Big news, Louisville is now flying international! Some people thought it would never happen, but we're getting it done. Starting this spring with Air Canada, Louisville will have daily nonstop international flights to Toronto. This is another reflection of how Louisville is a city on the rise. Our economy is booming, we're creating opportunities and jobs for our neighbors, and we're welcoming more visitors from around the world! That's what Louisville is all about.

In an era of anti-Catholicism and anti-immigrant nativism, Blessed Michael McGivney chose the Catholic explorer Christopher Columbus as the Order’s namesake in 1882. In an essay in the September 2020 issue of Columbia, historian William J. Connell explains, “For [the Knights] and many others, Columbus was celebrated as a figure of civic unity and a symbol that immigrants, particularly Catholics, possessed a rightful share in American identity.” Read more: bit.ly/4ifGgFZ Featured: The Christopher Columbus Memorial by sculptor Lorado Taft stands outside Union Station in Washington, D.C.

Today, the Commonwealth mourns the loss of Kentucky State Trooper Hayden Phillips. Beth and I are praying for him and his loved ones. Kentuckians will forever be grateful for his sacrifice.

The "cats are out of the bag!" The Louisville Zoo and @LouisvilleMayor are excited to announce that Amur tiger Viktoria and her three cubs are now beginning to explore their outdoor habitat.

Bill Maher: “I was reading about the Lindsay Clancy case, I kept reading about parents, so many, who go on record. I mean, they make TikToks and saying they hate being a parent. And I'm like, you did this to yourself. I'm not surprised you hate being a parent because you created this system where you could never be alone. My parents had time alone. ‘Get the f*ck out of here.’ And we did.” “And everything is a negotiation with a child. Of course you're exhausted. You can't have that situation with a child… Imagine if the military, you had to ask the soldiers, ‘What do you think, guys? You want to go into battle?’ It's the same with kids. You can't ask them everything. Just do it. Get out of the car. Get in the car. We're leaving…”

Don’t bounce it, they’ll boo ya. -Derek Jeter’s advice to President George Bush prior to him throwing out the first pitch in the 2001 World Series

“I’ll take the cockpit.” “I’ll take the tail.” On September 11 2001, two F-16 pilots took off from Andrews Air Force Base knowing their mission could end with them deliberately crashing their own fighters into a hijacked passenger jet. Lt. Col. Marc Sasseville and 1st Lt. Heather “Lucky” Penney were scrambled as the attacks unfolded and United Airlines Flight 93 was believed to be heading toward Washington. There was one enormous problem: their F-16s had no live missiles aboard. There simply wasn’t time to arm them before launching. So the two pilots devised an extraordinary last-resort plan. Sasseville would ram Flight 93’s cockpit. Penney would strike the tail, destroying the aircraft’s ability to remain airborne. “I’m going to go for the cockpit,” Sasseville told her. “I’ll take the tail,” Penney replied. Both understood what that could mean. Penney later described it as potentially a one-way mission. They raced toward Washington and searched for the missing airliner, unaware that the passengers and crew aboard Flight 93 had already fought back against the hijackers. The Boeing 757 had crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, before the fighters were airborne. Penney would later insist that the real heroes that morning were the people aboard Flight 93. They had done what the two fighter pilots were preparing to sacrifice their own lives to do: stop the aircraft from reaching Washington. #September11 #Flight93 #USAirForce

Still hits the same

This may be one of the most shocking firsthand videos from September 11, capturing the South Tower collapsing as terrified people run for cover. 25 years later, the terror of that moment remains unimaginable. 😟

I was only a journalism major for two semesters before I wised up, but I must have missed the class on “thirdhand” sources.
