The newest Air Force One jet, gifted to President Trump from the Qatari government, arrived ahead of schedule on Friday to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. On Friday afternoon, Trump toured the luxury Boeing 747 plane that initially stirred controversy.

Trump said last May he’d be “stupid” not to accept the offer. Industry groups originally said the plane could be worth approximately $400 million. Trump also spoke standing in…

President Donald Trump on Friday showed off the new Air Force One, a formerly Qatari-owned jumbo jet that has been converted into the official U.S. presidential aircraft. The new aircraft eschews the Kennedy-era robin’s egg blue exterior of the old plane for a bolder look, with the underbelly of the plane painted navy blue with a red stripe above it. The plane’s left side, where the president boards, features the presidential seal, while the tail of the aircraft has a massive American flag on it. “The workmanship of this plane is, when you see it, you won’t believe it,” Trump said…

What’s the most cliche possible gift you can give a relative? A digital photo frame, displaying a rotating slideshow of family photos. Now Aura has completely refreshed this product space with its gorgeous Aura Ink frame, which uses e-ink to create a display that doesn’t even look digital. Digital frames have always been so popular (yet mostly disappointing) because there’s an undeniable allure to the idea of them — it feels like magic to imagine hanging artwork on your wall that you can change depending on your mood. In practice, these devices usually look clunky. You need to plug them…

A Boston College history professor drew criticism after comparing the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn to the racial lynchings of the 19th century. Heather Cox Richardson, a historian and prolific Substack writer, made the remarks during an appearance on former CNN anchor Jim Acosta’s YouTube program, where she argued that the “impulse” behind the June 14 mixed martial arts spectacle was rooted in the same ideology that drove racial violence against Black Americans and other minorities during the Gilded Age. Ms. Richardson began by criticizing the use of a military honor cordon at the…
