/0 Comments/in , /by

Two Ryanair passengers were detained after starting a chaotic brawl that left one passenger bloody on board a flight to Spain’s Tenerife South Airport from Glasgow Prestwick in Scotland.

The shocking footage was shared on Twitter, showing two men striking each other while other passengers scream.

During the 36-second clip, taken by Twitter user Ben Wardrop, Ryanair flight crew can be seen trying to break the men up as they continue to hit one another and yell threats.

In a statement to Fox News from Ryanair, the airline said they requested police to meet the flight upon landing.

“The crew of this flight from Glasgow Prestwick to Tenerife (16 Mar) requested police assistance upon arrival after two passengers became disruptive in-flight. The aircraft landed normally and police removed and detained two individuals. We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behavior at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. This is now a matter for local police,” the statement read. (Read more from “Passenger Filmed With Face Full of Blood After Shocking Mid-Flight Brawl” HERE)

WATCH: Teen Smashes Egg on Senator’s Head, Gets Punched in the Face

/0 Comments/in , /by

A right-wing Australian senator who made controversial remarks following the terrorist attacks in New Zealand was pelted in the head with an egg and responded by punching the person who threw it in the face.

A 17-year-old boy smacked Sen. Fraser Anning in the head with the egg as he was talking to reporters on Saturday morning in Melbourne. Anning responded by turning around and punching the teenager twice in the face. . .

Anning faced backlash over his response to the New Zealand terrorist attack after he condemned the violence and then went on to make comments that were widely criticized as being blaming the victims of the attack. . .

Following the attack, New Zealand’s leftist government proposed extreme gun control laws, on top of the nation’s already extreme laws, which may now include banning all semi-automatic firearms.

“As soon as New Zealanders hear that someone was legally able to acquire, as I’m advised, those weapons and carry out this event, that will raise enormous questions with our gun laws, and that is why we will respond swiftly,” New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, adding, “our gun laws will change.” (Read more from “WATCH: Teen Smashes Egg on Senator’s Head, Gets Punched in the Face” HERE)

Floodwaters Overwhelm Nebraska in the Wake of ‘Bomb Cyclone’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Historic floodwaters have besieged Nebraska following this week’s “Bomb Cyclone” weather event, leaving areas in and around Omaha and Belleville, Nebraska, completely underwater — and the waters show no sign of receding any time soon.

Few news organizations outside the state have been documenting the flood and subsequent levee breaches, which have left Nebraskans struggling to save their homes and farms from floodwaters reaching up to seven feet higher than they’ve ever been.

Reuters reports that the floods are the direct result of the “Bomb Cyclone,” a “winter hurricane that forms when the barometric pressure drops 24 millibars in 24 hours.” Between the Bomb Cyclone’s snow and rain, the Missouri River rose dramatically, and isn’t expected to officially crest until the early hours of Tuesday morning.

In Fremont, Nebraska, residents remain stranded, according to local news sources. Roads and bridges are washed out and emergency responders are furiously raising sand-bag walls in the hopes of saving homes from the rising Platte River after two levees, meant to keep the river at bay, failed completely.

“A quarter-mile section of U.S. 281 was washed out just south of the bridge over the Niobrara River,” according to the local outlet. “At the Allen ranch, floodwaters 4 to 5 feet deep inundated pastures and livestock pens,” he said, “tipping over stock trailers, flowing into farm sheds and tractors, and scattering cattle.”

This Dem’s Hot Take on the New Zealand Shootings Is Even More Shameful Than AOC’s

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) told CNN Friday that he believed President Trump’s “rhetoric” may have played a part in the horrific shootings at two mosques in New Zealand that left 49 dead.

“Words have consequences like saying we have an invasion on our border and talking about people as though they were different in some fatal way,” Blumenthal said. “I think that the public discourse from the president on down is a factor in some of these actions.”

“We know that at the very pinnacle of power in our own country, people are talking about ‘good people on both sides,'” he added, referencing comments that President Trump made about the 2017 violence in Charlottesvillle, Virginia that left one woman dead.

U.S. President Donald Trump Denounces ‘Act of Hate’ in Christchurch Mosque Shooting

By Jonathan Lemire. US President Donald Trump sent condolences on Friday to the victims of the New Zealand mosque massacre, and the White House issued a statement denouncing the “vicious act of hate.”

The president tweeted on Friday that his “warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured.”

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders went further in denouncing the shooter’s actions, with a statement that said the “United States strongly condemns the attack in Christchurch. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with the people of New Zealand and their government against this vicious act of hate.” (Read more from “US President Donald Trump Denounces ‘Act of Hate’ in Christchurch Mosque Shooting” HERE)

Top U.S. General Makes Revelation About Google and China’s Relationship

/0 Comments/in , /by

During his testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford said while Google continues to not work with the U.S. military, they will work with China. He said their work with China in turn benefits the Chinese military.

“The work that Google is doing with China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military and I’ve been very public on this issue as well,” Dunford said. “The way I described it to our industry partners is look we’re the good guys and the values we represent and the system we represent is the one that will allow, and has allowed you, to thrive.”

“We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China, knowing there is that indirect benefit, and frankly ‘indirect’ maybe not a full characterization of the way it really is,” he continued. “It’s more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military.” . . .

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan also warned about China’s increased spending on its military.

“China’s defense spending approaches that of the U.S., when we take into account purchasing power and the portion of our budget going to military pay and benefits. “That, coupled with China’s organized approach to steal foreign technology, has allowed China to modernize its missile, space, and cyber capabilities, as well as project power far beyond its borders,” he said.

WATCH: Trump Reacts to Beto’s 2020 Announcement Video in Hilarious Trump-Fashion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Thursday, President Donald Trump was asked by the press to react to Democrat Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s 2020 presidential bid announcement. And in true Trump-fashion, the president, known for mercilessly branding his opponents, mocked the media-beloved O’Rourke for his excessive “hand movement,” the likes of which Trump said he’s “never seen” before.

“Well I think he’s got a lot of hand movement; I’ve never seen so much hand movement,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting alongside Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.

“I said, ‘Is he crazy or is that just the way he acts?’ So I’ve never seen hand movement – I watched him a little while this morning – doing I assume it was some kind of a news conference,” the president continued.

It’s unclear where the laughter heard in the video is coming from, but it seems some in the media laughed at Trump’s comical remarks. . .

In October, Trump campaigned for former-foe and then-O’Rourke opponent Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). During a speech backing Cruz, Trump called the Republican’s Senate challenger a “stone cold phony named Robert Francis O’Rourke, who is sometimes referred to as Beto and pretends to be moderate,” reported Deadline.

Former Amazon Employee Reveals Terrifying Truth Behind Working Conditions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Amazon employee Shannon Allen claimed in a Thursday interview with Tucker Carlson that the stressful workplace conditions nearly drove her to suicide.

When Carlson asked her whether she knew someone who attempted suicide, Allen said, “Tucker, I’m going to just go ahead and be honest with you. My very first YouTube video I ever made, I mentioned something about driving my car off of Eagle Mountain Dam because I was…worth more dead than I was alive. And let me tell you what—that was so surreal to me because…that’s the kind of mindset that they put you in: is you are not important.” . . .

Allen first made news during a series of YouTube videos that chronicled her trials as an Amazon employee. Her story was picked up by the World Socialist Web Site in an article about the recent company-wide pay raise to $15 per hour. Although every employee experienced an increase in hourly pay, nearly every benefit and bonus went away, which ultimately resulted in a net loss for workers.

“It makes me so mad,” Allen told the WSWS in October. “I want to know who Bezos asked about doing this. Bezos said that he supposedly heard from his workers. Who did he ask? It wasn’t me. We didn’t get to vote. They didn’t pass out a ballot. Nobody asked me. Now I have an option to buy my own stock. It just pisses me off.” (Read more from “Former Amazon Employee Reveals Terrifying Truth Behind Working Conditions” HERE)

WATCH: Beto Announces He’s Running for President; Responses Online Are Hilarious

/0 Comments/in , /by

After embarking on a soul-searching road trip following his disappointing defeat at the hands of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, Beto O’Rourke has finally come to his decision about ascending to the highest office in the land: He’s “in.” The only question is, are you?

“I am running to serve you as the next president,” Beto tweeted Thursday morning. “The challenges we face are the greatest in living memory. No one person can meet them on their own. Only this country can do that, and only if we build a movement that includes all of us. Say you’re in: BetoORourke.com.”

The tweet also presents Beto’s announcement video, which features the failed senatorial candidate seated next to his beaming wife as he lays out his optimistic vision for his transcendent presidency.

O’Rourke has presented himself as somewhat of a centrist politician, though he’s taken a radical position on illegal immigration, not only opposing the building of a security wall on the southern border but actually calling for the dismantling of existing walls. Leading up to his big announcement, rumors had been circulating that Joe Biden may have already reached out to Beto as a potential running mate should the former vice president announce his own candidacy, as most expect he’ll do. “Advisers to former Vice President Joe Biden, who is considering a White House run of his own, said in December that they’d approached O’Rourke’s camp about his being a vice presidential candidate,” Marketwatch reported in February.

But this guy definitely didn’t donate: “Ted Cruz easily beat you and @realDonaldTrump will crush you,” he wrote, raining on the “Beto proud” parade. “Our economy is thriving, our climate is far cleaner than China or India and improving, GDP is fantastic and we don’t need illegal aliens, child trafficking, Mexican Drug Cartels or socialist agendas in US #BorderWall”

Obama DOJ Blocked FBI From Scrutinizing Clinton Foundation

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans have released the transcript of a closed-door interview of disgraced and fired former FBI official Peter Strzok, who acted as a point man for both the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email server investigation and its Trump-Russia probe.

The Strzok testimony, which is from June 2018, is creating a buzz on social media and appears to offer more insight into the FBI’s activities during the 2016 presidential election season.

Strzok testified that Hillary Clinton and the Department of Justice seemingly struck a deal that blocked the FBI from accessing her private, home-brew email server for information relevant to the Clinton Foundation.

Jerry Dunleavy of the Washington Examiner reports:

When asked by then-majority general counsel Zachary Somers if “the Clinton Foundation was on the server”, Strzok testified that he believed it was “on one of the servers, if not the others.” But Strzok stressed that due to an agreement between the [Department of Justice] and Clinton, they were not allowed to search Clinton Foundation emails for information that could help in their investigation.

Strzok further explained in his testimony:

“According to the [DOJ] attorneys, we lacked probable cause to get a search warrant for those servers and projected that either it would take a very long time and/or it would be impossible to get to the point where we could obtain probable cause to get a warrant.”

The Clinton Foundation has developed a reputation as a corrupt influence-peddling racket. The Department of Justice under President Trump has reportedly launched an investigation into whether the foundation acted as a “pay-to-play” scheme.

The release of the Peter Strzok transcripts comes the same week that Republicans released the transcripts from an interview of Lisa Page, Strzok’s FBI colleague and mistress. Page’s bombshell testimony confirmed that Hillary Clinton received what amounted to a secret pre-pardon from the Obama Department of Justice.

Both Strzok and Page were dismissed from Robert Mueller’s special counsel staff after texts surfaced showing that they not only had personal animosity against candidate Trump, but they were also prepared to take action in their official capacity as FBI agents to “stop” him from winning the 2016 election. The two also discussed an “insurance policy,” which Page later admitted was the Russia investigation, that was intended to delegitimize Trump’s mandate.
