The American Airlines passenger disturbance that ended with a man restrained to his seat with duct tape and zip ties, involved world-renowned Messianic rabbi, pastor, speaker and author Jonathan Cahn. American Airlines Flight 618—Dallas-Fort Worth-to-Newark—took off from Texas on September 3 and was diverted to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport after passenger Arthur Lundeen, 67, allegedly became disruptive, spewing profanities and racial slurs and physically assaulting the passenger next to him.

Well, like many fading celebrities, he is considering leaving the United States because Donald Trump sits in the Oval Office. Asked in an interview with the Left-wing Guardian about issues like “global heating” and “those in power,” the former sidekick of the very talented songwriter Paul Simon unsurprisingly replied, “I don’t like America’s position at all” before revealing that he has been considering fleeing the United States. “I’m not aboard, and I’m thinking of leaving the country, frankly,” Garfunkel complained.…

Later this week, the first ever RNC Midterm Convention will be held in Dallas, and as described by the GOP, it’s, “a primetime showcase for President Trump’s success, candidates, and causes.” It has also become a focus of the left-wing media, many of whom have chosen to mock the event, and Sunday on CNN’s Inside Politics, they did just that while comparing the President’s approval ratings to his predecessors without providing perspective. After introducing his panel, Host Manu Raju seemed amused, smiling and looking as if he was holding back a chuckle as he referred to the event: “So, weekend…

Lonnie Bunch, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution who led its leftward degradation, resigned Tuesday after years of overseeing the advancement of anti-American propaganda at the nation’s premier art, culture, and history establishment.

New Business Formation Is Accelerating Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent chided us this morning for not paying enough attention to the acceleration of business formation in the U.S., which he highlighted as one of the effects of the Trump administration’s pro-growth policies. The numbers suggest Secretary Bessent has a point. This does deserve more of our attention. So here we go. Speaking at Breitbart News’s “State of the Economy” event, Bessent pointed to the entrepreneurial surge as evidence that the administration is making America more business-friendly and “reprivatizing” the economy. He also highlighted artificial intelligence’s role in making it easier to…

The U.S. is currently insulated from global natural gas price spikes due to its massive domestic production and the regional nature of gas markets, unlike the globalized oil market. This domestic stability is a direct result of the fracking revolution, which made the U.S. the world’s top natural gas producer and created a large supply surplus. A key factor limiting price increases is that U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals are already at capacity, preventing global demand from rapidly draining the domestic supply cushion. In contrast, nations in Europe and Asia that rely on LNG imports are facing severe…

Study: Food Choices Affect Liver and Blood Sugar Health More Than Weight Loss Alone Study Overview A recent five-month clinical trial indicates that the type of diet followed during weight loss significantly affects liver health and blood sugar control, independent of the number of pounds lost, according to researchers. The study focused on adults with metabolically unhealthy obesity, a condition defined by excess weight accompanied by prediabetes and fatty liver disease.

A medical paradigm shattered: UCLA study discovers bacterial colonies at the heart of common kidney stones A groundbreaking discovery reveals living bacteria and their biofilms embedded within the structure of common calcium oxalate kidney stones, challenging the long-held view that they are purely inert mineral deposits. This upends the traditional chemical model of stone formation, which was based solely on urine concentration and crystallization and suggests bacteria may act as a scaffold for stone growth. The finding is highly significant because calcium oxalate stones account for nearly 80% of cases, meaning a bacterial role is likely widespread, not limited to…

Carbohydrates and Inflammation: A Nuanced View Carbohydrates have been widely blamed for promoting inflammation and chronic disease, but nutrition experts are drawing a distinction between highly processed sources and whole-food ones. According to a recent report, the source and processing of a carbohydrate determine its biological effect on the body. Holistic nutritionist Jaz Robbins stated that the negative reputation of carbohydrates stems from processed forms, noting, “Those are the ones that contribute to inflammation,” while whole-food sources have different effects. [1] Dietitians report that fiber-rich, nutrient-dense whole grains contain plant compounds that may support the immune response and reduce inflammatory…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It’s no secret that Elon Musk is hiding plenty of skeletons in his closet.

Canada came SO close to getting a sane Prime Minister in 2025, but with Justin Trudeau’s resignation and Mark Carney’s installation, the Liberals salvaged their political fortunes and are now driving Canada into the ground.  Advertisement Everybody right now is focusing, rightly, on the trade war between the United States and Canada, and the absolutely bizarre cozying up to Communist China.
