Radioactive equipment disappears in southern New Mexico

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission radioactive equipment disappeared in southern New Mexico, according to Mexico's federal government.

The missing equipment is described as a container with Iridium-192, which is used for medical treatments and also in the oil industry, according to the commission.

Mexican officials said contact with the equipment was lost between Carlsbad and Jal, New Mexico.

Mexico issued an alert for its states of Sonora and Chihuahua, even though officials said it's unlikely the equipment will cross the border into Mexico.

The Atomic Energy Agency considers this a category 2 risk if there is exposure or direct contact with the material inside the equipment.

Six children under the age of 10 are rescued from the clutches of an 'extensive' paedophile ring

A pedophile ring was found in Queensland

Officers saved six children under the age of 10

Seven predators were arrested and charged

Six vulnerable children have been saved from a vile paedophile ring after police executed six search warrants following a lengthy and 'complex investigation'.

Queensland Police dismantled the extensive network which ran from central Queensland to the southern states after an investigation was launched in November, 2022.

Kids under the age of 10 were rescued from the group and seven alleged child predators were charged with 44 child sex offences.

Police issued six warrants in several jurisdictions in an operation codenamed Amigua to gather evidence before making the arrests.

The operation included officers from interstate Detective Inspector John Mison said in a statement.

'An organised network of child sexual abusers has been dismantled through a series of complex investigative strategies which has resulted in six children being rescued,' he said.

'This extensive investigation relied on assistance from other investigative units within Queensland and throughout the country, with the network stretching from Central Queensland to the southern states.

'We will continue to work on identifying these types of networks, rescuing children at risk of this offending and taking action against criminals involved in committing these types of heinous offences.'

Among those arrested was a 27-year-old man from Aspley who was charged with 17 offences, including grooming a parent or carer of a child, indecent treatment of a child, supplying dangerous drugs, and possessing child exploitation material among others.

A 44-year-old woman from Hendra was also charged with multiple drug offences.

Another 26-year-old North Lakes woman and 29-year-old Jubilee Pocket woman were each charged with indecent treatment of a child and being involved in making and distributing child exploitation material.

They are set to appear in court in the coming days.

Senior GOP Lawmakers Ask Office of Special Counsel to Investigate Allegations of Retaliation Against IRS Whistleblowers

Senior GOP lawmakers on Wednesday asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate all allegations of retaliation against the IRS whistleblowers.

Senator Chuck Grassley, Senator Ron Johnson, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith sent a letter to Special Counsel Henry Kerner requesting an investigation.

As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported: A letter sent in May to Republican and Democrat members of House and Senate committees by attorneys representing the IRS whistleblower in the Hunter Biden investigation states that the whistleblower and his team of investigators have been removed from the investigation at the request of the Justice Department.

The Feds mishandled the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, according to an IRS supervisor who sought whistleblower protection earlier this year.

An IRS whistleblower said Hunter Biden received “preferential treatment.”

US Attorney General Merrick Garland is also in on the scandal.

The Biden Regime retaliated against the IRS whistleblower and knifed the entire team that was investigating Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden was eventually given a sweetheart deal by federal prosecutors: two misdemeanors related to tax crimes.

Senior GOP lawmakers asked Special Counsel Henry Kerner to investigate the allegations of unlawful whistleblower retaliation.

More Than 105 Million Working Age Americans Do Not Have A Job Right Now

Our long slide toward economic oblivion continues, and survey after survey has shown that most Americans are deeply unsatisfied with the current state of the U.S. economy. Inflation is out of control, most Americans are getting poorer due to the rapidly rising cost of living, the housing bubble has started to burst, and the commercial real estate market is a giant mess. But employment is supposed to be our bright spot. The Biden administration continues to tell us that the unemployment rate is less than 4 percent and that there are lot of jobs available for those that want them. But is this really true?

To answer that question, it is imperative to understand that our government places unemployed persons into one of two categories…

Jobless people are classified into one of two categories by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)—either unemployed or not in the labor force. To be classified as unemployed in the month they are surveyed, people must be actively looking for work. If they are not actively looking, they are classified as not in the labor force.

Over time, the definition of “officially unemployed” has gotten more restrictive, and today only 6.097 million working age Americans are considered to be in that category.

Meanwhile, a staggering 99.800 million working age Americans are considered to be “not in the labor force”.

When you add both categories together, you get a total of 105.897 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now.

Let me try to put that into perspective.

During the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009, that number never even got up to 90 million.

So that means that the number of working age Americans that are not employed at this moment far surpasses anything that we witnessed during the Great Recession.

Please do not believe the garbage that the federal government is trying to sell you.

Unemployment is not low. In fact, John Williams estimates that the real rate of unemployment in this country is somewhere around 25 percent.

If you are out of work at this moment, please realize that you are not alone.

In April, 37-year-old North Carolina resident Al Brown lost his job, and now his family is really struggling…

Al Brown and his fiancée faced a tough call in May when reviewing their weekly budget: What’s a higher priority, more food or dish soap?

Based in Concord, North Carolina, Brown was the main breadwinner for his fiancée and their two children. Then in April, he was let go from his job as a global director of business development at software company Cascade.

He’s since quit his gym membership and sold miscellaneous items around his home, including a computer and yard furniture, to make ends meet. His 13-year-old son quit the basketball team. While losing the family’s source of income has taken a financial toll, it’s also resulted in a mental one.
