Make Flying Unaffordable

30,000 Pilot Shortage + Union Demands Will Make Flying Unaffordable.

Flying in the United States is set to become unaffordable for normal Americans with a combination of severe pilot shortages and increasingly-demanding pilot unions causing ticket prices to soar.

It is estimated that airlines across North America will suffer shortages of around 30,000 pilots over the next decades, as the U.S. is failing to train enough, with others opting to retire early.

“The supply of new pilots will grow, but not enough to offset a continuing wave of retirements,” states the management consulting firm, Oliver Wyman.

Pilot unions are doubling down as a result of the increased leverage and are able to drive a hard bargain in negotiations with airlines. Pilots working for United Airlines, for example, look set to receive a 34.5 to 40.5 percent pay increase over the next four years, with United having to offer other perquisites, including job security and retirement packages, and better benefits and work-life balance assurances. Pilots employed by American Airlines, too, are pushing for better pay and working conditions to match those of United, causing the companies to increase ticket prices to make up for the shortfall.

Though increasingly unaffordable, Americans will still at least have the option to fly. France, by comparison, recently announced a ban on all short-haul flights under two-and-a-half hours in an effort to “reduce carbon emissions.”

Illegal Migrants Could Become Cops in New, Far Left Plan.

Democrats in Illinois are pushing through radical legislation that will allow for non-U.S. citizens and illegal migrants to serve as police officers despite federal law allowing only U.S. citizens to serve as officers or police deputies. The news follows Washington D.C.’s move to weaponize non-citizens against the native public.

Illinois House Bill 3751 will come into force on January 1, 2024 if passed by Governor Pritzker. The bill permits illegal migrants who are undergoing “federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process” to carry firearms and arrest American citizens as part of their duties, provided they are 21 years old. The measure was supported tand affirmed by the Democrat-controlled Illinois House of Representatives and State Senate.

The bill forms part of a “natural progression,” argues the primary sponsor of the bill, Democrat Representative Barbara Hernandez, who highlights the federal government’s 2021 decision to allow illegal migrants to become healthcare workers and members of the U.S. military.

Bill 3751 was one of a number of bills recently passed by the far-left billionaire Governor of Illinois. Pritzker also signed a bill that forbids landlords in the state to consider one’s immigration status when considering potential tenants.

Joe Biden Has Spent 39% of His Presidency on Vacation.

President Joseph R. Biden has spent a whopping 360 days – 39 percent – of his presidency on vacation so far. The president’s time spent away from the White House and his presidential duties has increased from 25 percent of his time – a 56 percent jump in the last two years since The National Pulse last reported on the subject.

Biden spent last weekend sitting on a Delaware beach, and will stay on vacation for a total of ten days. He has admitted that he takes every opportunity possible to go on vacation, stating last year:

“Every time I get a chance, I go home to Delaware… You think I’m joking. I’m not.”

– President Joe Biden, 2023.

President Biden has also spent weeks staying in the homes of some of his largest donors, such as Bill and Connie Neville’s Virgin Islands property, and billionaire David Rubenstein’s Martha’s Vineyard compound.

Biden has often been away during international or domestic emergencies, choosing, for example, to vacation during the international crisis of the fall of Kabul in August 2021. His current holiday coincides with his son Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer appearing for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee.

DeSantis PAC Spent Near 50% of Donor Cash Through RINO Strategist Jeff Roe’s Firms.

Ron DeSantis’s ‘Never Trump’ chief strategist, Jeff Roe, saw nearly 50 percent of the Florida Governor’s Never Back Down PAC cash flow through his companies, several of which are currently subject to law suits related to a botched ballot initiative in Nevada.

Per campaign finance filings, Roe and his company Axiom – which features a litany of establishment/RINO consultants on payroll – handled $16.4 million of more than $40 million spent in just two months’ campaigning.

The figure includes a whopping $14.8 million of media buys, for which “an Axiom subsidiary took a commission of 1.75 percent for the media placement, or about $259,000,” according to the Washington Post.

Blitz Canvassing, a vendor owned by GP3 – a Soros and Paul Ryan-linked firm first exposed by The National Pulse – was paid $1.2 million over the same period. GP3 also owns pollster ‘POS Strategies’, which has consistently published ludicrous outlier polling attempting to aid DeSantis. POS does not share its raw data, like reputable pollsters.

The DeSantis campaign also spent near $1.5 million on travel expenses and private jets over just six weeks, accounting for nearly 20 percent of its total spending, with the Governor apparently refusing to fly commercial for fear of being around members of the public.

Filings are also set to reveal $5.5 million in dark money donations from a group known only as Faithful & Strong Policies Inc, which was founded in Florida last year. Faithful & Strong Policies has a generic, default website, though National Pulse research reveals the company’s listed officer as Scott Wagner – a Florida lawyer handed a cushy government role by Governor DeSantis in 2019, and who chaired his “transition team” in 2022.

The dark money group’s name change filings also list Jessica Brouckaert, a political lawyer who worked for Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush. Brouckaert is married to Brian Bartlett, also a Romney alumnus, who now works at establishment public relations and lobbying firm Kekst.

North Korea Says It’ll ‘Annihilate’ the U.S. This Century.

North Korea’s Foreign Ministry has promised to “annihilate” the United States through military power by the end of the 21st century. The pledge came during a meeting to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice earlier this week.

“Should the U.S. choose to offend our Republic, we will annihilate them by using all our military power that we have gathered so far,” North Korean diplomats risibly claimed in a statement on Thursday.

“The Korean War in the last century marked the beginning of the downfall of the U.S. Now, the 21st century would see the irrevocable termination of the U.S. The rulers of the U.S. are well advised to forget, on no account, the lessons of history,” the diplomats added.

Leader Kim Jong Un’s anti-American rhetoric has increased following the election of Joe Biden. During Donald Trump’s presidency, the U.S. enforced strict sanctions on North Korea, which forced Kim Jong Un – “Rocket Man” – to negotiate the country’s own denuclearization. Trump was also the first sitting president to enter the country. Since then, North Korea has ramped up its nuclear testing program and made countless international threats.

North Korea was recently elected to the World Health Organization’s Executive Board, despite large proportions of its population being regularly left to starve.

Mystery Chinese Biolab Discovered in California.

Local and federal authorities have discovered an illegal, China-linked lab operating in a warehouse containing bioengineered mice and improperly stored disease samples including COVID-19, HIV, and herpes, in Fresno, California.

Around 1,000 lab mice were found inside the warehouse, 175 of which were already dead. Investigators discovered roughly 30 refrigerators and freezers, incubators, medical testing supplies, 800 different chemicals in various bottles, and at least 20 infectious disease agents identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Fresno County Health staff also “observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material.”

A person called Wang Zhaolin presented themselves as a representative for the warehouse’s unlicensed tenant Prestige BioTech – a “shady” Chinese company. Wang admitted to investigators that “these mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” The company has been forthcoming with little else, however. Officials could not find any other Californian address for Prestige BioTech, and the company’s addresses in China were unverifiable, reports NBC News.

The lab was destroyed by officials on July 7, despite the ongoing investigation. “This is an unusual situation. I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Reedley City Manager Nicola Zieba.

This follows a former Wuhan Institute of Virology employee turned whistleblower claiming that the Chinese Communist Party deliberately engineered COVID-19 to act as a “bioweapon.”

NeoCon Douglas Murray Says Trump Brought Shame on White House.

NeoCon Douglas Murray argues that Donald Trump brought ‘shame’ upon the White House and asserts that Joe Biden’s presidency – unprecedented only in terms of mismanagement, scandal, and alleged financial corruption – has merely followed in the example of the ’embittered’ 45th President.

Murray — who feigns right wing credentials for the sake of book sales — suggests the Democratic argument of ‘what about Trump’ is somewhat comparable to the crooked affairs of Biden and his youngest son Hunter, arguing:

“…for a while, that was almost an argument. Today, Trump has a mounting pile of legal indictments against him, with more to come. They relate to everything from a campaign finance issue which many people see as being overblown to possible charges relating to alleged election-rigging in the state of Georgia.”

He does, however, acknowledge that the charges against Hunter Biden, which include his failure to pay tax on over one million dollars and a felony gun charge, carrying a maximum sentence of ten years, do “stand on their own.”

Murray is an ardent, interventionist neoconservative who has grifted off right wing populist movements despite naysaying them privately for years.

Enthusiastically homosexual Murray predicted eight months ago that Trump’s “psychodrama” would end, paving the way for Ron DeSantis. No such thing has happened.

Obama-Judge Suspends Law Protecting Kids From Drag Shows.

A federal judge in Montana has temporarily blocked a new law that protects children from drag queen performances, ruling that it could ‘disproportionately’ harm the LGBT and Pride community.

U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris – appointed by President Obama in 2013 – suspended the law because, he argued, the 15,000 expected attendees of Montana Pride “cannot avoid chilled speech or exposure to potential civil or criminal liability.”

The law would “disproportionately harm not only drag performers, but any person who falls outside traditional gender and identity norms,” added Morris on Friday. Montana Pride attendees are once again able to hold events in public in front of children, as a result of the decision.

The law attempted to ban children from “sexually oriented” performances and forbids Pride events from taking place where children may be present. The law also prohibits “Drag Queen Story Hour,” in which sexually-dressed drag queens read books to children in schools or libraries.

Department of Justice spokeswoman Emily Flower hit back at the decision, telling POLITICO:

“We look forward to presenting our written response and full argument at the upcoming preliminary injunction hearing to defend the law and protect minors from sexually oriented performances.”

Notably, Brett Blomme – former head of the foundation Cream City LGBTQ+ which ran Drag Queen Story Hour –  was arrested two years ago for possession of child pornography.

Italy: Wildfires Begun by Arsonists, Not Climate Change.

As summer wildfires push the likes of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to claim the “era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived,” reports suggest the vast majority of blazes in Italy, at least, are actually down to arsonists.

The National Confederation of Direct Farmers, Coldiretti, estimates arson is responsible for up to 60 percent of the blazes in the Mediterranean country. Roberto Occhiuto, the regional president for the southerly Calabria region, believes arsonists are behind an even higher 80 percent of the blazes, at least in his jurisdiction.

“Last year in Calabria we caught 22 arsonists and this year, too, we are finding several,” he told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

Wildfires on the Greek island of Corfu, a popular destination for British and other Western European tourists, have also been blamed on arsonists by local officials – much to the irritation of climate scientists, who are keen to attribute any issues accompanying the dry summer weather to man-made global warming.

Republicans Write ‘Strongly Worded Letter’ As U.S. Border Goes to Shit.

Republican Senators have written a “strongly worded letter” in response to to the Biden regime’s policy of expanding ‘lawful pathways’ to encourage hundreds of thousands of migrants to cross the U.S.-Mexico border every month.

Senator John Cornyn was joined by Senators Marsha Blackburn, Katie Britt, Tommy Tuberville, Cynthia Lummis, Tedd Budd, Steve Daines, and Cindy Hyde-Smith to call Biden’s policy “an unserious attempt” to confront the crisis at the Southern Border. The letter reads:

“The Biden administration’s rule is an unserious attempt at resolving the border crisis and is full of loopholes that the cartels will easily exploit to continue moving unlawful migrants into the United States and overwhelm our Border Patrol… Rather than stop unlawful migration, President Biden is using this rule to funnel the migrants into unlawful parole programs, and this resolution would put an end to this shell game to hide an unprecedented level of illegal immigration.”

The pathetic reaction goes to the heart of President Trump’s comments this weekend, where he asserted that Republicans in Congress are too “high class” in their handling of Democrats and their destructive policies.

Biden’s border policy – formalized in the 2022 Los Angeles Declaration on Migration Protection  – encourages “regular migration” by permitting up to 30,000 people each from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Cuban, to enter the United States, but has since been expanded to include citizens of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The new law allows migrants who have been denied asylum elsewhere to claim asylum before even arriving in the United States and to be instantly released into the country upon arrival. Migrants are merely allocated a meeting with a border official around three to four years after they arrive and are free to travel and work across the United States in the meantime.

President Biden’s failed asylum policies have forced migrants to remain in US custody for as long as 30 days – far longer than is legally permitted.
