Obese Woman Demands Airlines Comp 2nd Seat to Account for Girth

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Obese TikTok influencer Jae’lynn Chaney called on the Federal Aviation Administration to force airlines to comp tickets for fat people who could not fly comfortably in a single seat.

According to the Post Millennial, Chaney argued that airline policies were “discriminatory” and passengers who did not fit in regular-size airline seats should not have to pay for the space they occupied.

“People with smaller bodies get to pay one fare to get to their destination, and we have to pay two fares, even though we’re getting the same experience,” she said. “If anything, our experiences are a little bit more challenging.”

Cheney is a size 6XL. In an interview with CNN Travel, she said she has been larger than average her entire life and garnered a massive social-media following posting her gripes about traveling as an obese individual.

Many of her complaints stemmed from the reactions of other travelers.

She recently started a petition calling for government intervention in the airline industry, “requiring plus-size passengers to be accommodated for free or reimbursement.”

@jaebaeofficial As a plus size traveler, I know firsthand how uncomfortable and unsafe it can be to squeeze into a tiny airplane seat. That’s why I believe that every plus size traveler should have access to a free second or even third seat on an airplane if needed. This isn’t about asking for special treatment or luxury accommodations. It’s simply about ensuring that all travelers have enough space to travel comfortably and safely, without fear of being discriminated against because of their size. I’m not alone in this opinion – many people agree that plane seats are too small even for the average person. By signing my petition and sharing it with your friends and family, you can help us work towards a more inclusive and accommodating air travel experience for everyone. Let’s stand together and make some real change in the industry. To sign the petition check out the link in my b!0.

Cheney claimed that she and her partner “were subjected to hateful comments, disapproving looks and even refusal to sit next to them.”

Cheney also requested that the FAA mandate all new airplanes have at least one wheelchair accessible restroom to “promote a more inclusive and accommodating travel experience.”

Only 20,000 people signed the petition since its publishing in April.

She also requested that the industry become more “standardized,” asking airlines to publish how-to guides, giving plus-size people step-by-step instructions on their procedures.

Cheney cited Canadian policies on plus-size travelers, which prohibited airlines from charging larger passengers for multiple seats in 2008, despite the fact that they take up more space and resources. Australia also implemented similar laws for domestic flights.

Nonprofit organization Flyers Rights petitioned the FAA in 2022, demanding the governmental organization update the regulations surrounding seat size for airlines—which has decreased from 18.5 inches to 17 inches in the last 20 years.

The US appeals court struck the measure down earlier this year.

Math Teacher Threatens to Punish Kids for Groaning at Pride Video

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) A woke high school math teacher in California recently threatened to punish some high school students for their reaction to a Pride video shown in class. 

According to a Fox News report, the teacher at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California, played an LGBTQ+ video to the students and threatened to punish them after seeing their reactions to the video. 

In a video filmed by one of the students in the class, several students protested, saying “stop” and asking the teacher to “turn it off.” One of the students also asked, “Why are you showing this to kids?”

However, the teacher responded, “Hey, I’ll warn you guys now, if you’re going to be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you Saturday school for [indiscernible]. So knock it off.”

A parent at the school reportedly shared the video on social media, and it immediately went viral as Robby Starbuck, a well-known conservative commentator, shared it on Twitter.

“Parents of kids at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California, say this video was played to their kids in math class,” Starbuck wrote in his tweet with the video, which got over 10 million views. “The kids clearly didn’t want to watch this pride video, so the teacher threatened them with Saturday school to get them to watch it.”

An LGBTQ supporter defended the Pride video, saying it was simply a message about love and acceptance and should not have gotten the reaction it did from the students. 

The individual shared the full video on Twitter with the caption, “Here is the video that was shown at Edison High. It’s a simple explanation of #Pride month and does not show two women kissing, just their heads together. The message of this video is to love and accept everyone on campus. That is all.”

However, the original poster of the video noted that the teacher played the said video to the students in all classes that day.

The conservative commentator also wrote in another tweet, “Some 10th-grade students came forward to tell me that this video was played in ALL classes that day, not just math class. They’re upset about it and want the school to refrain from playing videos like this.”

Report: Pedophile DHS Informant Played Key Role in Hitman Case

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) A DHS informant previously convicted of child sex crimes is playing a key role in an ongoing hitman-for-hire case, according to an investigation published by Forbes on Wednesday.

The U.S. government’s case is against Los Angeles hairdresser Julia Coda, who is accused of offering to pay thousands of dollars on the dark web to have a Louisiana man killed.

The FBI purportedly discovered Coda’s plan by an anonymous informant, who passed along records that had been hacked from the dark web hitman-for-hire site. The FBI’s informant obtained the hacked hitman-for-hire records from another informant, this one who works for the DHS.

According to Forbes, the DHS informant has his own dark past.

Citing a search warrant in the case, Forbes reported that the informant, who has worked for DHS since at least 2018, was previously convicted of crimes related to child sex abuse material in a foreign country.

“No further details of their crimes or past work with the DHS were provided in the warrant, but questions remain over whether the government should have relied on a source with a prior conviction and who had just allegedly committed another illegal act: hacking into a website without authorization,” wrote Forbes reporter Thomas Brewster.

The search warrant reportedly noted that the DHS didn’t pay the source, but instead had a “proffer agreement,” which typically sees the government offer promises about how or if they will prosecute an informant.

Brewster also noted that even the FBI had reservations about working with the DHS informant.

“The FBI wrote that ‘in 2018 the FBI considered working with the [DHS] source as a confidential human source, but chose not to due to concerns about controlling the [DHS] source’s activities,’” Brewster said, citing the search warrant that he obtained.

The FBI is apparently trying to distance itself from the DHS’s pedophile informant. The bureau’s warrant reportedly classified the hacker as a “sub-source” whose information came to the FBI via a separate anonymous informant.

“That distance from the hacker indicates that the government didn’t encourage any unlawful hacking and likely saved the agency from any violation of the fourth amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches,” Brewster wrote.

The DOJ reportedly declined to comment, while the DHS didn’t respond to a Forbes request for comment.

Coda’s trial is set for Nov. 14.

Globalist UN Proposes Digital Online Compact to ‘Prevent Hate’

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) United Nations Secretary General António Guterres announced the upcoming “Global Digital Compact,” a worldwide censorship campaign aimed at preventing so-called hate speech and disinformation in the digital space.

The Orwellian terms are often used as dogwhistles, giving totalitarian elites free rein to control and suppress any speech or criticism that they deem disagreeable or contrary to their far-left agenda.

“Digital platforms are being misused to subvert science and spread disinformation and hate to billions of people,” Guterres said, without evidence.

“The proliferation of hate and lies in the digital space is causing grave global harm,” he added. “This clear and present global threat demands clear and coordinated global action. We don’t have a moment to lose.”

According to Breitbart, the UN recently published two policy briefs outlining what global control of the internet might entail.

One, titled the “Global Digital Compact,” proclaimed the UN’s intent to impose digital equity—a dogwhistle term for Marxist collectivism through redistribution of resources—and to provide internet access across regions, gender, income, language and age groups.

“Inequality is rising,” the U.N. policy brief said.

“Enormous investments in technology have not been accompanied by spending on public education and infrastructure,” it continued. “Digital technology has led to massive gains in productivity and value, but these benefits are not resulting in shared prosperity.”

The brief also included several gripes against “hate speech,” “mis- and disinformation” and “the darker side of the digital ecosystem.”

The document proclaimed that the internet allowed for the “rapid spread of lies and hate, causing real harm on a global scale,” but neglected to provide examples of said lies and hate.

“The danger cannot be overstated. Social media-enabled hate speech and disinformation can lead to violence and death,” the document read. “The ability to disseminate large-scale disinformation to undermine scientifically established facts poses an existential risk to humanity.”

The UN also pushed platform owners to invest in artificial intelligence moderation systems—a hotly debated topic at the moment, as programmers kept bipartisan politics front of mind when writing code for ChatGPT and other AI chatbots.

“From health and gender equality to peace, justice, education, and climate action, measures that limit the impact of mis- and disinformation and hate speech will boost efforts to achieve a sustainable future and leave no one behind,” the policy paper concluded.

TikTok Influencers Replacing Journalists as Most Trusted News Source

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) A new study suggests more bad “news” for the legacy media industry and the narrative-pushing, elitist journalists who inhabit those corporate precincts both here and overseas.

The 2023 Digital News Report published by the U.K.-based Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism revealed, among other things, that younger consumers, in particular, prefer to get information, depending on how that is defined, from online platforms such as TikTok rather than conventional networks and websites.

“When it comes to news, audiences say they pay more attention to celebrities, influencers, and social media personalities than journalists in networks like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat,” the report’s executive summary asserted.

“This contrasts sharply with Facebook and Twitter, where news media and journalists are still central to the conversation.”

And interest in keeping up with traditional news itself, as opposed to or what might be redefined broadly as entertainment and culture, seems to be waning, at least among the youth demographic.

“TikTok is the fastest growing social network in the report, used by 20% of 18- to 24-year-olds for news, up five percentage points from last year. Fewer than half the survey respondents expressed much interest in news at all, down sharply from 6 out of 10 in 2017,” Reuters also explained.

Facebook continues to retain currency, although the Mark Zuckerberg-founded social network is shifting away from news, with only 3% of its news feeds apparently sharing that sort of content from media outlets.

The findings were derived from what is purported to be about 94,000 interviews across 46 countries.

“Facebook remains one of the most-used social networks overall… It also faces new challenges from established networks such as YouTube and vibrant youth-focused networks such as TikTok,” the report’s executive summary underscored.

Direct traffic to news websites is also on the decline, with only 22% of the respondents apparently preferring that option to clicking on social media links.

According to Rasmus Neilsen, the director of the University of Oxford-based Reuters Institute, “younger generations…have little interest in many conventional news offers oriented towards older generations’ habits, interests, and values, and instead embrace the more personality-based, participatory, and personalized options offered by social media, often looking beyond legacy platforms to new entrants.”

The fact that CCP-controlled China owns TikTok obviously is a key concern to policymakers and regulators.

Accompanying the trend reflected in the report is fall-off in consumers turning to TV and print to find out what’s news.

With the ongoing cord-cutting trend in favor of streaming, many industry observers have separately concluded that, for example, cable television itself (let alone cable news) is eventually headed to irrelevance.

The separation of Tucker Carlson from Fox News may have sped up that timetable.

According to a recent Gallup Poll, Carlson, who is currently posting his signature monologues on Twitter in a prelude to a new digital show, is the most popular public figure in America.

“Trust in the news has fallen by 2 percentage points in the last year…The United States has seen a 6-point increase in trust in news, to 32%, but remains among the lowest in the survey,” Reuters noted.

“In the longer term, our data suggest that significant shifts in audience behavior, driven by younger demographics, are likely to kick in, including a preference for more accessible, informal, and entertaining news formats, often delivered by influencers rather than journalists, and consumed within platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok,” the Digital News Report concluded, in part.

Disgraced Ex-CDC Director Gets Savage Send-Off at House Hearing

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) During a hearing Tuesday in front of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, House Republicans and others blasted Rochelle Walensky, the outgoing director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for her inconsistent statements about COVID-19 vaccines.

Walensky, who announced she was stepping down in May citing a “pandemic transition,” faced a barrage of questions about inconsistent information about the efficacy of vaccines in preventing the spread of COVID-19, the Gateway Pundit reported. 

The former professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School claimed that her “vaccine effectiveness claims were generally accurate,” when questioned by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the news outlet noted.

“We generally saw that if you were to get infected after you had been vaccinated that you were not carrying the virus by transmitting it to somebody else,” Walensky claimed. “You could not transmit it to others.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., contributed to the stinging send-off by ripping into Walensky about future employment plans following her departure from the CDC.

“Now that you’re going to be leaving the CDC pretty soon, what job are you going to take?” Greene grilled. “Are you going to be on the board of either Pfizer or Moderna, because you’ve done one hell of a job in making sure that they’ve made a lot of money?”

Greene held up a bar chart purporting to show miscarriages and stillbirths increasing after FDA approved covid vaccines.

Greene then quoted the CDC, which recommended that pregnant people and those breastfeeding get vaccinated to protect themselves from COVID-19.

The number of miscarriages and “stillbirths increased drastically due to your advice to get vaccinated,” the congresswoman said. 

Even more striking, was the moment before the official proceedings began.

Ivan Raiklin, who is both a retired Army Green Beret and a lawyer, challenged Walensky as she walked into the hearing, implying that some future hearing might, in hindsight, reexamine her vaccine promotion as a complicit role in pushing mass genoncide.

“Hey, Dr. Walensky,” said Raiklin. “I really look forward to you testifying about your involvement in the deaths of 38,000 Americans due to the jab.”

Tucker Carlson Insurgents May Still Be Running Fox’s Downscreen Chyron

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Hope may remain for the increasingly-woke Fox News, which ran a chyron Tuesday calling President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator” who was speaking at the White House “after having his political rival arrested,” the Daily Mail reported.

The message appeared during Fox’s primetime broadcast of Biden’s Washington, D.C. speech, side by side with former President Donald Trump’s rally in Bedminster, New Jersey.

As the message flashed across the bottom of the screen, Fox showed Trump delivering a defiant speech from his New Jersey golf club after pleading “not guilty” to federal charges, which he characterized as “a political persecution like something out of a fascist or communist nation.”

According to the former president, he “did everything right and they indicted me.”

He also suggested that the nation had “witnessed the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country,” alluding to Biden’s partisan Mar-a-Lago raid last fall, which was followed by federal charges earlier this month.

Biden, he suggested, will go down in history as “the president who together with a band of his closest thugs, misfits and Marxist tried to destroy American democracy.”

The Fox News chyron led to social-media outrage on behalf of the left.

“Why would a large network news channel like Fox let some disgruntled conspiracy theorist in the back control the chyron,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another noted that he expected Fox to “go lower than low but talk about fanning the flames.”

Meanwhile, Fox News has been in the process of insulting the vast majority of its viewers in its recent layoff of massively successful host Tucker Carlson, as well as its capitulation to the DEI regime.

Sen. JD Vance Vows to ‘Halt’ All Pending Senate Nominees to Weaponized DOJ

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, pledged to keep the weaponized Justice Department in check by thwarting all nominees currently awaiting Senate confirmation in response to the indictment of former President Donald Trump and other partisan lawfare attacks targeting conservatives.

Vance explained that, like millions of Americans, he was frustrated with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s politicization of the DOJ. In a video posted to Twitter he explained that it was time to stop complaining and arguing about the issue “and actually do something about it.”

Vance vowed to place holds on nominees to the Department of Justice, according to Life News. If a senator places a hold on a nominee, it indicates a lack of unanimity, which forces the nomination to be approved by a vote of the chamber. This makes the nominations slower and less secure.

“We have to grind this department to a halt until Merrick Garland promises to do his job and stop going after his political opponents,” Vance explained.

Vance argued that this was the correct thing to do because Merrick Garland would not use his employees to enforce the law, but rather “clearly to harass his political opponents,” referring to the politicized Trump indictment.

Meanwhile, Garland’s FBI has actively engaged in a slow-walking operation of its own in investigating the financial crimes of presidential son Hunter Biden, and the FBI continues to stonewall Congress over materials related to a bribe that then Vice Presiden Joe Biden is alleged to have negotiated with Ukraine’s Burisma energy company.

Vance was clear, however, that this system of two-tiered justice was being applied not just at the highest levels of government but also to persecute law-abiding common citizens for exercizing their constitutional rights.

“We have Catholic fathers harassed for their pro-life activism,” Vance said, perhaps referring to the arrest of Mark Houck, a Catholic father who was drug out of his home in the early morning in front of his children for opposing abortion outside of a Planned Parenthood. A jury later acquitted Houck.

“We, of course, have violent criminals walking the streets after the 2020 summer of riots,” he continued, referring to the riots following the overdose death of ‘Saint Floyd of Fentanyl.’

These cases, in addition to the phony Trump indictment, convinced Vance that Garland was not doing his job.

“If you’re letting the violent criminals go free and you’re harassing Christian parents for their political activism, you’re not engaged in justice, you’re engaged in politics.”

Swamp Rot Media Censors Trump, Pushes Blackout of Biden Bribery

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Claims of a weaponized mainstream media abetting the Biden regime’s persecution of Donald Trump, while actively ignoring reports that allegedly implicate President Joe Biden in a multi-million-dollar bribery scheme, proved valid Tuesday in the wake of the former president’s arrest.

In addition to CNN’s Jake Tapper demanding that his network censor coverage of Trump being embraced and cheered by throngs of supporters, celebrities and religious leaders after his Tuesday arraignment, multiple fake news outlets followed suit.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow informed that the infamously leftist network expected Trump’s post-arrest remarks to “essentially be a Trump campaign speech” and “because of that, we do not intend to carry these remarks live,” she said.

“There is a cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things,” snookered a lead anchor for the network that relentlessly and aggressively peddled the Russia collusion hoax. 

“I do not say this with any glee,” Maddow said with a gleeful smile and condescending smirk over censoring Trump.

“I hope it is clear that this is not a glib decision,” Maddow added, while promising that the network would monitor the speech and air what they deemed acceptable for public consumption, similar to how it covered the J6 Inquisition’s release of selective information to push an Orange Man Bad narrative.

The Biden-collaborative media had good reason to censor Trump’s remarks, made to supporters gathered Tuesday at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.

The DOJ’s unprecedented action was “political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or communist nation,” Trump said, “They ought to drop this case immediately, because they’re destroying the country.”

Calling Biden’s Special Counsel Jack Smith a “deranged lunatic” pushing a partisan agenda, Trump said that America “had just witnessed the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country,” referring to his arrest on 37 felony counts related his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

“It’s a very sad thing to watch. A corrupt sitting president had his top political opponents arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty,” Trump said

It was “no coincidence,” he added, “that these charges against me came down the very same day evidence revealed Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe from Ukraine. Took a $5 million bribe. But the FBI and the Justice Department don’t even want to talk about it.”

Neither does a mainstream media that has collectively turned a blind eye to growing evidence implicating Biden in the scheme.

In the four-days after Trump’s indictment and explosive and well-source revelations about Biden’s alleged corruption, networks ABC, CBS and NBC “crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 291 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment,” reported media watchdog mrcNewsBusters.

“But how much did the Biden/Burisma alleged bribery scheme receive? Zero seconds,” NewsBusters wrote. 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., warned earlier this week that a leftist media was “weaponizing” its political coverage.

“Are your prepared to defend your network?” McCarthy asked a CNN reporter Monday, when pressed if he was prepared to defend the former president.

“Even though your network hired Andrew McCabe, who was fired from the FBI for leaking classified documents,” McCarthy said. “Did you remove him from your network? No, you continued to put him on to give judgement against President Trump.”

The network doubled-down Tuesday, again using the disgraced FBI weasel to smear Trump.

“CNN really doesn’t care that you know McCabe is corrupt and partisan,” tweeted NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck. “Having him on is a middle finger to you, the viewer, that they don’t give a damn what you think.”

If the message delivered by McCabe’s deep state shilling wasn’t clear, CNN’s Tapper crystalized his own fake news bias.

“Most of permanent Washington decided that thwarting Trump was the single most important mission in their lives,” Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday, and DC’s swamp rot media proved his claim accurate.

Tucker Makes Explosive Claim for Real Reason the Deep State Wants Trump in Jail

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) It’s taken mainstream media days trying to gaslight the public into believing that the federal indictment and arrest of Donald Trump wasn’t politically motivated. It took Tucker Carlson less than 15 minutes to shred the fake news narrative and offer a disturbingly compelling reason for the former president’s persecution.

“Joe Biden is doing what no president has ever dared to do. He’s using law enforcement to lock up his chief rival. That’s happening right now. Anyone who denies it’s happening is lying to you,” Carlson said during the latest drop of his widely popular Tucker on Twitter.

The force driving Trump’s persecution stems from his longstanding opposition to “permanent Washington” and its deep state, uniparty commitment to endless war, Carlson said.

“What just happened was always going to happen. It’s been inevitable,” he said, ever since Trump “made a blood enemy of the largest and most powerful organization in human history, which would be the federal government.” 

Carlson brought time-stamped receipts to argue his case.

“Seven-and-a-half years later we can point to the precise moment when permanent Washington decided to send Donald Trump to prison,” Carlson claimed, noting Trump’s early criticism of the Iraq war and claims of weapons of mass destruction.

“We should have never been in Iraq,” Trump said during a clip that Carlson ran of the 2016 Republican candidates’ debate. “They said there were weapons of mass destruction and there were none, they lied, they knew there were none,” Trump said at the time, which Carlson said was when the former president “sealed his fate.”

“That was the one thing you were not allowed to say, as it implicated too many people on both sides, which on this topic is really just one side,” Carlson said. From that pivotal moment, “Most of permanent Washington decided that thwarting Trump was the single most important mission in their lives,” Carlson said.

“Hillary Clinton was guilty, but so was Paul Ryan, all of them were guilty, they all knew and they all lied, and to a person, they hated Donald Trump for exposing them.”

The explosive claims were made in the immediate wake of his former employer, Fox News, slapping Carlson with a “cease-and-desist” notice, claiming that his new show violated his Fox contract. If the network’s aim was to silence Carlson, it failed miserably.

“Trump’s prosecution isn’t just political, it’s ideological. Nobody with Trump’s views is allowed to have power in this country. Criticize our wars and you’re disqualified. If you keep it up, we’ll send you to prison,” Carlson said. “That’s the message Washington in sending. Not just the Democratic Party, but both parties are sending.”

That included quisling Republicans who “sucked-up to” Trump and “ingratiated themselves to the man they intuitively understood was susceptible to flattery, which Trump is,” Carlson said.

“And they did this to subvert his administration from the inside,” he said, name-checking Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo and Lindsey Graham.

“They all called Trump a visionary genius ,up until the moment he lost power. And then they unsheathed their real agenda, as always the Neo-con war agenda, and they piled on with maxim force,” Carlson said.

A case in point could be made for Pompeo, who served as Trump’s CIA director and secretary of state, and “undermined at every turn” his boss’s agenda, Carlson said.

“Now the same person is telling Fox News viewers that he fears for the safety of our military … because Donald Trump took some classified documents home and didn’t immediately return them to the National Archives. What a lie that is,” Carlson said, excoriating Pompeo for gaslighting the billions of documents, most exceedingly drab, that the federal government classifies.

“Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot at becoming president who dissents from Washington’s longstanding pointless war agenda,” Carlson said.

“And for that one fact they are trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him. And that should upset you more than anything that’s happened in American politics in your lifetime.”
