BUY PLANE TICKETS IN THE GOLDILOCKS WINDOW
(CNN Fri.) If you've looked at flights lately, you may have been taken aback by current ticket prices. (Some fares are up by 50%, generally 20% higher in the US, economy up 36% in the UK… compared to this time last year.) The busy travel season is heating up, which means heightened demand and more expensive airfares.
But if you time things right and target the "Goldilocks Window," there's a good chance you'll snag a deal -- even during the peak period.
For spring and summer trips, May, June, July, Mr. Hayley Berg, an economist at travel site Hopper, advises to start looking now (even if you don’t buy).
Don’t book too early or too late. Book “just right,” like Goldilocks. That’s 1 to 3 months in advance of travel for domestic US lights and 2 to 8 months for international flights. For peak season deals, it’s more like 3 to 7 months for domestic and 4 to 10 months for international. SEE? ISN’T COMMIE NONSENSE HELPFUL?
UKRAINE PROPAGANDA
(CNN Fri.) Today marks one year since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that despite all the hardships resulting from the war, 2023 will be a major turning point in the conflict. "It was a year of pain, sorrow, faith, and unity. And this year, we remained invincible. We know that 2023 will be the year of our victory," Zelensky said in a statement. Many residents have left the capital of Kyiv today, fearing a new wave of potential Russian attacks. Meanwhile, Ukraine has called on its allies to "redouble" their support at this "crucial stage of the war," Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said today. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has vowed the US will do everything it could to get Ukraine the key equipment it needs, although he said F-16 fighter jets -- which Kyiv has requested -- were not "the key capability" needed for now.
MEANWHILE, IN AMERICA: OHIO TOXIC TRAIN
(CNN Fri.) Federal officials released an initial report Thursday concluding that the toxic train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio, was completely preventable. The report found that one of the train's cars carrying plastic pellets was heated by a hot axle that sparked the initial fire, according to Jennifer Homendy, female chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (“Enough with the politics,” she said, per Politico). As the temperature of the bearing got hotter, the train passed by two wayside defect detectors that did not trigger an audible alarm message because the heat threshold was not met at that point, Homendy explained. A third detector eventually picked up the high temperature, but it was already too late by then. The report outlined how investigators will continue examining procedures, practices and design prior to the train's derailment. So far, the investigation found no evidence the crew did anything wrong prior to the incident.
Bezos hires firm to explore the possibility of NFL team bid
(CNN Fri.) Amazon founder Jeff Bezos hired a firm to research a possible bid for the NFL's Washington Commanders (BETTER KNOWN AS THE REDSKINS), sources told the Washington Post (A FAILING NEWSPAPER THAT HE ALSO OWNS).

GIFT CARDS ARE A PAIN
(CNN Fri.) $21B — That's how much “Americans” collectively (commie buzzword) have in unspent gift cards. Almost two-thirds of consumers have at least one unspent gift card tucked away in a drawer, wallet or purse. And at least half of those consumers lose a gift card before they use it, according to a new report.
EXTREME WEATHER!
(CNN Fri.) A winter storm moving across the US is causing numerous power outages, flight cancellations and road closures -- and has put millions of people under weather warnings. More than 828,000 customers are without power this morning due to weather, according to PowerOutage.us. Millions of others are under various alerts across the West into the northern Plains, Great Lakes region, New York and New England. In a rare event, some areas of Southern California will be under blizzard warnings today, the National Weather Service said. Meanwhile, temperatures are rising across the Southeast, where at least 50 record highs were reported on Thursday. The dueling winter storm and southern heat wave created a stark 100-degree temperature difference between the Northern Rockies and the South earlier this week.
“VOTING RIGHTS” (NO SUCH THING)
(CNN Fri.) Minnesota's Democrat Gov. Tim Walz is poised to sign a bill that would speed up the right to vote for ex-felons. Walz is expected to sign the legislation, referred to as Restore the Vote by its supporters, into law as early as next week, his office said. The bill will restore the voting rights of thousands of convicted felons this summer once they leave prison, instead of after they complete parole. Once signed by Walz, the measure means Minnesota will join 21 other states that automatically restore the right to vote for some or all ex-felons upon their release from prison. But the bill hasn't been without legal challenges and contentious political debate. Removing obstacles to voting for former felons has been the subject of partisan bickering in some states because of the perception that this group of voters is more likely to support Democratic candidates.
SCAPEGOAT HARVEY WEINSTEIN
(CNN Fri.) Harvey Weinstein, the former Hollywood mogul already serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York, was sentenced in Los Angeles Thursday to an additional 16 years in prison for charges of rape and sexual assault. Prior to the sentence, Weinstein spoke in court and continued to deny any wrongdoing. "I never knew this woman, and the fact is she doesn't know me. This is about money," he said. "Please don't sentence me to life in prison. I don't deserve it," he added. The sentencing was the second for Weinstein on sexual assault charges since reporting by The New York Times and The New Yorker in 2017 revealed his alleged history of sexual abuse, harassment and secret settlements as he used his influence as a Hollywood power broker to take advantage of young women.
