New Delhi (AFP) – The airline industry's flagship goal of decarbonising by 2050 is now "in peril" due to climate-sceptic policies, including those of US President Donald Trump, the leading airline association IATA warned on Sunday. The emergence of leaders favouring fossil fuels and recent regulatory rollbacks are "obviously a setback... it does imperil success on the 2050 horizon", Marie Owens Thomsen, the International Air Transport Association's senior vice president for sustainability, told reporters. "But I don't think it's going to halt or reverse progress. I think it will just slow progress," she said at the IATA annual industry conference...

May 29 (UPI) -- Pigeon pandemonium erupted on a Delta flight from Minnesota to Wisconsin when two birds took flight in the passenger cabin. Tom Caw, a passenger aboard Delta Flight 2348 from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wis., said the first pigeon flew through the passenger cabin during preparations for take-off on Saturday. The bird was removed by baggage handlers, but a second pigeon came out of hiding once the plane left the terminal. "It was on the floor, strutting down the aisle. Somebody near me reached down to try and grab it,...

The following is an excerpt of the book description written for The National Security Constitution in the 21st Century which Professor Harold Hongju Koh published on June 25, 2024.If re-elected, could President Trump, by a single tweet, withdraw America from the United Nations, NATO, and every treaty and international organization to which the U.S. belongs? Or if re-elected, could President Biden gradually take us to war throughout the Mideast—Gaza, Yemen, Iran, the Red Sea—by supplying weapons and ordering drone strikes, cybercommands and Special Forces without congressional approval?SNIPThis increasing imbalance of foreign affairs power has intensified across recent administrations of both...

With all the strategy the left has thrown into their zombie media people on why, how and who they are gearing up for the next two elections and since the right is so caught up in their recent presidential election glow with Trump winning and never stopping for celebration by hitting the ground running and keeping a pace that is leaving many in the dust behind him, we have to consider he is only going to do this for a max of four years. But his replacement will have to come from the ranks and no one really has stepped...

President Donald Trump has appointed Paul Ingrassia, a right-wing attorney and onetime podcaster who has defended avowed white supremacist Nick Fuentes and worked with antisemitic influencer Andrew Tate, to a new senior role as head of the United States Office of Special Counsel. It is the second promotion this week for a federal staffer with a record involving antisemitism. Kingsley Wilson, a Department of Defense official who has shared neo-Nazi conspiracy theories about Jewish lynching victim Leo Frank, recently ascended to Pentagon press secretary. “Paul is a highly respected attorney, writer, and Constitutional Scholar, who has done a tremendous job...

In honor of the Revolution and Independence Day, I say the whole month should be dedicated to honoring America, Americans, the American Revolution, and American Patriotism. What should it be called? (It is currently called Disability Awareness month).

Texas lawmakers voted to pass a bill that would remove short-barrel firearms from the state's list of banned weapons.If it becomes law, the legislation, SB 1596, would mark a shift in Texas firearms policy as debate about gun control and public safety continues. The bill has come under scrutiny, as a similar type of firearm was used in a 2018 school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas.The Texas House of Representatives voted to pass the bill Wednesday afternoon, bringing it one step closer to becoming law. It passed mostly by party lines, with only three Democrats joining Republicans in passing the...

Just a question of curiosity. If people were allowed to forego paying their taxes on their personal incomes, but paid taxes on their investment incomes created by the personal income that they aren't paying taxes on, would it be a net positive for the government over the long-term or a net negative in taxes paid for the government over the long-term?

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino promised the release of new video from the cell bay housing sexual predator and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein around the time of his suicide to prove “no one was there but him.” Epstein’s 2019 death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City was ruled a suicide, but has been the subject of prevailing conspiracy theories suggesting that he was murdered because of his networking with high-profile celebrities and business people. Bongino’s comments come after he and FBI Director Kash Patel came under fire from the MAGA crowd for having dismissed conspiracy theories about...

The world could see its first year of warming above 2°C by the end of the decade, leading climate scientists have warned for the first time. Each year, researchers at the Met Office – the UK’s national weather service – use observational climate data and modelling from institutions around the world to predict the global climate for the coming five years. Their results suggest the average temperature in a single year could exceed 2°C above pre-industrial times by 2029, a result that would mark a significant and sobering milestone in the fight against climate change. “That was effectively impossible a...

A federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump’s signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping. The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country’s trade policy dependent on his whims. But for now, Trump might not have the threat of import taxes to exact...

We’ve got some fantastic news for you folks, but it’s tempered a little bit, and that’s where you come in to help out. The Hearing Protection Act (HPA) recently passed out of the House of Representatives as an integral part of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Budget Bill. It is now on its way to the Senate to hopefully be passed in the budget reconciliation process. ... Given that bias, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to regain some firearm freedoms. Naturally, the leftist gun-grabbing ghoul lobby is losing its collective mind over this development, so they are going full fear-mongering mode...

Jesus told His disciples to spread the gospel. Thanks to the New York Times, Hegseth was just handed a mega-microphone to give Jesus a platform. God works in mysterious ways, including through the pages of the New York Times. The legacy media and progressives have spent months fearmongering about President Trump's crusade against anti-Christian bias in the government and his policies that seek to protect religious liberty. They frame it as dangerous flirtation with so-called "Christian nationalism," wielding this label as a cudgel to demonize Trump and his supporters.
