Supreme Court Overturns Social Security-DOGE Case

Despite the fallout between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, it’s important to note that while Musk was in charge of the efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the initiative isn’t dependent on whether Musk is part of it. Meaning, that even as Musk leaves his responsibilities in the administration, the DOGE project, aimed at reducing the size of the federal government, will continue without him. Along those lines, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered two significant victories for DOGE in two separate cases late last week. Let’s go through these cases together.

Inside Story of the Chinese Scholar Arrested for Smuggling Crop-Killing Fungus in the US

On June 3, federal agents arrested a Chinese researcher who was working at the University of Michigan. The reason for the arrest was that this scholar was allegedly part of a scheme to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States. Specifically, she and her boyfriend were trying to smuggle in a type of fungus that can be used to target food crops here in America (things like wheat, barley, and rice). This particular fungus would have the effect of absolutely decimating these crops. In fact, the feds characterized this plot as being a form of “agroterrorism,” or agricultural terrorism. Furthermore, after looking into it, it turns out that this latest incident wasn’t this couple’s first time—as they’ve actually smuggled in viral pathogens on several other occasions as well. Now that the FBI’s indictment has been unsealed in federal court, let’s go through the details of it all together—because the details are wild.

31 Amazing Features of Air Force One | Facts Matter

Last month the royal family of Qatar was offering the United States a brand new $400 million dollar airplane to be used as a new Air Force One jet. It was a very interesting situation. How do you take an airplane from the Middle East, and convert it into a jet that’s adequate for the President of the United States? Also, the US government was saying that even if they were to accept the plane, it would take billions of dollars, and several years, to convert it into an Air Force One jet. Now, that piqued my interest—and it sent me and my researcher down a rabbit hole into the capabilities of Air Force One. And while many of them are classified, many others are not — such as the fact that one model of Air Force One has a shield in place that can withstand nuclear EMP attacks.

State Supreme Court Votes 5-0 for 6-Week Abortion Ban | Facts Matter

In South Carolina, the state Supreme Court just issued an important ruling on abortion—unanimously voting to uphold the state’s six-week abortion ban. This ruling came as a response to a challenge of that law by Planned Parenthood. Since this ruling in South Carolina represents a great microcosm of what’s happening throughout the whole country, let’s use it as a springboard to examine abortion laws throughout the country.

Former NYPD Sergeant Gets 18 Months in Prison for Acting as Chinese Agent in America

Earlier this month, a former police sergeant was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he was found guilty of acting as an agent of the Chinese regime on American soil. The man in question is former Sergeant Michael McMahon—who previously worked for the New York Police Department. After leaving the police force, however, he went into the private sector as a private investigator, and it was in this capacity that he became entangled in a Chinese Communist Party operation called “Operation Fox Hunt.” Let’s go through the details of this case, as well as what Operation Fox Hunt is all about.

Incredible job on the interviews shared with listeners. Really found May 13, 2024 interview about the 2030 Agenda by the UN and WEF to be so enlightening. Small details lead to huge, unwanted changes. Have a listen and then look back at what’s happening in your world. It explains many of the questions, “Why and How.” Awesome reporting!
