Fisticuffs in the cockpit, leaving a leaky engine running while cruising over Africa -- Air France pilots are under scrutiny after recent incidents that have prompted French investigators to call for tougher safety protocols. Two Air France pilots were suspended after physically fighting in the cockpit on a Geneva-Paris flight in June, an Air France official said Sunday. The flight continued and landed safely, and the dispute didn't affect the rest of the flight, the official said, stressing the airline’s commitment to safety. Switzerland’s La Tribune reported that the pilot and co-pilot had a dispute shortly after takeoff, and grabbed...

Police spokeswoman Mirjam Boers said the truck driver, a 46-year-old Spanish man, is suspected of causing the accident that happened early Saturday evening in the village of Nieuw-Beijerland.

Boers said the driver was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. “We are...

The organization, Get The L Out”, opposes the addition of transgenderism to the LGB category and carried banners that read “lesbians don’t like penises” and “trans activism erases lesbians.” Videos uploaded to Get the L Out’s Twitter account depict an exchange between Get the L Out organizer Angela Wild and a police officer. “I want to make sure I understand. You are removing lesbians from an LGBT march. Is that what you’re...

There have been many details exposed over the last two years about how our government at all levels is not what we thought it was, and none of what we're hearing bodes well for this republic. Let's focus on one issue: the U.S. Senate. It's clearer than it has ever been that it's just a collection of elected officials, behaving as if they're independent actors with no restraint. It's as if they have no allegiance to anyone. The citizens of their respective states matter not, except once every six years, when they play the "how can I fool them again"...

Affirming what ex-Blackrock executive Edward Dowd has been saying about excess deaths and Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines,” the Society of Actuaries Research Institute (SARI) has released a new report indicting jab mandates as a major killer of millennials last fall. Excess deaths among people aged 25-44 – also known as the working-age population – soared roughly a year ago as Operation Warp Speed reached its peak. Some 61,000 millennials died as a result of being forcibly jabbed, a phenomenon that Dowd likens to another Vietnam War. “This is what we call democide: death by government,” Dowd told Steve Bannon on...

The Houston Fire Department responded to a call around 1:07 a.m. Aug. 28, from an address on the 8000 block of Dunlap Street, on the city’s southwest side, police Chief Troy Finner said at a press briefing.

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik is keeping up her criticism of the FBI for refusing to answer questions about its connections to Shahed Hussain, the owner of the stretch limo involved in the 2018 crash in Schoharie that killed 20 people. In an appearance earlier this month on Fox News, the Schuylerville Republican said she had yet to get answers from the FBI on Hussain, who worked for years as an undercover informant for the bureau on anti-terrorism cases before his illegal limo operation was involved in the tragedy. During a March appearance before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,...

HOUSTON, TX — Houston pastor Joel Osteen has released an exciting new study Bible where he has carefully gone through and redacted every single word of the text: The Redacted Study Bible. Osteen is calling the new edition of the Bible "the most transparent study Bible in history" and claims the redactions were made for your safety, comfort, health, and wealth. The pastor has personally gone through the Scriptures and blacked out every verse that made him feel uncomfortable, which is, well, all of them. For example, Revelation 20:15 in the ESV says, "And if anyone's name was not found...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The head of Russian proxy forces in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region has sent a message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un calling for cooperation amid signs the North is considering sending laborers for restoration projects in Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine. North Korea last month became one of the few nations in the world to recognize the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk, another Russian-backed separatist region in eastern Ukraine, prompting Kyiv to cut off diplomatic ties with Pyongyang. There are indications North Korea is reviewing plans to send workers for restoration projects in those regions,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a standout performance in the FBI's latest work, Sharpie has landed a huge endorsement deal as the preferred highlighter of America's federal agents. "We couldn't do our job protecting America without the incredible permanent markers made by Sharpie," said FBI Director Christopher Wray. "From helping us black out coverage of Hunter's laptop, to hiding how we acted as a tool for Democrats to investigate fabricated 'Russian collusion' charges - Sharpie has been there every step of the way." Experts now estimate that blacking out words with marker comprises about 87% of what federal agents do. In...

Interviewed by Rai Tre, the President of the Pontifical Academy for Life touches the bottom of his formal collaboration with evil by defining Law 194 as "a pillar of society" and saying that it is "absolutely not up for discussion". We are at ground zero of morality and of faith: we have a Bishop who is President of an academy founded to protect life who protects a law that destroys life. The Law 194 becomes a moral absolute: this is how abortionists speak. In a normal situation, he should be shown the door today.

Insults turned to violence on Saturday as what appeared to be 10 or fewer participants in a National Straight Pride Coalition rally clashed with over 200 LGBTQ and pro-choice counterprotesters in Modesto. It’s the fourth consecutive year that straight pride demonstrators have assembled in front of the Planned Parenthood building on McHenry Avenue, and like last year, violence quickly ensued.

Aug 26 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld a ban on smoking in federally subsidized public housing. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) properly enacted a 2016 rule requiring state and local public housing agencies to ban cigarettes, cigars and pipes inside housing units and indoor common areas, and outside within 25 feet of those spaces. Six tenants and a smokers' rights group, the New York City Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment ("NYC Clash"), challenged the ban, known as the Smoke Free Rule. They said it improperly invaded...

Could NASCAR soon be hitting empty? A recent gas shortage may have long-reaching effects and could potentially affect the sport. NASCAR has plenty of races left on its schedule for the season. The next races in the Xfinity and Cup series will be on May 15 and 16th at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware. It remains to be seen whether a gas shortage could affect those races or future events. Currently, a pipeline shutdown has caused gas shortages across the Southeast and East Coast. On May 7, hackers hit Colonial Pipeline with a ransomware attack. This effectively caused a...

The Arizona Free Enterprise Club led the fight against the measure that many believed would weaken Arizona’s election integrity.Arizona Free Enterprise Club President Scot Mussi said the Supreme Court correctly determined that Free and Fair lacked enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.“The ruling today vindicates what we knew all along: the radical Free and Fair election initiative lacked enough lawful signatures to qualify for the ballot,” said Mussi in a press release. “The other side knew it too, and that is why their lawyers tried to get the court to adopt a rigged methodology to calculate the final number...

The Arizona Democratic Party nominee for Governor, Katie Hobbs, is ignoring increasing pressure to face off with Republican Party nominee Kari Lake in a debate. Both supporters and detractors are questioning Hobbs’ decision to skip out on the Citizens Clean Elections debate, which has traditionally provided Arizona voters with an opportunity to compare the candidates’ performance under fire on the same stage and at the same time. From supporters like Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts, to opponents like the Republican Governor’s Association, Hobbs’ is facing criticism for her decision to deny Arizonans an election cycle tradition. “Fresh off her refusal...
