BELFAST HARD LANDING: NOSE WHEEL COLLAPSE SHUTS AIRPORT

An Aer Lingus regional flight's nose wheel collapsed during a hard landing in stormy conditions at Belfast City Airport.

The positioning flight, carrying only four crew members, prompted emergency responses and closed the runway for the day.

An Aer Lingus regional flight had its nose wheel collapse during a landing at Belfast City Airport, forcing the runway to close for the remainder of the day.

The flight, operated by Emerald Airlines, was a "positioning flight" with no passengers onboard, only four crew members.

The hard landing was attributed to severe weather conditions, with winds reaching up to 70 mph, which have been disrupting travel across the UK.

Several flights were redirected to Belfast International Airport, now nearing capacity.

⚡️Ahmed Al-Sharaa during his meeting with the Druze and Walid Jumblatt:

The people of the Levant are peaceful and too simple to engage in cultural and historical conflicts that have nothing to do with them!

Some come to take revenge on the people of the Levant for events that happened 1,400 years ago! What is our connection to that? We did not kill those people!

The irony, and the tragic comedy of events, is that Iran manipulates people’s emotions with slogans to occupy lands and countries, using the Palestinian cause on one hand and historical events on the other, with the result always being Arab capitals falling into Iran’s hands.

The international community has failed to resolve the Syrian crisis for 13 years. We have taken a different path from other nations because we are convinced that people can only claim their rights with their own hands.

🚨🇸🇾 SYRIA’S DRUG TRADE: ASSAD’S OUT, BUT THE CRISIS LIVES ON

HTS Rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa declared Syria “the biggest producer of Captagon on earth” and vowed to clean house.

Captagon, aka “poor man’s cocaine,” made $5.6 billion a year while turning the Middle East into its personal rehab waiting room.

Videos show Assad’s military bases packed with pills like a Breaking Bad spinoff no one asked for.

The trade devastated countries like Saudi Arabia and Jordan, where addiction ran rampant.

Experts aren’t optimistic.

Cracking down on supply might push users to crystal meth, which is basically Captagon’s angrier cousin.

Syria’s economy thrived on this dirty cash for years.

Rebels promise change, but will they stop new kingpins from stepping into Assad’s shoes?

Or is the sequel already in production?

Syrians, Since all Western countries demand that Syrians protect minorities, women’s rights, and promote alcohol consumption, here are some tips inspired from the West that you should implement:

• Accuse minorities of terrorism and attack them in your Syrian media day and night.

• Promote OnlyFans among girls and make education non-free, forcing them to sell themselves to cover study expenses.

• You can’t only recognize two genders, male and female; you must teach your children that there are more than 3,000 genders.

• Kidnap children from minorities and give them to majority families under the pretext of domestic violence.

• Syrians should contribute to women’s rights in Palestine by bombing Palestinians in Gaza and killing at least 20,000 women.

• Spread a culture of alcohol consumption so that you end up with more car accidents and a higher number of homeless people. And more domestic violence.

•Don’t forget the man: amend divorce laws and provide incentives for women to divorce their husbands, so the state treasury benefits.

Starlink also swooped into disaster zones faster than a cape-clad superhero, while connecting millions in underserved countries and turning luxury yachts into floating Wi-Fi hotspots.

The military labeled the violence “political terrorism,” while rights groups criticized the move as a heavy-handed response to dissent.

Khan, now in jail, insists the charges against him are politically motivated.

His PTI party, which won the most seats in the 2024 elections, has been sidelined by a coalition seen as closer to military interests.

🇺🇸 WHAT IS THE U.S. DEBT CEILING? IT'S LIKE MAXING OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD, BUT FOR NATIONS

The debt ceiling is the U.S. government’s borrowing limit—a cap on how much IOU Uncle Sam can issue to keep the lights on.

It was born in 1917 during WWI, is Congress’s cap on how much Uncle Sam can borrow.

Think maxing out a national credit card.

It doesn’t greenlight new spending; it just ensures the U.S. pays its bills.

When the Treasury hits the limit, it uses “extraordinary measures” (creative accounting) to avoid default.

Since 1960, Congress has raised or suspended it 78 times, always at the eleventh hour.

🇯🇵JAPAN IS TESTING THE 4-DAY WORKWEEK TO FIX ITS POPULATION CRISIS

Japan is betting that a 4-day workweek can tackle its plummeting birth rate and aging population.

Starting in April, the initiative offers shorter work hours and more flexibility for parents to balance childcare and careers.

The idea: lighter schedules could reduce stress and encourage families to have more children.

While studies suggest this might improve housework equity, Japan’s cultural reliance on women for unpaid labor raises questions about its broader impact.

This bold experiment may not solve the crisis overnight, but it highlights the urgent need for structural change.

This step, according to the General Command, aligns with the aspirations of the Syrian people to establish peace and stability.

The new administration, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, has shown a willingness to engage diplomatically, focusing on reconstruction and economic development.

The future of Syria remains uncertain, with questions about whether the Islamist rebel group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), will push for strict Islamic rule or opt for a more democratic approach.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: SENATE GREENLIGHTS PLAN C TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT FUNDED—FINALLY

After missing the midnight deadline and sparking a brief government shutdown, the Senate passed a stopgap bill early Saturday to keep federal operations running through March.

Yes, it took three tries to get here.

The bill includes disaster relief and farming aid but dodges Trump’s push to suspend the debt ceiling—because heaven forbid Congress tackles a big issue head-on.

“Plan C” came after a bipartisan plan ignored GOP priorities and a Trump-backed proposal was torpedoed in the House.

Looks like Washington chose the path of least resistance, leaving Trump’s call for a long-term fix on hold.

I guess Congress is saying "Why solve a problem today when you can kick it down the road until March?"

Biden says he’ll sign the bill, sending everyone home for the holidays—because who needs another political meltdown before Christmas?
