Just when you thought it was safe to go back into an airplane, T.J. Newman writes a novel, Falling, about a commercial pilot in a completely unwinnable nightmare situation: Soon after taking off on another routine flight, someone kidnaps the pilot’s wife and children and (unbeknown to passengers and crew) gives him an option crash the plane before it arrives in New York, kill everyone onboard or we will murder your family.
If that sounds like a thriller waiting to happen, well: Universal already bought the rights and Newman’s book agent is Shane Salerno, himself a successful screenwriter (“Armageddon,” the 2000 remake of “Shaft”) who landed Newman a two book, seven-figure deal. Even the blurbs sound more cinematic than literary: “This is ‘Jaws’ at 35,000 feet” (Don Winslow), “Like the films ‘Die Hard’ and ‘Speed’ on steroids” (Library Journal).

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Monday said national media coverage of the Capitol riots of Jan. 6 made the events look “so much worse than it actually was.
“There’s no question the media represented this as so much worse than it actually was, Kelly said on her podcast. She touched on how some losers made the whole group look bad.
The riots resulted in five deaths, more than 500 arrests, an interruption of the counting of the ballots, and lawmakers having to enter a shelter for safety. Some of the rioters called for Vice President Mike Pence to be hung.
