A terror attack is thwarted above Saudi Arabia.
In a huge surprise, Democratic women blame men for all their problems.
And everything is racist.
I Told You This Was Coming
According to the Daily Wire:
A knife-wielding Omani co-pilot repeatedly stabbed his Emirati captain and tried to nosedive a packed Tel Aviv-bound jetliner on Wednesday, sending it plunging 18,000 feet before a band of heroic Israeli passengers smashed into the cockpit and wrestled the attacker to the floor, according to Israeli officials and passenger accounts.
Israel has reportedly classified the incident as an attempted terror attack.
Flydubai Flight FZ1073, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, took off from Dubai early Wednesday with roughly 174 people on board, including about 27 children, bound for Ben Gurion Airport. About an hour and a half out from Israel, the jet first flashed a general distress signal, code 7700. Minutes later, it switched to 7500, the code for “unlawful interference,” aviation shorthand for a hijacking. Then it vanished from flight-tracking apps.
Israeli Air Force fighter jets roared into the sky, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz huddled in an emergency meeting.
Early reports painted the drama as little more than a cockpit scuffle between two feuding pilots. That story fell apart fast.
According to passenger testimony and Israeli security assessments, the co-pilot pulled a pocketknife and plunged it into the captain again and again. He then allegedly seized the controls and aimed the plane at the ground.
As the co-pilot attacked the captain, the aircraft spun out of control for several terrifying minutes as it dropped like a stone.
That’s when ordinary Israelis became extraordinary.
Crew members and passengers reportedly forced their way through the cockpit door and overpowered the attacker. Two off-duty pilots riding in the back reportedly helped steady the crippled jet.
I Believe This
According to the California Post:
Democratic women are far more likely to blame men for their problems than conservative women are — and less than a quarter of young Republican men blame their ills on women, a recent survey found.
Young Democratic women were particularly likely to lay the blame for their problems at men, with 66% of 18 to 29-year-olds saying “the challenges that women face in American society” were “a great deal due to the behavior or actions of men,” according to the Survey Center on American Life.
They also said women faced “a lot” of discrimination in America, the poll found.
But far fewer Republican women felt the same way — with just 18% blaming men for their problems in the US.
Those disparities generally shrank as women grew older, with fewer Democrats blaming men and more Republicans blaming them.
Between ages 30 and 49, 54% of Democratic women blamed men for their problems while 33% of Republicans did. And from ages 50 to 64, 47% of Democratic women faulted men and 25% of Republican women did.
Here We Go Again!
According to the New York Post:
The BBC removed an article that suggested the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted could perpetuate “White supremacist” beauty standards after it drew backlash Saturday.
The original article, “How the bare nails trend became a class issue,” explored the beauty trend of women preferring clear and polished “naked” nails over the more stylish nail designs over the past few years.
The BBC reported that while some consider this trend part of the ever-shifting standards in fashion, critics suggested the image said “something about class” and could potentially stigmatize Black, Latino and Asian communities that popularized heavily designed nails.
“That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to [B]lack and [B]rown communities,” beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo told the BBC.
“They are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate [W]hite supremacist standards of beauty.”
American Conservation Coalition CEO Danielle Franz joked, “Bad news for the ladies who thought they were saving $80 on a manicure but were actually dogwhistling.”
