The skydiving pair was spotted midair struggling to deploy their parachutes, local resident Alex Arias, who witnessed the incident, told KPRC. The male instructor was reportedly unconscious after hitting the ground while the female student was awake and calling for help. “He let off his primary and then the secondary shoot like opened halfway up so he didn’t fall like a straight fall, he was like 50 percent shoot, like a corkscrew,” Arias said, KPRC reported.

The White House hinted Tuesday that President Joe Biden is considering another release of oil from the Strategic Oil Reserves, as gas prices continue to rise. White House Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh said Biden would coordinate with major energy consumers to address higher energy prices, after the president announced a “first tranche” of sanctions against Russia after Vladimir Putin moved into Ukraine.

Has Bill Melugin at Fox News has lost his marbles? While reporting on a gruesome story in which child rapist James Tubbs (who calls himself “Hannah”) has been caught on tape bragging about the light sentence he got after sexually assaulting a ten-year-old in a bathroom, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin went out of his way to call Tubbs “she” and “her” multiple times on America’s Newsroom. It’s not only wrong but confusing to the audience. Why would Fox News join the woke gender bullies who demand that everyone gets their preferred pronouns no matter what our eyes tell us...

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb. 22. All the Federal and Corporation offices and many business houses are closed. There is continuous firing this morning in honor of the day. WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb. 22, -- P.M. A large number of citizens, as well as the Government, had made preparations for illuminating. A few of the former, although a general demonstration of that kind has been postponed, carried out their original intention to-night. WASHINGTON's birthday at Alexandria was celebrated by the hoisting of flags over the new office of the Quartermaster, namely, the depot of the London and Hampshire Railroad Company. Speeches were made...

The letter was signed by Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), among others. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) shared the letter on Twitter, writing that Biden should “follow the Constitution and the law.” “The American people deserve to have a say before we become involved in yet another foreign conflict,” DeFazio wrote. Lawmakers wrote in the Tuesday letter that the War Powers Resolution of 1973 has been abused by previous presidents, but they noted that the act restricted Biden from not only engaging troops in battle but also launching a...

Charlie Kirk was asked recently, at one of his lectures, whether now is a good time to "use the guns." He answered that it isn't, and I agree with him but only partially for the reasons he stated.Simply put, the idea that right-wingers could start a revolution and win one, at this point in history, is comedy — and no, I don't care if that's the sole reason we have a Second Amendment and we have more AR-15s. First off, we don't own any of the institutions — including any branches of the military, which, although staffed with lots of...

Would you donate to causes that work against everything you believe in? Would you give your hard-earned money to people who will use that money to fund objectionable actions? These seem like ridiculous questions, yet for millions of conservatives, this happens daily. Whether it's ordering a cup of coffee from Starbucks, which matches donations to Planned Parenthood; dining at a restaurant that refuses to serve police officers; or banking with a financial institution that fires its unvaccinated employees, tens of millions of freedom-loving Americans are spending their money daily on companies that hate their values.Some historians believe that the average...

Bob Bolus, the Scranton, Pa. truck driver leading a convoy to DC is reporting two flat tires -- delaying the start of their journey. “We're not going to camp there. Let me put it that way,” Bolus replied. “We're not camping on the Beltway. We're gonna have our voices heard and let them understand this is only the tip of the iceberg."

According to conventional wisdom, inflation has left most Americans poorer. It’s an odd view, given that the number of people with jobs jumped by 4.7 percent in 2021, and the economy grew by 5.7 percent after inflation. It was the U.S. economy’s best performance in decades. If people are poorer, why did household spending jump by 8.8 percent in 2021, after inflation, including increases of 25.8 percent for clothing and shoes and 11.6 percent for home furnishings?

A transgender woman who admitted to choking and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in a bathroom stall reportedly laughed at the light sentence she received. When the incident occurred, Tubbs was a 17-year-old male two weeks shy of his 18th birthday called James. Tubbs only began identifying as a female after being arrested for assault eight years later.

In state legislatures throughout the country, lawmakers are introducing bills to protect the rights of their constituents concerning freedom of speech and freedom of association. Bank lobbyists are aggressively opposing these consumer protection bills, which begs the question: why? The banks say they do not use ESG metrics, so why oppose these consumer protection bills that merely erect some guardrails to ensure the rights, freedoms, and choices of citizens are protected? The banks and others opposing legislation to protect consumers and small businesses from ESG discrimination say the legislation interferes with the free market, that the government is meddling with...

In September 2020, January Littlejohn went to pick up her 13-year-old daughter from middle school. Littlejohn is a stay-at-home mother to three children and a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. So when her daughter informed her that the school administration had begun encouraging her to identify as transgender, Littlejohn was shocked. Littlejohn's daughter told her that school administrators had asked her about changing her name, which restroom she wished to use, and whether she wanted to sleep with boys or girls on school trips. According to the district, parents were to be cut out of the loop unless the...

There is always a tweet, so says the online aphorism, developed during the chaotic Trump years, that now seems to hold true across administrations and perhaps even with increased significance after a Russian strongman decided to invade an eastern European neighbor over the holiday weekend. The Russian in question is Vladimir Putin. The country invaded, Ukraine, or more specifically the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics that Russia recently recognized diplomatically. And the tweet, well, that came from Joe Biden. For Decades Biden Promised He Could Handle Putin .By Philip Wegmann - RCP StaffFebruary 23, 2022 For Decades Biden Promised...

Republican Nick Howland flipped a Jacksonville, Florida, city council seat in a heavy Democrat district that swung for President Biden in 2020. Duval County election results from Tuesday night showed that Howland defeated Democrat Trayce Polson with a sizeable majority of 68,599 votes versus her 64,113 votes – 51.69 percent versus 48.31 percent.

Russian tanks and mechanized infantry have invaded Ukraine's Donbas and occupied the so-called secessionist enclaves of Luhansk and Donetsk. Russian President Vladimir Putin calls his armored forces "peacekeepers," sent to protect ethnic Russians threatened by Ukrainian genocide. No one sane believes it. Putin leverages the bloody script Slobodan Milosevic's Serbia used in the 1990s to justify invading Bosnia and Croatia, waging a war in Europe that left some 250,000 dead. In 2008 Putin used his version of the script. He sent special forces and infantry into Georgia, igniting the Russo-Georgian War. He claimed breakaway enclaves South Ossetia and Abkhaz faced...

For Wing and Feather Day: "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all." ~ Emily Dickinson~A starling in its autumn dress in Finland that looks as if it’s made of enameled porcelainAs we watch in real time what looks like either the start of WW III or Cold War II (or both), remember this: We’ve felt the Anger, and seen the Courage and pray that they are triumphant. Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

In 2019, the Society for Classical Studies, a non-profit North American scholarly organization devoted to all aspects of Greek and Roman civilization, held a rather memorable conference in San Diego. Titled “The Future of Classics,” panelists were asked for their opinions on “the diminution of our future role” in society. One of the panelists, Dan-el Padilla Peralta, an associate professor of classics at Princeton who researches and teaches the Roman Republic and early Empire, wasted no time in making his point, calling for all Classics to die “as swiftly as possible.” Peralta, a black academic, criticized Classics for their failure...

A top Chinese state media editor said Beijing needs to back Russia over Ukraine because it needs Moscow's support to assert dominance over Taiwan. Unlike many other nations, China has not condemned President Vladimir Putin for ordering troops into eastern Ukraine, an act that Western powers consider to be a springboard for a full invasion of Ukraine. The US and UK announced landmark sanctions on Russian companies and individuals as a result, and the EU also agreed to impose sanctions. China's foreign ministry, however, said Wednesday that it opposes the use of the measures. Writing on his WeChat blog Tuesday,...
