by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News: This past Sunday (June 9, 2024) Saudi Arabia made the historical move to not renew an 80-year-old agreement with the United States that established the U.S. Dollar as the world currency to purchase Saudi oil, in what should have been headline news, but seems to have been blacklisted in […]

According to an internal memo obtained by Bloomberg, a Southwest Airlines commercial flight came within 400 feet of crashing into the ocean near Hawaii. Weather conditions forced the pilots to bypass a landing attempt, the outlet said. “The Boeing Co. 737 Max 8 jet briefly dropped at an abnormally high rate of more than 4,000 feet per minute before the flight crew pulled up to avoid disaster, according to a memo that Southwest distributed to pilots last week, which was seen by Bloomberg News,” Bloomberg stated. “No one was injured on the flight, which safely returned to its departure airport in Honolulu,” the outlet added.

It also comes as Southwest management faces growing pressure from activist firm Elliott Investment Management and other investors over frustrations with the company’s lagging financial performance and insular corporate culture. “Nothing is more important to Southwest than safety,” the airline said in an emailed statement about the Hawaii flight. “Through our robust Safety Management System, the event was addressed appropriately as we always strive for continuous improvement.” Southwest Flight 2786 dropped from an altitude of roughly 1,000 feet to 400 feet above the ocean in just a few seconds, according to data from ADS-B Exchange, a flight tracking website. The plane, which was near Lihue Airport on the island of Kauai, then began a rapid climb.

Given the flight time, the captain put the “newer” first officer in command, according to the memo. The pilot decided to abort the landing as the plane approached the airport because weather conditions blocked the view of the runway. The first officer “inadvertently” pushed forward on the controls while monitoring the thrust level which moves based on the plane’s automatic throttle, the memo said. To compensate, the pilot cut the speed which caused the airplane to rapidly descend and sounded alarms. The captain ordered the first officer to increase thrust, causing the plane to “aggressively” climb at 8,500 feet per minute, the memo said. The plane returned to Honolulu where it landed safely. Darby told Bloomberg that flights descend gradually at roughly 1,500 to 2,000 feet per minute as they approach their destination, reaching 800 feet once within five miles of the airport.

The House of Representatives included a measure within this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would automatically register men aged 18 to 26 for selective service. “For the first time since 1972, the NDAA bill passed today by the House would automatically register all males age 18-26 for Selective Service in the Military. For the past 52 years, males were required to register on their own, but compliance had reportedly been lagging,” journalist Michael Tracey wrote. Wow!

Breaking News: The House of Representatives has passed a measure today that will automatically register men between the ages of 18 and 26 for selective service as part of the annual (NDAA) The bill passed by a vote of 217 to 199 The bill now heads to the Senate Via: Fox News pic.twitter.com/dgaPDk6a3a — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) June 14, 2024 Per Fox News: While it hasn’t been invoked in over half a century, it’s mandatory for all male U.S. citizens to register for the selective service, also known as the military draft, when they turn 18. Failure to register is classified as a felony and comes with a host of legal challenges. Supporters of the amendment argue that it would cut down on bureaucratic red tape and help U.S. citizens avoid unnecessary legal issues, as well as cutting down on the taxpayer dollars going toward prosecuting those cases. It was led by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., and passed in the House Armed Services Committee’s version of the NDAA in May. The NDAA advanced through the committee in an overwhelming 57 to 1 vote. “By using available federal databases, the [Selective Service] agency will be able to register all of the individuals required and thus help ensure that any future military draft is fair and equitable,” Houlahan said during debate last month, according to Defense News. “This will also allow us to rededicate resources — basically that means money — towards reading readiness and towards mobilization … rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people.” BREAKING: The House of Representatives has just passed a bill mandating the automatic registration of young men between the ages of 18 and 26 for the Selective Service System.

NBC News reports: It includes a 19.5% pay raise for junior enlisted service members and bigger allowances for food and housing. But the bill was also amended to include a provision that would “prohibit the Secretary of Defense from paying for or reimbursing expenses relating to abortion services” — undoing a policy the Biden administration put in place in 2022. It echoes last year’s widely condemned protest by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., who blocked military promotions for months in a failed bid to pressure the Pentagon to revoke its policy of paying travel expenses related to abortions. While the NDAA passed out of the Armed Services Committee on an overwhelmingly bipartisan 57-1 vote, House Republicans then added several conservative amendments along party lines over the last two days once the bill made it to the House floor, making it controversial. That includes an amendment that would permanently freeze hiring for diversity, equity and inclusion (or DEI) jobs within the Defense Department and eliminate the department’s position of chief diversity officer. It would also bar the Tricare health care program from providing gender transition surgeries.
