After the Palm Beach airport was renamed the Donald J. Trump International Airport, United Airlines is offering their customers who now refuse to step foot in the thoroughfare a chance to switch their flights.

Fox Business reported that passengers who want to avoid the President Donald J. Trump International Airport — previously called the Palm Beach International Airport — can move their flights to Fort Lauderdale or Miami.

They will not even have to pay a fee for transferring their flight plans.

“If a customer does not want to fly to the airport, use your empowerment to offer acceptable alternatives such as Fort Lauderdale

Self-Proclaimed Queer Priest Blasts Trump in Award Reception Speech

By Michael Austin August 8, 2026 at 5:30am

After a self-described queer Roman Catholic theology professor received an award, he used his speech to bash the Trump administration and commend “gendered and sexual diversity.”

Fr. Bryan Massingale, a priest with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and a professor at Fordham University, received the John Courtney Murray Award from the Catholic Theological Society of America in June.

In his speech at the award ceremony, which was published on July 14 by the Jesuit site Outreach, Massingale noted that his book “Racial Justice and the Catholic Church” was removed from the U.S. Naval Academy.

“Why? Because that work is in direct opposition to the idolatrous ideology of white so-called ‘Christian’ nationalism that is the heart of the immoral projects being advanced by our nation's administration,” he proclaimed.

Report: Muslim Brotherhood, US-Designated Terror Organization, Celebrates Abdul El-Sayed Primary Win Through Its Media Outlet

It seems like Abdul El-Sayed is racking up a ton of endorsements after his win in the Michigan Democratic senatorial primary this week. Some of them, however, he might not be touting too loudly on his campaign page.

This includes a fawning write-up in Ikhwan Online, an official media outlet of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to a report from Michigan-based online conservative outlet The Midwesterner.

The move comes after numerous groups raised questions about ties between El-Sayed’s campaign and Brotherhood-linked organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood, which originated in

Persecution of Egyptian Christians Continues in Series of Recent Incidents

By Ben Zeisloft August 8, 2026 at 6:00am

A recent series of attacks on Christians prompted attention from believers around the world, as well as a response from the U.S. State Department.

Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, a Muslim who became a Christian, has especially provoked concern around the world due to his imprisonment, per Fox News.

Raymond Ibrahim, a historian who writes frequently on the Islamic world, noted that Abdelrazek “endured years of harassment, detention, and abuse” after becoming a Christian in 2016.

“On April 13, prosecutors referred him to a terrorism court, while his lawyers were denied access to the case file,” Ibrahim wrote.

“He remains imprisoned, with advocates reporting torture, physical abuse, denial of adequate medical care, and repeated postponements of his trial.”

Muslims Kill 30 Nigerian Christians in Latest Village Attack

By Michael Austin August 8, 2026 at 6:30am

Nigeria witnessed yet another attack against Christian villagers, with at least 30 people murdered and several others injured.

Naridon village in Kaduna state was attacked on July 26, resulting in the 30 deaths and several other injuries, per a report from PBS.

Derek Christopher, chairman of the civil society group Southern Kaduna Peace and Security Network, said that “the same community was attacked last year around this time.”

“I don’t know who these people have left to fight for them,” he added, noting that the Nigerian government has largely abandoned the area.

Megan Rapinoe Melts Down After Seeing Photo of Sophie Cunningham with Riley Gaines

By C. Douglas Golden August 8, 2026 at 6:30am

I regret to inform you that Megan Rapinoe is still around and still demanding that we pay attention to her ramblings.

Rapinoe, in case you’ve forgotten, was (emphasis on the past tense) known for two things. First, she was almost the best player on the 163rd or so most-followed sports squad in America, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team.

Every four years, we maybe sorta paid attention to her and then forgot whether they won the World Cup. (Pop quiz: Did they last time? And what year was it held? And who did they beat/lose to? If you got all that right, congratulations: You’re either woke, a soccer nerd, or just a lucky guesser.)

Second, in between the quadrennial forced feminist reeducation pageant that is the women’s World Cup, Rapinoe has carved out a career for herself as a political and social pundit, particularly around transgender participation in women’s sports.

She believes in Title IX, which she credits

Don Lemon Whines to Judge and Blames Trump in Bid to Get Indictment Thrown Out

By Joe Saunders August 8, 2026 at 10:31am

This is one spotlight Don Lemon doesn’t like a bit.

The former CNN anchor whose vicious attacks on President Donald Trump have kept him in the public eye for more than a decade is asking a judge to dismiss an indictment against him for his actions surrounding the disruption of a Minnesota church service in January.

And his reasoning? He claims he was indicted because Trump doesn’t like him.

Don Lemon asked a judge to dismiss the civil rights case against him, citing years of President Trump’s derisive comments against him.

President Donald Trump stepped in to stop a toddler from potentially wandering offstage during a Nevada event on Wednesday evening — and showed off his parenting skills in the process.

He also turned the moment into a jab at former President Joe Biden, whose relationship with balance and basic motor skills was rocky during his time in the White House.

The moment unfolded at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in Las Vegas, where Trump spoke at length.

Dad Sets TikTok Trap, Shoots Suspect Over Video of Daughter's Rape; Now Dad Faces Higher Bond Even as CSAM Found on Suspect's Phone: Authorities

By Samantha Chang August 6, 2026 at 5:51am

America’s warped judicial system is rewarding child rapists while punishing distraught parents who defend their children.

In the latest outrageous miscarriage of justice, an Ohio judge set a $100,000 bond for a father who shot a pedophile for allegedly raping his 11-year-old daughter, according to the New York Post.

By comparison, the judge set a $70,000 bond for the alleged rapist, whose assault was captured on a lurid cell phone video.

Last month, Diego Montoya Gonzalez, 20, was shot by Malik Chandler, 31, after Chandler’s wife discovered a video on their daughter’s cell phone showing the predator

'Safety Incident' Involving Helicopter Carrying Trump Sparks FAA Investigation: Report

By Jack Davis August 6, 2026 at 5:59am

A commercial jet was allowed to leave Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday at the same moment President Donald Trump's helicopter took off from the White House, sparking a federal investigation.

The Wall Street Journal called the episode a "safety incident” that took place because air traffic controllers had not halted commercial air traffic.

Federal Aviation Administration officials said the incident may have caused what is known as a loss of standard separation. Federal rules for the busy airspace near the airport require aircraft to be at least 1.5 miles apart horizontally and 500 feet vertically.

Both the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA are
