Once a glistening beacon of the future, full of scientific and aeronautics companies, Seattle has fallen on rough times. Close to 40 percent of the office space within the city now lays vacant.
And if you think Seattle is hurting now, wait until you hear what the nutball Democratic mayor Katie Wilson, a self-described Democratic socialist, wants to do next. These people never learn. Here’s more from Glenn Beck.
The sixth American president, John Quincy Adams, served as the driving force behind the creation of the Smithsonian Institution in 1846, drawing upon funding left by British scientist James Smithson for the “increase and diffusion of knowledge.”
But has the Smithsonian Institution served its intended purpose, or has it served as a center for the spread of historical inaccuracies and false timelines? Are there vast periods of the past that have been buried and remain now largely forgotten?
Here, researcher James L. gets into an extended discussion with Mel K, addressing some of the lore that’s been shuffled aside. There’s talk of giants who stood eight to nine feet tall, as well as a Grand Canyon now buried. Much of the focus is on the mysterious mounds that once dotted the North American continent — estimated to have been constructed from 1,000 to 9,000 years ago. Hang onto your hats for this edition of The Mel K Show.
Boeing airplanes are falling out of the sky like raindrops, once again shining the not-so-bright spotlight on the aerospace manufacturing giant.
Ry Dawson reports that two more Boeing planes went down earlier this week, in addition to several close calls in recent months, prompting a former inspector to spill the beans.
Merle Myers, a former quality-control manager and 30-year employee of the company said there were many instances when scrap parts ended up on the assembly line. He added that employees at the factories would hide defective parts from inspectors, then bring them back to the assembly line after they left. Of course, the parts would end up on the planes!
Dawson digs into the details and the consequences for Boeing.
The first manned spaceflight of Boeing’s Starliner capsule last week was scrubbed due to a defective valve. But Bill Whittle says that looking at it on the launching pad, it’s hard to avoid getting a distinctly 20th-century vibe.
The SpaceX Dragon capsule, meanwhile, looks like it’s from the future. So the question isn’t whether or not the Strainer will succeed, the question is whether or not it deserves to succeed. “Right Angle” colleagues Scott Ott and Stephen Green join Whittle to debate the issue.
The lifecycle of Boeing whistleblowers..keeps getting shorter by the day. Here’s more from Awaken with JP.
A Boeing whistleblower says that the 787 Dreamliner planes could “break apart,” prompting an investigation from the Federal Aviation Administration. The whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, says he worked at Boeing for more than a decade.
He says that he submitted documents to the FAA, showing that the fuselage can come apart in several places because the pieces are made “from different manufacturers, and they are not exactly the same shape where they fit together.”
Like Ikea furniture!? Boeing refutes this obviously. Here’s more from Clayton and Natalie Morris at Redacted.
