Disturbing video shot aboard a JetBlue flight captured passengers clamoring to get off the plane in Newark – shouting that they were scared after several failed attempts to land at JFK Airport during bad weather. “I’m not going back in the air,” one passenger is heard yelling at officials in the cabin. Another man is seen pleading to get off the plane, which the airline said had been scheduled to land at JFK after a flight from Cancun, Mexico, on Thursday. “My kids are panicking,” the man shouts. “We gotta get off this plane. It’s dangerous! “We tried to land...

Residents in #Shanghai screaming from high rise apartments after 7 straight days of the city lockdown. The narrator worries that there will be major problems. (in Shanghainese dialect—he predicts people can’t hold out much longer—he implies tragedy).

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemRevelation 4The Throne in Heaven 4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne....

Nearly four years ago, the Knesset enacted the "Terrorist Salary Offset Law" to try and stop the PA's payments to security prisoners - despite the pressure - the payments did not stop - "The aid goes up in direct proportion to the number of Jews you killed," Alon Eviatar, an expert on the Palestinian arena, explained to N12. "The only element that determines how much everyone gets is your years in prison." Payments by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists who carried out terrorist attacks and are being held in Israeli prisons This is one of the main points of...

President Biden on Tuesday is set to announce that the Environmental Protection Agency will allow E15 gasoline—gasoline that uses a 15% ethanol blend—to be sold in the United States this summer in an effort to expand Americans’ access to affordable fuel supply amid the surge in gas prices across the nation. The EPA is set to issue a national, emergency waiver. Without the action, the White House said E15 cannot be used in most of the country from June 1 to September 15. The EPA is expected to take final action to issue the emergency waiver closer to June 1.

JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania -- When Ken Miller changed his party registration from Democrat to Republican in September 2020, he said he wasn't doing it for Donald Trump. He had not voted for Trump nor Hillary Clinton in 2016. Rather, he said, he was doing it for himself and his community after watching Democrats govern during the pandemic. "I am tired of what I am seeing," he said. Democrats appeared to ignore people like Miller, viewing his vote as replaceable by someone in their theoretical ascendant Democratic coalition of young people, women, intellectuals and nonwhite voters. But the thinkers in Washington may...

It’s doubtful that even the committee members believe what they’re saying. The January 6th committee is making news again: The leaders of the House committee investigating the Capitol attack have grown divided over whether to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department of former President Donald Trump, even though they have concluded that they have enough evidence to do so, people involved in the discussions said. The debate centers on whether making a referral — a largely symbolic act — would backfire by politically tainting the Justice Department’s expanding investigation into the Jan. 6 assault and what led up...

The current US Administration has driven the world into a more dangerous place, and it has been led there by the climate change dictators. Consider where they have led us. The forceful anti-fossil fuel dictates of the green energy policy makers have led America from being not just energy independent but also a major exporter to become dependent on dangerous and belligerent regimes. They closed the spigots decades before the essential infrastructure had been installed to sustain any adequate dependence on wind-power, solar panels, or semiconductor chips. They are so maniacal in their devotion to their golden calf that they...

As I have documented on a number of occasions, the Left ruins everything it touches. There is no exception. From universities to high schools and now including even elementary schools, to late-night TV, to sports, to the arts and, increasingly, science, the Left is a destruction machine.And nowhere is this damage more evident or tragic than with regard to women.In fact, nothing demonstrates the power of left-wing ideology as much as what this ideology has done to women. So powerful is leftist ideology, it is more powerful than women's nature.Here are five examples:No. 1: The Desire to Bond with a...

Why, I wonder, do my colleagues speak "equity-speak." It’s a distinct idiom. It has its own words and phrases, along with its own meanings and expectations. Top envoys in corporate settings are titled “chief equity officers.” Their consciousness-raising endeavors are called “building organizational understanding.” Employees undergoing this training become “agents of change.” They then disseminate the new knowledge to achieve “programmatic growth.” The resulting mutual surveillance of words and behaviors is called “monitoring mechanisms.” And the never-ending nature of this cultural reconditioning “ensures institutional sustainability.” Where did my colleagues learn this equity language? How did it seep into their consciousness?...

On the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the world was warned that billions would die soon because of a disastrous ice age. The Earth had been cooling for thirty years and it was about to get much worse. Crops would not survive the ice age so the people couldn’t be fed, The Earth was cooling even though CO2, the population, and fossil fuel consumption was rising rapidly, which we are told causes warming. The complicit media dutifully repeated these warnings to scare the public with no questions and no research. The warnings were 100% wrong because they were WAGS...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Monday the administration expects the March reading of the Consumer Price Index to show "extraordinarily" inflation due to "Putin's price hike." "Because of the actions we've taken to address the Putin price hike, we are in a better place than we were last month," Psaki told reporters. "We expect March CPI headline inflation to be extraordinarily due to Putin's price hike. And we expect a large difference between core and headline inflation reflected in the global disruptions in energy and food markets. Core inflation doesn't include energy and food prices, headline inflation...

There can be little doubt that former Vice President Mike Pence thought he was doing the right thing. There are certainly many pragmatic reasons for his decision to not intervene in the electoral processes during those fateful days in January 2020. We’re a year and a half into the geriatric Biden regime and those pragmatic reasons are quickly losing their luster. The nation is suffering—not from the constitutional crisis feared by the establishment but a systemic, methodical, sadistic infliction of pain and loss resulting from disasters of policy that are breathtaking in scope and frequency. It's almost as if Biden...

Some 24 million poultry birds like chicken and turkeys have already been lost, either because they died from the virus or were killed to prevent its spread. But unlike a similar bird flu outbreak seven years ago, this one is unlikely to just burn itself out. That’s because this particular flu virus seems capable of hanging around in populations of wild birds, which can pass the virus on to poultry farms. While chickens and turkeys with the virus quickly sicken and die, some waterfowl can remain healthy with the virus and carry it long distances. Scientists believe that wild migratory...

Let’s face it: “fascism” and “tribalism” are two scare words that our modern ruling classes like to use when it’s time to lock down the peasants. Over at the American Spectator they at least have the decency to note that both sides use the “fascism” canard. One side that thinks we’re on the threshold of fascism and the other side thinks we’re on the threshold of fascism.And at Quillette the experts are equivocal about “The Costs and Benefits of Tribalism -- a Roundtable.” Yes. What exactly is “fascism?” And what is “tribalism?” Fascism emerged in Germany and Italy in the...

Washington CNN — President Joe Biden on Tuesday will announce new steps his administration is taking to address rising gasoline prices across the country, including emergency measures to expand biofuel sales... [Snip] The President is slated to announce that the Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency waiver permitting year-round sales of E15 gasoline, which contains a 15% ethanol blend, on a trip to Menlo, Iowa, where he’ll visit POET Bioprocessing, a biofuels plant that specializes in the creation of bioethanol. [Snip] The sale of E15 gasoline is usually prohibited from June to mid-September because of air quality concerns. Under...

It was in this month, one hundred and fifty-seven years ago, that the Civil War ended. I have seen afficionados of both sides lament what happened, while they might argue over who was right, and what was lost. I am not an aficionado of the Lost Cause Theory. While some defenders of Dixie claim the issue was states’ rights, the chief underlying cause of the war was slavery. In his "Cornerstone Speech" of March 21, 1861, Confederate VP Alexander H. Stephens' stated bluntly that slavery was the very foundation of Southern society. Four states: Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina,...

The NYC mandates are nonsensical. They are not justified by science. At the suggestion of NYC firefighter Sophy Medina, I have decided to challenge the Mayors of the 10 biggest cities to a debate.Steve KirschApr 9 NYC firefighter Sophy Medina met with me at the Pasadena Hilton today to suggest that I (along with 5 of my team members) challenge NYC Mayor Eric Adams along with his team of medical advisors (and as many helpers as they want) to a 3-hour debate on the science behind the NYC mandates. Both sides will have an equal amount of talk time.Here is...
