Dallas Pokornik, a former flight attendant, was arrested in Panama and extradited to Hawaii on wire fraud charges after allegedly posing as a commercial pilot and current flight attendant. From 2019 to 2023, he utilized fraudulent employee identification to secure free tickets on various U.S. airlines, even requesting access to the cockpit jump seat. The indictment did not specify the airlines, but the investigation revealed the airlines were based in Honolulu, Chicago, and Fort Worth. Pokornik’s actions, which led to his continued custody, mirror the plot of the film “Catch Me If You Can.”

Trump says no nation can secure Greenland but the US in Davos speech, and it’s a statement that immediately raises eyebrows, to put it mildly. The sheer audacity of the assertion is striking, especially when considering the intricate web of international relations and alliances that exist in the world today. It’s a bold claim, a sweeping pronouncement that suggests a fundamental misunderstanding of global security and the role of partnerships in maintaining it.
This viewpoint seemingly ignores the existence and the purpose of NATO, a collective defense alliance that includes the United States, and which Greenland, as a part of Denmark, is inherently part of.… Continue reading
The judge’s decision to decline the appointment of a special master to oversee the release of the remaining Epstein files, while legally sound in its reasoning, has ignited a firestorm of frustration and suspicion. The core of the ruling hinges on the concept of “standing.” It seems the judge determined that the congressmen who requested the special master didn’t have the necessary legal standing to do so, meaning they weren’t directly impacted by the issue in a way that granted them the right to bring the case forward. However, the judge seemingly offered a subtle hint, suggesting that victims of Epstein’s crimes, who would likely have the standing needed, could bring the case themselves.… Continue reading
On Wednesday morning in Willowbrook, a federal agent discharged their weapon during an operation, leading to a significant response from local and federal authorities. The U.S. Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security were conducting an operation targeting William Eduardo Moran Carballo, a violent criminal illegal alien from El Salvador involved in human smuggling. Carballo attempted to evade arrest by ramming his vehicle into law enforcement, prompting the agent to fire defensively. The suspect was apprehended without injury, but a CBP officer sustained an injury.

President Trump is seeking a court order to block the Justice Department from releasing the second volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report concerning the 2020 election and classified documents. The motion argues that the release would expose sensitive grand jury materials and privileged information. The first volume focused on election obstruction, while the unreleased second volume focuses on the handling of classified documents. Trump’s motion cites previous rulings that dismissed charges against him, and claims Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional.

On a particular day, Trump delivered a rambling press briefing filled with unsubstantiated claims and bizarre statements, including comments about Somalis, his own accomplishments, and a witness in a recent death. His behavior was widely criticized as irrational and unfit for a leader. Further damaging international relations, Trump sent a deranged note to the leaders of Norway. He also insisted that the world would not be safe until America had complete control of Greenland.

The Trump administration has admitted in a court filing that the “department of government efficiency” (Doge) improperly shared Americans’ social security data. The filing reveals a secret data-sharing agreement between a Doge member and a political advocacy group, and unauthorized use of a third-party server, Cloudflare. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is investigating potential Hatch Act violations due to political activity. The court filing details Doge’s access to sensitive systems and data despite a temporary restraining order, and the agency was unable to determine what data was transmitted.

In a foreign policy speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated Canada’s strong opposition to tariffs on countries opposing U.S. annexation of Greenland and reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to NATO’s Article 5. Carney warned that the rules-based international order is fading, and great powers are using economic integration as weapons, leading to a rupture, not a transition. Canada benefited from this system but must now shift its strategic posture and, along with other “middle-powers,” band together to bargain with hegemons, acknowledging the reality of intensifying great power rivalry.

Over the past two weeks, law enforcement has received numerous complaints of civil rights violations from U.S. citizens, including off-duty officers of color. These individuals have reported being targeted in traffic stops and on the street without cause, and in some cases, being harassed. According to Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley, this raises serious concerns about the widespread targeting of people of color, with ICE agents appearing to engage in racial profiling and violating constitutional rights. The actions, allegedly at the direction of the Trump administration, are part of a broader effort to terrorize communities of color, particularly targeting the local Somali, Latino, and Asian populations.

EU lawmakers stall US trade deal in protest over Greenland. It seems the political temperature has risen significantly, and the potential for a trade showdown between the European Union and the United States is brewing. The situation stems from the brewing discontent with the current US administration and their potential policies, specifically focusing on the idea of the US attempting to purchase Greenland.
EU lawmakers appear ready to use trade as leverage, a move that could significantly impact the US. The heart of the EU’s potential strategy, as I understand it, involves targeting trade areas where the US is particularly vulnerable.… Continue reading
