Witnesses claim that the male passenger, approximately two hours into the flight, had begun “screaming about Jesus and going to Hell,” before a female flight attendant approached the man to calm the situation. The man then began to shout racial and anti-gay slurs before striking a fellow passenger, according to TMZ.

A female passenger then attempted to intervene, but was pushed away. The devolving incident prompted three male passengers to step in and subdue the belligerent passenger, eventually duct-taping him to his seat and further restraining his hands with zip ties.

The flight was then diverted to Baltimore, where the belligerent passenger was taken into custody by authorities.

"On Sept. 3, American Airlines flight 618 diverted to Baltimore (BWI) due to a disruptive customer," American Airlines told Fox News. "Upon arrival, law enforcement met the aircraft and assisted with deplaning the customer before the flight continued to its destination."

No federal charges for the incident have been filed at this time.

What Lindsay Clancy's Attorney Did on the Courthouse Steps Was Abhorrent

 

Lindsay Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, went bonkers on the courthouse steps today in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He was unprofessional, graceless, and all-around insane. He thanked the female jury forewoman for outing the one juror who was dead set on convicting Lindsay Clancy. 

He thanked the jury, except for that one, saying the rest of the body was “robbed by one man, whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks from the lives of these other jurors.”

It’s reckless. He’s starting a lynch mob, because now these Lululemon freaks are going to find out who this individual is and target him. Maybe that was the long game. 

You can see why this guy is Clancy’s lawyer. 

Also, he claims he won the case. He did not. It was a mistrial, and the Plymouth County DA can and should refile charges. 

Clancy killed her three kids in January 2023 with exercise bands, claiming postpartum psychosis and overmedication drove her over the edge.

Here Are More Details on What Happened to Maria Bartiromo

 We know the full story behind Maria Bartiromo's removal from the airwaves of Fox Business. Some of the initial reporting has been clarified, and other details have been made more specific. Dylan Byers at Puck had the story:

    On July 16, President Trump gave a primetime speech about election integrity in which he attempted to revive long-disproven doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 election. The president alleged that China had sought to interfere with the electoral process, and called on Congress to enact stricter voting requirements ahead of the midterms. A day earlier, Ralph Giordano, the senior vice president of programming for the Fox Business Network, sent a text message to Maria Bartiromo’s producers with guidance to forgo coverage of the speech on her upcoming show. Giordano’s primary intended recipient was ostensibly Patrick Ignozzi, the executive producer of Bartiromo’s show Mornings With Maria on Fox Business.

    […]

    Regardless, Bartiromo renewed her contract with Fox News Media in February of last year, and asked for specific provisions to ensure that Giordano would have no influence or oversight of her show, according to sources with knowledge of the contract negotiations. Nevertheless, Giordano continued to exert his broader influence through editorial guidance, such as the text message he sent to Ignozzi and other producers on July 15, which Ignozzi subsequently sent to Bartiromo.

    As it turned out, Bartiromo had been planning to cover Trump’s speech on her show, according to sources familiar with her plans. She had also planned to book Peter Navarro, a senior counselor to Trump who has aggressively pushed the voter fraud narrative, to talk about the president’s remarks and the administration’s broader concerns over election integrity.

    In an interview on Friday, Navarro told me that when Bartiromo received Giordano’s guidance, she took a screenshot and forwarded it to him to tell him that management was not letting her cover the speech—or, in his words, “censoring” it. Navarro subsequently passed that information “up the chain,” he said, informing senior administration officials of the guidance. One high-ranking White House official, whom Navarro declined to identify, reached out to Fox News leadership to express their frustration with the decision. (Status first reported yesterday that Bartiromo had shared internal editorial guidance with the administration. Both Fox News and a representative for Bartiromo declined to comment.)

Bartiromo wanted to report on President Trump’s July address on election interference, which included details about Beijing’s efforts to undermine our elections. Given that Bartiromo was named in the Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits, the network decided not to air the speech.

Yet Bartiromo was ready to go with the primetime address this summer and had booked Peter Navarro as a guest. When told of the program change, she shared the message with Navarro, who forwarded it to the Trump White House. A high-ranking official, whom Navarro declined to name, then contacted the network, outing Bartiromo as the source. This incensed top Fox executives, Fox News Media C.E.O. Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace, who allowed her show to continue throughout the summer before yanking her off the air on August 9. The final episode of Morning with Maria aired on September 3, the day the network officially announced her departure. 

She is slated to be off-air for the foreseeable future- a ghost firing, if you will- though Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, who has a lengthy list of high-level media clients, has strongly pushed back on claims that Bartiromo was fired. 

She signed an extension with the network last February. Puck added that Giordano and Bartiromo were not on the best of terms at the network as well. 

    NEW: Maria Bartiromo’s lawyer Bryan Freedman sends statement:

    For many years, Maria Bartiromo hosted three number one rated television shows on Fox channels. She has been, without question, one of the hardest working journalists throughout her award winning career.

This Texas City Just Cancelled Permits for a Leftist Protest and the Liberal Reactions Are Hilarious

 

Officials from the city of Dallas have canceled planned protest permits for the upcoming Republican Midterm Convention after requests from the Dallas Police Department, according to a local outlet.

The one-hour long protest planned for September 10 had its special permitting revoked. Dallas Police claim that the recommendation for revocation came because they would have preferred to work directly with protest organizers “for a quicker process.”

Event organizers claim that Dallas Police have repeatedly set meetings with organizers only to cancel moments before the meeting or to not show up altogether. Some organizers with the Dallas Against the Trump Agenda Coalition, the protest organizers, claim that the failure to communicate amounts to obstruction.

“They did try to get us in meetings with DPD, and constantly DPD didn’t show up,” Xavi Velasquez said. “DPD didn’t show up, and then whenever DPD reached out to us directly and set up a meeting, they canceled it right before the meeting. So, keeping that in mind, and with DPD running us off of City Hall property, we just have little faith in them respecting our rights.”

“Now we’re supposed to start all over again with the Dallas Police Department,” Jo Hargis told the Dallas Observer. “It just feels like the city and Dallas police are obstructing a rally of people expressing their First Amendment rights, and that it’s a mishandling on their part of an expression that we’re entitled to.”

The Republican Midterm Convention is slated to be the largest gathering of its kind since 2016. Over 20,000 people are expected to participate to hear about the success of the Trump administration since retaking office and the party’s plans to promote prosperity and security heading into 2028.

Attendees will hear from President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and many others across the two-day programming on September 9 and 10.

California Was the American Dream. What Happened?

 person 1: We know that in California, Xavier, I think his name is Becerra, is going to win, but he is the most unimpressive of governors I’ve ever seen. Even Kamala Harris said he was not up to snuff, and she is, of course, one of the most unimpressive of mediocrities. 

person 2: He doesn’t come out and talk about the Biden immigration policies, which he was involved in when there were all of these unattended youth, 350,000 they can’t account for. 

If that had been [President Donald] Trump, he’d be in jail. So, he’s not very … I followed his career in California. He’s not very adept. He’s not a good speaker.

But again, Steve Hilton has all the answers. He really does, and he would be wonderful for the state. He’s running about 18% [behind]. Let’s just say that the polls, being all slanted and designed to raise Democratic money and create Democratic momentum, are exaggerated, as we know they have been in these other races. 

So, let’s say they’re eight points off. So, he’s ahead of Steve Hilton by eight to nine points.  

Now, my question is this: Why would anybody vote for a person tied in with Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi and that whole tradition of Bay Area politicians who’ve taken control of the state from the LA center of power of the 1970s and ’80s, when they gave us a huge government fraud program? Devastating wildfires due to their policies about not cleaning up the forest. 

The highest electricity rates in the continental United States. The highest gasoline rates in the continental United States. The highest income tax, state income tax, 13.3. The highest gas taxes. The highest number of homeless people. Almost the same as Appalachia, 21% below the poverty line. 

One out of every three welfare recipients, 50% of the births on Medi-Cal, welfare type of thing, 40% of everybody uses that health care system. And we’ve got a high-speed rail not far from where I’m speaking that we’ve spent $20 billion on, and it hasn’t laid, in 10 years—12 years—one foot of track. And this group of people has overseen that.  

And I have an answer for you. The answer is this, and I’ve said it before: 28% of the state was not born in the United States. 

Another 7 to 8 million of our 40 million Californians are the children of people, and that can mean they were just born here one day when their parents arrived, right? But anyway, they have not been fully integrated, acculturated, and assimilated. You add those two groups of first- and second-generation immigrants, and you get about 45% to 46% of the population. 

And when you look at where those immigrants came from, three large groups: south of the border, Mexico and Central America; India; and China. Those are all impoverished groups.  

So, in their way of thinking—and I talk to a lot of them—when they come to California and they see how far it has declined and what it was like in the 1960s as a can-do state that was at the cutting edge of aqueducts and water projects and the tripartite UC, CSU, JC system, and I think it was number nine in test scores, and it was well-governed, it was not corrupt, and they had one of the most sophisticated highway systems. 

When they see all that, they don’t know. They just say I don’t know. Listen, I grew up in Venezuela. I grew up in Oaxaca. I grew up… I’ve never seen a place like this. It’s wealthy. And you know what? The moment I set across—I put a toe across the U.S. border—these crazy people think I’ve been oppressed. 

And not only have I been oppressed, I’ve been oppressed by them. So, I come over from India or China or Mexico, and all of a sudden, my kids get preference getting into school. I get preference in civil service hiring.  

And if somebody said, “Well, Victor, you’ve said yourself that DEI was on the way.” I said, “It is the way out.” 

But there was just a statistic that Mission High School in San Francisco, 94% are not proficient in math and like 70% are not proficient in English, and it’s sending a huge amount of its graduates to UC Berkeley. And then there was an example of another school district where 95% are proficient. Instead of getting 45% of the applicants accepted like Mission, they got eight. 

In other words, they were penalized for turning out students that were superbly trained in math and English, and only 8% got in. That’s California, and it hasn’t changed.  

So, they look at that. So, I think those voters, I mean, they’re the majority. They’re 45%. I’m not talking about other ethnic … 

I’m not talking about third-generation people from those same areas. I’m talking about just first or second. So, it takes three generations to become conservative when you’re an immigrant from a poor country. It does. 

person 1: Yeah. 

person 2: In my experience, it does. 

person 1: Yeah. And to add to your statistics on California, just glancing at the California Post—that’s also the New York Post—today, Kentucky Fried Chicken’s closing down 44 stores, and U-Haul is reporting that more and more people are exiting the state as well. 

person 2: I see them every day. It’s crazy. It’s one of those weird stories where you see the national story that 11 million people have left, and you think, “Oh my gosh, there go the Reagan voters. There go the Pete Wilson voters. There go the George Deukmejian voters,” right? “There go the Arnold Schwarzenegger voters.” 

And then you start to see … I have a wonderful group of people I hadn’t seen since I graduated from high school, you know, 55 years ago, and one of them lives right here. 

He’s fourth generation. He just left to South Carolina. And I talked to another person—I won’t mention him—but I had just talked to him, and he was talking about a nice home near his in Fresno that I should look at, and I was considering it. And he’s in Arizona now, and I don’t blame him one bit. 

So, it’s everybody is leaving who would vote for a conservative, and everybody is coming who compares the welfare state of California and the DEI complex as superbly convenient to them and much better than the conditions that they had in India and China and Mexico.  

So, when somebody says to them, “You don’t know what California was like before these people took over. You should have seen what California was like under Reagan and Wilson and—” 

It worked. The universities worked. The highways were sufficient for the population at the time. We built nuclear plants. We were at the cutting edge of airports. LAX was not like it is now. It was not. And the California Water Project was going to have more reservoirs. 

And they say, “Well, go down to Chiapas. Go down to Michoacán. Go into, you know, a big city in India. Tell me that this is not better.” And that’s their frame of reference. And then you start meeting people from India in the third generation or from Mexico that have been here, and they don’t know the home country. 

Then they look at it and see this is a dysfunctional society because they can see it on the news, and they’ve traveled to other states. But that’s a long-winded explanation of why I want Steve Hilton to win. But I’m not as optimistic as I should be because he’s got an English accent too. 

Becerra has a slight Hispanic accent, and that … 

person 1: I saw him on Fox News. He said the polls are closing from the 25-point gap earlier, and now it’s below 10. 

person 2: I believe that. I believe that. But still, he’s also warring against another thing. California, I feel, is the most lax state as far as registration. 

We saw that in the mayor’s race where, is it Raman or whatever her name was? She had conceded, and then all these mail-in ballots came, and then people in the homeless communities were saying they were getting money to register the same day and vote. And I know that, having children at my house, years after they went out on their own, I would still get their ballots here. 

I got them for about five years, and I would write—I’d send them back—and it didn’t do any good. They just kept sending. Anytime you come in contact with a California agency, they send out a registration. That’s intentional. They want that edge, the Democratic Party. 

Yeah. The irony is that right during COVID, I read a Stanford Law article in the Stanford Law Review, they didn’t say so, but it was talking about the effort going on to get mail-in and early ballots in the 2020 election.

OK. So, remember, everybody, Molly Ball, I keep saying, wrote that article in Time Magazine explaining how that was a cabal. That was her words, not mine. Conspiracy, her words, not mine, to change balloting laws so you would have 70% of people not voting on Election Day who could not be audited. 

But the Stanford Review was talking about the incipient, just the beginning of that, and this left-wing neo-socialist review was criticizing it because they said, “This is full of so many holes and can’t be verified that the right will use it.” See what I mean?  

And I thought when I read it, I said, “No, you’re right about it can’t be verified, but it’s your guys who did it, and your guys know how to cheat a lot better than our guys do.”

When the Left Ignores Federal Law and Sounds Like Neo-Confederates

 person 1: So, I asked two questions from Barry McDonald in the last episode. We’re doing two vacation episodes, you and I are. I know you’re doing two with the great Sami Winc. And he asked simply about sanctuary cities.

Victor, tell us: What are their dangers, their legal loopholes? I don’t know if you need to get into that. How did they come to be? Victor, you’ve talked about sanctuary cities before. They’re not just a simple happenstance in America. I think they’re dangerous things. But what do you think, my friend?

person 2: Well, they’re unconstitutional, that’s for sure. And I will just preface my answer with this: If Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, conservatives, Republicans adopted the idea of sanctuary cities, a neo-Confederate states’ rights idea right out of the mouth of John C. Calhoun, they would do something like this.

They would say, “The state of Utah, or a city of Casper, Wyoming, or Mobile, Alabama, we declare that we don’t honor the Federal Endangered Species Act. We just don’t honor it. So, if we have a developer and he’s carving out a golf course and there is a three-eared toad that’s endangered, he’s just gonna smash him because we don’t honor federal law here. We’re not gonna cooperate with the [Environmental Protection Agency].”

Or if somebody in a county, I’m not picking on states, I’m just doing it randomly, but let’s say a county in Arkansas said, “You know what? I can read the Second Amendment. It says I have a right to bear arms. And I find in our county, we’ve decided that it is unconstitutional to make you register a handgun with the federal government. So, we are a sanctuary city, and no one in this county in Arkansas is gonna register any federal guns, and we’re not gonna cooperate at all with the ATF, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. If they try to come in here, we’re gonna protest, we’re gonna combine, we’re gonna do everything we can.”

Well, you can imagine what would happen. A Barack Obama or Joe Biden or Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton would say, “You’re an insurrectionist.” And they would call out federal troops because, in the Constitution, it’s clear that in matters of federal law, they trump state law. And that is a federal matter: immigration.

Somehow, we have over 600 entities, counties, cities, entire states like California. And that means that when law enforcement arrest, if you’re in California—and I’ve had this happen four or five times in the last 40 years, where an illegal alien on a Sunday afternoon or Saturday night went airborne drunk and plowed in and took out 10 almond trees or 20 vines, and we heard a big crash, and we went out there, and the car was littered with drugs and alcohol bottles, and the driver took off. Or sometimes, on two occasions, he was there.

I call the police and, first of all, I couldn’t possess the car. They wouldn’t let me tow it away or keep it to pay for the thousands of dollars of damage. But when they took him in and bailed him out, I said, “Are you gonna deport him if he’s illegal?”

“No, we’re not gonna deport him. We can’t.”

I mean, “We’ve had this now for, I guess, 15 years. We’re not gonna deport him. We don’t recognize federal immigration law here in California.”

And then you say, “Well, maybe you shouldn’t go to Yosemite. Maybe the federal government should say, ‘We own Yosemite, and we don’t want you to go into our national park until you honor our national law. You’re an American first and a Californian second.’”

But they get away with it. They get lower-court judges to rewrite the law.

And Donald Trump is the first president—and people should remember that, who are so critical of him. He’s the first person to challenge it. And he has tried to cut off transportation funds to these cities and some federal funds to these cities and entities and counties and states that break federal law.

And of course, the lower courts have opposed him. It’s a neo-Confederate idea. I thought we settled the issue, Jack, with Fort Sumter, which was a federal fort. Lincoln fortified it, and South Carolina fired on it. And they said, “Oh, it’s in our proximity.”

And Lincoln said, “No, no, no, no. It’s a federal fort. It’s federal land. And by the way, post offices and armories in your Confederacy don’t belong to you. They’re federal property.”

And that was really the pretext of the whole Civil War. The real issues were slavery, of course, and states’ rights, but the trigger was they were not going to let federal troops occupy federal property, which was illegal.

So, all of a sudden, I guess the Left has turned into right-wing states’ rights people.

person 1: Yeah.

person 2: And it won’t stop until the federal government goes to the Supreme Court and says, “You have the right to deny federal funds to entities that break federal law.” And believe me, they don’t allow any state, any red state, purple state, or county to defy federal law. Right. You know what I mean?

person 1: Yeah. I’m always struck by that, Victor, the accessibility to federal funds. From our youth, mine anyway, the implementation of the 55-mile-an-hour speed limit was somehow tied to if you didn’t do it, you weren’t getting federal funds.

person 2: Exactly. I remember that.

Yeah. I think it was Montana or Wyoming that said, “We’re not gonna do it.”

person 1: Yeah.

person 2: And they said, “If you don’t do it, you’re not going to get federal funds.” I don’t know why we can’t do that again.

Yeah. But what it means is you arrest somebody for drunk driving or for murder or for assault, and if he posts bond or there is no cash bail and you let him out, we used to say that you check their immigration status and you called [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. And then ICE showed up, and they got him, and they looked at him, and they deported him if it was a crime that was a minor felony or a misdemeanor. They deported him immediately.

But now, as we saw with that judge, if ICE shows up at a hearing, not just on immigration status, but a felon, and they know that an illegal alien is there, the judge, as we saw in that one case, helped him escape from ICE.

person 1: The Wisconsin judge who got a rap on the hands.

person 2: Yeah. Nothing really happened to her.

They didn’t really do much to her. And law enforcement is ordered by these sanctuary mayors and governors and supervisors not to cooperate. It’s against the law.

[New York City Mayor Zohran] Mamdani will fire you if you are a policeman and you arrest an illegal alien, and when he gets out of jail, you call ICE.

person 1: Yeah. We talked on a recent episode about these 21 blue states and the District of Columbia suing the federal government over, you talked about it, illegal licenses. It just struck me while you were talking: It’s a crime, I guess, to be here illegally and to have a CDL license. But what about the people who are handing out the CDL licenses who are government workers? There is some criminal stuff.

There’s a federality going on there.

person 2: Yeah, there is. You remember, was it a candidate for governor in Maryland or somewhere that had an illegal alien living in their loft, in their barn, or garage? And people cited a statute that said knowingly harboring an illegal alien and abetting him was a crime. It is, but no one …

You know, the Left just says, “There’s your law, and then there’s our sense of morality, our law, and we’re better, we’re smarter than you are. We’re more morally superior. So, we like the law when it’s convenient, and it can be used to advance our agenda or to hurt your agenda. But otherwise, we don’t really follow it. We don’t really care.

“If we don’t have the court, we want to pack it. If we won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College, we want to get rid of the Electoral College. If we can’t win enough senators, we want to bring in two states and get four senators. If we’re in the minority, well, then the filibuster is great. When we’re in the majority, it’s a racist holdover.”

They’re like adolescents. They really are. Anybody that’s raised teenagers knows that they always look at the entire world through their self-interest for a year or two until they grow up. But they never grew up. They’re arrested development.
