SCARY: Sinkhole Shuts Down Airport Runway in New York City

Well, this is a new one… On Wednesday, a runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City was forced to close after a sinkhole opened up. Thankfully, the sinkhole was discovered before anyone could be injured. Here’s some footage from the scene: A freaking sinkhole took out a runway at LaGuardia in NY. They shut it down immediately. No injuries. This airport really can’t catch a break.

The runway was immediately shut down, and emergency construction and engineering crews are onsite to determine the cause and complete necessary repairs as quickly and safely as possible. The Port Authority is in close communication with airlines and airport partners and will continue providing updates as conditions evolve. Travelers should expect delays and cancellations, particularly with forecast thunderstorms expected later today, and are strongly encouraged to check directly with their airlines for the latest flight status information. What on earth is going on at these New York airports? This isn’t the first serious problem to happen at this airport in recent times. At this very same runway, two pilots were killed in a collision back in March. Per NBC New York: The runway where the sinkhole was found is the same one where an Air Canada jet crashed into a Port Authority fire truck while landing in March, killing the two pilots. The runway is expected to re-open on Thursday after the necessary repairs are finished. It caused significant delays for many flyers on Wednesday. The New York Post shared some witness accounts: Several passengers at the travel hub told The Post their flights made wonky detours to work around the runway closure, delaying their landings. “We flew around Manhattan in a weird direction. Lately, with all the mishaps and near misses at major airports, I’m thankful they found it before a plane went into it. I hope there were no injuries,” said Kit Deason, an IT manager from Alabama who flew Southwest. “The pilot said that there were delays because the planes were ‘single file lining up at LaGuardia’. They didn’t say a sinkhole. I’m a firefighter, so I know if they’re shutting down runways, there’s a problem,” added Ryan Mastian, who flew American Airlines from Indianapolis to meet up with Deason. The runway snafu also snarled some people’s travel plans, including those hoping to board connecting flights. “The pilot said over the loudspeaker that we may have to sit on the runway for a while when we landed, but we didn’t have to. But now our connecting flight is completely canceled,” said Samantha, a 36-year-old veterinarian from Maine. Other jetsetters, such as Rick Samko, who was trying to fly back to Miami with JetBlue, complained about hours-long delays to board his flight. “A sinkhole- that’s a first. A sinkhole at an airport — it wasn’t on my bingo card, I’ll tell you that. We were supposed to board at 8, and now the flights pushed back until 2 a.m. What’s going on?” said Samko, 42. “Now I’m just trying to rent a car to drive home.” CBS Evening News provided additional coverage here: After a sinkhole opened up near a runway at LaGuardia Airport Wednesday morning, there are new concerns about travel as millions of Americans are expected to hit the road and skies for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. @KrisVanCleave has the latest. pic.twitter.com/neR4f2qLiH — CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil (@CBSEveningNews) May 20, 2026 This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Explosive Device Detonates Outside Polling Station In Pennsylvania, Authorities Further Discover 17 Homemade Explosive Devices

This was a close call. On Wednesday, a man threw an explosive device near a polling station in Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania State Police, the explosive device detonated beneath a vehicle parked near the polling station where voters were preparing to cast ballots in the Democrat primary for Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. After investigating the crime, authorities were able to arrest two suspects connected to the explosive device and discovered 17 more illegal explosives in their possession. CBS News provided the identities of the suspects and gave a full report on the investigation: Two Pennsylvania men who had 17 illegal homemade explosives were arrested after a device detonated near a polling place in Lehigh County on Tuesday, according to a criminal complaint. On Wednesday, Matthew Pletz, 57, and Jack Pletz, 25, were both charged with weapons of mass destruction, risking catastrophe and more after an explosive device detonated in Catasauqua during Tuesday’s primary election. Pennsylvania State Police in Bethlehem responded to Salem United Church of Christ, which was a polling place in the primary election, in Catasauqua Tuesday morning, for the report of an explosive device that detonated in the area of the 600 block of 3rd Street. According to a criminal complaint, first responders found remnants of an explosive device at the intersection of Walnut and 3rd streets, which is west of the church. The explosive device was consistent with the construction of “M-type” explosive devices, the criminal complaint said. Investigators at the scene in Catasauqua recovered footage that allegedly captured the sound of the explosion, according to a criminal complaint. Matthew and Jack Pletz were allegedly inside a green 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck and fled the explosion, a criminal complaint said. In the video, a driver was seen driving a Chevy Equinox through a plume of smoke. The driver of the Equinox told police that they saw a Chevrolet pickup truck with Matthew Pletz and Jack Pletz allegedly inside, driving north when they heard a loud bang, according to the criminal complaint. Security footage recovered also shows Matthew and Jack Pletz at the intersection of 3rd and Walnut streets inside the Chevrolet pickup truck moments before the explosion. The scene: Police recovered 17 explosives after a device detonated near a Lehigh County polling place Tuesday, court documents show. https://t.co/PmupcVKd6V — CBS Philadelphia (@CBSPhiladelphia) May 20, 2026 The Hill provided details on the primary voting that was occurring at the polling station before the explosive device detonated: The polling site was located inside of the Salem United Church of Christ in the small eastern city in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. Catasauqua is a suburb of Allentown and had a population of 6,518 in the 2020 census. Democratic candidates competed in Tuesday’s primary in the 7th District to determine a challenger for incumbent Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie. Retired firefighter and union leader Bob Brooks won 41.7 percent of the vote and will face off with Mackenzie in the November election, according to Decision Desk HQ. Police secured the area following the incident. Local election officials told local station ABC 6 that the road closure had a negative impact on voter turnout, despite polls remaining open. “Prior to all of this happening, we were getting a steady stream of people in,” said Catasauqua Judge of Election of the 3rd District Louis Draxler. “Since this has occurred, and the streets are all blocked off, we’re getting very few people coming in.” Threats to polling places are not new. The Brennan Center for Justice reported that at least 227 bomb threats were made to voting centers in the 2024 election, including in Pennsylvania. What’s your assessment?

He returned to service to “finish the story” he started over 20 years ago and repay a remaining “debt.” How badass is this story? What a legend! After he retired, Jones spent years as a Fox News host and wrote multiple bestsellers. Fox News provided more details on his background: Jones, a formerly-retired staff sergeant, served eight years in the Marine Corps and was deployed twice, suffering a life-changing injury while deployed in Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician. The 2010 IED-related incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs and severe damage to his right forearm and both wrists… Jones will remain a co-host of “The Big Weekend Show” and continue to provide military analysis across all FOX News Media platforms. Jones is the author of FOX News Books’ New York Times bestseller “Unbroken Bonds of Battle,” which spotlights the service people who dedicated their lives to protecting the freedoms and people of the United States of America. He also authored the New York Times bestseller FOX News Books’ “Behind the Badge: Answering the Call to Serve on America’s Homefront,” which details the stories of first responders and the drive behind their patriotic acts of heroism. He spends much of his time working on issues facing active duty and retired service members and created a fellowship on Capitol Hill with the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.

President Trump Takes Jab At Fox News Reporter Over Her Fiancé’s Voting Record

President Trump has a good memory. On Wednesday, President Trump was taking questions from the press when he noticed Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich in the crowd. As Trump noticed that Heinrich was in the press pool, he quickly called out the correspondent’s fiancé, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick. Trump stated that Heinrich’s fiancée, Rep. Fitzpatrick, constantly votes against his agenda and asked Heinrich what was up with him. The Hill provided more details on the interaction: President Trump taunted a Fox News reporter on Wednesday over her relationship with a Republican congressman and his record of breaking with the president on key votes. In a gaggle with reporters, Trump responded to an unrelated question by taking a personal jab at Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, who announced her engagement last year to Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.). “Her husband votes against me all the time. Can you imagine? I don’t know what’s with him. You better ask him what’s with him,” Trump said, apparently referring to Heinrich’s fiancé as her husband. “He likes voting against Trump,” the president added. “You know what happens with that. It doesn’t work out well.” Trump’s thinly veiled threat against Fitzpatrick comes on the heels of several victories against Republican lawmakers who openly defied him. After Trump successfully backed primary challenges against most Indiana state senators who opposed his GOP-friendly redistricting plan, the president helped oust Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). But Fitzpatrick — one of three House Republicans representing districts carried by former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 — faced no primary challenger this year and won renomination on Tuesday. Watch here: LMAO, President Trump just DROPPED this line on a reporter to her face! "Her husband votes against me all the time! Can you imagine? I don't know what's with him. You better ask him what's with him." "You know what happens with THAT? Doesn't work out well!" "Her husband… pic.twitter.com/B5MPcXpVEr — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 20, 2026 The Daily Beast reported Fitzpatrick has now taken revenge after Trump called him out: A GOP congressman whose reporter fiancée was insulted by Donald Trump has vowed to become a major thorn in the president’s side. Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick on Wednesday pledged to torpedo Trump’s $1.8 billion deal with the DOJ just hours after the president disrespected the congressman’s wife, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich. Heinrich had tried to ask Trump earlier in the day whether he’d had a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the president ignored her and instead went on a long diatribe against Fitzpatrick. “Well, her husband votes against me all the time. Can you imagine?” Trump said, apparently addressing the other reporters. The 79-year-old president continued rambling, “I don’t know what’s with him. You better ask what’s with him. Her husband, she’s married to a certain congressman. He likes voting against Trump. You know what happens with that? Doesn’t work out well. I don’t know why he does.” He then took a question from another reporter asking about Taiwan. While Trump claimed that Heinrich, 37, and Fitzpatrick, 52, are married, a Fox News spokesperson told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the pair are still engaged. The Daily Beast has reached out to Fox for comment. Here’s Fitzpatrick on CNN: Republican Rep.

GOP Proposal Would Kick Several Pro-Trump REPUBLICAN Lawmakers Out of Congress

Rep. Nancy Mace is introducing a proposed resolution to hold members of Congress — and certain other elected or appointed federal officials — to the same Constitutional standard as the President and VP. In short, the joint resolution would bar anyone not actually born on US soil from holding those positions. If Rep. Ilhan Omar immediately comes to mind, that’s essentially who Mace singled out when she introduced her proposal. Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Mace announced she had entered the proposal as official legislation in the House: I just filed legislation to ban foreign-born elected officials and judges. — Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) May 20, 2026 Earlier in the day she teased the legislation with this post on X highlighting three specific Democrats who have raised eyebrows concerning their loyalty to America: Ilhan Omar.

All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America. We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a… pic.twitter.com/jTTKyr5Sgb — Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) May 20, 2026 Here’s the full text of that post in which Rep. Nancy Mace made her case, primarily against the likes of Ilhan Omar, Shri Thanedar, and Pramila Jayapal: Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America. We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet. The people writing America’s laws, confirming America’s judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country. For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day. This constitutional amendment will put an end to it. Democrat Shri Thanedar, the current US Representative for Michigan’s 13th Congressional district was born in India and moved to the US when he was 25 years old, according to his official House website. Shri didn’t take too kindly to Nancy Mace’s proposed legislation. He hit back, referencing a report that Rep. Mace had forced her staff to vote her as the “hottest”, and rumors about an alleged drinking problem: And I'm introducing a resolution to ban congressmembers who make their staff vote for them as the "Hottest" Woman in Congress from holding office. Get your drinking problem fixed before coming for those of us who worked hard to come here and contribute. https://t.co/Dy5SMNErok pic.twitter.com/jp9HCqgBl1 — Congressman Shri Thanedar (@RepShriThanedar) May 20, 2026 On a little more serious note… Rep. Mace’s proposed legislation, if passed by both houses, would effectively unseat multiple members of Congress. That would include several pro-Trump members of Congress who have shown allegiance to the basic principles of the ‘America First’ doctrine. Please know that I’m not arguing that should be the only prerequisite for holding a seat in the US Congress — I’m just stating the facts. Obviously, the implications for the likes of Somali-born Ilhan Omar would be praised by most Republicans in Congress. She is exactly the sort of foreign-born official with anti-American sentiments Mace had in mind for this legislation, as reported by Fox News: Under the U.S. Constitution, anyone who is not a “natural-born citizen” is barred from becoming president or vice president. Now, a House Republican wants to expand that requirement to much of the federal government. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., plans to introduce a joint resolution Wednesday proposing a constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress, federal judges and other Senate-confirmed appointees to be natural-born citizens. “If you hold power in the American government, you should be a natural-born American citizen,” Mace told Fox News Digital in a statement. “For too long we have allowed foreign-born members to hold seats in this government, while making clear their loyalty is not here. We see it every day.” Mace specifically called out progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who was born in Somalia and became a naturalized citizen in 2000. “Ilhan Omar is just one of many foreign-born members of this government who have made clear, time and again, their loyalty is not here,” Mace said. “The American people deserve leaders who put America first. This amendment closes a gap in our Constitution long overdue for closing.” The question then begs to be asked, and answered — Exactly how many members of Congress are we talking about? I did the research.  I have the results. And quite honestly… I’m shocked. We are talking about SEVERAL DOZEN members of Congress alone, according to this from the New York Post: Mace noted the proposed amendment would impose the “very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet” on lawmakers and top government officials. “The people writing America’s laws, confirming America’s judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country,” she argued. “For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first,” Mace added. “We see it every day. “This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.” Twenty-six House members, including 19 Democrats and seven Republicans, were born outside of the US. In the upper chamber, six senators – four Democrats and two Republicans – were born outside the US. (Emphasis added.) I have to admit I had no idea the number of foreign-born citizens serving in Congress was that high! The debate over whether naturalized citizenship should be acceptable for federal officials, while the President and Vice President must be born on US soil, is sure to ramp up following Mace’s proposed legislation. Meanwhile, here’s a few lists to consider.  Here are the receipts, as they say. Check out this list of Democrats and Republicans currently holding a seat in the US House as of May 1st of 2026 that were born outside of the United States, according to the official report by the House Clerk: DEMOCRATS – Currently Serving in the House: Becca Balint (VT-At Large): Born in Germany. Donald S. Beyer, Jr. (VA-08): Born in the Free Territory of Trieste. Salud O. Carbajal (CA-24): Born in Mexico. Sean Casten (IL-06): Born in Ireland. Sharice Davids (KS-03): Born in Germany. Diana DeGette (CO-01): Born in Japan. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13): Born in Dominican Republic. Jesús G. “Chuy” García (IL-04): Born in Mexico. Robert Garcia (CA-42): Born in Peru. James A.

Raul Ruiz (CA-25): Born in Mexico. Marilyn Strickland (WA-10): Born in South Korea. Shri Thanedar (MI-13): Born in India. Norma J. Torres (CA-35): Born in Guatemala. Eugene Vindman (VA-07): Born in Ukraine (Ukrainian SSR). REPUBLICANS – Currently Serving in the House: Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06): Born in Mexico. Andrew S. Clyde (GA-09): Born in Canada. Dan Crenshaw (TX-02): Born in Scotland. Carlos Giménez (FL-28): Born in Cuba. Young Kim (CA-40): Born in South Korea. David Rouzer (NC-07): Born in Germany. Victoria Spartz (IN-05): Born in Ukraine. The Senate website maintains a database of members which can be toggled to show their place of birth as well. Here’s the current foreign-born Democrats and Republicans holding seats in the US Senate according to that Senate directory: DEMOCRATS – Currently Serving in the Senate: Michael F. Bennet (CO): Born in India (to American parents). Tammy Duckworth (IL): Born in Thailand (to American parents). Mazie K. Hirono (HI): Born in Japan. Chris Van Hollen (MD): Born in Pakistan (to American parents). REPUBLICANS – Currently Serving in the Senate: Ted Cruz (TX): Born in Canada (to American parents). Bernie Moreno (OH): Born in Colombia. Let’s be clear — that’s a lot of federal lawmakers! Benny Johnson had Rep. Andy Olges on his show about a month ago, and they discussed this very issue. Rep. Olges said at the time that he would very much back a ban on foreign-born judges and members of Congress. Here’s a clip from that discussion, if you’re trying to wrap your mind around the realization that this is even a thing!: Rep.

And I’ll put a full-screen version of that clip down below, as well: Rep. Andy Ogles Says He’d “ABSOLUTELY” Back Ban on Foreign-Born Individuals Serving as Judges or in Congress There is a shocking number of judges who weren’t born in America. “I don’t think our founding fathers ever intended for individuals from hostile nations serving and leading the nation.” Congress would be far better off without representatives like Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal, and Shri Thanedar. Ogles also called for a full halt to immigration: “The immigration reform really hasn’t happened in a positive way for 60 years. And so we’ve got to take back control of immigration — quite frankly, stop it altogether.” Nailed it. And here’s the full-screen version of that clip for convenience: Rep.

Nothing I’ve heard from the Democrats would come close to a ‘serious argument’ on this issue — but law professor Jonathan Turley actually has a principled response against such a ban. I don’t think I agree with Turley on this, to be honest… But in the interest of exploring the issue fully, he teased his response on X earlier today by pointing back to a column he wrote in February of 2025: I strongly disagree with the push for a constitutional amendment to bar foreign-born legislators. https://t.co/bS79TOWWsD While I have suggested the possible https://t.co/hAxH13QE2p, I cannot think of anything more antithetical to our founding than barring foreign-born citizens… — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) May 20, 2026 If I understand Turley’s point correctly, he is generally against Rep. Nancy Mace’s outright ban on foreign-born citizens serving as judges or in Congress. That’s the part I think I disagree on. But he also highlights the very real dangers of the current situation, running unchecked, in the article he referenced in his post — and I fully agree that the dangers he outlines are serious and real. Here’s an excerpt from his opinion piece, which he shared from his blog site, Jonathan Turley . org: The final word actually rests with the public. We can amend the Constitution to join most of the world in barring birthright citizenship. There is no more important question in a republic than the definition of citizenship. We are becoming a virtual mockery as we watch millions game the birthright citizenship system. China alone has hundreds of tourism firms that have made fortunes in arranging for Chinese citizens to come to U.S. territory to give birth and then return home. No republic can last without controlling its borders and the qualifications for citizenship. We have allowed U.S. citizenship to become a mere commodity for the most affluent or unscrupulous among us. The combination of open borders and open-ended citizenship can be an existential threat to this Republic. It is not that we cannot absorb millions of births, but rather that no republic can retain its core identity without more clearly defining and controlling the meaning of being a citizen. The U.S. is and will remain a nation of immigrants. We welcome lawful immigrants who come to this country to embrace our values and our common identity. But being a nation of immigrants does not mean that we are a nation of chumps. Unfortunately, “chumps” is exactly what we have right now scattered about the judicial and legislative branches of our federal government. Rep. Nancy Mace is determined that something has to be done about that. I don’t know whether her proposed legislation is the best answer… But I haven’t seen anyone else with any bright ideas that even come close. And at the end of the day, harsh though it may be — her approach may be exactly the no B.S. ‘America First’ approach that finally destroys the proverbial ‘5th column’ invasion happening right under our noses.
