    The “popular” flight attendant failed to show up for the crew’s return flight to London’s Heathrow Airport following 48 hours in SF, according to a report in The Independent. The other crew members on the flight were reportedly too distraught to continue and the flight was canceled. Before the crew member was discovered dead, the pilots left the hotel for San Francisco International Airport. Cabin crew and inflight managers waited for him in the hotel reception, reportedly. When he failed to turn up, they went up to his room and discovered he was deceased. According to The Independent, it’s believed...

    Francis didn’t change Catholic teaching, but he pushed a moral relativism in which theology and doctrine are negotiable.Pope Francis’ famous exhortation to Catholic youth just months after being elected the 266th pope of the Catholic Church in March 2013 was “Hagan lio!” — “make a mess!” Twelve years later, upon his death Easter Monday morning at age 88, it’s fair to say that Francis took his own advice, making a mess of his pontificate and leaving the Catholic Church in a state of confusion and disarray.When he ascended the throne of Saint Peter as the first Jesuit pope and first...

    Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has racked up a string of lucrative directorships since leaving office, The Post can reveal, including a multi-million-dollar consulting gig with Ukraine’s top cell phone operator. Pompeo, whose security detail was revoked by President Trump in January, signed up for an advisory job with Kyivstar and its Nasdaq-listed parent VEON in June of last year, financial filings show. The 61-year-old had joined the boards of Kyivstar and VEON in November 2023 and May 2024, respectively. Documents reviewed by The Post show that Pompeo is paid $50,000 a month — or $600,000 a year —...

    Hawaii Democrats have advanced a bill that would clear the way for individuals and insurers adversely affected by an “event attributable to climate change” to sue companies and other entities for spreading climate “misinformation.” S.B. 1166, introduced by Democratic Hawaii State Sen. Chris Lee, aims to “provide a new, specific cause of action for any person other than an officer or employee of a state or local governmental entity” and insurers to file suit against companies or other entities that supposedly misinformed the public about the nature of climate change. Lee introduced the bill on Jan. 17, and it is...

    Imagine my surprise when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler. I had been a vocal critic of his on the radio from the beginning, pretty much predicting everything he was going to do on the road to dictatorship. No one I knew encouraged me to go. “He’s Hitler. He’s a monster.” But eventually I concluded that hate gets us nowhere. I knew I couldn’t change his views, but we need to talk to the other side — even if...

  • A Top Architectural Journal Planned To Center Its Latest Issue on Israeli 'Settler-Colonial Apartheid and Genocide.' When Its Publisher Said No, the Whole Board Resigned.

    Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 19, 2025 | Jessica Schwalb
    The Journal of Architectural Education (JAE), the field's premier scholarly journal, has dedicated past issues to topics like the "various nuances through which water and design mix" and the "relationship between stories and architecture." Last year, the journal landed on a different topic for its fall 2025 issue: The "ongoing Israeli genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza." The journal's "call for papers"—a prompt for essay submissions—was littered with anti-Semitic rhetoric. It lauded "siege and prison breaks" as methods of "anti-colonial life- and land-protection" and justified Hamas's Oct. 7 attack as "the rupture of settler containment." The fall issue, the journal...

    The Jewish comedian has long made Nazi references in his satire.Add Larry David to the list of celebrities who were put off by comedian Bill Maher’s friendly sitdown with President Trump. In a New York Times opinion piece, “My Dinner with Adolf,” the Jewish creator of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” imagines a get-to-know-you meeting “at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.” The narrator ends up being charmed by the Nazi leader. “I thought that if only the world could see this side of him, people might have a completely different opinion,” he gushes. The essay doesn’t...

    Two service members have been denied religious exemptions to the flu vaccine and are at risk of being forced out of the military after they previously fought the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. A service member in the Marine Corps and another in the Air Force are facing separation from their respective military branches after submitting Religious Accommodation Requests (RARs) for the flu shot. Both men objected to the COVID vaccine mandate under the Biden administration and ultimately kept their jobs, but they may lose them under President Trump despite the routine approval of religious exemptions for vaccines before COVID.

  • Michigan Dentist Sues Gov Gretchen Whitmer's Administration Over Mandatory 'Implicit Bias Training'

    Michigan dentist Kent Wildern has filed a lawsuit against Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer's administration, challenging the state's mandate requiring health care professionals to complete ideological training to keep their licenses. "It is unconstitutional for Michigan to weaponize its licensing powers to force healthcare professionals to choose between their careers and submitting to ideological indoctrination," Wildern's attorney, Wilson Freeman of the Pacific Legal Foundation, wrote in a Tuesday press release. "Moreover, Michigan's mandate for implicit bias training came from an unelected agency rather than the legislature, sidestepping any public debate on the issue," the attorney added. Wildern's lawsuit comes as President...

    Cardinals will gather in Rome to elect successor to Pope FrancisHe was the great disruptor to some and the radical modernizer the Roman Catholic Church desperately needed to others. The remarkable — and at times turbulent — 12-year papacy of Pope Francis, who died Monday, was marked by ambitious reforms, internal division and global controversy. In the coming days, cardinals from every corner of the Catholic world will begin the process of electing a successor. In the Sistine Chapel, under the magnificent Last Judgment painted by Michelangelo half a millennia ago, 137 cardinal electors will convene and begin casting their...

    Coffee & Covid ^ | April 21st 2025 | Jeff Childers
    The U.S. Constitution mentions an archaic, oddly-named privilege called the writ of habeas corpus in its Article I, Section 9, Clause 2. Let’s read Clause 2 together: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.” President Lincoln partially suspended the writ in certain key military corridors during the Civil War. It led to a showdown with the Supreme Court in a famous case called Ex parte Merryman. Merryman, who lived in Maryland, was arrested by the U.S. military in May, 1861, for...

    The Media has been covering up the reality of January 6 for over four years now. Prager U CEO Marissa Streit interviewed two “influencers”–John Strand and Brandon Straka– who were arrested, jailed, and nearly financially ruined in what appears to be a clear attempt by the Biden administration to make an example of them. If you have an open mind and heart, you will outraged at what you see. You will learn shocking information you’ve likely never heard before. President Trump pardoned / commuted the sentences of those involved. Getting these Americans out of prison was a great first step....

    A jury has found Nadine Menendez guilty in her federal bribery trial, following the conviction of her husband, former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, on similar crimes. Prosecutors argued the two were "partners in crime" while accusing them of accepting cash, gold bars and a luxury car in exchange for political favors. The defense argued there was no proof Nadine Menendez was involved in the scheme her husband was found guilty of perpetrating. Jurors began deliberating Friday afternoon before reaching their verdict Monday afternoon. She will be sentenced in June, the same month her husband is due to report to...

    Archaeologists have uncovered the ruins of an ancient Egyptian town dating back 3,400 years near the city of Alexandria, according to a recent study published in Antiquity. The researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research have theorized that the mud-brick settlement was likely founded during Egypt‘s 18th Dynasty (ca. 1550 BCE–1292 BCE), due to the presence of items bearing an amphora stamp with the name Merytaton. Merytaton was the daughter of the pharaoh Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti and the sibling of Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut.
