Even if not true, it’s a bloody good story about how leadership should be.
Robert Sterling@RobertMSterling

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

“Fifty-four years ago, in 1971, my grandmother Katharine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post, risked everything to stand up to a corrupt president. That president sought to destroy her newspaper’s autonomy. Today, faced with another such president, Jeff Bezos, the paper’s new owner, is tearing down the very newspaper she defended.”

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.  Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.  The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.  Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company. That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company. Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies. CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

I feel compelled to post this banger of a clip showing Barbara Walters humiliate trump to his face, as a reminder to reporters: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM CALLING YOU "DUMMY." This is outstanding. 👏👏👏

BREAKING: Jen Psaki just hit a MAJOR nerve with a story on Eric Trump’s China trip — and now he’s suing her. As she does most every night on her MS Now program, Jen Psaki did a monologue on a current topic in the news. This time, however, Eric Trump lost his mind over what she had to say . The 42-year-old executive vice president of the Trump Organization took to X Wednesday night to threaten a lawsuit against Psaki and MS NOW after she reported on his presence alongside his father during the presidential trip to China — and connected it to a Financial Times story about a family-linked company pursuing a deal with a Chinese chipmaker tied to the Communist Party. "I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5," Eric fumed, adding that he has "zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!" He concluded by insisting he joined the trip purely as "a loving son who adores my father." Sweet. But Psaki didn't make up the Financial Times reporting. She cited it. That report describes how ALT5 Sigma — a fintech company connected to Eric and the Trump family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial — has a memorandum of understanding to explore a deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer to build AI data centers. Congress has warned that the Chinese firm in question has connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Eric and his brother were photographed ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell with the ALT5 name displayed behind them. Neither ALT5 nor the Chinese firm responded to the Financial Times for comment. The deal may or may not be real. But the reporting exists, and it raises exactly the questions Psaki raised. And those questions don't stop there. Just last month, Eric was on Fox Business bragging that one of his companies scored a $24 million Pentagon contract. Don Jr.'s company landed a nearly $5 million Air Force contract. Both brothers are now part-owners of a drone company angling for major Pentagon deals — while their father's administration controls Pentagon spending. All of this is happening while Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit seeks to shield the entire Trump family from financial audits. Forever. Eric wants to sue Psaki for asking whether someone should check the books. That answer tells you everything. Please like and share to spread the news.

Never forget the horrors and evils of nazism and pond scum hitler. Never forget the Shoah. Always remember who you are. Andra and Tatiana Bucci. #NeverAgain
Mr PitBull Stories@MrPitbull07

April 1944. Two little girls arrived at Auschwitz holding hands. Andra was 4 years old. Tatiana was 6. They wore matching gray coats with yellow stars stitched onto them. To the guards on the Birkenau ramp, they looked like twins. That mistake saved their lives. The sisters, Andra and Tatiana Bucci, came from Fiume — a city that was Italian at the time and is now part of Croatia. Their father was Catholic. Their mother, Mira, was Jewish. For years, they lived an ordinary childhood. Then came the racial laws. Then the arrests. On March 28, 1944, soldiers came for the family. The girls, their mother, grandmother, aunt, and young cousin Sergio were all taken away and eventually forced onto a cattle train headed for Auschwitz-Birkenau. When they arrived, Dr. Josef Mengele stood on the selection ramp deciding who would live and who would die. Most small children were sent directly to the gas chambers. But Mengele was obsessed with twins for his experiments. Andra and Tatiana were not twins — they were two years apart — but dressed alike, they appeared to be. So they were spared. Their grandmother and aunt were murdered almost immediately. The girls were tattooed with numbers: 76483. 76484. In Auschwitz, names were meant to disappear. But their mother refused to let that happen. At night, Mira secretly visited the children’s barracks whenever she could. She risked beatings and death just to whisper the same words to her daughters over and over: “Never forget your names.” Not prayers. Not promises. Just their names. “Andra Bucci.” “Tatiana Bucci.” In a place designed to erase identity, remembering who you were became an act of resistance. The girls later said they didn’t fully understand the horror around them. They were too young. Auschwitz became their version of normal life. But they remembered fear. They remembered children disappearing. Doctors in white coats would come into the barracks and take children away. Most never returned. One day, a prisoner warned the sisters that someone would soon ask which children wanted to see their mothers. “Do not move,” she told them. “No matter what.” The girls obeyed. But their cousin Sergio stepped forward. He missed his mother. The sisters watched him leave. He was later murdered after being used in medical experiments along with other children. Andra and Tatiana survived partly because they stayed silent and invisible. Then, in January 1945, the camp suddenly changed. The guards vanished. The barking dogs stopped. And Soviet soldiers entered Auschwitz. One of them handed the girls a piece of salami. Liberation had arrived. But freedom did not instantly heal anything. The sisters spent months in orphanages, moving between countries, speaking broken mixtures of German, Czech, and other languages. For a time, they even forgot Italian. Then, in England, someone showed them a photograph. It was their parents’ wedding picture. “Your mother and father are alive,” they were told. Their mother had survived. Their father had survived. And they had spent months searching for their daughters across postwar Europe. When the girls were finally reunited with their mother in Italy, they cried. Not because they were happy. Because they no longer recognized her. Trauma had stolen even that. Slowly, over time, they rebuilt their lives. For decades, they rarely spoke publicly about Auschwitz. Then in the 1990s, they decided silence was no longer enough. Since then, Andra and Tatiana Bucci have spent years speaking to students and returning to Auschwitz to tell people what happened there. Today, they are among the youngest surviving people with living memories of Auschwitz. And after everything that camp tried to erase, two things survived: Their names. And their mother’s whisper in the darkness: “Never forget who you are.”

Blown away by the incredible performance of the mesmerising Lisa Simone, an extraordinary talent who had the audience wrapped around her finger. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. #NinasDaughter
