An American Airlines flight was evacuated and then delayed for nearly five hours in Texas because a passenger had a Wi-Fi hotspot titled, “There is a bomb on the flight,” according to a report. American Airlines Flight 286 to Charlotte, North Carolina was returned to the gate at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Friday after a concerned passenger showed a flight attendant the alarming name, ABC News reported. The pilot initially blamed the delay on an “administrative issue” — but then came out and told passengers it was because “somebody renamed their hotspot” to “there is a bomb on the flight,”...

On Friday, he revoked the security clearances and intelligence briefings for former President Joe Biden. Trump said he made the decision because Biden, “could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security— JOE, YOU’RE FIRED.” By making this move, Trump is giving Biden a taste of his own medicine. In February of 2021, Biden cited Trump’s supposed “erratic behavior” when he rescinded his access to national security information.

Ukraine will enter into peace talks with President Putin as long as the U.S. and Europe give “more security guarantees” not to “abandon” the country in future, its President says. President Volodymyr Zelensky told an interviewer he would agree to sit down to “any form of discussion” with Russia as long as his international partners first guaranteed their long-term support to deter future Russian aggression. This would be essential to prevent the Ukraine war simply becoming a frozen conflict that Russia could re-start when convenient to Moscow in the future, as it had been between 2014-2022, he said. Speaking to...

This Executive Order establishes the Department of Government Efficiency to implement the President’s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.

A monument honoring those impacted by COVID-19 and those who worked to limit its spread is coming to the Illinois Medical District on Chicago’s Near West Side this year, five years after the pandemic outbreak. The 25-foot, stainless steel monument, titled “COVID-19 Memorial Monument of Honor, Remembrance & Resilience,” will be built at 2023 W. Ogden Ave., on the one-acre triangle at West Polk Street, South Damen Avenue and West Ogden Avenue and nestled between Stroger Hospital and Jesse Brown VA Medical Center . Its unveiling is planned for this fall. “Now Chicago will be the physical place where the...

Is it any wonder recruiting numbers are now through the roof? The US Army just recorded 12 year high recruiting numbers. Why? Well possibly because the military is no longer advertising itself as some sort of LGBTQ+ activist Summer camp. Take a look at this US Army ad promoting health and fitness training, featuring a sergeant doing dead lifts and declaring, “Strong people are harder to kill.” Then compare it to an Army ad under the Biden regime where a cartoon soldier called Emma talks about being raised by two lesbian mothers and “marching for equality” as a child in...

The Trump administration has filed an emergency motion to vacate an ex parte temporary restraining order issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This order egregiously interferes with the executive branch’s operations by limiting access to crucial Treasury Department systems. On Saturday, Obama appointee Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued an ex parte temporary restraining order that restricted access to Treasury systems exclusively to “civil servants,” explicitly excluding “all political appointees” from accessing these systems. Ex parte means the “Trump administration lawyers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, and weren’t even in the room....

The younger brother of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz was busted in Virginia after trying to break into three different schools, according to police. Zachary Cruz, 24, was caught on security cameras at the schools “peering inside, indicating efforts to gain unauthorized access,” according to the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office. He allegedly attempted to get into the Wilson Middle School, Wilson High School, and the Valley Career and Technical Center late on Jan. 25, and was arrested “without incident” last Tuesday. The younger brother of the Florida school shooter — who massacred 17 people in 2018 — was charged with...

Trump and Musk are unraveling the deep state’s secrets at record speed, and the left is panicking—wielding emergency orders, judicial overreach, and legal theatrics to stop the exposure.Here we go again. At the beginning of his first term as president, Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning travel from several countries—Yemen, for example, Sudan, Libya, and four others—that had been identified as major exporters of terrorism. The left went nuts, excoriating Trump for his “racist” “Muslim travel ban.”It wasn’t a “Muslim travel ban,” but try telling that to Seattle District Court judge James Robart. He sniffed the air, sensed...

Concerning President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring new federal buildings to show a preference for "classical architectural style" which includes Neoclassical, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Beaux-Arts, and Art Deco, referencing the architectural traditions of Greek and Roman antiquity. . . Behold (above) the federal building and courthouse in Tuscaloosa, Alabama by HBRA Architects. And, no, it was not conceived when Andy Jackson was fighting the Battle of Emuckfaw against the “Red Stick” Creek Indians in 1814. Rather, it went up in 2012, a rare example of neoclassical design executed in our time. For the most part, though, the decades-long trend...

In an era of heightened tensions over immigration, the actions of one police chief in a small California city have reignited a national debate about the role of local law enforcement in federal immigration enforcement. Mammoth Lakes Police Chief Daniel Casabian has insisted that his department will not cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a decision that has drawn sharp criticism from federal authorities and conservative media outlets. The controversy underscores the broader conflict between sanctuary city policies and federal immigration enforcement efforts, with critics arguing that such policies threaten national security, public safety, and the rule of...

Elon Musk has called for the impeachment of an Obama-appointed judge who barred DOGE and the Treasury Secretary from accessing payment systems at the US Treasury. On Friday night, Democrats went ‘judge shopping’ to ask that Musk’s team be stopped from accessing Treasury systems, knowing that instead of receiving a judge by random selection, the only available judge would be Paul Engelmayer – who held an ex-parte hearing without DOJ lawyers. Engelmayer did not cite any case law or precedent for his ruling, which many have criticized for vast overreach.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). The series of conditional blessings Jesus promises, beginning with this verse and continuing through verse 12, are known as the Beatitudes. This name refers to a state of happiness or bliss. The blessedness promised in each is a divine characteristic, one that men and women can realize only as they share in God’s nature (cf. 2 Peter 1:4). When believers are truly blessed, they don’t experience merely an external, circumstantial feeling of happiness, but a deep sense of spiritual contentedness and well-being based on the...

Actor Richard Gere lashed out at President Donald Trump as a “bully” and a “thug” on Saturday, choosing an awards ceremony in Spain to deliver his insults before lamenting the U.S. is now in a “very dark place.” The 75-year-old, who received an International Goya Award at Spain’s top film honours, used his claimed political prescience to further warn the world authoritarianism is on the rise “everywhere.” “We’re in a very dark place in America, where we have a bully, a thug, who’s the president of the United States.

President Donald Trump “100 percent” disagrees with a federal judge’s ruling on Saturday that bars the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Treasury Department, he said during an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. “Nineteen states attorneys general filed a lawsuit, and early Saturday a judge agreed with them to restrict Elon Musk and his government efficiency team, DOGE, from accessing Treasury Department payment and data systems. They said there was a risk of ‘irreparable harm.’ What do you make of that? And does that slow you down and what you want to do?” Baier asked Trump in...

In yesterday’s post, reviewing a Washington Post op-ed by Ruth Marcus that called efforts by the duly-elected President to direct the bureaucracy to implement his policies a “power grab” and an “onslaught against the government itself,” I described the piece as reflecting “kindergarten-level constitutional analysis.” After all, my 6 year old first-grader grandson is fully capable of reading the first sentence of Article II of the Constitution (“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America”) and figuring out that this guy is given the sole and full power to direct the executive branch...

VLADIMIR Putin's apocalyptic Satan-2 nuclear missile has been branded an "absolute failure" - despite the Russian despot bragging it is "unstoppable". Putin has sacked the boss of Russian space agency Roscosmos after the killer weapon blew up on a launchpad before even taking off during a missile test. Russia has long boasted the 208-ton intercontinental hypersonic missile - capable of carrying nuclear warheads - is “unstoppable” by the West. The 15,880mph missile system is said to be the size of a 14-storey tower block. But Putin is now said to be frustrated over the production failures of the so-called apocalyptic...
