Excerpt:

Scientists at a remote research base in Antarctica have pleaded for their rescue, alleging assault, sexual harassment and death threats from a team member they say is mentally unstable.

The problems at the isolated SANAE IV base were first reported by South Africa’s Sunday Times newspaper, which said it had seen an email from a team member to authorities last month claiming the man had attacked the base leader and made threats.

The email pleaded for help.

“His behavior has escalated to a point that is deeply disturbing,” the email said, according to the Sunday Times. “I remain deeply concerned about my own safety, constantly wondering if I might become the next victim.”

The report alleged the man made a death threat and accused the team member of sexually assaulting another.

French police clash with migrants after executing eviction order on Parisian theater squatters– rmx.news

Excerpt:

French riot police forcibly evacuated the Gaîté Lyrique cultural venue on Tuesday morning, which had been illegally occupied by hundreds of migrant squatters for over three months with the backing of far-left local lawmakers.

The operation, carried out amidst protests and clashes with demonstrators, resulted in the arrest of 46 individuals, mostly migrants, and several minor injuries.

The eviction process began at approximately 6 a.m., as demonstrators — who heeded the call by the far-left La France Insoumise to protest at the venue — attempted to block police entry. Riot police had to deploy tear gas to clear the area.

According to reports, many migrants had already left during the night, fearing forced removal and detention without a viable housing alternative.

Recent research by scientists at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT), Texas Tech University, and several other collaborating institutions have identified ancient fossils of a newly described tree species named Astropanax eogetem.

The discovery further reveals the details of life nearly 22 million years ago (a geological time known as the early Miocene) in a prehistoric forest in Ethiopia. The findings are published in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.

The fossils were found in the Mush Valley, which is located about 160 miles northeast of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. Dr. Aaron Pan, Executive Director of the Museum of Texas Tech University and a Research Associate at BRIT, has conducted extensive excavations at the site as a member of a research team, uncovering a wealth of evidence of life in a lush tropical forest surrounding a volcanic crater lake.

Trump Declares Biden Auto-Pen Pardons ‘Void’ – But now What?– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

President Donald Trump has declared former President Joe Biden’s fake auto-pen pardons null and void. But what happens now?

Probably nothing.

The fact is, the courts will never touch this case. It is too fraught with the possibilities of interfering with presidential privilege. Sure, if the Trump White House arrested someone involved here, the courts might be forced into it. But, shy of that, no court will touch this case.

Further, I’d bet that the Trump White House won’t do anything past this political proclamation, either.

MSNBC Host Dramatically Quits the Democratic Party On-Air: ‘They Blew It’– www.westernjournal.com

Symone Sanders-Townsend is a longtime operative in the Democratic Party.

The MSNBC host served as the press secretary for the 2016 presidential campaign of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, then joined the 2020 primary campaign for then-former Vice President Joe Biden.

From there, she served in the last administration, specifically as the chief spokesperson for now-former Vice President Kamala Harris, also working as her senior adviser.

Sanders-Townsend has poured the last decade or more of her life into Democratic politics, but the current weakness of the party means that even she has had enough.
