Whoopi Goldberg’s Hail Mary lawsuit against Elon Musk and Twitter has failed…hard. Judge Joseph Barron of the 65th District Court of Writs and Warrants declined to authorize the case, calling it a “travesty of litigation.” Goldberg claimed in her suit that because Elon Musk banned her from Twitter, he violated her constitutional right to free speech. Musk’s lawyer, Sandra Dee Batt, reminded Judge Barron that Goldberg’s account was deleted after she quit the platform voluntarily. “What we have here,” said Ms. Batt, “is someone who wants to have her privileges restored so she can join and quit at…

“Sadly, Kaya was recently diagnosed with an untreatable cancer, so we have the solemn honor of taking her on what will be her last flight.” The military service dog who inspired a federal law was honored by Southwest Airlines during her final flight earlier this month.

After last week’s catastrophe when Chef Gordon Ramsay was incensed by the hosts of The View during his rare appearance and stomped off the set in an unholy rage, the entire situation has escalated. As usual, and as anyone who’s seen the man’s programs, Ramsay isn’t taking the insult lying down. He’s full on leading a charge across Hollywood and the American community to have The View completely cancelled. “I want that f**cking show off,” he blew up at our crack reporter Joe Barron. “I want it gone and f**cked off properly. That cow Goldberg can get a job at…

Jesus Christ momentarily grabbed the spotlight from Jalen Hurts and Pat Mahomes during Sunday’s Super Bowl when two multimillion-dollar “He Gets Us” advertisements aired to promote Christianity. The commercials stood out from the rest of the star-studded ads, due in part to the fact they weren’t linked to a famous product or brand — and sparked immediate questions over who forked over the cash for the costly campaign. The “He Gets Us” ads, which directed viewers to a website to learn more about Jesus, were funded by Hobby Lobby CEO David Green and a string of other anonymous Christian donors. But the…

This awesome video shows how Marine vertical landing jets use a Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System like their supercarrier-based counterparts. When you think of carrier landings, a few essentials probably come to mind—hook, wire, and the “Meatball,” known by its full name as the Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System, or IFLOS. While the Meatball is known to be a critical component for fixed-wing pilots landing on catapult and arresting gear-equipped (CATOBAR) carriers, it’s less known that America’s ‘big deck’ amphibious assault ships (LHDs and LHAs) are also equipped with the system. Thanks to one Harrier pilot that goes by the handle @overdesigned on Twitter, we get…

When comparing the combat capabilities of the F-35 Lightning II and the F-22 Raptor, the answer to the question – “who would win in a dog fight?”—is difficult to answer definitively. Doing combat implements such as air-to-air dogfights or air-to-ground strikes require a degree of situational awareness and a combination of tactics that ultimately determine the outcome. However, it is possible to look at the specifications of each aircraft and the differences between them to draw a comparison between the two aircraft and make an educated guess as to which would prove victorious in a one-on-one battle. The F-35 is…

But if anyone deserves a dignified funeral, it’s these heroic men and women who risked their lives to serve our country.

But one pair of new friends has something extra special in common—and miraculously found each other when they needed it most.

Despite the Air Force’s intention to retire the Raptor within the coming decade, the aircraft is expected to remain in service until its replacement — the Next Generation Air Dominance fighter — comes online.
