A group representing major U.S. airlines "strongly urged" the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to extend a proposed deadline to June 2024 to retrofit airplane altimeters to ensure they are not susceptible to 5G wireless interference. Airlines for America (A4A), which represents American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and others also asked the FAA to revise a proposed 5G safety directive "to reflect technical realities and the continued safe operation of many aircraft." The group warned a "material number of aircraft" in U.S. fleets will not be modified by July and without changes it could "severely limit operations" and lead to flight ...

Earlier this week FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin released a bombshell eight-page memo dated Jan. 23 from its Richmond, Va. office. It indicates that they’re looking to intensify its "assessment" and "mitigation" of "Radical Traditionalist Catholics" over the next 12 to 24 months. Click for Full Text!

Is Christianity the enemy of science? Doesn’t the controversy between Galileo and the Catholic Church prove this? Many believe this, because this is what they have been taught. But as Steve Byas explains in this “Beyond the Cover” interview, the truth is very different. Steve is a university history and government instructor who is very familiar with the Galileo case, and who, like both Galileo and the church, believes in both scientific inquiry and in faith. Steve’s feature article “The Galileo Case Revisited” appears in the February 27 issue of The New American. Click for Full Text!

In Britain, You Can Be Arrested for Silently Praying Outside an Abortion Clinic

In Britain, you can be arrested for a thought crime. No, really. In the past few months, several people have been arrested for praying silently outside British abortion clinics. Why? They violated a protection order which effectively creates a strict censorship zone around the facility. While the protection orders were intended to curb aggressive protests or heckling of women seeking services, they stifle a much broader category of speech—and thought. Click for Full Text!
A Texas-Backed Lawsuit Argues That the ATF's Pistol Brace Rule Is Arbitrary and Unconstitutional
Post Date: 2023-02-11 00:42:32 by Charles_Byrd
0 Comments
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Gun Owners of America (GOA) yesterday filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Biden administration's ban on unregistered possession of pistols equipped with stabilizing braces, which took effect on January 31. The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, argues that the ban is arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, and inconsistent with the Second Amendment. Like the Trump administration's ban on bump stocks, the pistol brace rule is based on an implausible reinterpretation of federal law that contradicted the position that federal regulators had taken for years. It therefore raises some of the ...
Credit Suisse Craters After "Staggering" Bank Run And Warning Of Continued Losses

Back in late 2022, when Credit Suisse stock cratered to never before seen levels after a series of dismal earnings reports and regulatory "missteps" sparked a staggering bank run, amounting to some $88 billion forcing the bank to seek emergency liquidity from the Fed via SNB swap lines, and which also led to a historic corporate restructuring which included the de facto closure of the bank's investment bank coupled with mass layoffs and bonus cuts, many thought that would be as bad as it gets as the (rapidly changing) management had finally thrown out the kitchen sink. Boy, were they wrong. Click for Full Text!
The deadly reality of eliminating fossil fuels

It's been interesting to watch the increasing obsession with pushing green energy and the corresponding push-back against fossil fuels. Anyone with a brain knows this is a recipe for disaster, but the world is hurtling down that path anyway. The strange thing is the left doesn't want to wait until the infrastructure is in place to support a smooth transition. No, they want this transition done NOW, the peasants be damned.

The Biden Administration is Lying about the Chinese Balloon

Now that the hysteria surrounding the Chinese “Spy” Balloon I am hoping that logic and reason will take over and we will realize that instead of a NORAD failure that jeopardized national security, the wayward balloon was seized as an opportunity by the Biden Administration to display Biden’s prowess as a Commander in Chief on the eve of the State of the Union address. Of course the incompetents that surround the equally feckless Biden turned the incident into a dangerous clown show. Let us start with NORAD. The Commander of NORAD admitted that he was aware of the balloon as it approached Alaska but judged it “harmless.” Click for Full Text!

I returned to Brussels on Sunday after a month of travels in exotic and warm lands south of the equator. The re-entry shock upon arrival in Belgium was a lot greater than the 27 degree Centigrade drop in outdoor air temperature. After a month of only very limited reception of Russian news, due to satellite issues and hotel service issues, last night I switched on Russian state television’s news and talk show “Sixty Minutes” on www.smotrim.ru and got a full blast of the current state of relations with the US, which are very close to Doomsday. Allow me to share with you the key point, namely the soon to be announced changes to the Russian doctrine on first use of nuclear ...

Several well-financed organizations are leading the effort to blacklist conservative media, claiming the news outlets spread disinformation, according to the Washington Examiner. Ostensibly nonpartisan groups that claim to be fighting the spread of disinformation online are developing covert blacklists and turning them over to advertising agencies, with the goal of shutting down speech they don't agree with, according to emails obtained by the outlet, public memos, and sources familiar with the situation.

Research Confirms the Stereotype: Liberals Confuse Emotion With Rationality

Liberals are not only more likely than conservatives to suppose that “emotion is a feature of rationality,” a series of three studies has shown, but also apparently believe it should be. In fact, they consider emotions more “functional” (utilitarian, essentially) than conservatives do despite reporting less emotional well-being. The research was published in the journal Motivation and Emotion. Click for Full Text!

A senior leader of the Kuomintang (KMT), Taiwan’s main opposition party, is visiting China this week to meet its top Taiwan policymaker, the party announced, in the wake of persistent military and political hostilities between the two sides.

Remembering the Great Pizza Funeral of 1973

Fifty years ago this March, dozens of people gathered in Ossineke, Michigan, for one of the strangest funerals in American history. They were there to witness the burial of nearly 30,000 frozen pizzas that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had deemed inedible. The pizzas actually were just fine. At the center of the "Great Pizza Funeral" was Mario Fabbrini, an Italian immigrant who founded Papa Fabbrini Pizzas after settling in Michigan. In February 1973, Fabbrini heard from officials at the FDA, which was issuing a widespread recall of canned mushrooms after a suspected outbreak of botulism at a canning facility in Ohio. Fabbrini submitted samples of his pizzas to the FDA ...
The Fight Over the Debt Ceiling Is Just Beginning

People are uneasy about the debt ceiling fight. Many think it's unhealthy and a sign of poor fiscal management, and they are right. However, they should get used to it. These budget fights will keep getting more frequent and more intense. That's because no one wants to talk about budget restraints. The truth is that existing spending commitments are rapidly shrinking the share of the budget that politicians have control over as their appetite for spending expands. Those who believe that government is the answer to all problems are always full of ideas about new programs to be funded. They want to prepare for the next pandemic or emergency by funding new government capabilities. ...
After Muslim Students Complained That an Art Exhibit Was 'Harmful,' Macalester College Shut It Down

Yet another Minnesota college is embroiled in a controversy after a group of Muslim students expressed outrage over "offensive" art. Last month, Macalester College—a liberal arts college just two miles from Hamline University, where a similar controversy involving an adjunct art history professor erupted in December—briefly shut down an exhibit from an Iranian-American artist over student claims that some of the work displayed caused "harm." While the school later reinstated the art exhibit, it wasn't without caveats. Now, pages of construction paper are posted on the glass gallery doors to block the work from view, along with a "content ...

An opportunity to create with compassion. An opportunity to fight fearlessly for our future.” Less than a month later, Gov. Moore announced his support for a state constitutional amendment that would “protect abortion rights.” So much for the “future.” Click for Full Text!

A big hint is if your voluntary compliance is met with massive enforcement efforts, garnishment of wages, and seizure of your property, it’s not voluntary. I too remember the less than heady days of less than 24 hours ago when Biden promised that there wouldn’t be a tax increase on anyone making less than 400K. Click for Full Text!
