American Truckers United Issues Dire Warning On 'Unsafe' Highways Amid Flood Of Migrant Drivers, Crashes
[ZERO] Shannon Everett of the trucking advocacy group American Truckers United (ATU) has been one of the most outspoken folks about the Biden-Harris regime's role in the surge of migrant drivers with non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). He warns the influx has transformed U.S. highways into a national security threat and a growing public safety crisis, citing multiple fatal crashes this year involving migrants behind the wheel of fully loaded 80,000-pound big rigs.

"This is an urgent wake-up call for every American," Everett wrote on X, alongside a video warning about the hundreds of thousands of migrants operating big rigs with non-domiciled CDLs. He urged heightened situational awareness on the nation's highways, citing concerns that lax licensing standards have put unqualified, non-English-speaking drivers behind the wheels of 80,000-pound rigs.

He continued, "Our highways are no longer safe. Reckless immigration policies and weakened licensing standards have unleashed a deadly crisis on our roads."

Americans have claimed to have seen UFOs more than 2,000 times in six months
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Americans have claimed to have seen UFOs more than 2,000 times in the first six months of 2025. This is evidenced by data from the National UFO Reporting Center ( NUFORC ).

It is noted that during the first week of July, the center received 87 calls about activity of "extraterrestrial origin." At the same time, unidentified flying objects were encountered most often in January - more than 560 times per month. Often, Americans allegedly saw quickly and silently flying triangles with multi-colored lights, as well as glowing balls and plates.

“A black triangular object hovered about 300 feet above my house for about one and a half to two minutes,” one person who contacted the center complained.

Earlier in 2024, Donald Trump, then a candidate for US President, promised to declassify materials on UFOs and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In February 2025, agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of UFO cases feared that they might be fired amid cuts being carried out by the White House.

On June 8, The Wall Street Journal published an investigation according to which the Pentagon covered up its secret operations with UFO data. In particular, the military department used reports of "saucers" to divert attention from the testing of stealth aircraft, including the F-117.

In addition, the famous Russian ufologist Valery Uvarov revealed in a conversation with the Regnum news agency two possible options for why the US authorities need stories about UFOs. In his opinion, in the first case, Washington is trying to distract ordinary Americans from the state's problems in the economic and political spheres. In the second case, the authorities want to hide the truth that they really do have UFO debris, as well as programs to study artifacts from the Moon and Mars.

#1  #1 I've seen UUFOs, my problem is trying yo figure out if its a 787 or a 330. At least I think they are airplanes, but all I could see is a blob like object with two contrails streaming from them.

That make them UFOs right?

Scientists have recorded a rapid increase in solar flare activity
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Scientists have been observing a rapid increase in the number and area of active centers on the Sun since July 11. This was reported on the website of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Experts noted that the Solar Orbiter spacecraft is currently monitoring solar phenomena. According to scientists, activity has also been recorded on the far side, not visible from Earth.

“From July 11 to 12, 17 flares occurred on the Sun, which corresponds to an increase in flare activity of approximately three times compared to the average values for July,” the report said.

Scientists noted that the number of M-level flares will increase in the next couple of days. However, the increase in activity has not yet created any direct threats to Earth.

The laboratory believes that the change in solar activity is global in nature.

On June 18, during the monitoring of solar activity, a powerful X-class flare was registered. According to the Institute of Applied Geophysics, its strength was X1.2, and its duration reached 16 minutes.

#2  From Wiki -"Solar cycle 25 began in December 2019. Several predictions have been made for solar cycle 25 based on different methods, ranging from very weak to strong magnitude. A physics-based prediction relying on the data-driven solar dynamo and solar surface flux transport models seems to have predicted the strength of the solar polar field at the current minima correctly and forecasts a weak but not insignificant solar cycle 25 similar to or slightly stronger than cycle 24. Notably, they rule out the possibility of the Sun falling into a Maunder-minimum-like (inactive) state over the next decade. A preliminary consensus by a solar cycle 25 Prediction Panel was made in early 2019.[24] The Panel, which was organized by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and NASA, based on the published solar cycle 25 predictions, concluded that solar cycle 25 will be very similar to solar cycle 24. They anticipate that the solar cycle minimum before cycle 25 will be long and deep, just as the minimum that preceded cycle 24. They expect solar maximum to occur between 2023 and 2026 with a sunspot range of 95 to 130, given in terms of the revised sunspot number."

The Trump Administration Is About to Make a HUGE Move Against the Deep State
[PJ Media] In a bombshell revelation, investigative journalist John Solomon confirmed to Steve Bannon on Real America’s Voice that the Department of Justice and the FBI have been quietly building a major criminal conspiracy case targeting the Deep State’s decade-long effort to derail Donald Trump. According to Solomon, the scope of the investigation could finally deliver the accountability that many in the MAGA movement have long demanded.

"I think next week, over the next 10 days... the base, who’s been wondering, ’Where is all that accountability?’—they’re gonna get some big surprises," Solomon said. He claimed the case reaches back to the summer of 2016, before Crossfire Hurricane was launched, and extends all the way through to 2024, encompassing "a large series of events" aimed at stopping Trump from winning the presidency.

Solomon said the massive case has been built largely out of the public eye, obscured by media theatrics and political infighting. "It’s been masked by a lot of this infighting and drama and soap opera stuff," he said. "But the truth of the matter is, MAGA base Americans are gonna be happy when they see where this is all heading."

I hope so!

Bannon pressed Solomon to clarify whether this was, in fact, a formal investigation by federal authorities. Solomon didn’t hesitate. "There is a conspiracy case that was opened that looks at this window as a very large window," he confirmed. "I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a special prosecutor named by Pam Bondi in the next week or two."

This is the most interesting part of the revelation to me, especially in light of the blowback Bondi has received over the whole Epstein client list debacle that has FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino threatening to resign unless she is removed. Could Bondi be reassigned to be special prosecutor to keep Bongino and Patel at the FBI?

#2  Always just about to happen.

Look, Epstein worked for Mossad and that should have been blown wide open by now. He hung around with Ehud Barak after his child fucking conviction. We aren't hearing this, so what the fuck.
Either Trump turned traitor or he's not in control of our government.

#5  Ref #2: Trump turned traitor or he's not in control of our government.

Traitor? No, but it's a difficult chess game. Type "A" personalities sometimes have trouble working together. Wrestling the power away from those who are "in control" (after 60-70 years) is a massive undertaking. Didn't go well for JFK. Nearly didn't go well from Trump. Let's all hope and pray he survives the crooked bastids.

* Some have said 'had JFK survived his presidency, Vietnam would have never happened.' Make of that what you will.
