What’s a Democrat to do? President Biden’s poll numbers seem set in quicksand. Now the special counsel’s justification for not recommending charges against Biden for having “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” is damning: Biden’s memory has such “significant limitations” that the special counsel believed he could not convince a jury that Biden has a “mental state of willfulness” that a serious felony (or, presumably, serving as president) requires. Cue the campaign commercials. Salvation lies in the DNC rules. Remember the New Jersey “Switcheroo” way back in 2002, when Democrats turned a sure loss of a Senate seat into a...

The NTSB found that mechanical failures caused a plane to go off the runway and crash into a car in McKinney last month. It happened on November 11 and the pilot was coming from Abilene. The only injury reported was the person in the car that was struck. Investigators said the first problem was a door seal that failed on the single-engine Lancair IV-P. The plane lost pressurization, so the pilot made an emergency descent, then noticed a caution light about the propeller. The pilot reduced power and tried an emergency landing at Aero Country Airport in McKinney, but the...

In 2023, many of the accidents that have been happening deserve far more scrutiny than they’re receiving. From food processing plants going up in flames to the recent rash of train derailments that seem to have surged beyond the realm of coincidence, it behooves us to examine the circumstances surrounding these often tragic events. Case-in-Point: The plane crash that killed five people in Arkansas. The plane took off from the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport on Wednesday. Even the namesake of the airport draws a conspiratorial doubletake, but it’s just a name so it’s not a huge deal. The...

In December 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke and her mother were traveling to see her father on LANSA Flight 508 when the plane was felled by lightning and broke apart.

The teenager plunged two miles through the air to the floor of a Peruvian jungle, still strapped to her seat. Despite this harrowing experience, she lived to tell the tale. Koepcke, who miraculously suffered only minimal harm, ventured through the forest for 11 days seeking help. Just 10 minutes...
