Blue Angels, Thunderbirds to fly over NYC in honor of coronavirus workers

Frontline workers fighting the coronavirus are getting a shout-out from angels up above. The US Navy’s Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds will roar above the New York Metropolitan area on Tuesday in tribute to workers fighting to stem the spread of the deadly COVID-19 bug in, according to news reports. Dubbed “Operation American Strong,” the demonstration will take the world-renowned stunt jet teams on a nationwide tour that will start over the Big Apple and wrap up in Texas, Air Force Magazine reported Sunday.

“We’re excited to fly over cities across American as our way of saying thanks to the healthcare workers, first responders, and all the people who selflessly run into the breach working to keep American strong,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein and Navy Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday said in a joint statement, the magazine reported. “This is also our way of showing that we are all in this together and that America’s spirit will prevail,” the statement said.

The flyovers will kick off over New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania on Tuesday, WOBM Radio reported. The jets will be over the Big Apple and Newark around noon, over Trenton at 1:45 p.m., and over Philadelphia around 2 p.m., the station said. The Pentagon announced the airborne tribute last week, calling it “a sincere thank you” to those on the front line of the pandemic.

The Thunderbirds have already flown at least two tribute flights this month — over Colorado and Las Vegas. The Air Force demonstration squad was formed in 1953, the Thunderbirds website said. The Blue Angels were formed 74 years ago by Navy Adm. Chester Nimitz in the wake of World War II, according to the team’s website.

Politico Quietly Updates Article After Claiming Trump Currently ‘Owes’ Millions To Bank Of China

Politico quietly updated a story after first claiming that President Donald Trump currently “owes millions to the Bank of China” Friday. The publication posted an article Friday suggesting President Donald Trump currently “owes” millions of dollars to the Bank of China, adding that “the loan is due soon.” Politico was forced to quietly edit its story after it was determined that Trump apparently did not currently owe the Bank of China millions of dollars.

The publication updated the article, but did not admit that it may have bungled the story and did not retract its story. “This article and headline were updated to include comment from the Bank of China and additional reporting,” Politico wrote in its updated article. “After the first version of this article was published, the Bank of China issued a statement Friday evening stating that it sold its debt on the building weeks after the 2012 loan on the property,” Politico’s current article admits. “Vornado Realty Trust owns 70 percent of the building.”

Politico’s headline now reads that Trump “owed” – past tense – money to the Bank of China. It now includes an important note from the Bank of China as well. “‘On November 7, 2012 several financial institutions including the Bank of China participated in a commercial mortgage loan of $950 million to Vornado Realty Trust,’ said Peter Reisman, managing director and chief communications officer of Bank of China U.S.A. ‘Within 22 days, the loan was securitized and sold into the [commercial mortgage-backed securities] market, as is a common practice in the industry. Bank of China has not had any ownership interest in that loan since late November 2012,'” Politico’s article now reads.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign director of rapid response pushed the article before it was determined to be fake news. Still, Politico did not retract the article. The article still tries to connect Trump’s response to the novel coronavirus. “The Trump campaign has steadily increased its focus on trying to portray Biden as weak on China amid rising voter disapproval of China, the source of the coronavirus pandemic,” according to Politico. Politico stood by the report in a statement to the Daily Caller.

Newsom Ordered by CA Supreme Court to Defend $75 Million Giveaway to Illegals

Californians struggling to make ends meet during extended coronavirus shutdowns were not amused when their governor, Gavin Newsom, announced the creation of a public-private partnership to give away $125 million ($500/person) in pandemic relief grants to illegal immigrants who are ineligible to receive unemployment benefits or federal stimulus checks (because they are not here legally, duh). Newsom further explained that of the $125 million in funding, $75 million would come from taxpayer funds (without explaining any legislative process appropriating such funds) and that “a group of charities” had promised to chip in $50 million. An accompanying press release gave more details (emphasis added).

There’s only one problem. California’s Constitution forbids appropriating funds “to any corporation, association, asylum, hospital, or any other institution not under the exclusive management and control of the State as a state institution.” Newsom had attempted this method of distribution since, under state and federal law, unemployment benefits cannot be extended to illegal aliens either without caring that it was prohibited under California’s constitution, or believing that no one would care enough to challenge it. He was wrong. On April 22 Ricardo Benitez, a legal immigrant from El Salvador, and Jessica Martinez, a Californian of Mexican/American descent, “filed an emergency petition to the California Supreme Court requesting the Court immediately stay Governor Newsom’s appropriation of $75 million to unnamed regional non-profits so they can, in turn, provide $500 checks to unemployed undocumented immigrants.” Benitez and Martinez are both Republican candidates for the California State Assembly and are represented by The Center for American Liberty in conjunction with Harmeet Dhillon and Mark Meuser of the Dhillon Law Firm.

According to the petition, the network of unnamed charities, which are all illegal immigrant advocacy groups, will pocket 40 percent of the total funding to administer the program. This is nothing more than money laundering to keep these favored charities going through the pandemic. Just a day after the petition was filed the California Supreme Court requested that Newsom and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra reply to the petition by April 28.

Dhillon appeared on Fox & Friends Saturday morning to discuss the lawsuit and the Plaintiffs’ arguments. As Dhillon says in the interview, since it doesn’t violate the California Constitution for the state to give food or clothing or material goods to illegal aliens who are in need, Newsom could appropriate money to that, or could simply ask that network of philanthropists who are going to pony up $50 million for his money laundering scheme to donate $75 million directly to the illegal aliens he’s so concerned about. But that wouldn’t allow him to take credit in his re-election campaign and wouldn’t line the pockets of the activists whose support he will need to man phone banks and walk precincts.

Fantastic Anon, Can't even imagine the thrill and excitement you must have felt during the ride of a lifetime!

To your point…I have often wondered if those who died on 911 are buried on Hart Island..which may be why it is kept so secretive in the first place. They only recently have allowed people to visit but, they are only allowed to a small confined space on that 1mile island with over 1 million people buried there over the years. In addition I also remember reading the first Aids baby is buried there at a depth of 14 feet in addition to other children. All of this raises the suspicion of what are they REALLY trying to hide?
