Daily Mail ^ | 10/04/23 | Will Potter
The aviation industry has been rocked by reports thousands of jet-engine parts with fraudulent safety certificates have been installed onto passenger planes. Major airlines including American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines have pulled jets from their fleets as investigations into the potentially catastrophic faults are ongoing. The scandal has zeroed in on a dubious airplane parts supplier named AOG Technics, which allegedly mass-produced fake safety certificates in order to sell its engine parts to airlines. AOG Technics has also faced allegations it faked employees and was using stock photographs for fictitious staffers on LinkedIn, according to Bloomberg. Attempts to...

Billionaire hedge-fund manager Leon Cooperman nearly burst into tears Thursday over the future of America. Cooperman was talking about stocks he is invested in, noting he owns Microsoft but isn’t buying any more because of its price. That’s when Cooperman shifted gears to talk about his book and criticized Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s progressive outlook. “I’ve lived the American dream. I’m trying to convince people like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and AOC, don’t move away from capitalism. Capitalism is the best system. I get choked up when I talk about it because basically my father came to America at...

christophermellon.net ^ | Chris Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence
In 2017, Lue Elizondo and I made senior policymakers in the Administration and Congress aware that unidentified aircraft were routinely violating sensitive, restricted airspace off the East Coast of the U.S. This was soon confirmed on Capitol Hill by the testimony of U.S. Navy aviators. Although not as prolific elsewhere, it turned out that similar incidents were occurring near U.S. warships off the West Coast and over DoD test ranges in other parts of the country. Then, earlier this year, we learned that China sent an instrumented intelligence collection platform across the U.S. using a high-altitude balloon. It now appears...

The amount of total outstanding public debt on America’s balance sheet is soaring. Newly updated numbers from the government’s FiscalData platform show the country’s debt has surged by $57.2 billion in just four days. After surpassing the $32 trillion mark on June 16th, the total debt accumulated by the US has already jumped an additional $590 billion as of July 20th. In a new interview on Bloomberg TV, billionaire investor David Rubenstein says the US can only manage its ever-increasing pile of debt with inflation, which will further expand America’s income inequality gap. “When I left the White House under...

When James Hilton was a high school sophomore in Darien, Connecticut, his parents sent him to a psychiatrist because of the many problems he was having at school: He struggled to do his assignments, and then forgot to turn them in. He played the guitar in the school band, but it was agony to sit still for practice. “I rarely did my homework. I failed French freshman year,” he told me recently. “It was like a class clown kind of thing.” The psychiatrist diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder—ADHD—and prescribed a popular drug that, for almost three decades, has helped people...

Barbara Jean McNair (March 4, 1934 – February 4, 2007) was an American singer and theater, television, and film actress. McNair's career spanned over five decades in television, film, and stage. Spencer's Mountain is a 1963 American family drama film written, directed, and produced by Delmer Daves from the 1961 novel of the same name by Earl Hamner Jr. and starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara. The movie, although set in Wyoming rather than the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, is a forerunner (or early alternate version) of the television series The Waltons.

Chicago's wealthiest citizens are investing millions in its poorest neighborhoods in an attempt to help solve the city's spiraling crime crisis. Billionaire businessman James Crown, who leads the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago, has made it his goal to make Chicago 'the Safest Big City in America.'

Today, as part of its initiative under the Center for Legal Equality, America First Legal (AFL) asked the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to open a civil rights investigation into Alaska Air, Inc., for engaging in unlawful, discriminatory hiring practices. The publicly traded corporation has openly stated its commitment to racial equity in its operations, which unlawfully limits, segregates, and/or classifies applicants for employment based on race – a patent violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:

Transgender Missourians are posting heart-wrenching videos on social media about being forced to 'de-transition' once their sex-reassignment drugs are banned, under new rules set to come into force this week. Others are trading tips online about stockpiling the cross-sex hormones they need, or finding a telehealth doctor to help them once Attorney General Andrew Bailey's tight new emergency restrictions come into force on Thursday. Bailey's first-of-its-kind rule, introduced over fears of young people getting irreversible treatments in Missouri, impose numerous restrictions on both adults and children before they can receive puberty-blocking drugs, hormones, or surgeries. In one widely-shared TikTok video,...

FBI investigators have arrested Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old suspected of being behind the biggest US intelligence leak in nearly a decade. Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed that the National Guardsman had been arrested in North Dighton, Massachusetts 'without incident'. He said Teixeira will appear in a local court as part of the investigation into 'alleged unauthorized removal, retention and transmissions of classified national defense information.' He was a member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard and the leader of an online chat group where top secret Pentagon documents were published. It is the most embarrassing security...
 

Put Up Or Shut Up Time For America’s Troubled New Aircraft Carrier

Forbes ^ | 3/7/23 | Craig Hooper
As the Pentagon’s independent weapon tester, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), points out serious performance flaws aboard the U.S. Navy’s $13.3 billion USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) aircraft carrier, the U.S. Navy wants observers to believe the new supercarrier is ready for combat. The carrier, just entering the DOT&E’s Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) test-and-trials phase, is certainly capable of doing all the basic things carriers do—the ship can stay afloat, launch aircraft, and travel from port to port. But there is a big difference between basic operations and true battle-readiness.

Everything ends. A hard truth, because we are a sentimental species. We have pleasant memories of more hopeful times, and we yearn for a return of days that will never repeat. The future that the past promised us was never to be. A rocket powered tomorrow with monorails, a moon Hilton, and push button ease has been denied. The blue haired, “gender” confused, angry world of today was never part of yesterday’s tomorrow…. Had it been, I doubt any of us would have signed on for it. What future have we now? What kind of tomorrow is even possible after...

Republican Rubio tweeted: 'The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace. 'This is why I pushed to take this seriously and created a permanent UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena - equivalent to UFOs) task force two years ago.' Rubio is the Vice Chairman of the US Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence and has long pushed for a 'destigmatization' on UFO reporting. *snip* The object detected Sunday was described by defense officials as an unmanned 'octagonal structure' with 'potential surveillance capabilities' and strings attached to it. *snip* VanHerck said...

CNN ^ | 12/27/2022 | Zachary Cohen
The US Air Force is moving up its timeline for scrapping a small fleet of surveillance planes used to help take fentanyl pills off the streets, telling National Guard pilots they must fly their aircraft to the boneyard by the end of the month so they can be stripped for parts, according to documents obtained by CNN. The new plan to eliminate the twin-engine RC-26 aircraft months earlier than anticipated marks an escalation in the service’s quest to phase out the small yet heavily used fleet of planes despite its contributions to counter drug and border missions. It also comes...
 

What a Turkey! Hateful MSNBC Anchor Joy Reid Trashes Thanksgiving as a “Simplistic Fairytale” and Says America Was “Founded on Violence”

Millions of Americans today will gather around the kitchen table to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. For Joy Reid, though, this is just another day to bash our beloved nation. Reid opened her show last night by acknowledging Thanksgiving is a day of “cherished traditions” for millions of Americans who also enjoy “turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie.” But then she said this: “But it is also to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies. It is built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of...

WASHINGTON (TND) — Former First Lady Michelle Obama has reportedly revealed that she decided to straighten her hair during her husband's presidency because Americans were still "just getting adjusted" to the idea of having a Black family in the White House. Speaking with former TV show host Ellen DeGeneres at Washington D.C.'s Warner Theatre on Tuesday, Michelle Obama claimed she believed people in the United States "weren't ready" for her natural hair, according to The Washington Post. Michelle recalled considering styling her hair into braids, and then thought "nope, they’re not ready for it," the former first lady said during...

I haven't been online since the election, since I believe I'm watching the death of America and fair voting. Early voting/Mail in voting is riff with fraud. Do you think 2024 will be any better? I believe they will fraud vote again. We won't have a civil war because if we do, who'll be for us patriots? China and Russia will fight with the Socialists/Democrats to kill us. I'm glad I will be meeting GOD in 15 to 20 years, so I don't have to see what it will be like when my grandchildren are around. I guess my grandkids...

Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter's foreign business deals while he was Vice President, a new whistleblower with direct knowledge claims. The whistleblower has identified themselves to Senate investigators but asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals. The informant says they were party to a 2012 conference call involving then-VP Joe, Hunter, 52, his business partner Jeff Cooper, 53, late Senate majority leader Harry Reid and his son Key Reid, 48, who was also in business with Hunter. The Spring 2012 call was about Hunter, Key and Jeff's new venture into online gambling in Latin America, the...
