A group of major US airline CEOs have reportedly requested a meeting with Boeing’s board to express concerns over production problems following near-disastrous fuselage blowout aboard an Alaska Airlines flight. The airline chiefs want Boeing directors to spell out their plan for fixing quality problems at the aircraft maker as US regulators scrutinize the company following the Jan. 5 incident on a 737 MAX, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. Boeing has responded by offering meetings with chairman Larry Kellner, a former chief executive of Continental Airlines, as well as other board members as...

Korean Air Lines Co. passed over embattled Boeing Co. — typically the carrier’s top aircraft supplier — to order 33 Airbus SE A350 wide-body jets in a $14 billion deal as it seeks to streamline its fleet ahead of a merger with Asiana Airlines Inc. Airbus also scored another victory on Thursday with Japan Airlines Co. buying 42 jets, picking 21 A350-900s and 11 A321neos, while Boeing scored a consolation order of 10 787-9s.

One of the truly great joys of this job - besides all of YOU, of course - has been the immense privilege of getting to personally know some of the people who have been at the forefront of the fight against the climate cult from the very beginning. Names that at one time, thanks to a near blackout of dissenting views, were just authors of articles or quoted in obscure documentaries that managed to slip through the climate change curtain. More of these folks are now becoming familiar. They should become even more well-known every single day because their struggle...

President Joe Biden’s average approval rating is well below the historic threshold for the incumbent to win reelection. RealClearPolitic’s average of Biden’s approval rating stands at 40.3 percent, while 56.3 percent disapprove of the president. His approval rating is lower than the three previous presidents’ ratings in March during the fourth year of their first terms: Trump 44.3, Obama 47.5, Bush 50.1:

Washington — The House passed a massive spending package on Friday to fully fund the government through September, sending it to the Senate ahead of a midnight deadline to avert a partial shutdown. The House approved the $1.2 trillion package, which was unveiled early Thursday, in a vote of 286 to 134. The package wraps six spending bills into one to fund about three-quarters of the government until the end of the fiscal year. Another package funding the rest of the government cleared Congress two weeks ago. A majority of Republicans voted against the measure, with House conservatives objecting to...

The man photographed another passenger's boarding pass and used it to board the aircraft. A Texas man has been arrested after taking a picture of another passenger's boarding pass and boarding a Delta flight out of Salt Lake City. The stowaway - 26-year-old Wicliff Yves Fleurizard - had been booked on a Southwest flight but was rebooked as the flight was full. Rather than waiting, he wandered into the Delta side of the departure terminal and took photographs of several boarding passes, which he would then use to board the aircraft. According to court documents filed in Utah on Monday,...

“The Florida Legislature unanimously passed a bill that would allow police to immediately remove squatters — a departure from the lengthy court cases required in most states.” For some inexplicable reason, squatters’ rights laws are commonplace throughout these United States. In many states, a person or persons can enter and inhabit another person’s vacant property, set up house, and after—in most cases—a mere 30 days claim some form of bizarre “right” to inhabit the home in which they did not pay a day’s rent nor a single mortgage payment: a home they do not own, did not buy, and have...

On Wednesday, Tony Bobulinski testified before Congress in the ongoing impeachment investigation of Joe Biden. His damning testimony so triggered Jessica Tarlov, the liberal co-host on Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” that she sought to undermine it by accusing Bobulinski of having a pro-Trump PAC pay his legal fees. "Tony Bobulinski's lawyers' fees have been paid by a Trump Super PAC that's as recent as January,” she claimed before rehashing a false claim about Donald Trump. “Do you think that a guy who's invested in how much better off he wants the United States to be—and really getting to the...

A conservative political action committee billed as Fix Jersey Now is looking to do what Republicans have long been loathe to do: Beat the left at its own ballot game. The PAC, affiliated with New Jersey conservative icon Dominick “Mick” Spadea, aims to fund and implement a ballot-gathering initiative to bring back the GOP from the brink of oblivion in the Democrat-dominated Garden State. Third-party collection of ballots has been part of the Democrats’ blueprint to electoral success. Every so often they get caught breaking the law. “We need your support to get boots on the ground,” the organization urges...

Adele Andaloro grew up in her family's home in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens in New York City. Recently, after her parents passed away, she inherited the million-dollar property when they left it to her in their will. She dutifully went about preparing the house for sale and put it up on the market. That's when everything began to go sideways. Three squatters broke into the home at night and set up residence, causing significant damage to the building and removing the "For Sale" sign from the yard. When Andaloro found out, she returned and changed the locks, seeking to...

Ronna McDaniel, the former head of the Republican National Committee (RNC), will join NBC News as a contributor. McDaniel will appear on “Meet The Press” this Sunday, giving her first interview since resigning as head of the RNC earlier this year. McDaniel is expected to be featured as part of election coverage on NBC and on the network’s sister cable channel, MSNBC. “It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Carrie Budoff Brown, who leads political coverage at NBC, wrote in a memo shared with The New York Times. McDaniel became RNC...

Does anyone remember those long threads about evolution a few years ago? There was one poster that was always jumping on to argue, I think in favor of it. Can't remember their name or I could look some up. If you could post link to one I'd like to read some.

Commenting on a Finland-based study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, Oskari Lahtinen, the author of the study, said, “The gender divide was probably most surprising to me. Three out of five women view ‘woke’ ideas positively, but only one out of seven men.” This reflects a similar phenomenon observed in other countries, and, in America, particularly in the younger generation. But why?

The Second City is preparing to open its New York City location in early 2024, drawing attention to one of Chicago’s most prominent yet intangible exports: comedy. Chicago’s comedy scene has long had a far-reaching reputation, with talent from Tina Fey to Bill Murray tracing their comedic roots to the city. The various stages, training programs and a more affordable cost of living draw many aspiring comedians to get their start in Chicago, over New York or Los Angeles. Improv as it is known today was developed here, and the city’s tourism arm Choose Chicago reports that comedy theaters contribute...

After a bombastic hearing with Hunter Biden's business partners, House impeachment investigators are dramatically pivoting to allegations of a possible coverup in the first son's criminal tax case as the inquiry transitions to a new phase. On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee sued the Justice Department seeking to force two attorneys there to comply with subpoenas and testify about whether there was any political interference in Hunter Biden's tax prosecution. A few hours later, that committee joined with the House Oversight Committee to release a letter to CIA Director William Burns that revealed impeachment investigators have a whistleblower who alleges...

In response to NASA’s report that a total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, New York authorities are warning New Yorkers to be prepared.

Also included in the press release was a list of suggestions calling for residents to stock up on food, water, and fuel. The warning by New York state police comes as the department looks to learn from their responses...

Russia and China on Friday vetoed a U.S.-sponsored U.N. resolution calling for “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid to be delivered to more than 2 million hungry Palestinians. The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 11 members in favor, three against and one abstention.
