[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A former flight attendant who became a successful thriller author has revealed a terrifying security weakness that she fears could cause a nuclear apocalypse.
New York Times bestselling author T.J. Newman, 41, got the idea for her most recent book 'Worst Case Scenario' after asking pilots to share their scariest fears.
One pilot told her that he often worried that a plane could crash into a nuclear power plant, which 'planted the seed' for her third novel, Newman said.
She soon started to research his fear to see if there 'was any validity to his fears,' and soon figured out that even though reactors - the heart of nuclear power plants - are hardened, the material stored outside of them could cause a major disaster.
'The research terrified me, and it became very quickly apparent that what became the premise of the book is completely plausible,' she said.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] …that led to Japan A-bombs.
A small Michigan town has erupted with fury after a nearby landfill revealed it will process radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project.
The Wayne Disposal facility in Van Buren Township will be processing low-radiation atomic bomb byproducts from the 1940s Manhattan Project, which developed the bombs used in WWII and whose lead scientist inspired the Christopher Nolan blockbuster Oppenheimer.
The same facility also processed some of the waste from the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, which released toxic chemicals into the air during the fire.
Residents are unhappy with the new developments, saying it's 'scary' and they worry about the health and safety of their families and neighbors, they told WXYZ.
'I don't like it,' Bonnie Coughlin, who has lived in the township for 70 years, told the outlet. 'I got my kids living next door, grandkids, and our neighbors. It's always been scary with that dump there.'
The waste will be coming from the Niagara Falls Storage Site - located in Lewiston, New York - which became the primary location for uranium ore byproducts related to the Manhattan Project.
The transportation plan says 25 vessels of waste will be dropped off each week in lined trucks between July and January. Each truck will have to be decontaminated before it can leave the facility, according to US Army Corps of Engineers.
Roughly 6,000 cubic yards of soil and concrete and 4,000 gallons of groundwater with elevated radiation levels will be disposed at the facility.
Republic Services said in a statement to WXYZ that the 'material will be accepted' from the site as it 'falls within the permit guidelines and will be managed safely, responsibly, and in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.'
It also insisted the facility is 'highly engineered with multiple safety measures in place and frequent inspections and systems tests to ensure everything is operating as it should.'
In 2018, the US Army Corps of Engineers dumped 124,000 tons of radioactive soil and materials from Luckey, Ohio at the Michigan facility.
Then last year, more than 218,000 gallons of toxic liquid waste was delivered to the site.
MercuryNews] With a drop in temperatures and a chance of showers expected Friday and Saturday, snow could fall as low as 8,000 feet elevation from the Tahoe area south to Mammoth Lakes.
Yosemite's Tioga Pass, at 9,943 feet, has a 43% chance of 0.1 inch of snow and Tuolumne Meadows a 34% chance, the agency's Hanford office said.
Also high enough for a trace of snow are Mount Rose summit, Carson Pass near Kirkwood, and Monitor and Sonora passes. The chance of precip is around 40% Friday and Saturday.
I assume this is noteworthy because it is unusually early in the season for snow, even that high up.
And drops the fire danger unless there's dry lightning

[Breitbart] Criminals being set free in a bid to reduce overcrowding at a prison are reoffending and being returned to custody, an inspection report released Wednesday reveals.
The early release scheme — known as the end of custody supervised licence (ECSL) — is designed to free up space to ease prison overcrowding.
The BBC reports a new study shows revealed a quarter of HMP Nottingham prisoners released under the scheme were homeless, leading to “inevitable recalls”, said chief inspector of prisons Charlie Taylor.
The report comes as the left-wing Labour government’s emergency Operation Early Dawn measure to clear UK prison space amid the sentencing of anti-migration rioters, protesters, and social media posters will reportedly see at least 5,500 criminals released early by the autumn, as Breitbart News reported.
Taylor conceded it was “uncertain how many had been recalled”, the number of inmates who were homeless when they were released early was “astonishing.”
He cautioned high-risk offenders are not being given enough attention, despite warnings about the danger they posed.
At HMP Nottingham, preparation for the early release of inmates under the scheme was “often chaotic and rushed”, despite staff “doing their best”, the HM Inspectorate of Prisons report as seen by the BBC said.
“A quarter of prisoners released on this scheme were homeless and although data was not clear, it resulted in inevitable recalls,”Taylor said. “Overall, Nottingham is a jail that is coping with the many challenges that it faces, but it remains a fragile institution that carries a lot of risk within its constantly churning population.”
[BBC] Robert F Kennedy Jr's running mate says the independent presidential candidate is considering joining forces with Donald Trump's campaign or staying in and forming a third party.
On a podcast, Nicole Shanahan said they were considering the two options to avoid the "risk" of a Kamala Harris presidency.
She also accused the Democrats of "sabotage", including planting insiders in their campaign.
Mr Kennedy has faced a number of hurdles in his longshot third-party campaign, from legal challenges over getting his name on state ballots to funding his run.
"There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, or we draw somehow more votes from Trump," Ms Shanahan, 38, said on the Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu podcast released on Tuesday.
"Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision."
She said it was "not an easy decision".
BBC News has reached out to the Kennedy campaign for clarity on Ms Shanahan's comments. They will be available soon. Consultations with various family members, personnal security firms, and life insurance agencies must come first.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, Mr Kennedy said: "As always, I am willing to talk with leaders of any political party to further the goals I have served for 40 years in my career and in this campaign."

[WND] 'Injections carry such a high risk of dangerous adverse events, it would be safer to catch the virus without being vaccinated than to take one of the shots'
Those mRNA COVID-19 shots, turned out in double time by an industry in the pay of the federal government at the time, are "far more" dangerous to those who took them, including those forced by government officials to take them, than getting COVID, a new report explains.
The report at Slay News said a study has shown that the "overall risks" of the shots "greatly outweigh theoretical benefits."
The study results appeared in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research.

Depends on the parameters of the study. What did the abstract say?

Partial answer - It is therefore difficult to predict adverse event profiles on an individual basis, but considering that millions of adults across the world have reported severe and serious adverse events in the context of these modmRNA COVID-19 products, valid concerns are raised regarding injection of infants and younger age groups for whom COVID-19 poses only minimal risks.

[FoxNews] The FDA has approved TRAUMAGEL, designed to stop blood loss from gunshots, stabbings and other trauma
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a novel treatment that is designed to stop severe bleeding in a matter of seconds.
TRAUMAGEL — made by Cresilon Inc., a Brooklyn-based biotechnology company — is a plant-based hydrogel that comes in a pre-filled syringe, according to a press release.
First responders, paramedics and combat medics can use the gel to rapidly stop severe blood loss from wounds due to gunshots, stabbings or other traumatic events.
Joe Landolina, Cresilon’s CEO and co-founder, invented the gel in his dorm room when he was a 17-year-old chemical and bioengineering student at NYU.
There are currently many gauzes, powders and sponges used to stop bleeding, but they have limitations, according to Landolina.
"Compared to TRAUMAGEL, these products are difficult to apply into wounds, as they must be packed physically into a bullet wound by a first responder, which is painful and highly risky," he told Fox News Digital via email.
TRAUMAGEL, which is "the color and texture of hummus," works by instantly creating a mechanical barrier against bleeding at the site of the wound, Landolina said.
"That barrier then allows the patient to quickly produce their own natural clot that doesn’t become incorporated with TRAUMAGEL, allowing TRAUMAGEL to then be removed without disturbing the clot."
The gel is supposed to be removed within 24 hours.
Dr. Marc Siegel, senior medical analyst for Fox News and clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, confirmed that this is the first gel-based hemostatic agent to be cleared for use in the U.S. to stop bleeding.
The product appears to be a "major step forward" in managing acute bleeding in the field — "even including head trauma and military uses [in combat], as well as gunshot and knifing wounds outside of combat," Siegel told Fox News Digital.
"The advantages are that it is plant-based and works very rapidly without a lot of protocol or preparation," he said.
"Also, it can be squirted from a syringe to get it into ‘nooks and crannies,’ and doesn't require external pressure."
Severe blood loss in traumatic wounds can kill in a matter of minutes, and is responsible for more than 35% of all pre-hospital deaths, studies show.
Up to 60% of hemorrhage deaths occur within the first three hours of injury.
The product is slated to launch in the U.S. in late 2024, according to the company.
Cresilon will target the U.S. military, trauma hospitals, emergency medical services (EMS) agencies and medical professionals who treat traumatic wounds, the company states.
