Driving to a few appointments today it appears that every American flag is being flown at half mast, as it should be.
Biden on gas prices - Basically 'Let them eat cake'
Biden praises high gas prices as part of ‘incredible transition’.
Out of touch as ever, President Biden celebrated record-high gas prices Monday, gushing that the pump pain was part of “an incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels.
“ it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The president then insisted that his administration’s actions, rather than increasing the price of gas, had actually been able to “keep it from getting worse — and it’s bad.”
Only then did Biden pay lip service to millions of Americans who have found themselves spending thousands of extra dollars to fuel up their vehicles.
“The price of gas at the pump is something that I told you — you heard me say before — it would be a matter of great discussion at my kitchen table when I was a kid growing up,” Biden said before admitting, “It’s affecting a lot of families.”
As Biden spoke, the average cost of a gallon of gas nationwide sat at $4.596 per gallon. Several states are seeing an average cost of more than $5, while California’s average cost sits just above $6, according to AAA.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, the US and several of its Western allies cut off all imports of Russian oil and gas — which has contributed to soaring gas prices for Americans.
In an effort to counter that, Biden announced the release of 180 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which his administration claimed would cause prices at the pump to “come down fairly significantly.”
At the time, the average price of gas was $4.225 per gallon.
“It’s helped, but it’s not been enough,” Biden claimed Monday.
Elsewhere in the presser, the president admitted the US economy has “problems,” warning that it will be “a haul” and “take some time” to recover.
Republicans blasted the president on social media, with many accusing Biden of celebrating the higher gas prices as Democrats continue to push a radical environmental agenda.
“Democrats are celebrating the higher gas prices Americans are paying,” the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted.
“Biden refers to the skyrocketing gas prices as an ‘incredible transition.’ They’re saying the quiet part out loud now,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) wrote. “They’re causing you pain at the pump because it’s all part of their radical agenda.”

You can now view the Hunter Biden Laptop Emails
Here are 128k emails from the Biden Laptop, which is a modern Rosetta Stone of white and blue collar crime under the patina of “the Delaware Way.” Prior to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, a number of ancient languages were mere gibberish and hash marks. Similarly, the emails on the Biden Laptop illuminated previously convoluted webs of the people you see leading the charge for global governance; truly, the emails can be considered a translation tool for Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering.

Congress to hold 1st hearing on UFOs in over 50 years
Almost a year after a long-awaited U.S. intelligence report on UFOs provided few answers to what military pilots had encountered in more than 140 incidents, top Pentagon officials will face Congress on Tuesday in the first hearing in more than 50 years focused on UFOs.
The intelligence report could only explain one of the military's 144 encounters with Unexplained Aerial Phenomena, the military's new term used to describe UFOs, reported since 2004. That report did not contain the words "alien" or "extraterrestrial" and said that the unexplained UAP incidents would require further study. Still, it did say that most of the phenomena were likely physical objects.
Appearing before a House Intelligence subcommittee on Tuesday will be Ronald Moultrie, the Pentagon’s top intelligence official and Scott Bray, the deputy director of Naval Intelligence, who will be asked by members of Congress if there are any updates.
Committee chairman Rep. Andre Carson, D-N.Y., tweeted last week that "Americans need to know more about these unexplained occurrences."
At the hearing, the defense officials are expected to play videos of some of the encounters that military personnel have had with UAPs to demonstrate how investigators try to determine what is going on in the incidents, according to a U.S. official.
The public's renewed interest in UFOs has been sparked in recent years by the leaks of once classified videos and the Navy's declassification of videos that recorded its pilots' encounters.

Polish girl.... tourist's death in Egypt..
The mysterious death of Magdalena Zuk...
Magdalena Zuk, a 27-year-old Polish beautician, jumped to her death while on vacation in the Egyptian beach resort town of Marsa Alam on April 29, 2017. She was only three days into her week-long holiday.
The original holiday plans included her boyfriend, Markus, but due to issues with his passport, he was unable to join her. She Magdalena only informed her boyfriend 7 hours before the flight as it was meant to be a surprise. The trip was already paid for and they were unable to get a refund or sell the tickets, so Magdalena ended up going alone. It should have been a relaxing holiday, but from day one a series of strange events would occur that would eventually end in her death.
Wednesday
Magdalena flew to Egypt on the 25th of April 2017 and arrived on the 26th. She was booked to stay at the 4-star ‘Three Corners Equinox Beach Resort,’ which was located on the Red Sea...
Reports from residents at the hotel stated that Magdalena was acting strange from the start. She would be sitting and drinking quietly by herself, then all of a sudden be chatting and dancing with everyone, then go quiet again. Other guests stated that she had asked where her boyfriend was as if he was there with her.
From day one her family started receiving unusual text messages from Magdalena. She would text her family as if they were there with her on vacation with her, asking if they would come to her room now. She also stated that she was hearing voices in her room.
Her family even received calls about her behaviour from her travel agent, Mahmoud Khairy, who also spoke Polish. As Magdalena started behaving more strangely, Mahmoud became more involved in her care. Her family started receiving a lot of strange photos of their daughter from him of Magdalena lying in bed in her robe covering her face or lying curled up in the hall.

Captive Russian troops claim commanders kill their own wounded soldiers
Captured Russian soldiers have accused their commanders of killing their own wounded troops rather than recovering them from the battlefield and sending them for treatment.
In a harrowing account to Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Zolkin, the young intelligence soldiers described how one lieutenant colonel asked a wounded comrade if he could walk, the Mirror reported.
When the badly injured soldier replied that he could not, the high-ranking officer reportedly shot him – as well as several others — dead.
Another soldier told Zolkin, who has reported about Russian prisoners for Open Media Ukraine, that officers have “finished off their wounded.”
When the journalist asked him to elaborate, the soldier answered: “Just like that … a wounded soldier is lying on the ground, and a battalion commander shoots him dead from a gun,” according to the outlet.
“It was a young man, he was wounded,” he added. “He was on the ground. He was asked if he could walk, so he was shot dead with a gun.”
Another captive said the lieutenant colonel “shot four or five like this.”
A third told Zolkin that their wounded comrades “could have been rescued, given help, taken out of there. He simply shot them dead.”
It was unclear from the video where the alleged atrocity took place, where the soldiers being interviewed had been captured and what unit they belonged to.
Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, reportedly told Ostorozhno Media that the Kremlin has “no information” about the dead and wounded troops in Ukraine.
He was also asked about reports on social media by loved ones who can’t get the bodies of the dead soldiers in Ukraine.
“The captives are in trouble too … What will we do with our dead and will we exchange captives?” the Kremlin mouthpiece was asked.
“We do not have this information. It is with the Ministry of Defense,” Peskov replied, the news outlet said.
The allegations about Russian commanders killing their own soldiers follows a report that some demoralized troops have taken their own lives on the front line to avoid the conflict.
Andrey Ushakov, 20, claimed he knew two soldiers had committed suicide because they could no longer cope with the bungled invasion, which Russia launched on Feb. 24.
