We came seconds away from another 9/11 — and we’re still ignoring the warning signs.
We’ve had alleged Iranian agents try to bomb a U.S. base in the United Kingdom — and now an Omani co-pilot try to 9/11 an airliner. So what’s next?
This hijacking may have been just the start of a larger plot..
Former Israeli Special Forces commander Doron Kempel says the passengers’ ability to stop the hijacker and get control of a plane falling out of the sky was attributed to one thing. WATCH:
Yet America continues to turn a blind eye to Islamist terrorism, and it’s not going to end well.

Yesterday WGN Chicago reported this as an "altercation between two pilots" is there any way you guys can set them straight on that ? I watch News Nation for national news but WGN for local. I can't tell you how upsetting it was for me to see them buying into that absurd narrative of "altercation" rather than standing up like real human beings with an actual HUGE story. If they don't correct that I'm going to stop watching them. If I can't trust them to call a hijacking a hijacking, how can I trust them to tell me anything else? And worse, how can I believe them if they say something is about to happen? They lost my confidence by buying into such a preposterous narrative. Can you intervene? I have a screenshot. Thanks, your loyal subscriber, Stacey

We are being lulled to sleep and unfortunately, all the AI talk and over saturated coverage has taken the oxygen out of the room.
