JASPER COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - A truck hauling “aggressive” monkeys overturned in Mississippi on Tuesday.

According to authorities, the Rhesus monkeys were on their way to a testing facility in Florida after being at Tulane University.

The monkeys were 40 pounds and were “aggressive,” authorities said. They were also carrying hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID.

In a Tuesday afternoon update, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office said all of the escaped monkeys, except for one, “have been destroyed.”

The sheriff’s department is still looking for one of the monkeys that is still on the loose.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is on site with local law enforcement.

The incident happened on I-59 near mile marker 117, which is north of Heidelberg, Mississippi.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office says that Tulane University has been notified and will send a team to pick up the monkeys on Wednesday.

If states are unable to pick up the temporary costs until the federal government eventually reopens, will the lack of that amount of money that is usually spread out across 42 million recipients across the country drive food prices up, down, or leave them unchanged?

How will widespread theft at supermarkets affect prices?

The justices used the doctrine, a judicially created method of reading statutes, to thwart several major Biden programs.

The Supreme Court used the “major questions doctrine” to reject much of the Biden administration’s agenda, including its efforts to address climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic and student debt. The court’s commitment to the doctrine will be tested next week when it hears arguments about President Trump’s tariffs program.

The doctrine requires Congress to use plain and direct language to authorize sweeping economic actions by the executive branch. The 1977 law that Mr. Trump is relying on, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, might seem to fail that test, as it does not feature the word “tariffs” or similar terms like “duties,” “customs,” “taxes” or “imposts.”

Nor is there any question that the tariffs will have vast economic consequences, measured in the trillions of dollars. The sums involved are far larger than the roughly $500 billion at issue in President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s student loan forgiveness program, which Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the majority, called “staggering by any measure.”

t seems poised to rule in President Trump’s favor on whether he can fire government officials for no reason, a leading originalist scholar has issued a provocative dissent.

US President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting at the White House AFP News

Donald Trump, 79, has spent his second presidency insisting he is in perfect health, yet he has also been strangely fixated on his own mortality and prospects in the afterlife. This contradiction has fuelled online speculation for months.

Now, the president has finally admitted to reporters that his recent, mysterious visit to Walter Reed medical centre included an MRI scan, an examination far outside a 'routine' physical.

What Is Donald Trump Hiding About His Health?

Speaking on board Air Force One, President Donald Trump finally provided a reason for his second medical examination this year. He had previously dodged questions about the visit, telling reporters to 'ask the doctors' why he went to the medical facility.

This time, he was declarative, if not detailed. 'I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect,' he bragged, in yet another assertion of his perfect health.

'I gave you the full results,' he continued. 'We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.' The White House has not stated what part of the president's body was scanned or the reason for the test.

The 'Very Weird' Visit That Has Critics Questioning Donald Trump

The president's admission has only thrown fuel on the fire of online speculation. Harry Sisson, a left-wing influencer, branded the comments as 'very weird.'

'WOAH: Trump just accidentally let it slip that he got an MRI scan at Walter Reed recently,' Sisson wrote on X. 'His team claimed his visit was for a regular physical but MRI scans are not done at a routine physical. They're for diagnosing serious conditions. Very weird...'

The president's team has not yet clarified why the MRI was needed during what they had described as a regular physical.

'Best Reports Ever Seen': Donald Trump Brags Amid Afterlife Fixation

Despite the concern, Donald Trump continued to brag about his health while on the presidential plane, claiming that doctors said he has 'some of the best reports they've ever seen.'

'I think they gave you a very conclusive – nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you,' he said. 'And if I didn't think it was going to be good, either, I would let you know negatively, I wouldn't run. I'd do something. But the doctor said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen.'

This bravado stands in stark contrast to the president's other recent comments. During his second presidency, Trump has repeatedly and bizarrely questioned his own chances of getting into Heaven and regularly talks about going on to the afterlife.

He has openly conceded that he has doubts about whether he will see the pearly gates.

'I think I'm not maybe heaven-bound,' he told reporters on Air Force One on October 13. Trump also said that he does not think 'there's anything going to get me in heaven.'

This fixation on mortality is paired with other physical health controversies. The president has often been seen with heavy, mysterious bruising on the back of his hand, which is frequently smudged or appears concealed with make-up.

While Trump's physician, Dr Sam Barbabella, said that the bruising was caused by the president shaking people's hands throughout the day and from taking aspirin, the explanation has not satisfied critics.

Tsident was also publicly diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition which prevents blood flowing easily from the legs to the heart and often causes patients to suffer from swollen ankles.

Reddit died when they killed 3rd party apps and removed mods who protested, but it has been on the decline for a long time since Spez decided that reddit has to be transformed into something that shits money for him

We are forced to use cars or aircraft

That's cool.

When I was an intelligence analyst in the military I witnessed the President of the United States ignore the entire intelligence community when they indicated to him that there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks and there was no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq.

Then I saw that same administration fabricate intelligence indicating the contrary

Then I saw that same administration blame faulty intelligence when no WMDs were found, blaming the entire intelligence community in the process

They somehow managed to ruin the entire IC's credibility when they were right to begin with

That was pretty unbelievable

I personally find it hilarious that they would rather beg than enact the regulations necessary to prevent the problem from happening in the first place

More guns flow into Mexico than flow into the U.S. — a fact that Vice President J.D. Vance was corrected on during the vice-presidential debate.
