@Muzz1943 @NEWSMAX If a month of high fuel prices was enough to run Spirit out of business then they were doomed to fail anyway. They were looking at the merger as a "bailout" long before the conflict in Iran was even a thought.

@jrhiggy @NEWSMAX The end result is exactly what the CEO of Spirit, Dave Davis said: "The sudden and sustained rise in fuel prices⛽️ in recent weeks⛽️ ultimately has left us with no alternative but to pursue an orderly wind-down of the Company." Ask trump⛽️ But yes, we have one fewer option. ✈️

Airlines for America President Chris Sununu said the collapse of Spirit Airlines underscores the consequences of the Biden administration’s decision to block a proposed merger with JetBlue, calling the failed deal a missed opportunity to stabilize the struggling carrier. newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/bid…

@Muzz1943 @NEWSMAX And now what's the end result? One fewer low fare carrier. How is the public protected now that they have fewer options and in turn higher fares?

@jrhiggy @NEWSMAX To protect the public & keep fares low. There was a trial & the judge found that Antitrust laws were violated. Not hard to understand 🤪

@Muzz1943 @NEWSMAX That doesn't change the fact that the DOJ sued to stop the merger AND the Biden Administration opposed the merger.

@jrhiggy @NEWSMAX The merger was stopped because: A FEDERAL JUDGE officially halted it in January 2024 on "ANTITRUST" grounds & Clayton Act.

@Muzz1943 @NEWSMAX The Biden Administration strongly opposed the merger. The DOJ sued to block the deal. Connect the dots, my guy.

@jrhiggy @NEWSMAX S.T.R.E.T.C.H.I.N.G. President Biden’s DOJ didn’t work FOR Biden, they answered to the Attorney General, unlike trumps DOJ. Blanche does exactly what trump tells him to do! THAT is the difference here! 🤪

@Muzz1943 @NEWSMAX He was agreeing with the Biden DOJ's assessment, so........

@NEWSMAX U.S. District Judge William Young said a merger violated antitrust laws, NOT Biden. How long do you intend to use President Biden as you 'go to' reason for YOUR failure.🤪 Biden had competent people working for him, he trusted them to do their jobs properly and with integrity.

@OuiZ16 @NEWSMAX Well the Biden DOJ and DOT failed to allow the JetBlue/Spirit merger in March of 2024 which would have saved Spirit from going out of business, so there's that.

@NEWSMAX A presidential term is only 48 months long. We’re about 16 months into Trump’s presidency — that’s just over 33% of the way through — and he’s still blaming Joe Biden for his failures. Will you all please inform us when you’ll no longer buy that as an excuse?

@OssianFX @JoshACarpenter Golf fans are overwhelmingly conservative

@JoshACarpenter People hate Trump and don't want to give him their patronage.

The problem with big markets is that there are often other games in town/other things to do, and golf is barely a blip on the radar. A very sleepy first few days at Doral

@paulworthy11 @JoshACarpenter I would be willing to wager that golf fans are overwhelmingly conservative

@JoshACarpenter Oh, nothing to do with the joker that owns the place?

@amxs46 @RonFilipkowski Yet you guys will go weak in the knees over Augusta which is steeped in a history of racism and misogyny. Yall are weird.

@RonFilipkowski Would ever play it, attend a tournament there, or watch it. Boycott bone spurs

The crowd at the main grandstand around the 18th green at Trump Doral Miami today with Ricky Fowler and Colin Morikawa - two of the biggest stars on the PGA tour.

@da_falk @DustinLMcComas Yeah, we know that actually enforcing rules confuses some people. In Texas actions have consequences. Foreign concept for some.

@DustinLMcComas Wait a minute!!! Another example of what a shithole Texas is??? Who would have thunk it

Stunning #txhsbaseball news: Just hours before its postseason began, Grapevine's season is over. A chance at a three-peat ends after it was discovered the Mustangs played an ineligible player. The 5A favorites, and one of the top teams in the nation, are out.

@caduse @dnvr_is_burning @RoyBoy977

@dnvr_is_burning Well hold on now. Let’s be honest, we have ALL thought about stealing a fire truck at one time or another. Preferably one of those ones with the ladder and the guy driving in the back. Right @RoyBoy977

A man who was released from jail in Boulder immediately stole a fire truck & extensively damaged the fire truck There are a small number of antisocial ppl who don't give a 💩...they need to be locked up. Good thing the legislature just made it even easier for them to get out!

@jrhiggy @rt_bradley93 @zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf 6th.

Alex Fitzpatrick's win @Zurich_Classic gives him career-changing benefits: - PGA TOUR card through 2028 - Spots in the following tournaments: 2026 @Cadillac_Champ 2026 @TruistChamp 2026 @PGAChampionship 2026 @MemorialGolf 2026 @TravelersChamp 2027 @THEPLAYERS

@KaiserSoze_38 @rt_bradley93 @zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf Being in 8th place a third of the way through the season isn't "close"

@jrhiggy @rt_bradley93 @zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf 6th in line for the card and he is/was close.

@grainreader5000 @rt_bradley93 @zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf Some of yall just say things that aren't factual and then get defensive when someone calls you out.

@jrhiggy @rt_bradley93 @zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf Well he got one anyway so how about you and your 20 handicap focus on what’s wrong with your swing and not other people

@rt_bradley93 @zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf The DP Tour is about a third of the way through their schedule and he's currently in 8th place. He wasn't even close to being guaranteed his PGA Tour card for 2027.

@zurbo1984 @PGATOUR @Zurich_Classic @cadillac_champ @TruistChamp @PGAChampionship @MemorialGolf He won on DPWT weeks ago and was gonna get his card regardless in the fall dumbass

@JustSay23848309 @ryanjreilly Probably not used to seeing a real man.

@ryanjreilly I'm sorry, but I think this is a totally DUMBASS/CLUELESS response. He needs to explain himself, unless he doesn't care if people think he's an IDIOT.

Dana White on the incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner:

@casssemyon @CongressMin @SpectrumNewsDC Journalism is dead!!!

It’s hard to miss @CongressMin on Capitol Hill — he’s the one riding the electric scooter. Now’s he’s turning his love for the speedy method of transportation into bipartisan legislation to create federal standards for e-bikes and other micro-mobility methods. @SpectrumNewsDC @SpecNews1SoCal

@CurtisHouck @weijia Never missing an opportunity to play the role of victim. 🙄

CNN's SE Cupp says the #WHCD cannot continue b/c of the ongoing "violence against journalists" and "politicians"... "Can I just say something? While I appreciate the courage and stoicism from my colleagues here and @Weijia at -- at the -- at the dais to continue this night, what we just watched is so upsetting. I'm in studio, and I'm shaking watching this, and I can't imagine what Erika Kirk is going through again. And I think it's important to remember that the people in that room, we know so many of them. They're also human. And I imagine that while they want to show up for press freedom, and we don't know what the motive of this shooter was, I imagine some of them are also really scared and traumatized. And I think viewers who are watching some of this footage will be scared and traumatized by it. It's really upsetting. And I feel so exhausted by how much violence we have to cover violence against journalists, violence against politicians. I just can't imagine continuing on with this night. I understand the importance of standing up there and standing against these threats of violence. But this is very real, and we are human. Journalists are human, too. And I would really understand if, for security reasons and also just compassion, human -- human reasons, this night didn't continue as planned."

@KeruboSk If he wants the house to be in his name only then have him come up with the down payment and the mortgage on his own. Put several hundred dollars per month into a rainy day fund so that you will have a safety net in case the relationship doesn't work out.

My boyfriend and I are planning to buy a house together after dating for 3 years. He earns significantly more than I do, so he’d be contributing about 70% of the down payment. Because of that, he wants the house to be only in his name. He says it’s just “fair” based on the numbers, but we’d both be living there, splitting bills, and building a life together. I’ve been watching a lot of relationship content about equity vs equality, and it made me realize things don’t always have to be 50/50 but this feels like I’d have no security at all. He said if we ever broke up, he’d “do the right thing,” but that doesn’t really reassure me. My friends say don’t move in unless my name is on it. His friends apparently think I’m being entitled. Now I feel stuck between trusting him and protecting myself. Is this a red flag I’m trying too hard to rationalize?

@BEisenhart The "second contract" arguement works for NBA players but not for NFL players. Only 60% of drafted players get a second contract.

Unless you are almost guaranteed to be a 1st or 2nd pick in the NFL, given the NIL situation, why would anyone leave school early if you are a star at a Power 5?
