Knoxville Police Department, Tennessee sadly announced the passing of Detective Mel Pierce.

In 2025, Pierce was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, which he bravely fought until his passing on the morning of April 2, 2026

Pierce, 53, was sworn in as a KPD police officer in July 1996. During his career, he served as a patrol officer in the East District and a School Resource Officer before transitioning to the Investigations Bureau in the early 2000s. In the Investigations Bureau, he shined as a skilled detective that brought justice to countless victims in Knoxville and beyond. 

Pierce impacted untold lives during his 30-year career. He was nominated for and awarded Officer of the Month several times and was recognized by police departments across the state for his investigative efforts with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Most recently, Pierce served as a detective in the Property Crimes Unit, where he specialized in theft and larceny investigations."

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi “always seemed like she was stuck on the one-yard line right there, but not quite there—like, Pam, do something. Arrest someone. Hold someone accountable.”

Rob Finnerty remarked on former Attorney General Pam Bondi being ousted from her role.

Newsom's California:

“They sent me letters—let’s be clear—letters throughout this tragedy denying me for various things. That’s, to me, a subscription to a false reality.”

Rachel Darvish, who evacuated from Pacific Palisades, calls out insurance companies, as many California fire victims are still fighting for relief.

NEW: Hundreds of teens gathered in downtown Detroit Friday night as part of a trend known as a “teen takeover," according to MDN

The gathering led to chaotic scenes, multiple fights, and reports of a possible shot being fired. Officers made several detainments throughout the night, and buses were brought in to transport those detained from the scene.

“We the People” didn’t create a government to sit on the sidelines.

“…insure domestic Tranquility… provide for the common defense…”

That means protecting our country. Period.

If politicians won’t fund the Department of Homeland Security, they’re ignoring one of the most basic responsibilities in our Constitution.

Here’s a stunning view of the Pink Moon rising behind the Bay Bridge! 🌕🙌 This first full moon of spring is nicknamed the Pink Moon for the wildflowers that are blooming.

This is NOT AI… and it’s not a trick.

What you’re seeing over Fairbanks, Alaska is real aurora physics and real atmospheric chemistry… working together with precision.

A solar blast hit Earth’s magnetic field…
Charged particles got funneled straight into the upper atmosphere…
And then the chemistry took over.

Here’s what’s actually happening at the atomic level:

Oxygen atoms get excited by incoming electrons…
When they relax, they emit light at specific wavelengths:

Green (557.7 nm)… lower altitude oxygen
Deep red (630.0 nm)… higher altitude oxygen

Nitrogen molecules behave differently:

Excited N₂ and N₂⁺ emit pink, magenta, and purple tones…
That only shows up when the էնergy input is strong… like during a geomagnetic storm.

Good night to all! 😴
