“According to sources familiar with the incident, they did not trust him and wanted to keep a close eye on him throughout the flight. Sources also say United wanted to terminate Mossallam’s employment, but the pilots’ union blocked the move.”

WHY IS ACADEMIA SUCH A CESSPIT OF ANTISEMITISM?

THEY’RE AWFL, OF COURSE THEIR TAKE IS BIZARRE:  Latest White Female Liberal Trend on the Cornell 7 Story Is Bizarre.

Ladies, you don’t know s**t about the case, just like you didn’t know anything about Clancy. Also, discussing a brutal, violent crime among those who play and make clay snakes is weird.

JUST DO IT: President Trump Approves Execution of Fort Hood Mass Murderer Nidal Hassan. “Hasan — who laughably acted as his own attorney — was tried and found guilty in 2013 and sentenced to death. Now, finally, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has requested permission and President Trump has approved the execution of the useless oxygen thief who’s been needlessly living at taxpayer expense for the last 17 years.”
