Fact Check: Yes, Obama and Biden Had FAA Hire People with Intellectual, Psychiatric, Severe Physical Disabilities
The recent collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army helicopter has raised concerns about air traffic control hiring practices. Critics point to the FAA's history of prioritizing diversity and inclusion over merit, which has led to a shortage of qualified air traffic controllers and potential safety risks.

The Biden administration has faced lawsuits over discriminatory hiring practices, while the Trump administration aimed to reverse these policies in favor of merit-based hiring. As investigations into the crash unfold, the implications of these hiring practices on safety are under scrutiny.

Why Is Bezos Still Banning The Book That Exposed Trans Insanity?
Amazon continues to ban Ryan Anderson's book, "When Harry Became Sally," despite claims from Big Tech of a shift toward less censorship of conservative views. The book critiques gender ideology, which has faced increasing scrutiny as societal norms evolve.

Restoring Anderson's book would signal a commitment to free speech and a balanced cultural debate. As discussions around gender and identity intensify, it's crucial for platforms like Amazon to uphold diverse perspectives rather than yield to activist pressures.

Fox News: Drinking dairy-free milk can raise depression risk, says study, as doctor disagrees
Drinking dairy-free milk can raise depression risk, says study, as doctor disagrees
A recent UK Biobank study suggests that consuming dairy-free milk alternatives may be linked to a higher risk of depression. It found that those who drank full cream milk had a lower risk of depression compared to those who opted for non-dairy options.

However, experts point out potential flaws in the study, noting that when calorie intake was considered, the increased risk disappeared. They also highlighted that participants consuming plant-based milks often had lower body mass indices, which could indicate underlying eating disorders. Nutritionists advise maintaining a balanced diet to support mental health.
