Israel's airlines will operate "special flights" for American

In spite of the obvious dangers of flying out of Israel, El Al Airlines announced on Friday that it will operate "special flights" for those Americans whose flights were canceled due to the conflict with the Iranian regime.

The airline will operate six dedicated non-stop flights from Tel Aviv to New York's JFK and Newark airports for American citizens starting March 16. The flights are in coordination with the U.S. State Department,

The available information is as follows: 

Target Audience: U.S. citizens in Israel with cancelled flights due to security conditions.
Booking/Rebooking: El Al will proactively contact passengers with cancelled tickets for rebooking.
Registration Form: All U.S. citizens looking for flights should fill out the special form at elal.com/eng/about-elal/news/special-flights-to-usa.
Alternative Options: The U.S. Embassy advises checking other carriers, as Ben Gurion Airport is open for limited commercial flights.

Americans needing assistance should also complete the U.S. Department of State crisis intake form.

"Thousands of American citizens whose flights back to the United States were canceled due to the war with Iran are currently staying in Israel," the airline wrote on X.

"As part of an arrangement between the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and EL AL, beginning March 16, we will operate six non-stop flights from Tel Aviv to New York designated exclusively for American citizens. These flights are expected to depart at full capacity, subject to Government Approvals," it added.

Thousands of American citizens are currently stranded in Israel after widespread flight disruptions and cancellations caused by the conflict.

According to the airline, the flights are being arranged in coordination with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

Officials expect the flights to depart at full capacity, pending final government approvals.

Starting Sunday morning, EL AL will begin proactively contacting American citizens who hold valid EL AL tickets whose flights were canceled and who have not yet been reassigned to other flights. Those passengers will be offered seats on the special flights at no additional cost.

At this stage, priority placement is being given to passengers who were originally holding EL AL tickets whose flights were canceled.

PLEASE NOTE:

* Registration does not guarantee placement.
* Flight schedules and eligibility criteria may change based on security and airspace developments.
* Those with existing EL AL bookings will be prioritized initially.

The airline said it is prepared to expand the number of special flights for American citizens if necessary, noting that the initial six flights will only partially address the high demand among those seeking to return to the United States.

Any expansion of the program, EL AL said, will depend on additional approvals from government authorities.

LaMonica McIver Steps Deeper Into the 'Find Out' Phase After ICE Detention Center Fiasco

Well, folks, it looks like Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is learning the hard way that actions have consequences, especially when you tangle with federal law enforcement. 

As HotAir had previously reported, McIver, along with fellow New Jersey House members Robert Menendez Jr. and Bonnie Watson Coleman, decided to play activist at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark back in May. Their mission? Some vague claim of "oversight." But their mission ended in a chaotic showdown with Newark's Democrat Mayor Ras Baraka in handcuffs and McIver staring at a federal indictment.

Local reports laid out the scene: the trio tried to breeze past the facility’s first checkpoint, only to be stopped cold. Not one to be outdone, Baraka attempted a sneaky side-entrance maneuver, which didn’t exactly win him any points with the feds. 

Things got heated like a wild train jumping the tracks, as the Democrats clashed with ICE officials. Video evidence surfaced, allegedly showing McIver getting physical with officers, which prompted the Trump administration to warn that charges could be coming. And sure enough, they weren’t kidding.

The three Dems, predictably, cried foul. Watson Coleman even let slip a damning admission, essentially confessing they were trying to shield Baraka from the consequences of his stunt. Whoops. That didn’t stop the DOJ from lowering the boom. 

On May 19, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced charges against McIver for “assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement” under Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1). McIver’s response was to call the charges “purely political,” accusing the DOJ of trying to “criminalize and deter legislative oversight.” Sure, Congresswoman, it’s all a vast conspiracy to stop your noble quest for… what, exactly?

Fast forward to Tuesday, and the hammer dropped harder. Habba revealed that a federal grand jury in Newark returned a three-count indictment against McIver for “forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers.” The potential penalties are a maximum of eight years for Count One, another eight for Count Two, and a year for Count Three. 

Habba didn’t mince words: “Today a federal grand jury seated in Newark, New Jersey returned a three-count indictment charging U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. This indictment has a maximum penalty of 8 years for Count One, an additional maximum penalty of 8 years for Count Two, and a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison for Count Three. As I have stated in the past, it is my Constitutional obligation as the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for New Jersey to ensure that our federal partners are protected when executing their duties. While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve.Today’s decision by the grand jury is the next step in a process that my Office will pursue to a just end.”

McIver, undeterred, doubled down on her defiance, issuing a statement that she “will not be intimidated” and framing the indictment as “an effort by Trump’s administration to dodge accountability for the chaos ICE caused and scare me out of doing the work I was elected to do.” 

“This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/C0aZyrnNx8”— Rep. LaMonica McIver (@RepLaMonica) June 10, 2025

Sorry, Rep. McIver, but the “Trump’s out to get me” card doesn’t quite cover allegedly putting hands on ICE officers. Welcome to the “no one is above the law” reality show, Trump edition. You’ve officially graduated to the Find Out phase.

Hey guys, if you like my blog,  feel free to toss a virtual coffee my way on Buy Me a Coffee  It’s like a high-five with caffeine, and coffee keeps me focused, albeit somewhat hyper. No pressure, it's your call.

NJ home commandeered by crazy 'sovereign citizens of Al Moroccan Empire'

Huber A. John

Four so-called "sovereign citizens of the Al Moroccan Empire" commandeered a private home in New Jersey and claimed it to be theirs based on bull crap they made up to avoid having to earn anything.

Huber A. John, 39, was arrested on June 17th, charged with criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespass and terrorist threats after he allegedly took over the vacant home in Newark, NJ along with three other useless cohorts, as stated Tuesday by the Newark Department of Public Safety.

The homeowner reported a burglary on June 17 at her vacant property on Ivy Street--the locks had been changed and she reported to authorities that "four males that she did not know were claiming to have legal residency of her vacant property and had changed the locks."

Police said the female went to the dwelling with a locksmith, but they were detained by the strangers, "who presented paperwork indicating they held legal residency." The ink was still wet on the documents one might imagine.

Officers who arrived on the scene confirmed that the victim bought the home in February 2021. The home was vacant and she was preparing to renovate it, police said.

"Police requested the documentation from the four suspects, who claimed to be sovereign citizens of the Al Moroccan Empire [booga-booga] and that their status permitted them access to the property," police said.

The four interlopers obeyed police officers' orders and left the property but soon after, at 2:40 p.m., John returned, like a rash you know the doctor should see, and was able to get back inside before the victim was able to have the locks changed.

John, who is originally from the Empire of Los Angeles, in the land of California, "used a key and entered the home before placing a Moorish flag in the window," police said.

"The Newark Police SWAT team was deployed because the suspect refused to leave and was claiming that he was rightfully in possession of the home," Director of Public Safety Brian O'Hara told PEOPLE. "The suspect was essentially a squatter in a vacant home who had the locks changed."

According to the far-Left Southern Poverty Law Center,  an organization that isn't about poverty, nor law, "Members of the Moorish sovereigns, called Moors, have come into conflict with federal and state authorities over their refusal to obey laws and government regulations ... Moorish sovereigns espouse an interpretation of sovereign doctrine that African Americans constitute an elite class within American society with special rights and privileges that convey on them a sovereign immunity placing them beyond federal and state authority." 

[Pro Tip: People from Los Angeles are not Moorish sovereigns, so don't believe them.]

John was ultimately taken into custody without incident and hopefully will one day find a home he can call his own by paying for it.

According to the PEOPLE report, the legitimate owner of the home chronicled the experience in a series of TikTok videos, telling viewers in one: "I was randomly but not randomly targeted by a terrorist group that doesn't solve or follow any of our rules, and would be violent in efforts to steal my house."

Cory 'Spartacus' Booker gets his ties on Wall Street

When Cory Booker jumped into the 2020 presidential race with his dramatic bug-eyed announcement on Friday, he promised to build his campaign the “right way,” by forgoing money from corporate political action committees and federal lobbyists.

But Spartacus' previous ties to Wall Street, the millions of dollars he accepted in donations from Wall Street companies and his defense of Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital in 2012, may bite him on the buns.

“I’m not about to sit here and indict private equity,” he said as he sat there during a "Meet the Press" interview back when he was the failed mayor of Newark, N.J. At the time, Obama’s presidential campaign was attacking Romney, who ultimately lost, in an ad describing him as someone who, in a fake Robin Hood reversal “takes from the poor and the middle class and gives to the rich.”

Booker subsequently changed tack and waffled on his position, blasting GOP efforts to take advantage of his statements and reaffirming his support for Obama, saying the president’s campaign had a right to scrutinize Romney’s characterization of himself as a job creator, which, of course he was.

And in the Senate, he opposed a compromise bill passed last year rolling back some of the restrictions on Wall Street imposed under the Dodd-Frank reform law in 2010.

“In the wake of the greed- and excess-fueled financial crisis, big banks got a massive bailout while millions of Americans lost their homes,” he said in March. “We shouldn’t be weakening the very safeguards put in place to prevent such a catastrophe from repeating itself.”

But low and behold, the finance industry contributed $2.8 million to Booker’s Senate campaign in 2014, with many of the largest donations coming from employees of three of the country’s biggest banks, according to records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Workers at Goldman Sachs gave his campaign $80,400, compared with $78,120 from employees of Morgan Stanley and $64,582 from employees of JPMorgan Chase.

Law firms with major securities-industry practices gave the warrior Spartacus even more: Attorneys at Paul Weiss chipped in $177,020 while their peers at Sullivan & Cromwell donated $137,950.

Booker’s haul, which has already drawn scrutiny from envious progressives, far outstripped the industry’s contributions to any of his Democratic peers campaigning to move from the Senate to the White House in 2020.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, whose state is home to the headquarters of banks from Goldman to Citigroup, garnered only $1.15 million from the industry in her 2018 race. This is due, in part, to her inability to remain loyal to any one issue. She is like a weather vane and will go anywhere the wind blows.

Sen. Kamala Harris of California drew only $727,674 from Wall Street in her 2016 campaign, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts received just $355,271 in her re-election campaign last fall.

Booker had been mayor of Newark, New Jersey from 2006 to 2013. He was handed a poor, crime ridden city, and his solution was to eventually reduce the size of the police force, because liberals think backwards. Democrats have been elected to mayor of Newark consistently since 1953.

After Booker was elected, millions of dollars of private and public partnerships investment poured into Newark for Downtown development, but persistent underemployment and poverty was still an ongoing problem.

In 2008, the murder rate climbed by 30 percent according to the New York Times . It had dropped by that amount the previous year and made a bloody comeback with Spartacus in charge.

As of 2010, about 33 percent of the population was impoverished. That year, about two-thirds of voters age 18 and up, were registered Democrats, voting for the smoke and mirror promises made by that party.

Data from 2010 by the U.S. Census Bureau as reported in NJ.com describes Newark as the third poorest of 35 poorest towns in the state. The median income in Newark is $33,025 and a 29.1 below poverty level, [with the latest level slightly higher]. Camden only follows Atlantic City [$26,656 and median poverty level 36.6] and Camden [$26,214 and median poverty level 38.4] as the poorest city in the state.

In 2012, CNN Money rated Newark as America's 6th most dangerous city.

And Cory Booker wants to be president when he can't even figure out how to improve a city.

Mass. couple say gas station attack was racially motivated

You're pumping gas in a Virginia station and suddenly a woman attacks you with a hammer. The only crime you committed was allowing yourself to be born white. That's what happened to an Uxbridge, Massachusetts couple when they stopped for gas on their way home from Florida.

Bob and Kathy--who asked FOX25 to only use their first names--were attacked by a random black woman who shouted slurs at them and attacked Bob with a hammer as his wife was inside the station getting coffee when the attack occurred. 

"She ran over to me, and started to come towards me. She looked at me and said, 'I'm sick of you white [expletives],'" Kathy said.

"I hear this lady, 2 pump islands over yelling something about a message. I'm like I don't know who she's talking to," Bob said.

She then approached him and began attacking him, scratching at his face and hitting him with the hammer.

"A young black woman gets in my face and starts yelling, you got a message for me, you got a message for me with your fancy car and fancy boat," Bob said. "She's punching at me, she's spitting."

The result was that Bob received serious facial wounds and a bloody leg. The attack occurred in Rutherglen, Virginia and he believes it was racially motivated.

"Her hand came up, my glasses go flying, she was starting to scratch the hell out of my face," he added.

A bystander took a photo of the woman's car and plate and she has been identified as 26-year-old Angela Jones of Newark, New Jersey. An arrest warrant has been issued for the racist Jones, but she remains at large.

White lives also matter.

Gee, I wonder if MSNBC, CNN and the other mainstream outlets covered this story.

DNC head calls Trump a bully who lost election

He never learned how to tie a tie but he sure knows how to holler. Democratic National Chairscreamer Tom Perez yelled at New Jersey liberals screaming that Donald Trump "didn't win the election." 

Actually, if you go to the video tape, you will notice that it was Donald Trump indeed, who beat Perez's fellow screamer, Hillary Clinton. She lost t he election by "a lot" of electoral votes. Hillary's California win put her over the top in popular votes but that isn't how the United States determines the election win. So she lost. Trump win. Case closed.

Perez also suggested to the choir that President Trump doesn't care about voters, which is why he is doing, or at least attempting to do, that which he promised to the voters.

If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Period. Hmm.

Perez, who was Labor secretary under Obama, is clearly taking the left in a battle with the Trump administration, and is trying his doggone best to sound like 'The Donald.' But instead, he sounds like Hillary Clinton with small testicles.

Rather than using his title, Perez said, "Donald Trump, you don't understand our values. You didn't win the election."

I must repeat myself--he won, you lost, get on with your miserable, petty life, you ugly bald-headed loser. Since Obama screwed the pooch starting in 2010, the Democrats lost the House, then the Senate, and now, yes now, the White House. Trump won.

Beating Hillary Clinton really hurt the Democrats emotionally--they even were able to get some of the questions for the presidential debate from Donna Brazile and still Hillary lost. Perhaps it had more to do with how much the country distrusted her, thought her incompetent, sneaky and had no actual platform. 

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (Duh-FL) resigned after Trump was victorious and won the election [Perez]. It was also revealed that Wasserman-Schultz was in the bag for Clinton and wanted to do whatever it took to defeat the socialist Sanders.

"We have a bully in Washington in the White House," Perez told the Newark crowd who previously didn't know the White House was in Washington.

One thing for sure is that Tom Perez is no bully to the banks. Under Obama he was quite friendly to them just like Hillary was to Wall Street. If Trump is a bully to the banks, that's more in line with Perez than Perez being in line with his party.
