Some say it may be from an LRAD by law enforcement, others say it’s broadcast by vehicle the explosion detonated from.
No one knows for sure at the moment.

A large explosion was reported in downtown Nashville early Friday morning.
The blast was felt across much of Davidson County around 6:30 a.m. Metro police said the explosion has been linked to a vehicle outside 166 Second Avenue N.
The explosion is under investigation by Metro police and federal authorities. During a press conference, Metro police said they believe the explosion was an “intentional act.” Officers were investigating the report of a suspicious vehicle when the explosion occurred.
Three people have been taken to the hospital, but officials say none of the injuries have been reported as critical.

Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey shared a third annual Christmas Eve video Thursday that left many wondering whether he knew how to read the room.
The nearly 2½-minute YouTube video, which he also posted on his Twitter feed, featured Spacey, 61, addressing the camera directly while walking in an unidentified park.
“What would Christmas Eve be without a message from me?” he said, kicking off the video in the Southern accent of his former “House of Cards” character, Frank Underwood, as he also did in bizarre holiday videos in 2019 and 2018.
“Listen, a lot of people have reached out to me this past year and have shared their own struggles. And my ability to be there for them has really only been possible because of my own difficulties,” he said, alluding to prior sexual assault allegations leveled against the Oscar-winning actor. Spacey is currently facing a lawsuit from “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp, 49, and another man, identified as C.D., who accused him of making sexual advances toward them in separate incidents when they were each underage. Rapp said he was 14 when his incident occurred.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — It was the ultimate success story of China Inc. 2.0: A private-sector technology start-up became an Internet juggernaut that conquered the Chinese market and set its sights on the world.
But like in the folk tale, Alibaba first struck gold — and then met trouble.
Chinese regulators announced a multipronged antitrust investigation Thursday into its most successful Internet company, making moves that could potentially break up Alibaba’s sprawling e-commerce business or splinter its highly lucrative financial services affiliate.

Thousands of lorries were still stuck at a former airport near Dover, Europe’s busiest truck port on Wednesday, December 24, despite traffic starting to flow again across the Channel between Britain and France.
Huge queues of trucks were parked up at Manston, 20 miles away from Dover, in the south east county of Kent, with a ‘help’ sign made from traffic cones visible from the air.
France and many other countries halted passenger traffic from Britain because of an outbreak of a new variant of the COVID-19 virus identified by British authorities.
London and Paris negotiated a deal to allow certain categories of people to travel from Britain to France.
Thousands of trucks are waiting to cross the Channel with all drivers now required to test negative for Covid-19 before being allowed to proceed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci now says as much as 90 percent of the population may need to get vaccinated or infected to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 — admitting in a new interview that he has been intentionally raising the bar based, in part, on what he thinks the country is ready to hear.
“We really don’t know what the real number is,” the nation’s top infectious disease expert told the New York Times.
“I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.”
The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases acknowledged that he’s been intentionally upping that number as science’s understanding of the virus has changed — and as Americans have become more confident in coronavirus vaccines.
Unreal.

Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly said in a phone interview that he has been deliberately changing his public statements regarding the COVID-19 pandemic because he didn’t think people were ready to hear his true beliefs, according to the New York Times.
Fauci has been slowly increasing the number of Americans he says need to be vaccinated for the U.S. to reach “herd immunity” in public statements, the New York Times reported Thursday morning. He reportedly told the Times he has done so “partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”
This has been a rough year. Between the cheating, the fraud and the small arms fire and that’s just COVID – the rest of the year kinda sucked too. But most of us survived it and that’s what counts.
This is treason. Pure and simple. The president, whether you like him or not is the CiC. Having ANY strategy conversations of any kind with the aim of keeping him/her in the dark is absolutely insane.

Pentagon and Washington-area military leaders are on red alert, wary of what President Donald Trump might do in his remaining days in office. Though far-fetched, ranking officers have discussed what they would do if the president declared martial law. And military commands responsible for Washington DC are engaged in secret contingency planning in case the armed forces are called upon to maintain or restore civil order during the inauguration and transition period. According to one officer who spoke to Newsweek on condition of anonymity, the planning is being kept out of sight of the White House and Trump loyalists in the Pentagon for fear that it would be shut down.

A group of states joined a U.S. Supreme Court battle that could determine whether jurisdictions can tax the income of remote workers who are no longer commuting to the office.
New Jersey, along with Connecticut, Hawaii and Iowa, submitted an amicus brief on Tuesday in a lawsuit that challenges the authority of states to tax nonresidents’ income while they’ve been working from home.
At the center of the controversy is a court case between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The Bay State has been taxing New Hampshire residents who have been working remotely since the pandemic, spurring the Granite State to file suit against Massachusetts in October.

House Republicans on Thursday blocked a Democratic attempt to pass $2,000 direct payments to Americans, as the fate of the massive coronavirus relief package passed by Congress earlier in the week hangs in the balance.
The Democrats moved to increase the size of the checks after President Donald Trump threatened to oppose the $2 trillion pandemic aid and federal funding bill because it included only $600 in direct payments rather than $2,000.

Dr. Deborah Birx said she took her Thanksgiving jaunt to Delaware because her parents were so down in the dumps, they “stopped eating and drinking” — a justification ripped by people who said it was her coronavirus restrictions that prevented them from seeing their own dying loved ones.
In her interview with Newsy, in which the White House coronavirus task force coordinator revealed she plans to retire over the scandal of breaking her own travel guidance, Birx complained about how her family had been suffering over her own guidelines.
“My parents stopped eating and drinking because they were so depressed,” the 64-year-old complained to Newsy.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Wednesday that 1 million people in the United States have received their first vaccination against COVID-19, a threshold hit a little more than a week after Pfizer started distributing millions vaccines across the U.S.
The CDC referred to the vaccination threshold as an “early but important milestone” toward ending the pandemic, according to a statement shared by Director Dr. Robert Redfield. With cases surging, said the CDC, the milestone “comes at a critical time.”

On Wednesday night the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) withdrew a proposed guidance that would have reclassified millions of AR-15 style pistols and other weapons with braces that stabilize a user’s wrist when firing, to short-barreled rifles, which are much more heavily regulated.
The guidance, posted on the Federal Register on Dec. 18, would have reconsidered pistols with stabilizing braces to be “short-barreled rifles” which are a controlled class of weapon under the National Firearms Act. The change would have required gun owners to either turn in their firearms or register their pistols as NFA firearms and pay a $200 tax stamp if the weapon is accepted.

High level officials within the Justice Department are in “onging discussions” on whether to appoint a special counsel to take over the investigation into Hunter Biden, with some believing it is “warranted,” two sources familiar told Fox News Wednesday.
Attorney General Bill Barr, who resigned from his post last week and had his last day at the Justice Department Wednesday, said earlier this week that he had “not seen a reason” to appoint a special counsel to probe President-elect Joe Biden’s son, who is under federal investigation for his “tax affairs.”
