A United Airlines Boeing 787 flight was forced to make an emergency landing at an airport in Upstate New York after 'extreme turbulence' injured passengers on board.
The Newark-bound flight from Tel Aviv was diverted to New York Stewart International Airport because of reported 'extreme turbulence' on Friday.
There were 312 passengers on board the Boeing 787 - seven of which were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Another 15 of the passengers were treated on site for injuries sustained during the flight, according to New Windsor EMS.
Critics reacted in alarm this week after the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri awarded the Associated Press with a “Pictures of the Year” award for photos including an Israeli victim of Hamas.
The most controversial photograph shows the body of 23-year-old Shani Louk, a German-Israeli dual citizen who was kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, on the back of a truck. Video would later show Palestinians abusing her corpse. The Associated Press won “Team Picture Story of the Year” for its coverage of the “Israel and Hamas War.” The accompanying statement by the Reynolds Journalism Institute is riddled with inaccuracies: claiming that Hamas kidnapped

Journalists in the White House press corps covering President Joe Biden’s administration habitually steal insignia items from Air Force One, four people told West Wing Playbook.
The looting reportedly grew to such a degree under Biden’s tenure that the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, NBC correspondent Kelly O’Donnell, issued a “terse reminder” that stealing from Air Force One is not allowed, several individuals who saw the off-the-record email confirmed to Playbook.None of the members of the press corps reportedly responded to O’Donnell’s email.

Remember the wedding website case that came out of Colorado and went all the way to the Supreme Court? It’s finally over, and it ended beautifully. Bigly beautifully.
I’ll let the district court describe the facts:
“Plaintiff Lorie Smith . . . offers a variety of creative services, including website design, to the public. Ms. Smith intends to expand the scope of [her] services to include the design, creation, and publication of wedding websites. However, [Smith] will decline any request to design, create, or promote content that promotes any conception of marriage other than marriage between one man and one woman.
As part of its aggressive green agenda, the Biden administration on Friday imposed new strict pollution standards for buses, trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles that would all but necessitate electrification.
Released by the Environmental Protection Agency, the rule progressively restricts the level of pollution trucks can legally emit across a manufacturer’s offerings for model years 2027 through 2032.
The rule applies to vehicles, including tractor-trailers, school buses, R.V.s, garbage trucks, and cement mixers, and aims to combat climate impact from this part of the transportation sector.
I was the only child of two only-children. So, not much aunt-uncle-cousin action in my life. Which may explain the intense focus on my parents, especially Dad.
I’ve mentioned him before in this ongoing series of personal Memories. (They are all linked below.) How he taught me the alphabet pre-kindergarten by helping me cut out, sand, and paint little plywood letters of the entire alphabet many times over. Which I then endlessly arranged in pretend words on the carpet.
And here I am three-quarters of a century later, still arranging those same letters, only these days on a laptop.

It's almost like left-wing media sock puppets are locked in a battle over who can make the most vile, inappropriate, and repulsive statements about all things conservative — and of course, about former President Donald Trump. Most of these "journalists" are a dime a dozen, except for race-hustler extraordinaire, MSNBC's Joy Reid and Trump-loathing "Morning Joe" co-host, Joe Scarborough. In my book, Scarborough took home the trophy on Friday.
Scarborough once again trotted out a Trump-Hitler analogy, with a couple of new Nazi comparisons tossed in just for grins —
Pennsylvania rules that require mail-in ballots to be dated are legal, a federal appeals court has ruled.
A state law that says voters must fill out, date, and sign envelopes containing the ballots is not prevented by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a majority said in the March 27 ruling.
The act bans denying “the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application, registration or other act requisite to voting.”

The contrast between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on Thursday in New York City was sharp. Trump attended the wake for NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was allegedly killed by a man with 21 arrests, and Trump spoke with Diller's family. Meanwhile, Joe Biden attended a fancy fundraiser with a lot of celebrities, along with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton there to help him raise money.
Not only was that a horrible look for Democratic priorities, but they also got anti-Israel protesters at the event. That ticked off Barack Obama, who got frustrated at them.
“You can’t just talk and not listen,” Obama said to the protesters.

Three Notable Departures From John Fetterman's

The political metamorphosis of Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) over the last few months has been nothing short of remarkable, with the Menendez indictment and the Israel-Hamas war seeming to be two of the main turning points for what some political observers have described as his rightward shift.
In addition to that, Fetterman has given public statements acknowledging that the Biden border crisis is a big problem - something his Democratic colleagues never do, has scorched California's Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom on occasion, and even showed compassion towards Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and her son at a time when not many people would.
A mass shooting at a concert hall in Moscow killed more than 130 people. With many others seriously or gravely wounded the number of dead is likely to rise. [SNIP] The question that must be asked, as it has been suggested for some time, due to our open southern border, is this: Could it happen here? The answer must be an unequivocal yes. In fact, it has already happened here on Sept. 11, 2001.
Does anyone seriously think America’s enemies would not be encouraged by that previous attack and the Moscow atrocity to conduct a repeat operation in America?

We've been reporting on the huge flood of illegal aliens pouring across the southern border, and for more than three years now, Joe Biden has done nothing substantive to try to slow the flow. In addition to all the resulting problems like the overwhelming of the system, the drugs and crime that has resulted from all this, it puts our nation in great danger because it's a massive national security threat. The Biden team has no idea who is coming across that border.
There have been a lot of questions about Chinese men of military age coming across the border in ever-increasing numbers.
If things were going swimmingly for Democrats, they wouldn’t be looking to these two to give Joe Biden a hand on the campaign trail. It’s a sign that Democrats aren’t taking any chances since the political landscape changed. The 2024 race is going to be a base election. Trump doesn’t have an issue in that department, but Biden is facing defections among core groups of what was the Obama coalition. As much as Democrats might see dragooning Barack Obama and Bill Clinton out of retirement to help the aging and dementia-ridden president, it also highlights one significant flaw about Biden.
The man has zero political skill.
Actor Michael Rapaport said he won’t vote for President Joe Biden in November, explaining he “won’t support anyone anti-Israel or anti-making America safe.”
He added that voting for former President Donald Trump — who has consistently been pro-Israel — “is on the table.”
Michael Rapaport discussed the upcoming presidential election in an interview this week with the outlet Visegrád 24. (X Video) The actor said, “I will not support anyone who is anti-Israel. I will not support anyone that is anti-making America safe.”
In an appalling violation of the code of ethics, US District Judge Reggie Walton went on CNN to speak publicly about pending legal matters.
Judge Walton, a Bush appointee, spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Thursday evening about threats he has received after he called Trump a “charlatan” and rendered excessive punishment to J6 defendants.
“I’ve had more threats than what used to be the case,” the judge said referring to a January 6 case he oversaw.

Three individuals who claimed to be FBI agents visited a woman in Oklahoma. If there were any examples of the Department of Justice becoming Joe Biden’s personal Stasi, this is it—they were there to ask the woman about the anti-Biden memes she posted on Facebook. Of course, she wasn’t going to answer any of their questions, only declaring that what she did was an exercise of her constitutional right to free speech on a social media platform. The agent gives a number for the FBI office in Oklahoma City before departing. [Videos]

Fugitive Venezuelan migrant Leonel Moreno has finally been arrested by ICE after almost two years on the run.
The 27-year-old was picked up in Columbus, Ohio and is now in federal custody, Fox's Bill Melugin reports.
Moreno has been hunted by ICE since he crossed the border illegally at Eagle Pass, Texas in April 2022.
He was released as part of the Alternatives to Detention Program, which lets migrants on parole go free while officials track them until their next court date.
The Democrats' plans to pre-rig the 2024 presidential election with the help of corrupt judges and prosecutors aren't going well, and their frustration is beginning to show.
Their ambitions were grand. The judges and prosecutors they enlisted were so willing to pervert the law that the Dems were certain that Donald Trump wouldn't get anywhere near the nomination, let alone Election Day. For a long time, Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media were expending equal amounts of energy on attacking Ron DeSantis, because that's who they thought they were going to face in November.
Not that they thought DeSantis would steamroll through the GOP primaries, mind you,
Could it really take twice as long and four times as much money to replace the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge than it did to build it in the first place?
The Key Bridge was built at a cost (adjusted for inflation) of about $200 million. Replacing it could take a decade and cost $400 million to $800 million dollars, according to experts in what has become a dismal field.
“To actually recreate that whole transportation network" could take a decade or more, structural engineer Ben Schafer told USA Today on Wednesday. Huge projects, Schafer said, now take “rarely less than 10 years."

Special Counsel Jack Smith's efforts to imprison Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents have hit a few snags recently, and the latest snag is, indeed, a big one.
"Special Counsel Jack Smith could be blocked from using evidence against Donald Trump contained in grand jury investigation files, which were transferred to the former president's Florida classified documents case this week, a former prosecutor has suggested," reports Newsweek. "In 2023, a grand jury in Washington, D.C., heard evidence from witnesses—including Trump's attorney, Evan Corcoran—while considering whether charges should be brought against the former president and others for hoarding classified documents.

March 29, 2024, is Good Friday, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the White House website. A slew of presidential proclamations were posted to the site Friday, including a Proclamation on Cesar Chavez Day, a Proclamation on Arab American Heritage Month, and several others, but, as of this writing, no proclamation acknowledging Good Friday.
Joe Biden often boasts about his Catholic faith and his regular church attendance, yet acknowledging this holy day for Christians was apparently beneath him.
Making the omission even worse is that one of the proclamations issued on Friday was for the so-called Transgender Day of Visibility —

Gov. Kathy Hochul left the wake for slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller Friday afternoon after a tense confrontation with another man in attendance.
Hochul arrived at the Massapequa Funeral Home on Long Island for the second day of viewings around 1:45 p.m.
She was only in the venue for about 10 minutes before she was spotted in a clash with a man in a black suit, video shows. Several cops waiting outside the funeral home then clapped as he walked away.
Video footage captured the shocking moment a pro-Palestine mob overran a city council meeting that was discussing Holocaust Remembrance Day in California.
The protestors disrupted a Berkeley city council meeting on Tuesday, shouting anti-Semitic slurs at the crowd, as seen in videos shared by the Jewish Community Relations Council on X.
During the meeting, a Holocaust survivor and a mother sharing her son's experience with anti-Semitism at school were heckled and laughed at by the protesters.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her favorite Republican, Michael Steele, oohed and awed on Thursday’s The ReidOut over President Joe Biden’s fundraiser with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and a cast of celebrities, including CBS’s Stephen Colbert. Not only did they fawn over Biden, they thought the fact that Donald Trump “can’t do this” and that George W. Bush won’t do it for him deserved to be some election-defining revelation.
Steele was joined by Columbia University journalism dean, Jelani Cobb, whom Reid referenced when she gushed, “But I think, to Jelani’s point, it's just the fact that Joe Biden can gather former presidents to himself.
Last month, conservative news host Jesse Kelly told Megyn Kelly on her podcast that “the mentally ill single woman is the beating heart of the Democrat Party.” (snip) For all the talk of female empowerment, progressive women are actually fragile and quite afraid of being labeled as unkind or lacking in empathy, so they rarely question the narrative they’ve been fed. The result is the hypocrisy the left is so well known for — a caring and compassionate veneer with a heart full of judgment and anger. Indeed, hell hath no fury like a single liberal woman.
Last week Donald Trump learned that he will stand trial on April 15 in the first of four criminal cases. And his supporters say they simply don't care whether or not he is convicted.

Some 93 percent said they would still vote for the president.Overall, the results of our poll of 1000 likely voters show Trump maintains his four-point lead over President Joe Biden despite his litany of legal woes.

Until today, I didn't realize that individuals are now being assigned ESG scores that some institutions use to decide whether they will do business with a person.
I obviously knew about ESG scores that huge investment firms are using to force corporations to conform to ideological demands.

A California Democrat wants to tax sales of gold, cotton, tobacco and other goods linked to slavery — and to divert the money to black residents, in the latest bid to turn reparations into reality.
The bill by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer is one of more than a dozen bills backed by the California Legislative Black Caucus seeking reparations for black Californians, especially the descendants of slaves.
They stem from a July 2023 report from the state Reparations Task Force, where Jones-Sawyer served as a member, and underscores efforts to turn controversial policies into a legally-binding compensation scheme.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday that Homeland Security agents raided rapper and business mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s Los Angeles mansion as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The lawsuit filed by producer Rodney Jones claims Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs used his affiliation with Prince Harry, along with other big-time celebrities such as T.D. Jakes, to give himself and his associates legitimacy when throwing sex-trafficking parties where sexual abuse allegedly occurred.
The celebrities in Jones’s lawsuit have not been named defendants in the sex trafficking case.
A judge in Texas struck down a Biden administration rule on March 28 that required states to measure and report the greenhouse gas emissions from any vehicles using the national highway system.
The rule was issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 2023 as part of President Biden’s efforts to slash carbon emissions in half by 2030.
Specifically, it required state transportation departments and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to both measure their transportation-related emissions on the U.S. highway system and set their own emission reduction targets.

Now, a new report has revealed the effort to finish off the gas-powered car is well-underway in eight states.
As The Daily Mail reported Tuesday, the rules being adopted in these states specify that only zero-emission vehicles, which include electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids, can be sold beginning with the 2035 model year. This is known as the Advanced Clean Cars II rule.
Activists protesting in support of Hamas–and one against nuclear war with Russia–repeatedly disrupted a $25 million Democrat fundraiser featuring Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City Thursday night. Through their disruptions, the protesters took control of the event, forcing Biden, Obama and Clinton into an extended discussion about what the protesters wanted them to talk about as the Democrats are facing an internal war of their own this election year between the party’s old pro-Israel base and their new pro-Hamas base.
At one point, an irritated Obama defended his former Vice President Biden from the hecklers, saying, “No, no listen.

The executive actions included restrictions on “ghost guns,” a push for red flag laws, recategorization of AR-15 pistols, and DOJ-led research into gun trafficking.
The Uniparty is quietly scheming (again) to rig the system and prevent President Trump from ever becoming President. This scheme involves a two-part strategy: using a combination of strategically planned retirements of Republican House members, coupled with the passage of carefully tailored legislation to remove President Trump from the ballot on bogus Insurrection grounds that would likely pass muster with moderate justices on the Supreme Court, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who prefer to avoid deciding on “controversial” legal questions and risk being seen in a bad light by their liberal peers.

Roughly every other year for the last 30 years or so, Washington-based journalist Bob Woodward puts out another juicy insider look at the current President and the White House. He's such an institution that there are plenty of copycats.

Claim: Comedian Jon Stewart said this week that the loans at the center of the civil real-estate case against Donald Trump meant there were fewer loans available to other borrowers.
“Money isn’t infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn’t go to someone who’s giving a more honest evaluation. So the system becomes incentivized for corruption,” Stewart said.
Verdict: False.
The amount of money available for loans from banks is not diminished when banks make loans to other customers, except in the rare case of a distressed bank that is capital-constrained. A loan to one customer does not subtract from a fixed pool of loans
An overwhelming majority of Hispanic Americans say calling the illegal alien accused of murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley an “illegal,” as President Joe Biden initially did, is appropriate, a Harvard/Harris poll finds.
During his State of the Union (SOTU) address this month, Biden was pressured by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to address Laken Riley’s murder. Biden ultimately called the suspect accused of murdering Riley, Jose Antonio Ibarra, “an illegal.” Afterward, Biden seemingly told MSNBC he regretted using the term “illegal.”
“Undocumented person and I shouldn’t have used ‘illegal,’ I should have — it’s undocumented,
If the new Fox News poll is accurate, it should be sending off warning bells to Joe Biden because there are multiple elements that indicate big trouble for him. The first is that former President Donald Trump has extended his lead over Biden in their survey. He's now up by five points in the head-to-head numbers, as well as five points ahead of Biden even when adding in the other party candidates. According to Interactive Polls this is the largest lead ever for Trump in Fox polling. Trump also did better in favorability, 45 to 39 percent.
