I believe in equal opportunity, not equal results, and limited government. I approach politics with reason and logic, therefore find progressives a total fraud.

Ashli Babbit: unarmed, never given an order from a LEO, killing justified? She shouldn’t have been there? Poor Michael Byrd? Rene Good: accelerating a 2ton SUV, refusing lawful orders, victim? Arrest Jonathan Ross? Impeach Trump? Boy, that is a lot of Hypocrisy!

Funny thing about Elizabeth Warren’s “consumer protection”: she’ll torch a merger over 9% market share, but cheer the federal government monopolizing your healthcare, your student loans, your childcare, your bank, and your housing.

So a federal count just blocked a merger between JetBlue and Spirit Air, at the request of the Biden Administration. Give me 3 minutes to explain why this is such a big deal, and why it's part of a bigger strategy to finally return power to regular people.

Elizabeth Warren once labeled Pete Hegseth's Christian tattoos a "threat," yet she's fully backing Graham Platner, the man with a Nazi tattoo, calling him "the fighter we need." Democrats have no shame, no sense of hypocrisy.

Here’s Mayor Pete announcing the Biden administration’s decision to fight the Jet Blue and Spirit merger so they could protect consumers and ensure low fares. Now the airline doesn’t exist and passengers are stranded across the country.

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.

[LONG RANT] “Spirit would have just made JetBlue go bankrupt anyway! You can’t blame Biden or Warren!” Do you guys know what bankruptcy is? I’m not trying to be rude, but do you understand that not all bankruptcy processes are the same (or even comparable), and that there are MAJOR differences between Chapter 11 and Chapter 7? Let’s set aside the particulars of JetBlue’s financial position and assume these people are right. Let’s grant them that—for purposes of argument—acquiring and integrating Spirit would have been the death knell for JetBlue’s lackluster balance sheet. (This is far from guaranteed, and I promise you that none of the people on social media making these claims have analyzed the company’s financial statements, let alone built a forecast for the business or looked at its solvency ratios.) JetBlue, under the worst case scenario, would be suffering from a balance issue, not a fatal structural issue with the company’s business model itself. In other words, it is not the case that JetBlue is a fundamentally “bad business” that shouldn’t exist. It just shouldn’t exist with the level of debt that it currently maintains (~$9.5B of debt and lease obligations, compared to EBITDA of $490M in 2024 and $284M in 2025). Finance bros would say it has “viability as a going concern,” just not with the level of liabilities currently on its balance sheet. When a company has a business model that fundamentally works—when it is viable as a going concern—but it is not able to service its liabilities, the company doesn’t just fold up and shut down. It generally goes through a restructuring process, either directly with creditors (you’ll hear the term “liability management exercise” from smart guys like my absolute bro @HighyieldHarry a lot) or via the court system. When the process is pursued via the court system, it is a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This is what Spirit attempted—twice—after the Biden administration sued to block its sale to JetBlue. In a Chapter 11 process, the company generally reorganizes its operations (burdensome contracts are renegotiated, new executives are sometimes brought in, etc.) and restructures its balance sheet (debt terms are modified, and owners of common equity, at the bottom of the capital stack, usually take substantive haircuts, if they’re not wiped out entirely). But here’s the most important part of Chapter 11—and I’m going to capitalize this for emphasis: THE BUSINESS DOES NOT STOP OPERATING. Not only does it not stop operating, its stakeholders—vendors and suppliers, for example—often aren’t allowed to stop working with them. Business goes on, the lights stay on, employees get paid (assuming temporary financing is lined up), and customers continue to be served. For the company, the world keeps turning, even if its equity owners know their days are limited. Under the worst case scenario, this is what would have happened—what still might happen—to a post-Spirit-acquisition JetBlue. Its planes would have kept flying, its employees would have continued receiving paychecks twice a month, and most passengers would not have even known any difference. Ultimately, the company exits the Chapter 11 process with a healthier balance sheet, better prospects for its future, and a new lease on life. Countless companies—including nearly every major US airline, as well as General Motors and Chrysler—have gone through this process and gone on to operate as successful commercial enterprises. I have zero doubt that, in this hypothetical scenario, JetBlue would end up being one of them. Now, let’s talk about what just happened with Spirit. Spirit isn’t going through Chapter 11 right now. It tried that twice already, and both times were insufficient. Spirit is therefore now filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 is liquidation. It is, for all intents and purposes, the end. Operations cease. Passengers get stranded at distant airports. Employees don’t get their paychecks, let alone creditors their debt serviced. If Chapter 11 is surgery and physical therapy for a business, Chapter 7 is capital punishment. It is corporate death. In a Chapter 7 process, the company’s assets are sold off—generally in piecemeal fashion—to the highest bidders, proceeds from which are used to satisfy creditors. In the case of Spirit, this will involve its fleet of planes (those that are owned, not leased) being sold off to other carriers, as well as ground equipment. Gate slots and leases—which are extremely valuable at space-constrained airports—will also be sold off to other airlines. Spirit’s customer file—the names, email addresses, and contact information of its customers—will probably get sold off to whichever scammy direct marketing firm is willing to pay the most. Even the Spirit brand itself will also be sold (Spirit Halloween, you guys have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.) Spirit’s creditors will be partially repaid. They will have a bad quarter, perhaps even a bad year. But they will, by and large, be fine. You know who won’t be fine? Spirit’s 15,000+ employees. They are—to use the proper legal and financial term—up shit creek. The company’s pilots will get scooped up by other airlines, though they and their families may have to relocate. Flight attendants may or may not get jobs elsewhere, as will its ground staff and its corporate employees (accountants, IT staff, etc.). But it’s not exactly the best white-collar job market right now. This is why it’s so infuriating to see people say Spirit would have dragged JetBlue into bankruptcy regardless, and that we therefore should not hold cynical, incapable politicians accountable. A JetBlue bankruptcy—which, again, would not have been a sure bet by any stretch of the imagination—would have been a Chapter 11 reorganization. Possibly even an out-of-court restructuring among the company and its creditors. Spirit’s bankruptcy, on the other hand, is the end. The company is dead. The two aren’t comparable. And this is a really shitty day for a lot of decent people that didn’t deserve any of this,

Activists show up at ‘Moms for Liberty’ event in California They scream “Fascists! Fascists! Fascists!!” @amyforsandiego says they are outraged because 2 teachers lost their jobs because the school was secretly transitioning kids to be trans without telling the parents The kids they were transitioning were as young as 5 years old So the teachers lost their jobs for doing this, and the activists are literally furious Somehow, not wanting little kids to be brainwashed into being transgender means you’re a “Fascists”

Here's Bernie the Fraud right after Trump's Charlottesville comments in 2017 performing the Fine People Hoax and declaring that there are no nice nazis. Bernie the Fraud is now endorsing a guy with a nazi tattoo. It's safe to say that Bernie is not a man of conviction.🤪

Congrats to Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine. He's surging by taking on the billionaire class and fighting for working families. Americans are tired of status quo politics. They want REAL change and that's what Graham will deliver.

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-…

Well, we aren’t even halfway through 2026 and we have: a Nazi running for democrats up north, the SPLC, a far left organization full of mostly black people, funding the KKK and other racists, Tucker lying and denying a clip of himself saying Trump is the antichrist even after being shown that he said it, Shawn Ryan glizzing fat Cenk like his life depends on Muslim peen, Candace Owens juggling multiple lawsuits and no Jewish attorneys to represent her, Nick Fuentes tired of politics because the closet is getting smaller and everyone knows he’s paid to act like a white racist, but really he’s just a little gay Mexican, Dave Smith realizing that the Jew haters will turn on Kapos as well, the Pope saying woke and socialist things, the SCOTUS stopping democrats from being racist… again, a 20ish year old kid and his mom exposing hundreds of millions in fraud, and still… despite many of our best efforts, thousands and thousands of people have fallen for propaganda made for illiterate Russian peasants. What a time to be alive.

@SenBlumenthal Nice try, Dick Blumenthal. Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal is just begging for a community note. Democrats like Massachusetts Democommie Senator Elizabeth Warren doomed Spirit Airlines in 2023/24 when they sued to prevent a merger with Jet Blue. x.com/Houseofyogi/st…

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.

@SenBlumenthal And what caused them to go into bankruptcy before the rise in fuel costs? 🤣 Typical Blumenthal. By stopping the merger, Democrats caused a 14,000 job loss.

Funny that Democrats will cancel a teenager who once said the n word in a group chat when she was 14, but are all in for a white guy with a Nazi tattoo, who complained that black people don't tip and blamed women for sexual assault, just because he's running as a Democrat.
