There’s pin-demonium brewing at American Airlines. Top brass at the nation’s largest commercial jet carrier is facing turbulence from within after it announced that flight attendants are now allowed to wear Black Lives Matter pins on their uniforms while on duty. The move has irked some of American’s white New York staffers, including those who have spouses or relatives who are cops — because they consider the BLM movement divisive and anti-police, saying it promotes or condones violence. “I take offense to this,” one veteran flight attendant said in an email to airline management obtained by The Post. “Serious offense....

by Samantha Foster The BLM cult is spreading and having some ugly impacts on our society everywhere. A Black woman who was blocking the aisle of a Spirit Airlines flight with her body and bag, while talking with people in their seats. When asked to move, she then launched into a crazy, racist, Black Supremacist rant against the flight attendant and multiple white passengers, threatening violence against several. Here the attendant, who was trying to prepare for takeoff, and had waited for several minutes for the woman to move, tries to get past her. The Black woman then claims...

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for records that the Secret Service claims to have destroyed related to a reported physical altercation between a Secret Service Agent and Joe Biden at a photo op in 2009 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:20-cv-02457)).

The University of Rhode Island recently announced plans to remove two murals depicting the events of World War II due to their lack of diversity. The decision was prompted after students complained that the mural was not compatible with the university’s values of inclusivity. According to the school’s Vice President of Student Affairs, “Some of our students have even shared with us they didn’t feel comfortable sitting in that space.”

The Golden Girls is being revived with an all-black cast, which includes Regina King and Tracee Ellis Ross. The iconic sitcom - which ran for seven season between 1985 and 1992 - revolved around the lives of four white women living together in Miami, but the new project will seek to 'reimagine' the situation from a black perspective. Fans should not get too excited about the beloved program returning to the airwaves, however, as the revival appears to be a one-night special set to be broadcast over Zoom.

— A Virginia city has officially renamed the cemetery where Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson is buried. The city council in Lexington voted unanimously Thursday to adopt a law changing the name of Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery to Oak Grove Cemetery, news outlets reported. The Civil War general, who owned slaves and fought to defend the practice, was buried in the cemetery more than 150 years ago. Officials faced calls from community members in June to change the name and remove all other monuments and places honoring Confederate figures within city limits, as communities around the world faced similar demands to...

We’ve already learned that a Black Lives Matter sign won’t help you. You could put a Black Lives Matter sign or even a “black-owned business” sign in the window of your business with hopes that looters and arsonists will pass it over, but chances are it won’t help. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo learned that lesson a few nights ago when a Black Lives Matter march ended up at his home and the mob started vandalizing it, despite his Black Lives Matter sign in his front window.
