Classified Docs From Biden's Time as Vice President Uncovered at Private Office
Former US President Donald Trump asked if the FBI would search the homes of current President Joe Biden amid the discovery of classified documents in the office of an analytical organization in Washington.
Earlier, the White House admitted that Biden used office space in Washington for three years, where they found secret documents from the time of his vice presidency in the administration of Barack Obama.
"When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House? These documents were definitely not declassified," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Last August, the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, accusing him of hiding government documents.

US Korean War Memorial Misspells More Than 1,000 Names
A $22 million wall of remembrance being built to honor the names of US service members killed during the 1950-53 Korean War is so sloppy that it misses 500 dead victims, including a Congressional Medal of Honor winner, and misspells the names of 1,015 people, historians told US media.
For example, Frederick Bald Eagle Bear, a US Army corporal and member of the Lakota Native American nation, is carved into the polished granite as Eagle B. F. Bald, the report said.
John Koelsch, a helicopter pilot shot down and who later died in a North Korean prison camp, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor but his name is misspelled too, the report added.

Ancient Brazilian Stone Tools Were Actually Made by Monkeys, Not Humans, Study Says
Stone tools found at Pleistocene archaeological sites in Brazil were not made by early humans, a study by Argentine government agency CONICET (National Scientific and Technical Research Council) scientists suggests. The real creators could have been the ancestors of modern capuchin monkeys.
Archaeologist Agustín Agnolín and paleontologist Federico Agnolín compared these 50,000-year-old objects made of quartzite and quartz pebbles with tools made today by capuchin monkeys in the Serra da Capivara National Park in Brazil.

🐝 The US Department of Agriculture has approved PrimeBEE, a vaccine that protects honeybees from American Foulbrood disease - a bacterial infection that kills larvae. This product from Dalan Animal Health is the first bee vaccine of its kind.
💬 "This is an exciting step forward for beekeepers, as we rely on antibiotic treatment that has limited effectiveness and requires lots of time and energy to apply to our hives," Trevor Tauzer, board member of the California State Beekeepers Association, explained. "If we can prevent an infection..., we can avoid costly treatments and focus our energy on... keeping our bees healthy."
💉 For the vaccine to work, it must be mixed with royal jelly and then workers feed it to the queen bee. The vaccine particles will penetrate into the ovaries of the queen and from there into the yolk of the eggs. Her offspring will gain innate immunity to blight

❗️ The director of the Chancellery of the President of Poland was fired: according to local media reports it happened due to President Duda's conversation with Russian pranksters who managed to dupe the Polish president into thinking that he was talking with French President Emmanuel Macron.
That conversation took place after a Ukrainian rocket killed two farmers in Poland. Then, in the first hours after the incident, some western countries promoted the version that the rocket belonged to Russia. Subsequently, it was established that the rocket belongs to Ukraine.
“You think I need war with Russia? No, I do not want that. I do not want a war with Russia, and I am very careful, trust me, very careful,” Duda said during the conversation, adding that he did not consider invoking article 5 of the NATO Treaty.
