Cockpit audio transmission can be heard at the link. Pilot: "Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us," the pilot is heard saying in the recording. "I hate to say this, but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing - moving really fast right over the top of us. "Following a debrief with our Flight Crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21."

A Russian psychologist tested a "non-literate" from East of the Ural mountains about 1929, not an illiterate where other people read, but a member of a group where literacy was unknown because of primitive living conditions. The shrink found that the answer to "are you a good person?" was, not to say what he did that was individually good, but that his social group considered him well integrated. (Using a conventional intelligence test like we've all taken, with 4 objects, "crowbar" (all metal), "hammer" [wood handled], "saw" [wood handled] and "piece of wood"-- where of us who have gone thru...

[Catholic Caucus] Mourning the End of a 1500-year-old Tradition: Private Masses in Saint Peter's Basilica There's nothing to add to this:Nothing, except this: this order was by FRANCIS (Jorge Mario Bergoglio). He ordered it. He may have used an irrelevant machine cog in the wrong dicastery to initial the document, but it all came from him. Seeing those throngs of young priests celebrating Mass after Mass in the many altars of the Vatican Basilica, a tradition that dated from the very first ages of side altars in the Old Basilica built by Constantine, was obviously something that rattled him.Fine:...

Former President Donald Trump will return to social media within the next few months — and with his own service, his top adviser said Sunday. Jason Miller told Fox News’ ​”Media Buzz” that the former president will be back in two to three months, and will launch a new platform that he claimed would “completely redefine the game” and attract tens of millions of users.

McCammond had been set to take the top job at Teen Vogue until her past tweets came back to haunt her A senior Teen Vogue staffer who posted a letter expressing concern about Alexi McCammond for past tweets racist against Asian Americans used the N-word in tweets from over 10 years ago herself. Christine Davitt, senior social media manager at Teen Vogue in 2009 wrote two tweets to a friend identifying him as a "ni--a," and in 2010 used the word "ni--a" in a joke tweet. The friend appears to be White.

The media can no longer cover up the Biden administration’s failures handling the migrant crisis at the U.S. border with Mexico. It’s not that the establishment media agrees with the successful border policies of President Trump, it is that Biden has botched their long-desired rollback of Trump’s policies so thoroughly and incompetently they feel betrayed and are lashing out. ABC News’ Martha Raddatz reported from near the U.S.-Mexico border in a clip that aired on Sunday and featured an interview with an unidentified “asylum seeker” crossing from Mexico to the United States illegally. The migrant told ABC News that he...

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™ (Natural Health / Success / Freedom), discusses the key question at the heart of our current situation. Your feedback is welcomed!

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said Sunday that he thinks he is "close" to securing the Republican votes needed to overcome a Senate filibuster to advance a key immigration measure that would provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. "I've been stopped by the filibuster five times from passing it. I had a majority, I didn't have 60 votes. Do I have 60 now? I think I'm close," the Illinois Democrat told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" Sunday. Durbin, the Senate's second-ranking Democrat, said he plans to...

A senior-level law enforcement source with U.S.Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Rio Grande Valley revealed the implementation of a plan to release migrant families soon after apprehension. The plan radically changes how illegal migrants have been processed in the past and orders Border Patrol agents to quickly release migrant families without notifying the immigration courts or issuing a Notice to Appear. “This is insane, it is another pull factor that will overwhelm us,” a CBP official with knowledge of the plan told Breitbart Texas anonymously because he is not authorized to speak publically on the matter. “We are...

Subsequent to the horrific attack that left 8 people dead leftists could not wait to jump with both feet in the pool of projection blaming Trump despite not having a clue as to the motivation. The usual suspects- check the link for the opportunistic vultures. Here's one from a chowder head. i don't think it's a coincidence that Trump spent the better part of a year using a virus as a slur against Chinese people while hate crimes against Asian Americans spiked by 150 percent — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 17, 2021Apparently the phrase "China virus" is now a slur...

The Gospel today is, to the world and to those who are perishing, utter madness, utter foolishness. For Christ, in effect, declares that dying (to this world) is the only way to true life. While the world’s so-called wisdom declares to us that the way to life is power, prestige, possessions and popularity, Jesus says, die to all that and you’ll find true life.The word “paradox” refers to something that is contrary to the usual way of thinking. And the true gospel, (not the watered down, compromised one) is a real insult to the world.Indeed, most of us struggle...

Ronald Reagan famously said, "The trouble with our liberal friends isn't that they're ignorant. It's that they know so much that isn't so." This might be the only thing our friends on the left have in common with yesterday's liberals. The earlier breed at least gave lip service to the value of free speech and vigorous debate. "Liberalism" was the enemy of truth and clarity throughout the Cold War. Public debate was full of wordplay. Nimbleness of language ruled the day, with liberals parsing their way through the decay of communism 'til they could blame the decadence of capitalism for...

They wander the world, sleep on the wing and perform astonishing feats of endurance. We humans had until recently become inured to losing track of breeding birds for the duration of their migratory journeys, which we now know can span tens of thousands of miles. When a white stork turned up in Klütz, Germany, in the spring of 1822 with an arrow from Africa dangling from its neck, an awakening began that migratory birds are up to something much bigger than suspected. Solar-powered transmitters using cellular networks can now record a bird’s latitude, longitude and altitude at 30-second intervals. In...

It was one year ago when school buildings began to shutter and students retreated to their homes to try and stop the spread of the coronavirus. While not technically homeschooling (they were still enrolled in their school and working on curriculum prescribed by teachers, not their parents), many families got a hint of what homeschooling might feel like, and how the dynamics of their family might change were they to educate their children at home. If you only looked at social media, you would think it a complete disaster. Numerous posts on Twitter and Facebook decrying how unprepared and overwhelmed...

Biden felt three times as he scaled the stairs to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews. Biden tried jogging up the stairs to board Air Force One en route to Atlanta and fell hard on his knee. When he arrived in Atlanta, he visited the Atlanta headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to thank public health workers amid the coronavirus pandemic and claimed that “science is back”, though he did not state where or how the science went missing. Biden wrapped up his pep talk to the agency with a lengthy anecdote about meeting with...

Sensors and satellites across the globe have picked up signals that cannot be explained and many of these phenomena have been kept from the public. Ratcliffe [Director of National Intelligence under Trump] claimed intelligence agencies have quieted the information, hoping to publicize the sightings when there are proper explanations that are accessible and understandable to the public. *snip* "It is truly a historical moment when you have the United States government and multiple agencies in the organization coming forward and saying that the videos are not only real, but they are truly unidentified aerial phenomena," said former head of the...

Left-leaning news outlets the New York Times and Washington Post, have been accused of being “Democratic Party broadsheets” by Judge Laurence Silberman. Washington, DC, federal appellate judge Laurence Silberman said both newspapers were mouthpieces for “rather shocking” bias against the Republican Party, in an opinion on Friday.

Yesterday, the story of the day was Joe Biden falling down, three times, on the way up the stairs onto Air Force One.Now, it would seem that the story would be not only, “Was he alright?” but “Why did he fall?”. Was it part of the issues that we have been seeing from Biden? Is it part of the bigger problem? And really, ultimately why are there two different standards of review for any action, if President Donald Trump did something versus if Joe Biden does it?His team sought to dispel any questions, claiming that it was just “the wind,”...
