NYC Mayor Mandani was angry about Israel eliminating Ahmed Wishah, an Al Jazeera “journalist” yesterday.
This is him. 👇
Does he seem an innocent “journalist” to you?
The World Cup has destroyed decades of leftist propaganda about the United States in the past week or so.

Your odds of being struck by lightning are more than seven times greater than getting Hantavirus in the USA.
About 250 people get struck by lightening each year.
There are about 35 cases per year of Hantavirus in the UEA, with about 12 deaths per year on average.
Obviously, Hantavirus shouldn't be a big concern for the vast majority of Americans.

TMZ says it is still hunting for footage of vacationing members of Congress and it's now gone international.
The outlet says about 30 lawmakers were spotted touring a castle in Scotland and “guess who's footing the bill? YOU.”
During his Palm Sunday message yesterday, Pope Leo XIV said: "(Christ) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them."
As a blanket statement, this is EXPLICITLY heterodoxical. We know from the Scriptures that Moses prayed and received victory in war, as did several Israelite kings such as David. In fact, whole chunks of the Psalms -- when David prayed for wartime victory over his enemies -- would now be in error according to Pope Leo XIV. Then there's the fact when Christ returns it will be with a robe dipped in blood and a sword in His mouth. But I'm sure that's merely decorative. Ironically, the best thing this pope accomplished with his hippy dippy Palm Sunday message is confirm my belief in Sola Scriptura.
But let's take it further and look at this from an explicitly Catholic perspective. This would also be a repudiation of the history of the Catholic Church this pope presides over, which several times righteously went to war to preserve itself and the West. Which we should all still be thankful for today. For example, Pope Pius V attributed his legendary victory over the Ottomans (Muslims) in 1517 (the very year Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation) to the Rosary prayers of the faithful HE INSTRUCTED to pray. And that victory was considered such a supernatural miracle of prayer, that Pope Pius V was later sainted. I'm sure the Ottomans were repelled without any bloodshed.
This from this pope is not a Christian sentiment in any way, shape, or form but a ridiculously hippy and worldly one. The kind of stuff fools who pray over blocks of ice and visit climate conferences think and say. And to ironically drop it in a message on the day Christ is welcomed to Jerusalem as the "son of David" -- who prayed many of those answered wartime prayers to God -- is especially revolting.
Perhaps this pope should research if God answers the prayers of heretics?
The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph.
Both pilots are dead.
Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years.
A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when.
The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day.
The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country.
Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years.
Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday.
The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement.
The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision.
The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.”
One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.
