[Breitbart] A three-year-old boy has died and his mother injured after they were stabbed in a “random act of violence” in a grocery store parking lot in Cleveland, Ohio, according to officials.
The stabbing occurred at around 3:00 p.m. in the grocery story parking lot on Lorain Road in North Olmsted. Court officials allege that Bionca Ellis, 32, stole two knives from the North Olmsted Volunteers of America Thrift Store before walking to the Giant Eagle grocery store next door, following 37-year-old Margot Wood and her son, Julian, and stabbing both of them in the parking lot, 19 News reported.
“Ellis followed them and immediately stabbed the 3-year-old, located in the shopping cart, multiple times. His mother attempted to pull him out and was also stabbed,” according to the report.
North Olmsted police arrived on scene and gave first aid to both the mother and son before they were transported to St. John Medical Center, according to the report. Julian died in the hospital from his injuries. His mother was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover.
Captain Eric Morgan said officers located Ellis walking toward Dover Center Road, still holding the kitchen knife allegedly used in the attack, the outlet reported.
Ellis was arrested and taken to the North Olmsted Jail, where she is being held on a $1 million bond. She has since been indicted on one count of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault, one count of endangering children, one count of tampering with evidence, and one count of misdemeanor theft, according to court officials.
Det. Sgt. Matthew Beck said during a Tuesday press conference that the motive is under investigation, but he called the attack an “entirely random act of violence.” Beck added that Ellis and the mother and son had no previous interactions and no interaction inside the store.
The suspect had been arrested on May 30 related to a probation violation, but she was ultimately released, Beck said. She had also visited the North Olmsted Police Department on Monday to discuss her arrest, police said, noting that she had no “known violent criminal history.”
Incident at a fast food joint where a black gal was throwing a tantrum at the counter. Someone had had enough and told her to knock it off. She left, came back in with a knife, and cut his throat.

"On the positive side, this involved a knife so it doesn't go into the Gun Violence stats, so our numbers still look good. You know how the Mayor feels about the numbers."

Clicking through to the video was how I got to see pictures of the vics. I was pleased that both the anchor and on scene guys didn't soft pedal the nastiness of the crimes and the people who were interviewed on camera were all outraged and sad.

[NYPOST] The ex-wife of South Carolina pastor John Paul Miller — whose second wife killed herself after slapping him with divorce papers — has alleged he was "sexually inappropriate" with underage girls at his church and was repeatedly unfaithful, newly filed court documents show.
The sordid allegations about the 44-year-old pastor’s sex life were laid bare in emergency court papers filed last week by his first wife, Alison Williams, as she seeks custody of the couple’s two teen children, News 13 reported.
The claims are the latest to engulf Miller after his second wife, Mica Miller, shot herself dead in April just weeks after she accused him of grooming her as a teen and abusing her throughout their marriage — allegations he strenuously denies.

"Police arrived at the scene and arrested a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl. The pair were each charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and released pending court appearances."
The baby death should have rendered this a felonious assault and at least manslaughter.
[MAIL] A conservative activist who was embroiled in several lawsuits with Maine school districts over transgender inclusive policies and critical race theory has died by suicide.
Shawn McBreairty, 53, made a name for himself in 2021 after he appeared on Tucker Carlson's now-defunct Fox News show and claimed he would not be allowed at his twins' daughters graduation over his opposition to the district's teachings on race.
McBreairty, who called himself 'America's Most Dangerous Dad,' had been banned from the properties of Cumberland's Maine School Administrative District 51 after he padlocked a billboard to a school fence demanding superintendent Jeff Porter be fired.
Friends of the activist and his wife Patti have been posting their condolences on social media, with several local news outlets reporting that McBreairty died on Monday. The details of his death remain unclear.
[Epoch Times] The company behind the Mojave Desert solar farm said it will offset thousands of metric tons of carbon emissions, more than making up for the tree loss.
A California-based company is planning to develop a solar farm in the Mojave Desert, which will involve clearing thousands of protected Joshua trees from parts of the 2,300-acre project site.
The company, Avantus, will develop the solar project in the Boron and Desert Lake area of eastern Kern County—which is home to 20 sensitive wildlife species, including the Mojave desert tortoise and ground squirrel, as well as an estimated 80,000 acres of western Joshua tree habitat—according to a statement from the company.
The project will ultimately have a solar generation capacity of up to 530 megawatts, which can power approximately 420,000 households simultaneously, and a battery energy storage system of up to 600 megawatts, enough to power 480,000 homes, according to its website.
According to the company behind the project, the electricity it generates will be enough to power 180,000 homes constantly once fully operational. However, the electricity will be distributed to other parts of the state rather than to local communities.
"The generated power does little for us and will be relayed to wealthier coastal areas," Mr. English said.
While arguments on whether such projects hurt wildlife and plant species, according to the company, the sacrificed trees in Joshua Tree are for the benefit of the environment.
"While trees will be impacted during project construction, vastly more Joshua Trees are being threatened by climate change caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which the Aratina solar project directly addresses," a statement on the company’s website said.
The company said the project would offset approximately 860,000 metric tons of carbon emissions each year, which is comparable to planting 14 million trees.
not sure if hydro counts but once upon a time hydroelectric projects were done on time and on budget, e.g. Hoover Dam was completed well before it had been scheduled to be completed. It must be said, however, that, partly because of the 'hurry up' construction, many workers died.

[WMBF Charleston, SC] CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC/AP) - The U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday the crew of a container ship outbound from North Charleston lost the ability to control the engines, prompting the temporary closure of the Arthur Ravenel Bridge.
The Coast Guard Sector Charleston Command Center received a report from the Charleston Harbor Pilots dispatch at approximately 12:17 p.m. about the situation, Coast Guard Sector Charleston Deputy Cmdr. Randy Preston said.
Preston said the vessel was identified as the MSC Michigan and its pilot said the ship was stuck at nearly full throttle ahead moving at 14 to 17 knots as it was leaving North Charleston bound for Savannah.
"Our sector command center folks immediately started coordinating with our local partners to include launching our own vessels to clear vessel traffic out of the way of the container ship and also coordination with the local police departments to ensure traffic on the Ravenel Bridge was stopped ensuring that the public was safe," Preston said.
The container ship’s crew was eventually able to regain control of the ship’s engines and it cleared the harbor without incident, Coast Guard officials said. As of Wednesday afternoon, the vessel was anchored 8.5 nautical miles offshore as an investigation continues by members of the Coast Guard.
Two boaters on a different vessel were injured when their vessel was pushed onto rocks because of the cargo ship’s wake. The boaters were picked up and EMS took them to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
It was a surreal moment for those who witnessed the cargo ship speed toward Fort Moultrie Beach.
The captain for Charleston Water Taxi, Iris Duke, shared her experience from Wednesday.
"We were doing a normal run from Waterfront Park to Charleston Maritime Center Aquarium Wharf, and we just heard chatter on the radio," Duke said.
[Motorious] This car was the epitome of power and performance in the 1960s but what happened to the beloved GTO we all know and love?
1964 was a pivotal year in the American automotive industry as the ideal American spirit had shifted from the more conservative/stoic persona of the 1940s to the rebellious nature of the 1960s. This meant that the nation's youth were imitating their favorite rock stars, freedom fighters, and public figures in spitting in the face of subtlety. Everything from the clothes people wore to their cars were rocking brightly colored paint, powerful presentation, and a rock n' roll style! The first car to try out this rebellious attitude was the iconic Pontiac GTO which broke all of the rules at GM just to make the point that people want performance. These things were tiny for their time, and one man named John Delorean saw the potential for something huge under the hood.

For a while in 1969, I drove a 1968 Chevelle SS396, to which I added a Holly 780 CFM four-barrel carburetor. Oh, and it had a 4:10 rear axle. Really fast, but the valves floated at 100 mph.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Jason Toten, his fiancé Sierra Robert, and their children took a trip to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose to take their wildlife tour on Saturday, Toten told McClatchy News.
'We were having a little family day, just getting out of the house,' he said.
Similar to a petting zoo, Fossil Rim allows visitors to feed some animals with food they provide.
The couple and their daughter, Paisley, were admiring the animals passing and getting a close-up look at the hungry wildlife when a giraffe walks up to the truck, taking a particular liking to the toddler.
Within an instant, the little girl is lifted into the air.

[GEO.TV] A magnet fisher in New York, named James Kane, used a powerful magnet to fish all kinds of objects from the city's waterways.
However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese... he was surprised when he pulled stacks of $100 bills from a safe he caught from a lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Kane's girlfriend, Barbi Agostini, recorded the moment as her boyfriend pulled the slimy safe out of the lake and extracted bags of waterlogged, gunk-covered bills from inside it, Fox News reported.
"Oh, that's money," Kane said in the video. "Oh, it is! Stacks of bills, dude!"
"Oh, my God!" Agostini says.
The couple estimates that the safe contained around $100,000, though the bills were partly decomposed and stuck together.
The safe bore no clues to a rightful owner and the couple said they called the police to report their discovery but were told there was no evidence of a crime.
"They gave it to us, as, I guess you call it a finders keepers thing," Kane said.
According to a statement by the New York Police Department's public information office, "the value and authenticity of the alleged currency" could not be determined due to its "severely disintegrated condition."
Other magnet fishers have found bizarre things including a human skull padlocked to an exercise dumbbell last month and in April, one found a rifle and some belongings of a couple who were killed nine years ago.
Kane has caught bicycles, guns, grenades, and jewellery from New York City waterways, and shares them on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
The couple plan to take their soggy money to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington to redeem it although some of it may be too damaged to recover.

Just over a year after the first integrated flight test, SpaceX successfully launched the fourth flight of Starship on Thursday. For the first time, Super Heavy completed a successful landing burn while Starship made it through reentry — despite extensive burn damage to a forward flap — and softly landed in the Indian Ocean. This marks a major step in the Starship program and paves the way for future, more intensive test flights.

Rex Mundi - What? Compared to Boeing launching 2 poor astronauts yesterday on a ship to ISS with major leaks in Helium that caused lots of thrusters to fail and required 2 attempts at docking. If I was the Boeing Astronauts I would be begging to return on a Dragon at the ISS already. And this is not Sarcasm !
BTW ULA has a problem too. Their Vulcan launcher doesn't have enough successful launches yet so last week the military transferred a bunch of ULA launches to SpaceX's F9 and F9H.
[WayBackMachine] The corona hype is not based on any extraordinary public health danger. However, it causes considerable damage to our freedom and personal rights through frivolous and unjustified quarantine measures and restrictions. The images in the media are frightening and the traffic in China's cities seems to be regulated by the clinical thermometer.
Evidence based epidemiological assessment is drowning in the mainstream of fear mongers in labs, media and ministries.
The carnival in Venice was cancelled after an elderly dying hospital patient was tested positive. When a handful of people in Northern Italy also were tested positive, Austria immediately closed the Brenner Pass temporarily.
Due to a suspected case of coronavirus, more than 1000 people were not allowed to leave their hotel in Tenerife. On the cruise ship Diamond Princess 3700 passengers could not disembark., Congresses and touristic events are cancelled, economies suffer and schools in Italy have an extra holyday.
At the beginning of February, 126 people from Wuhan were brought to Germany by plane and remained there in quarantine two weeks in perfect health. Corona viruses were detected in two of the healthy individuals.
We have experienced similar alarmist actions by virologists in the last two decades. WHO's "swine flu pandemic" was in fact one of the mildest flu waves in history and it is not only migratory birds that are still waiting for "birds flu". Many institutions that are now again alerting us to the need for caution have let us down and failed us on several occasions. Far too often, they are institutionally corrupted by secondary interests from business and/or politics.
If we do not want to chase frivolous panic messages, but rather to responsibly assess the risk of a spreading infection, we must use solid epidemiological methodology. This includes looking at the "normal", the baseline, before you can speak of anything exceptional.
Until now, hardly anyone has paid attention to corona viruses. For example, in the annual reports of the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) they are only marginally mentioned because there was SARS in China in 2002 and because since 2012 some transmissions from dromedaries to humans have been observed in Arabia (MERS). There is nothing about a regularly recurring presence of corona viruses in dogs, cats, pigs, mice, bats and in humans, even in Germany.
However, children's hospitals are usually well aware, that a considerable proportion of the often severe viral pneumonia is also regularly caused or accompanied by corona viruses worldwide.
In view of the well-known fact that in every "flu wave" 7-15% of acute respiratory illnesses (ARI) are coming along with coronaviruses, the case numbers that are now continuously added up are still completely within the normal range.
About one per thousand infected are expected to die during flu seasons. By selective application of PCR-tests - for example, only in clinics and medical outpatient clinics - this rate can easily be pushed up to frightening levels, because those who need help there are usually worse off than those who are recovering at home. The role of such s selection bias seems to be neglected in China and elsewhere.
[American Thinker] We all know Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s command performance on D-Day.
With his firm grip on the tiller of strategy and secrecy, the Allies stormed France on June 6, 1944, on the way to victory over the Nazis 11 months later.
What many of us don’t know is a mighty hero in Ike’s ranks.
His name was James Earl Rudder, an Army lieutenant colonel whose scaling of the Pointe du Hoc cliffs helped turn the tide of the biggest amphibious invasion in history.
Omar Bradley, Ike’s top general at Normandy, knew exactly Rudder’s crucial role, writing: "No soldier in my command has ever been wished a more difficult task than that which befell the 34-year-old commander of the Provisional Ranger Force."
Rudder’s triumph high above the northwest coast of France was an uppercut to the Germans from the west as the Russians rushed from the east.
Patrick O’Donnell, author of the Ranger-filled "Dog Company," is in awe of Rudder: "Pure leadership. He was a leader of men. He had mental toughness. He was determined. It was in his DNA. And to think the whole operation might not have succeeded if he had not been there."
Douglas Brinkley, author of "The Boys of Pointe du Hoc," put it this way: "James Rudder was the best of the U.S. military tradition. As an officer, he was one with his men. He was the perfect leader. This was a man who went on a suicide mission, and it’s one of the most remarkable stories of World War II. He told his men they had a 50% chance of making it alive. And when his superiors told him not to go himself, he insisted. No way would he send them on that mission and not put his own life on the line."
Thomas Hatfield, author of "Rudder: From Leader to Legend," also raves: "He was one of the greatest citizen soldiers. The greatest, of course, was George Washington, who left the Army after the Revolution and returned to farming. Rudder was a reservist. He didn’t make the Army a career. He wanted to return to civilian life for two reasons: an attachment to his mother and an attachment to Texas, to ranching. He was a man of the soil."
[BBC] "D-Day tomorrow. Everybody quite excited. We land at Arromanches, clear three villages and Bayeux."
Discovered in a dusty upstairs room of a pub, the matter-of-fact entry for 5 June 1944 written in block capitals in a small, pocket-sized diary by an unknown serviceman feels understated.
But for Phil Smith, the landlord of the Bells of Peover pub in the tiny Cheshire village of Lower Peover, it never fails to excite.
"Every time I look at it, I get goose bumps all over my skin," the 44-year-old says.
The framed diary, open on the page for 5 and 6 June, has pride of place in the dining room.
Next to it hangs a map of Normandy's beaches carved into sectors on which the British, Commonwealth and American troops would land.
As fascinating as both are though, it is the room in which they are housed that has the greatest significance, as it was within its walls that the US finalised their plans for D-Day.
[BBC] Chinese nationals ran cybercrime syndicate from Zambia.
Twenty-two Chinese nationals have pleaded guilty to committing cyber-related crimes in Zambia.
They are among 77 suspects who were arrested in April in connection to what authorities described as a "sophisticated internet fraud syndicate".
The swoop on a Chinese-run company in the capital, Lusaka, followed an alarming rise in internet fraud cases in the country, targeting people in countries around the world.
The Chinese nationals are set to be sentenced on Friday, local media report.
There have been increasing cases of Zambians losing money from their mobile and bank accounts through money-laundering schemes which extend to other foreign countries, the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) said in April.
People in countries including Singapore, Peru, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and others across Africa have also been targeted in the online scam, Zambian authorities said.
Dozens of young Zambians were also arrested after allegedly being recruited to be call-centre agents in the fraudulent activities, including internet fraud and online scams, the DEC said during the arrests.
After a trial lasting several weeks, the 22 Chinese nationals, including one female, pleaded guilty to three charges - computer-related misrepresentation, identity-related crimes, and illegally operating a network or service.
The 22, along with a Cameroonian national, were charged with manipulating people's identities online with intent to scam them.
The accused hold different positions in the Chinese-run Golden Top Support Services, the company at the centre of the raid.
The company, located in Roma, an upmarket suburb of Lusaka, is yet to comment on the allegations.
Li Xianlin, believed to be the director of the company, was charged with operating the network without a licence from the Zambian authorities.
[ZERO] Remember when "developed world" central banks pretended their inflation target was 2%? Well, that lie died a miserable death today - and will do so again for good measure tomorrow - after the BOC cut rates for the first time in 4 years, and less than a year after its last rate hike, from 5.0% to 4.75% even as Canada's inflation remains a very sticky 2.7%.

Zero Hedge is incorrect about all the jobs going to illegal aliens.
It is true that over the past many months that the native born citizens in the work force have declined and the number of immigrants in the work force have increased. That is basically the effect of demographics with the boomers retiring and the post boomers being less numerous. However, the immigrants are in all probability, legal. In any event the companies who report employment in govt surveys, all certify that their employees are, to their knowledge, legal.

I suspect, given the lack of enforcement, "legal" is very chimeral for many. As soon as E-Verify is re-energized, retroactively applied, SSAN numbers are actually cross-matched with addresses and returns, duplicates investigated by ICE enforcement, that will evaporate a lot of that "legal status"!
a lot of work needed on e-verify
not only improving the system but also requiring employers to use it
right now all federal contractors must use e verify and several States require it
there are also a lot of employers who do not use e verify
probably only a few of the 3 million employers with fewer than 5 employees use e verify and a lot of the 6-20 employee companies are also non users

@#2 Fortunately, bear markets don't last as long as bull markets. Bear markets are generally violent (e.g., 2020) and relatively short lived.
[Behind the Black] Two stories this week both add weight to the growing pile of evidence in the past two years that the COVID jab not only did little to prevent the spread of that flu-like virus, it caused more deaths than it prevented.
First, research from Oxford University in Great Britain that studied more one million children aged 5 to 11 found that only those who got the jab would develop myocarditis and pericarditis.
The study did note that this study recorded no deaths from these heart conditions, but one must wonder what the parents of those young children think about that. You used to have a healthy kid who after getting the jab now has a serious heart condition that certainly has the potential of shortening that child’s life.
While the study found the jab seemed to reduce COVID in adolescents, it made no different for younger children. “Vaccinated children … were not substantially different from unvaccinated children in terms of COVID-19 infection and hospitalization.”
In other words, the jab overall did more harm then good among young children. And the harm was significant.
Next, research in the Netherlands of the continuing rise of excess deaths worldwhile strongly suggests once again that it is the jab itself that might be causing it.
[ZERO] With former President Donald Trump facing the possibility of being sentenced to prison just days before the Republican National Convention, GOP officials are formulating backup plans in case the former president isn’t able to receive the Republican party’s presidential nomination in person.
"We'll be thinking about it, and we’re working on that right now," RNC Chair Michael Whatley told Newsmax in an interview on June 4, when asked whether the Republican Party is preparing for the possibility that the former president can’t attend the convention because he’s behind bars.
The convention, which will take place in Milwaukee on July 15-18, is expected to draw thousands, but President Trump might not be one of them, given his recent felony conviction and the possibility that, on July 11, Justice Juan Merchan could sentence him to prison.
President Trump was recently found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide non-disclosure payments, supposedly to prevent bad press and sway the 2016 election in his favor. He maintains his innocence and says he’s the victim of a vindictive political prosecution meant to derail his 2024 comeback bid.
Justice Merchan could sentence President Trump for up to four years on each business records falsification count, with a maximum of 20 years.
The former president said in a June 2 interview on Fox News that he could handle being jailed or imprisoned while calling the people involved in his conviction as "sick" and "evil."
Trump Nominee No Matter What
The former president and his attorneys have vowed to appeal the conviction, with President Trump even calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to step in before the sentencing date and overturn the guilty verdict.
While a former Manhattan district attorney predicted that President Trump would receive no prison time regardless of any appeals process, GOP officials say they'll be ready to handle whatever scenario presents itself at the convention.

We evolved during a warmer, moister period. We warmed ourselves by burning wood and coal and peat for thousands of years. My boyhood home used to burn better than a ton of coal every winter, one house in a town of 3200 people. Major cities used to lie under a pall of smoke. We've cleared the skies over places like London and Los Angeles. And now we're supposed to be scared?
Go figure.

Obfuscation is the obscuring of the intended meaning of communication by making the message difficult to understand, usually with confusing and ambiguous language. The obfuscation might be either unintentional or intentional (although intent usually is connoted), and is accomplished with circumlocution (talking around the subject), the use of jargon (technical language of a profession), and the use of an argot (ingroup language) of limited communicative value to outsiders.

[GEO.TV] A new immunotherapy drug has given promising results in the treatment of bowel cancer, striking out the need for patients to get surgery and chemotherapy.
The new drug called Jemperli, also known as dostarlimab, showed "unprecedented results" as it fully cured bowel cancer in patients, proving effective in 100% of cases, The Sun reported.
According to data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , every patient on the medication had locally advanced mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) rectal cancer, a form of bowel cancer.
Jemperli is already approved on the National Health Service (NHS) for women with some types of advanced or recurrent womb cancer.
A US trial led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre has found that all 42 patients have responded to treatment, with no tumours detected on scans.
Studies suggest (dMMR) rectal cancer accounts for five to 10% of all rectal cancers.

[Red State] Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has made many contributions to civilization in his barely fifty years on this planet. His technological advances in various fields of travel - including into space - have been revolutionary. He's putting chips in the brains of paralyzed people allowing them mobility and enhanced communication. And, of course, his Tesla automobiles have become a high-end symbol of prestige. (We'll leave aside for the moment how Twitter has been working out lately.) But one of the really ubiquitous and also controversial areas he's engaged in is that of internet access and satellite communications using his Starlink system. He's been installing systems all across the world, including in Ukraine where he set up communications for the Ukrainian military and paid for it all himself. But the Ukrainians weren't the only people to benefit from such a donation.
A remote, rarely contacted indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest known as the Marubo was gifted with a Starlink system last September, potentially opening their access to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, according to tribal leaders, this gift hasn't worked out as many hoped it would. Nine months later, exposure to the internet - particularly social media and pornography - has reportedly ripped the tribe apart at the seams. (NY Post)
[NYPOST] Boeing launched astronauts for the first time Wednesday, belatedly joining SpaceX as a second taxi service for NASA.
A pair of NASA test pilots blasted off aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule for the International Space Station, the first to fly the new spacecraft.
The trip by Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams was expected to take 25 hours, with an arrival Thursday. They will spend just over a week at the orbiting lab before climbing back into Starliner for a remote desert touchdown in the western U.S. on June 14.
Years late because of spacecraft flaws, Starliner’s crew debut comes as the company struggles with unrelated safety issues on its airplane side.
Wilmore and Williams — retired Navy captains and former space station residents — stressed repeatedly before the launch that they had full confidence in Boeing’s ability to get it right with this test flight. Crippled by bad software, Starliner’s initial test flight in 2019 without a crew had to be repeated before NASA would let its astronauts strap in. The 2022 do-over went much better, but parachute problems later cropped up and flammable tape had to be removed from the capsule.
Wednesday’s launch was the third attempt with astronauts since early May, coming after a pair of rocket-related problems, most recently last weekend. A small helium leak in the spacecraft’s propulsion system also caused delays, but managers decided the leak was manageable and not a safety issue.
“I know it’s been a long road to get here,” NASA’s commercial crew program manager Steve Stich said before the weekend delay.
[NYPOST] They say they just want to make sure the planes don’t crash.
Two former employees of Boeing and its key contractor have told The Post that — despite the deaths of two whistleblowers within two months this year — they are more determined than ever to tell the truth about what they allege are dangerous practices at the once-great but now-scandal-scarred manufacturer.
Roy Irvin, a veteran of Boeing, and Santiago Paredes, who worked at Spirit AeroSystems (not to be confused with Spirit Airlines), are just two of at least 20 whistleblowers in the process of making their concerns about safety and quality issues at the aerospace giant public.
Their testimony comes after years of Boeing being dogged by whistleblower testimony and congressional investigations.
A scathing House Transportation and Infrastructure report in September 2020 found that two 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 were the "horrific culmination" of "repeated and serious failures" by the company and regulators.

[NYPOST] Elon Musk’s X could soon unveil a feature putting it head-to-head with TikTok and Instagram Reels.
The company is prepping the launch of a feature where X users will be served a stream of videos — both short snippets and longer-form videos, depending on their interests, a source told The Post.
Sources at X described it as a way to highlight the video content that users are sharing and creating and organize it under one tab. A beta version is expected to be available to a select group of users later this summer.
Musk has wanted to launch an updated version of Vine, the former 10-second video app which was once integrated into Twitter, since he bought the social media platform in October 2022.
In April, Musk asked his 186 million followers whether he should bring back Vine and nearly 70% of respondents voted yes.
"Vine was taken into consideration with this," one source said of the decision to launch a video platform inside Twitter. "The goal is to bring back that cool video experience."
