[Aircraft Spots @AircraftSpots]

USAF F-16s SURF31 & 32 scrambled from March ARB, CA, early this morning (Pacific Time) to identify and intercept an “unidentified object” heading northeast in the upper flight levels over Northern California. A civilian cargo aircraft was able to visually confirm the object “glowing and dimming” before the F-16s arrived on station.

USAF KC-135R GASMN03 provided tanker support.

Epigenetics and the Biology of Recovery

In Episode 25, host Chad LaComb sits down with Dr. Lou Wing, a molecular biologist and pastor, to explore the groundbreaking science of epigenetics and its profound intersection with faith. Dr. Wing, author of The Genes of Eden, explains that while we may inherit predispositions for addiction, our genes are not our destiny.

We dive into the concept of Somatic Theology, the belief that our bodies are the "temple" where spiritual disciplines like prayer and meditation manifest as physical resilience. From the "Original Sin" of DNA methylation to the neuroplasticity of "progressive sanctification," this episode offers a roadmap for anyone looking to understand how a life in Christ literally rewires the brain and body for recovery.

Don't forget to Like, Follow, and Share. Addiction is the secret many families keep. Let's bring the light of faith and science to the conversation.

In June 2005, more than sixty federal firefighters were deployed to suppress a wildfire burning on the Nevada Test Site in a basin contaminated by two decades of nuclear rocket engine testing without radiological briefing, without respiratory protection, and without the institutional safeguards that should have protected them.

Only one man, our crew captain, had the foresight to document the exposure. He filed Occupational Exposure Forms for all thirty-two members of our crew. He died of cancer years later. The Forest Service has never followed up.

I was one of those thirty-two.

I wrote this article because silence is the mechanism of institutional erasure. You don't need a conspiracy. You don't need a cover-up. You just need silence and the passage of time.

Since publication, corroborating witnesses from a second crew on the same fire have come forward with details that escalate the story significantly, acute symptoms on the fireline, selective decontamination by the DOE, and radioactive areas deliberately withheld from our operational maps.

Veterans of earlier fires on contaminated federal land are reporting the same pattern: deployment without adequate protection, no follow-up, and an extraordinary number of their peers dying from cancer.

This is Version 2.0 of The Atomic Fire. It reflects what we've learned.

If you're a fire leader, read this and ask yourself what you would document. If you're a firefighter, read this and ask yourself what you're breathing. If you know someone who was on a fire at the Nevada Test Site, Los Alamos, or any other contaminated federal facility: I want to hear from them.

The conversation is the mission. Share it.

Watched this FOX40 segment on PTSD and violence, important nuance here. PTSD itself rarely leads to violence, but combined with substance abuse or TBI, risks increase. Worth understanding, especially for vets and first responders. https://t.co/zy4u8UAtzt

My crew exposed $100,000,000 in California fraud in one day. But it’s so much darker than stolen taxpayer cash. California is using that money to rig American elections.

Here’s How: California leverages their homeless crisis to funnel billions of federal dollars into the state to help homeless Americans. But Whistleblowers tell us +60% of the ‘homeless services’ are actually going to criminal aliens. These illegals live rent-free in long term homeless housing, drive luxury cars and live lavish lifestyles. The shelters guard the criminal aliens from ICE deportations.

But why pack your state with homeless illegals? One word: Power.

California population loss is set to cost the state major electoral votes in the next election. The only remedy is to pack more bodies into the state ahead of the 2030 census. The census counts persons, not citizens. The federally funded ‘free homeless services’ act as magnets for criminal aliens who fraudulently inflate population numbers. There are 2.5 million illegals in California alone.

Finally, California makes it a criminal act to conduct citizenship tests at the shelters, hospitals or the voting booth — and now the fraud is complete.

California leaders are trafficking in human misery, intentionally destroying the once great state for power — and using federal tax dollars to do it.

This must be stopped. Now.

Share this video like wildfire! Americans are getting really sick and tired of watching our hard work and taxes go to pay foreign fraudsters to rig elections for corrupt politicians.

If the Trump Administration cut off the funds, the California homeless industrial complex would collapse tomorrow.

Time for them to pay.

I was struck by the specific request in Acts 4:29. The church is under attack, and they ask God: '...give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.' And verse 31 says that after they prayed this, 'the meeting place shook.'

​It makes me wonder if the reason our lives (and our churches) aren't 'shaking' with power is because we are praying the wrong prayers. God didn't shake the room when they were comfortable; He shook it when they asked for the power to be dangerous for the Gospel. It teaches me that God answers prayers for boldness with immediate power. #jesusfreak

Bitterness destroys relationships.
Bitterness destroys momentum.
Bitterness destroys potential.
Bitterness destroys a good thing.
Bitterness destroys businesses.
Bitterness is infectious.
Bitterness is nasty.

Avoid being bitter at all cost!

The heartbreaking news about Charlie Kirk today marks a profound and sorrowful moment; I haven't felt such a jarring shift in our country since 9/11. While my heart prays that this tragedy could somehow be a turning point for truth and righteousness, I am reminded that scripture warns of such challenging and perilous days to come.

​Charlie was a fearless voice for his convictions, and his loss is a sobering call for us to be all the more intentional to redeem the time we have, living with purpose and faith. My deepest prayers are with his wife, his young children, and his entire family. May God grant them comfort in this unimaginable grief.
