U.S. Airlines May Start Weighing Passengers At The Gate - View from the Wing
"U.S. airlines may need to start weighing passengers in order to comply with FAA rules.
For safety reasons, carriers need to calculate an aircraft’s weight and balance, and it has to be within allowable limits for the plane.
However the assumptions they’ve been using for passengers are outdated.
Americans are getting fatter, and the federal government wants airlines to find out how much fatter their passengers have gotten, at least for smaller aircraft.
Americans are getting fatter, and the federal government wants airlines to find out how much fatter their passengers have gotten, at least for smaller aircraft.
- The FAA realizes that passenger weight can vary by route and airlines may want to document this difference.

"...Given the extraordinary and ongoing threats to the life and safety of the governor and her family, we do not generally comment on the governor's personal schedule," Whitmer Chief of Staff JoAnne Huls said in a memo to Whitmer's team that was first reported by Michigan Information & Research Service Inc. and released to the news media.
"However, I fully expect Republican party officials will continue to make political attacks against the governor and her family, so I wanted you to have the facts."

Democrat Looks to Censure Republicans Who Disagree With January 6 Narrative
"Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline is asking colleagues to sign on to a resolution that would censure three House Republicans for trying to minimize the events surrounding the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
Censure is a very serious matter.
Only expulsion from Congress would be a worse punishment.
If Democrats are going to censure Republicans for downplaying what happened on 1/6, what should the punishment be for hysterically overexaggerating what happened at the riot?...Read all!

Study: Coral Numbers Show Climate-Related Extinction Threat Is Non-Existent | Climate Change Dispatch
"That climate change threatens the extinction of coral reefs is among the least well-founded but most persistent assertions made by climate alarmists.
In truth, scientists have previously had no clear population count of how many individual corals and coral species existed worldwide.
However, new research described in an article on Phys.org, titled “Half a trillion corals: World-first coral count prompts rethink of extinction risks,” places the number of corals in the Pacific Ocean alone at more than half a trillion.
There are likely trillions more worldwide.
The scientists involved in the research say the sheer number of corals and coral species means the risk of extinction due to climate change is vastly lower than previously claimed.

AP CEO Weighs in on Whether They Knew Hamas Was In Their Building in Gaza
"...I’m not sure that admitting to being ignorant is a best take for the AP to have here. Kind of makes everyone think you really aren’t very good at your job. You know, that whole journalism thing, or that they’re just not wanting to admit that they knew. If the choice is between believing Israeli intelligence and the AP, I’m going to go with the Israeli intelligence.
...But let’s recall the way that they responded during the BLM/Antifa riots, with millions of dollars in property destruction.
Suddenly they realized that property destruction does matter — when it’s their own. But the destruction of the property of Americans apparently didn’t matter, when the AP had no problem with the ideology of those doing the destruction...Read all.
