Video: Dan Crenshaw has gone John Wick
(non-violently, of course) against United

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/21/2024 5:24:18 PM

The fictional John Wick, a retired assassin, got back into the business because bad guys killed his dog, a foolish decision resulting in almost 500 deaths at John Wick’s hands. That, of course, is the movies. Real life is Rep. Dan Crenshaw (D-TX) gunning politically for United Airlines (“UA”) because an airline executive, instead of apologizing after an employee manhandled Crenshaw’s dog, refused to acknowledge the airline’s error and, instead, attacked Crenshaw. I’m no Dan fan, but I can support him in his fight against an airline that is so committed to political correctness that it’s abandoned customer service and, along the way, seems to be putting Americans at risk.

UA put a big time unfriendly (a national level lie was included). I diverted my staff to other airlines…but after 25 years, and their bankruptcy, Ingave them a second chance. This time it was just personal, they upcharged me for a substandard seat. Don’t mind shifting more revenue to other airlines…as much as I can, as long as they are an airline, Now, with their “hire the unqualified” more than ever I drive rather than risk my life.

Crenshaw is another one of these so-called republicans who at election time talks like a true patriot and conservative and then after winning re-election immediately rushes to embrace the Deep State Agenda and back stabs his voters. No sympathy at all for his troubles with United Transline. Speaking of dogs this guy is a real back stabbing mutt.

The list of companies no longer caring rot about their customers is getting long, as we are now being served by a limited number of large international corporations that don't care a lot about the US. I can list Comcast, Walmart, Bank of America, and all government and agencies. Sure customers complain, but just try finding a person to complain to. Many accept customer emails, but they have dropdown boxes that suggest what your complaint is, which it is not, and accept none but the complaint issues they list--yeah, I am thinking of the post office, which says they will respond in 14 days, but don't, and not ever.

Crenshaw, call him D-Texas, or RINO-Texas, there is a difference, but it’s not huge. As to the airlines, they all suck anymore. They look for every opportunity to heap more abuse on their customers. I used to have to fly United a couple times a year for business, but thankfully those days are gone. In this particular case, it’s hard to know who to root for, kinda hope they both lose.

I have not flown commercial since April of 1995 when I flew American from DFW to PHX to attend the NRA Convention. I would rather fly in a Cessna 182 than to set foot in a commercial airliner. Normal people are not treated well by the airlines. Crew qualifications and maintenance procedures are questionable. TSA is a bunch of POC McDonald’s rejects. You can have all that if you want.

I haven't flow commercially since 2005 and I remember when United Airlines had the commercial with the incomparable Gene Hackman's voice, "United, come fly the friendly skies." Now I've heard from others that flying has become a rather unpleasant experience. A big part of that are the idiots who make up the TSA workforce. If I don't have to fly I won't. Also never mess with man's best friend.

United Airlines has mistreated me badly three or four times over the past 55 years and I refuse to fly them any more. They've always been awful. From their openly rude flight attendants in First Class cabins, to overcharging me wildly while I was moving to another country, to holding my boarding pass and calling US Customs on me (for no good reason) when I was off to my freshman year at university, they have a terrible track record with me, and a bad reputation throughout the industry. If I were Rep. Crenshaw, I'd fly American through Dallas or Delta through Atlanta, or Southwest, to DCA. It's more time wasted, but worth it just to avoid United Airlines. Their CEO once said, after yanking an ophthamologist off his flight to Louisville that, "We sometimes forget that we're carrying passengers." He actually said that! At least he was being honest for once. The way those harridans treated Mrs. Crenshaw, her child and mother, was inexcusable.

Joe Biden is always talking about the military. But his administration has a very careless approach to the safety of the members of the American military. We've seen it now many times from Afghanistan and how they dealt with the death of the 13 young Americans killed in the bombing during Biden's chaotic withdrawal until now. Last week, we saw that Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder had an abysmal response on the missing Navy SEALs who went into the water in the Gulf of Aden as they were part of a mission to interdict advanced weapons being sent from Iran to the Houthis.

It seemed like a good idea. College campuses across the country were erupting in Jew-hating outbursts, and parents were rightly worried about their Jewish college-aged kids caught up in the frenzy of hate. On Facebook, a group called Mothers Against College Antisemitism (M.A.C.A.) was founded and grew quickly to over 50,000 members. They shared information, emailed, called, and signed petitions. They stood united against the oldest hatred rearing its head again. But just as fast, fissures formed. The cudgel of DEI – that is, “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies that had been used against Jewish students – was the subject of feverish debate. Sure, the policies were bad for Jews, but weren’t

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida Republicans may set aside millions in taxpayer money to help pay for former President Donald Trump’s multiple legal battles. A Miami Republican who endorsed Trump’s reelection has filed a bill for this year’s legislative session that could allow the state to hand out up to $5 million to the embattled Republican frontrunner for president. The legislation has already won the endorsement from Jimmy Patronis, the state’s Republican chief financial officer, who for months has been publicly calling for taxpayers to pay to defend Trump from criminal charges. “We’re in the midst of an historic moment where we’re watching an election

They struck eight sites, according to the statement from the US and UK, which conducted the strikes, and Canada, the Netherlands, Bahrain, and Australia, which supported the attacks. It was a smaller number than the first joint operation on January 11 that struck over 30 Houthi targets.

SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly 30,000 professors, librarians, coaches, and other workers at California State University, the largest public university system in the U.S., walked off the job Monday in a weeklong strike to demand higher wages. The stoppage across Cal State’s 23 campuses comes two weeks after CSU officials ended contract negotiations with a unilateral offer starting with a 5% pay raise this year, effective Jan. 31, far below the 12% hike that the union is seeking. With the new semester beginning Monday, classes for many of the system’s 450,000 students could be canceled, unless faculty individually decide to cross picket lines.

Netanyahu had earlier dismissed the militant group’s conditions to end the war, which he said included leaving Hamas in power and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the territory. A Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, told Reuters the Israeli prime minister’s refusal to end the military offensive in Gaza “means there is no chance for the return of the [Israeli] captives."
