Lead: Hantavirus Panic Is Starting to Feel Familiar

The media is reporting that people exposed to the hantavirus have disembarked from a cruise ship and are just roaming the earth freely now, ready to infect you too! Should you panic?

Well, let’s back up.

The story goes that people who have “tested positive” for the virus were let off the ship and traveled back to their home countries.

But what do we actually know about hantavirus testing? Does it have the same reliability problems and classification confusion that surrounded Covid testing?

Hantavirus tests are specialized diagnostics, usually performed only on hospitalized patients or in targeted public health investigations. Early outbreak reporting also tends to blur the distinction between confirmed, suspected, and precautionary cases. So when headlines imply infected passengers are scattering across the globe, it’s fair to ask how many cases are actually lab-confirmed.

A few other things to note:

First, the social media presence and sourcing of this outbreak is….strange.

Next, hantavirus is not commonly known to spread between humans. If it is doing that now, that could indicate that the virus has been manipulated. Sound familiar?

Also, hantavirus is an RNA virus which means that ivermectin could be a possible therapeutic, according to some doctors. Will the government prevent us from exploring this again like it did during the Covid pandemic?

And finally, Moderna has been working on a vaccine for hantavirus since 2024.

Make of that what you will.

 Russia Warns of Retaliation After Zelensky Threatens Victory Day Drone Flyovers

Ukraine has stepped up drone attacks inside of Russia and Russian officials are now warning that they may retaliate against the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.

Russia warned foreign diplomats to leave Kiev and also warned that Ukrainian President Zelensky had better not make good on his threats to the May 9th Victory Day celebration.

On Monday, Zelensky spoke in front of the European Political Community in Yerevan and made threats to fly drones over Russian parades this weekend.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that Russia is taking this very seriously.

“We are not speaking from the position of aggression, we are speaking from the position of an inevitable response to aggression. This is how the statement of the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation dated May 4 and our next steps should be interpreted. It definitely doesn’t need to be hushed up. It should be taken very, very seriously,” she said.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced a truce on May 8–9 in honor of the celebration of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. By this, they are referring to what we call World War II.

In Russia and much of the former Soviet sphere, World War II is commonly referred to as the “Great Patriotic War.” The term emphasizes the Soviet Union’s defense of its homeland against the Nazi invasion and the enormous human cost of the conflict. The Soviet Union lost an estimated 27 million people during the war, and Victory Day on May 9 remains one of the most important national holidays in Russia.

This Isn’t About Recess. It’s About Control.

What if the modern classroom wasn’t broken… but built this way?

A new documentary, Death of Recess on Angel, pulls back the curtain on who’s shaping today’s education system—and why things keep moving in the same direction despite declining outcomes.

Test scores fall. Funding rises. And the parts of childhood that once mattered—movement, freedom, unstructured time—are quietly disappearing.

This film connects the dots most people never see.

It’s not just about schools.
It’s about who influences the next generation—and who gets left out.

That’s why platforms like Angel matter—bringing stories most outlets won’t touch.

And don’t miss this recent segment about the Scofield reference Bible that so many evangelicals use to justify their support of Israel. Do you think they know that it was funded by Wall Street elitists and that Cyrus Scofield was a liar, a thief, a deadbeat dad, and a philanderer?

This giant squid is trending because it was discovered by researchers in Western Australia.

Ted Turner is trending because the founder of CNN died on Wednesday at the age of 87.

Trader Joe’s is trending because the grocery chain announced that it will sell new insulated totes, starting on May 20. If you didn’t already know, people go crazy for these, myself included. I don’t need any more of them but they’re only $3.99 and I just can’t help myself.
