Emirates Flight Catering, a division of the Emirates Group which also owns Emirates Airline, is to open a dedicated Kosher food production facility at its factory on the edge of Dubai International Airport (DXB) in the United Arab Emirates. The announcement comes just days after Israel and the UAE signed formal treaties to normalize diplomatic…

When many people think about the virtues of our Constitution, they first mention the Bill of Rights. That makes sense. The great guarantees of the Bill of Rights—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms, just to name the first few—are critical safeguards of liberty. But as President Reagan used to remind people, the Soviet Union had a constitution too, and it even included some lofty-sounding rights. Ultimately, however, those promises were just empty words, because there was no rule of law to enforce them.

The Israel-United Arab Emirates deal will be felt throughout the region.

I have followed the Middle East for too long to ever write the sentence “the region will never be the same again.” The forces of sectarianism, tribalism, corruption and anti-pluralism run deep there. But there are other currents — young men and women who are just so tired of the old game, the old fights, the old wounds being stoked over and over again. You could see them demonstrating all over the streets of Beirut last week demanding good governance and a chance to realize their full potential.
The U.A.E. and Israel and the U.S. on Thursday showed — at least for one brief shining moment — that the past does not always have to bury the future, that the haters and dividers don’t always have to win.
It was a breath of fresh air. May it one day soon turn into a howling wind of change that spreads across the whole region.
Black Lives Matter has been responsible for the lion’s share of destruction, violence, and mayhem this year and an independent research group now has the numbers to prove it.
The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit organization with a focus on global conflict, collected data over the summer supported by Princeton University. As the Federalist’s Joy Pullman reported, ACLED found that of the hundreds of riots that occurred this year, 95 percent were found to have perpetrators that that had an affiliation with Black Lives Matter:
Of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter activists. Data for 51 incidents lack information about the perpetrators’ identities. BLM activists were involved in 95 percent of the riots for which there is information about the perpetrators’ affiliation.
Early estimates from insurance agencies say the cost of this summer’s rioting will set a record surpassing that of the 1992 Rodney King riots, which cost an inflation-adjusted $1.2 billion.
To win, all Biden has to do is stand up and say this... "I promise to leave you alone to live your life in peace." That's all.

We don’t want him to be forgotten.
For the 2020 season, we unite as one and will wear a single name on the back of our helmets – Antwon Rose Jr.
Rose had attempted to murder a man using a stolen weapon earlier. He was legitimately stopped. He fled police as he was being arrested. He was shot. The officer was tried for homicide. The jury deliberated for three and one-half hours and acquitted the officer on all charges.
There was no racism, systemic or otherwise, in Rose’s death. //

The Steelers announced the team would honor Antwon Rose, who was killed by a police officer, on their helmets. But Alejandro Villanueva instead honored Alwyn Cashe, who died of injuries suffered pulling fellow soldiers out of a burning vehicle in Iraq.

WHY? And why United?
You have to see it to believe the scale.
We’ve all seen situations where aircraft have to dump fuel before returning to an airport. //
the Boeing 757 is different. Its maximum allowable take-off weight is similar to its maximum allowable landing weight. The 757 isn’t alone. Have you ever heard of a Boeing 717, 737, or an Airbus A300, A310, or A320 having to dump fuel before returning to an airport?
There is a little blurring around the edges here. Any aircraft that needs to return is going to take a certain amount of time to turn around and line up for an approach. Fuel will get burnt off. Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) are rules prescribed by the United States’ Federal Aviation Administration. To avoid installing a fuel dumping capability, FAR25 states that an aircraft type must be capable of returning to an airport within 15 minutes of takeoff. //
You also need to note that the Boeing 757 is a substantially smaller plane than the 777, 747, and A380. Packed tight, a 757-300 could carry up to approximately 290 passengers and has a maximum allowable take-off weight of 124 tonnes.
In contrast, the Boeing 747-400 can carry up to 416 passengers and has a maximum allowable take-off weight of nearly 397 tonnes. The A380 is even larger.

"I think we gotta cheer President Trump's style.". //
During an interview on Newsmax TV, [former Director of National Intelligence Richard] Grenell told Spicer & Co. that only an outsider like Trump could change the “calculus” in the Middle East that could lead to the signing of historic deals between Israel and its Muslim neighbors, most of which at one time or another have vowed to “push Israel into the sea.”
“Today a historical agreement would not happen if not for the fact Donald Trump is an outsider. If you play by the Washington, D.C., rules, you don’t get to this point because you listen to the Europeans on, say, the JCPOA Iran deal [aka Obama’s Iran nuclear deal].
“The Iran deal was really a bad deal for America.”
Grenell told host Sean Spicer that Trump’s decision to decertify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was misrepresented by the American media. (Try to control your shock and amazement.)
“The Europeans complained, but many Arab governments cheered, and our media really missed that. They weren’t able to get that nuance. They just immediately went with the criticism of the Europeans.” //
Omar Ghobash, who serves as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) assistant minister for public and cultural diplomacy.
In response to a question from Fox News anchor Bret Baier about how much credit he gives Trump for the historic deals, Ghobash said:
“It is a truly remarkable achievement — even for us, citizens of the Arab world looking out. It is a remarkable achievement and it comes in a particular context which is incredibly important —we in the Emirates have been trying to push an agenda of communication, engagement, dialogue, tolerance. And this in the wake of the terror that ISIS wrought right across the region.
“And so, to find a U.S. Administration that takes us up on that and assists us in coming to peace with the Israelis, this is the first peace between an Arab state and the Israelis in 26 years. It’s a remarkable achievement in itself both for the administration and the American people, and for which I think we’re very grateful.”

In fact, 2019 was actually an historic year for ALL Americans living standards. It was the best year for household economic gains in over 50 years!
The official poverty rate fell to an all-time record low of 10.5 percent in 2019. Over 4 million people were lifted out of poverty between 2018 and 2019 for a 1.3 percentage point decrease. This was the largest reduction in poverty in over 50 years. Minority groups led the way in poverty alleviation. Compared to the overall poverty rate reduction of 1.3 percentage points, black poverty fell by 2.0 percentage points, Hispanic poverty fell by 1.8 percentage points, and Asian poverty fell by 2.8 percentage points. The poverty rate fell to an all-time record low for every race and ethnic group in 2019. Notably, the black poverty rate fell below 20 percent for the first time in history. Income gains in 2019 were largest for minority groups. Real median income grew by 7.9 percent for black Americans, 7.1 percent for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6 percent for Asian Americans. These one-year increases were all record highs, and the new income levels reached in 2019 were all record highs as well.
The gains from 2019 are significant. Real median household income increased $4,400 to a record high of $68,700. This is an almost 7% increase from 2018; the largest one year increase on record.

What might have been.
For those who value freedom and still believe the Constitution matters, you have reason to celebrate. On September 14, a federal judge ruled that Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s coronavirus lockdown measures are unconstitutional.
According to the judge, “The court believes that defendants undertook their actions in a well-intentioned effort to protect Pennsylvanians from the virus. However, good intentions toward a laudable end are not alone enough to uphold governmental action against a constitutional challenge.”
The judge also wrote, “even in an emergency, the authority of government is not unfettered. The Constitution cannot accept the concept of a ‘new normal’ where the basic liberties of the people can be subordinated to open-ended emergency mitigation measures.”

The Europa Clipper is poised to be one of the most important vessels in the history of exploration — if only government largesse would get out of the way. //
There’s only one problem: today, it’s illegal for it to be taken to space via any existing launch vehicle. The Europa Clipper has been dosed with a poison pill of pork which has endangered the entire mission. //
While a swelling trend of privatization is sweeping space exploration and leading to billions in savings, the Clipper has been legally forbidden from being launched on a private rocket. Quietly slipped into page 129 of a bloated omnibus spending bill from 2016 is a legal requirement that the Clipper can only take to space if it is on the Space Launch System.
The Space Launch System, or SLS, is a $28 billion government rocket program intended to replace the extinct shuttle program. It’s now billions over budget, and after nearly a decade of development still only exists in the imaginations of artists and politicians.
No other NASA mission in history has been forbidden by force of law from using a private rocket. The negative consequences of this law, however, are immense.
