Aircraft maker Airbus recalled thousands of its A320 family aircraft over the weekend for a software fix, in what has been described as one of the largest directives ever for the company. In an odd twist, radiation from the sun appears to play a central role in these events.

The A320 recently surpassed the Boeing 737 to become the most delivered jetliner in history, and the recall caused havoc to varying degrees for airlines all around the world. Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said that the recalls were "causing significant logistical challenges and delays." Colombian airline Avianca said that the issue had affected more than 70% of its fleet and that it had to close ticket sales for flights through December 8.

The impact of the recall was less severe stateside. Delta and United reported limited impact on its operations while American Airlines said that all 209 of its aircraft that were impacted had been issued the software fix.

Although American air travel was spared from major disruptions, the issue was brought to light after an October incident in which an Airbus A320 operated by JetBlue en route from Cancun, Mexico to Newark, New Jersey suddenly dropped in altitude and had to be rerouted to Tampa, Florida for an emergency landing.

Germany is offering asylum to donkeys from Gaza. Gaza's children? Not allowed.

Germany is now taking in animals from Gaza while refusing entry to injured and sick Palestinians. The message is clear: in Germany's hierarchy of "valuable" life, Palestinians are valued less than animals.

Just when it seems impossible for German policy on Palestine to become more absurd, the country manages to prove otherwise. Last week, reports emerged that at least eight donkeys from Gaza had been "rescued" and flown to Germany. While the operation can be seen as part of an Israeli campaign to deprive people in Gaza of an essential means of transportation, the real outrage lies elsewhere: Germany has already evacuated at least four times as many donkeys as human beings from Gaza.

"They have left behind hunger and misery, beatings and exploitation." This is how a German newspaper opens its story about the donkeys' "rescue" - without a single word explaining who is responsible for their suffering. Worse still, German media have not used such empathetic language for Palestinians in more than two years. Only far-left outlets still describe what is happening in Gaza as "genocide." In the mainstream, the word is treated as a "scandal" in itself. Reports of systematic torture of Palestinians by the Israeli army - most recently documented by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) - barely reach German audiences, and there is certainly no public outcry.

Sexual extortion of children for profit is on the rise, Canada's financial intelligence agency says, and a large portion of such activities are tied to organized crime.

This form of online coercion consists of threats to share sexual images or videos of a victim unless they provide the offenders with money or additional pictures, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) says in a newly published operational alert.

The federal agency released the alert this week as part of its efforts to combat the online sexual exploitation of children. Fintrac said in a press release:
"Online child sexual exploitation is a disturbing global crime targeting children that continues to rise year after year, not only in the number of confirmed reports showing child sexual abuse images, but also in the severity of the images and videos.

"The motivation for sexually exploiting children varies, and while most perpetrators commit child sexual exploitation for sexual gratification and not financial gain, there has been an increase in financially motivated offending, including sexual extortion cases in recent years."

The NY Times has thrown Minnesota governor Tim Walz under the bus over a massive and sprawling fraud scandal that federal prosecutors say siphoned over $1 billion from the state's social safety net programs - more than the entire state spends annually to run its Department of Corrections.


Comment: Is the tide turning? Even loyal establishment footsoldier New York Times feels pressured to report on a Democrat scandal.


The fraud involved a series of schemes that federal authorities say took root over the past five years, many centered within Minnesota's Somali diaspora, where individuals established companies that billed state agencies for services that were never performed. Prosecutors say 59 people have been convicted across various cases so far, in three separate plots.

Comment: Walz's"stricter measures" are just window dressing:





Just imagine if this twat had become Vice President??

A secretive Fort Bragg operation that specializes in influencing people's thoughts has released a hypnotic recruitment video that is laced with hidden meanings and strange images.

Known as the 4th Psychological Operations-Airborne, or 4th PSYOP, the group specializes in "using the power of the mind to persuade opinion and discourse" among the nation's enemies.

The 1:17-second clip, posted Nov. 19 on social media, is a string of baffling clips, including old cartoons, masked figures hiding in plain sight and a group of people staring blankly at the viewer over the phrase: "We are everywhere."

"There is another force applied in combat that we generally don't think of as a weapon of war. That weapon is words," the video says. "Words are weapons. ... This is psychological warfare."

The video then beckons: "Join PSYOP."

Comment: The more reason to keep our brain cells healthy to stay awake and aware.

UPS will have to manage the peak package delivery season of the year with 9% of its air fleet sitting idle, after the firm announced it will indefinitely ground all its McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo jets in the wake of a spectacular disaster in Louisville on Nov. 4 that took 14 lives.

"Regarding the MD-11 fleet, Boeing's ongoing evaluation shows that inspections and potential repairs will be more extensive than initially expected," wrote UPS Airlines President Bill Moore in a memo to employees obtained by AP. Boeing became the manufacturer of the three-engine MD-11 cargo jets after a 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas. The move follows a catastrophic failure that saw the left engine detach from the wing of a UPS MD-11 taking off in Louisville.

Poll: Sympathy for Israel Falls to Historic Low Among U.S. Voters


Big Data Poll
Sun, 23 Nov 2025 16:00 UTC
American Voter Sympathies in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Sympathies for Israel over Palestine in the Middle East conflict fell to a historic low among registered voters in November. A new national survey conducted by BIG DATA POLL finds just under 3 in 10 (29.1%) say they side with the Israelis versus just over 2 in 10 (21.4%) who now side with the Palestinians. In a clear indication of growing weariness over the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the largest share of voters at 29.9% now say they sympathize with "Neither".

Worth noting, sympathies for Israel over Palestine have trended toward more divided opinions for years. A noteworthy exception to this trend was measured after the attacks carried out by the Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist Group Hamas on October 7, 2023. The percentage of registered voters who sympathized with Israel rose sharply to 54%.

Foreigners cannot "groundlessly" expect permanent residence and must leave at the end of their legal stay, Aleksandr Grebenkin has said

Russia no longer sees immigration as a way to offset falling birthrates and will not allow migrants to overstay their legal welcome, Aleksandr Grebenkin, deputy secretary of the country's Security Council, has said.

In an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta released Tuesday, the senior official commented on Russia's State Migration Policy for 2026-2030, approved in October. He said it prioritizes national security and economic development while focusing on combating illegal immigration and integrating foreigners who share traditional values.
"According to the new policy, the migration of foreign citizens to our country is no longer viewed as an auxiliary means of addressing demographic issues, but rather as an additional tool for implementing economic measures," he stated.
He explained that foreigners cannot expect permanent residence in Russia, except for certain categories, and must leave when their legal stay expires.
