Using "Is" rather than "Are" in this headline is the correct approach. The subject of the sentence is "one" (singular), not "pilots" (plural).
Standards are still high at the Weekly World News!

We are a nation with tens of millions of sullen, resentful people who want someone to blame for their problems. Trump hates the people they hate, so they'll let him do whatever he wants.
Just an absolute chud, this guy —

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. You don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Few actors were as good. And few people were as engaging to spend time with. To say that everyone at @tcm loved Diane Ladd is a vast understatement.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.
