At the end of April, air traffic control radar surveillance and radio communication systems at Newark airport went dark for over a minute. A week and half later, radar went down again briefly. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since cut down the number of flights in and out of Newark. But, how does our air traffic control system work? How do air traffic controllers keep track of all of the planes in the sky? And what happens when systems fail? Michael McCormick, a former air traffic control operations manager at the FAA, joins Host Flora Lichtman to dive into the science of air traffic control. Guest: Dr. Michael McCormick is a former vice president of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization,  and an associate professor and program coordinator of Air Traffic Management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.Transcripts for the segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Today we're welcoming Mitch, a commercial pilot who turned 90 acres of Maine forest into something truly unique in the short-term rental world: a fly-in cabin experience complete with its own FAA-registered runway. What started as a practical solution for getting his family from Pennsylvania to their beloved Maine quickly evolved into a destination that's capturing the imagination of pilots and non-pilots alike.From the initial market research in pilot Facebook groups to the "silverware stage" of outfitting a remote A-frame cabin, Mitch shares the realities of building a business around your passion while maintaining a demanding full-time career. We'll explore how his extensive travel experience staying in hotels worldwide informed his approach to hospitality, the unexpected joy he's found in guest feedback about children experiencing their first moose sighting, and why he believes investing in beauty and thoughtful details pays dividends in bookings.Whether you're dreaming of creating your own unique cabin experience or simply curious about what happens when aviation meets hospitality, this conversation offers insights into turning a personal passion project into a thriving business that's bringing families closer to nature—one landing at a time.Website: https://www.beavercreekmaine.comBooking Site: https://www.beavercreekmaine.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafIKuVOqEJUvn-K3WOQDorr3ImTq-JdC5YJ3sDU4WN-kfJB_8X4vDG6VOzQCQ_aem_OaHouid1brwllkSieN8XxAIG Handle: @beavercreekmaineCozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Cabin Boone: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311026Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.comYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FgMwAgvORd1IwlH1nlC9g

The FAA failed to notify pilots that the weather instruments at Montgomery Field weren't working. Then, the city of San Diego is countersuing property owners hit by last year's floods. And, you may soon be able to buy and sell backyard ADUs in San Diego. Also, we have a follow-up to a story about a low-income high-rise without a working elevator. Finally, Pope Leo's first bishop appointment is one right here in San Diego —but that's not the only reason it's historic.

A SpaceX encontrou outro obstáculo em sua busca por "tornar a vida multiplanetária". Durante o nono voo de seu foguete integrado Starship-Super Heavy na terça-feira, o veículo mais uma vez falhou em completar o voo completo conforme o planejado, perdendo a capacidade de controlar sua orientação pouco mais de 20 minutos após o início do voo.A SpaceX interrompeu a exibição de imagens ao vivo do estágio superior por cerca de 10 minutos. Quando as imagens das câmeras foram retomadas, cerca de 30 minutos após o início do voo, a Starship pôde ser vista começando a girar.“A Starship atingiu o corte programado do motor da nave, uma grande melhoria em relação ao último voo! Além disso, não houve perda significativa das placas de proteção térmica durante a subida”, disse o fundador da SpaceX, Elon Musk, em um comunicado pós-lançamento no X. “Vazamentos causaram perda de pressão do tanque principal durante a fase de navegação costeira e reentrada. Muitos dados úteis para revisar.”A missão, batizada de Starship Flight 9, foi a terceira tentativa da SpaceX de voar a versão atualizada do Bloco 2 de seu estágio superior. Nos dois voos anteriores, a nave perdeu o controle de atitude antes do desligamento de seus seis motores Raptor, menos de nove minutos após o início de suas respectivas subidas.Em um comunicado divulgado pela Administração Federal de Aviação, a agência disse estar "ciente de que uma anomalia ocorreu durante a missão SpaceX Starship Flight 9, que foi lançada na terça-feira, 27 de maio, da Starbase, Texas, e está trabalhando ativamente com a SpaceX no evento".“Não há relatos de ferimentos públicos ou danos à propriedade pública neste momento”, disse a FAA.Antes da missão Starship Flight 9, Musk disse que realizaria uma palestra da empresa, intitulada "O Caminho para Tornar a Vida Multiplanetária", que, segundo ele, seria transmitida ao vivo. No entanto, a palestra estava originalmente agendada para antes do lançamento, mas foi adiada para depois e agora parece estar descartada por enquanto.Musk conversou com alguns veículos de notícias antes do lançamento, incluindo a Ars Technica. Nessa conversa , ele disse que havia "80% de chance de resolver esses problemas" relacionados ao estágio superior."Para realmente termos 100% de chance, é necessária a iteração do projeto do motor. E parte disso foi que tivemos que descobrir que precisávamos apertar os parafusos que prendiam a câmara de empuxo à cabeça do injetor após o disparo", disse Musk a Eric Berger, da Ars Technica.Musk disse na entrevista que a SpaceX pretende lançar a terceira versão de seu motor Raptor até o final do ano. Ele acrescentou que "a versão 3 da nave e do propulsor tem um redesenho bastante radical".Embora o estágio superior da Starship Versão 2 usado neste voo, número de cauda S35, tenha superado as falhas observadas com as S33 e S34, ele sofreu vários contratempos, incluindo um problema que impediu a abertura da porta do compartimento de carga. A SpaceX pretendia lançar oito painéis grandes que simulassem o tamanho e a massa dos satélites Starlink Versão 3.A perda do controle de atitude do estágio superior também impediu a SpaceX de realizar o reacendimento planejado de um dos motores Raptor no espaço. Este é um recurso que a SpaceX precisará em missões futuras para permitir que a Starship desorbite com segurança e realize queimas secundárias durante uma missão.As imagens das câmeras de bordo foram irregulares em alguns momentos, mas duraram mais de 45 minutos de voo. Após o término da missão, Jared Isaacman, o indicado para ser o próximo administrador da NASA, aplaudiu o esforço da SpaceX.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Terry Blue, President and CEO of Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority, who discusses the history and ongoing modernization efforts at Memphis International Airport (MEM) as part of "MEM on the Move." During the interview, Terry shares some historical perspective with Memphis International Airport's dedication in 1929 and the original terminal dedication in 1963. He talks about what the Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority does and how it operates three airports, including Memphis International Airport, and maintains the facilities, runways, and grounds. He compares it to managing a shopping mall overseeing the facilities, but not the individual stores, with the different partnerships like the airlines, TSA, FAA, and food vendors each being in control of their own operations.Terry talks about how the airport has experienced year-over-year growth in passenger numbers and is the busiest cargo airport in North America. Terry then highlights the concourse modernization that was completed in 2022, reinventing the Memphis traveling experience, and how that now carries into more updates and modernization projects to further enhance passenger convenience and future-proof the facilities for continued growth. The projects, which are part of the MEM on the Move initiative, includes a parking guidance system, a new parking management system, and improvements to the rental car facilities. It also includes the Airport Terminal Modernization and Seismic Program, which is a 6-year, $700 million project to modernize the 1963 terminal building. The project involves seismic enhancements, life safety features, and architectural updates while maintaining the building's historic elements. The airport will remain operational during the construction. This portion of the project is expected to begin in 2027. Completion is expected in 2030.Visit https://flymemphis.com to learn more about Memphis International Airport or visit https://flymemphis.com/mem-on-the-move/ to learn more about MEM on the Move.

Recent air traffic control issues at Newark Liberty Airport and the recent dismissal of an NTSB board member signal significant aviation safety issues in the US.Since early May, Newark Airport has experienced significant flight disruptions due to radar outages and shortages of air traffic controllers. The current FAA administrator blames the previous administration for these problems. What's the truth?These issues have been ongoing for more than a decade for many reasons. Delayed infrastructure improvementsAging air traffic controller workforceIncreased demand for flight operations at NewarkAdd to this that there aren't enough trained air traffic controllers. A combination of retirements, COVID hiring freezes, and flawed hiring policy changes have limited the number of potential new controllers.John Goglia and Todd Curtis discuss possible air traffic controller mental health issues that may arise from a combination of stress from long hours and high workload. Negative news coverage from both traditional and online media compounds the situation.NTSB board member Alvin Brown was removed without explanation in May. Brown is a former mayor of Jacksonville, Florida. He was a board member since March 2024 and vice chair since December 2024. This is the first time a Board member had been removed in such a fashion. Todd and John speculate that Brown was dismissed because of his close association with the Democratic Party.

Today's Headlines: Former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a two-hour call about ending the war in Ukraine, marked by mutual praise but no concrete progress; despite ongoing Russia-Ukraine talks, Putin showed no interest in a ceasefire or returning seized land, both of which Ukraine considers essential. Meanwhile, Trump signed the bipartisan Take It Down Act, the first federal law targeting non-consensual explicit imagery, including AI deepfakes, requiring removal within 48 hours and allowing for prison time. The FAA avoided disruptions thanks to a recent software update, though it is investigating the cause of a near-outage. The DOJ settled with Ashli Babbitt's family for $5 million over her 2021 Capitol riot shooting, while the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to revoke deportation protections for 350,000 Venezuelans. Finally, the DOJ dropped charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for an ICE protest but filed assault charges against Rep. Monica McIver, which she claims are politically motivated.

//The Wire//2300Z May 19, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: STABBING ATTACK STRIKES GERMANY. WIDESPREAD DAMAGE CAUSED BY SEVERE WEATHER IN AMERICAN MIDWEST. JOE BIDEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: A mass stabbing attack was reported in Bielefeld on Sunday. 5x people were stabbed (with 3x remaining in intensive care) by an assailant, who remains at large. Authorities are treating the incident as an act of terrorism, and have identified the attacker as Mahmoud Mhemed.AC: Though the assailant evaded capture at the time of the incident, in the fray he left his bag behind. Inside authorities found several knives and what has been described as a pre-made incendiary device.-HomeFront-New Jersey: The FAA reported another communications outage in the Newark sector this morning. This comes as the FAA has reduced the frequency of flights in and out of Newark while upgrades and repairs are underway.Delaware: Joe Biden's staff announced that he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer. In the various press statements that have been issued, his staff stated that his illness is among the most aggressive forms of cancer, but that it is responding to hormone treatment.Ohio: 5x people were struck by a train in Fremont over the weekend. Two people were killed and one child remains missing after they were struck by the train while fishing off of the Miles Newton Bridge. One infant was rescued from the water after the incident, and rescue teams are continuing the search for a missing 5-year-old.Midwest: Dozens of fatalities have been reported as a result of severe storms and tornados that transited through the region overnight. So far, 28x fatalities have been reported in Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the central United States, weather conditions continue to present risks of disaster. In short, the Midwest is not out of the woods just yet. This year's storm season is more active than usual, with multiple storm systems continuing to form and roll through communities with little notice. A localized disaster can be handled by local authorities and prepared citizens alike, but a storm system that ravages multiple states across thousands of square miles at nearly the same time is a much more significant series of events. Bottom line, rescue and recovery assets will remain stretched thin for some time as the seasonal weather systems remain above average.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhat aren't they telling us? That's the question at the heart of this week's episode as we dive into President Biden's troubling cancer diagnosis. The news of his aggressive Stage 4 cancer leaves us wondering: how long has the administration known? While extending compassion to anyone facing such a diagnosis, we can't help but question the timing and transparency surrounding this revelation.The conversation shifts to education policy in New York City, where a controversial mandate for smaller class sizes is potentially forcing schools to lower their hiring standards. Is this creating a dangerous situation for students? We examine the reasoning behind this decision and its potential consequences, challenging the notion that lower standards automatically lead to hiring "pervy teachers" as some headlines suggest.Science meets fast food as we explore the viral McDonald's migraine hack that's taking social media by storm. A medical professional breaks down why a large Coke and fries might actually work to relieve headache pain – caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, sodium creates an osmotic shift, and sugar provides analgesic effects. But does it have to be McDonald's specifically? And why do so many people swear by different remedies for hangovers?Perhaps most concerning are reports of UFOs striking military aircraft in Arizona. When an unidentified object damaged the canopy of a $63 million F-16 fighter jet in January 2023, it raised serious questions about national security. With the FAA documenting 757 such reports in a single year, and evidence suggesting drug cartels may be using drone technology to transport narcotics, we're left wondering what's really happening in our skies.What's your take on these stories?

Read the article here: https://jsis.washington.edu/.../06/14/abuses-in-the-air/   Every week, thousands of migrants are shackled at the hands and feet and forced onto deportation flights to destinations across the globe. While the flights are contracted by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), most are run by a shadowy network of private charter companies that operate with no effective oversight. In some cases, migrants are beaten or brutalized aboard the plane. In others, the planes transport them to situations where they are likely to experience harms as grave as torture, assault, or even enslavement. These practices violate U.S. law, international law, and written policies of the Department of Homeland Security, yet although abuses have been documented in human rights reports, described by journalists, discussed by legal scholars,aired in federal court, and reported through internal DHS mechanisms, neither DHS, nor the FAA, nor the U.S. Congress has taken any meaningful steps to stop abuses aboard deportation flights. Indeed, this remains a lucrative and largely secret business, in which contractors have billed U.S. taxpayers for over a million dollars per flight, received Covid-19 bailout funds despite operating in an industry which boomed during the pandemic, and may even receive payment whether they fly or not, under a guaranteed minimum payment scheme similar to that in place at many private detention centers.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

Max tackles a common frustration among pilots: why RNAV (GPS) glide paths sometimes fail to couple with the autopilot. A recent Facebook post from a pilot flying a Cirrus SR22T triggered the discussion, as the poster encountered exactly this problem during an LPV approach, mistakenly attributing it to an expired database. Max explains that the real culprit was a fundamental misunderstanding of RNAV approach procedures. Unlike an ILS glide slope, which is a physical radio beam transmitted from ground equipment, an RNAV glide path is a computed construct generated by the aircraft's GPS navigator. It only becomes “real” for the autopilot to couple to when flown properly, following all step-down altitudes as published. A key indicator is the glide path diamond: it remains hollow and white until the aircraft crosses the fix before the Final Approach Fix (FAF), at which point it turns solid magenta, signaling that the autopilot can engage. Max emphasizes that this behavior contrasts with ILS approaches, where pilots sometimes get away with intercepting the glide slope from above. Doing so on RNAV approaches, however, won't work because the computed glide path isn't extended infinitely; it's activated only within a defined segment of the approach. To verify this, Max conducted simulator flights on multiple RNAV approaches. He discovered a consistent pattern: the glide path diamond always turned magenta while crossing the fix immediately before the FAF—not at a set distance before or after a particular waypoint. This nuance is crucial for ensuring autopilot capture and a stabilized approach. Drawing a parallel to AIM 5-4-5b, Max reinforces that both ILS and RNAV approaches are designed to be intercepted at specific altitudes. Deviating from these procedures risks automation surprises, or worse, capturing false glide slopes in the case of ILS. He recalls the Air India Express Flight 812 crash as a tragic example of why proper interception altitudes matter. The key takeaway is a simple formula for reliably flying RNAV approaches: descend to each step-down fix altitude, and ensure you're at the target altitude when crossing the fix before the FAF. When done correctly, the glide path diamond will turn magenta, allowing the autopilot to capture it and guide the descent. Max's detailed breakdown underscores why relying on social media for technical advice can be misleading. Instead, pilots should seek information from authoritative sources and understand the underlying principles behind automation behavior. By following published procedures and recognizing cues like the hollow versus solid glide path diamond, pilots can avoid surprises and maintain safe, stable approaches.

Today's Headlines: President Trump announced over $200 billion in deals with the UAE, including an AI Acceleration Partnership granting the UAE access to advanced AI chips, and a $1.4 trillion investment pledge over 10 years. He also hinted at a tentative nuclear deal with Iran, describing it as “sort of” agreed upon. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are pushing to block arms sales to Qatar in protest of Trump's new jet gift, which turns out to be an outdated and impractical plane the Qatari royal family couldn't sell. A small Chinese tech company plans to purchase $300 million worth of Trump's meme coin, raising concerns about foreign influence, while Pam Bondi sold millions in Trump Media stock just before a market drop. Walmart's CFO warned of tariff-related price hikes coming soon, and the military is preparing to discharge transgender troops under Trump's executive order. The Supreme Court is reviewing Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, and a brain-dead pregnant woman in Georgia is being kept alive due to the state's abortion ban. Denver International Airport briefly lost air traffic control communication, but disaster was avoided, and Social Security's new anti-fraud measures revealed almost no fraud, despite significantly slowing down claim processing.

Send us a textMay 16's Daily Drop is here, and it's a clinic in chaos. Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for.We're talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can't staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy.Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors, a “Golden Dome,” and stealing 600 Guardsmen — all while Airmen are out here getting ghosted on their bonuses.Oh, and Trump wants to build the “F-55.” Whatever that is.

On this week's episode of AvTalk, Ian and Jason are joined by resident numbers expert Gavin Werbeloff for the facts and figures behind some of the large aircraft we've seen this week. There are more changes coming to Newark as the FAA tries to prevent more air traffic control outages. And we dig in to […] The post AvTalk Episode 320: About that Qatari 747 appeared first on Flightradar24 Blog.

David Waldman returns, only to depart again. But that does not mean he can't sit down and talk awhile! Vendors are filing out of the 2025 Middle East Global Scam Expo today. This year's ScamSpo headliners were an impressive list of world-class scum suckers, though some might assert that they lack the gravitas of past douche nuggets. If you are collecting plutocrat trading cards, now is the time to pick up a Dina Powell. It will take Donald K. Trump the weekend to pack all of his gift bags, but he might not yet be able to show off his big beautiful Emolument 747. Meh, Donald has 3-11 more years to top that swag. Trump can hardly wait to get home and let Don Jr. try out his new bone saw. Tulsi Gabbard canned intelligence officials that she caught acting too intelligently, while She-Wolf of the DOJ, Pam Bondi, shall add humiliation to her toolbox of torture. If they run out of ideas, the 17 Mexican cartel members Trump brought into the US are certain to have some innovative suggestions. Team Trump is getting pretty good at disappearing people. RFK Jr. doesn't remember those hundreds of scientists that were in his department a moment ago. The DHS misplaced who knows how many people. The FAA is pretty certain that fewer than 3000 air traffic controllers are MIA, but definitely more than one. The ICC's chief prosecutor isn't even certain that he's still there anymore. The Gop TLDR bill is having a tough time, because folks keep giving out spoilers to them.  Republicans think they have a way to get around the filibuster… so do the Democrats. SCOTUS obviously can't outright deny birthright citizenship, so obviously they will need to get craftier.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One —   Florida has become the second state in the country to ban local governments from adding fluoride to their public water systems. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill on Thursday. The law is set to go into effect on July 1. Utah also has a ban in place.   Two --- The FAA's hotline between the Department of Defense and Reagan National Airport in D.C. has been out of service for three years.  The agency's deputy chief operating officer confirmed the information during a Senate hearing Wednesday. The official said the FAA takes safety responsibilities very seriously and is insisting the line be fixed before resuming any operations out of the Pentagon.   And number three —  The U.S. Census Bureau says Detroit's population grew for the second year in a row.  The data shows that the city gained almost seven-thousand residents between 2023 and 2024.  Mayor Mike Duggan says for the first time since the 1950s, the mayor of Detroit can say the city is leading the state in population growth.  Detroit ranks the 26th largest city in the country.

Congress clashes over the budget bill that could cut Medicaid and extend Trump-era tax cuts, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy pushes major FAA reforms, and nearly 200 criminal illegal aliens are arrested in an ICE raid in Nashville, sparking a political firestorm.

//The Wire//2300Z May 15, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES CONTINUE IN COMMERCIAL AVIATION. TRUMP'S MIDDLE EAST TRIP CONTINUES. SHOOTING REPORTED AT MILWAUKEE CITY HALL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Various diplomatic efforts continue as before. Ukrainian officials have met with Russian officials in Turkey, with little to no agreement being made so far. President Trump's visit to the Middle East continues, along with various trade agreements.-HomeFront-Texas: Yesterday an arrest was made in conjunction with the high-profile murder of an InfoWars employee in Austin. Authorities state that Eloy Adrian Camarillo shot and killed Jaime White as Camarillo was attempting to break into vehicles outside White's residence.AC: At the time this murder was reported, it was possible that this was a more targeted attack due to White's link to InfoWars. However, now this appears to be more of an instance of routine violent street crime.Wisconsin: This afternoon a shooting was reported at the Zeidler municipal building in Milwaukee, prompting a lockdown of City Hall.AC: As of this report, no details have been released and the lockdown continues. Some sources claim that the shooter may be a disgruntled employee but as this is a developing situation nothing is confirmed yet.Colorado: This morning the FAA issued a statement regarding a communications issue that emerged at Denver International Airport on Monday. Air traffic control personnel in the tower briefly lost radio contact with all aircraft for several minutes, due to an unspecified outage at a transmitter site.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The aviation incident in Denver is concerning due to how serious the crisis could have been. By pure luck alone, a separate radio system was used to contact one aircraft in the air on the Guard (emergency) frequency, who was then able to relay the explanation of the situation to aircraft approaching the airport. Though there are multiple ways for airports to communicate with aircraft, not all aircraft have these communications platforms (for instance, a small Cessna probably doesn't have an ACARS system, for basic text messaging between aircraft). The fact that somebody had to get ahold of a random aircraft on Guard is very telling. Most of the local news reports on the issue have cited closed-source "insider information" which obviously can't be independently confirmed. However, based on this speculative information, it sounds like multiple radio outages had already occurred, and that the fifth and final method of communicating with aircraft via radio finally died. This is concerning for a multitude of reasons, but especially because the aircraft already inbound to the airport had no idea what happened. It is only via this truly last-ditch emergency radio system that airborne aircraft were able to figure out what had happened. It's one thing when an aircraft itself suffers a radio outage or some other communications issue...but it's vastly more concerning when a whole airport goes dark, and can't communicate with aircraft that are already lining up to land.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the indictment of a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal immigrant escape Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), President Trump's plan to lift sanctions on Syria, and George Clooney's story of President Biden's cognitive decline.First, after a quick note on the latest air traffic control concerns at Newark Airport, Jim and Greg welcome news of a grand jury indictment against Judge Hannah Dugan. She's accused of helping a criminal illegal immigrant avoid arrest by ICE. New reports suggest the judge went even further to shield the defendant from federal authorities. But with the case unfolding in deep blue Milwaukee, they wonder if the prosecution can actually win a conviction.Next, they analyze President Trump's announcement from the Middle East that he intends to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria and its new leadership. Is it a shrewd, strategic attempt to peel Syria away from Iran and Russia, or a premature reward for a leader with a long history in radical Islamist terrorism? Jim explains why he thinks Trump is making the right decision.Finally, they react to George Clooney's claim that President Biden failed to recognize him at a major fundraiser Clooney hosted in June 2024. While some on the right suggest Clooney was only alarmed because Biden's lack of recognition bruised his ego, Jim points to this as another example that Biden was not up to the job but Democrats and the media tried to cover for him until they couldn't any longer.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the bipartisan failures that have left America weakened through failed trade agreements and an infrastructure in shambles despite trillions spent. From FAA radar blackouts and floppy disk-era technology to lopsided trade deals and slush funds, it's clear the political class is more interested in serving special interests than fixing what's broken. As politicians transferred billions of dollars overseas to build 21st-century airports, roads, and walls to protect foreign nations, our own skies remain unsafe and they have allowed our border to remain wide open. This episode breaks it all down with sharp analysis, real numbers, and unapologetic truth. Episode Highlights: Trump – Starmer trade agreement signals a shift toward rebalancing decades of failed global economic policies. The shocking state of FAA infrastructure: radar outages, copper wires, and eBay-sourced parts. Remember, former President Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill? Where the money really went, and why most of it had nothing to do with infrastructure.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by one of my favorite recurring guests, Harry Litman, former U.S. Attorney, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, law professor, and host of Talking Feds. From bypassing Congress to impose sweeping tariffs to openly defying Supreme Court rulings on immigration, Harry explains how Trump continues to push the boundaries of executive authority.

As the planes in the sky leave white streaks that go for miles, how can anyone not wonder if what they're seeing is eventually going to land on them and expose them to something that is far from healthy? The truth is, very few people understand the Geoengineering weather modification and Chemtrail campaigns occurring above them. Very few people truly know about what is being performed above them, and if more knew, it wouldn't mean everyone would truly care. It's hard to think about an evil, dark group of individuals that decided to release poisons into the sky that rain down on everyone, day in and day out. It is unimaginable and therefore not easily accepted that it could even be happening, that planes over our heads could be releasing a cocktail of poison at any given time or day all around the world. But it is—it is happening. Learn about the tactics, the strategies and so much more in Episode 3 of the Geoengineering Chemtrail Series. In this episode… Learn about how pollution combined with the spraying of toxic chemicals takes things to an unnecessary level. Discover what there is to know about Geoengineering and Chemtrails and what is kept shrouded in secrecy. Uncover if air traffic controllers have affiliation with Chemtrails, and what information public officials know about all of this. Learn about the hundreds of secret airports that exist around the world and if the FAA is aware of them. Discover the different campaigns going on with these planes and their dumping patterns. Uncover the many different brews and backstores of toxic chemicals being released. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode.
