High school coach arrested on suspicion of sexual contact with students in Perris — Press Enterprise
[PRESSENTERPRISE] A high school coach in Perris was arrested on Thursday, Oct. 10, on suspicion of sexual contact with minors, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department announced.

In August, a school resource deputy was called to Perris High at 165 E. Nuevo Road to investigate allegations that an athletic coach, Jesse Gonsalez Lopez, 27, was having inappropriate contact with female students at the school.

Lopez was placed on leave while the sheriff's Special Victims Unit investigated, and was ultimately booked into the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in French Valley on suspicion of child annoyance, sexual battery, and lewd and lascivious acts with a minor.

Lopez posted a $10,000 bail and was released on Friday morning, Oct. 11.

Details of the allegations were not immediately available, nor were the minors' ages or Lopez's duration of employment.

The Perris Union High School District did not return a call for comment. Its website said the district was closed for staff training.

Wall Street Journal; Senior U.S. Defense Officials are Stumped, by an Incident which occurred over several Nights last December
[X]
First, 3dc doesn't believe in UFOs but this is strange. 3dc wonders what was added in the food at these events



… U.S. Navy’s Largest Base on the East Coast, Naval Station Norfolk as well as Langley Air Force Base and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story.

Officials, including U.S. Air Force General Mark Kelly who was a Witness of the Event, say that over several Nights a Swarm of Drones, some believed to be as long as 20 Feet and flying at over 100 Miles per Hour, were seen flying at an Altitude of roughly 2,500 Feet over Langley and the then South towards Naval Station Norfolk and other Bases along the Virginia Coastline, with it claimed to have sounded like a “Parade of Lawnmowers.”

With these Events, leading to Two Weeks of Meetings at the White House involving multiple Agencies, including the Defense Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pentagon’s UFO Office, to determine what these Drones are and where they are coming from; though almost No Information has been Publicly Released, other than its believed the Drones were not being flown by Hobbyists, but instead likely a Hostile Power, like China or Russia.

The Incident is said to be similar to something that occurred in October of 2023 at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nevada National Security Site, which is used for Nuclear Weapon Experimentation outside of Las Vegas; in which several Drones were seen over the Facility over a Three-Day Period, leading to a System being installed which could Detect and Counter the Drones.

What if:

* that infiltrated the USA,
* via the OPEN BORDER,
* located itself near a Classified installation,
* a rented warehouse,
* stocked it with smuggled in attack drones,
* and launched the computer controlled drones,
* as a test run for a future event?

Chinese Navy detachment sails into Pacific Ocean near Taiwan
Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A detachment of ships of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA) passed into the Pacific Ocean through the Bashi Strait near the territory of Taiwan, the Taiwanese Defense Ministry reported.

"Chinese naval vessels led by the aircraft carrier Liaoning passed through the waters near the Bashi Strait and continued moving towards the western Pacific Ocean," the post noted.

It is specified that the Taiwanese Armed Forces monitored the situation and responded accordingly.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 27, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Taiwan was and remains part of China and will never be a “separate state.” He stressed that Beijing will definitely take countermeasures when the forces supporting Taiwan in its desire to separate commit provocations.

On July 12, Beijing imposed sanctions on a number of American military-industrial companies selling weapons to Taiwan. The Chinese Foreign Ministry also accused Washington of seriously interfering in China's internal affairs and damaging its territorial integrity.

US President Joe Biden on June 4 allowed the possibility of sending US troops to Taiwan, which he said could happen if China "uses force" against the island.

Australia's iron ore capital Port Hedland to warn all healthcare providers against mRNA danger
[LettersFromAustralia] Australia's iron ore capital Port Hedland is sending a written warning to all health practitioners within its boundaries about the dangers of the covid gene-vaccines and is calling for their immediate suspension on safety grounds after DNA contamination was again found in the products.

Port Hedland Council voted 5 to 2 last night to denounce the shots at a Special Council Meeting.

The Council heard video testimony from St George’s University of London Professor Angus Dalgleish in a closed session warning them of the dangers of the products, before passing the motion.

Professor Dalgleish, a specialist in oncology and immunology, is on a speaking tour of Australia for the Australian Medical Professionals Society, sounding the alarm about how the mRNA products cause cancer.

Economy
7-Eleven shutting down nearly 450 stores across North America for underperforming
[FOXBUSINESS] Nearly 450 7-Eleven stores across North America are closing for underperforming, according to the company.

Seven & I Holdings, 7-Eleven's Japan-based parent company, announced in an earnings report Thursday that 444 7-Eleven stores are closing because of a dip in sales, particularly cigarette sales, as well as decreased traffic and inflation.

A list of which stores will be closing was not released.

7-Eleven has 13,000 stores across the U.S. and Canada, which means the closures would only impact 3% of the company's portfolio.

The convenience store chain has faced six consecutive months of traffic declines, including a 7.3% dip in August.

"The North American economy remained robust overall thanks to the consumption of high-income earners, despite a persistently inflationary, elevated interest rate and deteriorating employment environment," Seven & I Holdings said in an earnings release. "In this context, there was a more prudent approach to consumption, particularly among middle- and low-income earners."

Rep. Tim Burchett demands FEMA provide ‘receipts' of Hurricane Helene disaster relief spending
[JustTheNews] Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) says he’s sent a letter to FEMA asking for a detailed account of its spending in Tennessee and North Carolina counties impacted by Hurricane Helene. “This department has a $40 billion budget and now they’re asking for more money and we found five or six billion additional dollars they could use. They’re not even looking at that,” he says.

Newsweek - Donald Trump's Chances of Winning a Landslide, According to Odds, Polls
[Newsweek] With just a month remaining until the election, polls in all seven battleground states show the race within the margin of error, leaving the door open for either candidate to potentially sweep all key swing states.

While Harris maintains a slim national lead of 2 to 3 points and holds an edge in four swing states, recent polling has shifted more favorably for Trump.

An ActiVote poll now puts Trump 1 point ahead nationally, and a Fabrizio/McLaughlin poll shows him leading in every swing state. Pollster Nate Silver's tracker shows that Trump has made gains in every swing state other than Georgia in the past week. This momentum raises the possibility of a landslide victory for Trump.

But what constitutes a landslide? There is no precise definition, but political scientist Gerald Hill told the Associated Press that "it usually means exceeding expectations and being somewhat overwhelming."

If we mean one candidate winning at least 100 more Electoral College votes than their opponent, there have been seven landslide election victories over the past 50 years.

Harris losing ground to Trump in US presidential election, polls suggest
[NBC via Aljazeera] Kamala Harris is losing ground to Donald Trump with less than a month to go until the election for president of the United States, a series of polls suggest.

Harris’s lead over Trump has narrowed or vanished outright as the race for the White House approaches the final stretch, according to three polls released on Sunday.

In the latest NBC News poll, the Democratic and Republican nominees are tied nationally at 48 percent ahead of the November 5 vote, a turnaround from a five-point lead for Harris in the same survey last month.

In the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll, Harris leads 50 percent to 48 percent among likely voters. The Democrat led 52 percent to 46 percent in the same poll last month.

The latest CBS News/YouGov poll shows Harris up 51 percent to 48 percent among likely voters, compared with a four-point advantage last month.

Following the latest figures, Harris holds a 1.4 percent point lead in Real Clear Polling’s aggregate of major polls, slipping from 2.2 percent on Saturday.

NYP - Kamala Harris' campaign is falling rapidly behind Donald Trump, 3 new polls show
[NYP] Vice President Kamala Harris has lost steam and her edge against former President Donald Trump has slipped in three major polls with less than a month to go until Election Day — yet another blow to Democrats who were already starting to panic about November.

Harris has lost six percentage points on Trump in a single month in the NBC News poll, giving the former president the slimmest lead of 47% to 46% among registered voters — with third-party contenders included.

Last month, Harris scored 47% to Trump’s 41% in the same poll.

The vice president had jumped slightly ahead of Donald Trump in polls since rising to the top of the ticket, but now polling is starting to trend against her.

The Hill - The 4 reasons Harris is losing
[Hill] I have spoken with three Democratic operatives behind the scenes who all believe the race is slipping away from Vice President Kamala Harris. They offer four major reasons why this is happening.

The first is Harris herself. She is simply not a very good candidate. She lacks confidence and is seemingly terrified to take any unrehearsed or unvetted policy questions. This liability is not a surprise to those who follow politics closely, but is a new concern for a number of voters.

This unsteadiness and insecurity were initially on display when she was the first candidate to embarrassingly flame out of the 2020 presidential primary. Now, in a deja vu moment of clarity, voters, major donors and Democratic power brokers are being reminded of those same failings in 2024.

The second reason Harris is slipping is the Biden-Harris administration’s record. It is weighing her down, dragging her down.

Harris made this problem significantly worse while doing an interview this week on ABC’s "The View." Even though the purpose of this puff interview was to make her look good, Harris fumbled the hand-off. Harris-supporting host Sunny Hostin asked: "Would you have done anything differently than President Biden during the past four years?"

Harris immediately veered off the rails: "There is not a thing that comes to mind," Harris responded. "Not a thing."

The screams of shock and disappointment from the Harris campaign, the mainstream media and Democratic elites after hearing that reply should have set off seismometers all over the D.C. area.

Not surprisingly, Team Trump has been playing that answer on a loop. They are beyond thrilled that Harris just spot-welded herself for the rest of the campaign to the Biden administration’s failures.

Democrats in the US could usurp power by military means, expert says
Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] If Kamala Harris loses the US presidential election, the Democrats could start a third world war to seize power by military means, political scientist and military expert Alexei Leonkov said in a conversation with IA Regnum.
In theory, of course it is possible. I wouldn’t bet actual money on it though. Not with the current shape the US military is in.
On October 13, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he was worried about the next three to four months, a period during which the United States could find itself in a state of global war because of the current government.

"There are concerns that the Democrats, realizing that they are not winning the presidential elections, may go to all lengths. That is, bring the situation in the Middle East to such a state that it will be necessary to introduce martial law on US territory. Well, that is, they will actually try to usurp power through a conflict in the Middle East," Leonkov is sure.

There are alarming trends that point to such a scenario, the expert believes. The current US administration publicly condemns Israel, prohibits something, and behind its back finances and supplies weapons to the army of the Jewish state, the political scientist said.

"The Democrats can play on this conflict. They have done a lot to hold on to power at any cost," the expert said.

Acting as intermediaries and suppliers, the US has chosen a very convenient position for itself, the military expert believes. By sending money and weapons to warring countries, the Americans do not send their armies there, which is extremely important for the population of the States. But Trump points out that the degree of escalation is constantly increasing. This will inevitably lead to a third world war, which is already a negative prospect in the eyes of the Americans, the political scientist said.

Speaking about why Trump is focusing on the next three to four months, Leonkov recalled the procedure for the transfer of power in the United States.

"The three or four months that Trump is talking about are October, November, December and January. The official procedure for the transfer of power will take place in January. If Trump wins the elections that will take place on November 5, he will not be able to govern the country right away. And during this time, anything can be done," the political scientist said.

As an example, the expert recalled the situation that occurred at the end of the Trump administration's term after the presidential elections in 2020.

"It is enough to recall when Trump lost the election to Biden, his administration was still in power, the storming of the Capitol took place. It was provoked by the Democrats, organized by the Democrats themselves. They then tried to use this storming to start a criminal prosecution of Trump. What the representatives of the Democratic Party and their entourage can do fits in perfectly with the logic that Trump follows when making these statements. The words about the third world war are not just pre-election statements, but an opinion that reflects reality," Leonkov summed up.

As previously reported by IA Regnum, back in 2019, the now deceased politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky predicted events in the Middle East, stating that they would make people forget about Ukraine. The former leader of the LDPR specified that it would be a third world war, and also said that there would be no US presidential elections in 2024.

#1  Once again, most military installations lack enough housing for their troops, families, and civilian employees. They live among the community. They have no protection if anyone tried to implement suspension of the Constitution. Further, most installations are dependent upon outside energy sources for gas and electricity. They'll only control what they can occupy and that is a very small footprint. Everything else is 'Injun Country'.

SpaceX makes history by ''catching'' Megarocket booster post-test flight
[GEO.TV] SpaceX successfully "caught" the first-stage booster of its Starship megarocket Sunday as it returned to the launch pad after a test flight, a world first in the company's quest for rapid reusability.

The "super heavy booster" had blasted off attached to the Starship rocket minutes earlier, then made a picture-perfect controlled return to the same pad in Texas, where a pair of huge mechanical "chopsticks" reached out from the launch tower to bring the slowly descending booster to a halt, according to a livestream from Elon Musk's SpaceX company.

"Folks, this is a day for the engineering history books," a SpaceX spokesperson said in a voiceover on the company's livestream, after the booster was safely in the tower's grasp and company staffers had erupted in cheers.

Spain finds out Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
]Regnum] The famous navigator Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew, according to scientists from the University of Granada in Spain. Their conclusion is based on DNA analysis of the traveler and his son Hernando, reports the Spanish TV channel RTVE.

The documentary "Columbus, DNA. His True Origins", presented by the channel on October 12, tells about the study of the remains of Columbus, kept in the Seville Cathedral. For 22 years, they were studied by specialists under the direction of forensic expert and university professor Jose Antonio Lorente.

"After studying hundreds of bones and documents, it can be said that Christopher Columbus was Jewish," the channel said in a publication about the documentary.
You’re welcome.
Genetic evidence suggests that Columbus was born in Mediterranean Spain among Sephardim, a sub-ethnic group of Jews who formed on the Iberian Peninsula through migration. Traits consistent with Jewish ancestry were found in the male Y chromosome and in the maternal mitochondrial DNA of the explorer's son, Hernando, Lorente explained.

According to him, it is safe to say that Columbus was born in Western Europe.

According to the most common version, Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy. Some associate his origins with Poland or Spain, and there are also suggestions that he was Scottish, Catalan, or Jewish.
Some have even claimed Basque.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier scientists confirmed that the remains in the Seville Cathedral belong to Columbus, who died in 1506. Doubts about their identity were due to the fact that the navigator's body was transported from place to place more than once. For identification, scientists used the remains of the navigator's son Hernando and brother Diego, buried in the same cathedral.

So the USA does celebrate a National Holiday for a person of Jewish lineage?

As of 2024, we have:
2 x Black holidays,
2 x Military Salute days,
1 x Taxation without Representation day,
1 x National Socialist Day,
1 x Jewish Italian Explorer day
1 x National Pig out - Non-Veggie Day
1 x Christian birthday

So how long before the Pro-Muslim LSD party calls for an Islamic National Holiday?

#6  1 x Christian birthday

He was Jewish, too, NN2N1. ;-) But we’re happy to share.

You think o'Chris would have gotten one silver coin from Isabela if he didn't go to Mass?

I’m sure he went to mass, Procopius2k. 1492 was the year of the Expulsion, when the Jews were required to convert or leave Spain following the completion of the Reconquista and a century of massacres against the Jews for various reasons. Quite a few left — north into Europe, especially Amsterdam, and south into Moslem North Africa, as far as Egypt. From Amsterdam a group went with the Dutch to populate New Amsterdam. Of those that stayed, some had converted quite sincerely. Others continued to practice their faith in secret, and it was to ferret those out that the Inquisition was set on them. There are still family lines, in Spain and in the Americas, that have a tradition of family dinners on Friday night, that don’t eat pork, and so on. There have been articles about DNA studies done on some of them, and they turn out to have forgotten Jewish ancestry.

#7  ...tangentially, the prosperity of the Dutch was well noticed by Oliver Cromwell, who invited the Jews to England.

#8  Columbus retired in some sort of Franciscan monastic life. He definitely was motivated to exploit the New World or its people.

#9  Maybe, just maybe, if the Turks had left Byzantium alone, no one would have been motivated to head west to find Asia. That would blame conquering Muslims wouldn't it?

#10  I believe the "Christianized" Jews in Spain were called "marranos"?

#11  ^Conversos.

#12  ...Marranos are the converts who remained Jews in secret.

#13  Marrano means pig, hence the use as description for crypto-Jews.
