Burned By A UFO

On a December night in 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and six-year-old Colby Landrum took a back road home through the East Texas pines. A blazing, diamond-shaped craft dropped over the road in front of them, pouring fire onto the pavement.

When it lifted away, a swarm of twin-rotor military helicopters closed in around it. Within hours, the three witnesses were sick, and within days, their hair was falling out.

The doctors had no answers, and the military denied everything. So Betty and Vickie did something no one had done before: They sued the United States government over a UFO.

What flew over Farm Road 1485 that night? And why is one key page of the Army’s own report still blacked out? Here’s more from The Why Files.

Truckers May Stop Oct. 1

Okay so…diesel prices are skyrocketing, *isolated* fuel outages are being reported across Michigan, Florida, and Texas, airlines are cutting flights, and social media has been flooded with calls for truckers to park their rigs beginning October 1. And no, there is no ~officially confirmed~ nationwide trucker strike—but when operating costs exceed what a load pays…does it really matter? Trucks can be priced out of being operational.

In this follow-up investigation, we examine America’s tightening diesel supply, refinery disruptions in the Midwest, Saudi Arabia’s canceled oil shipments to Europe and the ongoing and recent attacks on their infrastructure, the declining Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Iran’s heavily subsidized gasoline prices (literally pennies for a liter of gas) and the economic pressure now spreading through trucking, farming, aviation and food distribution.

We also cover the history of the 1973–1974 oil crisis, when rising fuel costs helped trigger an eleven-day independent trucker shutdown, and ask what happens when modern supply disruptions collide with historically strained inventories and an economy built around constant transportation (spoiler: it’s not good).

Don’t California My Texas!

Will Texas go Blue?

Bridget Phetasy rants about Texas turning into California, why non-practicing white is the most glorious term ever, Gavin Newsom fishing, an uncomfortable conversation about race, and Mitch McConnell memes.

Here’s more from Phetasy in a new edition of the Dumpster Fire.

Paramount To Leave California

It’s official! Paramount will leave California after the state’s antitrust battle with Paramount over its plans for a merger with Warner Brothers Discovery. The blue state essentially stymied a $111 billion deal, so we would frankly be shocked if Paramount stayed.

But citing TMZ as a source, Clownfish TV says California is screwed, and it’s their own damned fault. It’s estimated, if Paramount leaves, California will lose a total of 58,000 jobs and as much as $21 billion in annual revenue. Paramount itself has about 5,500 full-time jobs, while the balance of more than 50,000 jobs includes companies that do business for Paramount and could either leave or shut down if Paramount is gone.

Paramount has been in Hollywood for more than 100 years, so any departure would be an upheaval under any circumstance. It’s presumed Paramount would go to Texas, and quite possibly Austin, but nothing official has been stated yet as far as the location of its new headquarters. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Trump Risking His Own Legacy

Glenn Beck reviews the biggest moments of President Donald Trump’s speech at the first-ever RNC Midterm Convention.

Beck addresses the pertinent question: Why is Trump putting his legacy on the line?

Trump Dangles $5,000 Rebates

In an election-year pledge, reminiscent of the old-style Democratic moves by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President Donald Trump is pledging to give every eligible American adult a $5,000 rebate, providing the Republicans can retain both chambers of the Congress.

Some restrictions will apply. For instance, Vice President J.D. Vance has suggested that the wealthiest Americans might be excluded. Also likely to be excluded: Illegal aliens. Trump held out the pledge at the Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas, Texas.

He also announced he is seeking major changes in the way the 2030 U.S. Census is conducted. Under his plan, illegal aliens and non-permanent legal residents would not be counted as part of the population used to decide House apportionment. This would significantly reduce the number of seats given states like California and New York, while raising totals for red states.

Opponents argue the 14th Amendment requires apportionment based on the “whole number of persons” in each state. The proposal is open for public comment and is expected to face significant legal challenges. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner. He also touches upon plans by Trump and Elon Musk to spend heavily on behalf of Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.

Major Storms, Floods Coming

Look for historic El Nino weather patterns this winter, owing to an unusual trough of super-hot water occupying the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of California. Former CIA agent and now widely followed pundit Michael Jaco says this will lead us to an extremely wet winter.

We’ll see heavy snow across much of the United States as well as intense rains causing flash floods. The flooding will be concentrated along the Pacific corridor, especially in California and Oregon.  But we’ll see evidence of these outbursts, as well as big storms, throughout the United States. Look for the most moisture in the South, from Texas on into Tennessee and the lower Mississippi states. The northern states, by contrast, are expected to be dryer and warmer than usual.

We won’t know more precisely the weather patterns — and where they might hit — until we get into the late fall and winter. But forecasters say the probabilities are high — in the 90 percent range — that this will be a winter for the record books. These patterns will prevail through the balance of 2026 and on into 2027. Here’s Jaco with the bigger picture.

Talarico Blows It Wide Open!

It’s no wonder Texas Republicans refer to James Talarico as “Talafreako.” Now, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from Texas wants to dismantle capitalism!

There’s no other state in the country built so much by capitalism as Texas. How Democrats there can gravitate around Talafreako tells us all we need to know.

Today’s Democratic Party is a sick-o party full of limp-wristed leftists, snobs and feminists. Texans need to blast these suckers right out, beyond Dodge even!  Here’s more from Trish Regan.

What’s Going On In Texas?

What’s the deal with James Talarico? He’s the Democratic Party’s nominee for the U.S. Senate from Texas.

We always thought Texas was a place full of manly men. But Talarico is barely a wisp.

To give off the appearance he’s a real man, Talarico munches on turkey drumsticks. If Texas elects him, they’ll be known as the Gobbler Gulch. Here’s more from Arynne Wexler.

Ideal Front For Child Rapists

In this follow-up report, a couple of inside whistleblowers divulge how a Los Angeles-based informercial marketer became the largest donor and backer of a couple of Hindu con men who ran what could have been the world’s largest sex trafficking operations. Originally based in India, the cult set up temples in Los Angeles, California, and Austin, Texas.

A few mainstream journalists in Austin tried to crack this case over the years, but neither of the con men — nor their American devotees — have ever been punished for these heinous crimes. One of the cretins was placed on trial, but escaped via Mexico back to India.

Today’s installment attempts to break the wall of silence surrounding these crooks. Will the FBI ever turn its attention to the so-called Jagadgurus? Will sanctions be drawn against the nation of India if it continues to hide and shelter these fiends?  How about the devotees who ran a company ironically called Ideal Living? Will this circle be broken? Here’s more from Reckless Ben.
