And the idiot award of the month goes to.….

A Sunwing Airlines flight bound for of all places the mecca of communism, Cayo Coco Cuba, had to return to Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport on Thursday while sporting US fighter jet escorts due to an unruly passenger making non-specific threats.
US Norad Region spokesperson confirmed that two US Air Force F-15 fighter jets, operating out of Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield, Massachusetts, scrambled to intercept the Sunwing flight near Albany, New York. Then they proceeded to escort it back to Montreal. Two Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18s from Canadian Forces Base Bagotville, in Quebec, monitored the situation from a distance, while the two US Air Force jets intercepted the flight, but steered clear of intercepting the Sunwing flight themselves.
The passenger who has been identified as 39-year-old Charalabus ‘Bobby’ Nassios by CTV Montreal, allegedly started issuing threats in mid-flight.

It appears the threats were made after Nassios seems to have had some type of meltdown at the airport before departure. He seems to have shared a series of very bizarre and awkward Facebook posts with his online friends before boarding the plane. He is scheduled to go in front of a judge on Thursday.

Procedures for interception of civilian aircraft in real life

There is a set of standard procedures defined by ICAO that includes radio communication and visual signals both for night and day. There are procedures both for the intercepting aircraft and for the intercepted aircraft. These are defined in annex 2 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Rules of the air, and are repeated in the Aeronautical information publication (AIP) for each country in section ENR 1.12, Interception of civilian aircraft. Note that there might be some national differences.

Intercepting aircraft

The intercepting aircraft should try to contact the intercepted aircraft using 121.5 MHz, using the call signs Interceptor, Intercepted aircraft and Intercept control. If that fails the intercepting aircraft should try the ATC frequencies or try to contact the intercepted aircraft through the ATC.

Interception maneuvers for visual identification are split into three phases.

Phase I: The intercepting aircraft moves up on the intercepted aircraft to about 300 meters distance from behind and slightly above. The flight leader or lone intercepting aircraft take a position slightly ahead, above and normally to the left of the intercepted aircraft (or to the right if the intercepted aircraft is a helicopter) while maintaining a distance of about 300 meters.

Phase II: The flight leader or lone intercepting aircraft gently move in close enough to identify the intercepted aircraft type and identity and get other information required, while the rest of the intercepting aircraft continues to stay well clear of the intercepted aircraft.

Phase III: The flight leader or lone intercepting aircraft gently brakes away from the intercepted aircraft in a shallow dive, while the rest of the intercepting aircraft continues to stay well clear of the intercepted aircraft till they can rejoin the flight leader.

The G-20 Summit is coming to an end after a hard working week. President Trump, President Vladimir Putin, Chancellor Angela Merkel, and new French President Emmanuel Macron were among the most prominent world leaders who attended. First Lady Melania Trump turned heads when she sat down next to President Vladimir Putin at a banquet on Friday in Hamburg, Germany.

The First Lady speaks several languages one of which is German which the Russian President speaks. They were strategically placed next to each other because they could communicate with one another. The dinner went well as you could see them laughing and smiling with one another.
President Trump sat next to Juliana Awada away from his wife who was next to Putin. Awada is the wife of Argentina’s president who attended the summit. Those across from the table from President Trump included Chinese President Xi Jinping and Brigitte Macron who is the wife of the French president.

Writer Nikki Schwartz from the Daily Mail said,

“With the day’s business out of the way, the leaders enjoyed a concert and then a Friday night dinner, in which couples were split up and not seated with their spouses. That’s how Melania Trump ended up next to Putin. The first lady, who grew up in Slovenia, then a part of Yugoslavia, knows several languages including German, which the Russian president also speaks.

The dinner took place after German Chancellor Angela Merkel treated her G20 guests to Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th Symphony hoping to spread her vision with ‘a hymn to humanity, peace and international understanding’.

Questions had been raised about how realistic a vision that is with Putin, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Trump all on hand.
The last portion of the symphony is the EU’s official anthem.

There were concerns before the performance that Trump might dip out of the show, performed at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, given the American president’s feeling towards symphonies.

Trump wrote in his 2004 book ‘How to Get Rich’ that he knows little about classical music, preferring instead the likes of Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith.”

Prior to the banquet Putin and Trump had met face to face to discuss relations between our countries and issues such as arms deals, NATO, and Ukraine. They spoke one on one for over two hours in a private room. During this conversation, Trump brought up the Russian interference in our 2016 presidential election. However, Putin flat out denied it.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson commented on the exchange saying the following,

“They had a very robust and lengthy exchange on the subject. The president pressed President Putin on more than one occasion regarding Russian involvement. President Putin denied such involvement, as I think he has in the past.”

During the conversation, President Trump and President Putin struck a deal and make an agreement for a ceasefire in Syria where Civil War has broken out. It was specifically in the region of southwest Syria. This will be the first U.S.-Russian pact under the Trump administration to aid in quelling the six-year civil war. It will take effect on Sunday, a speech reported by Jordanian government officials and U.S. officials.
The Telegraph reported the following about the exchange between the two leaders,

“The President’s wife Melania has also been called upon by the US delegation, after it emerged she was sent in to Mr Trump’s lengthy one-on-one meeting with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to try to wind up their conversation.

Mr Trump spent 2hrs 16mins with President Putin on Friday, and Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State, disclosed that presidential aides became exasperated that the President was allowing it to overrun for so long. Slots of 30 minutes are usually allotted for each bilateral meeting.”

This has to be the feel-good story of the week!

I think now I have seen it all. A white newspaper “fake news” reporter from Missouri has set off a barrage of controversy after he published a fake opinion piece last month attacking Missouri sheriff’s deputies for pulling him over after he made multiple traffic violations.
According to Bill Clark’s column, he was pulled over for failing to signal at a stop sign, which he does often. That in its self is not news, but since the mainstream media now makes up news we all can imagine what happened next. Clark went on to write that he was lucky he didn’t get shot and that his very life seemed to be in danger during the traffic stop. He then continued on to write that he now feels like he fully understands what minorities go through when stopped by police. Huh?
Clark’s Collum:

Ol’ Clark has run-in with the law

After over three million miles of driving and using my turn signals religiously, Ol’ Clark was pulled over for not signaling a right turn, giving me a chance to better understand how minority motorists feel when they are pulled over for the most trivial reason, or no reason at all.
Here’s Ol’ Clark’s story.

The intersection of Grace Lane and Lake of the Woods Road carries a heavy traffic load to major subdivisions all the way south to highway 63. Cars on Grace Lane can go either left or right at Lake of the Woods, where traffic does not stop. It can be a very dangerous corner.

On one recent evening, I left my gym half a block south of the intersection and, upon reaching the stop sign, I stopped and remarked to myself that I couldn’t believe there was no traffic in either direction. There was only a car a block behind me.

My stop had been total, not rolling. I turned right and headed toward Interstate 70. Within 100 yards, red lights flashed behind me, seeming to come from nowhere. I pulled over to allow an emergency vehicle to pass, stopping in the intersection with Bull Run Drive. Then I realized the lights were for me.

I was now blocking traffic onto Bull Run, so I rolled slowly forward to a shoulder wide enough for both vehicles. The move made sense.

Wrong move!

I’m lucky I didn’t get shot. Sirens wailed and when I stopped, two officers were out of the sheriff’s vehicle. When I reached over to turn off the radio and then take my wallet out of my pocket to produce the driver’s license and insurance card, I realized my hands were not at the top of my steering wheel. Danger lurked and official arrogance was to follow.

I had no idea why I had been stopped. I rolled down the window and when the sheriff’s deputy approached, my question was, “Why am I being stopped?”

“Because you didn’t use your turn signal back at Grace Lane.” And she added, “And you don’t move your vehicle when we stop you.”

“Hey, I was blocking a major intersection because I thought you were an emergency vehicle and traffic couldn’t move.” No answer.

After surrendering my license and insurance card, here came the lecture while the second officer stood guard. Then I asked the question: “I normally am very good about using my turn signal,” I said, realizing that the deputy had probably heard that excuse too many times before. “Tell me, just how did that infraction interfere with the flow of traffic since there was no one except you behind me? How did I endanger others? What did I do to compromise the safety of others and the flow of traffic?”

The Obama administration was never a presidential administration, it was a crime syndicate!

The former Obama administration Attorney General and racist attack dog, Loretta Lynch, testified last year as to how she came to the partisan decision to not prosecute then Democrat candidate Crooked Hillary Clinton for her mishandling of classified emails when she was Secretary of State. Although she said under oath that she never spoke to anyone on the Clinton team she conveniently forgot to mention her so-called chance meeting with former President Bill “sexual predator” Clinton on the tarmac of the Pheonix airport. Bill Clinton didn’t earn the nickname “Slick Willie” for nothing when he was Governor of Arkansas.
What makes matters worse for Lynch is that now the House Committee is investigating her conduct after ousted FBI Director James Comey publicly, and under oath, stated that she tried to actively influence the way he discussed and referred to the email probe. He told him to call the investigation a “matter” rather than to say the truth, which was that is was a full blown investigation.

Ousted FBI Director James Comey had previously told legislatures that he “struggled” on how to handle the email probe because a large number of things that had gone on at the same time. He added that that fact made him worry that Justice Department could not credibly complete the Clinton investigation and would decline prosecution dealing serious damage to the American people’s trust in the American justice system.

Fox News Reports:

Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Sunday said she “regretted” her controversial tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton this summer while the FBI was still investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a secret server for her emails during her tenure as secretary of state.
While Lynch has never portrayed the June 27 Phoenix meeting as anything other than a cordial encounter, the lengthy tete-a-tete onboard Lynch’s plane immediately raised questions about whether she – or the Justice Department – could be impartial in the Hillary Clinton investigation. Just days later, FBI Director James Comey called Hillary Clinton’s actions “extremely careless” but declined to recommend charges.

“I wish I had seen around that corner and not had that discussion with the former president, as innocuous as it was, because it did give people concern,” Lynch said on “State of the Union.” “It did make people wonder, ‘Is it going to affect the investigation that’s going on?’ and that’s not something that was an unreasonable question for anyone to ask.”

Asked why Clinton sought out the meeting with Lynch, the outgoing attorney general declined to speculate.

“Well, I can’t say what President Clinton saw or thought because I wasn’t in communication with him before that,” Lynch said. “I don’t know what was in his mind.”

Lynch played off the length of the conversation – reported to be around 45 minutes – as being a by-product of Clinton’s loquaciousness. She joked with host Jake Tapper that Clinton “is a talker.”

“And our conversation went on a lot longer certainly than I had anticipated, because it was just going to be ‘Hello, how are you?’ and everyone was just going to go on about their evening,” Lynch said.

But Lynch acknowledged the perception created by the private summit was a problem. Republicans frequently brought up the meeting and President-elect Donald Trump made it a staple of his stump speech as the November presidential election approached.

“I do regret sitting down and having a conversation with him because it did give people concern,” Lynch said. “And as I said, my greatest concern has always been making sure people understand the Department of Justice works in a way that’s independent and looks at everybody equally. And when you do something that gives people a reason to think differently, that’s a problem. It’s a problem for me. It was painful for me.”

Three days after the meetings, amid mounting questions, Lynch tried to take herself out of the equation, saying on July 1 that she would accept whatever recommendation career prosecutors and Comey made regarding bringing charges.
Let’s not be naive here folks. Anyone who is over the age of 5 can clearly see James Comey was about to indict Killary Clinton. This would end her political career on the spot. But instead, the pervert that is the former beloved President of the left Bill Clinton met with Lynch in what was a planned meeting on that tarmac in Pheonix. It’s pretty obvious that BJ Clinton then offered this hack the bribe that she could stay in as attorney general after Cackles Clinton won if she made the whole investigation go away. Hense why Lynch then ordered Comey to watch his language when referring to the Clinton probe.
