🦗 The strange noises US diplomats to Cuba linked to the so-called Havana syndrome, were probably caused by insects rather than microwave weapons, a new declassified report reveals.
Authors of the scientific review, commissioned by the State Department, examined at least eight recordings of the high-frequency sounds.
They found that the sounds were either mechanical or biological, but not electronic – and “no plausible source of energy” could produce both the recorded sounds and the reported effects.
“The most likely source is the Indies short-tailed cricket,” the report concluded.

🤔 A middle school in Minnesota has decided to get rid of the “F” grade… to fight “systemic racism”.
White Bear Lake School’s new grading scale has got rid of the 0-49.9 percentile for pupils – and doesn’t include such factors as late arrival, behaviour, or attitude.
The school adopted the new system after an equity audit was conducted, according to its website. It says that grading “can be one of the largest areas in which systemic racism and inequities are perpetuated”.

Just heard Patriots are moving the Texas Audit Bill forward. Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt filed Senate Bill 47, legislation that authorizes Texans to initiate a strong and real Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam—not a weak risk-limiting audit that is being slow-walked through the Secretary of State’s office. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a great guy, sent the bill to the State Affairs Committee the very same day, and it should quickly pass through the Senate. There is still time for the House to take up the issue in the Third Special session with House Bill 16.
I’d like to thank Dan and Paul for their bold leadership, and for listening to Texans who are demanding answers about Nov. 3. Everyone feels certain Governor Abbott will follow suit. This will have a big impact on the upcoming 2022 and 2024 elections in Texas. Texas will always be red, but we must stop the cheating.
Keep it up and get this bill over the finish line. Passing the audit bill will be a Big Win for Texas! Let's make sure the great people of Texas believe and trust their elections.

Podcast host Joe Rogan suggests US President Joe Biden lied about getting a booster shot against COVID-19.
🗣 "I think if they were going to give him a booster shot, the last thing they would do is give it to him live on television. What if he dies? What if he blacks out? What if he like gets it and faints? Like, because people have had very bad reactions like in the moment for whatever reason," Rogan said.
Rogan wasn't the only person who was suspicious. Late night host Stephen Colbert asked someone from his show to call the White House to confirm whether the windows behind Biden as he got the jab were fake - and that after officials first said they'd “get back” to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," ”they confirmed that,“ yes, the windows were fake."
🗣 “I understand he was doing this on camera to encourage everybody to get the shot, and that’s a good thing,” Colbert said during his program on Monday night. “But all I could see was what looked like incredibly fake windows behind the president. It's a fake room!"

The vice president's failure to object to a student's accusations against Tel Aviv was perceived by some officials and Israeli media as an "anti-Israeli" message.
Kamala Harris was discussing the importance of elections and public demonstrations for democracy at George Mason University. After she offered attendees to ask some questions, a self-described "part-Yemeni, part-Iranian" female student raised an issue.
🗣 "It hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people - the same that happened in America - and I’m sure you’re aware of this", the student said.
Kamala didn't confront the student over her statements, praising her instead for raising the issue.
😒 Groans were probably yet again heard in the White House as Kamala continues to embarrass the administration on international affairs

▪️ US lawmakers have fired a barrage of criticism at a top Facebook executive on how its Instagram photo-sharing platform impacts teens’ mental health, but Facebook has instead offered assurances that the sites are safe.
🗣 “This research is a bombshell. It is powerful, gripping, riveting evidence that Facebook knows of the harmful effects of its site on children, and that it has concealed those facts and findings,” Senator Richard Blumenthal said
