Liberals Showed Their Spirit When They
Killed an Airline
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/2/2026 7:22:51 PM
Spirit Airlines has ceased operations. Now you may not care because you didn't fly Spirit, and have heard a lot of bad things about the airline, or more specifically, the behavior of its customers, but you should. Thousands of people are going to lose their jobs, and ticket prices on all airlines are going to skyrocket. My wife and I were regular flyers on Spirit, and we actually found that it was not only much cheaper than the alternatives, but a better flying experience as well. We didn't mind the "pick what services you want" model of pricing, which so many complained about, because the pricing

US President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end its war with the US and Israel, calling it unacceptable.
The 14-point proposal reportedly includes multiple stages of negotiations, with the sides first bringing the fighting to a close and opening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. The US and Iran would only later begin talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, according to reports on the Iranian terms. The offer also reportedly floats an up to 15-year freeze on nuclear enrichment, followed by curbs on the program.
“It’s not acceptable to me. I’ve studied it, I’ve studied everything – it’s not acceptable,”
Sometimes you have to wonder what the point of fighting the decline of Western Civilization is.
It seems inevitable, and enough people seem to tolerate it that it's easy to think about giving up, moving someplace where the deterioration will take longer or be avoided by a large enough concentration of people who share our values, so sanity will prevail.
I continue to believe this attitude is wrong, morally, strategically, and tactically. It may be tempting to go down that path, but we are not put on this Earth to do easy things; we are put here to do important things, which are often hard.

More Devastating News for Democrats

The Supreme Court's bombshell ruling striking down racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act sent shockwaves through the political landscape this week — and Southern Republican governors wasted no time acting on it. For Democrats, who have spent years leaning on race-based district engineering to protect their congressional seats, the timing couldn't be worse.
Alabama and Tennessee both called special legislative sessions on Friday to redraw their congressional maps, and the dominoes are already starting to fall across the South.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey moved quickly,
We were originally referred to as "baby boomers," the generation born in the immediate aftermath of World War II. From 1946 to 1964, the U.S. Census Bureau tells us that more than 76 million babies were born.
Why 1964 as a cutoff point? That's the year that the birth control pill was introduced in the U.S., and the birth rate began to decline.
Today, we're simply referred to as "Boomers." We grew up in a period of massive wealth creation, painful social change, and the specter of nuclear annihilation hanging over our heads. All of that impacted our worldview and led to a mixed record of accomplishments
Trump rejects the War Powers Resolution
10 replies
In 1973, when Nixon was winding down the Vietnam War, Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution. The Democrats backing the resolution held veto-proof majorities in both chambers of Congress. Nixon’s veto was symbolic only.
The Resolution puts the president on a clock: He has 48 hours after initiating an armed conflict to notify Congress, and after 60 days, unless Congress gives him permission, he must end the military action.
Today, President Trump has declared war on the War Powers Resolution, saying that Congress cannot constrain his constitutional role as commander in chief and executive over foreign policy.
The United States has been reassessing the force strength our military maintains around the world, under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in President Trump's second term, and it is now acting on that review, according to new reporting on Friday:
President Trump ordered the Pentagon on Friday to withdraw about 5,000 U.S. service members from Germany amid his public feud with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The redeployment of troops will bring the number of service members roughly to pre-2022 levels and will affect a brigade combat team and potentially other U.S. forces already in Germany, according to a senior Pentagon official.
It's happening again. Only days after King Charles III and Queen Camilla's visit to the United States, the United Kingdom's government has raised its terror threat level to Severe. This has prompted the American embassy in London to issue a warning to Americans in the UK. It has been less than three days since the last terrorist attack in Britain, that being the Golders Green attack.

The Department of War has finalized contracts with seven leading technology firms to deploy their AI systems in classified military environments, marking a significant expansion of the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence capabilities.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Department of War announced Friday that it has completed agreements allowing the use of AI technology from OpenAI, Google, SpaceX, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, and startup Reflection AI in classified settings. The deals represent a major step forward in the Pentagon’s push to integrate cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools into military operations.
Maybe it’s just my suspicious, pessimistic nature. But the conservative websites and forums I surf have been emitting a strange “vibe” these last few days. The Trump assassination attempt details are discussed, and anger is vented. But, there seems to be little contemplation of what this latest attack on Trump portends for MAGA’s future.
Even MSM news lacks its usual frenzy of event details, witness interviews, and background on the shooter, his friends, and family. Basic details are described, then ignored. They’ve mostly abandoned “if it bleeds, it leads” reporting to increase audience size. Minimal muckraking on the shooter. Minimal finger-pointing on failed responsibilities,

As Beege wrote earlier, the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, has dropped out of the Democratic Party race to become the next candidate for Senate this fall. It's an excellent piece, of course, but the subject bears even more discussion.
Mills was the hand-picked candidate of Chuck Schumer, who will himself likely be booted from his formerly safe New York Senate seat by a socialist candidate. As the Senate Minority Leader, he should have had all the cards, or more specifically, all the money in the world, to help Mills get over the finish line.
Mills dropped out because she ran out of cash. Nobody cares what Chuck thinks
'Normie Extremism' and Looming Violence

he Atlantic published a story today connecting would-be assassin Cole Allen to Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson. All of them, according to the author, are "normie extremists," a new trend made up of people whose actions seem more extreme than their ideology, at least at first glance.
On Saturday night, after Cole Tomas Allen’s alleged attempt to assassinate President Trump and administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a familiar ritual began on the internet: compiling a portrait of the shooter, based on the digital breadcrumbs of his online life...

A senior Iranian military official warned Saturday that a “renewed conflict” with the United States is “likely” after President Donald Trump said he is “not satisfied” with Tehran’s latest proposal and signaled military options remain on the table, saying he “can’t imagine” the offer would be acceptable given Iran has “not yet paid a big enough price” for its actions over the past 47 years. Speaking to reporters before departing West Palm Beach, Florida, President Trump said he would review the proposal after being briefed only on the “concept of the deal,” noting, “They’re going to give me the exact wording now…
Does Islam Work?

Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies?
These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign, beneficial to both individuals and societies, albeit “hijacked” at the hands of a “tiny minority of extremists,” the likes of which we see in all religious traditions.
Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly
Stephen Cooper, a Satanist biological male who identifies as a woman named Katrina DeVille and is running as a Democratic Socialist in the 2026 primary for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, has been forced to delete a campaign-related video showing him at a gun range shooting at targets that included President Donald Trump.
Cooper was subsequently banned from speaking at the Democrat Party’s 8th Congressional District convention being held this weekend at UW-Green Bay.
After facing the severe blowback for the unhinged video, Cooper posted a TikTok video attempting to walk back the controversy,
At least one person was killed and three were injured in a mass shooting at a post-prom party in Indianapolis early Sunday, cops said.
Police were called to a rental house on the city’s north side at around 3:30 a.m. to reports of gunfire, WTHR reported.
When officers arrived, they found one woman who was critically wounded. She was rushed to the hospital and later died of her injuries.
Cops later received reports of two more victims who had managed to walk into a nearby hospital for treatment. All four victims are believed to have been shot at the same property, a short-term rental where a post-prom party was being thrown.

The MSM, radical left Democrats, and progressives like Hillary Clinton, spout that we are experiencing an 'existential threat to democracy.' For example, Dr. Steven Levitsky and Lucan A. Way wrote, "U.S. democracy will likely break down during the Second Trump administration in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for a liberal democracy -- full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties."
Hillary says, "Our democracy is in crisis..." Her claim sounds ominous, worthy of further investigation.

In a 2023 video, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was seen bragging about how the Department of Transportation (DOT) was getting involved in opposing a merger between Spirit Airlines and JetBlue Airlines.
In a video from an interview in 2023 with CNN, posted to X, Buttigieg expressed that it was “important to make sure that passengers have choices” and that they “have access to low fares.”
“Our department, the Department of Transportation has generally not gotten involved in these merger cases, but that’s changing today,” Buttigieg said at the time. “It is so important to make sure that passengers have choices,

ormer top official in the Biden administration is questioning the decision by his Department of Justice to stop the Jet Blue and Spirit Airlines merger after Spirit announced its closure on Saturday.
Neera Tanden, the CEO of the Center for American Progress, served as U.S. Domestic Policy Council from 2023 to 2025 and senior advisor and staff secretary to former President Biden from 2021 to 2023.
"Given the news today that Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people are losing their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the Garland DoJ stopping the JetBlue merger with Spirit Airlines was the right call.
The first drones intended to stop school shootings from Campus Guardian Angel are set to go live Friday at Deltona High School.
Florida’s legislature has appropriated $557,000 to have drones in the Broward, Leon, and Volusia school districts, with Deltona High School being the first.
Georgia has also appropriated $550,000 for drones in five of their high schools, yet to be decided by the State’s Department of Education.
“Georgia went from first conversations to funding a pilot through the legislature in maybe 120 days,” CEO and co-founder of Campus Guardian Angel Justin Marston told The Center Square, which is lightning speed for Congress.
Many other states are interested in piloting these drones.

“Oh, sweet baby Jesus,” she wrote while following the incident.
She then grew angry after learning the third attempt on Trump’s life had failed.

Jimmy Kimmel joked about Rudy Giuliani rising from “the grave” in a monologue just days before the former New York City mayor was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
“So last night, America’s mayor, Rudy Giuliani, rose from the grave to weigh in on the ongoing drama involving me,” Kimmel said in a monologue on Tuesday, referencing his ill-timed joke about first lady Melania Trump looking like an “expectant widow” days before the President Trump assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. During “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Kimmel played a clip of Giuliani, 81, remarking on his podcast that the embattled talk show host is —
What would be unpardonable is if US President Donald J. Trump simply replaced a brutal Islamic dictatorship with an equally brutal non-Islamic dictatorship -- as seen in other adversaries of the West such as Russia, China, and North Korea.
At the height of the violence in mid-January, Trump memorably told the Iranian protesters that "HELP IS ON ITS WAY", while calling on the anti-regime activists to "seize control of your destiny."
Iran is still drawing out negotiations as it reconstructs its nuclear and missile sites.
Meanwhile, concerns are growing that Trump is losing interest in the plight of ordinary Iranians. He has recently been stating that he no longer regards regime—
