U.S. Corporate Elites Drive Private Jet
Spending to 10-Year High

Original Article

If you’re stuck in a line somewhere waiting to board a regular commercial flight or queueing on arrival in the vain hope you’ll soon be reunited with your baggage, one thing is certain. No member of the global corporate elites will be there with you because they are riding high in a private jet that uses facilities far removed from the madding crowds.

Comments:

So, so maddening. They're all living in their bubbles full of baubles, like private security, private jets, private gated-community mansions. Far, far removed from the crime, open borders, inflation they created for us peasants.

Some private jets are taking paying passengers now. From what I hear the cost is about 10 times what a regular flight would be, but there is none of the nonsense you have to endure at today's airports.

Private jets may be in wider use, but have you looked up lately at the absence of small planes? Where I live the weekends used to be filled with small Pipers and Cessnas, even bigger twin engine planes. Airplanes are expensive, to be sure, but the cost of aviation gasoline is heading into the higher troposphere, this, of course, thanks to Biden and the Democrats. A local airport has laid off several workers because gasoline prices are keeping planes grounded.

When asked about his use of private jets, John Kerry said it was really the only sensible choice for someone like him.

If people want to fly on private jets, I don’t blame them, I’d like to do it too, however costs make it cost prohibitive for us. BUT don’t use our tax dollars to pay for it. That’s BS. And if they are some leftist elitist do not preach to me about global warming.

Who says we are going to stop the production of fossil fuels? Kerosene has to be extracted from crude oil and further purification must be completed so that it will burn clean enough to run in jet engines. Once extracted chemists must figure out the perfect blend between kerosene and gasoline so that the fuel burns efficient and keeps the engine running properly. Also, those huge yachts also use Marine Fuel Oil. They just don't want everyone else to be able to get around however they choose. Much more control over electricity, and especially if they end up with autonomous vehicles even more control over the ability to use them, and to charge for each use.

A nephew is very wealthy, and has a wife and four kids. Figuring out the cost of six first class tickets, it's cheaper and a hell of a lot more convenient for him to charter a jet when they go on a family trip. When I first heard of this, I thought it was extravagant, but really, six times a $1200 first class ticket will get you $7200 towards the chartered jet fee. Not sure if that is 2/3 of the fee or what, but lots of folks just are very, very sick of the low life jerks and the PITA TSA fools, and are willing to pay to avoid being treated badly.

A new report revealed that Cassidy Hutchinson, the sham January 6 committee’s star witness from last week, reached out for help from First Amendment groups. On February 1. she sent a text seeking help from the First Amendment Fund, a group started by the American Conservative Union that helps Trump officials cover legal costs related to the sham January 6 investigations. It appears Hutchison had quite a different attitude towards the committee prior to her appearance at the “emergency hearing” last week.

Joe Biden on Friday spoke with Governors on ‘abortion rights’ and pushed for the senate to nuke the filibuster to ‘codify’ Roe v Wade. This is the second day in a row Joe Biden has viciously attacked the Supreme Court. Joe Biden referred to the Supreme Court as an “extremist court” on Friday. “This tragic reversal of Roe v. Wade, a terrible, extreme decision, upending lives and impacting the health and safety of millions of women. I share the public outrage that this extremist court has committed to moving America backwards with fewer rights,” Biden said.

A judge blocked a Kentucky law which instituted a near total ban on abortion in the state Thursday. The judge’s decision makes Kentucky the third state, after Texas and Louisiana, to have a trigger law blocked following the Supreme Court’s Friday decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center. After the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, the abortion issue has been returned to the states, allowing many states to reinstate bans previously nullified by Roe.

It’s pretty funny to watch the mainstream media still try to make Joe Biden come across as a serious President and spin his performances with all their fake news narratives to make him look better. But the man isn’t exactly cooperative. 79-year-old Joe Biden has completely lost his way. After drinking water during the latest NATO summit Biden lost himself and invented a new move called “air clap”. He didn’t even hear that the person giving a speech was still talking and tried to clap but reminded us of the move from a few months back when he attempted to shake hands with thin air!

Gretchen Whitmer and start a civil war ahead of the 2020 presidential election will be re-tried after a jury failed to reach a verdict in their cases earlier this year. A federal judge set a trial date in August for Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. Thursday after declining their lawyer’s request to clear them of conspiracy and weapons charges.

During an attempted robbery at Ryan Howard Jersey store in Philadelphia, the would-be robber received instant justice and was killed. As a man tried to get money out of an ATM just after 1 a.m., another man walked into the store and announced a robbery, police said. Police believe the victim then took out his own gun and shoot the would-be robber who died. Police are now looking for the victim and they would like to charge him because of Pennsylvania's stand your ground rule. Police have not identified him, but say he is in his late 20s or early 30s.

If you’re a Hollywood elite facing the wrath of the diversity mob, a cool $4 million judiciously dispersed can buy you a lot of redemption. Friends creator Marta Kauffman has atoned for the sitcom’s lack of diversity by pledging $4 million to her alma mater, Brandeis University, to establish an endowed professorship in the school’s African and African American studies department. The result: glowing mainstream media coverage and social media feedback. In a mea culpa with the Los Angeles Times, Marta Kauffman prostrated herself before the diversity police, saying she is “embarrassed” by the lack of minority characters in Friends.

Biden’s handlers came up with a new way to deflect when Joe has one of his “cognitive spells,” he simply fluffs it off with a self-deprecating joke, and the audience awkwardly laughs. The entire “Alzheimer’s moment” is just laughed off, and brushed aside as if it’s some normal, everyday occurrence. However when he needs to face reporters his handlers are doing everything they can to remove the reporters or to keep them quiet! Their failed attempt to put a handler into an Easter bunny was a really stupid way to take Joe away from reporters!

Rep. Mike Johnson warned that Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin's vaccine mandate is "causing major damage" to America's Armed Forces. With the deadline to comply fast approaching, Johnson has called attention to the consequences enforcement of the mandate might have. "@SecDef's COVID vaccine mandate is causing major damage to the readiness of our Armed Forces," he wrote on Twitter, "particularly our Army." Nearly 13 percent of the National Guard has not yet been vaccinated, with that number rising to between 20 and 30 percent in some states. Around 10 percent of Army Reserve forces have also not yet gotten the jab.

In talks with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Biden promised to increase the number of Navy destroyers stationed at Rota Naval Station in Spain from four to six. “As I said before the war started, if Putin attacked Ukraine, the United States would enhance our force posture in Europe and respond to the reality of a new European security environment,” he said alongside Sánchez after the two met.

Governor Gavin Newsom released attack ads on Monday urging Florida residents to move to California in the days after it became the first state to move to offer all illegal immigrants state-subsidized health insurance. Newsom bought $105,000 worth of ad spots that started airing on Fox News in Florida, which is sparking speculation that he could mount a presidential run in 2024.(Snip)Last weekend, Newsom released a Fiscal Year 2023 budget that includes offering undocumented immigrants, regardless of age, state-subsidized health insurance.

Infectious disease experts and public health advocates are warning that the Biden administration has been too slow to respond to the monkeypox outbreak and that the U.S. is at risk of losing control of the disease. The response to monkeypox is mirroring the worst parts of the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, they say, with severely limited testing and a sluggish rollout of vaccines leading to a virus that’s spreading undetected. “Where we have lagged is streamlining testing, making vaccines available, streamlining access to the best therapeutics.(Snip)Unlike COVID-19, monkeypox is not a novel virus, and the strategies to reduce the spread are well known.

Robert Crimo was described as a recluse by his uncle and others who knew him, including neighbors and former classmates.

But today's military is asking too much of our young people, as evidenced by the crashing recruitment rates that threaten to deplete a military already running short of soldiers.

He cited examples of water being wasted on lawns and golf courses despite reservoirs drying up, and progressive politicians voting to increase government spending despite inflation and growing national debt. After the inane generalities, Romney began inching toward his real target: Donald Trump.

Because Independence Day always makes for a slow news weekend, that leaves room for looking at and thinking about other news stories that wouldn’t normally make the grade at American Thinker. The one that caught my eye was the Daily Mail’s huge photo essay showing the wedding of Charlotte Freud, one of Rupert Murdoch’s granddaughters, to Luke Storey, a rapper. It was held in the exquisitely picturesque English Cotswold district but the photos are a testament to the death of beauty in the modern era. If you like things that are quintessentially English, the Cotswold district is the place for you:

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is under fire from fellow Democrats for flight delays and cancellations that have paralyzed the nation’s airports, wrecked holiday travel plans and caused Americans undue financial stress. Progressive lawmakers, in particular, say Mr. Buttigieg needs to do more to rein in airline companies that have taken billions in public subsidies since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s time for the Transportation Department to impose massive fines on poor-performing airlines,” said Sen. Bernard Sanders, a self-described socialist from Vermont. In an email to supporters, Mr. Sanders called on the White House and Mr. Buttigieg to require airlines to refund passengers for flights delayed more
