FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — In a touching tribute to one of America's most formative chapters in air travel, dozens of emotional passengers gathered at the gate to board the final scheduled flight of Spirit Airlines, preparing themselves for one last, glorious, no-holds-barred midair brawl. Witnesses described a reverent atmosphere at the terminal, as longtime customers embraced, wiped away tears, and quietly slipped brass knuckles on before boarding began. "We wanted to honor the legacy," said gate agent Melissa Rios, who was seen handing out commemorative mouthguards at the check-in counter. "One last time, we all want to feel that electric...

The luxury MV Hondius cruise ship at the center of a deadly suspected hantavirus outbreak has been refused permission to dock in the West African island nation of Cape Verde, officials said Monday. Roughly 150 people are currently trapped on the Dutch cruise liner off the African coast after three passengers died and others became seriously sick with symptoms. The ship, which was on a weekslong polar cruise from Argentina to Antarctica, had requested help from local health authorities on Sunday following the latest death. So far, no one has yet been allowed to disembark, the company operating the cruise...

@Nigel_Farage If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

Fauxcahontas got her wish. Elitist ghoul Elizabeth Warren has long held a grudge against people who earn their money. The multimillionaire senior senator from Massachusetts has a net worth of several million dollars but likes to pretend that she's down with the struggle like us regular folk. Yeah... no. Like all wealthy leftists, Warren has little care for those of us who work for a living. She also has a frothing hatred for corporations that earn money and provide jobs. This is from my HotAir colleague David Strom: My wife and I were regular flyers on Spirit, and we actually...

You know what's ironic? All the Canadians who didn't have kids to keep the environment pristine are now importing workers from countries where garbage is dumped directly into rivers. Coquitlam, British Columbia: Indian immigrant washes clothes in the river, using harmful detergents. Locals shout out to him that the detergent will affect the salmon and other wildlife. Woman 1: We don't put soap in the river! There's salmon. There's all sorts of fish. This is a protected area! Please no laundry detergent in this area! Woman 2: You're poisoning the fish! We're calling the police! Woman 1: We don't do...

U.S. Central Command (Centcom) on Monday dismissed a claim from Iranian state media that a U.S. warship was hit by Iranian missiles. “CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles,” Centcom said in a post on the social platform X early Monday morning. “TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports,” Centcom added, referencing an effort announced by President Trump on Sunday to free up ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Tasnim news agency, in...

In the photo above, there is no light in former President Barack Obama’s eyes. That’s what struck me. Obama’s eyes are black holes framing his gleaming white teeth as he stares at President Donald Trump. All you see is Obama’s teeth flashing. I found the photo on Wikimedia Commons, after the Democrat left failed to assassinate the president for the third time in the past 22 months. The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life. But none dared...

Now that we can look at QAnon from a distance what did it turn out to be? I thought some of it's posts were legit just because I believed underhanded stunts were commonplace by the dims and the media. Especially after the lawfare against Trump and the pseudo press coverage of biden. Now it seems like QAnon was just trying to sow chaos among us conservatives. It's referred to like a joke or some manner of failed attempt to do whatever.

Can anyone recommend a good online resource to upload photos for discussion on this site? No NSA/CIA please, but not necessarily super-secure either. Thanks.

Robert Prevost’s last act on social media before he became pope was a retweet. It was April of last year. Donald Trump had hosted Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office, where the two men laughed about the unlawful deportation of a U.S. resident to El Salvador’s CECOT prison. Cardinal Prevost saw the post — a Rocco Palmo dispatch citing the words of Washington Auxiliary Bishop Evelio Menjivar — and reposted it to his Twitter following. Image “Do you not see the suffering?” Menjivar had asked in the Catholic Standard. “Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay...

Nigel Farage and Reform are campaigning around the country in the local elections and consistently polling higher than the other parties. Reform’s campaign started with a series of rallies for supporters and candidates, where they asked attenders who were not already members to join the party and put their names forward as candidates. Now Farage is on a busy schedule of walkabouts and meet-ups with prospective councillors and supporters around the country.

A Bay Area businessman’s first ride in a driverless Waymo turned into an airport nightmare when the robotaxi allegedly sped off with his luggage still locked in the trunk — leaving him stranded without clothes, work materials, or answers before a flight to San Diego. Di Jin said his Monday trip from Sunnyvale to San Jose Mineta International Airport went smoothly until he arrived at the terminal and tried to retrieve his suitcase. “I pressed the trunk open button, tried to get my luggage, but it doesn’t do anything, and it drives away immediately,” Jin told NBC. The stunned passenger...

Sir Keir Starmer does not "seem to know what to do about" antisemitism in the aftermath of the Golders Green attack, Kemi Badenoch has said. The prime minister has suggested he wanted to see tougher action against people using certain phrases at Gaza demonstrations, but stopped short of agreeing with calls to ban the marches (see 7.05am post). The Tory leader said: "I heard the prime minister give an interview this morning where he didn’t seem to know what to do about it. "There are things that we can do. We can ban hate preachers from this country, stop them...

Pentagon officials revealed Friday that 5,000 US troops will be pulled out of Germany amid the rift between Berlin and President Trump over the Iran war. “The Secretary of War has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 troops from Germany,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. “This decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground,” he added. Describing recent German rhetoric about the war as “inappropriate and unhelpful,” a senior Pentagon official told Reuters “the president is rightly reacting to these...

Rural America has long been where the rest of the country sends what it doesn’t want nearby: prisons, power plants, landfills. These days, two more intrusions have been added to the list: immigrant detention centers and data centers. In December, Larry Bender, the supervisor of Tremont Township in Schuylkill County, Pa., learned to his great surprise that the federal government had purchased the largest commercial property in the township: a 1.3-million-square-foot warehouse that had been a Big Lots distribution center. It would now be used for immigrant detention. Tremont is home to about 300 people. The facility was designated for...

Rosie O’Donnell has found a fresh start, and a healthier future, by leaving America. The A League of Their Own star, who fled to Ireland when longtime rival Donald Trump returned to office in 2025, took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 28 to post an image of a Women.com article which noted that her “Mounjaro face transformation is undeniable.” “I have diabetes 2. I have lost 56 lbs. in just over 3 years — I’m thankful for my improved health,” O’Donnell, 64, captioned the post. While the prescription drug is designed to regulate blood sugar levels in people with type...

A top Co-Op City official warned that residents could pay four times more in monthly maintenance charges if New York State’s controversial green-energy laws aren’t peeled back. Jeffrey Buss, Co-Op City’s general counsel, claimed monthly maintenance fees could skyrocket from $950 for a one-bedroom to more than $4,000 to pick up the tab for the edicts. Some 50,000 working and middle class residents of The Bronx complex, which is America’s largest residential cooperative, could see their affordable digs become unaffordable if the co-ops are forced to dish out as much as $1 billion to rewire buildings and revamp infrastructure, he...
