Biden says he has 'great confidence' in General Milley despite him admitting he DID call China and lectured staff on nukes protocol: Trump's Defense Secretary says he 'did not' authorize general's China calls and says he should resign



President Joe Biden is standing behind Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley after the embattled military man admitted on Wednesday he did speak to Chinese officials before the 2020 election and again in January. Milley was responding to a bombshell report that claims he phoned his counterpart there behind Trump's back over concerns the ex-president would take rogue action to stay in office. 'The president knows General Milley,' White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at her daily news briefing on Wednesday. 'They have worked side by side through a range of international event.' 'The president has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism and his fidelity to our Constitution.' She noted that Milley held his position heading the Joint Chiefs for eight months of Biden's presidency. Psaki then went on to provide 'context' to the period in which Milley made the calls. 'The outgoing president of the United States, during this time, fomented unrest, leading to an insurrection and an attack on our nation's Capitol on January 6th.' She called it 'one of the darkest days in our nation's history.' Milley maintains in the statement that the calls were 'vital' to 'avoiding unintended consequences,' but seemed to dispute that they were done in secret.

Prison Inmate Reports Odd UFO Sighting

An inmate at a prison in England claims that a UFO appeared outside the facility and caused a weird physical effect on the bewildered witnesses who saw the curious object. The unsettling account came by way of a letter to the outlet Inside Times, which is a publication "for prisoners and detainees" in Britain. According to the inmate, who goes unnamed, the odd incident occurred earlier this year at a facility known as HMP The Verne in the county of Dorset. In recounting the puzzling event, the letter writer insisted that "I do not believe in the supernatural or aliens from Mars, but what we recently saw here in this prison was really very strange and still leaves me speechless."

While he and his fellow inmates were out in the prison yard getting some exercise, the witness says that he spotted a hawk that appeared to be sizing up some prey down on the ground. The glimpse of Mother Nature in action took a strange turn, however, when "a very bright light, which I first thought was the sun, appeared as the clouds opened." Incredibly, the peculiar glowing object then approached the prison yard until it was approximately 100 feet above the exercise area. The sight was so strange, he says, that both the prisoners and the guards were captivated by what they were seeing in the sky above them.

The already weird event became even more bizarre when the UFO "started to shrink and collapse in on itself until it sort of just dissolved into a cloud of mist" which subsequently rained down upon the prisoners. The following day, the writer recalls, "we all came out in a red rash" presumably from whatever the mysterious falling material might have been. Concluding his account of the case, the man indicated that speculation over the event within the prison has understandably run rampant with some suggesting that the inmates may have been subjected to some kind of secret weapon test, which is not altogether out of the realm of possibility considering that the inmates were literally a captive audience.

Wow, this is a huge reveal if these two murder cases are linked...The boyfriend (Laundrie) a serial killer maybe?...Is anyone else following this story?...

EXCLUSIVE: Investigators not ruling out potential link between missing woman and grisly double-murder

Utah investigators have not ruled out a potential connection between two high-profile cases in the scenic campgrounds around Moab – a grisly double-homicide that left newlyweds dead and an apparent lovers’ quarrel involving a woman who has since gone missing.

"We're looking at everything, I mean, anything and everything that was suspicious around that time or we're not ruling anything out at this time," a spokesman for the Grand County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Wednesday afternoon. "So we're just investigating the information as it comes in."

Crystal Turner, 38, and Kylen Schulte, 24, were last seen on Aug. 13 at Woody’s Tavern on Main Street in Moab. They were found shot to death in the South Mesa area of the La Sal Loop Road five days later.

Deputies have not yet identified a suspect, the spokesman said, and they are investigating all possible leads.

Petito-2.jpg


A friend discovered the victims partially undressed and riddled with bullet wounds, according to a warrant obtained by the Salt Lake City-based FOX 13.

Schulte worked nearby at a co-op grocery store called Moonflower – the organic, herb-scented bodega where Gabby Petito, 22, and Brian Laundrie, 23, got into an emotional argument that prompted a police response on Aug. 12.

The proximity of time and location prompted speculation that the two separate incidents may share another connection.

No charges were filed after the domestic call, but the incident was enough for a third-party witness to call 911. The engaged couple, who had been road-tripping across the country in a Ford Transit van since early July, told police that stress and undisclosed mental health issues had been building up ahead of the argument.

To be clear, there's been no evidence the two are connected at this time.

Police separated the two and set up Laundrie in a hotel overnight to cool things off. Petito stayed in the van – which Laundrie drove home to Florida without her on Sept. 1. That was 10 days before his fiancé’s mother reported her missing and six after Petito’s last known video call from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Laundrie has been hiding out at his parents’ house in North Port, Fla. He hired a lawyer and has refused to answer police questions. North Port police said they were aware of the Aug. 12 incident and that it "certainly paints a picture leading up to Gabby’s disappearance."

Chief Todd Garrison called out Laundrie’s lawyer Wednesday on Twitter. "Mr. Steven Bertolino, esq. the @NorthPortPolice needs your help in finding Gabby Petito," he wrote. "Please call us to arrange a conversation with Brian Laundrie. Two people left on a trip and one person returned!"

Bertolino did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Richard Stafford, a spokesman for Petito’s family, also released a statement Wednesday calling on Laundrie to cooperate with police, calling his silence "reprehensible."

"Brian claims he wants to sit in the background while we search for Gabby in the wilderness of the Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks," he said. "Brian left Gabby in the wilderness with grizzly bears and wolves while he sits in the comfort of his home. In his home!"

Laundrie has been named a person of interest but not a suspect in connection with Petito’s disappearance, and authorities have not definitively linked the two cases.

Turner and Schulte were newlyweds on a camping trip when they were shot and killed. Schulte’s aunt Bridget Calvert said her niece and Turner had told friends at least twice about a man who was "creeping them out" around the campground, FOX 13 reported.

Investigators did not immediately have a description for the creeper.

The FBI is assisting in both cases.

Its one screw-up after another with this Biden administration, so much for transparency even on the southern border...


Biden admin bans drones documenting ‘out of control’ southern border crisis

The Federal Aviation Administration has placed a two-week flight restriction along a bridge at the southern border inundated with thousands of illegal immigrants, which prevents reporters from flying drones to document the crisis.

"We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants. FAA says ‘special security reason,’" Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted Thursday evening.


Melugin added that Fox News has been using drones for months and there has never been an issue.

"We have reached out to the FAA to ask for clarification on why this TFR was implemented," Melugin tweeted. "We haven’t heard back yet. Will update if/when we do."

"The Border Patrol requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border," the FAA said in a statement Thursday evening. "As with any temporary flight restriction, media is able to call the FAA to make requests to operate in the area."

Over 8,000 migrants are currently waiting underneath the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, waiting to be apprehended and processed after crossing into the United States illegally. Sources tell Fox News that the situation is "out of control" and that the border patrol is overwhelmed.

Thousands of Haitian pour across the border at Del Rio as makeshift camp swells to 10,000 after Biden said illegal immigrants WON'T have to get vaccinated



Thousands of migrants continue to converge in a makeshift camp under the bridge that connects Del Rio, Texas and Mexico's Ciudad Acuña, in the latest border emergency and humanitarian crisis facing US President Joe Biden. The camp had swelled to some 10,000 migrants on Thursday, with thousands seen wading across the Rio Grande River daily. Most are Haitians, with some Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans also present. Amid the surge of the highly infectious Delta variant, the crowded conditions of the camp also raised concerns about the possibility of COVID-19 outbreaks endangering the health of the migrants.

Joe goes MIA (again): Biden, 78, hits the beach as the Pentagon admits it killed seven kids in a drone strike, the French recall their ambassador, the FDA blows up his booster plans and 12,000 Haitian migrants set up camp under a bridge in Texas



Biden left the White House before noon on Friday, hours before the Pentagon held a late-afternoon briefing to reveal that US forces had badly botched a drone strike in Kabul, killing 10 innocent civilians. Meanwhile as the day unfolded, France recalled its ambassador to the US in outrage over the new AUKUS security pact, the US Food and Drug Administration rejected Biden's call for widespread COVID booster shots, and a squalid camp of 12,000 Haitian migrants continued to grow near the border in Texas. The Secret Service dropped Biden off at his mansion in Rehoboth Beach at 1.37pm, and he plans to spend the weekend there with the First Lady, with no events on his public schedule.

Cops should have been all over Brian: Police are slammed for letting Gabby Petito's boyfriend disappear without being questioned ONCE after body - believed to be her - is found buried at their Wyoming camp site



Investigators in Florida are being criticized for allowing 'person of interest' Brian Laundrie to go into hiding without ever being questioned in the disappearance of his fiance, Gabby Petito, after the FBI announced it found the body of a person 'consistent with the description.' The FBI announced that it had used 'ground surveys' to locate a body that is likely that of Petito on Sunday.

The body was found at the Spread Creek campground in Bridger-Teton National Forest on the eastern edge of the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on Sunday afternoon. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. Investigators hope to confirm Petito's identity as well as nail down a cause of death. Meanwhile, law enforcement is drawing scrutiny for allowing Laundrie to go missing.

The police department in North Port, Florida said on Monday it 'currently has no plans to conduct a major search of the Carlton Reserve today,' according to Fox News. North Port police were directed to the Carlton Reserve area by Laundrie's parents, who reportedly told investigators that their son visited the area. Police searched the area on Sunday.

FBI arrest Brian Laundrie's PARENTS after storming their Florida home: Search for him in nature reserve is called off, autopsy begins on body found in Wyoming and cops face backlash for allowing him to disappear



FBI agents stormed the North Port, Florida home of 'person of interest' Brian Laundrie on Monday and held his parents in a parked police van in the driveway after authorities called off a search of a nearby nature reserve, saying they have 'exhausted all avenues.' The dramatic development come a day after investigators found the body of a person believed to be his fiance, missing van-lifer Gabby Petito, in Wyoming. Footage from CNN shows a large continent of law enforcement officials arriving at the home on Monday. FBI agents and police moved into the Laundrie house in force around 9.40 am this morning. Five vehicles turned up with officers pouring out after the house was suddenly taped off with yellow police line tape. Shouts of ‘search warrant’ could be heard.

Laundries parents were taken swiftly out of the home and into a black propel carrier. FBI agents lined up outside the door before heading in at speed. One officer said to onlookers: 'Stand back. It’s for your own safety.' Investigators in Florida are being criticized for allowing Laundrie to go into hiding without ever being questioned in the disappearance of Petito after the FBI announced it found the body of a person ‘consistent with the description.’ The FBI announced that it had used 'ground surveys' to locate a body that is likely that of Petito on Sunday. Investigators warn, however, that they are in a race against time as the long exposure to the elements could cause the body to decompose, making it more difficult to determine exactly how she died.

Biden DOUBLES US climate change fund to $11BN a year and commits $10BN to feed poor people across the world as he assures China 'we're not seeking a new Cold War' in major speech to the United Nations



President Joe Biden made his first major address before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday - announcing new financial commitments as he tried to reestablish the U.S.'s place in the global community. Biden said he'd ask Congress to double the amount of money for public climate financing - to about $11 billion a year - while also devoting $10 billion to curb hunger. 'We are not seeking a new Cold War,' Biden also assured the delegates, after the U.N.'s secretary- general expressed concerns about the U.S.'s deteriorating relationship with China. 'We'll stand up for our allies and our friends and oppose attempts by stronger countries to dominate weaker ones, whether through changes to territory by force, economic coercion, technical exploitation or disinformation, but we're not seeking - I'll say it again, we are not seeking a new Cold War or a world divided into rigid blocs,' the president stated. 'The United States is ready to work with any nation that steps up and pursues peaceful resolution to shared challenges - even if we have intense disagreements in other areas because we'll all suffer the consequences of our failure if we do not come together to address the urgent threats like COVID-19, climate change or enduring threats like nuclear proliferation,' Biden said.

'We need justice for Gabby': Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis orders all state agencies to assist in search for Brian Laundrie as FBI and local cops scour 25,000-acre snake and gator-infested reserve



North Port Police announced Tuesday multiple teams had returned to the 'vast and unforgiving' Carlton Reserve to continue the search for Brian Laundrie. More than 50 searchers from at least eight law enforcement agencies led by the FBI are using huge swamp-busting amphibious vehicles, ATVs, (left) bloodhounds, other K9s and drones (top right). Laundrie's parents have said he told them he was heading to the reserve when they last saw him last Tuesday. On Monday, the final resting place of the body believed to belong to Gabby Petito was revealed. A stone cross tribute (inset) was marked on the ground at the Spread Creek Dispersed Campsite, close to the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. A body matching Petito, 22, (bottom right with Laundrie) was found Sunday with an autopsy due to be carried out Tuesday to confirm the identity.

Gabby Petito's remains found in Wyoming, FBI confirms 'homicide'
The final autopsy report nor the cause of death of Gabby Petito have been released


The FBI on Tuesday afternoon confirmed that the remains investigators discovered on Sunday in the Teton-Bridger National Forest belonged to missing 22-year-old woman Gabby Petito.

"Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue confirmed the remains are those of Gabrielle Venora Petito, date of birth March 19, 1999. Coroner Blue’s initial determination for the manner of death is homicide. The cause of death remains pending final autopsy results," the FBI tweeted Tuesday with a statement from the Jackson, Wyoming, coroner.



The FBI and local law enforcement agencies were searching for Petito over the weekend in a remote campsite area on the border of the national forest and Grand Teton National Park. Remains discovered on Sunday were transported to Blue's office for an autopsy, which he performed on Tuesday. The final report nor the exact cause of death have been released.

"The FBI's commitment to justice is in the forefront of each and every investigation," FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider said in a statement. "The FBI and our partners remain dedicated to ensuring anyone responsible for or complicit in Ms. Petito's death is held accountable for their actions."

Catch and release: Biden makes mockery of his pledge to send home Haitian migrants by RELEASING thousands into America with just 1,000 deported since Sunday. So why should they stop coming?



Thousands of Haitian migrants are being freed into the US on a 'very, very large scale' rather than being flown out on deportation flights as the Biden administration promised, according to officials. Two US officials with knowledge of the situation in Del Rio - where around 14,000 mostly Haitian migrants were camped out under a bridge at the weekend after crossing into the US from Mexico - said thousands have been released into the US with notices to appear at an immigration court in 60 days' time. Others have been sent on buses and planes to other parts of the US to be processed by Border Patrol agents there, they said. This purported reality on the ground is drastically at odds with the public statements the Biden administration has made in recent days in an effort to get a handle on the ever-increasing migrant crisis at the US's southern border. The official line is that Haitians are being expelled from the US back to the crisis-stricken Caribbean nation under a Donald Trump-era rule. Under Title 42, migrants can be repatriated to their home nations without the possibility of requesting asylum due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insisted Monday that migrants entering the US illegally will be sent back to their home countries. 'If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned, your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family's life,' he said at a press conference.
