A.F.Branco Cartoon – When Pope Francis said, “Conservatism is a suicidal attitude,” he insulted millions of Christians around the world, both Protestants and Catholics. As a known socialist/Communist, one wonders if he isn’t lending his ear to darker spiritual forces. Commie Pope Francis Tells 60 Minutes that Conservativism Is “A Suicidal Attitude” (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft – May 17, 2024 During his homily, Red Francis preached that “sharing ownership is not communism but is pure Christianity.” Of course, that was complete nonsense. Sharing ownership is exactly the definition of communism. In January 2022 Pope Francis lectured to tax authorities that taxation is “a necessary tool for wealth redistribution.” Rush Limbaugh was right way back in 2013 when called this pope a Marxist.

A Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300 ran into severe turbulence on its flight from London to Singapore on Tuesday, resulting in one death and at least 30 injuries. Flight SQ 321 was diverted to Bangkok after hitting turbulence and landed at 3:45 p.m. local time, the BBC reported. There were 211 passengers and 18 crew aboard the aircraft. It remains unclear if the person who died was a passenger or part of the crew. Airline tracking data showed that Flight SQ 321 dropped around 6,000 feet after hitting an air pocket, according to The Guardian. The airline confirmed the incident in a statement posted to social media. “Singapore Airlines offers its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased,” the airline said. “Our priority is to provide all possible assistance to all passengers and crew on board the aircraft,” the airline added. “We are working with the local authorities in Thailand to provide the necessary medical assistance, and sending a team to Bangkok to provide any additional assistance needed.” Singapore Airlines didn’t specify how many people had been injured in the incident, but multiple outlets have reported that 30 people were hurt. Thai authorities and first responders were on the scene after the Singapore Airlines plane landed at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. Turbulence occurs when an aircraft is hit with “an irregular motion of the air resulting from eddies and vertical currents,” according to the National Weather Service. Turbulence is common for all commercial flights and can happen anywhere regardless of weather conditions, but it can be “associated with fronts, wind shear, thunderstorms, etc.,” NWS says. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Severe” is the second most intense form of turbulence an aircraft can encounter. It results in “large, abrupt changes in altitude and/or attitude,” which can also cause the aircraft to “be momentarily out of control.” Only “Extreme” turbulence is worse and results in an aircraft being “violently tossed about and practically impossible to control.”

Established in 1877, the Westminster Kennel Club is the oldest club dedicated to dogs. The Westminster Dog Show began on May 8, 1877, and television filming of this prestigious dog show began in 1948. It is the second-longest-running sporting event and the longest nationally televised live dog show. The number-one event is the Kentucky Derby, which began in 1875. The Westminster Dog Show switched back to a Champions-only competition. To compete, a dog must qualify with 15 points to win the title of “Champion.” Points accumulate at AKC-sanctioned dog shows over a period of time. Many people think “show dogs” are always all business and on display. It surprised a few viewers when they acted like regular dogs on the sidelines. @tatekmitchell Taking a break from foster pup content to appreciate the top knotch show pups being pups! #westminsterdogshow ♬ som original – Long Live Rock and Roll The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon was running circles around its handler, knocking them off-balance at one point. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever was lying calmly, getting some relaxing scritches. After each had some belly rubs, the Weimaraner and the Vizsla had an impromptu wrestling match. The Tibetan Mastiff was getting feisty, snatching treats while adding extra training time. The Great Pyrenees was busy playing patty-paws with its petite handler. After that, they seemed to be playing “I got your nose.” Image from TikTok. Handlers use every trick to keep their dogs calm during a show. For some breeds, that is a simple belly rub. For others, it might be a playful wrestling match with a neighboring dog. All Dogs At The Westminster Dog Show Are Champions Westminster Week includes several different shows and almost 3,000 dogs of all breeds from around the world. The annual Westminster Dog Show is a conformation competition. A conformation show judges each dog on how it conforms to the “ideal specimen” for that breed. A miniature dachshund might compete alongside a Great Dane. Judging is by how it conforms to its breed rather than by comparison. Image from TikTok. Once a dog achieves a champion ranking, they can enter the Westminster Dog Show. The week also includes two additional events: the Masters Agility Championship and the Masters Obedience Championship. Both Masters programs permit dogs from any background to compete. It is no secret that show dogs spend hours training with their handler every day. But when it is time for them to “let their hair down,” they are just like any “regular” dog. They love playtime, cuddles, scritches, and belly rubs. Handlers will use these activities to reduce their dog’s anxiety levels. We hope you enjoyed learning about the prestigious Westminster Dog Show and watching the dogs “let loose” on the sidelines.
