Spirit Airlines said that a plane attempting to land in Haiti was diverted to the Dominican Republican after it was hit by gunfire and one person was injured. 'We have suspended our service at Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Cap-Haitien (CAP) pending further evaluation.' The budget airline said Flight 951 had departed on Monday from Fort Lauderdale and was to land at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, but it instead landed in Santiago after being struck several times by gunfire. One of the bullets grazed a flight attendant, who sustained minor injuries. The plane also sustained damage consistent with gunfire, according to the airline. None of the passengers were injured, and the flight attendant was evaluated by medical personnel. Other flights into Haiti were grounded. "The safety of our Guests and Team Members is our top priority, and we have suspended our service at Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Cap-Haitien (CAP) pending further evaluation," read a statement from the airline. Haiti has been rocked by a civil war after the government fell and violent criminal gangs battled for control of the island nation. Haitian refugees absorbed into the U.S. became an emotional talking point in the November election as President-elect Donald Trump criticized the lax immigration policies of the Biden administration. Images and video of the damage to the plane can be viewed at the New York Post channel on YouTube. Like Blaze News?

As Donald Trump prepares to take his place as president of the United States for the second time, liberals are freaking out. And rightfully so, as their rejection of common sense on a policy level is about to come to an end. Trump calls this a “mandate to bring common sense back to the country,” which he plans to kick off by making the border safe and secure and initiating mass deportations of illegal immigrants who squeezed through the border when it was open. Trump even called New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and while the details of their conversation are unknown, Adams has reportedly already revoked illegal immigrants' food cards. “He’s just racking up W’s,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments. “He’s not even in office yet.” But that’s not all. Almost immediately after Trump’s win, Hamas called for a ceasefire. “Hamas just saw that he won and Hamas was like, ‘All right, OK, ceasefire, we give, oh s**t, we don’t want to deal with Donald Trump,’” Gonzales says, adding, “The same thing happened with the Ukraine-Russia war.” “Just the day after his landslide victory, Putin congratulated Donald Trump,” she continues, “He said Donald Trump’s remarks on ending the war deserved attention. Because finally, we have a president who’s talking about ending the war rather than continuing it and just funneling our money until they don’t need it anymore.” It’s not just Trump’s eagerness to solve the problems the Biden-Harris administration created that’s impressive but how quickly he’s making changes despite not being in office yet. “He hasn’t been in office for almost four years, he hasn’t set foot back in the White House yet, and he’s already elevated the first woman to chief of staff, he’s making mass deportation a top priority, he’s warning against the weaponization of the DOJ, and he’s already begun the process of ending wars on multiple fronts,” Gonzales explains. “I’m sure you guys can tell in my eyes, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” she continues, adding, “We’re not living in total darkness anymore. The demons have been put on notice.” Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred take to news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Leftists this holiday season should feel free to stay away from family and friends who voted for President-elect Donald Trump in order to take care of their "mental health," a Yale psychiatry resident told MSNBC host Joy Reid on Friday. Reid asked Dr. Amanda Calhoun, “How do you interact with people who you know voted for this? If you are an LGBTQ person and know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you’re a woman knowing this man was calling people the B-word. [Vice President-elect] JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris 'the trash' and said we’re going to take out 'the trash.' I know a lot of black women were incredibly triggered by that." 'And if you feel like you need to establish boundaries with people, whether they're your family or not, I think you should very much be entitled to do so.' Reid continued, "And if you then meet somebody, and you know they voted for the people who called you trash, or if you’re Puerto Rican ... and you know someone voted that way, do you recommend just from a psychological standpoint being around them? We got the holidays coming up.” Calhoun replied that there is a "societal" expectation that "if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not. So if you are going to a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you — like what you said, against your livelihood — and it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. You know, to say, 'I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not gonna be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.'" Calhoun added that she doesn't believe anyone should be forced "to be around people just because they're your family. ... And if you feel like you need to establish boundaries with people, whether they're your family or not, I think you should very much be entitled to do so. And I think it may be essential for your mental health.” — (@) Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
