Marines Fly Flags at Half-Mast After Revered Former Commandant Al Gray Dies at 95
[Marines] WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It is with great sadness that the Marine Corps announces the death of the 29th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Alfred M. Gray. General Gray died March 20, 2024 in Alexandria, Virginia, after a brief stay in hospice care.

“Today I mourn with all Marines, past and present, the loss of our 29th Commandant, Gen. Gray,” said Gen. Eric M. Smith, 39th Commandant of the Marine Corps. “He was a ‘Marine’s Marine’—a giant who walked among us during his career and after, remaining one of the Corps’ dearest friends and advocates even into his twilight. His contributions are many, including the development of our maneuver warfare doctrine, Warfighting, which remains, to this day, the philosophic bedrock of how we fight as Marines. Although he will be missed by all, his legacy will endure and his spirit will continue to live among us.”

General Gray was promoted to the rank of general, July 1, 1987, and he immediately assumed duties as the Commandant of the Marine Corps. He retired June 30, 1991, and spent his retirement years in northern Virginia with his wife, Jan, until her death in 2020.

General Gray presided over significant changes in the Marine Corps, none more important than the development and publication of Fleet Marine Force Manual 1 (FMFM-1), Warfighting. This document, barely over 100 pages, has become legendary among military doctrine and remains the foundation for how the Marine Corps thinks about, prepares for, and executes all Marine Corps operations.

General Gray also placed emphasis on large-scale maneuver in desert and cold-weather environments and robust maritime special operations capabilities. His staunch advocacy for military education resulted in the establishment of Marine Corps University.

General Gray was beloved by his Marines, and he is well known for being the first Commandant to have his official photograph and portrait taken in the camouflage utility uniform, famously remarking that “every Marine is, first and foremost, a rifleman. All other conditions are secondary.”

His full biography is located here: Gen. Alfred M. Gray. A full obituary will be released shortly.

All Marine Corps Installations will half-mast the National Ensign upon receipt of ALMAR 003/24 until sunset on April 18. The 29-day period is in honor of the Corps’ 29th Commandant. Media seeking additional information should contact U.S. Marine Corps Communication Directorate at OnTheRecord@usmc.mil.

#1  During his tenure as Commandant, the congress or congressional staffers attempted to school General Gray on the placement of women within the Corps. Paraphrased slightly, his response was:

"I will decide who is assigned to positions within the Marine Corps."

-Great Cultural Revolution
Beating the war drums: UN climate adviser says white people are taking up ‘too much space'
[American Thinker] Ayisha Siddiqa would have made for a perfect addition to the Squad of Congress (she’s a foreign-born Islamist who hates white people and the culture of the West) and given her views, she’s also an obvious fit for the United Nations bureaucracy—which is why Secretary-General António Guterres handpicked Siddiqa to be a member of the United Nations Youth Advisory Group, a "mechanism" to "accelerate global climate action, and drive forward all 17 Sustainable Development Goals."

Now, Fox News just published a report by Hannah Grossman, which covered Siddiqa’s social media rap sheet—per Grossman, Siddiqa has repeatedly "call[ed] for the destruction of capitalism," has claimed that the word "terrorism" is simply a "Western smear to justify its imperialism" and that "White people" are solely to blame for humanity’s purported trend toward "extinction" because the alleged "climate crisis" is all our fault.

Here are a few of Siddiqa’s most vile statements, from her laundry list of offensive opinions, via Grossman:

In March 2021, she [Siddiqa] posted, ’[T]he white man has brought life as we know it, to the verge of extinction.’

’The white man sits at the highest level of power in the world, the same way he has killed, looted and abused black and brown people for profit so has he the earth,’ she [Siddiqa] posted in May 2022.

’We’re allowing White people to have too much space,’ she [Siddiqa] said.

Yes, we’re apparently taking up "too much space" and because of our skin color, we deserve to be... Ostracized? Enslaved? Killed? She doesn’t really say, but given Siddiqa’s tone, I’m not too optimistic that she’d settle for peaceful coexistence—shortly after the George Floyd situation, Siddiqa stated her belief that "racial harmony is fallacy." As someone online noted:

Planet Fitness sees $400 MILLION wiped off its value in just five days
Pretty weak.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Planet Fitness' valuation has plummeted $400 million in five days after they banned a member who shared a photo of a 'trans woman' using a female locker room.

The company's value dropped from $5.3 billion on March 14 to $4.9 billion on March 19, and its shares are down by 13.59 percent compared to a month ago.

The decline follows Planet Fitness' refusal to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in a female locker room earlier this month.

Patricia Silva was barred from the gym in Alaska after she detailed an incident online - where she said she saw a transgender woman in her locker room.

Following backlash against the ban, the company said although some members may feel uncomfortable sharing facilities, 'this discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.'
All choices have an opportunity cost.

Texas State Board of Education Blackballs BlackRock
[TowhnHall] As state leaders continue to recognize and take action to mitigate investment risk caused by woke ESG — environmental, social and governance — policies, the Texas State Board of Education has delivered a significant blow to the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock, due to its embrace and prioritization of "green" energy (read: anything but green) and attempts to force a transition to a "net-zero" carbon emission economy.

Led by Chairman Aaron Kinsey, the Texas State Board of Education found that BlackRock was not in compliance with a provision in Texas state code that prohibits state investment in companies that boycott energy companies, a practice that Kinsey found BlackRock's emphasis on ESG has created.

As a result, the Permanent School Fund (PSF) took action on Tuesday, notifying BlackRock that it was divesting a whopping $8.5 billion from the firm — the largest single divestment from BlackRock since state leaders began rejecting asset management firms with values that run opposite their states' priorities.

USS New Jersey to leave port for first time in 24 years, big guns will fire salute: 'I love this ship'
[FoxNews] 'Big J' launched one year after Pearl Harbor attack, will head to Philadelphia for drydock maintenance.

Ken Kersch speaks about the USS New Jersey as if it were a warm old friend instead of cold steel military hardware. "I love this ship," said Kersch, who spent four years in the U.S. Navy (1966-70).

"It’s the best ship I served on. She was a part of my life for two years. She’s a part of me now."

Kersch was a machinist on the USS New Jersey from 1967 to 1969, as the battleship supported land operations during the Vietnam War.

Now, on Thursday, he will ride aboard Big J again. She is scheduled to leave her mooring in Camden, New Jersey at 12:10 p.m. for the first time since arriving in 2000.

The dauntless dreadnought is now the centerpiece of the Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial.

USS Texas is just about with her dry dock visit where she spent more then 18 months being repaired and re-painted.

South Africa: ANC takes new opposition party to court
[AFRICANEWS] South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) is suing the independent electoral body and a rival political party led by a former president, highlighting divisions ahead of what could be the most crucial election of the last 30 years in the country.

The ANC says the new uMkhonto weSizwe ( Spear of the Nation ) party did not meet registration criteria in September. The case opened on Tuesday before the electoral court in Bloemfontein, in the centre of the country.

The new party, also known as MK and led by ex-South African president and former ANC leader Jacob Zuma, could be deregistered and unable to contest the May 29 national elections. MK officials said they would not accept being disqualified, with one even threatening "civil war".

MK sowed trouble within the ANC by using the name of its now-disbanded military wing, which had been founded by Nelson Mandela. The ANC is challenging the use of the name uMkhonto weSizwe and a logo that bears a striking resemblance to that of its former military branch in separate legal proceedings over copyright infringement.

Zuma's decision to pledge support for MK has added a new element to the bitter rivalry. The two parties have exchanged insults in recent months. ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula called Zuma "the most destructive person" to South Africa's democratic progress and referred to the new party's officials as his "chihuahuas".

Zuma was forced out of South Africa's leadership in 2018 following corruption allegations and is currently on trial for corruption, although that case has faced long delays. He has been extremely critical of the ANC of his successor, current South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Mr Zuma was suspended from the ANC after publicly supporting Mr MK. He attended Tuesday's hearing at the Electoral Court, as did Mbalula.

The ANC has governed South Africa for 30 years since the end of apartheid's system of racial segregation in 1994, but it is expected to face its toughest test in the vote of this year. Several polls predict that the ANC will lose its majority for the first time and will be forced to form a coalition to stay in power.

According to the latest poll conducted in February and March, MK could become South Africa's third party after its first national election, with significant support in Zuma's home province of KwaZulu-Natal, where it is expected to gain ground. voice in the ANC.

The ANC has denied the legal action is a reaction to the political threat posed by MK and Zuma.

MK's response to the legal action has also troubled South Africans, particularly comments from Visvin Reddy, a party official in KwaZulu-Natal. "Listen to me very carefully," Mr. Reddy said in a speech earlier this month. "This country will descend into civil war the day MK is not allowed to campaign and be on the ballot. No one will vote. No one in this country will vote. We will make sure of it."

China-Japan-Koreas
'You Already Work for the CIA' or the Case of Seductress Xiao Ming
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Dmitry Kosyrev

[RIA] The technology here is this : they “offer a job to a client” or start an affair with one. Both are on the Internet, of course, not in person. And this is done in good Chinese, since we are talking about the subversive activities of the CIA on the territory of this particular country. True, exactly the same methods (but in Russian) are used by people from the same agency in Russia and in many other countries.

The option is romantic: a girl named Xiao Ming contacts a person on the Internet and, among other things, asks him to take a photo of the port with yachts and the embankment (since the young man lives by the sea). Then - a photograph of the same embankment every other day, when warships come there. Or it could be simpler - a person, again online, is trying to get a job, and the “employer” tests his ability to take completely ordinary photos, without warships, just the view from the window.

After which the unfortunate man receives a message: you have just entered into cooperation with the CIA, and it is easy to verify this fact, it is included in our files. It doesn’t matter that the street in the picture contains no military installations, what matters is that the foreign intelligence service needed it for some reason, and you fulfilled its task. You can go and confess, hoping that competent police officers work in your county and will not do anything to you. Or you can continue to be hooked, even for the rest of your life.
Something about Chinese wimmin...
And let us note - everything is so simple and stupid. No spies trample your land and risk their lives, but sit behind a keyboard somewhere far across the sea.

The facts described above are taken from a recent document from the Chinese Ministry of State Security. The agency is not just warning, it recognizes the need to launch a broad public education campaign. The campaign has been conducted before (in schools and beyond), but now it emphasizes the need to create primitive videos for the most stubborn inhabitants of the Internet and make sure that these videos are literally everywhere. A good initiative, by the way. In our country, something similar would also not hurt at a time when calls from Ukrainian Internet saboteurs are already overwhelming.

There have been warning stories from the Beijing ministry for two weeks now. And the other day it received a continuation - an unexpected leak of information to Reuters from a “former US government employee with access to highly confidential information.” It turns out that President Donald Trump instructed the CIA to conduct secret operations on Chinese social networks in order to “turn public opinion in the country against its government.” Sending romantic photos to Langley is apparently a small part of the story.

And now there is a scandal with US officials refusing to comment on this information and everything else. Additional details are being discussed, including that the same secret unit of internet warriors was distributing fake news to news outlets around the world. First of all, about the Chinese economy, but also about “dissatisfaction with the regime” too. And especially about the “corruption of Beijing officials” related to foreign investments of the PRC. Where the facts come from is a funny question, there are those who have been recruited for that, they will tell you anything.

What conclusions can be drawn from this story? Not that new. Without a declaration of war, the US government and its official agencies carry out subversive activities against foreign countries. Is this a sensation? Clearly not. The aforementioned Reuters report nostalgically recalls that during the Cold War against the USSR, the same company published 80-90 anti-Soviet information or articles per day in the world media. And the current revelations, says one of the authors of the Hong Kong South China Morning Post, are just sunflower seeds. And he begins to list much more serious facts from recent history.

In general, there seems to be nothing new, but the methods of today’s hybrid warfare - yes, there is something to notice here. In both cases, when recruiting and sending out fakes, anonymous people work. And here there is something petty and not respectable. It’s okay to use lies to recruit agents. Intelligence, in general, exists to identify real threats to your state, sometimes it works harshly... In general, anything can happen here.

But to officially and purposefully create a false information picture, that is, to secretly spread slander about a foreign state, somehow does not fit into normal ideas about a world living “by the rules,” or even more so by international law. Some might even say that decent people and countries should not do such things. This is supposed to be punished or at least demanded the resignation of extreme officials such as CIA Director William Burns. In any case, a strong and self-respecting power should not stoop to petty scams and anonymous accounts. This, in fact, is the result of the current “Chinese” revelations of American methods.

North Korea successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for a hypersonic missile
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The DPRK successfully tested a solid-fuel jet engine for a new medium-long-range hypersonic missile, led by the country's leader Kim Jong-un. The North Korean Central Telegraph Agency (KCNA) reported this on March 20.

It is clarified that the planned ground test of the nozzle of a multi-stage solid propellant jet engine for a new hypersonic rocket was carried out on March 19 at the Sohae Cosmodrome by the General Directorate of Rocket Science of the DPRK and the subordinate Research Institute of Engines.

The test took place under the leadership of Kim Jong-un and senior personnel.

“The successful completion of this critical test established the timetable for the development and improvement of the medium-long-range hypersonic missile system,” the statement said.

After the successful test, the DPRK leader pointed out that the strategic value of the new missile, in his words, is no less than intercontinental ballistic missiles, noting “great satisfaction with the impeccable execution” of the party’s tasks in the field of creating strategic weapons.

As Regnum reported, on January 25, the DPRK Main Directorate of Rocket Science carried out a test launch of a new type of strategic cruise missile for the first time. It was noted that the rocket is still at the development stage.

On January 29, KCNA reported the successful test of North Korean Pulhwasal-3-31 cruise missiles. They were launched from a submarine, after which the missiles accurately hit the conditional targets.

Government Corruption
Army General Pressured Assessment Panel to Help Career of 'Ineffective' Officer
[Mil.com] One of the Army's top generals may have abused his authority and subverted the service's process for selecting senior leadership in what some officials have described to Military.com as a conspiracy to prop up a subordinate officer who was deemed unfit for command.

A Military.com investigation found that Gen. Charles Hamilton, who oversees Army Materiel Command, spent about a month last year trying to pull strings behind the scenes for a female lieutenant colonel to breeze through the service's Battalion Commander Assessment Program, or BCAP. This included directly lobbying at least three generals on the assessment panel and successfully pushing officials to let the lieutenant colonel get a second board two days after she failed the first.
Forget the "unfit" officer, I'd like to know how an enlisted parachute rigger becomes a four star ?
The interference became so egregious that the director of the Army Command Assessment Program, Col. Robert O'Brien, penned a memo chronicling Hamilton's conduct on Nov. 1, immediately after the lieutenant colonel was deemed unfit twice in two assessment panels within 48 hours.

When he got caught, he was pointed towards the door with all possible haste.

Wasn't his first rodeo either; just before Desert Storm kicked off he was about to be sent home from an Important Post in USAFE for - in the words of a long departed friend - 'canoodling with the hired help'. Trouble was that before that could happen, Saddam got stupid...and this guy was the only dude on the USAFE staff who knew where everything was. Saved by events, he was, and in the general afterglow everything was kinda forgotten - but the most senior leadership still wanted to keep an eye on him so they brought him to DC as the Congressional liaison. Didn't work.

And - I kid you not, dear Friends - this guy has since been involved in at least two eight-figure scams that I know of. At this point, if you run across an elderly retired fighter pilot trying to sell you a used car or beachfront property in Arizona, run.

Durbin, Marshall Weaponizing the Government to Help Mega-Stores
[Breitbart] It’s a tale all too common in small towns across America. Small businesses once thrived on Main Street only to see giant corporate mega-stores blow into town to undercut them. Now, a new threat looms for small businesses in the form of the Durbin-Marshall credit card bill.
The Mega-Stores, they continue to struggle.
The bill is poised to alter the credit card routing system as we know it under the guise that it would "create competition" and financially benefit small businesses, community banks, and consumers. But the facts reveal just the opposite.

While Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Roger Marshall (R-KS)’s mega-store allies would stand to gain billions, recent findings from the University of Miami paint a more bleak picture for mom and pop retailers. While the top 100 largest stores could see a benefit of nearly $3 billion, with $1.2 billion going to the top five largest retailers alone —Walmart, Amazon, Costco, Kroger and Home Depot — businesses with less than $500 million in revenue would see little or any benefit.

Despite promises of benefits, the report also found that small businesses would likely lose out on their own rewards, as small business operators receive roughly $12 billion in credit card rewards when they make purchases on credit themselves. The bill jeopardizes credit card rewards programs, essential for both businesses and consumers. By increasing costs and threatening the viability of heavily relied-on programs — such as cash back, airline points, and credit card rewards — already struggling Americans would feel an even tighter financial strain.

Many industries and groups now see this bill for what it is — harmful to consumers, to our economy, and to our communities. These individuals are trying to speak out against the legislation, only to face further threats and harm.

Four Meds banned by Biden Administration and how to legally get them

Azithromycin is an antibiotic of the macrolide class. It has been shown to exhibit both antiviral and immunomodulatory properties that can offer therapeutic benefit to certain viral respiratory infections. Studies indicate Azithromycin may directly inhibit viral load, particularly in the early stages of Covid-19.

#3  Look up the zelensky protocol. There is no spin. The NIH has performed testing, dozens, to prove it does not work. They went as far as to only test terminally ill patients, stage 4 cancer, only to find that it not only worked but it reduced the tumor cell sizes. Now some of the large cancer institutes are adding the Ivermectin protocol to the treatment plan. So much for trying to discredit it...

CDC Releases Paper on Myocarditis After COVID Vaccination, and EVERY WORD Is Redacted
From a comment this morning by Skid.
[Vigilant Fox] CDC Releases Paper on Myocarditis After COVID Vaccination, and EVERY WORD Is Redacted

"148 pages. The entire thing is redacted. What good does a study do if there’s nothing there?"

There’s obviously something very damning that they’re trying to hide.

Dr.
@P_McCulloughMD
says we’re witnessing an "active cover-up" of a "colossal consumer product safety debacle."

"Pfizer recorded 1223 deaths with their product within 90 days of release. People were calling Pfizer in desperation, watching their family members die after taking the vaccine."

WSJ: The US Department of Justice offered Assange's lawyers the opportunity to mitigate the charges
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The United States Department of Justice has offered lawyers for journalist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange the opportunity to mitigate charges in exchange for his guilty plea. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.

“The US Department of Justice is considering whether to allow Julian Assange to plead guilty to a reduced charge of mishandling classified information,” the material says.

It is noted that over the past few months, representatives of the department have held a number of negotiations with Assange’s lawyers, during which the parties discussed the formula for a possible deal.

According to the source, the journalist’s confession can be organized remotely, that is, without extradition from the UK. In addition, the five years spent in prison will be taken into account when sentenced.

As Regnum reported, on February 20 and 21, hearings on Assange’s extradition to the United States were held at the High Court in London; at the moment, no decision has been made. In the United States, the founder of WikiLeaks faces 18 criminal charges, on which he faces a total of up to 175 years in prison. One of the last options to prevent his extradition to the United States may be an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

‘Vigilantes’ try to evict squatters at $1M Queens house after homeowner who confronted them is arrested in tense standoff
[NYPost] A pair of vigilantes allegedly tried to forcefully evict three alleged squatters from a million-dollar Queens home after the homeowner was arrested when she changed the locks and tried to remove them.

Two unidentified men driving a black pickup truck pulled into the driveway of the Flushing home searching for the tenants Tuesday afternoon, according to the Daily Mail.

“We are looking to get this guy out,” one of the men allegedly said, a neighbor told the outlet. “I am here to talk to him. I want to see why he is here.”

Adele Andaloro, 47, was in the process of selling the property when the group shadily took refuge in the home last month.

Andaloro inherited the $1 million property from her parents after they died.

She confronted the trio and changed the locks in hopes they would not be able to re-enter if they left.

However, a male inside the home called the police on Andaloro, who was later arrested.

Neighbors have noticed some concerning activity from the house since the alleged squatters snaked their way into the home.

A 24-year-old college student living next to the home, identified only as Kosta, said she’s been “on edge” since the occupants arrived.

“We all know what they are up to, so we’re all kind of pissed about it,” Kosta told the outlet Tuesday.

The concerned neighbor claimed boards were all over the property and the people occupying the home were “doing construction on the house all night long.”

“I heard a drill and saw through my window that they were drilling holes into the wall and putting up boards,” Kosta said.

A male inside the home called the police on Andaloro, who was then arrested.
“I don’t know if the board is still there, but it looked like they were trying to hide what was inside.”

A woman, who requested to remain anonymous, claimed she saw one of the unethical dwellers carrying a door into the home late one night.

What you need to know about squatters in New York:

What are squatter’s rights in New York?

Squatters in New York state can claim a legal right to remain on a property without the owner’s permission after 10 years of living there. However, in New York City a person only needs to be on the property for 30 days to claim squatter’s rights.

Why is it so hard to get rid of a squatter?

Squatters are allowed a wide range of rights once they have established legal occupancy, making it difficult to evict them.

How does someone become a squatter?

Some of the scenarios in which a person becomes a squatter include: a tenant refusing to pay rent, a relative of a former owner refusing to leave the property or even a stranger who entered the property and never left.

According to Manhattan-based law firm Nadel & Ciarlo, squatters must have a reasonable basis for claiming the property belongs to them and must treat the home as if they were an owner — such as doing yard work or making repairs.

How can a property owner get rid of a squatter?

A property owner must first send a 10-day eviction notice and then file a court complaint if the order is ignored. If approved by a judge, the owner can get a summons and have a sheriff evict the squatter.

Why does the law provide squatters with rights?

The law was designed to help prevent long-term tenants from getting evicted. New York City’s law was partially made in response to vacant and abandoned buildings that were becoming a blight on the city.

How can property owners protect themselves from squatters?

Owners should avoid keeping any properties vacant for an extended period of time. They should also make sure the building is secure, has adequate lighting and has surveillance cameras installed.

If a squatter does appear, owners should notify the police quickly before squatter’s rights are established.

The woman also noted that a “For Sale” sign had been on the property for “a long time” before one person “came out of nowhere” and began living in the home.

Residents of tight-knit Queens Street, which many have called home for over 30 years, expressed that they’re ready to do as much as possible to get the alleged intruders out. Some have even floated the idea of starting a petition in hopes that it will help, according to the Daily Mail.

Andaloro had been living in the home with her daughter and mother until her mom’s death a few years ago.

A beloved community member, Andaloro put the two-story home on the market, but that’s when the tenants got in and brazenly replaced the entire front door and locks.

Before her arrest on Feb. 29 — which was captured by ABC’s “Eyewitness News” — Andaloro faced off with the group in a tense standoff.

The police were eventually called and escorted two people off the property.

With at least three apparent residents still inside, cops told Andaloro she had to sort the saga out in housing court because it was considered a “landlord-tenant issue” before she was arrested.

The home’s owner was charged with unlawful eviction because she had changed the locks and had not provided a new key to the person staying there.

In New York City, a person can claim “squatter’s rights” after just 30 days of living at a property.

Under the law, it is illegal for the homeowner to change the locks, turn off the utilities, or remove the belongings of the “tenants” from the property.

“By the time someone does their investigation, their work, and their job, it will be over 30 days, and this man will still be in my home,” Andaloro said.

“I’m really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home.”

Neighborhoods in NYC overwhelmed by illegal immigrants Now Look 3rd World
[LawEnforcementToday] As a NYC Resident stated. "Like most like-minded residents, we see this as a third-world market. Basically, you just see clothes thrown across the floor... the items are stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores, and they just set up shop outside brick-and-mortar businesses. They take away trade from these businesses and don’t pay taxes".... plus open very visual daytime prostitution...
ADD TO THE ILLEGAL Crime Issues. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has initiated a task force to combat the increasing incidence of Latin American gangs targeting upscale residences in Southern California.

The question remains, Who is Biden Regime allied with? Because it certainly not the US Citizens, the US Constitution nor the Bill of Rights.

Catalina Cruz currently holds the Assembly District 39 seat in the area, and area resident Ramses Frias, who is formerly a Democrat, is running for it; and he is running as a Republican.
A critical point about changing party alignment we can expect to see in November.
Cruz has “sponsored legislation to decriminalize prostitution” and has joined Representative Ocasio-Cortez in calling for more vendor permits to be issued to the illegal migrants.

Frias is ready for change and believes that a Republican approach is needed.

With a mother that emigrated from Haiti and a father from the Dominican Republic, Frias is pro-immigrant.

Found a probable cause of cravings for sweets after eating
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Scientists from the University of California at Los Angeles have identified a possible reason for the desire to eat even after satiety. As it became known on March 20, activation of special cells vgat PAG of the periaqueductal gray matter in the integument of the midbrain stimulates the body to search for food even if it is already full. The results of the study were published by Nature Communications (Nat Com).

During experiments on laboratory mice, it turned out that the search for additional food upon reaching satiety is due to the activity of vgat PAG, which increases in fear and anxiety. Artificial stimulation of these cells confirmed that the conclusions were correct: when exposed to light, the cells became active and caused anxiety in well-fed rodents, which is why they began to actively monitor moving objects and rush in pursuit of live crickets.

It turned out that humans have a similar mechanism. Their vgat PAG cells are located in the brain stem. According to researchers, their activation or constant hyperactivity can lead to the abuse of fatty and sweet foods even when the body is full.

As Regnum reported, in November 2023, scientists from the University of Sydney found that a lack of protein in a person’s diet can lead to excess weight gain. Its unbalanced intake into the body is one of the main causes of obesity in the world. When consuming high-carbohydrate, high-fat foods, a person may still feel hungry due to lack of protein, and diluting it in a diet high in fat and carbohydrates, resulting in increased energy consumption, is called “protein leverage.”

Former US Navy vice admiral says aliens are visiting Earth
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Representatives of alien civilizations have visited and are visiting Earth. Former US Navy Vice Admiral Tim Gallaudet
…are rear admirals generally PhD oceanographers?
made the announcement on March 20 on Christian Harloff's podcast on his YouTube channel.

As Gallaudet explained, he personally became convinced of the reality of visits to our planet by representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations after watching a video recorded in 2015 by US Navy pilots. The video is known as Go Fast, and Gallaudet said he was familiar with its content long before it was widely distributed.

“I saw the Go Fast video before it was published. I received it through secret channels and made sure that we were not alone,” said the former vice admiral.

In addition, according to Gallaudet, he personally knows people from the Department of Defense and the intelligence service who took part in the study of UFO sightings. The officer noted that the Pentagon, in a report from the All Anomalies Research Office (AARO), denies the possible presence of alien creatures on Earth. At the same time, as Gallaudet assures, work on studying UFOs is being carried out in conditions of strict secrecy.

"We are working behind the scenes to facilitate the controlled release of UFO data," the retired vice admiral explained.

Gallaudet added that part of the work on studying alien civilizations should be hidden from the general public, but people, according to the officer, should know that aliens visited Earth.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the American billionaire, founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, admitted that humanity is the only species of life with consciousness in our part of the Milky Way.

As the billionaire explained, if people care about life, they must become “interstellar.”

In May 2023, Stanford University professor Harry Nolan said at a thematic conference in New York that aliens have already visited Earth, and some are still among humans. He also stated that he attended hearings on extraterrestrial life in the US Congress.

In the summer of 2023, the US Congress held hearings for the first time on the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and contacts with them. Former American intelligence officer David Grash said that he personally communicated with officials who knew about flying objects of “non-human” origin. Grash noted that Washington has been aware of the existence of extraterrestrial activity since the 1930s.

Imagine the impact on Earths Religions?

Likely we'll quickly see the founding of a
New "MEGA-Church of the Extraterrestrials". All with, a suspiciously quickly obtained New bible provided, as translated by the Government Officials in contact with them (The Chosen ☺).

But all joking, snide remarks and suspicions aside. Over 2/3's of the Universe is billions of years older than Earth and has billions of of Earth like planets that could have civilizations 100's millions years older than our Earth. So the odds of extra terrestrial far more intelligent live does exist.

Let's hope we don't get visited by a Far Left, Pronoun, ?Sexual, Progressive Race. Or a race with Book called "How to Prepare man"

Either way, I'll stick with my Bible & Judaeo-Christianity practices.

Fermi paradox

"The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now."
