Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

We were in Kitty Hawk yesterday and then I saw this work of art in the Denver Airport.

90 HP engine!

Jenny plane suspended from the ceiling in the Denver airport. Is a biplane with a wood propeller and green wings with bullseye shaped design on the bottom.

" 1918 Curtis Jenny JN-4 D

The standard pilot trainer of world War I, it is powered by a liquid-cooled V8 90 horsepower ox-5 engine. The first air mail was flown in a Jenny between New York and Washington, DC on May 15, 1918. It was also the mainstay of the US signal core and the barnstormers of the twenties and early thirties."
