"Spirit 1300 turn 20 degrees right," an air traffic controller radioed according to recordings from liveatc.net. "Pay attention, Spirit 1300 turn 20 degrees right.

The Spirit Airlines co-pilot was sending a demand to AF1 to pay $78 for Melania's overweight carry-on bag.

Same airline whose "all-female" crew managed a routine landing in Toronto to an upside-down disaster. Since we already Spirit is all-in on DEI, fair question is whether the pilot and co-pilot could speak the English language.

#4, I guess the all-female crew on the previously mentioned flight wanted to land in the missionary position. On this one, maybe they were having a hen party and weren't listening to the radio. DEI Delenda Est!

A pilot that disregards ATC instructions is asking to be grounded, and should be before they kill someone.

I hope the Spirit crew realize that the next step in the process was to be shot down by the F-16s that would be escorting AF-1.

Liberal women are kinda nuts. Have you noticed? Well, a new study out of Quebec, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, might shed some light on the reason why. The researchers found that women who have abortions are more than twice as likely to end up hospitalized for psychiatric problems compared to women who carry their pregnancies to term. This isn’t some fringe finding; it’s based on a massive study tracking over 1.2 million pregnancies for up to 17 years. The numbers don’t lie: for every 10,000 person-years, 104 women who aborted ended up hospitalized for serious mental health issues like psychiatric disorders, substance abuse,

This comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increasingly been targeted by anti-ICE activists who have escalated their efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement and

An immigration judge in Louisiana has ordered pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident of the U.S., deported to Syria or Algeria for failing to disclose certain information on his green card application, according to documents filed in federal court Wednesday by his lawyers. Khalil’s lawyers suggested in a filing that they intend to appeal the deportation order, but expressed concern that the appeal process will likely be swift and unfavorable. The order from the immigration judge, Jamee Comans, came despite a separate order in Khalil’s federal case in New Jersey blocking his deportation while that court considers Khalil’s legal argument
