The manufacturer of the door plug that blew out of an Alaska Airlines flight and plummeted 16,000 feet onto an Oregon man’s property was the target of a recent class-action lawsuit that alleged “widespread and sustained quality failures.”
The federal lawsuit against Spirit Aerosystems was filed less than a month before the mid-air emergency aboard the ill-fated Boeing 737 MAX 9 on Friday, NBC News reported.
Investors in the company — the main supplier of fuselage parts to Boeing — had emphasized the importance of the 737 MAX program after deadly accidents involving the model in 2018 and 2019, according to the outlet.

Vivek Ramaswamy certainly seems to have a talent in knowing how to deal with media. We've seen this now on multiple occasions where he has taken apart reporters who try to take him out but find the tables being turned on them. The most recent examples of this were when he decimated NBC's Dasha Burns as well as a WaPo reporter on questions about racism and white supremacy.But the questions he asked the media on Wednesday were truly something else. He was talking with two state reps, and one of them wanted to know if there was any of the national media who believed they were wrong.
President Trump held a press conference in New York City on Thursday following his latest show trial appearance in Judge Engoron’s courtroom.
President Trump is being sued in a New York City courtroom in a civil fraud lawsuit against former president and his family for allegedly inflating the values of some of their properties. There are no victims in the case. All of the banks Trump took out loans with were paid on time and in full and would gladly do business with him again.
James wants to steal $370 million from the Trump family business for this non-crime.
On Thursday President Trump spoke after today’s hearing.
Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) loses to His Fraudulency Joe Biden, while former President Trump crushes the sitting president.
If the 2024 presidential election were held today, Trump would defeat Hunter’s Dad by a margin of 49 percent to 41 percent, according to polling from Rasmussen Reports.
If Nikki Haley is the 2024 Republican nominee, she would lose to Biden by two points, 36 to 38 percent.Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) would only eke out a single-point margin against Biden, 42 to 41 percent.
For those dumb enough to still trust the corporate media, here’s a mind-bender: Trump does much better with black voters than DeSantis and Haley.
The poem by Emma Lazarus on the base of the Statue of Liberty was gospel for the Democratic Party under President Donald Trump. Airhead CNN personality Jim Acosta made a name for himself quoting the “Give us your tired, your poor” lines like they were legally binding and not just part of an old fundraising pitch to the public to raise money to build the statue’s base. These Democrats were outraged any government impediments would be put in place to hinder the endless flow of illegal aliens into the country. Now that they’re getting a big dose of their own medicine, those Democrats are singing a different tune.
The US and UK militaries launched strikes against multiple Houthi targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Thursday, marking a significant response after the Biden administration and its allies warned that the Iran-backed militant group would bear the consequences of repeated drone and missile attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
President Joe Biden said he ordered the strikes “in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea.”
“Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces—together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands—successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen
When Amalija Knavs passed away on January 9th, President Trump and his attorneys requested that Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over Trump’s New York civil fraud trial, grant a postponement for closing arguments, so that the president could be with Melania as they mourned their family’s loss.
Engoron offered phony condolences, saying he was “sorry to hear the sad news,” but promptly denied the request, writing in an email to Trump’s counsel, “I WILL NOT GRANT ANY FURTHER EXTENSIONS.”
Johns Hopkins Hospital has sparked outrage after its DEI chief sent out a letter labeling all white people, Christians, men and English-speakers as 'privileged'.
The letter, posted on Twitter by End Wokeness, was written by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, was part of the 'monthly diversity digest'.
A furious hospital employee shared the memo with the Twitter account. In it, Dr. Hill explains that 'privilege' is the 'diversity word of the month'.
To explain who the phrase applies to, she offered a list. It reads: 'Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it.

President Joe Biden conceded Thursday that December’s inflation report shows that the administration must do more to lower costs and cautioned that Republicans taking the White House instead would raise prices for households.
The December Consumer Price Index featured both month-to-month and year-over-year inflation clocking in above projections. Monthly inflation increased by 0.3% while yearly inflation rose by 3.4%, compared to estimates of 0.2% and 3.2% respectively. The report comes as the Federal Reserve weighs future rate increases following nearly three years of hikes.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pulled back the curtain on the “whole game” as he delivered eyebrow-raising predictions about the 2024 race to the White House.
In a video posted Wednesday evening shortly after news that GOP contender Chris Christie dropped out of the race, Ramaswamy addressed the direction of the “two-horse race” between former President Donald Trump – still the reigning GOP frontrunner in polls – and a “puppet” within the Republican Party “who they can control.” (X Video)
The US and the UK are ready to carry out airstrikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as early as tonight - after both countries warned there could be consequences if ships are continually targeted in the Red Sea.
Joint US and British forces shot down 18 drones and three missiles launched by the Houthis late Tuesday, in what was described as their biggest attack so far in solidarity with Palestinians in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
Antony Blinken warned of 'consequences' if the Houthi do not stop attacking ships in the Red Sea, and called on Iran to end their support for the rebels.
Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 16,000 Chinese migrants who crossed the border between ports of entry since the new fiscal year began on October 1, according to unofficial reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas. This number is nearly two-thirds of the Chinese migrants apprehended during the entire Fiscal Year 23, which ended on September 30.
Since October 1, 2023, Border Patrol agents apprehended approximately 15,800 Chinese nationals who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry, the report indicates. Official reports from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveal the apprehension of 9,844 migrants in October and November. This leaves nearly 6,800 who were apprehended since December 1, 2023.
In a fiery interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) did not hold back in her criticism of Speaker Mike Johnson, suggesting his leadership is failing Republicans and that he might need to be removed from his position.
This comes after Johnson announced a $1.590 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2024, earning praise from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)
The proposed budget has sparked outrage among members of the House Freedom Caucus.
New York and Texas public schools are displaying maps in classrooms that replace Israel with a a united Palestine.
One map, hanging on a classroom wall at PS 261 Zipporiah Mills in Brooklyn since at least April, is a colorful display of the Arab World with popular landmarks.
However, where Israel and Palestine would usually be is one shaded area labeled 'Palestine', with no mention of Israel at all.
The classroom is used by Palestinian-American teacher Rita Lahoud to teach pre-kindergarten to fifth grade students about Arabic culture and language.
She teaches a program funded by the Qatar Foundation International, a nonprofit owned by the Qatari Government.
Harvard University students filed a lawsuit against university officials on Wednesday, claiming they have failed to protect Jewish students from “severe and pervasive” antisemitic harassment sparked by the Israel-Hama war.
In a 79-page federal civil complaint, six Harvard graduate and law students who are members of Students Against Antisemitism say the university “has become a bastion of rampant anti-Jewish hatred and harassment.”
The suit says pro-Palestinian protests on campus have been rife with “vile” bigotry against Jews and Israel.

A United Airlines flight from Sarasota, Florida, made an emergency landing at the next-closest airport after an “open door” indicator light illuminated Wednesday, less than a week after the shocking mid-flight Alaska Airlines door plug blow-out.
United Flight 2434 was heading to Chicago when the light came on, causing the pilots to alert dispatchers and reroute the plane to Tampa, according to a spokesperson for the airport. The plane departed Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport at 3:42 p.m. and was diverted to Tampa International Airport, where it landed safely at 4:35 p.m., according to flight tracking website Flight Aware.

NEW YORK — Barred from giving a formal closing argument, Donald Trump still seized an opportunity to speak in court at the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial Thursday, unleashing a barrage of attacks in a six-minute diatribe before being cut off by the judge.
Trump spoke as the judge was trying to find out if the former president would follow rules requiring him to keep his remarks focused on matters related to the trial. Asked whether he would comply with the guidelines, Trump defied the judge and simply launched into his speech.
“We have a situation where I am an innocent man,” Trump protested.
Sigh. Does the left ever get tired of finger-pointing? Not a day goes by without a self-appointed justice warrior either screaming at or whining about some perceived wrong against a leftist person or group. Leftists' beliefs are so radical that no action against them is necessary for them to feel victimized. You can offend the left simply by existing.
The Johns Hopkins University DEI office, led by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, demonstrated a perfect example of this type of delusion. Golden, who is African American, sent an email out earlier this month to employees of the university. End Wokeness posted a screenshot of the email on X.
Rental car company giant Hertz, which made big news in 2022 when it announced it planned to buy 175,000 electric vehicles from General Motors to diversify its fleet, now says it plans to sell about a third of its global evs this year and use the proceeds to buy gasoline powered cars instead.In a government filing Thursday, Hertz Global Holdings Inc. said it started selling about 20,000 evs from its U.S. fleet last month.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced an investigation into Boeing after an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing when a door plug fell off the fuselage midair.
“This incident should have never happened and it cannot happen again,” the FAA said in a statement Thursday. The administration said it notified Boeing of its investigation, which will look into whether Boeing “failed to ensure completed products conformed to its approved design and were in a condition for safe operation in compliance with FAA regulations.” “This investigation is a result of an incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX where it lost a ‘plug’ type passenger door and additional discrepancies,”
The governors of New York and California announced sweeping plans to crack down on retail crime this week, as trade associations and police departments lobby for government action to curb theft.
The plans include new legislation designed to increase the penalties for retail crime offenses and more funding for police departments and district attorney’s offices to help them tackle theft.
During an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that President Joe Biden “has delivered for the American people in such a way that nobody seems to grasp.” And that Biden “can be a greater President when we get people to understand all of what he has done rather than to listen to all of the garbage, the disinformation that’s going on out there and look at the facts and stop listening to all of this tweeting and stuff that’s going on out there that’s not good for the American people.”

Jill Biden slammed the 'horrible' House Republicans for showing nude photographs of Hunter Biden in their hearings and said what they are doing to her son is 'cruel.'
'What they are doing to Hunter is cruel, and I'm really proud of how he has rebuilt his life after addiction. I love my son. It's hurt my grandchildren. That's what I’m so concerned about, that it's affecting their lives as well,' the first lady said in an interview that aired on Morning Joe on Thursday.

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis secretly colluded with the one-sided, Democrat-run January 6 Committee to obtain tips that would help her prosecute Donald Trump — and tried to keep it out of court, and public view, using a procedural trick.
The revelation could upend the prosecution of Trump and 18 co-defendants because the evidence was concealed to keep it away from discovery requirements that would allow defense lawyers to see what was shared, and the extent of the collaboration.

California governor Gavin Newsom proposed a $292 billion state budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, driving economists to wonder why he plans only $8.5 billion in real spending cuts against what the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office says is a projected $68 billion deficit. (snip) “[The governor’s plan] seems to be a combination of some spending cuts and a bunch of budget gimmicks,” said Pacific Research Institute Senior Fellow for Business and Economics Wayne Winegarden in an interview with The Center Square.
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that two California teachers who were placed on administrative leave for refusing to hide students’ gender transitions from parents should be reinstated.
Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West filed a lawsuit against the Escondido Union School District (EUSD) and the California State Board of Education in April last year over a policy that required educators to hide a child’s preferred pronouns and gender identity if a student asks to keep parents in the dark. Mirabelli and West were put on administrative leave in May, but a judge ruled this week that the district must reinstate the teachers.
The World Bank's private investment arm has mobilised nearly $1 billion to rebuild Ukraine's private sector and is shifting its broader investment focus towards equity, its managing director told Reuters.
Around $620 million of the funds mobilised for Ukraine - part of a $2 billion package announced in December 2022 - are from the investment arm's own balance sheet and another $360 million from external financing, said Makhtar Diop, managing director of the International Finance Corp (IFC). But the path ahead is not without its challenges.

TOPLINE U.S. and European government officials have poorly tracked military aid for Ukraine worth more than $1 billion, creating concerns the weapons have been stolen, according to a Defense Department report released Thursday, amid contested efforts by American lawmakers to provide additional funding for Ukraine’s war against Russia. KEY FACTS
Just over $1 billion of the estimated $1.69 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine are considered “delinquent,” which was likely caused by “an inability to maintain complete accountability” of the inventory in government databases, according to a redacted report by the Defense Department’s inspector general Thursday.

The Electric Car Con Explained
replies
Is electricity a source of energy? Most people will answer yes, which is incorrect. Electricity carries energy but it is not itself a source of energy, which in the U.S. is supplied 60% by natural gas and coal, 18% nuclear and 22% renewables (hydro, solar and wind).
The related question is whether cars are a major consumer of energy and hence a significant contributor of Co2 emissions? Again, most people believe both statements are self-evidently true, hence the importance of moving to electric cars.
In fact, cars (light-duty transportation) account for less than 5% of global energy demand, with U.S. cars accounting for 19% of the global car fleet,

Former White House coronavirus advisor Anthony Fauci doesn't believe the lab leak explanation of COVID-19's origins is a conspiracy theory. He admitted as much during a closed-door grilling session before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Monday. Legislators did not release a transcript of his testimony, but Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R–Ohio), the chairman of the subcommittee, published some highlights on X (formerly Twitter).

One of sports’ most iconic coaching tenures is over. The Patriots and Bill Belichick will part ways on Thursday, ESPN.com reported.
Rumors had swirled around Belichick’s future all season as the Patriots finished with a 4-13 record and missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.
He’s enjoyed little success without Tom Brady, and is now without a job. Belichick, widely regarded as one of the best coaches of all time, if not the best, led the Patriots for 24 years, famously winning six Super Bowls with the team.
It caps a wild 24 hours that also saw legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban retire.

San Francisco Unified School District administrators instructed high-school teachers to engage in classroom discussions about the Israel-Hamas war using an educational resource that argues, “Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than that of the Palestinians,” according to memos obtained by a parental-rights watchdog group and shared exclusively with with National Review.
In memos to social-studies and ethnic-studies departments, discovered by Parents Defending Education, the district provided teachers with a host of resources to help lead classroom discussions on “war, terrorism, colonization, and seeking peace.” The first of the listed resources, Teach Mideast, promotes multiple anti-Zionist articles and viewpoints

After two hours of going at each other with hammer and tong, there was a clear winner at the debate between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley at Drake University last night sponsored by CNN. But he wasn’t in the building.
Instead, Donald Trump was across town, speaking at a town hall hosted by a different cable network, floating the tantalizing claim that he has already chosen his running mate.
If it seems brazen to make an announcement before the first primary season votes have been cast, there’s a reason: With less than a week before the Iowa caucuses, Trump maintains
Over the last several years, the U.S. Military has struggled to meet recruitment goals across all branches, perhaps most of all with the Army.
One of the reasons for this has now been explained. White men are no longer enlisting in the numbers they did in the past.
Families which used to encourage young men to enlist are doing so in far fewer numbers for reasons which are obvious to many. New woke policies, the vaccine mandates and the embrace of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies mean white recruits are looked over for advancement in the US Military today. All of these factors have all contributed to this decline
Former President Donald Trump got to command a stage all to himself at a prime time Fox News town hall in Iowa, where he was cheered by Iowa supporters but was still forced to state flat out that he was not 'going to be a dictator.'
Trump made the comment when co-host Bret Baier asked him about his recent that there would be 'bedlam' in the country if his criminal prosecutions continue.
That brought a long explanation from Trump about his comments to fellow Fox host Sean Hannity. Trump had told Hannity he woudl be a 'dictator for one day,' in comments that drew backlash.

Willis hired Atlanta-based private attorney Nathan Wade as a special prosecutor in the case against Trump and 18 of his associates over their alleged actions following the 2020 election.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley took to the debate stage here less than a week before Iowa caucus-goers will select their chosen candidate in the GOP primary.
The debate’s tone was immediately negative, with Haley and DeSantis lobbing attacks at each other from the start. DeSantis sought to paint Haley as a “corporatist” Republican beholden to donors while Haley accused DeSantis of lying and repeatedly plugged her campaign’s attack website against him.
Not only is Anthony Fauci a shameless flip-flopper, but he’s an extremely sloppy one at that—why are these criminals in politics (pardon the redundancy) so incapable of covering their tracks?

How does Hunter Biden leave the “Laptop from Hell,” containing graphic evidence of criminal activity, with some civilian computer repair store man? How does Fauci “confess” to Capitol Hill lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing guidance “sort of just appeared” out of the ether,

If the ruler of Qatar really wanted to end the hostage saga, all he has to do is issue an ultimatum to Hamas that if the hostages are not released within, say, 48 hours, he will expel all the Hamas leaders who are still in Qatar and stop funding and providing political support to the group. Arab dictators are not known to be merciful toward those who defy them.
Apparently, Qatar does not feel that it is under any pressure from the Biden administration to end the ordeal of the hostages.
If Hamas released the hostages and laid down its weapons, the war would end tomorrow.
In this video [see below], presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is essentially describing the “splitter strategy” CTH has discussed and outlined in granular detail for years.

On this facet of his commentary, Ramaswamy is correct. However, from there he gets things wrong. Yes, as we have said, the Chris Christie exit is part of the continuum.

records in a hostile head-to-head Republican debate replies
In their most hostile encounter yet, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis attacked each other early and often in Wednesday’s Republican primary debate rather than focus on Donald Trump, the absent front-runner, as both tried to demonstrate they were the strongest alternative to the former president.
DeSantis and Haley called each other liars and insulted each other’s records and character in the opening minutes of the debate. They seemed to relish the chance to go head to head without their lower-polling rivals interrupting, as in past debates. The two Republicans instead drilled into each other’s policy ideas and directed viewers to dueling fact-checking websites their campaigns set up.
President Trump, during his town hall on FOX News, shared that he has already decided who he will pick for his next Vice President.
The topic was brought up when FOX News’s Town Hall moderator Martha MacCallum asked Trump, “If you are the nominee, who would be in the running for Vice President?”
Trump responded, “I can’t tell you that, really.”
The 45th President continued “I know who it’s gonna be. We’ll do another show sometime.” It’s pretty clear it won’t be spineless turncoat Mike Pence.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) on Wednesday released a survey that named “extreme weather” and “misinformation” as the factors most likely to trigger a global crisis in 2024.
The latest edition of WEF’s annual Global Risks Report said the world is “plagued by a duo of dangerous crises: climate and conflict.” The report was compiled by polling “nearly 1,500 global experts from academia, business, government, the international community and civil society.”
84 percent of those experts expected a “stormy,” “turbulent,” or “unsettled” global risk environment over the next two years, rising to 93 percent over a ten-year timeline. “Stormy,” the worst category in the WEF report, means “global catastrophic risks looming.”
Pollsters love to ask the generic ballot question: without naming names, “If the elections for Congress were held today, would you vote for the Democratic candidate or for the Republican candidate?” It is a basic measure of party strength as the next election approaches.
