U.S. push will continue, however.
"Just because the Chinese respond doesn't mean that all of a sudden this is going to stop," said Chris McGuire, a former Biden White House official, noting rising frustration within the administration over what it believes is Chinese non-compliance with prior deals.
China's Ministry of Commerce did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on the FCC. China has opposed the FCC's actions, saying they are discriminatory treatment toward its companies and could upset global supply chains, while vowing countermeasures.
The FCC and the White House declined to comment, but a U.S. official said: "Recent FCC actions are global in scope and not targeted against any specific country. These actions are designed to promote American re-industrialization and ensure our national security."

China's DJI drones are the gold standard. Everyone in the world uses thaem and for good reason.

[TT] Turkish defense manufacturer Baykar, the world's largest producer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has begun preparations to launch a commercial air cargo airline, according to a report by aviation journalist Tolga Ozbek.
The Istanbul-based company plans to begin operations with a single Airbus A321P2F cargo aircraft and expand its fleet over time, according to the report.
Baykar has already started recruiting staff for the new venture.
Job listings on Baykar's career platform indicate the company is preparing to launch and operate a new commercial air cargo business.
"Our newly established commercial air cargo transportation operation aims to conduct national and international air cargo transportation in line with the principles of safety, quality, and operational excellence," the job posting states.
"Our operations will be carried out in accordance with national and international civil aviation regulations and company procedures, and a professional and sustainable organizational structure centered on a culture of safety will be established," the job posting added.
The postings indicate the new operation will cover flight operations, ground services, cargo operations, continuing airworthiness management (CAMO), maintenance organizations, and safety and security management systems. The new business is intended to be structured in line with national and international civil aviation standards.
Limousine liberals, parlour pinks, Champagne socialists — radical nepo babies are nothing new. And our dear little former doesn’t remember how offensively radical his crowd was, back in the day a few years ago.
[ZERO] Former Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organizer Jake Altman argues that over the past 10-15 years, the organization has transformed from a relatively pragmatic working-class social-democratic group into a much more radical movement driven by younger activists and open to more extreme ideas.
He describes internal pressure against dissenters, increasing openness to communism, and a demographic shift toward younger and more affluent, less experienced, and more radical members during an interview with The Free Press.
"When I joined in 2013, it was much more social democratic. It was very old, very white. In 2015 in Boston, it was a few older men and I who were the core of the old DSA chapter," Altman explained. "It is night and day between DSA in even 2015 and now. It went from this, like you say, pretty moderate social-political group to a cultural juggernaut that it is today."
"By 2014, a group called the Left Caucus was formed that advanced a lot of extreme views."
"There were debates at the time about how much Leninism do we want to let into DSA.
OMG - soooooo funny.
And these people, they eroded any resistance and any core of anti-communism that remained within DSA. Anti-communism became forbidden, right? This is a big evil thing, to be an anti-communist."
"And you can't hold this view without running all the old people who experienced the 20th century out of the organization. And I think that had to have been part of the calculus, that they didn't want any internal resistance," he said. "And so there were instances where people were - I think efforts were made to silence people who dissented."
[FoxNews] Massachusetts becomes the 10th state to remove gestational age limits
But don’t complain when your population starts aging and dying off, okay?
Democratic Gov. Maura Healey was met with applause and smiles as she signed away Massachusetts' gestational limits on abortion, making the deep-blue state the 10th to permit the procedure up to birth. Only for the natives. Illegals will have birth-to-death welfare
Under the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, health care workers will have greater discretion in determining whether to perform an abortion later in pregnancy, without facing legal penalties under the state's previous restrictions.
Healey said the law is intended to ensure families facing medical complications late in pregnancy can abort their babies in Massachusetts rather than having to travel out of state. Those complications can include maternal health complications and fatal diagnoses.
During the bill signing, Healey pledged to keep abortion safe, legal and accessible in Massachusetts for as long as she remains governor.
The bill is scheduled to take effect in 90 days. Previously, state law generally prohibited abortions after 24 weeks, with limited exceptions.
Massachusetts now joins Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon and Vermont in removing gestational age limits on abortion, along with the District of Columbia.
