Plane Crashes Near General Mills Food Plant Amid Outbreak Of Fires In Food Processing Facilities Across The Nation

A small plane killed two people as it crashed miles away from a General Mills plant in Georgia on Thursday night, exploding on impact and nearly demolishing the cereal manufacturer’s facility.

“Obviously this was a devastating crash and there are no survivors,” Covington police Capt. Ken Malcolm told reporters following the collision. “We are working on a lead to determine who the victims were in the crash.”

“According to witnesses, they believe the plane was having trouble gaining altitude. They could hear that there was engine trouble,” he continued. “Suddenly the plane veered to the right and immediately came straight down and crashed into the lot behind us. This is the General Mills plant that produces cereal here in our area. The plane went down in an isolated area here on the lot behind us in an area where they store tractor-trailers. The plane came down into four, what appear to be empty, trailers.”

“The fact that it didn’t crash into the plant, saved many lives,” Malcolm added. “Our job is to contain the scene, turn over the scene to the [Federal Aviation Administration].”

General Mills issued a statement following the incident, assuring, “No employees were harmed and we’re partnering with the FAA and local law enforcement.”

According to law enforcement officials, the aircraft, a Cessna twin-engine plane, crashed approximately 35 miles east of Atlanta in an isolated parking lot near an industrial plant off Interstate 20, nearly demolishing the General Mills plant.

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy Released Statement Saying NYT Authors Misquoted Him on Pushing Trump from Office — THEN THEY RELEASED THE AUDIO

On Thursday The New York Times investigative reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns released passages from their latest book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.”

In the book the two claimed that GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy told Liz Cheney on a January 10, 2021 call that he would counsel Trump to resign before the end of his term.

When the claims within the book broke early in the news, McCarthy’s spokesman Mark Bednar refuted them saying, “McCarthy never said he’d call Trump to say he should resign.”

McCarthy himself called the claims about his conversations “totally false” when The New York Times reported on them earlier in the day.

Kevin McCarthy released a statement on Twitter following the NY Times report. He insisted the claims were false.

Then this happened…

Rachel Maddow leaked the private phone call on her show on Thursday night of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy with Trump-hating lunatic Liz Cheney on January 10, 2021.

During the call, McCarthy told Liz Cheney that he would counsel President Trump Trump to resign. This is exactly what the book reported. Liz Cheney released the call to the authors. And now Kevin McCarthy was caught in a lie.

From the call:

Kevin McCarthy: “I think [impeachment resolutions] will pass, and it would be my recommendation you (President Trump) should resign… What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it.”

McCarthy also indicated that he believed Twitter and Facebook should delete the accounts of lawmakers who were supporting Trump’s claim of a rigged election. “We can’t put up with that,” he said. “Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away, too?”

So McCarthy told his colleagues he was going to ask President Trump to step down. He talked about how Twitter should regulate conservative voices. And now he is caught lying about the entire conversation that was recorded and released by Liz Cheney loyalists.

Keven McCarthy can never be trusted. He needs to step down from leadership immediately. It’s time for some principled Republican leadership to take on the Marxist horde overthrowing the country.

Obama and Hillary Push for Government Censorship Claiming This Will “Bolster World Democracy”

Barack Obama and Hillary are pushing for government censorship. To hell with individual rights and the Constitution.

In a speech at Stanford, Obama called for more government oversight over the Big Tech industry that is already trampling all over Americans’ rights to free speech. Obama was a big part of this censorship. The New York Times reported:

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday called for greater regulatory oversight of the country’s social media giants, saying their power to curate the information that people consume has “turbocharged” political polarization and threatened the pillars of democracy across the globe.

Weighing in on the debate over how to address the spread of disinformation, he said the companies needed to subject their proprietary algorithms to the same kind of regulatory oversight that ensured the safety of cars, food and other consumer products.

He then went on to use a lie to make his point:

Mr. Obama spoke at a conference organized by Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, which is dedicated to the challenges the digital world has created for democracy in the United States and beyond. He cited his own effective use of social media as a candidate but also his frustration with how Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, used social media to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

After the 2016 Election, Big Tech totally censored conservative opinions. Project Veritas confirmed Facebook’s bias and actions. Most Americans hate the communist policies and attitudes that Obama portrays and that Big Tech uses against Americans.

Hillary also is calling for government censorship. This time she calls out Europe to get the government involved to “bolster global democracy”. This proves Hillary is not so smart and totally corrupt.

Most Americans know Hillary and Obama are corrupt. They don’t care what they say. Also, most Americans want free speech, not more censorship.

“We’ve Done a Hell of a Job,” It’s Just “Hard For People” to Understand – Biden to Democrat Elitists at Portland Yacht Club Fundraiser

Joe Biden attended a ritzy fundraiser and rubbed elbows with DC elites Thursday evening after incoherently babbling in Portland.

Biden attended a fundraiser at the Portland Yacht Club hosted by Win McCormack, the owner of the Communist rag, “The New Republic.”

Biden said Democrats have done such a great job that it’s just hard for people to understand how well things are going.

“What I’m worried about now is that we’ve done one hell of a job, but the fact is things have moved so rapidly, so profoundly, it’s hard for people to understand…let me just give you a few statistics…” Biden said to a group of out-of-touch elitists.

The statistics are just too confusing.

Inflation rates are at a 40-year high

Gas prices are at record highs

Covid vaccine mandates

Endless mask mandates for airplanes

Millions of illegals flooding over the US border

Russia-Ukraine conflict

13 dead US service members in Afghanistan

According to Biden, that’s one hell of a job.

UK Embassy In Kiev To Reopen Next Week, But Johnson Warns Russian Victory A "Realistic Possibility"

The UK has announced Friday that it plans to reopen its embassy in Kiev next week, according to a fresh statement from Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson made the announcement from India, saying, "The extraordinary fortitude and success of President Zelenskiy in resisting Russian forces in Kyiv means I can announce that very shortly, next week, we will reopen our embassy in Ukraine’s capital city."

"I want to pay tribute to those British diplomats who remained in the region throughout this period," he added during the press conference. The announcement comes after a string of European countries have re-opened their diplomatic missions in the Ukrainian capital.

The UK embassy had shuttered quickly within the opening days of Russia's Feb.24 invasion, and has been closed since, also as most other countries were forced to close their embassies and consulates, including the United States, amid bombardment of various parts of Ukraine.

Johnson during the New Delhi comments acknowledged that a Russian military victory in Ukraine remains a "realistic possibility" given that the defined scope of Russia's operations have changed to focusing on taking the Donbas: "Yes, I mean, look, I think the sad thing is that that is a realistic possibility," the prime minister said.

He added:

Putin has a huge army. [But] he has a very difficult political position because he’s made a catastrophic blunder.

The only option he now has really is to continue to try to use his his appalling, grinding approach – led by artillery – trying to grind the Ukrainians down. And he’s very close to securing a land bridge in Mariupol.

Johnson still described the battlefield situation as "unpredictable" at this point:

But what we’ve also seen is the incredible heroism of the Ukrainians and their willingness to fight.

And I’ll tell you something: I think, no matter what military superiority Vladimir Putin may be able to bring to bear in the next few months – and I agree it could be it could be a long period, he will not be able to conquer the spirit of the Ukrainian people.

Turkey Says Some NATO Members Want Prolonged Ukraine War In Order To Weaken Russia

In an interview on Wednesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said some NATO member states want the war in Ukraine to last longer as a way to hurt Russia.

“There are countries within NATO who want the war to continue,” Cavusoglu told CNN Turk. “They want Russia to become weaker.”

According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, Cavusoglu did not think the war would last long after Russia and Ukraine held peace talks in Istanbul last month. But following a NATO foreign ministers meeting, he was given the impression that some alliance members don’t want the war to end.

Since Russia invaded on February 24, the US and many of its NATO allies have abandoned diplomacy with Russia. Instead of seeking a diplomatic solution, the Western powers are pouring weapons into Ukraine and waging an economic sanctions campaign against Russia.

The view among some NATO members on the war was summarized by a recent report from The Washington Post. The report said: “For some in NATO, it’s better for the Ukrainians to keep fighting, and dying, than to achieve a peace that comes too early or at too high a cost to Kyiv and the rest of Europe.”

Florida sheriff says homeowners are 'more than welcome to shoot at' crooks who break into their homes: 'We prefer that you do, actually'

A Florida sheriff said in no uncertain terms that homeowners in his county are "more than welcome to shoot at" all those who break into their houses.

"We prefer that you do, actually," Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said at a Thursday press conference.

What are the details?

Johnson had been briefing the media on the arrest Wednesday of Brandon J. Harris — a "frequent flyer" crook with long rap sheet. Johnson said his outfit's first "interaction" with him took place when Harris was just 13 years old.

Johnson said authorities got multiple calls after 4:30 p.m. about a suspicious person in a Pace neighborhood, and the sheriff said Harris broke into several residences.

About 40 minutes later, Johnson said Harris broke into a home — but the homeowner fired a gun at Harris multiple times without hitting him, and Harris remained on the loose.

Johnson said Harris broke into yet another home, and authorities captured him when Harris jumped through a window's glass after he was cornered in a bedroom.

At the time of his arrest, Harris was wanted on two felony warrants and one misdemeanor warrant, the sheriff said. For this latest run-in with the law, Harris was charged with felony attempted burglary with assault, two counts of felony burglary to an occupied dwelling, felony burglary to an unoccupied dwelling, resisting arrest without violence, criminal mischief, and attempted larceny. His bond was set at $157, 500.

Open season declared

"We don't know which homeowner shot at [Harris]. I guess they think that they did something wrong, which they did not,” Johnson said. “If somebody is breaking into your house, you’re more than welcome to shoot at them in Santa Rosa County. We prefer that you do, actually.”

Johnson added, "Whoever that was, you're not in trouble. Come see us. We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday, and if you take that, you’ll shoot a lot better and hopefully save the taxpayers money.”

He also noted that "if somebody's breaking into your house, you've got all the right in the world to defend yourself. Of course [Harris] didn't get hit, and now we've gotta pay for him."

Anything else?

Johnson said Harris chased a woman into her house during Wednesday's incident, but fortunately the woman — who had kids inside the home — locked the door just before Harris got to it and began pulling on it.

Johnson said Harris has been arrested 17 times, the Miami Herald reported.

House Republicans Tell Twitter’s Board to Preserve All Records About Musk’s Bid to Buy Company

All Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee on April 22 ordered Twitter board members to preserve all records regarding Elon Musk’s effort to buy the technology company.

“As Congress continues to examine Big Tech and how to best protect Americans’ free speech rights, this letter serves as a formal request that you preserve all records and materials relating to Musk’s offer to purchase Twitter, including Twitter’s consideration and response to this offer, and Twitter’s evaluation of its shareholder interests with respect to Musk’s offer,” Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and the other Republicans told board members in the letters.

“You should construe this preservation notice as an instruction to take all reasonable steps to prevent the destruction or alteration, whether intentionally or negligently, of all documents, communications, and other information, including electronic information and metadata, that is or may be potentially responsive to this congressional inquiry,” they added.

Republicans are in the minority in the current term but hope to flip the chamber in the upcoming midterm elections.

If they do, they can subpoena documents and otherwise probe Twitter board deliberations.

The lawmakers expressed concern over what they described as an attack by Twitter and other large tech platforms against free speech, alleging that Big Tech’s “eroding commitment to free speech prevents informed public discourse and undermines First Amendment principles.”

Los Angeles County Ignores Court Order, Forcing Masks on Public Transit

Officials in Los Angeles County are the latest who have made it clear that they are not prepared let mask mandates become a thing of the past, enacting a public health order forcing people to wear masks on public transit and transportation hubs.

United States District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump-appointee, this week nixed the Biden administration’s federal mask mandate, deeming it illegal. She found that the mandate “exceeded the CDC statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking, and failed to adequately explain its decisions.”

“Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in the pursuit of desirable ends, the court declares unlawful and vacates the mask mandate,” she wrote.

However, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has made it clear that it is not giving up, giving Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) the greenlight to appeal the ruling, which ended forced masking.

“It is CDC’s continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health,” the federal agency said in a statement.

As a result, Los Angeles County officials are heeding to the CDC, requiring individuals to wear masks on “all forms of public transportation in LA County,” including buses, trains, and taxis. This rule also extends to all indoor transportation hubs in LA County, “including airport and bus terminals, train and subway stations, seaports or other indoor port terminals, or any other indoor area that serves as a transportation hub.”

Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer is attributing the decision to the CDC, simply stating that “they are experts.” The statement is reminiscent of White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s retort to Fox News’s Peter Doocy this week, essentially suggesting that one must be a doctor to understand the discrepancies of inconsistent mask rules.

“They made a determination that at this point having that requirement in place is necessary for the public’s health, and that resonates with us,” Ferrer said.

Los Angeles County officials are not the only individuals heeding to the CDC, as the Port Authority is continuing to enforce mask rules at New York airports, and Chicago’s O’Hare has also suggested it will continue to enforce forced masking.

However, it remains unclear just how these entities are enforcing these rules, as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is not enforcing the Biden administration’s mask rule at this time.

UK University Puts Up Poster Warning Women Not to ‘Challenge’ Transgenders In Bathroom

England’s Plymouth University has been accused of “gaslighting” female students with a poster warning them not to “challenge” transgender individuals using the “wrong” bathroom.

The poster was highlighted by a social media user who shared an image of it on Twitter.

“Hey Twitter peeps thought I’d let you know that [Plymouth University] don’t seem to care for their female students as shown by this sign that’s meant to gaslight women into silence,” said the user.

“If you know a woman planning on attending this Uni make sure she knows they have given away her rights,” they added.

The poster, emblazoned with the colours of the transgender flag, warns women: “Do you think someone is using the ‘wrong’ bathroom? PLEASE DON’T: challenge them, stare at them, insult them. INSTEAD, PLEASE: respect their privacy, respect their identity, carry on with your day.

“They are using the toilets they feel safe in. Do not make them feel uncomfortable, instead protect them from harm. Trans, non-binary and gender-questioning students: you have every right to be here.”

Media Matters takes credit for getting Project Veritas banned from Twitter

"Thank you," Suen says, "we have people doing it, it's just hard. Actually, you know, they're not on Twitter anymore. So we have had some victories. And finally got some of their horrible videos off."

Project Veritas went undercover to expose Media Matters' Director of External Affairs actually taking credit for getting Veritas banned from Twitter. In an undercover video, a Project Veritas journalist tells Brennan Suen "You gotta like, hammer these f*cking Project Veritas people," leading him on further, saying "We gotta hammer them."

"Thank you," Suen says, "we have people doing it, it's just hard. Actually, you know, they're not on Twitter anymore. So we have had some victories. And finally got some of their horrible videos off."

"They're not on Twitter anymore?" the Veritas journalist asks incredulously.

"Nope," Suen replies. "They're blocked. Thanks to the work we've been doing. But I do appreciate that."

Suen said that, despite Media Matters' efforts to get Project Veritas banned, Veritas still has ways to get their content distributed, something called distribution by proxy. This is where others share Veritas' content despite the bans.

"But it's not nearly the same engagement," Suen said. He went on to say that Media Matters "monitors them and exposes them and we try to make sure people know what's going on."

"Hopefully people are educated and don't fall for their tricks," Suen said, while falling directly for one of those "tricks."

Suen suggested that the journalist "Google 'Project Veritas Media Matters' and I think you'll see some of our content about it."

"And if it's not public, you know, we do a lot of stuff with partner orgs too, to raise awareness, so it's not always like content on our website," Suen said.

Media Matters claims that Project Veritas is a "Far-right political organization that secretly records and falsifies conversations with governmental and political organizations to manufacture conservative-leaning narratives."

"Founded by far-right political activist James O’Keefe, Project Veritas has a history of recording governmental and political employees, then editing their comments to distort their intent," they say.

Project Veritas was spied on by the Department of Justice. Documents show the DOJ "compelled Apple and Google not to disclose that they were providing the individual’s private data to the government," Veritas reported. Veritas announced they they would file a motion that outlines how the DOJ's actions violated the Privacy Protection Act and the Fourth Amendment, in addition to the First Amendment and Common Law Reporter’s Privilege.

Media Matters has reported that "Project Veritas almost always directly lies to its targets while trying to obtain information, a line not often crossed by journalists today. In the past, the group’s operatives have pretended to go on dates with the victims of its sting operations and have posed as victims of assault in order to get footage."

In Suen's case, all it took was for a Project Veritas journalist to praise Media Matters for Suen to take credit for getting the media outlet banned from Twitter.

Israelis chant “Death to the Arabs” in Jerusalem

Hundreds of Israeli Jewish nationalists marched through Jerusalem on Wednesday chanting anti-Palestinian slogans as Israeli police tried to block their route to the Damascus Gate.

The event appeared to be part of the yearly “March of the Flags” organized by Israeli Jewish supremacists to celebrate Israel’s occupation and colonization of East Jerusalem.

The march is traditionally held on “Jerusalem Day,” an Israeli-invented holiday to mark the start of the 1967 occupation, which falls in late May this year, so it is unclear why the march went ahead on Wednesday.

It took place despite a lack of approval from Israeli police and warnings from Palestinian resistance groups that they would respond to the continued assault on Palestinians and Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem.

Later on Wednesday evening, a rocket fired from Gaza landed in an open area near Sderot, an Israeli settlement near the besieged territory.

Israel then carried out air raids in Gaza early Thursday, which were followed by another rocket and gunfire from Gaza. Israel’s emergency medical service said that several people suffered “panic attacks” or were “lightly injured” while running to shelters, according to Tel Aviv daily Haaretz.

Israel, claiming to have hit a facility used to manufacture rocket motors, called its attack on Gaza “the most significant” since last May, when its 11-day bombardment of the territory left 250 Palestinians, including almost 70 children, dead.

Video showed massive explosions lighting up the night sky in Gaza.

And while Bennett’s government may be trying to distance itself from the extremist mob, Yair Lapid, Israel’s supposedly moderate foreign minister, made a similarly provocative visit to the Damascus Gate earlier this month, further increasing tensions.

“Death to the Arabs”

The mob on Wednesday tried to force its way into the Old City’s Muslim Quarter despite Israeli police efforts to stop it:

In keeping with tradition at such marches, many in the mob which included children – chanted mavet la aravim – “Death to the Arabs.”

Videos from the march show the presence of flags of Lehava, a Jewish extremist group whose focus is preventing mixing of Jews and non-Jews.

Lehava and its ultra-radicalized youth are a regular presence at Israel’s “death to the Arabs” marches.

While there were some confrontations between Palestinians defending Damascus Gate and Israeli occupation forces, the tensions on Wednesday were concentrated between extremist settlers and Israeli police.

Notably – and in keeping with Israel’s apartheid policies – Israeli forces apparently refrained from using against Jews tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets, live fire, skunk water and other forms of extreme violence they routinely use to attack Palestinians.

Yet the effort by the Israeli state to halt the march was seen by some as a victory for Palestinian resistance. Last May, the intervention of Gaza-based Palestinian resistance groups in response to Israel’s violence against Palestinians in Jerusalem sent a clear message that the occupation forces do not have free rein in the city.

A similar planned march by Jewish nationalists in Jerusalem last year was one of the catalysts that ignited the full-scale confrontation between Israel and Palestinians across historic Palestine.

Originally scheduled for 10 May 2021, the march was postponed due to Palestinian resistance, which forced Israel into an embarrassing retreat.

Israel had to cancel the march.

10 Deaths in 10 Months: String of Suicides on a Single Aircraft Carrier

On the morning of April 11, Capt. Brent Gaut, the commander of the USS George Washington an aircraft carrier undergoing major shipyard work at Newport News, Virginia got on the ship's intercom.

Two sailors had died on April 9 and 10, and Gaut was alerting the crew that those deaths were the eighth and ninth suicides the ship had experienced in nine months, three sailors who heard the announcement told Military.com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation.

One explained that Gaut, talking to the crew first thing in the morning, went on to tell sailors to reach out and talk to someone if they needed help and that resources were available to them. That sailor described it as what "they say after they have a suicide every time."

Four days after the announcement, another sailor was "found unresponsive on board the ship," a Navy spokesperson confirmed to Military.com, and the sailor later died at a hospital in Newport News.

Two of the sailors who spoke with Military.com said that Gaut later told the crew that the latest death was a member of the ship's security team, who had a self-inflicted wound.

Suicides have risen sharply in the military. In 2020, 384 active-duty service members died by suicide, a 44% increase from 2015. Since 2014, 4,842 service members have killed themselves. In a recent hearing, congressional lawmakers said the military is not doing nearly enough to prevent these deaths. Despite the persistence of the problem, a cluster of suicides like Gaut described to his crew is still highly unusual.

Asked about the reports from members of the crew, a Navy spokesperson did not confirm or deny Gaut's remarks, instead outlining a total of seven deaths, four of which had not previously been disclosed by the service.

The fact that the carrier is in the shipyards and for far longer than originally planned has created a difficult environment, according to the sailors who spoke to Military.com.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier has been undergoing a refueling and complex overhaul at Newport News since 2017. The massive maintenance period, which typically lasts four years, is usually done halfway through a carrier's 50-year life to refuel the nuclear reactor and see to repairs and upgrades.

In 2019, the ship was scheduled to be done in 2021. By 2020, that had changed to 2022. Danny Hernandez, a spokesman for Newport News Shipbuilding, told Military.com in an email that "COVID-19 impacts and unplanned growth work resulted in delays to the schedule."

For sailors, the delays have meant continuing to labor under unpleasant and taxing conditions.

George Washington crew members who don't have a housing allowance or otherwise live off ship had to move back aboard last year despite the fact that the carrier is still being worked on, all three sailors noted.

"They live in a construction zone," one sailor said. "There's grinding, needle gunning, there's always problems with ventilation, there's always problems with hot water," they went on.

Two of the sailors recalled that, during the winter months, the lack of ventilation meant that the ship got so cold the epoxy-covered floor would crackle underfoot.

"That's why the shipyard sucks," one sailor said.

"It's not like one big glaring problem, it's just a bunch of small stuff that adds up and adds up and adds up, but it never goes away."

Lt. Cmdr. Robert Myers, a spokesman for the commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic, told Military.com that the Navy is "aware of four separate incidents that tragically resulted in the death of four service members assigned to the USS George Washington that occurred at off-base locations over the past 12 months."
