(Worthy Insights) – Elon Musk on Sunday shared that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has selected its new target: Lawmakers who are worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars despite a modest, by comparison, public salary.

Regular senators and House lawmakers currently earn $174,000 annually, while Senate leaders earn $193,400 per year, according to the upper chamber’s website. That salary would not explain how some lawmakers are now worth tens of millions, even after decades in the chamber. People like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are worth hundreds of millions.

Musk told a Wisconsin audience that he would look into the flood of wealth, after an attendee asked him if DOGE had uncovered evidence of money sent from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Democrats in Congress. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A showdown between Satanists, Christian counter-protesters, and police turned violent in Kansas on Friday when a Satanic leader tried to perform a Satanic ritual inside the Statehouse in violation of an order by the governor.

The leader of the Satanic Grotto group and three other people were arrested in the incident.

Michael Stewart, founder of that Satanic group, had vowed to hold a demonic ritual as a form of “therapeutic blasphemy” inside the Capitol, even though Gov. Laura Kelly had declared that the Black Mass would not be allowed indoors. She had temporarily banned all protests inside the rotunda. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to take a case that could decide whether states can withhold Medicaid funds from abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

The case, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, comes as the nation’s largest abortion provider is in crisis with clinics closing along with allegations of malpractice. The outcome could open the door to allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood.

“Planned Parenthood portrays itself as a healthcare provider, but it is an organization dedicated to abortion, John Bursch, senior counsel and vice president of appellate advocacy with Alliance Defending Freedom (AD) said in a recent press conference. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied scientists for generations. It sits over 3,000 miles below the surface, smaller than the Moon yet massive enough to play a big part in Earth’s magnetic field.

A recent study in Nature Geoscience points to changes that started around 2010, suggesting Earth’s inner core’s spin was slowing.

In effect, it was found to be to be reversing and backtracking relative to the planet’s surface. This discovery has sparked fresh conversations about how the planet’s interior behaves over time. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – For the first time, a team of Israeli archaeologists has uncovered ancient artifacts at northern Israel’s “Armageddon” site that might offer proof of an epic battle documented in the books of Kings II and Chronicles between a king of Judah and an Egyptian pharaoh.

Two academic papers published earlier this year explained how an unprecedented amount of 7th-century BCE Egyptian pottery was found in recent excavations at Megiddo, suggesting that Egyptian soldiers were indeed in the right biblical place at what could be the right biblical period.

“Megiddo is the only site in Israel and the neighboring countries mentioned in the Bible and in all great records of the Ancient Near East,” said Prof. Israel Finkelstein, head of the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa and long-time director of the Megiddo Expedition.

(Worthy Insights) – The North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a mother in the state now allowing her to sue her 14-year-old son’s public school system and a medical provider for reportedly forcing him to get the COVID-19 shot without his or her consent and without her knowledge.

Emily Happel attempted to sue Guilford County Board of Education and Old North State Medical Society in August 2022, alleging battery and infringement of state constitutional rights after her son, Tanner Smith, was forcibly injected with a dose of Pfizer’s COVID shot against his wishes and without parental approval.

However, lower courts dismissed the case after ruling that the 2005 federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act protected the school district and the medical provider from any liability.

(Worthy Insights) – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed one of its underground “missile cities” to Iranian media outlets Wednesday, as tensions with the West boiled over its nuclear program.

An Israeli flag could be seen placed on the ground in the footage at the unveiling — a practice common in the Islamic Republic that allows people to trample the flag as an offense against the Jewish state.

Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri, and the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were present in the footage, touring around on vehicles and speaking to personnel at the undisclosed location. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Archaeologists excavating beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s Old City have uncovered evidence of an ancient garden.

The findings, revealed through a landmark excavation conducted as part of renovations in the church, showed evidence of the presence of olive trees and grapevines from around 2,000 years ago. This evidence aligns with the Gospel of John’s description of the site where Jesus was crucified and buried.

“Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.” (John 19:41) [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, is facing challenges from the executive branch, Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court, which could diminish the organization’s power.

The Trump administration may soon freeze tens of millions of dollars in federal funding for groups providing abortions, including Planned Parenthood. As soon as this week, the Health and Human Services Department could announce a hold on more than $27 million in funds, a spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal.

The department is reviewing grant recipients to make sure they comply with President Trump’s executive orders and federal law. This year, the government was set to distribute $120 million in grants to organizations that deal with family planning. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Recently declassified CIA documents reveal that in 1988, the CIA conducted an experiment as part of a secret project called Sun Streak, aiming to locate the lost artifact using remote viewing techniques.

In one of these experiments, a person identified as Remote Viewer No. 032 was tasked with finding an unknown target, which was, in fact, the Ark of the Covenant. Without prior knowledge of the target, Remote Viewer No. 032 described a container made of wood, gold, and silver, adorned with images of six-winged angels, and similar in shape to a coffin.

“The target is a container. The container contains another container inside it,” Remote Viewer No. 032 stated, according to the New York Post. The remote viewer further described the object as being “hidden—subterranean, dark, and wet,” indicating the concealed nature of its location. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The demonstrators in Gaza who confronted Hamas will face a challenge if they seek to extend their protests. If they can grow and continue for several days, then they may overcome the pushback that generally comes with these types of movements.

The protests spread on Tuesday, and videos appeared to show them in several parts of Gaza. It was difficult to quantify the size or number of the demonstrations because many of the videos showed only a portion of what was taking place.

Most media outlets in Gaza are heavily controlled by Hamas, which means it is difficult to get independent reports on what is happening. At the same time, the protests took place as Israel is expanding its ground operations and asking people to leave areas in northern and southern Gaza. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The FBI said on Monday that it has launched a task force to investigate scores of attacks targeting Tesla, the electric vehicle company headed by Trump administration DOGE chief Elon Musk.

The announcement of the task force, which is operating in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, came hours after a bomb squad found multiple incendiary devices at a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, the same city where the company has its headquarters.

That incident is the latest in a series of attacks and vandalism on Tesla properties related to CEO Musk’s DOGE team. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on Saturday that the security cabinet had greenlighted a plan to separate 13 existing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, internationally known as the West Bank, from their neighboring communities.

“We continue to lead a revolution of normalization and regulation in the settlements. Instead of hiding and apologizing – we raise the flag, build and settle. This is another important step on the path to actual sovereignty in Judea and Samaria,” Smotrich stated in a post on 𝕏.

Smotrich, who also serves as a minister within the Defense Ministry, argued that the move was designed to address the “great difficulties in their daily management” that these Jewish settlements had previously faced. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The US could default on its $36 trillion debt as early as July and no later than October without congressional action, according to a study released Monday.

The Bipartisan Policy Center estimated that members of Congress will have to vote to increase the debt ceiling before the limit is breached for the federal government to be able to keep paying its bills on time.

The four-month window reflects multiple factors that the nonpartisan group analyzed, including the amount of tax revenue collected starting in April, the devastation wrought by the Atlantic hurricane season beginning in early summer, tariff revenues and the overall strength of the US economy.

(Worthy Insights) – Researchers claim they’ve discovered the legendary Halls of Amenti in a “vast city” beneath Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza — a wild theory that has perplexed archeological experts who dismiss the claims as “fake news.”

Italian and Scottish scientists studying the pyramid of Khafre say the “groundbreaking study has redefined the boundaries of satellite data analysis and archeological exploration,” according to spokesperson Nicole Ciccolo.

Aptly named the Khafre Project, Corrado Malanga from Italy’s University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi of the University of Strathclyde in Scotland led the expedition to discover the Giza Plateau’s second-largest pyramid.[ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Israeli political and military leaders are considering plans for a fresh ground campaign in Gaza that could include a military occupation of the entire enclave for months or longer, according to Washington Post reporting. The plans would mark a significant escalation in Israel’s 17-month operation.

Current and former Israeli officials briefed on the matter told the Washington Post that the new tactics would likely include direct military control of humanitarian aid, targeting Hamas’s civilian leadership, and evacuating women, children and vetted noncombatants to “humanitarian bubbles” while laying siege to those who remain. This approach would intensify tactics first employed last year in northern Gaza.

Israeli officials emphasized they are still waiting for the outcome of ceasefire talks and no decisions have been made on whether – and how – to escalate the current phase of the offensive, which has so far consisted mostly of aerial bombardment, the Washington Post reported. [ Source (Read More…) ]
