It really is remarkable how awful the Biden administration was. A mixture of spectacular incompetence, malicious disregard for common sense, and political extremism It flies under the radar because Biden was mentally gone, but the whole thing was a massive trainwreck

The people saying stuff like this have no actual idea of what makes an airline profitable. The merger with Spirit was about allowing JetBlue to expand its route structure and fleet, something it desperately needs to be able to compete with the Big Four.

Wild this isn't getting news coverage. A homeless woman in Austin gets shot dead in the neck and robbed. Cops figure out pretty fast it was a repeat violent offender Austin prosecutors had already let walk on aggravated robberies, drug felonies, gun charges, plus a separate shooting where he put three bullets in a someone’s leg over a crack baggie. Cops get the guy on his own home camera, six minutes after the murder, bagging up his bloody clothes, telling a woman to mop the floor and lie to the cops, and literally saying out loud “homicide will be in this hoe.” DA José Garza’s office looked at all of it and dropped the murder charge two weeks ago. The man is back on the street.

The current Democrat Rep is a white dude, Emmanuel. This white dude.

Logan Murfin, 26, of Skiatook, Okla., was convicted April 24 on 10 felony charges related to X posts he made about “gunning down” ICE personnel. He is in federal custody pending awaiting sentencing.

Dems: “No, you can’t end the racial gerrymander of Memphis. That’ll lead to less black representatives, you racist.” Me: “But the current Dem rep there is a white dude and the GOP candidate is black.” Dems:

Utterly extraordinary. Arsonist and firefighter.

.@SpiritAirlines has ceased operations at IAH. The airline advises customers not to come to the airport. Spirit counters at IAH are closed. IAH remains fully operational, with multiple airlines serving similar destinations. For more information: bit.ly/4t8TJT4

this is a story about a man who drowned in tar Chronicle editors assigned it to Sondra Hernandez, thus guaranteeing it would be incompetently reported let's take a look

The Supreme Court has effectively removed the requirement for Black-majority districts. This is like removing Black-only water fountains and ruling all people must drink from the same ones. Of course, liberals must invert reality.

Public schools in America have never had more funding. We've increased education spending every year for the last half century. Teachers who would rather spend a school day at a communist protest instead of teaching may just be a root of the problem.

Will Thomas says he went through a second puberty when he started taking wrong sex hormones. A female puberty this time! No Will. You don’t menstruate and you can’t have a baby. You’re a man. Of course he’s speaking in Boulder CO.

🚨#BREAKING: The final Spirit Airlines flight has touched down in Dallas at 1:08 a.m. EST, marking the definitive end of active operations ahead of the airline’s expected systemwide shutdown at 3:00 a.m. Video by @24chadster

💥NEW: Bill Maher on WHCD Shooting: "If you’re one of these people — and there’s many in this country — who watched that and was disappointed the president wasn’t killed, you’re not a good person. Or a smart person." "He's NOT Hitler!"

The bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines is a direct result of the policy failures of Biden Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Here's Buttigieg bragging about blocking the JetBlue Sprit merger that could have saved the airline. His incompetence in office was just breathtaking.

The new SF mayor hasn’t fixed anything.

These are the Presidents of the largest 2 teachers unions… Becky Pringle and Randi Weingarten. Both are Marxists. Both paid over $500,000 per year. 99% of donations from their unions go to Democrats. They’re responsible for much of the destruction of public schools. Sick.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

The Houston Police Department doesn’t care about your stolen pickup truck, even if you track it down and have the thieves on camera. This is standard policy in Houston. Cops won’t lift a finger. What kind of police chief does @whitmire_john have running the @houstonpolice ?

She is the daughter of evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson. He was a close colleague of mine and a friend. However, once I expressed disdain for Obama and Pelosi, he publicly explained that I had lost my humanity, and he was hoping that I would find it again. We've not spoken since. I was a great guy and scholar until I expressed a political opinion that was "heretical." I then became a subhuman. This is coming from an individual who support the Party of Empathy.
