@SheBisRight @tomselliott Not sure I understand your post, but no, "we" are not supposed to keep the airline alive. The market was willing to keep it alive with a private merger until the Biden DOJ intervened and killed it. Now, budget travelers have fewer options and 14000+ jobs have been lost.

@tomselliott I can’t get over this story: we are supposed to keep an airline barely alive because people need low fares? People DON’T HAVE TO FLY. And the government is telling us that if you HAVE TO, you can’t pay $80 more?

AG Merrick Garland, March 7, 2023: "Our complaint alleges that JetBlue’s proposed $3.8 billion acquisition of Spirit violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. We allege that if allowed to proceed this merger will limit choices and drive up ticket prices for passengers across the country. "And we further allege that the impact of this merger will be particularly harmful for travelers who rely on what are known as ultra low cost carriers in order to fly. Those include working & middle-class Americans who traveled for personal as opposed to business reasons & who must pay their own way. By acquiring Spirit JetBlue will eliminate the largest ultra low cost carrier in the United States.”

@tomselliott Congrats to Mr. Garland for his role in eliminating 14000+ jobs. Well done!

I had the pleasure traveling this country for fourteen years during my career in Major League Baseball. Early on, I loved visiting Seattle and would spend hours before every game just walking the streets and exploring—it was my favorite road trip. Years of liberal policies ruined this city, by the end of my career (2016), I was saddened to see what it had become. It’s only gotten worse since then—Democratic leadership is destructive, not just in Seattle but cities all over this great nation. VOTE RED in November and stop the socialist takeover of America. foxnews.com/media/seattle-…

Hey @AandGShow, you guys need to comment on Maureen Orth's essay in this weekend's WSJ. Does Jack feel the same about the "Michael" biopic after reading these allegations?

@SRuhle Not quite the full story. The Biden justice department - at the urging of the anti-capitalist Sanders and Warren - sued to block a merger that would have saved Spirit. As a result, consumers now have fewer options and 14000 people have lost their jobs.

Spirit danced with bankruptcy & was plagued by management issues for quite some time. Then - this unprofitable organization- with almost no cushion got hit with soaring jet fuel costs. That is the story.

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.

This one didn't age well, Cookies!

What saddens me is that this verbally fluid and intellectually vacuous socialist "professor" has so many followers among our electorate.

@NiceToBeHere2u @55SweetThing And the head of the actor's union (SAG - yes, he was a Democrat at one time), a Governor, successful business person and an inflation killer. IMO, being an actor doesn't diminish his accomplishments.

@CSkorina @55SweetThing Don't forget...Reagan was an ACTOR.

Never forget Reagan’s reaction to a balloon popping during a speech he gave in West Berlin, 1987- just six years after being shot and wounded in a real assassination attempt by John Hinckley, Jr.

@jmart This begs the question of whether the other Justices were invited. I suspect they were,as I do not think Melania would have snubbed them . . . Is it not plausible/likely that the 3 non-attendees declined the invitation?

Two Americas All six conservative members of the Supreme Court attended President Trump’s state dinner Tuesday honoring King Charles, the night before they heard an important case about Mr. Trump’s immigration policies. None of the three liberal justices were present.

@JonLemire Precisely why the conflict is not yet over and the regime must go. As Sophocles noted, "one must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been."

“And even if Tehran is willing to formally return the Strait of Hormuz to an international waterway, free and open for all, the regime has proved that it can close the strait at will, despite being confronted by the world’s most powerful military” theatlantic.com/national-secur…

People don't realize how absurd this view actually is. A camera. On a robot. On Mars. Built by humans on a planet 140 million miles away, launched on a rocket, landed using a sky crane, and now driving across an alien desert taking pictures so detailed you can count the rocks. 100 years ago, your great-grandparents thought airplanes were a miracle. You are scrolling past Mars on your phone.

@DavidAFrench Agreed. Incredibly moving scene. And as a reminder, this is what real Nazis do. Don't dimimish the horror they unleashed by calling everone you disagree with a Nazi. You dishonor the victims and normalize their truly monstrous and inhumane conduct.

This scene was gutting. I cannot begin to imagine what it would have been like to discover these atrocities in real time. It would change you forever.

@JonathanTurley So the assumption is that people of color are criminals, ergo signs about neighborhood watch programs are elitist, discriminatory and non-inclusive? How stupid and racist are today's modern "liberals?" Decent folks of all colors and races are anti-crime.

I had to check to be sure that this was not a hilarious addition to the Babylon Bee. The Democratic city council of Ann Arbor, Michigan, unanimously voted to order the removal of anti-crime signs in order to be more "inclusive"... foxnews.com/politics/liber…

@marklevinshow This should surprise no one. They hid Bin Laden for years. I pray POTUS, Hegseth, Rubio et al are smarter than to trust the Pakistanis.

BREAKING Pakistan is providing resources to the Iranian regime through 6 corridors

@confusion_reign Still wearing the chains, I see.

Maybe they shouldn’t call him up just yet?
