from aircraft carrier
Posted By: Ribicon, 7/11/2022 9:21:33 AM
Navy investigators want to know why a fighter jet on Friday was blown off the deck of an aircraft carrier operating in the Mediterranean. According to the initial reports, the Navy F-18 fighter jet went into the water as a result of “unexpected heavy weather.” The aircraft was aboard the USS Harry S. Truman, normally based in Norfolk. The Truman was conducting a replenishment-at-sea, an operation in which supplies are transferred from one ship to another while underway, when the F-18 was blown overboard. A sailor received “minor injuries” during the unexpected heavy weather, officials said.(Snip)“There is an officer and division whose only job is

Democratic lawmakers making a last-ditch attempt to pass a tax and spending bill are now weighing whether to extend pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies to avoid skyrocketing premiums that will hit just as voters head to the polls in November. Senate Democrats negotiating the broad package are under pressure to include additional funding for the subsidies. Democrats approved the subsidies in March 2021 as part of a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. The subsidies are set to expire on Dec. 31. If the subsidies are not extended, health policy experts say, premiums in the 33 states that use the government health care marketplace will rise by 53%
A longtime Brooklyn gang leader faces federal charges after he was caught on camera firing at a crowd of people—just five months after his release from prison, prosecutors allege. Kwyme Waddell, 30, the leader of murderous “No Love City” offshoot of the Chicago-based Folk Nation gang, is back behind bars, indicted Tuesday on federal felon-with-a-firearm charges. Waddell goes by the nickname “Big Homie,” leading a crew of gangbangers who were accused of going on “hunting expeditions” to track down and murder rival gang members. His time in New York State prison didn’t mellow his taste for violence, or his desire to brag about it later,
Starbucks is shuttering more than a dozen stores due to reports of rife drug use and disturbances by brazen members of the public at the popular cafés. The planned closures, announced Monday, will see 16 stores closed in several cities across the country—all set in left-leaning locales. The reported disruptions include drug use by paying customers and, more often than not, members of the public—who often take advantage of the company's open bathroom policy, which allows nonpaying patrons to use their facilities. As a result, the lavatories have in large part devolved into dens of debauchery, regularly used by vagrants and homeless to do drugs and engage in
Bangkok—A scandal engulfing Vietnam’s foreign ministry and a number of other public and private bodies are testing Hanoi’s reliability as a linchpin of an anticipated U.S.-led Asian economic framework and as a bulwark in the international fight to tame the COVID-19 pandemic. Foreign Ministry, tourism, air, medical and manufacturing officials have been arrested and expelled from the ruling Communist Party in recent weeks. They are accused of pocketing $240 million by defrauding frightened Vietnamese citizens into paying inflated fees for government-arranged COVID-19 repatriation flights and cumbersome permits and of price-fixing emergency health care and equipment.
The scandal and the regime’s crackdown have given a

A Florida school board was forced to cut off a dad's microphone after he read 'pornography' in an attempt to show people an example of books that can be found in schools. Bruce Friedman tried to read an excerpt from Alice Sebold's 1999 memoir 'Lucky,' which documents her rape as a college freshman and how it affected her.

With the blazingly contagious BA.5 coronavirus variant blitzing communities across the nation, the White House on Tuesday pleaded with middle-aged and elderly Americans to get a fresh vaccine if they have not. “For people who are 50 years of age or older, my message is simple,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID coordinator, said at a virtual news briefing. “If you have not gotten a vaccine shot in the year 2022—if you have not gotten one this year—please go get another vaccine shot.” Jha said summer shots will not prevent Americans from getting a strain-specific jab in the fall. “It could save your life,”
Georgia election officials are mailing notifications to over 142,000 voters who appear to have moved to different states or counties, a step toward eventually canceling their registrations. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the notifications will help improve the accuracy of Georgia’s voter registration list, which includes about 7.7 million voters.(Snip)Nearly 63,800 Georgians appear to have registered to vote or obtained a driver’s license in another state, according to data from the Electronic Registration Information Center, an organization of 31 states.

More than 1,000 children were raped and sexually exploited over 30 years in Telford where police and council officials 'ignored' abuse over fears investigating Asian men would 'inflame racial tensions', an inquiry has concluded. It found that children were brainwashed by men using a 'loverboy method' to reel them in, as they operated a 'rape house' in Wellington. A public inquiry was launched by Telford and Wrekin Council after a Sunday Mirror investigation in 2018 concluded that around 1,000 children could have been sexually exploited in the Shropshire town over a 30-year period.(Snip)

The NYPD is hunting a 'serial stabber' who attacked three homeless men sleeping on park benches across the city, leaving one dead, during a seven-day crime spree. The unidentified man's crime-ridden week began on July 5 around 3am on the Hudson River Park walkway in Manhattan's West Village. The attacker, who goes by the name Delly, was seen wearing a sweatshirt from Innocence Project—a nonprofit that helps exonerate the wrongly convicted—when he approached a man, 34, lying on a park bench and 'displayed an unknown sharp object.' He then stabbed the man in the stomach before fleeing on foot and was later seen casually cruising around

The US has inflicted more than $1.9tn in damage to other countries from the effects of its greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new analysis that has provided the first measurement of nations’ liability in stoking the climate crisis. The huge volume of planet-heating gases pumped out by the US, the largest historical emitter, has caused such harm to other, mostly poor, countries through heatwaves, crop failures and other consequences that the US is responsible for $1.91tn in lost global income since 1990, the study found. This puts the US ahead of China, currently the world’s leading emitter, Russian, India and Brazil as the next largest contributors to global
CNN contributor and Republican consultant Scott Jennings predicts that former President Donald Trump will announce an early Presidential bid to prevent Florida Governor Ron DeSantis from running in 2024.
Jennings observed that given DeSantis’ popularity, specifically with conservatives across the country, he is a Trump-like figure without the baggage. Jennings said:
“I definitely think there are a lot of Republicans out there who voted for Donald Trump twice, maybe gave him money, wanted to see him succeed who know we cannot drag the country and the party through this again in 2024, that he’s the least likely Republican to have a chance to win the White House …

The Brittney Griner story has been one which tears at us from two sides. When we hear about an American being detained in a foreign country for offenses which are considered minor here in the U.S., we often become sympathetic, depending on the infraction, of course. And when we learn that the country holding that prisoner is an archrival or enemy such as China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, our sympathies become that much stronger.
In the case of Brittney Griner, however, things aren’t that simple. Griner, who has been detained in a Russian prison since her arrest at a Moscow airport for possession of cannabis oil
Shocking video footage has emerged of a young child repeatedly hitting a Minnesota cop who was there to arrest a murder suspect — calling the officer a “b—h” and telling his colleague to “shut the f–k up!”
The clip released by Alpha News was filmed last week in St. Paul, a city that saw widespread rioting after the nearby police murder of George of Floyd and manslaughter of motorist Daunte Wright.
“Shut up, b—h!” screamed the young child, who appeared to be only a few years old and wearing just underwear while standing in the street, with an even younger child in a diaper just behind him.
Elon Musk said former President Donald Trump should not run for a second term, arguing that he’s too old and “too much drama.”

“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” the world’s richest person tweeted in response to Trump’s comments.

A department chair at the University of Denver's College of Education wrote an article calling on educators to "commit to realizing the death of whiteness." The April 2022 article features a call to academics and critical race theorists to join the author in committing themselves to the "death of whiteness," specifically asking them to take up the "verbal effigy 'dead honky.'"(Snip)The article, authored by D.L. Stewart, proceeds to use the skit to expound upon a model of "white violence," which the author argues consists of "malicious white terror," "rhetorical white innocence," "white contempt and white transmission," and finally "pacifying white concession." Stewart contends that "whiteness is itself a violence"
Berkeley Law Professor Khiara Bridges accused Sen. Josh Hawley of 'opening up trans people to violence' after the Missouri Republican pressed her to say that only women could get pregnant in a heated squabble during a Senate committee hearing Tuesday.
'You've used a phrase I want to make sure I understand what you mean by it. You've referred to 'people with a capacity for pregnancy.' Would that be women?' Hawley asked during a Senate Judiciary Committee on abortion rights.
'Many women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went on national television news and told the watching audience he’s wrapped 10 investigations into late and canceled flights and has “launched another ten or so that we’re going to pursue.” That’s great. Ten plus ten equals 20—now only another, umm, 10,000 or so and surfaces will really start to be scratched. And 10,000 is perhaps low.(Snip)Airlines, by one count, were handed $54 billion or so in tax-paid bailouts so as to keep them operational and staffed in COVID-19 times and by logical extension, thereafter—and Buttigieg’s big idea to address the obvious misuse of these funds is to call for more
Another fatal accident involving an electric vehicle left two Lompoc, California, natives dead last week near Gainesville, Florida.

President Biden insisted Tuesday that Democrats want him to run for reelection, firing back at doubters after a poll showed a majority of primary voters wanted someone else at the top of the ticket in 2024. “They want me to run,” Biden said Tuesday evening when asked by a reporter, towards the end of the White House congressional picnic, for his message to Democrats who don’t want him to run for reelection. “Read the polls.
