A federal judge in North Dakota on Monday stopped the Biden administration from implementing a new policy that would make certain illegal immigrants eligible for government-backed health care coverage. U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor granted a request to block a new policy from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that would allow individuals given Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) status to enroll in Obamacare. Traynor said that Kansas and the 18 Republican attorney generals who sued the Biden administration were likely to succeed and gave them a stay against the policy.  Traynor said that CMS broke the law earlier this year when it changed the definition of people “lawfully present” in the United States to include DACA recipients. Those with DACA status crossed illegally into America as minors with their parents and were shielded from deportation via an executive order from President Barack Obama.  “The authority granted to CMS by the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is to ascertain whether an individual meets the requirements for lawful status. It by no means allows the agency to circumvent congressional authority and redefine the term ‘lawfully present,’” Traynor wrote.  “As it currently stands, the ACA does not allow federal healthcare subsidies or coverage for aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States,” he added.  Traynor also agreed with the Republican attorneys general that the policy would encourage illegal aliens to remain in their states with the draw of health care.  The decision was praised by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who led the suit against the policy.  “Big win for the rule of law. Congress never intended that illegal aliens should receive Obama care benefits,” he said. “Indeed, two laws prohibit them from receiving such benefits. The Biden administration tried to break those laws. But we fought back, and defeated the Justice Department.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The other states that were part of the suit included Ohio, Idaho,  Nebraska,  South  Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Texas, Florida, and Arkansas. They argued that the rule from the Biden administration was arbitrary and capricious, and would incentivize illegal immigration.  In response to the ruling, CMS said that it was reviewing the decision but could not comment further.  The rule change was opposed by President-elect Donald Trump, with campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt decrying it in May as “unfair and unsustainable.”  “Joe Biden‘s handouts for illegal immigrants are especially devastating to Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and union workers who are forced to watch their jobs and public resources stolen by people who illegally entered our country,” Leavitt, Trump’s incoming press secretary, said at the time. Last month, another judge struck down a parole program from the Biden administration that would have granted legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.

Images of a pink orb floating in the sky have gone viral after the unexplained phenomenon appeared over Egypt for several hours, and then disappeared.The orb, which was viewed tens of thousands of times, showed a large object floating still in the sky, sometimes trailing white residue. It was first seen early Sunday morning, and several social media users were baffled by its appearance.The phenomenon prompted several theories about what could have caused it, some people suggesting it could have been created by other celestial bodies, such as Jupiter. Initial reports indicated that some users thought the orb was the moon until it changed color."This is Jupiter. Apparently, it is correct that Jupiter enters between the Earth and the Sun after dawn," one sleuth wrote.Another person wrote, on Reddit: "On last Sunday morning nearly at 6:30 a.m. many people in Alexandria of Egypt had seen a strange cloudy pink spot on the sky. Witnesses on average reported that at first it was white as the size of the moon, and most people had mistaken it as the moon itself, then it grew larger and later it diffused as a smoke very fast."One man explained as it was an explosion without a sound. Another one said that there were white lights in the middle of it. The phenomenon continued for nearly 5 minutes and has been seen in Alexandria, Marsa Matruh, Menofia, and even in Libya."Does anyone have a logical or scientific explanation for this? The images are from different sources on Facebook and X (Twitter) and no other international source has reported it yet..."The Reddit poster added that it could have been created by a rocket launch, which would explain the white residue created by the image.Similar images have previously been attributed to SpaceX rocket launches, which leave red-pink vapor behind as they leave the atmosphere. Rockets leaving the ionosphere can cause gas molecules to create an aurora effect, though it normally isn't as circular as the shapes seen on Sunday.Source: NewsweekVIDEO: MYSTERIOUS PINK ORB RECORDED OVER EGYPT**********MOTHMAN COMMUNION - CONTACT BEFORE DISASTER! | Join Us - LIVE CHAT - Q & A (REMARKABLE ENCOUNTER!)PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A witness to the 9/11 attack on the WTC eventually ends up near City Hall where they observe a strangely dressed man surrounded by around 30 Men in Black. Very bizarre!The following account was forwarded to me:"As crazy as this is gonna sound I saw these Men in Black on 9/11. I worked at the NYSE and after a few hours, after the planes hit some of us left the job to start trying to get home and get to some clear air. All of a sudden we heard planes flying overhead and we all ran in opposite directions not knowing if we were being attacked again.I was then all alone and was from what I could tell by City Hall. By the City Hall steps were about 30 men all dressed in black with sunglasses on, their black suits did not look dusted with any weird debris. They were with a man who had his hands behind his back as if arrested. This man was wearing a white shirt and tie with a metallic purple vest and pants, and a lot of visible gold jewelry. He looked like he just come from the cast of a Broadway play.Something wanted me to call out to them until I heard a small voice tell me, "Don't yell out to them." These men finally looked at me and one by one stepped in front of this man and all were looking at me as if saying to me don't look over here anymore.Suddenly a police car pulled up, put me in the car, and took me to a bus on 68 Street where they were taking people uptown. I've seen strange things but damn this was more than strange. I was 30 years old when this happened."

I received a narrative from the submitter revolving around a theory that certain non-human entities may have the ability to manipulate human perception. What are your thoughts?The following narrative was forwarded to me:"John Keel touched upon elements of this during his Mothman investigation. I believe he was on to something important that I'd like to expand upon just a bit.I think it is highly unlikely that any of what we're experiencing regarding alien beings, UFOs, and cryptids are "real" as we know things to be real. I believe that all of these are constructs that are made "on-the-fly" by some kind of entity, meant to be seen by us, and then dissolved when its purpose is fulfilled.Also, every unexpected encounter with aliens or some other creature, where a person or group of persons stumbled accidentally upon some kind of activity by aliens or cryptids, was not an accident at all, but rather planned and executed like a stage play, the "actors" completely aware of the audience watching and the encounter conducted entirely for the human viewer(s).So what's the purpose?In my opinion, it's to allow for the temporary possession of a physical body. Please hear me out a bit further.I've watched and read about hundreds of encounters over the last 20 years and noticed a pattern. It doesn't hold with every experience, but it seems to hold with a LOT of them, especially the abduction cases.There seem to be two categories of "things" that folks see during an encounter. One I call "dazzlers." The other I call "frighteners." Both seem to serve the same purpose.To appreciate this hypothesis in full, it's necessary to imagine that an entity can create at will, a physical object, have it perform a function, and then dissolve it just as easily as it was created.The entities may also have the ability to manipulate human perception.An encounter often happens in this manner:A subject or subjects are traveling alone in an isolated area. There will suddenly be a "dazzler," which is an object of either indescribable fascination or something without a reference for the viewer, or a "frightener," which is a creature or being intended to instill fear. Some sightings are a combination of both.But the purpose of either of these manifestations is to get the subject to focus on it intently, with the exclusion of anything else in the mind of the viewer. The viewer must become fixated and riveted on the inexplicable thing it's now witnessing.That 100% focus is necessary, I believe, for the next step.Shortly after the initial moments of seeing this "thing," and once the subject has focused on it intently, they report losing consciousness. I believe that it's at that exact moment that the subject is rendered unconscious by the entity that created the illusion, as this focus is a necessity to subvert the subject's consciousness.The entity then occupies the subject's physical body.To do what, I do not know.But after the entity is either done with its intended action or is ejected by the dominant personality, it leaves the unknowing host.I also believe the relatively recent phenomenon of recalling abductions under hypnosis is a false recollection implanted by the entity, as a further measure of cover.If you think it through, the entire alien/cryptid zeitgeist is a perfect misdirection. If possession were the real purpose, humans would never suspect that is what's truly happening. A few odd creatures in the woods, some "alien" stagecraft, and manufactured objects soaring overhead will keep the distraction going for generations. The entities could continue unimpeded with their temporary "occupation" of any of us that they wish to target.Of course, I could be wrong about this. But if I am wrong, then what we're left with are hundreds of different types of aliens, from lizardmen to Greys, to Nordics and more, none of whom have ever touched down in full view to a large number of us and introduced themselves. Rather, they've remained nebulous and shadowy. With not a single defector introducing itself to humanity to warn us, perhaps, of the ill intentions of its brethren.As well as hundreds, perhaps thousands of odd cryptids such as helicopter-sized insects, various giant apemen, dinosaurs, monstrous snakes, animal-man hybrids, mermaids, and other inexplicable sea creatures roaming through the waters and woods, no remains or habitats of which have ever been found.I believe strongly that we've all fallen victim to a flim-flam. There are no aliens or cryptids, but rather entities (or even a single being) with abilities and awareness beyond our own, easily manipulating us to disguise the true intent. As corny as it sounds, the true intent is possession."
