@SRuhle Except of course Spirit was already in bankruptcy and attempting to restructure its business prior to the Iran War. In fact it’s been in Chapter 11 twice in the past two years.
So no, in this case these two things are not true.

2 things can be true.
- the Biden Administration blocked a JetBlue/Spirit merger out of market consolidation concerns & now here we are with one company gone.
- the final blow that caused Spirit to fall was skyrocketing jet fuel prices caused by the war in Iran.

This is supposed to be some game theory morality test. If you push blue, WOW YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD PERSON. Only bad people push red.
Nonsense.
This is an IQ test.
I am not putting my life into the hands of dysgenic freaks.
If you're not smart enough to push Red, cya later.

@christopherrufo Have to hand it to him, guy is incredible at telling hilariously absurd lies with a straight face and some charm. This most recent fraud absurdity is right up there with him claiming his wife is a Republican.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife is going viral for her far left views, but in 2024 Gavin claimed his wife was a republican

Last week, Gavin Newsom denied that large-scale fraud was happening in California and—against all available evidence—said there were "no missing homelessness funds." Now he is trying to claim that he is cracking down on fraud. He can't have it both ways.

@esaagar Oh so now it’s a pretty clear pattern.
This morning he was a madman. You and your Breaking Points crew are a joke.

A few friends told me that saying TACO implies ridicule or chiding. To me is just a generic term at this point for a pretty clear Trump pattern of backing down but I see their point considering the literal meaning of the acronym so let me just say I’m very glad this happened!

Iranian regime use children as human shields to stand on bridge after Trump threatened to blow up bridges to cripple the regime.
English
I used to think you were a balanced voice but this whole Iran war has shown me what a disingenuous fraud you are.
You can disagree with the war itself (I largely do) but pretending as though the Iranian regime and its supporters are heroes is pathetic.
Individually, these people may not be evil but collectively the regime is.
I’m actually curious whether you have ever spoken with an Iranian person that isn’t a regime supporter? Every single one of them supports the war.

@ryangrim No idea what world you live in.
Those women should never have been permitted visas to enter the US let alone green cards.
The notion that we should welcome them is objectively loser behaviour and an indictment of you.
English
Whatever you think of Trump trying to deport these two Iranian women (how will he even get them there?) we can all agree this is not the behavior of a confident man.
A military that feels good about its war effort does not need to turn its attention to the random (supposed) grand niece of a guy they assassinated in a drone strike 6 years ago.
This is the behavior of losers and cowards and that’s an objective observation, not a judgment.
English
@ryangrim Don’t be a dork.
She lied about needing asylum.
Boot her ass out.

Isn’t she an oncologist or something? Are we losing so badly we need to arrest the distant relatives of long-since-dead Iranian commanders?

MORE - (Reuters) - U.S. federal agents have arrested the niece and grand-niece of late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status, the State Department said on Saturday. "Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement," the State Department said in a statement after Rubio revoked their green cards.

@SeanTrende This is all so revisionist. Trump wins 2020 in a landslide if not for Covid.
He *almost* won in spite of Covid as well as all of the absurd changes to voting rules that arose out of it.

I think this is basically right, but even if Harris were a White male, I think people underestimate how messy an open process two weeks before the Convention would have been, and without a lot of time for splits within the party to heal. 1/

Trump was beatable in 2024, too. But after forcing Biden out, the plain imperative-- find the strongest candidate to beat Trump--was knocked off the table by imperatives born of racial neurosis.

NEW: President Trump torches Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, etc. for their vicious attacks on Mark Levin
He says they are "people with far less Intellect, Capability, and Love for our Country" than Levin
He says Levin is "far smarter than those who criticize him" and that Kelly and Tucker "are jealous and angry Human Beings, whose 'sway' is much less than the Public understands, and will, now that they know where I stand, rapidly diminish."
"Those that speak ill of Mark will quickly fall by the wayside, as do the people whose ideas, policies, and footings are not sound. THEY ARE NOT MAGA, I AM, and MAGA includes not allowing Iran, a Sick, Demented, and Violent Terrorist Regime, to have a Nuclear Weapon to blow up the United States of America, the Middle East and, ultimately, the rest of the World. MAGA is about stopping them cold, and that is exactly what we are doing."

He did multiple tours valiantly fighting Islamists for his country and survived, only to come home and be murdered by an Islamist who was let in so some moronic politicians could virtue signal about diversity being our strength.

The victim of the terrorist attack at Old Dominion has been identified as Lt. Col. Brandon Shah-- who was a Professor of Military Science and the leader of the university's ROTC program. He was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Atlantic Resolve. His awards included two Bronze Stars, Senior Army Aviator Badge, Combat Action Badge, Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal with Valor, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and the Joint Service Achievement Medal. RIP. 🙏

Anthropic is not a “radical left AI company” and pretending so is a disservice to a generational American technology company whose GDP contribution to the nation will be measured in trillions.

Who are the California politicians behind the progressive laws that allow a serial child rapist like David Funston to be released from prison early? Funston was described by a judge as “the monster parents fear most”. The CA prosecutor who handled his case tells me it’s the worst she’s seen in her career. In 1995, he sexually assaulted 7 children, including a 5-year-old girl who was left with vaginal trauma after having her own underwear shoved down her throat to stop her screaming. He drove around the Sacramento area using toys and candy to lure small children into his car before beating and raping them. And yet, despite being sentenced to three consecutive 25 to life terms, and a separate 20-year term after being convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child sexual assaults, the California Parole Board has found him suitable for early release from prison due to California’s elderly parole laws – pushed by progressive Democrats. In 2020, California Assemblyman @AsmPhilTing (D-San Francisco) introduced AB 3234, which changed California’s elderly parole laws to move parole eligibility from age 60 and 25 years served on a sentence, to age 50 and 20 years served on a sentence. It was signed into law on 1/1/2021 by Governor Newsom after being passed by the state’s Democratic supermajority in the California Assembly. Notably, the law had no exceptions for violent sex offenders. Not even for child rape, forceful sexual penetration, or sodomy by force. California Republicans are trying to change this. In February 2025, CA Republican state senator @SenBrianJones introduced SB 286, which would block anyone convicted of a violent sex offense from qualifying for California’s elderly parole program. In April 2025, SB 286 passed out of the CA Senate’s Public Safety Committee with bipartisan support. But in May 2025, SB 286 was blocked from a vote by the Democratic leadership of the California Senate Appropriations Committee, including the then Chair of the committee, Democratic CA state senator @CASenCaballero (now running for CA Treasurer) who wrote in an analysis of the bill that it would potentially cost the state $2 billion over 10 years to keep inmates in prison longer and that “every dollar spent incarcerating aging adults is a dollar diverted from more effective public investments like rehabilitation.” She added that “tough on crime” policies contribute to prison overcrowding, and “disproportionately harmed communities of color.” The bill has been stalled in the committee ever since. There remain no exceptions to elderly parole for violent sex crimes, and David Funtson may soon be a free man as a result.

Ro Khana promised to expose pedophiles and sex traffickers. Instead he’s celebrating random CEOs resigning for non-criminal interactions with Epstein.
Yet at the same time Khanna won’t say a word about major Dem donor Reid Hoffman, who had far more extensive ties to Epstein.

@MikeNellis You’re a complete and total liar.
Meanwhile back in reality, Gavin Newsom’s California just granted early parole and released a pedophile sex predator who committed some of the most heinous crimes ever committed.
Now that is evil.

Good fucking morning to everybody except the ICE agents who kidnapped a blind man, realized they had no basis to deport him, and then released him five miles from his home. He died, scared and alone, just trying to find his way back to his house. That’s evil.

@BillMelugin_ In any sane world, he would be executed.
In @GavinNewsom’s California, he is granted parole.
