Airport Trespasser
… takeoff procedures immediately.Late last night, a trespasser breached airport security at Denver Int’l Airport, deliberately scaled a perimeter fence, and ran out onto a runway.

The trespasser on the runway was then struck by Frontier Airlines Flight 4345 during takeoff at high speed. The pilot stopped… https://t.co/x2oVY1b0AH
The Frontier plane was then quickly evacuated while law enforcement and firefighters responded.
Preliminary reports are 12 people were hurt, with 5 taken to the hospital.
Local law enforcement handles airport security and is investigating with support from the @FAANews and TSA.
No one should EVER trespass on an airport.

This is a good reminder that fake news is not confined to politics or Trump. They will euphemize literally anything. A man storms an airport runway and becomes a “pedestrian.”

Hakeem Jeffries, 8 May 2026
… and tried to turn a 6-5 seat advantage into 10-1. Obama backed it. Jeffries campaigned for it multiple times. House Majority PAC spent $38 million on it. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled the process violated the state constitution.Let me get this straight. Virginia voters created an independent redistricting commission in 2020 specifically to end partisan gerrymandering. Democrats then bypassed their own commission, rushed a constitutional amendment through while over a million people had already voted,… https://t.co/nC5RxcnBce

Now Jeffries calls it "unprecedented and undemocratic" when a court enforces the constitution against his party. He calls it "voter suppression" when Democrats are stopped from suppressing five Republican districts into one. And he invokes Jim Crow to describe a ruling that upheld the very redistricting reform Virginia voters chose in 2020.
You did not lose your voice. You lost your gerrymander. There is a difference. And the fact that you cannot tell the difference is exactly why you should not be drawing maps.
Obama / Carney, 9 May 2026
… remains the primary architect of a shadow government that views American sovereignty as an obstacle to be managed or dismantled. His arrival in Toronto on May 8, represents a direct assault on the current administration’s mandate. While the media paints this as a routine speaking engagement, the strategic reality is far more sinister. Obama is utilizing his status to provide a back-channel for foreign leaders to circumvent the elected will of the American people. This is the behavior of a man who believes his ideological vision grants him immunity from the laws that govern ordinary citizens. We are watching a calculated effort to preserve the neoliberal order by any means necessary, including the betrayal of national interests for the sake of a "more just" globalist hegemony.On the upside.... Do you realize how many people now SEE CLEARLY the events and what they represent?
