'Strong movement': 50 people were injured on a Boeing 787 flight bound for New Zealand

Dozens of passengers on a Boeing-made aircraft flying from Sydney to Auckland‚ New Zealand‚ were injured in what has been characterized as "strong movement" on Monday‚ according to NBC News. Some of those on board needed medical attention after the plane landed.The report mentioned that it is not yet clear what caused the sudden and violent movement. South American airline LATAM said in a recent statement that there was a "technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement‚" but the airline did not comment further on the situation. One person who was on the plane is thought to have suffered serious injuries‚ according to the Associated Press.The airline said: "As a result of the incident‚ some passengers and cabin crew were affected. They received immediate assistance and were evaluated or treated by medical staff at the airport as needed.""LATAM regrets the inconvenience and injury this situation may have caused its passengers‚ and reiterates its commitment to safety as a priority within the framework of its operational standards‚" it continued.A Boeing spokesperson said in a statement following the incident: "We are working to gather more information about the flight and will provide any support needed by our customer."NBC News reported that LATAM Airlines Flight LA800‚ a 787-9 Dreamliner‚ landed as scheduled in Auckland despite the issues.The incident comes as John Barnett‚ who worked for Boeing for 32 years‚ was found dead inside his truck outside a South Carolina hotel. Leading up to his retirement in 2017‚ Barnett worked as a quality manager on the 787 Dreamliner at the Boeing factory in North Charleston‚ South Carolina.Reports noted that Barnett had become involved in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing‚ detailing possible safety issues at the aerospace and defense corporation's factories. He was supposed to continue his pretrial deposition last week‚ but he never showed up. — (@) The Charleston County coroner told the BBC that Barnett died from "self-inflicted" wounds and that the authorities were currently investigating the incident.Brian Knowles‚ Barnett's attorney‚ said that his client "was supposed to do day three of his deposition here in Charleston on his AIR21 case.""Today is a tragic day‚" wrote Knowles. "John had been back and forth for quite some time getting prepared. The defense examined him for their allowed seven hours under the rules on Thursday. I cross examined him all day yesterday (Friday) and did not finish. We agreed to continue this morning at 10 a.m. (co-counsel) Rob (Turkewitz) kept calling this morning and his (Barnett's) phone would go to voicemail." Like Blaze News?

What too many Republicans get wrong about the Constitution

What too many Republicans get wrong about the Constitution

Every Republican seems to agree that our country has been taken over by a post-constitutional junta that usurps power to achieve its insidious objectives rather than follows the rule of law. But when it comes to redressing those usurpations with the only tool James Madison gave us — federalism — our elected officials too often shirk their responsibilities. Worse‚ they declare that the egregious usurpations are‚ in fact‚ the law of the land.The latest victim of this dangerous post-constitutional dogma is Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti.This is by far the most dangerous myth Americans must purge from our law and body politic if we ever hope to remain a free people. As part of a growing movement to push back against federal overreach‚ Tennessee lawmakers earlier this month introduced SB 2775‚ the Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act. The bill would empower all state and local government stakeholders to pursue a process barring the enforcement of unconstitutional federal laws within the Volunteer State. While similar bills empower only the state attorney general or legislature to interpret the Constitution‚ SB 2775 would leave that power in the hands of the whole people — as it was always meant to be.Here’s how it would work. The law would permit the governor to issue an executive order declaring a federal policy null and void. Or any member of the legislature could trigger a floor debate and vote to nullify the policy. Or any state court may find the policy unconstitutional if the question arises during a legitimate case or controversy. Or any combination of 10 local governing authorities — either through their respective executives or legislative branches — may submit a petition for nullification that would trigger a vote in the legislature. Or‚ last but not least‚ any group of 2‚000 registered voters could submit a similar petition triggering an automatic legislative vote on nullification.In other words‚ the bill underscores how we are all responsible for safeguarding the Constitution. When everyone understands the federal government frequently oversteps its boundaries‚ we have an obligation to push back. Constitutional confusionEnter Skrmetti‚ whose office last week declared SB 2775 “unconstitutional.” The attorney general’s argument isn’t new. He‚ like a great many of his colleagues‚ accepts the dual premise that the federal government is supreme to the states in constitutional interpretation and that‚ within the federal government‚ the judiciary is king. “Legislative action that vests the legislature itself with the authority to nullify unconstitutional federal action is not permissible because it arrogates to itself the power to interpret the law that properly belongs to the judiciary‚” the attorney general argued. “In short‚ under the Tennessee Constitution‚ the judicial branch alone has the power to determine the constitutionality of federal action.”Not so!Let’s begin with Skrmetti’s Supremacy Clause claim. True‚ states may not enact laws that are contrary to federal laws or the Constitution. But the Constitution only makes the federal government supreme when Congress passes and the president signs laws that accord with the charter’s enumerated powers. For example‚ Congress may place tariffs on imported goods because that is a power enumerated under Article 1‚ Section 8 of the Constitution. Just because a tariff might be unfair to some states under certain circumstances does not make the tariff unconstitutional. A state may lobby and complain‚ but the Constitution is clearly on the side of Congress. But what happens if the feds decide to force everyone in a state to wear a mask? Alexander Hamilton‚ the most ardent supporter of a strong national government among our founders‚ told us what he thought would happen in such a circumstance. “It will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the large society which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers‚ but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies‚ will become the supreme law of the land‚" Hamilton wrote in Federalist 33.Roger Sherman argued in a December 1787 letter that when the federal government would promulgate a regulation clearly beyond its jurisdiction‚ the states could easily push back without running to the courts. Sherman wrote: And tho' the general government in matters within its jurisdiction is paramount to the constitutions and laws of the particular States‚ yet all acts of the Congress not warranted by the constitution would be void. Nor could they be enforced contrary to the sense of a majority of the States. One excellency of the constitution is that when the government of the United States acts within its proper bounds it will be the interest of the legislatures of the particular States to support it‚ but when it overleaps those bounds and interferes with the rights of the State governments‚ they will be powerful enough to check it; but distinction between their jurisdictions will be so obvious‚ that there will be no great danger of interference.That sounds exactly like what SB 2775 seeks to reinforce. The most dangerous mythSkrmetti asserts that only the courts have the final say over constitutional arguments. He cites the Supreme Court’s 1958 decision in Cooper v. Aaron‚ which was ostensibly about desegregation but really a brazen assertion of judicial supremacy. “The basic principle that the federal judiciary is supreme in the exposition of the law of the Constitution‚” Chief Justice Earl Warren declared‚ is “a permanent and indispensable feature of our constitutional system.”Warren was wrong. The Supreme Court is not king. It does not have the last word. This is by far the most dangerous myth Americans must purge from our law and body politic if we ever hope to remain a free people. The very rationale undergirding the concept of the courts also having a say in constitutional interpretation (despite being unelected) — namely‚ that judges swear an oath to uphold the Constitution — is a repudiation of the idea of judicial supremacy. After all‚ every member of the federal and state government also swears an oath to the Constitution. The same way a federal judge can’t violate his oath by giving the force of law in a case or controversy to an unconstitutional law‚ an elected state or federal official cannot promulgate‚ fund‚ or enforce an edict of a court that violates the Constitution. Chief Justice John Marshall said in Marbury v. Madison that it would be “immoral” and “a crime” to issue an opinion contrary to the Constitution. “How immoral to impose it on them if they were to be used as the instruments‚ and the knowing instruments‚ for violating what they swear to support!” an indignant Marshall thundered in his most famous opinion. In defense of judicial review‚ Marshall asked‚ “Why does a judge swear to discharge his duties agreeably to the Constitution of the United States if that Constitution forms no rule for his government? If it is closed upon him and cannot be inspected by him?”This same argument comes back around when‚ for example‚ a federal judge issued a shocking ruling that Knoxville‚ Tennessee‚ school children had to wear a mask for seven hours a day. Nobody alive could justify that edict as a federal power — judicial‚ executive‚ legislative‚ or otherwise. State and county officials had an obligation to set that ruling aside the same way Marshall believed a court would be obliged to do if Congress passed a law forcing people to wear masks. Madison 1‚ Skrmetti 0How can one branch‚ particularly the life-tenured unelected branch‚ be the sole and final arbiters of the boundaries of its own powers as well as that of the states and other federal branches? As Thomas Jefferson admonished in his Kentucky Resolution of 1798‚ “The government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion‚ and not the Constitution‚ the measure of its powers.”The Congressional Research Service observed in a 2017 report that “early history of the United States is replete with examples of all three branches of the federal government playing a role in constitutional interpretation.” Members of Congress weren’t so complacent in their duties and‚ the CRS noted‚ never sat idly while allowing the courts to have “a final or even exclusive role in defining the basic powers and limits of the federal government.” Prior to the 20th century‚ most federal legislators subscribed to Madison’s view in Federalist 49 that “the several departments being perfectly co-ordinate by the terms of their common commission‚ neither of them‚ it is evident‚ can pretend to an exclusive or superior right of settling the boundaries between their respective powers.” Madison emphatically believed that “each [department] must in the exercise of its functions be guided by the text of the Constitution according to its own interpretation of it.”Skrmetti could not be more off target by citing the Tennessee State Constitution as rationale for obsequiously crowning the federal judiciary the sole expositors of the U.S. Constitution.In fact‚ Article 11‚ Section 16 of Tennessee’s constitution makes it clear that the state’s declaration of rights “shall never be violated on any pretense whatever.” So‚ what is the remedy when federal officials violate those rights? Cry to the courts and hope for the best? Nope. “To guard against transgression of the high powers we have delegated‚ we declare that every thing in the bill of rights contained‚ is excepted out of the General powers of government‚ and shall forever remain inviolate.” Perhaps Skrmetti could use a refresher course on his state’s constitution — and James Madison while he’s at it!

England's top health authority just came out against puberty blockers for children

England's top health authority just came out against puberty blockers for children

Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists‚ also called GnRHa drugs‚ have long been used to chemically castrate sex offenders. In recent years‚ these sex offender drugs were rebranded as puberty blockers and offered to confused children — despite ample evidence that such treatments create sexless adults‚ deplete victims' bone density‚ hamper cognitive development‚ and produce a myriad of adverse emotional effects. While these transmogrifying treatments remain legal in American blue states‚ across the Atlantic‚ resistance is growing among some early adopters. That's certainly the case in the United Kingdom‚ where England's top health authority has pumped the brakes on the victimization of children captive to the notion that their sex and gender are somehow misaligned. National Health Service England confirmed Tuesday that minors will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at so-called gender identity clinics. NHS England has been working up to this decision for years‚ having commissioned an independent expert review of gender identity services for minors in September 2020. The health service figured it was prudent to pursue such a review in light of the massive spike in referrals for minors to the Gender Identity Development Service run by the scandal-plagued and soon-to-be shuttered Tavistock clinic and the Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Whereas there were 250 referrals to the NHS' gender clinic in between 2011 and 2012‚ that number skyrocketed to over 5‚000 between 2021 and 2022. NHS England also noted at the outset of the review that "a significant number" of children seeking puberty blockers were mentally compromised and presenting with "other mental health needs and risky behaviors‚" prompting careful consideration and additional research. A policy document dated March 12 states‚ "Puberty suppressing hormones (PSH) are not available as a routine commissioning treatment option for treatment of children and young people who have gender incongruence / gender dysphoria." The document notes that "[g]ender atypical behavior is common among young children and may be part of normal development. ... Children who meet the criteria for gender incongruence / gender dysphoria may or may not continue to experience the conflict between their physical gender and the one with which they identify into adolescence and adulthood." In addition to recognizing that the supposed problem puberty blockers are supposed to resolve is often just a fleeting fad‚ the NHS noted that puberty blockers don't do what LGBT activists claim they do. The NHS-commissioned review found that across nine observational studies‚ "there was no statistically significant difference in gender dysphoria‚ mental health‚ body image and psychosocial functioning in children and adolescents treated with GnRHA." This finding resonates with the explosive Finnish study published last month in the esteemed journal BMJ Mental Health that found sex-change medical interventions "do not have an impact on suicide risk." Extra to noting that puberty blockers effectively don't help‚ the NHS noted that they can actually do considerable harm: "GnRHa may reduce the expected increase in lumbar or femoral bone density during puberty." "We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of PSH to make the treatment routinely available at this time‚" concluded NHS England. This announcement came just days after leaked internal documents from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health showed proponents of so-called gender-affirming care privately admit that sex-change medical interventions are often unethical and unscientific. The Independent reported that the NHS will be rolling out two new services‚ one in London and the other in Liverpool. Rather than sterilize children‚ these clinics will provide patients with access to mental health and pediatric health experts‚ "resulting in a holistic approach to care." The Conservative government applauded the decision. Health Minister and parliamentarian Maria Caulfield said she welcomed "this groundbreaking change as children's safety and well-being are paramount." Caulfield told the Independent‚ "Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence‚ expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child."

CNN host mounts surprising defense of Rep. Nancy Mace over her viral argument with George Stephanopoulos about Trump support

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt is defending Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) over viral argument with George Stephanopoulos.On Sunday‚ Stephanopoulos used the fact that Mace is a rape survivor to question her political support for Donald Trump. The suggestion implicit in his question was that Mace's support for Trump contradicts her experience as a rape victim because a civil jury found Trump liable of sexual abuse. That jury‚ contrary to Stephanopoulos' repeated assertions‚ did not find him liable for rape.On Monday‚ Hunt asked her fellow CNN host‚ Michael Smerconish‚ about the argument. But he admonished Mace for allegedly not answering Stephanopoulos' question."I'm sympathetic to her as a rape victim‚ but‚ despite the fact that she's a rape victim‚ she should have answered the question he was asking‚ which is: How can you‚ of all people‚ be comfortable supporting him?" Smerconish said.But Hunt disagreed. In fact‚ she explained why Mace objected to Stephanopoulos' question‚ identifying that its premise was problematic."Here's the thing where I get hung up on it‚ though‚ and I think this is what she was trying to say‚ is that just because she happens to be the victim of rape doesn’t mean that she needs to let that victimhood define her and her future choices — regardless of what anybody else thinks — about how she should feel about someone who commits those kinds of crimes‚" Hunt explained."Do you think it should be OK to let the rapist have that kind of power over her future life?" she asked rhetorically.And when Smerconish defended Stephanopoulos' question as "totally appropriate‚" Hunt pushed back again."Well‚ I mean‚ I think it's just that the fact that it was put in those terms: Like‚ as a rape victim‚ how could you?" she said. — (@) Mace confirmed on Monday that she will not be returning to ABC News in the near future."I won't be going back on ABC anytime soon. I told [Stephanopoulos] as I was walking out‚ 'Good effing luck getting me back on‚'" Mace recounted in an interview on NewsNation.Like Blaze News?

'Starving for hope': Tim Tebow urges Congress to fund tools to locate 'over 50‚000' child sex abuse victims

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow urged congressional hearing members to pass legislation that funds Homeland Security Investigations and other tools he said are needed to help locate missing children.In front of the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance‚ Tebow explained that the number of children who are missing and suffering from sexual abuse is more than twice what he had originally learned."20‚000 boys and girls that have been abused and raped‚ their images and videos have been captured‚ but nobody has been able to identify them‚ they're unknown until someone knows them‚" Tebow told lawmakers. After gathering with representatives of Homeland Security‚ Interpol‚ Google‚ and more‚ Tebow said that he quickly learned that the number "was over 50‚000.""How do we protect them? And that's where Operation Renewed Hope was born‚" he explained. The Tim Tebow Foundation recently announced that it had rescued hundreds of children after a three-week "surge" of investigations into child abuse. Through the operation‚ the foundation successfully located "311 probable identifications of previously unknown victims‚ including 14 positive contacts and confirmed the rescue of several victims from active abuse."The number was updated to 316 by the time of the hearing a week later. "Why would we not give as much if not more resources to the frontline heroes that are going after the most vulnerable boys and girls on the planet?" Tebow asked. "Operation Renewed Hope identified that 316‚ and out of all those that were rescued more than half of them were right here in the U.S.‚ and when you extrapolate those numbers that means that there's thousands of boys and girls that are starving for hope in our backyard and we have the chance to bring hope to those that are starving for it‚" he added. \u26a0\ufe0f Viewer Discretion Advised: \u201cVoice for the Voiceless\u201d House Judiciary Committee Hearing Testimony on behalf of child sexual abuse victims \n\nLast night‚ I got a message from a girl who has been rescued and she said‚ \u201cthank you so much for speaking up for us\u201d\u2026and it was\u2026 — (@) Tebow's foundation said that it hopes to build a bill for congressional approval that helps fund tools to locate missing children. Chief among these tools is the International Child Sexual Exploitation database‚ operated by Interpol.The system uses digital‚ visual‚ and audio content of photographs and videos to try and identify clues to where a child may be located. It also identifies overlaps in system data about any existing cases."Using image and video comparison software‚ investigators are instantly able to make connections between victims‚ abusers‚ and places‚" Interpol said.The former college football star's foundation is asking supporters to send a letter to Congress with a form's prewritten text revealing more about what the foundation hopes to achieve through legislation."The workforce fighting these crimes simply isn’t big enough ... It is imperative that Congress takes proactive measures to expand law enforcement's ability to identify child victims‚ investigate‚ and prosecute offenders at scale‚" the text read.The foundation urged Congress to support legislation that focuses "victim identification within law enforcement" and funding that deploys analysts internationally. Additionally‚ it asked to expand HSI and Interpol's training capabilities because "American victims' images are shared by computers around the world."Lastly‚ the foundation wishes to modernize the ICSE database to "keep pace" with the growing issue of child exploitation."The safety and well-being of our children must be a top priority‚ and I implore you to take meaningful action to address this urgent issue. These children are waiting‚" the form added.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

After Rhode Island court suspends most of illegal alien's 5-year child sex offense sentence‚ deportation agents nab him

After a Rhode Island court suspended most of an illegal alien's five-year sentence for indecent solicitation of a child‚ U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers last month went after and arrested the "unlawfully present" 45-year-old Nigerian citizen‚ ICE said.What are the details?The Nigerian citizen entered the U.S in New York‚ New York‚ on a non-immigrant tourist visa in May 2017‚ the agency said‚ adding that he violated the terms of his visa by remaining in the U.S. beyond the authorized time limit.Rhode Island State Police arrested the Nigerian in July 2019 on the charge of indecent solicitation of a child‚ ICE said.But after Rhode Island’s Providence Superior Court convicted the Nigerian national of the charge and sentenced him to five years in prison with six months of home confinement in May 2022‚ ICE said the court then suspended four and a half years of the sentence.More from the agency:Under Rhode Island state law‚ indecent solicitation of a child penalizes the conduct of soliciting a person under age 18‚ or someone the defendant believes is under age 18‚ to engage in various conduct related to child sexual abuse material; possession‚ creation or dissemination of obscene material; prostitution or any form of sexual conduct. Rhode Island law categorizes the offense as both a felony and a sex offense.After becoming aware of the convicted sex offender’s presence‚ deportation officers with ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations arm in Boston located and arrested him without incident on Feb.15 in Rumford‚ Rhode Island‚ the agency said.“Rhode Island is safer with this noncitizen sexual offender off of the streets‚” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons said‚ according to ICE. “His presence in the community posed a threat to public safety. ERO Boston remains committed to prioritizing the removal of egregious predators from our New England communities.”The convicted sex offender will be held in ICE custody pending a hearing before an immigration judge with the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review‚ the agency said. ICE indicated that the EOIR is a separate entity from the Department of Homeland Security and ICE‚ adding that immigration judges in these courts make rulings based on the merits of each individual case‚ determining if a noncitizen is subject to a final order of removal or eligible for certain forms of relief from removal.Like Blaze News?

WATCH: Riley Gaines shares never-before-told details about Lia Thomas with Joe Rogan

Just last week‚ Riley Gaines joined Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to discuss the intimate details of her time competing against trans swimmer Lia Thomas. At the National Championship‚ “we were told we fully had to treat this person as a woman‚” said Gaines. But most people already knew that. What they might not know is who else was competing in the same tournament. “We had another athlete who was transitioning‚ but this athlete is a female who was then self-identifying as a man ... and we were told we fully had to treat this person as a man‚” she explained. Of the “top eight women in the entire country‚ you've got a 6’ 4" man in a women's swimsuit with the bulge next to a woman wearing only a speedo with nothing covering her top.” “This is the freakin’ twilight zone‚” Gaines told Rogan‚ who looked horrified. Playing along with gender politics only lasted for so long‚ though. The day after Thomas “swam the 500 freestyle and won a national title‚ beating out Olympians ... [and] American record-holders ... by body lengths‚” Gaines had to compete against him in the 200 freestyle. “We get on the blocks‚ dive off‚ swim eight laps of freestyle‚ touch the ball at the end. I look up at the scoreboard‚ and almost impossibly enough‚ Joe‚ we had gone the exact same time‚ meaning‚ of course‚ we had tied‚” said Gaines. “You can’t tell me that’s not divine intervention.” However‚ when the two went to the award podium‚ something utterly incomprehensible happened. “The official looks at both of us and says‚ ‘Great job you two‚ but you tied and we only have one trophy‚ so we're gonna give the trophy to Lia‚'" Gaines said‚ as a look that can only be described as flabbergasted spread over Rogan’s face. Gaines’ first words upon hearing this were‚ “Isn't this everything that Title 9 was passed to prevent from happening?” But‚ of course‚ the presenter didn’t have an answer — not a legitimate one anyway. “We’re actually just doing this in chronological order‚” was his first excuse. Not his smoothest answer‚ as “G comes before T‚” Gaines said‚ which she pointed out to the man. “Finally‚ he realized that he didn't have a justification ... This official looked at me and said‚ ‘Riley‚ I am so sorry‚ but we have been advised as an organization that when photos are being taken‚ it's crucial that the trophy is in Lia’s hands ... Lia takes the trophy home‚”’ but “‘we can eventually mail you one.”’ To hear more‚ watch the clip below.

Congress moves to address postal carriers' safety concerns amid nationwide robbery trend

Congress will introduce new legislation Wednesday that aims to address postal carriers' safety concerns amid a nationwide robbery trend‚ the Associated Press reported.Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.)‚ the legislation's lead sponsor in the House‚ will introduce the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act this week to respond to a recent uptick in robberies targeting postal workers. TOMORROW \u27a1\ufe0f the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act will be introduced in Congress to protect letter carriers from violent crime while they are on the job. #EnoughIsEnough — (@) Fitzpatrick stated that the bipartisan legislation "provides resources to protect our dedicated postal service workers while making sure we are punishing criminals to the fullest extent of the law‚" the AP reported. If passed‚ it would speed up the replacement of the U.S. Postal Service's mailbox keys‚ known as "arrow keys‚" with electronic versions to deter thieves. According to the AP‚ the updated keys will have no value to crooks.According to Brian Renfroe‚ the president of the National Association of Letter Carriers‚ the bill would also require 93 U.S. attorneys to assign a prosecutor to pursue postal crimes. Renfroe noted that the legislation will reexamine sentencing guidelines for various postal crimes.Renfroe addressed NALC members and supporters in Oklahoma City last month about the uptick in robberies‚ calling the incidents "unacceptable ... appalling ... and out of control.""Nearly every day‚ we learn of another incident of violence against a letter carrier‚" he stated. "Targeted armed robbery‚ assault‚ shootings — and yes‚ even murder — has become part of our job."According to records obtained from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and reviewed by the AP‚ postal carrier robberies increased 30% last year‚ and the number of robberies that resulted in injury doubled.USPS spokesperson Jeff Adams told the news outlet that letter carrier robberies dropped 19% over the past five months. He noted that there has been a 73% increase in arrests for letter carrier robberies so far in fiscal year 2024.Postmaster General Louis DeJoy stated‚ "We have been unrelenting in our pursuit of criminals who target postal employees and the U.S. mail. The efforts of our postal inspectors and law enforcement partners have yielded positive results."At a rally held in Jacksonville‚ Jim Thigpenn‚ the president of the USPS North Florida Branch 53‚ explained that the attacks on postal carriers are not random."Every single neighborhood [has been affected]; we've had situations where it happened on the Northside‚ and then a half hour later‚ it happened on the Westside in one day‚" he explained. "This is just not tied to a certain side of town or anything like that. It's more of a targeted type of situation."Like Blaze News?
