The Mystery Surrounding the Delta Pilot Deepens

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .What’s most suspicious is that Delta still refuses to reveal who was at the controls on that disastrous day. Yet, based on the biographical breadcrumbs they’ve dropped, people are drawing their own conclusions—and frankly, who can blame them? That said, it’s important to note that nothing has been officially confirmed.

But here’s where it gets even stranger—for the first time since the Toronto crash, the mainstream media has started sharing details about the female co-pilot. Of course, they didn’t release her name—because transparency isn’t exactly a priority here.

What they did do was gloss over the captain’s experience in a measly two sentences. Meanwhile, they poured out paragraphs to build up the female co-pilot—painting a glowing picture that feels more like damage control than reporting.

CBS News:

CBS News learned the first officer graduated from a university with an accredited and well-respected aviation program, and so was able to start working with fewer than 1,500 hours under a Restricted Air Transport Pilot certificate. She crossed the 1,500-hour mark and earned her full ATP certificate in January 2023, which is the highest-level pilot certification in the U.S., before completing training last April, and has been flying for Endeavor since then.

Delta says her flight experience “exceeded the minimum requirements” set by federal regulations.

She passed all of her check rides and there were “no red flags” about her pilot skills, a source familiar told CBS News.

Why is Delta Airlines being so tight-lipped about who was actually flying that plane? It’s a simple question that deserves a straightforward answer—especially after a crash this serious. Yet, instead of transparency, we’re getting silence, vague statements and selective puff pieces from the media. Why the secrecy? If this was just an accident with no underlying issues, there should be no need for smoke and mirrors. The more Delta dodges, the more it looks like they’re hiding something.

At least three people are dead, two are injured and another is missing after a boat capsized in a waterway between Brooklyn and Staten Island Sunday afternoon, officials said.

Five of the six occupants of the boat were pulled from the freezing waters after the vessel capsized around noon in the Ambrose Channel, the city’s main shipping lane that slices the two Big Apple boroughs, according to the NYPD.

Police divers, the US Coast Guard and other agencies descended on the dire scene, where they found four of the five victims unresponsive, according to the military branch.

Two people were airlifted to Staten Island Hospital and three were taken to Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook where emergency services were waiting, cops and the military branch said.

Three people were pronounced dead while one is in critical condition and another is in stable condition, police said. (Read more from “NYC Boating Horror Kills 3, Injures 2 as Sixth Passenger Still Missing in Freezing Waters” HERE)

Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: ‘Rewriting’ Ukraine War History Edition

/0 Comments/in , /by

Before writing an incredibly superficial piece on Eastern Europe’s geopolitical affairs from the frontlines of Pennsylvania Ave., New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker might have checked in with his colleague who was actually stationed in Russia and knows what he’s talking about.

Baker joined the obnoxious media chorus this week in disputing virtually every single thing President Trump said recently with regard to the war in Ukraine, including Trump’s characterization of the conflict as something Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky could have avoided and Trump’s labeling of Zelensky as a dictator.

“President Trump is rewriting the history of Russia’s invasion of its smaller neighbor,” Baker wrote on Wednesday. “Ukraine, in this version, is not a victim but a villain. And Mr. Zelensky is not a latter-day Winston Churchill, but a ‘dictator without elections’ who somehow started the war himself and conned America into helping.” He went on to write that Trump had “falsely” accused Zelensky of starting the war and had engaged in a “revision” of historical record that “seems to be laying a predicate for withdrawing support for an ally under attack.”

That annoying thing the media do where they have to have the last word on every disagreement under the guise of calling it a “fact-check”? This is more of that.

If there’s any “revision” in challenging the absurd levels of propaganda that the Biden administration and the media disseminated for the sake of selling that war to the American public, so be it. Almost everything said about it by the people in power advocating to prolong it was a lie. They said it was about “democracy” and “freedom” when it was in reality a long-standing territorial dispute. They said Ukraine could “win” while privately acknowledging that was impossible. They said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was decimating his own country’s economy when it was in fact relatively stable and even strengthening.

Former Proud Boys Leader Arrested for Assault of Protester at Celebration for Jan. 6 Pardons

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Proud Boys leader who was pardoned for his actions at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioting was arrested for an assault on a protester during a celebration of the pardons.

Video captured the moment Enrique Tarrio was confronted by a woman who was shoving her cell phone in his face. He reacted by slapping the phone out of her hand, and Capitol Police officers swooped in quickly to arrest him.

Tarrio had just finished speaking at a press conference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., when the protester approached him.

The USCP released a statement to WUSA-TV saying that Tarrio was arrested for simple assault.

“Around 2:30 p.m., our officers witnessed a woman (a counter protester) put a cellphone close to a man’s face, while they were both walking near Delaware Avenue, NE, and D Street.,” the statement read. “Then the officers witnessed the man strike the woman’s phone and arm. The woman told our officers that she wanted to be a complainant, and the man was arrested for the simple assault.” (Read more from “Former Proud Boys Leader Arrested for Assault of Protester at Celebration for Jan. 6 Pardons” HERE)

Trump’s Leaders at Federal Agencies Rebuff Musk Demand That Workers Justify Their Week or Be Fired

/0 Comments/in , /by

The directive that all federal employees share what work they accomplished last week or be fired is running into resistance, including from President Trump’s choices to lead federal departments.

Leaders at the Pentagon, the State Department, the Office of National Intelligence and the FBI told their workers Sunday to ignore the edict that originated with Elon Musk, Mr. Trump’s efficiency czar, and a federal workers union immediately vowed to sue.

Leading the refusal was FBI Director Kash Patel, who directed bureau staff to ignore a request.

“FBI personnel may have received an email from OPM requesting information,” Mr. Patel, who has orders from Mr. Trump to clean house, said in a message to employees. “The FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes, and will conduct reviews in accordance with FBI procedures. When and if further information is required, we will coordinate the responses. For now, please pause any response.”

Mr. Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, issued the justify-your-job ultimatum Saturday, soon after the president encouraged him to be more “aggressive” in his cost-cutting efforts.

Bombshell Yale Study Proves COVID Vax Causes Extreme Physiological Changes

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Thousands of Americans have reported [COVID vaccine injury] stories. After [publication of the Yale University study this week], DailyMail.com spoke to dozens of Americans, including those in healthcare, law, and the military, who said they felt a sense of validation after years of being dismissed as crazy.

. . . Yale researchers found patients with previously unknown ‘post-vaccination syndrome’ show distinct biological changes.

The most common symptoms appear to be brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance, a feeling of exhaustion after limited exercise.

In patients with the syndrome, the vaccine also appears to awaken a dormant virus known as Epstein–Barr and interfere with people’s immune systems in complicated ways still being studied.

Meanwhile, people with the post-vaccination condition had high levels of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot, which could leave their bodies in a permanent state of inflammation, causing a host of other problems.

Montana Lawmakers Reject Proposed Ban on mRNA Vaccines

By Micah Drew. The Montana House of Representatives on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly against House Bill 371, a measure that would have banned mRNA vaccines — used primarily in COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots — and made it a misdemeanor to administer the shots.

Introduced by Greg Kmetz, R-Miles City, the contentious bill revealed deep-held beliefs by some lawmakers about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine technology that became common during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Currently, the Food and Drug Administration has approved mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and boosters from Moderna and Pfizer. The FDA has also approved a Moderna mRNA vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus.

Kmetz said he became politically active during the pandemic, starting when then-Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat, ordered non-essential businesses to temporarily close down. He said his wife lost her job in the healthcare field for not getting vaccinated, and a friend’s grandson was hospitalized for one of the rare side effects attributed to the COVID-19 vaccines.

“If an individual is told a product will prevent them from getting sick, and yet the actual outcome of taking the product does not result in that effect, then the product is a scam,” Kmetz said. “Another thing that really bothers me is all vaccine manufacturers are 100% free from all liability … We are talking about a real bad product, and people have absolutely no recourse for damage.” (Read more from “Montana Lawmakers Reject Proposed Ban on mRNA Vaccines” HERE)

Grimes Publicly Pleads With Elon Musk to Respond to Their Child’s ‘Medical Crisis’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a series of deleted posts on X, pop singer Grimes accused Elon Musk of ignoring her messages regarding a serious medical situation involving one of their children.

The New York Post reports that in a shocking public plea, singer Grimes took to her ex-partner Elon Musk’s own social media platform X with a plea for him to respond to her texts, calls, and emails about a “medical crisis” that one of their three children is currently facing. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, claimed in multiple posts that Musk has been ignoring all of her communication attempts, forcing her to resort to a public outcry.

“Plz respond about our child’s medical crisis,” Grimes wrote in her since-deleted posts. “I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.” She emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating, “If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this.”

Grimes did not specify which of her and Musk’s children was in distress. When a commenter suggested that going public might not help the situation, she underscored the severity of the issue, saying their child could “suffer life long impairment” if Musk does not respond promptly. “I’m not giving any details but he won’t respond to texts call or emails and has skipped every meeting and our child will suffer life long impairment if he doesn’t respond asap, so I need him to f–king respond and if I have to apply public pressure then I guess that’s where we are at,” she explained.

The Pentagon Purges Are About to Begin

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon is preparing to trim the fat. Liberals have been perennial whiners about the Defense Department’s budget—watch them complain about the thousands of layoffs that are being planned right now. The Pentagon purge is about to begin, with at least 5,000 layoffs (via WaPo):

The Pentagon said Friday it will fire about 5,400 civilian employees beginning next week in an “initial” purge to its workforce, as President Donald Trump’s hastily issued orders to shake up the Defense Department faced new scrutiny and officials scrambled to understand how such actions could affect national security.

The announcement followed a day of uncertainty, as administration officials paused a plan to begin firings now while evaluating requests to retain thousands of other employees deemed essential. A senior Pentagon official, Darin Selnick, said in a statement late Friday that the Trump administration intends to cull its workforce by between 5 and 8 percent. With more than 900,000 civilian employees in the Defense Department, tens of thousands of people could be forced out eventually.

Echoing a pronouncement made earlier by Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, Selnick said in his statement that “it is simply not in the public interest to retain individuals whose contributions are not mission-critical.”

[…]

The cuts will come after Trump administration officials, coordinating with billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service, have slashed thousands of employees elsewhere in the government as part of the president’s broad effort to dismantle the federal bureaucracy.

The Defense Department’s civilian worker purge is beginning with probationary employees, those who have one to three years of experience or who recently were promoted, according to officials familiar with the matter, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity. That pool of people numbers between 50,000 and 55,000, officials said.

After deliberations over the last day, the Pentagon has settled on firing about 10 percent of the probational employees, a defense official familiar with the effort said. A hiring freeze is expected to take hold next week, and administration officials plan to spend two to three months analyzing who else could be ousted, the official said.

Viral Buzz: Here Are the ‘Miracle Drugs’ Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson Are Raving About

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Mel Gibson recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast and, as you might imagine, he set the internet on fire. The two dove into a deep conversation about cancer and a so-called “miracle drug” that could be a game-changer, and the world was hooked.

That chat was interesting because Mel didn’t just discuss theories—he got personal. The Braveheart star revealed that several of his close friends had been battling stage 4 cancer. But the story took an interesting turn when Mel said that his friends experienced incredible results thanks to a combination of ivermectin and an obscure drug called fenbendazole, a medication typically used to treat parasitic infections like roundworms and threadworms.

Then came Mel’s bombshell—he told Joe Rogan that his friends who took these medications are now cancer-free.

We actually covered this story when it first broke:

But it was Mel’s story about his friends with cancer that truly changed everything. Three of his friends, all diagnosed with stage 4 cancer—a death sentence—took a combination of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Now? They’re cancer-free.

That’s right. From stage 4—a death sentence—to completely gone.
