United Airlines Flight 2005, operating from O’Hare International Airport to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, was forced to divert to Dane County Regional Airport after a Level 4 security incident was reported on board. Authorities said law enforcement personnel who were on the aircraft successfully restrained the individual involved until the plane landed, where additional officers were waiting to take over the situation.
What Exactly Happened?
The United Airlines flight number UAL2005 departed from the Chicago O’Hare International Airport on May 29 2026, 8:31 PM CDT (May 30, 7:01 AM IST) and was scheduled to arrive at Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport. However, mid-flight, a passenger, whose details

he is: physical replies
President Trump received a largely clean bill of health at his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, including a "normal" score of 30 out of 30 on his cognitive assessment, according to a White House memo attributed to his physician, undermining liberal speculation of a President Biden-like mental decline.
Physician to the President Sean Barbabella's May 29 memo, which unlike his memo for Trump's annual physical in April 2025 does not appear to have been posted on the White House website, only noted two deficiencies.
The president has "slight lower leg swelling," which has "improved" from last year when he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, and
The 119th Congress has taken roughly 16 breaks from Capitol Hill thus far despite a record-long shutdown and a war with Iran.
The House and Senate followed through with their recesses during historically rocky times, including when the longest government shutdown in history took place in the Fall of 2025, lasting 43 days. During that time, Speaker Mike Johnson extended district work periods and the House did not return for regular votes, while the Senate took short breaks that prolonged the shutdown.
Throughout the shutdown, the Senate reconvened for votes during the first week of October and continued meeting into November to negotiate on continuing resolutions.

market under bill aimed at Chinese automaker ownership replies
Mercedes-Benz could find itself shut out of the U.S. auto market — banned from making or selling new vehicles in the country — under legislation making its way through Congress.
New bipartisan legislation aimed at limiting Chinese involvement in the U.S. auto market may sweep in Mercedes-Benz unless the bill is changed or the German automaker’s largest shareholder sells its stake. The bill, the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026, would prohibit automakers that have “any direct or indirect equity interest by a foreign-adversary government,” such as China, from importing, selling or manufacturing vehicles for sale in the U.S.
Mercedes-Benz’s largest individual shareholder is the state-owned Chinese automaker BAIC,

We’ve seen plenty of “transanity” over the last few years, with transgender extremists demanding we call males "women," mothers “birthing people,” and individuals “they.” My general philosophy has always been, “you be you, and I’ll be me,” and that’s all well and good — but there are two places where that concept is overruled and where I believe we as a society need to draw a red line.
One: When it comes to this advocating that we mutilate minors suffering from gender dysphoria to “become” their chosen “gender identity,” just say no; and two, when it comes to allowing biological males to compete against females, often taking their trophies
Democrats and liberal media seem to be constantly taking issue with anything President Donald Trump does, regardless of the merits of his actions.
But they've now truly jumped the shark with their Trump Derangement Syndrome when they're objecting to Trump cleaning up fountains and monuments around Washington, D.C. Our sister site Townhall reported on some of the interesting reaction.
Here's the account that used to be the Kamala Harris Headquarters account, terming things like spending on the Reflecting Pool, Trump "vanity projects."
The Department of Housing and Urban Development on Friday launched an investigation into Multnomah County, Oregon, over the county's race-based homelessness programs, writing in a letter to county officials that the programs likely violate the Fair Housing Act.
The move comes after the Washington Free Beacon reported that Multnomah County, which includes most of Portland, awards more points for "requesting culturally responsive services" than for being "homeless 12+ months" in its allocation scheme for housing services. Individuals must reach a certain cutoff on the points-based index in order to qualify for supportive housing. The county also sets aside "culturally specific" apartments for the "BIPOC community," part of a broader package
Top Democratic officials and lawmakers are breaking with Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner as his past blunders and online history stack up.
Platner’s ascendency to the top of the ticket in Vacationland broke with the Democratic establishment in Washington, D.C., and since Maine Gov. Janet Mills exited from the race, questions about whether he is the right choice to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, have exploded.
Much of that is fueled by scandals that have cropped up seemingly week after week, be it a tattoo on his chest of a Nazi symbol or inflammatory posts online.
The scene outside Delaney Hall detention center turned chaotic again Friday night with more clashes between anti-ICE protesters and agents – despite New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s attempt to establish a “peaceful” protest zone.
The mob throughout the evening continued their vile chants and ignored orders from police to disperse or face arrests as law enforcement used tear gas and pepper spray to restrain the unruly crowd, according to footage.
“Kill yourself, quit your job, quit your job,” the rabble-rousers chanted at one point.

On Thursday, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced The Great American Cotton Plan, an effort to help revitalize the nation's cotton-producing industry to move Americans back toward wearing natural fibers as opposed to plastic materials and other pontially toxic fibers.
Launched as a cornerstone of the plan to restore domestic textile manufacturing, the “Plant Not Plastic” initiative urges American consumers to choose products made with natural, U.S.-grown cotton over petroleum-based synthetics like polyester.

We reported earlier on some of the action happening at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark on Friday night.
Nick Sortor went undercover into their encampment, and you can get a good view of how extensive the endeavor is, and it raises a lot of questions about who is behind the funding of this specific action, especially when ICE agents are being assaulted and threatened. But things were getting way out of hand with the clashes and the threats against the ICE agents. Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill,
There are days they wake up in a state close to wonderment. Friday was one of those days.
There was Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s real estate buddy and negotiator in chief, offering them a $300 billion international investment fund. The Ayatollah must have been rubbing his eyebrows or what’s left of them, wondering if he was dreaming. The Iranians had been demanding war reparations but never thought they would get them, and certainly not on this scale.
Will somebody please give Witkoff the cane? You have to wonder sometimes what he’s thinking.
And then you have the president, one day reassuring Americans that he won’t make a “crummy” deal,

As RedState has reported, thanks to the purported "leadership" of Democrats at the state and local levels in New Jersey, the anti-ICE brigade who have taken position at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark have gotten out of control.While their complaints center around unfounded claims of allegedly "inhumane conditions" for the illegal alien detainees, the real issue is what has taken place outside, where agitators have deliberately tried to provoke federal immigration agents into physical altercations, and in some cases were seen on video threatening to kill agents and their families.
Yet through it all, Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a proponent of illegal alien "sanctuary" policies,

A clip of Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico offering a bizarre prayer while delivering an invocation on the House floor in 2021 has resurfaced where he referenced Hinduism, Islam, and more while attempting to acknowledge the names of the one true God and His son Jesus, ending his prayer in “all your many names.”
“Let us pray. Holy Mystery, you have so many names,” Talarico said in the prayer before referencing a long list of other religious beliefs and their names for God, seemingly offering a universalist view of the One True God, the great I Am.
During his closing monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that Democrats are “losing to the Waffle House, car on the lawn states” on issues that are supposed to be their causes on education, race, and the environment.
During the monologue, Maher said that politicians tend to only be honest when their careers or lives are ending. He then mentioned Democratic California gubernatorial candidate San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and said that Mahan is willing to talk boldly since he’s doing poorly in the polls, and questioned if Mahan would say Democrats need to take on their friends if he was polling better.
As Los Angeles voters prepare to head to the polls next week, reality TV star and online influencer-turned-mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has gained surprising momentum in the race for mayor. He's racked up endorsements from fellow reality stars as well as famous actors, musicians and media personalities.
Despite a growing list of high-profile supporters, Pratt said in an interview on "Gutfeld!" on Thursday that celebrity endorsements are not a priority for his campaign. "I actually don't want celebrities to come out and endorse me," he said, adding the only endorsements he wants are from "the moms and the animal lovers in L.A."
A federal database built to flag and remove drunk and drugged truckers from U.S. highways used the equivalent of an “honor system” as its last line of defense between a family in a minivan and a substance addict steering an 80,000-pound mass of steel.

Jing S. Dong, a Chinese native who obtained US citizenship, was allegedly driving the motorcoach from New York City to Charlotte, NC, when it struck a Chevrolet Suburban in Stafford County, near Quantico, just after 2:30 a.m.
The crash sparked a chain reaction involving at least 6 vehicles, officials said. Traffic had slowed down for a work zone on the highway at the time of the crash.
A lesbian minister in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is canceling her church’s annual Fourth of July celebrations in an act of political protest apparently against the country’s — as well as her own congregation’s — “whiteness.”
Rev. Erin Splaine announced to her community Thursday that the Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church would be canceling its customary July 4th celebrations, which include a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. "We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Splaine wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current. She was referring to

federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to implement his executive order tightening mail-in voting, slapping down Democrats’ arguments for now that federal efforts to police voter rolls with citizenship checks was illegal.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointed jurist, ruled that Democrats failed to show they have standing at present to challenge the order or have suffered any harm that would warrant a preliminary injunction.
"Given that the Executive Order does not command Plaintiffs to do anything, and that no agency has yet acted pursuant to the Order in a way that could harm Plaintiffs,

President Donald Trump on Friday endorsed South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette over Rep. Nancy Mace in the state's GOP gubernatorial primary.
Trump in a Truth Social Post called Evette an “America First Patriot” who “never wavered” in supporting him, and complimented her choice of a running mate in Gov. Henry McMaster's son, Henry McMaster Jr., saying he was "brilliant" and "competent."
He also pointed out that Evette was the only South Carolina gubernatorial candidate to endorse him as soon as he launched his 2024 presidential campaign.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a prominent Cuban-American who represents New York in the U.S. House, tells Just the News she wants the FBI to investigate Democrats and liberal groups helping Cuba evade U.S. sanctions for the lone crime America’s founding fathers explicitly identified in the Constitution.
“Look, I personally, think they need to be investigated for treason,” Malliotakis said during a wide-ranging interview with the John Solomon Reports podcast. “I think that they really need to be investigated by Treasury, also by Justice.”
Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass’ biggest headache. With a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points, the race remains statistically tight.
One of the more notable findings is Pratt’s strength among Hispanic voters, where he leads the field with 33% support, compared to 24% for Bass and 21% for Raman.
But beneath the numbers lies a much bigger warning sign for City Hall.
Voters appear deeply dissatisfied not only with the direction of Los Angeles but also with nearly every major candidate seeking to lead it.
