The Estonian Government decried “an unprecedented and brazen intrusion” on Friday after a flight of three Russian fighter jets entered the airspace of the NATO member state, prompting an interceptor scramble. Estonian minister of foreign affairs Margus Tsahkna said the government had summoned the top Russian diplomat in the country to receive a protest and diplomatic note after three MiG-31 fast jets entered and loitered in Estonian airspace on Friday morning. According to a report from Estonian state broadcaster ERR, the three jets were flying dark with their transponders off, had not filed a flight plan with the Estonian authorities, and did not communicate with Estonian air traffic control by radio. They spent 12 minutes in Estonian air space and triggered the launch of NATO F-35s from an airbase 85 miles to the south-west to intercept and escort the jets away. As reported, there has been an intensification of Russian aircraft straying into NATO airspace in the past fortnight, with incursions into Estonian, Romanian, and Polish airspace. Some European nations have called these flights deliberate provocations and probing missions by Russian forces feeling out what Western response times are. Poland in particular has been forthright in its comments, asserting they have definite proof a group of Russian drones that entered their airspace had been sent there with purpose, and hadn’t simply got lost. Poland’s foreign minister Radoslav ‘Radek’ Sikorski spoke out in support of Estonia on Friday, saying of the MiG-31s: “Last week Poland, today Estonia. Russia is once again provoking and showing that it is not interested in peace. Poland declares solidarity with Estonia and strongly condemns the violation of its airspace by Russia.”. According to the far-left Hollywood Reporter, the only person who got Jimmy Kimmel suspended was Jimmy Kimmel. By the time Kimmel did his monologue, it was already perfectly clear that Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin was a leftist in a sick relationship with a furry-transsexual. Knowing this, Kimmel still told the tens of people who still watch his show that the alleged assassin is MAGA. We’re done taking it, so podcaster Benny Johnson and others called on FCC chairman Brendan Carr to do his job. Turns out he didn’t have to. Two of the country’s biggest affiliates, Nexstar and Sinclair, had also had enough. Both told Disney they were done airing a Late Night show aimed at pleasing only Los Angeles and New York when they own dozens of stations in Normal America. By this time, “66 of the roughly 200 affiliate stations had said they would not carry the episode – that’s when ABC announced it was suspending the program[.]” Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Brett James, perhaps best known for writing Carrie Underwood’s smash hit “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” is reportedly among the three people killed in a small plane crash in North Carolina on Thursday. “We mourn the untimely loss of Hall of Fame member Brett James (“Jesus Take The Wheel” / “When The Sun Goes Down”), a 2020 inductee who was killed in a small-engine airplane crash on Sept. 18. He was 57,” The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame said in a Facebook post on Friday. James was credited with writing or co-writing hundreds of songs and some of country and pop music’s biggest hits, including Kenny Chesney’s “When the Sun Goes Down.” James began his music career in earnest after singing a record deal 1992. His self-titled debut album followed in 1995. While releasing his own Billboard charting singles, James wrote hits for Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Kenny Chesney as well as Taylor Swift’s “A Perfectly Good Heart,” Brantley Gilbert’s “Bottoms Up” and Rascal Flatts’ “Summer Nights.” A shop owner in Flensburg, northern Germany, has sparked outrage after hanging a sign in his store window reading “Jews are forbidden here.” He claimed it was a protest against Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip. Despite police arriving at the scene on Wednesday night, the sign remained in place, according to German media reports published Thursday. The sign, written in large letters, read “Jews” with “forbidden here” underneath, followed by four exclamation points. In smaller letters it added: “Nothing personal, not even antisemitism, I just can’t stand you.” Felix Klein, Germany’s commissioner for combating antisemitism, condemned the act in an interview with German television. “This is clear antisemitism, with direct connections to the Nazi period, when Jews were boycotted and signs like these were widespread,” he said. “This must not be tolerated under any circumstances.” Annabel Fescher, head of the regional Green Party branch, also called for swift action. “We expect the competent authorities to investigate and prosecute this case. Antisemitic provocations like this cannot be accepted,” she said. Israel’s Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor posted on X in German,“The 1930s are back! In Flensburg, ‘Jews forbidden’ is once again hanging in a shop window—in the year 2025. Just like back then, in the streets, cafés and shops of the 1930s.” He added, “This is exactly how it started—step by step, sign by sign. It is the same old hatred, only in a new guise.” https://www.jns.org/german-shop-posts-sign-no-entry-for-jews/
