China Calls for Global AI Governance While Integrating AI into Nuclear Weapons Systems

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/hina-calls-global-ai-governance-while-integrating-ai/

On July 26, 2025, China announced its Action Plan for Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance. This initiative builds on Xi Jinping’s October 2023 Global AI Governance Initiative and presents itself as a responsible and benevolent effort to avoid global chaos. However, it reflects China’s broader ambition to shape global AI governance amidst rising technological competition.

At the 2024 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed that artificial intelligence should never be given the authority to launch nuclear war. However, typical of Biden’s weak foreign policy approach, the agreement was not a formal treaty. Meanwhile, China is actively integrating AI into its defense infrastructures, including its nuclear capabilities. Continue…

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/08/breaking-karol-nawrocki-right-wing-leader-assumes-presidency/

In a historically significant event for Poland, Karol Nawrocki, a historian and advocate for traditional values, has been inaugurated as president of the country in a ceremony that reinforces the commitment to national sovereignty, public security, and the defense of traditions.

With 50.89% of the votes in the second round of the presidential elections on June 1, 2025, Nawrocki assumed office on August 6, 2025, marking a decisive shift towards legitimate authority and institutional respect.

https://twitter.com/Inevitablewest/status/1953194835785203979

During his inaugural speech, Nawrocki reaffirmed his opposition to illegal immigration and Poland's accession to the eurozone, aligning with principles that prioritize social stability and order.

His victory, supported by the Law and Justice (PiS) party, represents a clear rejection of the impositions of European bureaucracy, which has attempted to erode Polish identity and values.

According to official data, his election has been interpreted as a strong message against globalist policies that threaten the traditional social fabric. Continue…

CDC Issues Level 2 Travel Health Notice for China Amid Chikungunya Outbreak — Are They Getting Ready for Round Two of Pandemic Panic?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/cdc-issues-level-2-travel-health-notice-china/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 2 travel health notice warning U.S. citizens to take “enhanced precautions” when traveling to Guangdong Province, China, particularly Foshan, the epicenter of a rapidly spreading Chikungunya virus outbreak.

According to the CDC, the outbreak in Guangdong has already sickened more than 7,000 people since June.

Nancy Pelosi’s Recent Comments on ‘Trans Kids’ Show This is a Hill Democrats Are Willing to Die on (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/nancy-pelosis-recent-comments-trans-kids-show-this/

Nancy Pelosi was recently speaking to a reporter who asked her a question about trans issues and she doubled down in support, mentioning that she supports ‘gender affirming care’ for ‘trans kids.’

Of course, gender affirming care is not caring, nor does it affirm gender, but who’s keeping track of the lies at this point?

The amazing thing about this is that the 2024 election showed that a majority of the country rejects all of this. Studies after the election found that one of Trump’s most effective ads was one that focused on Kamala Harris’ support for this issue and Trump’s rejection of it.

Parents across the country are sick of the very idea of men in the same locker rooms as their daughters and wives, yet here is Pelosi making it clear that Democrats are still not letting go of this.

China's sweeping efforts to bolster its food security increasingly rely on agricultural partnerships in Hispanic America, where countries like Brazil and Argentina serve as strategic suppliers of key commodities.

China's Food Security Strategy: Historical Context and Recent Developments .

China's food sourcing, both abroad and domestically, reflects a broader strategy to insulate itself from geopolitical shocks—especially a potential conflict with the United States. In turn, Washington faces the challenge of securing its own agricultural systems while countering China's growing influence across the Western Hemisphere. Continue…

BREAKING: DOJ Offers $50 Million Reward for Information Leading to Arrest of Venezuela’s Dictator Maduro (Videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/breaking-doj-offers-50-million-reward-information-leading/

Since Nicolas Maduro succeeded Hugo Chavez as Venezuela’s Bolivarian dictator, his relationship with the US has been rocky to say the least.

This is driven by ideological differences with the socialist strongman, as well as allegations of drug trafficking, human rights abuses, and disputes over his (lack of) electoral legitimacy.

Maduro tries to position himself as a vocal critic of U.S. influence in Latin America, while the U.S. criticizes Maduro’s government for authoritarianism, accusing it of undermining democratic institutions, repressing dissent, and causing Venezuela’s economic collapse through his insane policies.

This has led to sanctions against Maduro and his allies, reflecting a broader strategy to pressure the regime toward democratic reforms. Continue…

JUST IN: Grand Jury Indicts Man Who Threw Cinderblocks at Border Patrol Officer During LA Riots – Faces Up to 20 Years in Prison

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/just-grand-jury-indicts-man-who-threw-cinderblocks/

A federal grand jury indicted a man who was caught on video throwing cinderblocks at Border Patrol agents in June during the Los Angeles riots.

Jacob Daniel Terrazas, 30 was charged with one count of assault on a federal employee by using a deadly and dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury.

“After repeatedly throwing pieces of cinderblock at law enforcement, officers detained Terrazas, who now faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted,” US Attorney Bill Essayli said.

“We will not stand by while our brave officers get hurt. If you’re thinking of injuring an officer or agent enforcing immigration law, think again. It’s not worth it,” he said. Continue…

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Investigation into a George Soros-Funded PAC for Illegally Funding Runaway Dems

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/new-texas-attorney-general-ken-paxton-launches-investigation/

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton may have uncovered one of the parties responsible for helping Texas Democrats flee the state on Sunday to stop mid-term redistricting.

On Thursday, Paxton issued a press release revealing that he is investigating the Texas Majority PAC (TMP), a George Soros-funded PAC, for illegally funding its activities.

How unsurprising to learn that the most notorious Democrat funder almost certainly has his fingerprints all over this stunt.

“I’ve just launched an investigation into a Soros-funded PAC for unlawfully funding runaway Democrats,” Paxton wrote on X. “If Texas lawmakers are bowing to the Soros Slush Fund rather than the will of the voters, Texans deserve to know.” Continue…

A federal appeals court on Friday overturned Judge James Boasberg’s order initiating contempt against the Trump Administration over Alien Enemies Act deportations.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 ruling concluded that “the government has satisfied the stringent requirements for a writ of mandamus. The Court therefore grants the government’s petition for mandamus and vacates the district court’s probable-cause order.”

Trentadue To Trump, Bondi: Release The OKC Tapes

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trentadue-trump-bondi-release-okc-tapes

During last night’s ZeroHedge panel on the Oklahoma City bombing, attorney Jesse Trentadue (whose brother Kenneth Trentadue was murdered by the FBI then covered up in the wake of the OKC bombing) had two requests for the Trump administration: “[release] the videotape of the bombing and unseal John Matthews’ deposition, because the Department of Justice has it sealed, and President Trump’s Department of Justice is fighting to keep it sealed.”

Trentadue filed a FOIA lawsuit in 2008 to get the surveillance tapes — which the FBI is on record acknowledging exist — but the bureau has told him “they can’t find it”.

“You would think if you had a videotape showing who committed this horrific crime, wouldn't that have been exhibit number one in McVeigh's criminal trial? The reason it wasn't because I believe that second person was an FBI operative who got out of that truck.”

Investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer, who hosted the ZH panel, responded: “Let’s make sure that those two messages are delivered to Pam Bondi.” Continue…

Tesla Shares Jump As Robotaxi Secures Texas Rideshare Permit

https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/tesla-robotaxi-secures-texas-rideshare-permit

Tesla shares rose in early New York trading after Tesla Robotaxi LLC secured a rideshare license in Texas for its robotaxi Model Y fleet under the state's new autonomous vehicle regulations, which take effect Sept. 1.

Tesla Robotaxi LLC is now registered as a transportation network company with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, joining the ranks of operators such as Lyft.

As previously reported by Reuters, the new law states that operators of robotaxis must obtain a permit from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles before deploying the autonomous vehicle without a human safety supervisor in the front passenger seat. It also gives the state government the authority to revoke the permits if these vehicles are a danger to the public. Continue…

Xi Tells Putin China Ready To Back Peace & Negotiations With US On Ukraine

Yesterday it was confirmed by both sides that Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Puitin would have their first face-to-face bilatal summit, just 'days' away - prompting a Friday phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's Putin.

Chinese state media specifically indicated the Xi call is in anticipation of the historic Trump-Putin meeting, which will be the first of the over three-year long Ukriane war.

During the call, Putin updated Xi on recent US-Russia communications and expressed Russia’s willingness to maintain close coordination with China, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV indicated - also as echoed in Russian media. Continue…

US Startup Scoops Up Bankrupt Northvolt's $5B European Gigafactory Assets

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-startup-scoops-bankrupt-northvolts-5b-european-gigafactory-assets

California-based Lyten has signed a binding agreement to acquire nearly all remaining assets of failed European battery firm Northvolt, including its Swedish and German gigafactories and all remaining intellectual property. In the deal, announced on Thursday, the company confirmed it would take over Northvolt Ett, Northvolt Labs, and Northvolt Drei, including projects developed with more than $5 billion in capital investment.

According to Energy-Storage.news, the assets include 16GWh of operational lithium-ion capacity at Ett, with an additional 15GWh still under construction at Drei. Lyten plans to immediately restart production at Ett and the adjacent R&D complex, while continuing construction in Germany. Several Northvolt executives are expected to join Lyten as part of the transition, the Financial Times reported.

Northvolt, once the EU’s flagship battery champion, filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. in late 2024 and in Sweden this March. Its collapse followed escalating delivery delays, cost overruns, and financing shortfalls. At its peak, the company had raised more than $10 billion and was considered central to Europe’s energy storage ambitions, according to Reuters.

This latest deal follows Lyten’s earlier acquisition of Northvolt’s Polish energy storage division, Northvolt Dwa, as well as the California-based lithium-metal battery firm Cuberg. The company now controls nearly all of Northvolt’s former assets. Per Energy-Storage.news, Lyten’s chief business officer Keith Norman said lithium-ion deliveries from Dwa will begin in Q4, with plans to later integrate lithium-sulfur chemistry based on demand.

Lyten is also in talks with Canadian officials to acquire Northvolt Six, a Quebec-based facility with integrated cell, cathode, and recycling lines. A $200 million funding round completed in July will help finance the acquisition, restart manufacturing, and support the company’s lithium-sulfur transition roadmap.

Italy Rediscovers National Identity In Fight With EU Court

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/italy-rediscovers-national-identity-fight-eu-court

In my forthcoming book, Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, I discuss the threat posed by transnational governance, particularly with regard to the European Union. Now, Italy appears to be rediscovering its national identity in a growing fight with the Strasbourg-based European Court of Justice (ECJ). The court just blocked Italy from enforcing its own immigration laws to combat the flood of undocumented persons in the country.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called the ruling an attack on national sovereignty.

The case was brought by two Bangladeshi illegal migrants who were being removed from the country and sent to an asylum processing centre in Albania.

The EU member states can only determine safe countries for the return of migrants if they provide evidence and allow for judicial review. It found that the relocations by Italy “do not offer sufficient protection to their entire population.”

Former International Criminal Court magistrate Cuno Tarfusser observed that, under the decision, undocumented persons would merely have to declare themselves as being LGBT or a persecuted religious minority, and their removal would easily be blocked.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said: Continue…

Iran Executes Man Accused Of Spying For Mossad Amid Surge In Hangings

Iran on Wednesday has executed a man accused of spying for Israel, state media has confirmed, after he was allegedly caught passing information to foreign intelligence related to Iran's nuclear program.

The executed man, Rouzbeh Vadi, had previously worked in one of the Islamic Republic's most "important and sensitive organizations" - where he gained secretive information to hand to Israel, the Iranian government claims.

State media says he "committed a wide range of crimes against the country’s internal and external security, which have caused severe disruption to public order." Continue…

Peter Thiel-Backed Startup Aims To Revolutionize American Uranium Production

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/peter-thiel-backed-startup-aims-revolutionize-american-uranium-production

Critical minerals startup General Matter announced ambitious plans this week to construct a $1.5 billion uranium enrichment facility at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in McCracken County, Kentucky, as the Trump administration seeks to reduce reliance on rare earths from China.

The groundbreaking project would be the first U.S.-owned, privately developed uranium enrichment facility and marks the largest economic development initiative in Western Kentucky's history. General Matter will develop the 100-acre uranium enrichment facility on the same site originally selected 75 years ago by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for uranium enrichment activities. The facility will produce both low enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay low enriched uranium (HALEU), materials essential for powering advanced nuclear reactors, while the company has already secured DOE contracts for both LEU and HALEU production.

Canada’s immigration DISASTER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxJbc6iYeBw

In the second episode of ‘Not “Sorry,” host Alexander Brown discusses the broken immigration system with Conservative MP and Immigration Critic Michelle Rempel Garner. How did the Liberals destroy the system and what need to change to fix the mess?

Only one issue sits upstream from years of torn down statues and lowered flags, soaring unemployment, a generational housing crisis, the near-collapse of “universal” healthcare, and much of the hatred we now see in our streets: the Liberal Party’s decision to break and cheapen an immigration system once the envy of the Developed World.

If concerned Canadians stand any chance of returning to the successes of previous eras, now is the moment for a united front to force the Liberals to take action.

Without urgent fixes to immigration, there might be little left of Canada to save.

Canada's fentanyl flop, full of empty promises while deaths mount

https://www.rebelnews.com/canada_s_fentanyl_flop_full_of_empty_promises_while_deaths_mount

The fentanyl crisis claims an average of 20 Canadian lives daily, driven by cartel-fueled trafficking of highly addictive drugs through porous borders and established organized crime networks.

Every day, fentanyl claims roughly 20 Canadian lives, a relentless scourge fueled by cartels exploiting porous borders and a highly addictive drug supply.

Yet, our federal government continues to pour billions into grandiose plans that yield more bureaucracy than breakthroughs. The so-called "safer supply" initiative, meant to provide pharmaceutical alternatives to deadly opioids, is instead diverting potent synthetics onto the streets — straight into the hands of vulnerable youth — while healthcare workers buckle under the strain.

Adding insult to injury, international bodies like the UN argue that denying addicts these drugs infringes on their "human rights," framing addiction as a disability. What twisted logic prioritizes enablement over recovery and reintegration? Continue…

EU Commission admits deleting secret COVID contract texts to Pfizer CEO

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/eu-commission-admits-deleting-secret-covid-contract-texts-to-pfizer-ceo/

The EU Commission confirmed messages in 2020 to pharma giant Pfizer’s CEO were deleted after a multibillion-dollar COVID vaccine deal was agreed between the EU and Pfizer.

The European Commission has confirmed that hidden messages related to COVID shot contracts between commission leader Ursula von der Leyen and the CEO of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Albert Bourla have been deleted.

A document sent to the New York Times last week confirmed that the commission found the messages between Bourla and von der Leyen in 2021 but that they were “short-lived” and not considered to be worth archiving. The content of text messages was limited to organizing calls between the two individuals, the EU body claimed. The document also stated that von der Leyen’s phone has been replaced several times without data transfers since then.

The text messages in question were reportedly sent between Bourla and von der Leyen in 2020, ahead of the multibillion-dollar COVID vaccine deal between the EU and Pfizer.

In May, the EU Court of Justice ruled that the European Commission violated transparency rules by not releasing the private texts since it gave no “credible explanation” for why the messages did not contain important information. The New York Times, which first reported on the existence of the texts, sued the commission in 2023 after it rejected a Freedom of Information Act request asking for the messages to be released.

BC city denies permit for Christian pro-life singer Sean Feucht

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bc-city-denies-permit-for-christian-pro-life-singer-sean-feucht/

In a warning letter to Abbotsford officials, lawyers cited violations of 'fundamental freedoms' after the city claimed unmanageable safety risks without sharing details.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) has issued a warning letter to a British Columbia city for banning a Christian concert.

In an August 6 press release, the JCCF announced that it sent a letter to the city of Abbotsford, warning the city to reverse its decision to deny a permit for a Christian concert featuring Sean Feucht, an American pro-life Christian singer with links to the MAGA movement.

“Abbotsford officials denied a permit on the basis of safety concerns, details of which have not been shared with organizers,” JCCF explained.

The “Let Us Worship Revive in 25” event, scheduled for Sunday, August 24, was part of a national Christian tour featuring musician Sean Feucht. In recent weeks, several of his concerts across Canada have been shut down due to so-called “safety concerns.”

Interestingly, JCCF revealed that the details of the concerns have not been shared with organizers. Furthermore, after months of working with the city of Abbotsford and meeting its rules, organizers were suddenly told they needed “safety letters” from Abbotsford’s police and fire departments.

Winnipeg Police: “One of our senior officers is a psychopathic serial criminal who—while maybe high on coke and mushrooms—sold drugs, extorted people and took grotesque pictures with dead women in their underwear. But before we get to that, let’s do a dozen land acknowledgments.”

WEF’s Disturbing Vision: “Your Appliances & EV Will Be Remotely Controlled—For Your Own Good, Of Course”

https://breaking-news.ca/wefs-disturbing-vision-your-appliances-ev-will-be-remotely-controlled-for-your-own-good-of-course/

The World Economic Forum admitted what skeptics have warned about for years: The “smart grid” isn’t about efficiency—it’s about control.

In a chilling revelation, a WEF insider praised California’s emergency text blast that forced citizens to cut power usage, causing a “straight-line drop” in demand. Their takeaway? “This should be automated.”

What they’re really saying:

– Your smart devices, thermostats, & EVs WILL be hijacked during “emergencies.”

– “Demand management” = The state decides when you’re allowed to use energy.

– Bi-directional charging means your EV battery isn’t yours—it’s a grid resource they’ll drain without asking.

💡 The Spin: They call it “smoothing the demand curve.” The Reality? A technocratic power grab—where your property serves the system, not you.

“People already purchased the EV. It’s an investment.” Translation: Your car is now a public utility.

Bold prediction? No. A warning. The infrastructure for energy rationing is being built right now—under the guise of “sustainability.”

The future they want: A world where your compliance isn’t requested—it’s automated.

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt took part in a longtime summer tradition bringing together a border community in her province with one in the U.S. state of Maine, despite the ongoing trade war between the two countries.

The International Homecoming Festival is an annual event that includes several activities running simultaneously in St. Stephen, N.B., and Calais, Maine. It includes a street fair, concerts, children’s games, and a fireworks display.

It kicks off with a tradition that sees members from both border municipalities come together on the Ferry Point Bridge Crossing to shake hands and share flags. It’s an event that has been running since 1974.

Both Holt and Maine state Senator Marianne Moore participated in the opening event on Aug. 6.

Moore said it was the first time she had met a Canadian premier at the event.

Nova Scotia Faces Complaints, Opposition After Banning Going Into Woods Due to Wildfire Risk

Nova Scotia’s government is facing complaints and frustration in the face of new rules that ban residents from entering the province’s forests due to wildfire risk.

The ban, which was announced Aug. 5 by Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston, has led to a petition to end the ban from the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), along with thousands of frustrated and confused comments and questions on social media.

“Nature lovers should be free to responsibly enjoy our forests,” CCF litigation director Christine Van Geyn posted on X with a link to the organization’s petition on Aug. 7. “Nova Scotia must end the unreasonable, provincewide ban on entering the woods and replace it with targeted measures that respect our constitutional rights.”

According to Houston, implementing the ban and $25,000 fines for breaking it was necessary in order to prevent wildfires, particularly due to the “incredibly dry weather” the province has been experiencing.

According to Natural Resources Canada, Nova Scotia has experienced 96 wildfires so far this year, compared to 855 in Alberta and 630 in B.C.

“The fires we are seeing right now are burning deeper into the root system and going deep underground,” Nova Scotia’s Minister of Natural Resources Tory Rushton said at the Aug. 5 press conference. “Only a significant amount of rain will change these conditions for Nova Scotia.”

In addition to prohibiting hiking, fishing, offroad vehicles, and any camping outside designated areas, Nova Scotia has banned all work in the woods by foresters, miners, and other industries from being done without first obtaining an exemption permit. Continue…

Nearly 200 Kilos of Cocaine Seized at Canada-US Border Crossing: CBSA

Canada’s border authorities say they recently seized 197 kilograms of suspected cocaine at the Blue Water Bridge border crossing in Point Edward, Ont.

According to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the seizure of the large suspected drug shipment occurred July 23 during secondary inspection of a commercial truck entering from the United States.

During the search of the truck’s trailer, CBSA says it discovered seven large bags containing suspected cocaine having a street value estimated around $24.6 million. The CBSA arrested the suspect, 29-year-old Onkar Kalsi of Caledon, Ont., and turned him over to the RCMP, who charged Kalsi with importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. CBSA notes this investigation is ongoing. Continue…

What Does the 35 Percent US Tariff Apply to Exactly?

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/what-does-the-35-percent-us-tariff-apply-to-exactly-5898294?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-3

The United States raised its baseline tariff rate on Canada from 25 to 35 percent last week, but amid a variety of tariffs imposed in recent months, it can be difficult to track which goods are actually hit with an import tax when crossing the border.

The 10-percentage-point increase appears significant, but there is an important nuance to what products these tariffs apply to, given that many Canadian exports are compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and are thus not subject to the tariff.

However, some items that do not meet the USMCA criteria are thus subject to tariffs, including electronics assembled in Canada that use parts like circuit boards or screens imported from other countries. Many medical devices, which are manufactured in Canada but have parts imported from other countries, are tariffed. Some machinery parts, including farm equipment, are also being tariffed by the United States.

The exact products that are subject to 35 percent tariffs are difficult to determine, because the tariffs apply to specific products as opposed to entire categories. Continue…

Federal Regulator Predicts Decline in EV Sales Before 2026 Mandate

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/federal-regulator-predicts-decline-in-ev-sales-before-2026-mandate-5898647?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

Canada’s energy watchdog is forecasting a decrease in electric vehicle sales this year as Ottawa gears up to implement mandatory sales quotas for zero-emission vehicles in 2026.

Electric vehicle sales fell 23 percent in the first quarter of 2025 in comparison to the same timeframe last year, causing market share to dip to just 9 percent, according to a new report from Canada Energy Regulator.

“Weaker sales in 2025 are likely to be the case for a variety of reasons including current levels of economic uncertainty associated with tariffs, backlash against one of the top selling brands Tesla, as well as the recent pause, cancellation and wind down of incentive programs across Canada,” the regulator said in its latest market snapshot, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Ottawa’s impending legislation requires 20 percent of new vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2026, with targets rising to 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2035.

Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman proposed a motion to revoke the federal policy before Parliament’s summer break, contending that it would raise the cost of vehicles and restrict consumer choice.

For the best viewing experiences, here are a few tips that can help Canadians trying to see the shower

Next week, Canadians will have the chance to witness one of nature’s most spectacular light shows, the Perseid meteor shower. For anyone looking to catch a glimpse of these “shooting stars” here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this celestial event.

The comet moves around the sun, leaving behind debris that the Earth passes through, every summer. When the tiny particles enter the Earth’s atmosphere, they burn up and create bright streaks of light in the sky — the shooting stars ” seen during the meteor shower. According to NASA, around 50 to 100 meteors can be seen per hour. Continue…

“Their out-of-state rebellion cannot go unchecked, and the business of Texas must go on,” he added. “I have asked the Texas Supreme Court to declare what has been clear from the beginning: that the runaway members have officially vacated their offices in the Texas House. Continue…
