RFK Jr. launches independent bid for president, leaving Democratic race against Biden

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dropping out of the Democratic primary race against Biden to launch an independent campaign for president next year

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dropping out of the Democratic primary race against Joe Biden to launch an independent campaign for president next year, he said in a speech on Monday.

"Something is stirring in us. It says it doesn't have to be this way," he said. "People stop me everywhere: at airports and hotels and malls on the street and they remind me that this country is ready for a History-making change are ready. They are ready to reclaim their freedom, their independence. And that's why I'm here today. I'm here to declare myself an independent candidate … for president of the United States."

He added that he will leave the Democratic Party, as well -- the party that his uncle, father and family have symbolized for generations.

Radio Signals From An ‘Unique Object Astronomers Have Never Seen’ Are Repetition “Every 18.18 Minutes, Like Clockwork,”

According to Australian astronomers, a weird spinning object in the Milky Way has been identified that is unlike anything astronomers have ever seen. The object, which was first discovered by a university student working on his undergraduate thesis, emits a massive burst of radio waves three times each hour. The pulse occurs every 18.18 minutes, like clockwork,” according to astrophysicist Natasha Hurley-Walker, who headed the inquiry after the student was discovered using the Murchison Widefield Array telescope in Western Australia’s outback. While other things in the universe, such as pulsars, flicker on and off, Hurley-Walker claims that the frequency of 18.18 minutes has never been detected previously. Discovering this object was “kind of spooky for an astronomer,” Walker said. She added: “because there’s nothing known in the sky that does that.” The scientific community is now trying to figure out what they’ve discovered. They were able to establish a few facts after sort...

Exclusive: Hyundai discuss possible F1 entry

Hyundai Motorsport Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul says the firm is considering a range of options as it weighs up whether or not to join Formula 1. Abiteboul joined Hyundai in January after having served as Team Principal of the Renault F1 team from 2017 to 2020, leaving the French outfit shortly before its rebrand to Alpine. The Frenchman also had a stint as team boss at the now-defunct Caterham F1 team, and his background fuelled speculation that his appointment at Hyundai was a prelude to the Korean manufacturer looking to join F1. Speaking exclusively to TheFOXposts.Com on the sidelines of the WRC Croatia Rally, Abiteboul did not explicitly rule out Hyundai joining F1, but stressed that the marque's current motorsport programme in WRC remains its priority, citing the now-established ties between Hyundai and rallying. "The [Hyundai Motor] Group is actively looking at different programmes right now," said Abiteboul. "Since 10 years ago, we are in the...
