'I'm confident': Alina Habba says she expects Trump's $464M debt will be dismissed

By M.L. Nestel
Published March 18, 2024 6:30 PM ET

Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba is banking on the $464 million civil debt racked up in the New York fraud case being thrown out.

"Despite the fact that witnesses frankly had said that they were great clients, we all made money, they did nothing wrong, we got slammed with this egregious number, and I'm confident we'll overturn it," she said during an interview with the online podcast X22 Report, which was reported by Newsweek.

Habba claimed in the interview that New York Attorney General Letitia James had set the Trump Organization up for certain defeat.

Lauren Boebert launched into a pity party during a radio interview in Colorado, complaining that her antics during a performance of Beetlejuice were shared with the public.

“As far as [opposition] research, I am very clearly an open book,” she told KHOW’s Dan Caplis Show in Denver.

“And I can’t even go to a theater without that being, you know, broadcast to the world.”

Your Regular Reminder That Kathleen Parker Is Still As Bigoted As Ever

The Washington Post's Kathleen Parker shows her true colors once.

By Steve M. — March 18, 2024

The Washington Post's Kathleen Parker thinks Democrats should dump Kamala Harris. That's a fairly common pundit opinion, but most anti-Harris pundits don't Go There. Parker decides to Go There:

The Democratic Party’s indulgence of identity politics has proved successful in building a diverse organization, but its strategy of courting (and pandering to) minority voters is the road to ruin....

The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop.

Fox News on Sunday introduced Christian prayers that were sponsored by a Bible app.

"We have more Fox and Friends coming up, but you know what this is a transition for transitions if you've ever had one so so so Fox and Friends, this is very Fox and Friends, so ready your heart," Fox News host Pete Hegseth said on Sunday, segueing from a rant against TikTok.

"It's the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our prayer series continues with the reading of prayer from the Hallow app. We all need it, let's do it this morning, close your eyes — if you would bow your head," he continued.

NASA's Curiosity Rover Captures a Martian Day, From Dawn to Dusk

CURIOSITY NEWS | December 28, 2023

When NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover isn’t on the move, it works pretty well as a sundial, as seen in two black-and-white videos recorded on Nov. 8, the 4,002nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The rover captured its own shadow shifting across the surface of Mars using its black-and-white Hazard-Avoidance Cameras, or Hazcams.

Instructions to record the videos were part of the last set of commands beamed up to Curiosity just before the start of Mars solar conjunction, a period when the Sun is between Earth and Mars. Because plasma from the Sun can interfere with radio communications, missions hold off on sending commands to Mars spacecraft for several weeks during this time. (The missions weren’t totally out of contact: They still radioed back regular health check-ins throughout conjunction.)

Rover drivers normally rely on Curiosity’s Hazcams to spot rocks, slopes, and other hazards that may be risky to traverse. But because the rover’s other activities were intentionally scaled back just prior to conjunction, the team decided to use the Hazcams to record 12 hours of snapshots for the first time, hoping to capture clouds or dust devils that could reveal more about the Red Planet’s weather.

NASA finds clue while solving Voyager 1's communication breakdown case

By Robert Lea published 1 day ago

An outlier signal has brought ground control closer to decoding the troubling problem.

NASA engineers are a step closer to solving the communication problem that left the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which presently sits outside the solar system, unable to send usable data back to Earth.

In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space. For 11 years following this achievement, the spacecraft dutifully sent data to ground control. This was data that detailed how space works beyond the influence of the sun. In Nov. 2023, however, Voyager 1's communications with ground operators stopped making sense.

To be clear, however, Voyager 2, which followed its spacecraft sibling out of the solar system in 2018, is still operational and communicating with Earth.

The DOJ has opened a criminal investigation into the Alaska Airlines 737 blowout, a report says

BY GENE JOHNSON
Updated 1:26 PM EDT, March 10, 2024

SEATTLE (AP) — The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into the Boeing jetliner blowout that left a gaping hole on an Alaska Airlines plane this January, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.

Citing documents and people familiar with the matter, the newspaper said investigators have contacted some passengers and crew — including pilots and flight attendants — who were on the Jan. 5th flight.

The Boeing plane used by Alaska Airlines suffered the blowout seven minutes after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing. Boeing has been under increased scrutiny since the incident, when a panel that plugged a space left for an extra emergency door blew off a Max 9 jet. There were no serious injuries.
