‘What Are You Doing?’: UPS Plane Avoids Collision With Jet After Suspending Landing

/0 Comments/in , /by

A UPS cargo plane was forced to abort a landing after a corporate jet taxied toward the runway at the Louisville International Airport in Kentucky just after midnight on Tuesday.

As the plane was prepping to land at the Louisville Muhammed Ali International Airport, a jet owned by the medical laboratory healthcare services company Labcorp inched past the taxiway, causing an array of air traffic control alarm systems up in the air traffic control tower to go off, CBS News reported. The unexpected move by the Labcorp pilot prompted air traffic controllers on location to demand the jet halt, which it did. This forced the UPS plane, around 125 feet from the surface, to execute a “go-around,” according to the outlet.

“What are you doing?” one of the air traffic controllers can reportedly be heard pressing the Labcorp pilot in the audio, according to CBS News.

“Sorry for that,” the Labcorp pilot replied.

In November of 2025, UPS suffered a fatal cargo plane crash that claimed 14 lives, which occurred at the same airport:

REPORT: UK Prime Minister Claims Officials Hid Former Ambassador’s Epstein Ties From Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

The British Prime Minister’s office reportedly claims that officials within the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office withheld critical information about former ambassador Peter Mandelson.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggests his own government failed to inform him that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns raised during the vetting process, including concerns tied to his security vetting and alleged connections involving Jeffrey Epstein, according to SkyNews’ Political Editor Beth Rigby. Officials now say neither Starmer nor Foreign Secretary David Lammy knew that Mandelson’s clearance allegedly went against the recommendation of U.K. security vetting authorities.

The scrutiny was toward senior civil servants inside the Foreign Office—particularly Olly Robbins, the department’s top official. Rigby posted that Starmer had already been asking internal questions about the vetting process in recent days, especially after The Guardian reported the story. Despite those inquiries, officials allegedly failed to disclose that Mandelson’s clearance had been granted despite objections from vetting authorities.

On March 16, Rigby said she pressed Starmer on Mandelson’s appointment, and he responded that “due process was followed” while acknowledging system weaknesses, calling the outcome “my mistake,” and issuing an apology. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s office, now says officials withheld key vetting details from Starmer, including that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns, even as he addressed Parliament, according to The Guardian’s political editor Pippa Crerar.

First Cruise Ship Sets Sail Through Strait of Hormuz After Weeks-Long Closure by Iranian Regime

/0 Comments/in , /by

The first commercial ship successfully sailed through the Strait of Hormuz Friday after Iran agreed to reopen the vital waterway following a weeks-long closure.

The Celestyal Discovery cruise ship cleared the strait, just hours after Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the narrow waterway was once again fully open to all commercial vessels — after the Iranian regime had threatened to attack any ship that transited it following the launch of the US and Israel’s war on Tehran.

The ship departed Port Rashid in Dubai at 11:36 a.m. local time – becoming the first passenger liner to exit the shipping lane since the start of the conflict, data from shipping tracker MarineTraffic showed.

The vessel, which carries about 1,360 passengers, was reportedly empty when it traversed the strait.

It is headed to Muscat, Oman, where it is expected to dock late Saturday afternoon, according to CruiseMapper. (Read more from “First Cruise Ship Sets Sail Through Strait of Hormuz After Weeks-Long Closure by Iranian Regime” HERE)

Elon Musk’s Proposal of ‘Universal High Income’ to Combat AI Job Losses Baffles Economists: ‘So Wrong on This’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk turned heads Friday when he suggested that the federal government paying citizens a “universal high income” is the best way to combat AI-related job losses.

“Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI,” Musk said in a post on his own X platform shortly after midnight Friday morning.

The proposal, which is still pinned to the top of his X account, rebuffed the idea that such payments would be inflationary. . .

“He is so wrong on this,” wrote Sanjeev Sanyal, the former top economic advisor to India’s Minister of Finance.

“AI will certainly cause dislocation, but like all technology it will also create new jobs and opportunities in the medium term. AI and robots will also not produce goods and services in excess of money or demand that there will be no inflation,” he wrote on X.

DHS Deports Latino Migrants to Africa

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s deputies have deported 15 illegal migrants to Africa, roughly 7,000 miles from their homes in Central America, according to the Associated Press.

“An official at the Congolese migration agency confirmed the arrivals but didn’t provide details,” the AP reported from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, adding:

The deportees are all from Latin America and the Congolese government plans to keep them in the country for a short period, said U.S. attorney Alma David, who represents one of the deportees. She has been speaking with her client since arriving in Kinshasa.

The new “Safe Third Country” deportation policy is a big win because it bypasses a legal maneuver used by many migrants who persuaded judges that their home country is too dangerous for a safe deportation.

That courtroom maneuver has allowed many migrants — including the 15 Congo deportees plus “Maryland Man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia — to stay in the United States even after they are ordered home. (Read more from “DHS Deports Latino Migrants to Africa” HERE)

Teacher ‘Inadvertently’ Displays Female Breast Photos to High School Class During Presentation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Students at a Washington high school got an unexpected eyeful of female human anatomy during a slide show presentation by a teacher, apparently from the instructor’s personal computer.

Students at Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, Washington, were “inadvertently” exposed to images of bare female breasts during the presentation, school principal Alicia Mitchell wrote to parents in a letter obtained by several news outlets.

The principal wrote:

Families, we want to make you aware of an incident in a classroom where inappropriate images were inadvertently shared with the students. It is our understanding that these images have since been viewed by many others beyond the classroom and want to give you an opportunity to process with your student if you choose to do so.

Specifically, the content included images of nude breasts and were briefly visible during a teacher’s PowerPoint presentation. This does not reflect our expectations for classroom materials, and we take this matter very seriously. School administrators have already started taking steps to address this and are actively reviewing to assess this situation and appropriately address it moving forward.

Iran Opens Strait Of Hormuz… For Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump and Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced Friday that the Strait of Hormuz was officially open.

Trump took to Truth Social to thank the Iranians for opening the strait after previously claiming the U.S. was close to a deal to permanently end the conflict. Crude oil futures declined shorty after Iran announced the strait’s opening, with prices tumbling by over 10% as of this writing.

“THANK YOU!” Trump said on Truth Social. “Iran Has JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE.”

However, Araghchi’s announcement on X was less enthusiastic. He explained that the Strait of Hormuz would only remain open “for the remaining period of ceasefire.”

“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran,” Araghchi wrote.

We Have Several Signs Trump Admin Planning Next Country As Military Target

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. military may be ramping up for a potential Cuba operation, multiple reports suggest.

Two sources familiar with the matter leaked the information to USA Today on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly — a report the U.S. military has yet to verify. Open source intelligence accounts on X also documented the flight path of a drone that appeared to be spying on the communist nation.

“BLKCAT6, a U.S. Navy MQ-4C ‘Triton’ High-Altitude Surveillance Drone flew an over 12-hour mission yesterday off the coast of Cuba, flying rounds over the Gulf of America and Northern Caribbean, taking a particularly close look at both Havana and the area near Guantanamo Bay, before returning to Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida,” OSINTdefender posted on X.

The USA Today leak came just over a month after President Donald Trump’s announcement that Cuba’s regime was at “the end of the line” at the Shield of the Americas Summit on March 7.

“As part of our standard responsibilities, U.S. Southern Command routinely reviews and updates contingency plans to ensure readiness and support for U.S. government objectives in the region,” U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email, when asked whether it is preparing operational plans regarding Cuba.

Racist Monster who Livestreamed Torture of White Disabled Man is Back Behind Bars for Another Crime

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the twisted brutes who livestreamed the racist torture of a white disabled man nearly a decade ago is back behind bars for chasing down and mugging a cyclist, according to police.

Tesfaye Cooper, 30 — who spent roughly seven years in prison for terrorizing and beating a mentally disabled man in Chicago in 2017 — was arrested on April 8 for allegedly beating up the cyclist and stealing his bike with an accomplice, CWB Chicago reported.

Cooper and Mazi Pearson, 33, are accused of shouting “GDs!” — or Gangster Disciples!” — before chasing the victim into a train station, punching and spitting at him, police told the station.

In 2017, Cooper, who is black, and three other accomplices live-streamed the horrific hate crime on Facebook in which they bound, gagged and cut the special-needs man with a knife.

In the video, someone is heard urging the victim to say, “I love black people” and “F–k Donald Trump, n—a, f–k white people!” (Read more from “Racist Monster who Livestreamed Torture of White Disabled Man is Back Behind Bars for Another Crime” HERE)

String of Missing or Dead Scientists ‘too Coincidental’ not to be Major Concern, Congressman Says — as 11th Mystery Emerges

/0 Comments/in , /by

The deaths or disappearances of 11 top US scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance, a member of the House Oversight Committee insisted Friday.

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said his office had already been eyeing some of the “too coincidental” disappearances a year before President Trump told reporters Thursday that he had ordered an investigation.

The lawmaker argued the fate of the scientists is almost “certainly” linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense and UFO information — and may involve bad actors from China, Russia or Iran.

“This is a rallying call to pay attention to this issue and make sure that our nation’s top scientists are safe and secure,” Burlison told “Fox & Friends.”

“This is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this. We need to have our nation’s top investigators, the FBI and every agency looking into this matter.” (Read more from “String of Missing or Dead Scientists ‘too Coincidental’ not to be Major Concern, Congressman Says — as 11th Mystery Emerges” HERE)
