Qatar calls reports of upcoming jet gift
to Trump ‘inaccurate’

Original Article

Qatar on Sunday denied reports that the Trump administration is preparing to accept a luxury jet from the country’s royal family. ABC News reported earlier Sunday that a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet would become available for President Donald Trump as Air Force One and then donated to his presidential library foundation so he could use it after leaving office. But Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar’s Media Attaché to the U.S., told POLITICO the reports are “inaccurate.” “The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration between Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense, but the matter remains under review

May I point out that Qatar is not exactly our friend, especially since they have allowed leaders of Hamas to live quite luxuriously in their country knowing full well what murderers they are. Secondly, no American political leader is going to accept a personal plane to use. Can you imagine the security issues, not to mention it’s against the law. This is tin foil foie gras for Schumer and Schiff.

This will NEVER happen. Trust me, as someone who witnessed this in real life, it is not unlikely that said aircraft, aka "Trojan Horse," is loaded with extremely sophisticated, difficult to locate, electronic listening devices, aka "bugs." Most likely they are inside the cabinet panels and buried in places impossible to get to without ripping out interior and replacing some of it. Not worth it, not for a minute. Plus, the USAF is not going to think well of sending the President's flight crew to school to learn how to fly that series of B747. There's no way. This is just Trump trolling Boeing. About 15 years ago China ordered a B767 for their "Dear Leader," and when it arrived in China it was found to be riddled with "bugs" throughout the cabin. It must be emphasized that this was NOT done by Boeing. It was done while in the USA, during the "Completion Phase" of aircraft delivery. This is when all the highly custom interior is installed. I won't go into details, but this was a VERY sophisticated operation, but NOT performed by the U.S. government. If it had been, they'd not have been discovered.

"Royal family" by virtue of the oil found under their sand, just like Kuwait and all of the others in the ME. It wasn't that long ago that they were all living in tents and herding goats. I wouldn't trust that fictional plane to ever enter US airspace.

A civilian West Point professor made a public spectacle of his exit from the US Military Academy and, in the process, inadvertently proved the wisdom of the policies he was griping about.

Planned Parenthood’s newest annual report shows the pro-abortion organization facilitated a record number of abortions, over 402,000, and received more taxpayer funding than ever before. Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 report says it provided 402,200 abortions during that time period, while receiving $800 million of taxpayer funding, or over $2 million daily. “For yet another year, pregnant women seeking help at Planned Parenthood are sold an abortion 97% of the time, while prenatal services, miscarriage care and adoption referrals make up a minuscule minority of the options they offer. Meanwhile their priorities include their assault on parental rights, transgender treatments, and political spending to defeat Republicans,”

Hamas on Monday released Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage in Gaza, marking a major milestone in the long-running negotiations between Israel, the terror group, and the United States that began when terrorists invaded Israel and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. Alexander, who holds duel Israeli-American citizenship, was handed over to representatives from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Israeli military said. The Red Cross will deliver Alexander to a special Israeli military unit and he will then be taken to a reception facility in Reim for medical and psychological examinations before being reunited with his family and airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

President Donald Trump announced he plans to sign an executive order on Monday that will reduce the cost of prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals "almost immediately, by 30% to 80%." Trump made the announcement on Truth Social Sunday.

President Donald Trump announced early Saturday morning that talks facilitated by the United States have led to a "full and immediate ceasefire" between India and Pakistan. The news comes just days after India launched missile strikes on Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Pakistani military bases, a move escalating tensions after a deadly militant attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which India blames on Pakistan. Pakistan retaliated with drone and missile attacks on Indian military targets, marking the most intense conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors in decades. Both nations accused each other of initiating the attacks, prompting international calls for de-escalation amid fears of a broader war.

Harvard earned a lot of praise last month for standing up to the Trump administration. For example: The Trump administration responded by pulling federal funding, just as it had done previously at Columbia University. Harvard took things up another notch and sued the administration. But even as all this was happening there were reports that, behind the scenes, both Harvard and the administration were looking to make a deal. And by the end of last month, there were signs that Harvard was softening its stance a bit. Harvard will no longer host or fund affinity group celebrations during Commencement

Famed Democrat strategist James Carville unleashed a blistering attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) after her controversial comments about white men resurfaced on social media. The outspoken former Clinton advisor didn't mince words at Wednesday's Truth Tellers Summit, where he systematically demolished Omar's inflammatory rhetoric. Omar's comments, which initially came from a 2018 Al Jazeera interview during her congressional campaign, exposed the radical left's disturbing obsession with race-based attacks. In the interview, she outrageously claimed that Americans "should be more fearful of white men" than radical Islamic terrorists because they are "actually causing most of the deaths within this country."

The Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September of last year, but new data released this week suggest none of those jobs ever existed. Despite constantly gaslighting by the mainstream media, Americans knew the economy was in poor shape and these latest numbers prove it. Month after month, the government bean-counters under former-president Biden published overly optimistic estimates for everything from job growth to the size of the economy, only to have those numbers routinely—and quietly—revised down later. Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces estimates for the number of nonfarm payrolls in the country,

Jasmine Crockett, the Texas congresswoman who reliably and routinely beclowns herself every single time she opens her mouth, is now going after her own party because as she asserts, they’re considering running the “safest white boy” in 2028 as their next presidential candidate. What would she prefer? The opposite? A problematic black woman? News flash Crockett, y’all just did that, and it was the biggest beating you Democrats have had at the ballot box in more than forty years—since Ronald Reagan, and that was lifetimes ago! She doesn’t like “safe” and “white,” so is “dangerous” and “black” better? Sounds like her ideal candidate would be George Floyd, or O.J. Simpson.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell on Friday reportedly signed an executive order to establish protocols for various Metro Nashville departments to provide the mayor’s office with any information deemed “immigration communications,” which might reflect forthcoming federal immigration enforcement in the city. O’Connell appears to have actually amended his Executive Order 30, which is titled Communications Between Federal Immigration Authorities and the Metropolitan Government. The order mandates any communication to Nashville police, fire, emergency management, or emergency communications personnel by federal immigration law enforcement, or their federal agencies, be reported to the Mayor’s Office of New Americans.

Just yesterday, I wrote about Britain’s decline as its embrace of unlimited immigration from Third World (mostly Muslim) countries and its commitment to the insane Net Zero carbon dioxide metric are leading it toward a Muslim-controlled polity and a pre-modern energy infrastructure. Today, I awoke to two more reports about Britain’s decline, this time related to speech and self-defense. These reports matter because the leftist British approach to governance is what the Democrat party desperately wants to see in America. The first story comes from The Telegraph, Britain’s (slightly) right-of-center outlet, and its title says it all:

Remember Episcopal Bishop Marian Edgar Budde? On January 21, as presiding bishop for the National Cathedral's "Service of Prayer for the Nation," Budde decided to use a supposedly ecumenical and unifying prayer event to browbeat President Donald Trump and make her case for illegal immigrants and the LGBTQ-all-the-letters tribe. (Snip) We have not heard from Bishop Budde of late, but her denomination has let it be known that their vestments are in a wad. Why, you might ask? Because Trump has declared that white South African farmers, who are being murdered, persecuted, and having their lands confiscated, can now be resettled into the United States as refugees.

You'd become the head of state of an unbroken succession of popes as well as the leader of the world's largest religion, one watched and followed closely by others, every word you said dissected closely. Your blessings would be sought, you'd deliver the global pieties, you'd avoid grubby politics, focusing on the tenets of your faith.

The court came across the material when preparing for the creation of a museum with its historical documents, the judicial authority said. The official requested anonymity due to internal policies. Among the documents, they found postcards, photographs, and propaganda material from the German regime.
