Meteorite That Crashed Into Georgia Home Is Older Than Earth, Scientists Reveal

A meteorite that recently crashed through the roof of a U.S. home has been found to be older than Earth itself, according to scientists.

NASA confirmed the object blazed across the Georgia sky in broad daylight on June 26 before exploding.

A fragment from the meteorite struck a house in McDonough, where researchers from the University of Georgia later conducted an analysis.

According to CBS, their examination revealed the meteorite likely formed around 4.56 billion years ago — approximately 20 million years before Earth came into existence.

The dramatic event was witnessed by hundreds across Georgia and neighboring states, many of whom reported a bright fireball and a loud sonic boom.

Though the meteorite slowed and shrank during its descent, it was still moving at over 1 km per second when it smashed through the Henry County home’s roof.

Scientists received multiple fragments from the impact site for study.

“This particular meteor that entered the atmosphere has a long history before it made it to the ground of McDonough,” said Scott Harris, a University of Georgia geologist.

Using optical and electron microscopy, Harris’s team determined the object to be a chondrite — the most common type of stony meteorite, which NASA notes typically dates back 4.56 billion years.

The homeowner says small traces of space dust are still turning up around the property. The McDonough meteorite is now the 27th to be documented in Georgia.

“This is something that used to be expected once every few decades and not multiple times within 20 years,” Harris explained

“Modern technology, in addition to an attentive public, is going to help us recover more and more meteorites.”

Harris plans to publish detailed findings on the meteorite’s composition and velocity, research he says will improve understanding of potential asteroid threats.

“One day there will be an opportunity, and we never know when it’s going to be, for something large to hit and create a catastrophic situation. If we can guard against that, we want to,” he said.

‘No MR. NICE GUY’: Trump spills details of D.C. cleanup as ‘American Public is not going to put up with it any longer’

‘Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again.’

Saying the American public “is not going to put up with it any longer,” President Donald Trump is now providing some details about cleaning up the nation’s capital city of Washington, D.C.

On Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said a news conference is slated for 10 a.m. Monday in the White House Press Briefing Room to address the matter.

“I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before,” the president began.

“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”

“It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier – Be prepared! There will be no “MR. NICE GUY.” We want our Capital BACK.”

In a follow-up message, Trump indicated the news conference “will not only involve ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nation’s Capital, but will also be about Cleanliness and the General Physical Renovation and Condition of our once beautiful and well maintained Capital.

“We are not going to allow people to spend $3.1 Billion Dollars on fixing up a building, like the Federal Reserve, which could have been done in a far more elegant and time sensitive manner for $50 to $100 Million Dollars. The Renovation would have actually been better, and we would have saved $3 Billion Dollars, Traffic Jams, and never-ending Construction.”

“The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive.”

“The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer. Just like I took care of the Border, where you had ZERO Illegals coming across last month, from millions the year before, I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN!

“Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again. Thank you for your attention to this matter – See you tomorrow at 10 A.M.!”

House Oversight Committee to Gather Evidence About Biden’s Mental Decline That Could Invalidate His Pardons and Executive Orders

Some of Joe Biden’s pardons and executive orders may soon be invadlidated.

In an interview with Just The News, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer has said they are planning to gather evidence about Joe Biden’s mental decline that may invalidate official actions while he was in office.

“It’s questionable whether or not it’s legal to use an autopen on a legal document, but what’s not questionable is if the President of the United States had no idea what was being signed with using the autopen in his name,” Comer explained.

“That’s not legal,” he continued.  “I think at the end of the day, our investigation … could be used as evidence in trying to overturn some of those pardons and some of the executive orders, because the autopen was used so frequently … after that debate.”

President Trump reacted to Comer’s remarks on Truth Social.

“THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!” he wrote.

Back in March, it was revealed that Biden had used an autopen to sign many of his pardons and executive orders, leading Trump to declare them “void and invalidated.”

While many of Biden’s executive orders have already been undone, among those he has pardoned include his son Hunter, the infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, the treasonous former Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley and the disgraced former Wymong Congresswoman Liz Cheney.

Trump wrote at the time:

The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen.

In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden.

He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level.

The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

HERE WE GO: Trump Declares Biden’s ‘Autopen’ Pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT”

However, Trump’s declaration has yet to be legally resolved, meaning the pardons remain valid for the time being.

Remains of Three 9/11 Victims Identified Nearly 24 Years After The Attack

Officials in New York City have confirmed the identification of three additional victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, thanks to advances in DNA analysis.

The remains were identified as those of Ryan D. Fitzgerald, a 26-year-old currency trader; Barbara A. Keating, a 72-year-old retired nonprofit executive; and a third woman whose identity has been withheld at her family’s request.

According to the city’s medical examiner, the breakthrough came from enhanced DNA testing applied to tiny fragments recovered from the World Trade Center site more than two decades ago in the aftermath of the al-Qaeda hijackings.

“Each new identification testifies to the promise of science and sustained outreach to families despite the passage of time,” New York chief medical examiner Dr. Jason Graham said in a statement.

“We continue this work as our way of honoring the lost.”

Barbara Keating’s son, Paul, told The New York Post that the medical examiner’s office for “still working their ass off” to bring closure to the victims and their families.

“And I don’t know how to react to that. It’s just an amazing feat, gesture – it’s more than that because they’ve been doing it as their life for 24 years,” Paul Keating, 61, told The Post.

“We’re talking about moving six blocks of Manhattan to Staten Island and going through it milligram by milligram for 24 years.

”I mean, isn’t that amazing to you. No one’s ever done something like that for me, my family ever and I couldn’t thank them enough.”

Almost 3,000 people were killed when terrorists flew passenger planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.

In the years since, the city’s medical examiner’s office has worked to match human remains to those who died, with new identifications still being made as recently as last year.

Advances in forensic science have allowed specialists to revisit and test bone and tissue fragments that were badly damaged by fire, weather, and other environmental conditions.

“We hope the families receiving answers from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner can take solace in the city’s tireless dedication to this mission,” said New York Mayor Eric Adams in a statement.
