Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves as a significant hub for narcotics traffickers due to its high volume of passenger and cargo traffic, providing various opportunities for smuggling drugs. Key aspects of how LAX is exploited by drug traffickers include:Passenger Smuggling: Traffickers use drug mules who carry narcotics in their luggage, on their bodies, or internally. The large number of daily passengers makes it challenging for authorities to screen everyone thoroughly.Cargo Shipments: LAX handles extensive cargo operations, making it a target for traffickers who hide drugs in legitimate shipments. This can include concealing narcotics in commercial goods or within specialized containers designed to evade detection.Corrupt Employees: Traffickers sometimes bribe or coerce airport employees, including baggage handlers and security personnel, to facilitate the movement of drugs through secure areas.Parcel Services: The use of postal and courier services operating out of LAX allows traffickers to send drugs disguised as regular packages, taking advantage of the high volume of daily shipments.International Connections: As a major international gateway, LAX offers direct flights to and from numerous countries, enabling traffickers to move drugs across borders quickly. This includes both importing drugs from source countries and exporting them to other destinations.Concealment Techniques: Traffickers employ advanced concealment methods to avoid detection, such as hiding drugs in electronic devices, clothing, food items, or machinery parts.(commercial at 8:50)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Drug smuggling at LAX: How Los Angeles became the cartels' global distribution center and why it's part of an even bigger problem - ABC7 Los Angeles

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves as a significant hub for narcotics traffickers due to its high volume of passenger and cargo traffic, providing various opportunities for smuggling drugs. Key aspects of how LAX is exploited by drug traffickers include:Passenger Smuggling: Traffickers use drug mules who carry narcotics in their luggage, on their bodies, or internally. The large number of daily passengers makes it challenging for authorities to screen everyone thoroughly.Cargo Shipments: LAX handles extensive cargo operations, making it a target for traffickers who hide drugs in legitimate shipments. This can include concealing narcotics in commercial goods or within specialized containers designed to evade detection.Corrupt Employees: Traffickers sometimes bribe or coerce airport employees, including baggage handlers and security personnel, to facilitate the movement of drugs through secure areas.Parcel Services: The use of postal and courier services operating out of LAX allows traffickers to send drugs disguised as regular packages, taking advantage of the high volume of daily shipments.International Connections: As a major international gateway, LAX offers direct flights to and from numerous countries, enabling traffickers to move drugs across borders quickly. This includes both importing drugs from source countries and exporting them to other destinations.Concealment Techniques: Traffickers employ advanced concealment methods to avoid detection, such as hiding drugs in electronic devices, clothing, food items, or machinery parts.(commercial at 8:50)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Drug smuggling at LAX: How Los Angeles became the cartels' global distribution center and why it's part of an even bigger problem - ABC7 Los Angeles

Welcome to a beautiful Monday in Retail Auto as we weigh the merit of Tesla being labeled as a ‘Luxury brand'. We also discuss Trump's proposed 100% tariff on China-made EVs as well as one Delta Pilot's epic retirement flight. Gone are the days of Tesla being synonymous with luxury according to our friend and  Executive Editor of Automotive News, Jamie Butters as his recent column makes a compelling case for why Tesla's recent strategy and market performance have propelled the electric vehicle giant out of the luxury realm and into a broader, more inclusive arena.Tesla is no longer classified as a luxury brand but has transitioned towards a broader market presence.Initially positioned as a luxury marquee due to high prices and innovative technology, Tesla has adjusted its strategy towards affordability and mass-market appeal.With price cuts and an increase in sales volume, Tesla now competes more directly with mainstream automotive brands rather than luxury ones.The introduction of the more affordable Model 2 signifies Tesla's commitment to accessibility, moving away from the exclusivity typically associated with luxury brands.Despite continuing to sell high-end models, Tesla's overall strategy and market positioning align more closely with mainstream automotive brands.In a rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday, former President Donald Trump proposed imposing a 100% tariff on cars produced in Mexico by Chinese companies, doubling previous tariff threats on vehicles manufactured south of the U.S. border.Trump directly addressed Chinese President Xi Jinping, emphasizing the tariff as a countermeasure against China's manufacturing strategy in Mexico without hiring Americans.The proposed tariffs represent a significant escalation from earlier threats, which included a 50% tariff on Chinese cars and potential tariffs on all Chinese goods and global products.“Those big monster car manufacturing plants you are building in Mexico right now and you think you are going to get that — not hire Americans and you're going to sell the car to us, no,” Trump said. “We are going to put a 100 percent tariff on every car that comes across the lot.”Joe Biden's campaign responded to Trump's remarks, criticizing his approach and labeling the threats as political violence and extremism.Meet Delta Captain Keith Rosenkranz, the pilot who orchestrated a unique retirement celebration by chartering a Delta Airbus A330 for a special flight to Hawaii with 112 friends and family.Rosenkranz's dream was inspired by his youth spent watching planes at Los Angeles International Airport, leading to a 33-year career with Delta.To honor pilots affected by the pandemic, he extended invites to those who missed their final flights, making his retirement event a collective celebration.The journey was not just a flight but a series of memorable events, including a water cannon salute in Los Angeles and vow renewal in Hawaii.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Ashley Ellerin bid farewell to her father at Los Angeles International Airport in February 2001. That evening, the eye-catching 22-year-old fashion student had plans with handsome young Hollywood actor, Ashton Kutcher. The pair were headed to a Grammy Awards after-party at a popular nightclub on the Sunset Strip in LA. Kutcher, then 23, pulled up to Ashley's bungalow behind Grauman's Chinese Theater around 10:45 PM on February 21, 2001 nearly three hours behind schedule. He knocked on Ashley's front door. When she didn't appear, Ashton knocked again. A call to Ashley's phone went to voicemail. He tried the door handle, but found it locked. Guessing she might be punishing him for being so late, the former Calvin Klein model peered through the window. The lights were on but there was no sign of Ashley, only what he believed to be the remnants of a spilt glass of red wine from a party she'd hosted the night before. Only later would Ashton learn the red streak wasn't wine …it was Ashley Ellerin's blood. Confused and disappointed, Kutcher retreated to his car and headed out under the glow of the Hollywood sign. Not long before Ashton arrived to pick up his date, a serial killer, later dubbed the Hollywood Ripper, had also arrived at Ashley's home. Little did Ashton know, he'd been cast in a role he never expected nor wanted …an eyewitness to murder.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

On this episode, we do our first deep dive into the John Landis filmography, to talk about one of his lesser celebrated film, the 1985 Jeff Goldblum/Michelle Pfeiffer morbid comedy Into the Night. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   Long time listeners to this show know that I am not the biggest fan of John Landis, the person. I've spoken about Landis, and especially about his irresponsibility and seeming callousness when it comes to the helicopter accident on the set of his segment for the 1983 film The Twilight Zone which took the lives of actors Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, enough where I don't wish to rehash it once again.   But when one does a podcast that celebrates the movies of the 1980s, every once in a while, one is going to have to talk about John Landis and his movies. He did direct eight movies, one documentary and a segment in an anthology film during the decade, and several of them, both before and after the 1982 helicopter accident, are actually pretty good films.   For this episode, we're going to talk about one of his lesser known and celebrated films from the decade, despite its stacked cast.   We're talking about 1985's Into the Night.   But, as always, before we get to Into the Night, some backstory.   John David Landis was born in Chicago in 1950, but his family moved to Los Angeles when he was four months old. While he grew up in the City of Angels, he still considers himself a Chicagoan, which is an important factoid to point out a little later in his life.   After graduating from high school in 1968, Landis got his first job in the film industry the way many a young man and woman did in those days: through the mail room at a major studio, his being Twentieth Century-Fox. He wasn't all that fond of the mail room. Even since he had seen The  7th Voyage of Sinbad at the age of eight, he knew he wanted to be a filmmaker, and you're not going to become a filmmaker in the mail room. By chance, he would get a job as a production assistant on the Clint Eastwood/Telly Savalas World War II comedy/drama Kelly's Heroes, despite the fact that the film would be shooting in Yugoslavia. During the shoot, he would become friendly with the film's co-stars Don Rickles and Donald Sutherland. When the assistant director on the film got sick and had to go back to the United States, Landis positioned himself to be the logical, and readily available, replacement. Once Kelly's Heroes finished shooting, Landis would spend his time working on other films that were shooting in Italy and the United Kingdom. It is said he was a stuntman on Sergio Leone's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but I'm going to call shenanigans on that one, as the film was made in 1966, when Landis was only sixteen years old and not yet working in the film industry. I'm also going to call shenanigans on his working as a stunt performer on Leone's 1968 film Once Upon a Time in the West, and Tony Richardson's 1968 film The Charge of the Light Brigade, and Peter Collinson's 1969 film The Italian Job, which also were all filmed and released into theatres before Landis made his way to Europe the first time around.   In 1971, Landis would write and direct his first film, a low-budget horror comedy called Schlock, which would star Landis as the title character, in an ape suit designed by master makeup creator Rick Baker. The $60k film was Landis's homage to the monster movies he grew up watching, and his crew would spend 12 days in production, stealing shots wherever they could  because they could not afford filming permits. For more than a year, Landis would show the completed film to any distributor that would give him the time of day, but no one was interested in a very quirky comedy featuring a guy in a gorilla suit playing it very very straight.   Somehow, Johnny Carson was able to screen a print of the film sometime in the fall of 1972, and the powerful talk show host loved it. On November 2nd, 1972, Carson would have Landis on The Tonight Show to talk about his movie. Landis was only 22 at the time, and the exposure on Carson would drive great interest in the film from a number of smaller independent distributors would wouldn't take his calls even a week earlier. Jack H. Harris Enterprises would be the victor, and they would first release Schlock on twenty screens in Los Angeles on December 12th, 1973, the top of a double bill alongside the truly schlocky Son of The Blob. The film would get a very good reception from the local press, including positive reviews from the notoriously prickly Los Angeles Times critic Kevin Thomas, and an unnamed critic in the pages of the industry trade publication Daily Variety. The film would move from market to market every few weeks, and the film would make a tidy little profit for everyone involved. But it would be four more years until Landis would make his follow-up film.   The Kentucky Fried Movie originated not with Landis but with three guys from Madison, Wisconsin who started their own theatre troop while attending the University of Wisconsin before moving it to West Los Angeles in 1971. Those guys, brothers David and Jerry Zucker, and their high school friend Jim Abrahams, had written a number of sketches for their stage shows over a four year period, and felt a number of them could translate well to film, as long as they could come up with a way to link them all together. Although they would be aware of Ken Shapiro's 1974 comedy anthology movie The Groove Tube, a series of sketches shot on videotape shown in movie theatres on the East Coast at midnight on Saturday nights, it would finally hit them in 1976, when Neal Israel's anthology sketch comedy movie TunnelVision became a small hit in theatres. That movie featured Chevy Chase and Laraine Newman, two of the stars of NBC's hit show Saturday Night Live, which was the real reason the film was a hit, but that didn't matter to Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker.   The Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker team decided they needed to not just tell potential backers about the film but show them what they would be getting. They would raise $35,000 to film a ten minute segment, but none of them had ever directed anything for film before, so they would start looking for an experienced director who would be willing to work on a movie like theirs for little to no money.   Through mutual friend Bob Weiss, the trio would meet and get to know John Landis, who would come aboard to direct the presentation reel, if not the entire film should it get funded. That segment, if you've seen Kentucky Fried Movie, included the fake trailer for Cleopatra Schwartz, a parody of blaxploitation movies. The guys would screen the presentation reel first to Kim Jorgensen, the owner of the famed arthouse theatre the Nuart here in Los Angeles, and Jorgensen loved it. He would put up part of the $650k budget himself, and he would show the reel to his friends who also ran theatres, not just in Los Angeles, whenever they were in town, and it would be through a consortium of independent movie theatre owners that Kentucky Fried Movie would get financed.   The movie would be released on August 10th, 1977, ironically the same day as another independent sketch comedy movie, Can I Do It Till I Need Glasses?, was released. But Kentucky Fried Movie would have the powerful United Artists Theatres behind them, as they would make the movie the very first release through their own distribution company, United Film Distribution. I did a three part series on UFDC back in 2021, if you'd like to learn more about them. Featuring such name actors as Bill Bixby, Henry Gibson, George Lazenby and Donald Sutherland, Kentucky Fried Movie would earn more than $7m in theatres, and would not only give John Landis the hit he needed to move up the ranks, but it would give Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker the opportunity to make their own movie. But we'll talk about Airplane! sometime in the future.   Shortly after the release of Kentuck Fried Movie, Landis would get hired to direct Animal House, which would become the surprise success of 1978 and lead Landis into directing The Blues Brothers, which is probably the most John Landis movie that will ever be made. Big, loud, schizophrenic, a little too long for its own good, and filled with a load of in-jokes and cameos that are built only for film fanatics and/or John Landis fanatics. The success of The Blues Brothers would give Landis the chance to make his dream project, a horror comedy he had written more than a decade before.   An American Werewolf in London was the right mix of comedy and horror, in-jokes and great needle drops, with some of the best practical makeup effects ever created for a movie. Makeup effects so good that, in fact, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences would make the occasionally given Best Makeup Effects Oscar a permanent category, and Werewolf would win that category's first competitive Oscar.   In 1982, Landis would direct Coming Soon, one of the first direct-to-home video movies ever released. Narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis, Coming Soon was, essentially, edited clips from 34 old horror and thriller trailers for movies owned by Universal, from Frankenstein and Dracula to Psycho and The Birds. It's only 55 minutes long, but the video did help younger burgeoning cineasts learn more about the history of Universal's monster movies.   And then, as previously mentioned, there was the accident during the filming of The Twilight Zone.   Landis was able to recover enough emotionally from the tragedy to direct Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd in the winter of 1982/83, another hit that maybe showed Hollywood the public wasn't as concerned about the Twilight Zone accident as they worried it would. The Twilight Zone movie would be released three weeks after Trading Places, and while it was not that big a hit, it wasn't quite the bomb it was expected to be because of the accident.   Which brings us to Into the Night.   While Landis was working on the final edit of Trading Places, the President of Universal Pictures, Sean Daniels, contacted Landis about what his next project might be. Universal was where Landis had made Animal House, The Blues Brothers and American Werewolf, so it would not be unusual for a studio head to check up on a filmmaker who had made three recent successful films for them. Specifically, Daniels wanted to pitch Landis on a screenplay the studio had in development called Into the Night. Ron Koslow, the writer of the 1976 Sam Elliott drama Lifeguard, had written the script on spec which the studio had picked up, about an average, ordinary guy who, upon discovering his wife is having an affair, who finds himself in the middle of an international incident involving jewel smuggling out of Iran. Maybe this might be something he would be interested in working on, as it would be both right up his alley, a comedy, and something he'd never done before, a romantic action thriller.   Landis would agree to make the film, if he were allowed some leeway in casting.   For the role of Ed Okin, an aerospace engineer whose insomnia leads him to the Los Angeles International Airport in search of some rest, Landis wanted Jeff Goldblum, who had made more than 15 films over the past decade, including Annie Hall, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Big Chill and The Right Stuff, but had never been the lead in a movie to this point. For Diana, the jewel smuggler who enlists the unwitting Ed into her strange world, Landis wanted Michelle Pfeiffer, the gorgeous star of Grease 2 and Scarface. But mostly, Landis wanted to fill as many of supporting roles with either actors he had worked with before, like Dan Aykroyd and Bruce McGill, or filmmakers who were either contemporaries of Landis and/or were filmmakers he had admired. Amongst those he would get would be Jack Arnold, Paul Bartel, David Cronenberg, Jonathan Demme, Richard Franklin, Amy Heckerling, Colin Higgins, Jim Henson, Lawrence Kasdan, Jonathan Lynn, Paul Mazursky, Don Siegel, and Roger Vadim, as well as Jaws screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, Midnight Cowboy writer Waldo Salt, personal trainer to the stars Jake Steinfeld, music legends David Bowie and Carl Perkins, and several recent Playboy Playmates. Landis himself would be featured as one of the four Iranian agents chasing Pfeiffer's character.   While neither Perkins nor Bowie would appear on the soundtrack to the film, Landis was able to get blues legend B.B. King to perform three songs, two brand new songs as well as a cover of the Wilson Pickett classic In the Midnight Hour.   Originally scheduled to be produced by Joel Douglas, brother of Michael and son of Kirk, Into the Night would go into production on April 2nd, 1984, under the leadership of first-time producer Ron Koslow and Landis's producing partner George Folsey, Jr.   The movie would make great use of dozens of iconic Los Angeles locations, including the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the Shubert Theatre in Century City, the Ships Coffee Shot on La Cienega, the flagship Tiffanys and Company in Beverly Hills, Randy's Donuts, and the aforementioned airport. But on Monday, April 23rd, the start of the fourth week of shooting, the director was ordered to stand trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter due to the accident on the Twilight Zone set. But the trial would not start until months after Into the Night was scheduled to complete its shoot. In an article about the indictment printed in the Los Angeles Times two days later, Universal Studios head Sean Daniels was insistent the studio had made no special plans in the event of Landis' possible conviction. Had he been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, Landis was looking at up to six years in prison.   The film would wrap production in early June, and Landis would spend the rest of the year in an editing bay on the Universal lot with his editor, Malcolm Campbell, who had also cut An American Werewolf in London, Trading Places, the Michael Jackson Thriller short film, and Landis's segment and the Landis-shot prologue to The Twilight Zone.   During this time, Universal would set a February 22nd, 1985 release date for the film, an unusual move, as every movie Landis had made since Kentucky Fried Movie had been released during the summer movie season, and there was nothing about Into the Night that screamed late Winter.   I've long been a proponent of certain movies having a right time to be released, and late February never felt like the right time to release a morbid comedy, especially one that takes place in sunny Los Angeles. When Into the Night opened in New York City, at the Loews New York Twin at Second Avenue and 66th Street, the high in the city was 43 degrees, after an overnight low of 25 degrees. What New Yorker wants to freeze his or her butt off to see Jeff Goldblum run around Los Angeles with Michelle Pfeiffer in a light red leather jacket and a thin white t-shirt, if she's wearing anything at all? Well, actually, that last part wasn't so bad. But still, a $40,000 opening weekend gross at the 525 seat New York Twin would be one of the better grosses for all of the city. In Los Angeles, where the weather was in the 60s all weekend, the film would gross $65,500 between the 424 seat Avco Cinema 2 in Westwood and the 915 seat Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.   The reviews, like with many of Landis's films, were mixed.   Richard Corliss of Time Magazine would find the film irresistible and a sparkling thriller, calling Goldblum and Pfeiffer two of the most engaging young actors working. Peter Travers, writing for People Magazine at the time, would anoint the film with a rarely used noun in film criticism, calling it a “pip.” Travers would also call Pfeiffer a knockout of the first order, with a newly uncovered flair for comedy. Guess he hadn't seen her in the 1979 ABC spin-off of Animal House, called Delta House, in which she played The Bombshell, or in Floyd Mutrix's 1980 comedy The Hollywood Knights.    But the majority of critics would find plenty to fault with the film. The general critical feeling for the film was that it was too inside baseball for most people, as typified by Vincent Canby in his review for the New York Times. Canby would dismiss the film as having an insidey, which is not a word, manner of a movie made not for the rest of us but for the moviemakers on the Bel Air circuit who watch each other's films in their own screening room.   After two weeks of exclusive engagements in New York and Los Angeles, Universal would expand the film to 1096 screens on March 8th, where the film would gross $2.57m, putting it in fifth place for the weekend, nearly a million dollars less than fellow Universal Pictures film The Breakfast Club, which was in its fourth week of release and in ninety fewer theatres. After a fourth weekend of release, where the film would come in fifth place again with $1.95m, now nearly a million and a half behind The Breakfast Club, Universal would start to migrate the film out of first run theatres and into dollar houses, in order to make room for another film of theirs, Peter Bogdanovich's comeback film Mask, which would be itself expanding from limited release to wide release on March 22nd. Into the Night would continue to play at the second-run theatres for months, but its final gross of $7.56m wouldn't even cover the film's $8m production budget.   Despite the fact that it has both Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer as its leads, Into the Night would not become a cult film on home video the way that many films neglected by audiences in theatres would find a second life.   I thought the film was good when I saw it opening night at the Aptos Twin. I enjoyed the obvious chemistry between the two leads, and I enjoyed the insidey manner in which there were so many famous filmmakers doing cameos in the film. I remember wishing there was more of David Bowie, since there were very few people, actors or musicians, who would fill the screen with so much charm and charisma, even when playing a bad guy. And I enjoyed listening to B.B. King on the soundtrack, as I had just started to get into the blues during my senior year of high school.   I revisited the film, which you can rent or buy on Apple TV, Amazon and several other major streaming services, for the podcast, and although I didn't enjoy the film as much as I remember doing so in 1985, it was clear that these two actors were going to become big stars somewhere down the road. Goldblum, of course, would become a star the following year, thanks to his incredible work in David Cronenberg's The Fly. Incidentally, Goldblum and Cronenberg would meet for the first time on the set of Into the Night. And, of course, Michelle Pfeiffer would explode in 1987, thanks to her work with Susan Sarandon, Cher and Jack Nicholson in The Witches of Eastwick, which she would follow up with not one, not two but three powerhouse performances of completely different natures in 1988, in Jonathan Demme's Married to the Mob, Robert Towne's Tequila Sunrise, and her Oscar-nominated work in Stephen Frears' Dangerous Liaisons. Incidentally, Pfeiffer and Jonathan Demme would also meet for the first time on the set of Into the Night, so maybe it was kismet that all these things happened in part because of the unusual casting desires of John Landis.   Thank you for joining us.

It's Monday, October 24th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Did Nigerian gov't exchange hostages for Muslim terrorists? On October 5th, the remaining 23 hostages kidnapped earlier this year from a train by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram were released to the Nigerian military, reports International Christian Concern. The prisoners were in the custody of the terror group for over six months. The attack took place on March 28 of this year, when Boko Haram militants ambushed the passenger train traveling from Abuja to Kaduna and took dozens of captives.  On October 8, a news blast from some unidentified investigative journalists began circling around WhatsApp groups, alleging that 101 Boko Haram terrorists that had been imprisoned since 2009 had just been released by the Nigerian government. It was also alleged that the Nigerian government granted the released Boko Haram terrorist amnesty. The news blast insinuated that the militants were released by the Nigerian government in exchange for the train hostages. The Nigerian government has denied that a swap occurred. The Nigerian government appears to be circumventing their very purpose as outlined in Romans 13:4. It says, “For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” Bannon gets 4 months behind bars for defying Jan. 6th subpoena Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, was sentenced Friday to serve four months behind bars after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6th timeline at the U.S. Capitol, reports The Associated Press. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols allowed Bannon to stay free pending appeal, a potentially lengthy process, and also imposed a fine of $6,500 as part of the sentence. Bannon was convicted in July of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents Nichols handed down the sentence after saying the law was clear that contempt of Congress is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of at least one month behind bars. Bannon's lawyers had argued the judge could have sentenced him to probation instead. Prosecutors had asked for Bannon to be sent to jail for six months. Judge refuses to block bill banning sexual content in Florida's classrooms Last Thursday, a federal judge sided with Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, opting to toss out a challenge to the state's law prohibiting sexual content in school curricula for young children, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Orlando-based U.S. District Judge Wendy Berger, a Trump appointee, handed down the 28-page decision on October 20, denying a request for a preliminary injunction against Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act. Plaintiffs in the case had argued the law was intended to advance discrimination and could lead to the bullying of children with confused “gender identities.” However, Berger noted that the “[p]laintiffs have not pointed this court to any policy or procedure …that they allege has resulted in an increase in bullying.” 12,000 fentanyl pills disguised as candy seized at LAX Parents are advised to be extra vigilant this year in checking what their children bring home on Halloween after agents in Los Angeles seized around 12,000 fentanyl pills packaged in several bags of candy, the latest incident of the deadly drug being disguised as something innocuous, reports The Christian Post. According to a statement from Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, a suspect carrying packages of fentanyl pills attempted to go through a TSA screening at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday, trying to sneak past screening and board a plane. Unbelievably, the deadly pills were inside what appeared to be regular packages of Sweetarts, Skittles, and Whoppers. Celebrate Reformation Day instead of Halloween Better yet, instead of celebrating the cute-ification of evil in Halloween, celebrate Reformation Day and Martin Luther's bold stand when he nailed the 95 Theses on the door of All Saint's Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. Luther challenged the Catholic Church to stop advocating a variety of unbiblical practices.

If you insist on passing out candy, at least include some creative Christian tracts from Living Waters Ministry. 13-year-old dies after jumping in front of SUV to save sister And finally, a teenager in Long Island, New York, died earlier this month after reportedly jumping in front of an oncoming SUV, driving with no lights on, to save his sister's life, reports FaithWire.com. Tyler Phillips, who died just days after his 13th birthday, is being hailed a hero by friends and loved ones who are mourning such a monumental loss. The accident unfolded on October 12th, when he and his sister, Krystal, also 13, were walking back from a park after dark at 7:30p.m. to a shelter, where they were living with their single mother. A family friend, Steffani Campbell, said she witnessed the horror unfold as the Chevrolet Equinox hit the children, according to WNBC-TV. CAMPBELL: “The car hit her first and then ended up like I guess he wants to go jump and grab her and it just took him. She said she watched him fly into the middle out of the street. She pulled him out the street. She called the ambulance. They told her to give him CPR, and that was it.” Tyler's mother described his injuries. MOM: “They tried to resuscitate him in the ambulance. He was gone for 30 minutes. They took him to Stony Brook Hospital. His vertebrae and his skull got separated. He has no brain function. He's gone.” To make matters worse, the SUV driver left the scene and is still at large. Speaking of her brother, Krystal said this. KYSTAL: “He saved my life.” And Tyler's mother praised him. MOM: “He's a hero. And he'll always be a hero.” John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, October 24th, in the year of our Lord 2022.

Pilots had the jetpack guy hovering around 6,000 feet 7 miles of LAX. He was spotted unofficially in July 2021 Close to the last sighting. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, at about 2:45 p.m.15 miles from LAX, a pilot reported to the tower, that someone wearing a jetpack appeared to be flying at around 4,500 feet. The tower reached out to other planes.  Listen to our Podcast for all the fun. The FBI and FAA are once again investigating. Authorities have yet to come up with a confirmed explanation.
