“Plane Was Nosediving”: United Airlines Boeing 737 Engine Erupts In Flames Over Texas
Dramatic footage shared on social media platform X shows the moment a United Airlines’ Boeing 737 from Houston to Fort Myers had to declare an emergency just minutes into its flight after flames erupted from one of its engines.
?? BOEING SUFFERS ANOTHER MID-AIR ENGINE FIRE
The United Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing in Texas minutes after take-off when flames began shooting from one of its engines.

“I remember there was just this bright, flashing light that came through the window, and it sounded like a bomb went off, and then it was just a strobe of fire out the window,” David Gruninger, who was on his way back to Florida on a connecting flight, told local media outlet ABC 13.
According to the flight tracking website FlightAware, Flight 1118, with 167 passengers on board, took off from George Bush Intercontinental Airport at 6:40 pm local time. Just minutes after takeoff, the plane returned to the airport because of the engine issue.
“The plane was nosediving, and the pilot was bringing the plane back up,” passenger Elliot Trexler said, adding, “The plane was also rocking back and forth a lot.”
“And then it just turned into chaos. People were screaming and crying and trying to figure out what was going on,” Gruninger said.
Radio transmission from the pilots described “our left engine, our number one engine,” experienced an issue while climbing through about 10,000 feet.
The plane trip from hell lasted about 33 minutes after takeoff. Pilots landed safely around 7:31 local time—United credited passengers with $200 and a $15 meal voucher.
This adds to the incompetency crisis plaguing Boeing jets following the door plug that ripped off an Alaska Flight 1282 Boeing 737 Max 9 plane earlier this year. The Federal Aviation Administration’s audit of the incident revealed that Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems have “failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements.”
“The incompetency crisis continues as diversifying the flight industry moves full speed ahead,” one X user said.

Doctors Offices Are Now Charging Administrative Fees
As if the cost of healthcare rising wasn’t enough on its own, some doctors offices are now charging their patients for administrative tasks, according to a new report from Fox News.
Doctors say administrative tasks are “taking more time away from patient care”, according to the article, which they say hurts their bottom line.
Medical experts informed FOX Business that some are now charging patients for services such as email consultations and additional paperwork, aiming to offset losses from decreased in-person visits.
Robert Pearl, a former CEO of Permanente Medical Group and Stanford University professor, told Fox News that doctors often apply a concierge fee for such access to medical care, a trend gaining momentum as patients sidestep office visits due to fears of escalating out-of-pocket expenses.
Moreover, PwC researchers project a significant 7% surge in health care costs in 2024, marking the most substantial increase in a decade, according to Pearl.
Pearl said: “You find yourself saying, ‘Oh my gosh, if I see the doctor, I got to pay $300, $400, $500. I can’t afford that. Let me send an email.”
“Ultimately, the economics are driving a change that’s basically sapping more and more of the doctor’s time,” he added.
The National Patient Advocate Foundation (NPAF) expresses concern that such measures will further complicate access to care for some patients, the report says.
NPAF spokesperson Caitlin Donovan said: “There’s going to ultimately be people who say, ‘I’m not going to reach out to my doctor because I don’t want to get charged for this.”
“We want there to be trust between the patient and the provider going both ways because that means that there’s going to be better outcomes,” she said.
Pearl responded: “They don’t have enough time to do the job they’re required to do. And this is an opportunity to say, ‘OK, well, if I have to fill out all these forms, I better charge for them, because if I don’t charge for them, I have even less time with my family or to do the activities that I needed in my particular life.’”
Both parties think that AI could wind up leading to the solution.

Farmers clash with police in Warsaw
Protesting farmers clashed with police in Poland’s capital on Wednesday, in a row over grain supplies from Ukraine.
The farmers and their supporters gathered outside the prime minister’s office in Warsaw and marched towards parliament, where they were met by riot police.
Protesters threw rocks and firecrackers at the officers, who responded with pepper spray, tear gas and stun grenades. Sporadic fighting broke out, with police using batons to push back the angry farmers.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said 23 “provocateurs” were detained on Wednesday. A total of 13 officers were injured, including one who suffered a “serious” head trauma, Warsaw Police wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Around 30,000 people took part in the protest, according to city hall spokeswoman Monika Beuth. Inspector Robert Szumiata said that although the protest was initially “overwhelmingly peaceful,” there were “groups of people who only sought to confront the police.”

The farmers took to the streets to denounce EU ‘Green Deal’ laws aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change.
“These are absurd regulations that farmers must conform to, which will only make the situation worse and raise production costs and product prices,” one activist told AFP news agency.
Polish farmers have also been blocking checkpoints at the border with Ukraine, arguing that imports of cheap grain and other produce are killing their businesses.
Kiev has denied that Ukrainian grain is being sold in Poland, and has accused the protesters of hurting the Ukrainian economy during its armed conflict with Russia. The blockades “went beyond both economics and morality long ago,”Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said on Sunday.
Ukrainian officials have also claimed that Russia was influencing the protesters in order to damage Kiev’s ties with Poland. Moscow has denied any involvement.

German MP Calls For Attack on Government Buildings In Moscow
Russia’s Ministry of Defense building or the HQ of the country’s intelligence service in central Moscow are legitimate targets that should be attacked, the deputy chairman of the German parliament’s oversight committee, Roderich Kiesewetter, has stated.
The lawmaker, who is a former German Army (Bundeswehr) general staff officer, insisted that Ukraine should take the war to Russia.
“Ukraine should be given the opportunity to take the war to the Russian territory,”Kiesewetter told a talk show on state broadcaster ZDF, noting that Defense Minister Boris Pistorius had already called for the same in April 2023.
“The only thing I will add from my side is that it is also necessary to attack the Russian Ministry of Defense or the intelligence service,” the MP said. “It is absolutely clear that this is not about civilian targets and not about the people, but about explaining to the Russian population that they are the aggressors,” he added.
When asked by the host of the show whether Kiesewetter thought that the attack on Moscow would be rational, the politician responded that those were Pistorius’ words.
“To attack Moscow with Taurus missiles?” the host asked. “No… now you are putting words into my mouth. No, if, within the framework of the agreement, we oblige Ukraine to use missiles only in the occupied territories, then they will act according to this principle,” Kiesewetter argued.
The calls for attack on Russian government buildings come amid the latest diplomatic row between Moscow and Berlin, following the leak of an audio recording in which German military officers discussed a potential attack on the Crimean Bridge.
Alarm Bells For The U.S. Food Supply
How much more are you spending on food each month compared to two or three years ago? In recent years, our leaders have been flooding the system with money at the same time that global supplies of food have been getting tighter and tighter. On the other side of the world, hundreds of millions of people do not have enough food to eat on a regular basis and children are literally dropping dead from starvation. Here in the United States, nobody is dropping dead from starvation, but demand at food banks is absolutely exploding as U.S. households struggle to deal with how oppressively expensive groceries have become. Unfortunately, things are about to get even worse.
Right now, the largest fire in the entire history of Texas continues to rage out of control…
The biggest inferno in Texas history is being fueled by winds and high temperatures as it rages Sunday, threatening to incinerate more buildings, cattle and livelihoods across the Texas Panhandle while residents sift through ashes of what used to be homes.
Critical fire weather conditions were expected to continue Sunday in the area, with strengthening winds gusting to 50 mph and dry conditions combining to set the stage for rapid wildfire spread, the National Weather Service warned.
The Smokehouse Creek Fire has been burning for nearly a week and has torched more than 1 million acres in Texas alone, making it the largest fire on record in the state – and it is only 15% contained.
With each passing hour, even more cattle are being engulfed by the fires.
Nobody knows for sure how many have been killed so far.
Most news reports that I have seen say that it is “thousands”…
The largest wildfire in Texas history has devastated the state’s agriculture, blazing through more than 1 million acres of land in the Panhandle, killing thousands of livestock, destroying crops and gutting infrastructure.
The agriculture industry, a big driver of the state’s economy, was already facing pressures from prolonged and widespread drought that forced ranchers to manage smaller herds, contributing to a decrease in beef production nationally. The series of wildfires in the Panhandle this week is another blow as many ranchers tried to rebuild their herds and operations during the cooler months of the year.
What will the final death toll be?
According to Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, there are more than 10 million head of livestock in the region…
State Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told The New York Times that the Panhandle is home to roughly 85% of Texas’s cattle herds.
The region supports over 10 million head of livestock. Most of the cattle are kept in feedlots and dairy farms as farmers and ranchers attempt to shield their herds from the wildfires, Miller said.
“There are millions of cattle out there, with some towns comprising more cattle than people,” Miller told The Wall Street Journal.
Even before this disaster erupted, supplies of beef were really tight.
At this point, the size of the U.S. cattle herd is the smallest since 1951, and the size of the Canadian cattle herd is the smallest in 30 years…
Canada is the next nation to report a multi-decade low cattle herd.
At the beginning of the year, the USDA reported the lowest total U.S. head since 1951 at a little more than 87 million.
Now, Statistics Canada is reporting the Canadian cattle herd is at its lowest level in more than 30 years, totaling just 11 million cattle and calves on farms.
And even without the tragedy in Texas, we were already being warned that the U.S. cattle herd would get even smaller this year because we are looking at the “smallest beef calf crop since 1948”…
But that supply of feeder cattle will likely tighten during the rest of this year. The smallest beef calf crop since 1948, brought on by drought and high feed prices and the contraction of the beef cow herd, along with a significant decrease in replacement beef heifers, means that there won’t be as many cattle to put in feedlots to replace those going out.
Beef is now considered to be a “luxury meat”, and prices are only going to go higher throughout the remainder of 2024.
So if you enjoy beef, I would stock up now.
Of course it isn’t just beef that is going to become more expensive.
All over the western world, “green policies” are making things extremely challenging for farmers and ranchers.
During a recent appearance on Fox News, one industry insider warned that more U.S. farmers are going out of business “every day”…
While nationwide organizations like the FFA are going strong and statewide affairs like the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show and Iowa State Fair continue to draw exhibitors and guests alike, beneath the surface are troubling signs, two guests on “The Ingraham Angle” warned this week.
Globalist “green” policies as well as inflation and rising costs have led to thinner herds, and in some instances, foreclosure or shuttering of farms altogether, bringing with them a potential domestic food crisis, they said.
“Farmers are going out of business every day,” said John Boyd Jr., founder of the Black Farmers of America.
We have already seen farmers engage in wild protests all over Europe, and it is probably just a matter of time before we see similar protests here in the United States.
But even if government control freaks left our farmers alone, they would still have to deal with weather patterns that have gone completely nuts.
For example, this weekend an absolutely massive blizzard dumped up to 12 feet of snow on some parts of California, and wind gusts in some areas actually reached 190 miles per hour…
Hundreds of miles of California highways remained shut down Sunday as a powerful blizzard pounded parts of the Golden State and Mountain West with snow totals that could reach 12 feet amid howling winds with gusts that hit 190 mph − well above the 157 mph threshold for a Category 5 hurricane.
National Weather Service meteorologist William Churchill warned of “life-threatening concern” for residents near Lake Tahoe, calling the storm, now in its third day, an “extreme blizzard.” Areas of Nevada, Utah and Colorado were also affected.
“Moderate to heavy snow has persisted overnight across the northern Sierra Nevada,” the National Weather Service in Sacramento said in a social media post Sunday. “Wind gusts … are continuing to result in blizzard conditions.”
As I sit here, I am having a hard time even imagining what a blizzard with 190 mph winds would look like.
I cannot remember anything like this ever happening before.
But the truth is that weird storms like this will be the new normal.
Weather patterns all over the globe are breaking records, and that is making it really difficult for farmers and ranchers to do their jobs.
We have entered a time when a confluence of factors is creating a “perfect storm” for global food production, and global hunger has been steadily on the rise since 2015.
Sadly, the outlook for the years ahead is exceedingly bleak. The amount of food that will be produced won’t even be close to what is needed to feed everyone on the planet, and so there will be a mad scramble for whatever is available.
