'Evil' Georgia man who killed two in random attacks is from BRITAIN and became US citizen under Biden in 2022, DHS says
[MAIL] The Georgia man who killed two in attacks that were described as 'pure evil' is actually from Britain and became a US citizen under Joe Biden's administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.

Olaolukitan Adon Abel, 26, is accused of murdering two people and injuring a third in a series of heinous gun attacks across DeKalb County in Georgia, which includes about 10 percent of Atlanta.

One of the people killed by Abel was DHS employee Lauren Bullis, 40, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin wrote on X.

#3  More than once. From MSN:

Abel, who was born in Camden and has relatives in the US, is said by the Department of Homeland Security to be a repeat offender with a criminal history stretching back several years.

Abel's criminal record has come under scrutiny since his arrest. In October 2024, in San Diego, he pleaded guilty to felony assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer or firefighter. In April 2025, in Savannah, Georgia, he was arrested for groping four women. He pleaded guilty to four misdemeanour counts of sexual battery and obstruction of an officer. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail, 36-48 months probation, a mental health/psychosexual evaluation, and banned from Savannah for four years.

Police flood Orange Crush island hot spot, warn of teen takeovers as beach bash madness returns
[FoxNews] Heightened security is coming to Tybee Island this weekend as the controversial Orange Crush festival returns, bringing with it concerns over a recent surge in unpermitted teen takeovers.

"In recent months, stories of so-called 'teen takeovers' have popped up across the country," Tybee Island police said in a Facebook post Tuesday. "This phenomenon hit home just over a week ago, when an unpermitted event on the beach was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Now, as we approach the return of Crush Reloaded, members of our local and online communities have expressed concerns."

The move follows a surge in nationwide "teen takeover" events, a trend that hit home last week when gunfire disrupted an unpermitted beach gathering on the island.

#1  DC curfew ends as teen takeover fears clock in – city braces for chaos amid spring break mayhem

A citywide curfew implemented in response to several violent teen "takeovers" is set to expire in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, setting the stage for another round of unsanctioned events to bring chaos to the city’s streets as schools are released for spring break.

Emergency legislation enacted by members of the city council previously allowed the chief of police to enact separate juvenile curfew zones that banned anyone under the age of 18 from gathering in high-volume areas between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, the Juvenile Curfew Second Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 is set to expire Wednesday – during D.C. schools’ spring break and just days after a crowd of rowdy teenagers descended on the Navy Yard waterfront in the latest unsanctioned, viral takeover plaguing the city’s residents.

California Republicans seek probe of $180 billion in taxpayer fraud
[JTN] California’s Assembly Republican Caucus on Wednesday called for a special legislative session to investigate an estimated $180 billion in fraud in taxpayer-funded programs.

“Fraud absolutely is linked to the cost-of-living crisis,” Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego, said during a news conference at the Capitol. “Every dollar, every penny of fraud is money that should be going to needy families in the form of government services that they are now seeing cuts in. Every dollar that’s given out to a fraudster is a dollar that should be given back to a taxpayer.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Assembly Minority Leader Health Flora and caucus members sent a letter to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, pointing to a new estimate that California may have lost at least $180 billion to fraud across state programs. Flora said the estimate was based on audits, public records and prior investigations. He called on Newsom to call a special session to determine the extent of fraud and improper payments and "advance reforms to strengthen oversight and recover taxpayer funds."
"Form a Committee!"
Republican lawmakers at the press conference said they were particularly concerned about fraud and waste in programs meant to help California’s homeless population, money being spent on fraudulent hospice programs and sober living facilities.

#1  Vance-led anti-fraud panel shutters 447 hospices in LA: Report

Vice President JD Vance's anti-fraud task force has shut down nearly 500 hospices and home health agencies in Los Angeles alone, Fox News reported.

The figure includes 447 hospices and 23 home health agencies. Collectively, the facilities accounted for roughly $600 million in public funds fraud.

President Donald Trump officially named Vance his "fraud czar" earlier this month, following a series of raids in LA that saw federal authorities target many hospices in the area.

“Where there is fraud, the task force will find it,” a Vance spokesperson told the outlet. “We will not stop until every hard-earned taxpayer dollar goes toward the honest Americans who deserve them.”

That string of operations followed Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Dr. Mehmet Oz in January posting videos highlighting the fraudulent hospice problem, linking the issue to the Armenian mafia in the area.

#2  Nick Shirley warns California bill could punish people trying to expose government fraud

As California Attorney General Rob Bonta celebrates the dismantling of a $267 million hospice fraud scheme, critics are sounding alarms over proposed legislation they argue could punish people who are trying to expose fraud within their own communities.

"They're trying to make it so citizen journalists or just average Americans who are going about seeing what's happening inside their community — they're trying to scare them from talking about potential fraud taking place inside of these communities," independent journalist Nick Shirley said Tuesday.

California State Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, D-Calif., the attorney general's wife, introduced AB 2624, which is titled "Privacy for Immigration Support Services Providers" or the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" by critics. It would expand existing safety and privacy laws for people working in immigration support services.

#6  DeMaio might have his heart in the right place but, with a Democrat super majority in the state legislature, it is highly unlikely that anything good will come of a special legislative investigation.

Any update on Ret. Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland. He was a key adviser on UFO-related projects.

He went missing (or was taken), back around Feb. 27. Which strangely was just about the time that the UFO files & reports releases were announced.

#2  It was further reported that he was not up to speed on UAP, having been out of that business for some time. He was, instead, involved in sophisticated research on new metals for weapons, iirc. As was the woman who disappeared while hiking with friends.

#6  Exotic Metals used for weapon systems are the same composite metals that are used with craft.
Huge overlap. I'd say his experience with the craft would make him well qualified to led a lab that researches exotic materials, exotic metals.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Wildlife service officials seize 1,600 pounds of illegal shark fins in Alaska
[AI-FoxWeather] The primary reason shark fin soup uses only the fins is that the fins **provide texture** (a gelatinous, cartilaginous mouthfeel) while contributing **no flavor** of their own, as the taste comes entirely from the high-quality broth and other ingredients.

**Economic and logistical factors** drive the practice of finning (removing only the fins and discarding the carcass):
* **High Value vs. Low Value**: Shark fins are the **most expensive seafood product by weight**, often fetching prices hundreds of times higher per pound than shark meat.
* **Transport Efficiency**: Fins are small and easily concealed, allowing boats to store and transport large quantities, whereas whole sharks take up significant space and are harder to preserve.
* **Profit Maximization**: Because fins are so profitable, fishermen have a strong incentive to target sharks solely for their fins rather than utilizing the entire animal.

**Cultural and historical context** also plays a role, as the dish originated as a **symbol of prestige, wealth, and status** in Chinese culture, traditionally served at weddings and banquets. While the texture is the culinary reason for using the fin, the high demand for this specific part has led to the widespread, controversial practice of shark finning, where sharks are often cut and returned to the ocean alive to die.

-War on Police-
Man claiming to be cartel member allegedly threatens to put 'green light' on cops and their families
[FoxNews] Jon Christian Orozco, 25, was first arrested April 10 in El Paso during a traffic stop after allegedly running a red light, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said. During the stop, deputies allegedly smelled alcohol, and Orozco was arrested on suspicion of second-degree driving while intoxicated.

While being taken into custody, Orozco allegedly threatened the deputies and their loved ones, telling two officers "he could place a green light" on both of them. The term "green light" is commonly used by criminal organizations to signify authorization for an individual to be assaulted or killed.

"He continued making explicit threats, including statements indicating intent to locate and harm law enforcement personnel," the sheriff’s office stated. "Based on these actions, additional charges for obstruction or retaliation were filed."

Groundbreaking New Study Regarding IVERMECTIN and cancer
[ZERO] BLUF: The report analyzed 197 cancer patients who were prescribed ivermectin and mebendazole off label. Participants received compounded oral capsules containing 25 mg of ivermectin and 250 mg of mebendazole. After 6-months, participants reported an 84% Clinical Benefit Ratio. With 48% of participants reporting regression or no evidence of cancer, while 36% reported disease stability. Only 15.6% of participants reported disease progression.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death globally, with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted agents frequently limited by significant toxicity, high cost, development of resistance, and variable long-term efficacy.

The experts at The Wellness Company undertook this study because ivermectin and mebendazole have demonstrated highly promising anti-cancer activity in preclinical models. But despite compelling preclinical data and documented safe use in cancer patients, robust clinical evidence evaluating the ivermectin—mebendazole combination in oncology remains limited.

According to Dr. McCullough, "This study reveals an exciting new potential that should expand the consideration of ivermectin and mebendazole for inclusion in the treatment of multiple cancer types. We urgently need a full-fledged scientific investigation into this class of medications and their impact on cancer treatment."

These INVERMECTIN stories keep popping up. I hope and pray there is truth and legitimate discovery to be found somewhere.

"Can Only Imagine What FCC Has To Say": Open Source Military Radar Plans Appear Online
[ZERO] Someone on GitHub has built an open-source radar system capable of tracking multiple targets up to roughly 12 miles away, at a fraction of the cost that a major defense contractor would typically charge for a comparable system.

AERIS-10 is an open-source phased-array radar system that demonstrates how advanced sensing technology has moved out of the defense-prime world and into civilian hands, with one person releasing all the design and development files on GitHub.

The 10.5 GHz phased-array radar system is available in two versions:

AERIS-10 is an open-source, low-cost 10.5 GHz phased array radar system featuring Pulse Linear Frequency Modulated (LFM) modulation. Available in two versions (3km and 20km range), it's designed for researchers, drone developers, and serious SDR enthusiasts who want to explore and experiment with phased array radar technology.

The developers wrote, "The AERIS-10 project aims to democratize radar technology by providing a fully open-source, modular, and hackable radar system."

"Whether you're a university researcher, a drone startup, or an advanced maker, AERIS-10 offers a platform for experimenting with beamforming, pulse compression, Doppler processing, and target tracking," they added.

X user chiefofautism noted, "One person built what defense contractors charge a quarter million for and open-sourced it."

That's a great question:
