[NYP] Ohio State president Ted Carter blew up his $1.5 million-per-year job and risked his 45-year marriage over an "inappropriate relationship" with a local podcaster, according to a report.
Carter’s resignation — which came after he admitted he gave "inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership" to a woman who wanted help with her personal business — was "possibly connected" with Krisanthe Vlachos, host of "The Callout Podcast," a show sponsor told NBC 4.
"JobsOhio is aware Ted Carter resigned this morning as President of The Ohio State University and that this situation is possibly connected to a relationship between him and the host of a podcast for veterans, which we sponsored," JobsOhio, an economic development group, said in a statement.

Maybe it’s because everyone is tap dancing around the details - but what exactly did he do? An affair is embarrassing and poor judgement but dozens of CEOs and politicians have survived those revelations with their careers intact. I can’t see where the OSU steered public funds her way. Neithe4 drugs nor alcohol seem involved. If public moral standards have improved to the point where infidelity justifies losing public office great - but I hadn’t realized we’d reached that point yet

Why should the 'president' of a state university make more than the governor? Yes the university is the size of a small Ohio city, but how many mayors of similar size cities get $1.5 million? All made possible by federal Student Loan scam program and it indenturing design on gullible applicants.
[NewsNation] The Feb. 27 disappearance of a retired Air Force major general with a vast institutional knowledge about UFOs is a "grave national security crisis," says investigative journalist Ross Coulthart.
William Neil McCasland, 68, was reported missing after leaving his Albuquerque, N.M., home on foot, according to local authorities, who have teamed up with the FBI to find the former military official.
To Coulthart, the way McCasland vanished — reportedly along a running trail without his watch and phone — suggests something nefarious.
He said McCasland was known to be mentally and physically fit. The retiree is also considered a trove of information about whatever secrets the government may be hiding about UFOs; "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAPs); and nonhuman intelligent life.
"This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head," Coulthart, NewsNation special correspondent, says in the latest edition of his "Reality Check" podcast.
During his tenure in the Air Force, McCasland oversaw classified space weapons programs and was head of research at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, Coulthart notes. That facility has long been rumored to house fragments of extraterrestrial debris from Roswell, N.M.
Coulthart said he finds it interesting McCasland’s disappearance comes shortly after President Donald Trump promised disclosure about whatever files the government holds on UFOs and alien life. In recent years, he said, McCasland was seen as being sympathetic to the idea of educating the public about those classified topics.
"The timing is screechingly relevant," Coulthart said. "The fact that Gen. Neil McCasland has disappeared off the face of the earth is a grave national security crisis for the United States of America. This is a man with some of the most sensitive secrets of the United States in his head."

No doubt there are records in files. After all, look what was just discovered at the FBI:
[RacketNews] For a generation, the FBI has kept a second set of books called 'prohibited access' files. After a long fight, they're finally being examined.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible "prohibited access" file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress.
"This is it — the deep state," one of the sources said.
Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, whose work with whistleblowers and pressure across years was key to prying prohibited access files loose, expressed cautious optimism.
"If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using ’Prohibited Access’ files for some investigations would have remained in the dark," he said. "I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some, but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging — which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do — so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous."
Files given a prohibited access designation are not merely secret. They are "ghosts" which "do not exist," records rigged to return false negatives when searched for in the FBI’s SENTINEL system. They’re digital descendants of paper records that as far back as Richard Nixon’s presidency were kept in locked offices, accessible to just a few officials, typically at the deputy director level and above. Currently, the number of people with the ability to access the files can be counted on one hand.

Files given a prohibited access designation are not merely secret. They are "ghosts" which "do not exist,"
McCasland was likely a contributing author or project manager for the UAP fabrication. He simply knew too much. "Ghosts which to not exist" may explain it all.
Various ways DC elite use to cover their issues up.
Sudden Medical / Mental induced issues - numerous
A lone assassin - who also dies quickly.
Murder - several
Plane Crash - several
Shootings - Sean Rich and others
Hotel Room mystery deaths - several
Hanging ruled Suicide - several including Epstein
Drowning - Obama's Gay Cook
Car Accidents, too many to list
Stabbings - a few
Decapitation - 2
Robbery - several
Suicides where the person shot themselves in the back of the head at about 2 to 5 feet.
So what will be the cover this time?
* An alien abduction,
* Drown in the desert,
* A group of mountain Lions found roaming the streets ate him?

"suggests something nefarious" pretty much sums up the article.

You put files in Prohibited Access mode and sooner or later they will be forgotten entirely...by everybody. And so all this knowledge and all the benefits that could come from it is just forgotten forever.

McCasland was said to be a leaker To Delonge's To The Stars Academy.
Guy was an advanced propulsion physicists and managed labs that when you cross-reference the labs, you find they were part of the Art Bell Lores.
But his wife said this, "Neil does not have any special knowledge about the ET bodies and debris from the Roswell crash stored at Wright-Patt."
[FoxNews] In a Tuesday letter to NSF Interim Director Brian Stone obtained by Fox News Digital, House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar, a Republican from Michigan, urged the agency to suspend funding for the "Safeguarding the Entire Community of the U.S. Research Ecosystem" (SECURE) initiative and conduct a comprehensive review of the participating institutions.
Moolenaar’s concern, expressed in the letter, is that several of those participating institutions, including Texas A&M University and the University of Washington, receive tens of millions from the grant despite ties to the CCP that the committee finds concerning.
"The program is intended to develop tools, data infrastructure, and analytic capabilities for assessing research-security risks," Moolenaar wrote. "Faculty from UW and TAMU – the same institutions now charged with designing systems and processes to protect taxpayer-funded research – have been collaborating with People’s Republic of China (PRC) defense research and industrial base entities, many of which are on various U.S. government national security entity lists, as detailed in this letter."
[BBC] For decades the Chinese government has been accused of implementing repressive policies designed to subjugate ethnic minorities, forcing them to assimilate into the dominant Han culture.
Now a new law set to be rubber-stamped through the country's annual parliamentary session later this week will solidify, expand and even speed up this process, further threatening the rights of minority groups and their way of life, academics and human rights activists say.
The Chinese government, however, defends it as crucial for promoting "modernisation through greater unity" and calls it the law for "Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress".
It lowers the status of other languages at the expense of Mandarin; encourages intermarriage between the dominant Han Chinese and other ethnicities by prohibiting moves to restrict this; requires parents to "educate and guide minors to love the Chinese Communist Party"; and, in a sweeping generalisation, prohibits any acts seen as damaging to "ethnic unity".
Xi Jinping has repeatedly called for the "Sinicisation of religion", requiring religious practices to conform with what the Communist Party deems to be Chinese culture and values - and experts see this law as an entrenchment of what had already become a core part of his rule.
[Breitbart] Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told Breitbart News in a long-form exclusive on-camera interview in early February in his U.S. Senate office that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has had its plans for global domination through the Belt and Road Initiative disrupted by President Donald Trump.
Good.
The interview, which took place on Feb. 4 before Trump picked Mullin to succeed outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, is a big deep-dive into China’s expansionist vision and the efforts of the American government to counter those. Breitbart News had been planning to release the interview closer to Trump’s upcoming trip to China, where he is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in early April, but since Trump shocked the world by selecting Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Breitbart News has decided to move the timeline of the publication of the interview up to now. It is a rare exclusive look into a major arena of national security by a prominent incoming member of the president’s Cabinet ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs (HGSAC), chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
{Federalist] During last week’s contentious hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons asked then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with great concern, "Will you rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP officers to polling places this November?"
The secretary’s answer was sharp and to the point. "Do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections?"
Once again, Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud. The people who have told us for years that illegal aliens never vote, and that voter fraud doesn’t exist, are terrified of anyone actually checking to see if that is true.
Sen. Coons’ fears are echoed by former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who said in a recent X post, "Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must-have."
And just days after achieving a trifecta in state government, Virginia Democrats introduced legislation to do exactly what Inslee said — never mind that it’s completely unconstitutional.

The more the Democheats talk (and far too many Rethuglycons), the more I believe all political parties should be outlawed and their "leadership" imprisoned.
Change my mind, if you can.

[Dawn] "Ramazan brings hundreds to the mosque every evening, the real work begins after it ends — keeping young people engaged throughout the year," says a community member.
"Ramazan brings hundreds to the mosque every evening, the real work begins after it ends — keeping young people engaged throughout the year," says a community member.
Outside a mosque in Hilliard, Ohio, a police officer stood in the cold night air, handing out candies and stickers to children while their parents prayed taraveh inside.
Hilliard, a quiet suburb near Columbus, the state capital, is home to a growing Moslem community. At its centre stands Masjid-e-Noor, a striking modern structure whose wide glass frontage glows softly after sunset.
Smaller mosques also serve the area, including Masjid as Shurooq, where the North American Indian Moslem Association (Naima) hosted an iftar dinner for a small group earlier in the evening.
Many who broke their fast there later drove a few minutes to join the larger taraveh congregation at Masjid-e-Noor — a reminder that in a small town, distances are short and communities are closely knit.
Inside, worshippers raised their hands in dua, praying for an end to war and for peace in a troubled world. Outside, beneath the glow of parking-lot lights, a uniformed officer smiled at their children, offering sweets and stickers — a small gesture that quietly reflected the ease of coexistence in this Midwestern town.
The mosque’s spacious interior includes a large multipurpose area where children played a casual game of American football, rode small bicycles and clustered in animated groups after Maghrib and Isha prayers, while their elders stood shoulder to shoulder in long rows for taraveh.
"We make a conscious effort to keep the mosque welcoming for children," said Dr Mahmood Khan, a cardiologist and head of Naima. "If they feel at home here, they will remain connected to their faith. The aim is not to silence them, but to guide them."
In a brief address during a pause in the prayers, he gently reminded teenagers to respect the sanctity of the mosque while enjoying the open space.
Dr Khan said Naima focuses on broader community engagement, including healthcare initiatives, orphan support and small self-employment assistance. "Our responsibility extends beyond our own community," he said.
Local Moslem groups regularly organise food distribution drives across Ohio and hold free medical clinics. "Most of those who benefit from these services are non-Moslems," noted Shakil Saghir, an active member of the Hilliard Moslem community.
For younger volunteers like Yahya Mahmud, Ramazan is both a spiritual and organizational challenge. "Ramazan brings hundreds to the mosque every evening," he said. "The real work begins after it ends — keeping young people engaged throughout the year."
Muhammad Saifuddin, a university professor, observed that many Moslem families in Hilliard are highly educated professionals. "It is a peaceful place to raise children," he said. "Here, they learn to appreciate the best of both Moslem and American traditions."
In smaller American towns, there is often a simplicity in human interaction that feels increasingly rare in larger cities.
As the taraweeh prayers concluded and families stepped back into the cool Ohio night, children clutched their candies and stickers — small tokens of a kindness that required no translation.

In my return to NE Ohio, I see evidence in the parks and WalMart. Maybe 5 percent of folks in Eastern garb. Probably another five percent speaking Russian - probably gets higher the farther I get into Cleveland. No real presence of Somalians or Haitians in the suburbs.

[Regnum] Russians may experience a weak magnetic storm on March 13–14.Astrophysicist and Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergey Yazev told Regnum News Agency on March 9.
According to the expert, magnetic storms are usually caused by large solar flares. Coronal holes can also cause disturbances in space. One of these is expected to enter the line of influence on our planet in a few days.
"There's a moderately large coronal hole on the Sun right now. It should move into the solar central meridian, meaning it'll be directly opposite us, in about three to four days. We can expect a slight increase in magnetic intensity if the solar wind jet hits Earth, which it certainly will. However, coronal holes never cause strong magnetic storms. There will either be slightly increased disturbances, or, in the worst case, a weak magnetic storm," Yazev explained.
Regarding powerful flares, the expert estimates that the Sun is currently experiencing a complete lull. There are currently almost no sunspot groups on the star where large plasma ejections could occur.
"The solar situation is unusually calm right now—there are very few sunspots, and all solar activity indices are low. I see no reason at all to believe that anything could change dramatically in the coming week," the scientist added.
Yazev emphasized that a magnetic storm can only be predicted with certainty once an event capable of triggering it has occurred on the Sun. Making such forecasts several weeks in advance is virtually impossible.
"Forecasts of strong, I emphasize, strong magnetic storms over the next two weeks can be considered completely unfounded. I don't know who's making these forecasts. I suspect they're not experts," Yazev concluded.
