Americans’ Miserable Airline Experience is Absolutely Because of Democrats

William Sullivan - American Thinker   

"Democrats may not be so lucky.  They are betting that they can pull off a Hail Mary strategy that relies heavily upon the ignorance and stupidity of millions of Americans.  And sadly, there are some signs that it’s working."

Well, that did work vis a vis Hamas v Israel. Remember Greta and Code Pink? 

"There are reports saying that Elon Musk is offering to pay TSA employees’ salaries to help ease the financial pain of the government shutdown that is seriously impacting the Department of Homeland Security. 

Regardless how much money the man has, this is an incredibly altruistic gesture. 

Now, you can certainly count me among those who believe that the TSA is one of many government agencies which should have never existed at all.  But, given that it does exist, and that often good and dedicated human beings enter contracts with the federal government with the promise of income for their labor, it would be decent to want them to be paid for what they do when they go to work.  And, arguably, the fact that these agents typically earn less than the national average income means that they cannot afford these kinds of prolonged disruptions in their pay.

Additionally, given that the government has promised this service to the American people in exchange for taxpayers’ dollars, there is no downside to a private citizen ensuring that the job is done when the government has failed, right?  Paying his fair share, and all that?

Nevertheless, we are left wondering to what lengths Democrats will go in order to prevent Elon Musk from doing this. 

After all, the pain is the point when it comes the Democrats’ most recent government shutdown.  Democrats want Americans to be miserable, and want them to associate their misery with the Trump presidency and Republicans. There is no other conclusion that makes any sense.

They want Americans to think otherwise, of course.  They’re out there with the scripted attacks, suggesting that they’re ready to fund the government, including the TSA – with the caveat that the Republicans submit to their demands to carve out constitutionally legislated funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE." . . . 

Remember Obamas 2017 shutdown? 

Obama’s vindictiveness worsening impact of shutdown

"However, the Obama Administration is going out of its way to take unreasonable and unnecessary steps to block public access to parks and monuments that isn’t warranted by a government shutdown. For example, open air parks and national monuments, places without doors or gates, where people are allowed to visit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, have been barricaded off. In addition, none of these D.C. memorials were closed during the last

government shutdown in 1995-1996 under the Clinton Administration. The Obama Administration’s closing of these sites is not something they are required to do; it’s something they are CHOOSING to do. The Obama Administration wants the effects of this government shutdown to be as painful as possible."

"Loudon noted that Jeff Reed of American Family Radio put it like this: 'The sad reality is … Obama sent more guards to keep WWII vets from entering their memorial than he sent to Benghazi.'"

Victor Davis Hanson Levels Gavin Newsom's Vile Rhetoric As the CA Governor Chooses to Fight Dirty

Townhall 

 "Moreover, Hanson mocked Newsom for the erratic body movements he uses while speaking, comparing him to Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz."

"Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom constantly expresses himself inappropriately during a Tuesday episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

"Newsom has boosted his public profile by crudely attacking President Donald Trump and conducting interviews to promote his memoir amid speculation that he will mount a 2028 presidential bid. On his Daily Signal show, Hanson highlighted several recent examples of Newsom’s conduct that he found objectionable.

"'Just think of what he said the last few days, last few weeks. He told the European leaders that they basically need to take their knee pads off,” Hanson said. “In other words, they crouch down before Trump and perform a foul sex act upon him. That’s what he said.”

"Newsom in January displayed knee pads that he sells on his website while at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, claiming they were designed for leaders who were “selling out” to the Trump administration, CNBC reported.

"Hanson also criticized Newsom’s team over his press office’s March 16 X post containing a cartoon image of YouTuber Nick Shirley asking to see the children at a daycare. The post came shortly after Shirley published a video in which he claimed to document over $170 million in taxpayer fraud in California.

"And then his team, when the brave young kid who was trying to expose all of the fraud and help the taxpayer comes to California, he tweets out that he’s a — with pictures as if he’s a sexual predator,” Hanson said, referring to Shirley.

"'And he’s tweeted out that he’d like to hit Trump in the mouth. He’s gone to a group of accomplished black people and said that they’re no smarter than he is, he’s no smarter than they are,” he added.

"Newsom received backlash in February after telling a black mayor he related to him because he only got a 960 on his SATs and couldn’t read during a promotional event for his book.

“I mean, every time he opens his mouth, he says something either foul, vile, mean, stupid, self-incriminating,” Hanson said. . ..   More

Trump vs. Newsom: Who said it better?  

. . . "The real issue here: The Newsom crew is shallow, silly, unoriginal, inauthentic and detached from the issues Californians care about.

" 'While crises fester, Newsom tweets, trolls and asks if we miss Joe Biden yet. (No one does.)

"Trump’s tweets and quips work for him because they reflect who he is. Like the guy or not, he’s real, genuine, authentic.

"'Newsom’s missives flop because they’re phony, derivative, banal, inane.

"Besides … if Newsom really wanted to mimic Trump, he wouldn’t just tweet. He’d get down to business and govern.

Mojtaba Khamenei regime executes champion wrestler as Iran intensifies brutal crackdown during war

 Human rights activists call for international sports boycott after Saleh Mohammadi's execution alongside two other protesters in Qom

. . . "Pashaei told Fox Digital on Thursday that "My heart is broken for this young wrestler. Anyone who still shows sympathy for the Islamic Republic should understand — this is only a small glimpse of its brutality."

"'He added, "Before the internet was shut down, I spoke with one of Iran’s national wrestling team coaches. He warned me that Saleh’s case was critical. We were both deeply worried. I did everything I could — speaking to the media, raising awareness — but I could not save him. This regime is built on executions, fear, and hatred. It does not change. The International Olympic Committee and global sports bodies failed."

CNN reporter surprised ICE agents at Atlanta airport are easing TSA wait times

 NY Post 

 “They are patrolling the outside areas of the airport, keeping people safe, interacting with some of the people as they walk by, but for the most part they have this defensive posture where they’re sort of just walking around and making the parameter is safe,” the correspondent added."

A CNN reporter was left stunned after security checkpoint wait times dropped from hours to minutes at a major Atlanta airport following President Trump’s deployment of ICE agents to assist unpaid TSA agents.

"Senior national correspondent Ryan Young reported in disbelief that the presence of unmasked immigration agents at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport sparked a dramatic shift, with travelers zipping through security after weeks of grueling lines amid the partial government shutdown.

"'Wolf, I almost can’t believe I’m able to say this, the times have dropped off tremendously this morning,” Young told anchor Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday morning from inside the major travel hub.

“People were waiting an hour in line, now that is not the case. If you look at the main checkpoint here, it seems like there’s less than a dozen people. I don’t think people thought they were going to see the numbers where they are right now.”. . .

. . . "While ICE agents at Atlanta’s airport have reportedly kept things calm and moving, footage from Monday showed hostile travelers at various hubs chasing officers, shoving cameras in their faces, or shouting at them as they worked.

"Other clips were far less aggressive, with appreciative passengers seen shaking officers’ hands and thanking them for their help."    More...

Plans For Massive Muslim Community In Texas Ends After Daily Caller Investigation, Rep. Lance Gooden Confirms |

 The Daily Caller   

"If we cannot have whites-only or blacks-only communities. THEN WE CANNOT ALLOW MUSLIM-ONLY COMMUNITIES!!"  Comment from reader IseeYou

One nation under Allah

"Developers and local officials canceled a proposal for a new Muslim-based city in rural Texas, according to Republican Rep. Lance Gooden, after a Daily Caller investigation reported on the plans and subsequent meetings.

Kaufman County, Texas, residents became aware in early February that a potential city was going to be built in their backyard and accused local officials of being very secretive about the deal. The Daily Caller report, and locals’ allegations that the project was an unlawful attempt to establish a “sharia city,” led Attorney General Ken Paxton to announce Feb. 9 that his office launched a formal investigation.

The proposed massive “sustainable city” development was set to accommodate up to 20,000 foreign nationals in an unincorporated area of Kaufman County, according to preliminary plans. The potential developer was SEE Holding, a UAE-based, privately held global holding group headquartered in Dubai, apparently focused on sustainability and spearheading a net-zero emissions future."   More...

More Stupid Media Tricks: Trump Kept In the Dark By Aides on War, NBC 'Reports'

  HotAir  

"Ahem. Did NBC News just do a reverse Rip Van Winkle and wake up in the Biden Regency?"

. . . "And that's what this story is all about. Trump made the Protection Racket Media look like a bunch of saps. Even worse, it exposed the US media industry as being invested in America's failure if it also carries an opportunity to damage Trump. Having been exposed as water-carriers for the IRGC, now NBC wants to deflect from that revelation by painting Trump as somehow disengaged, isolated, and uninformed, which might just be the biggest case of projection since Thomas Edison invented the motion-picture industry. 

"The most stunning part of this new narrative is its transplantation, root and branch, from the actual reality of Joe Biden's presidency and the media's role in covering it up. Biden's senility had become obvious to anyone who watched him in public long before the June 2024 presidential debate on CNN. The Easter Bunny ordered the president off a rope line in April 2022, bodily inserting herself between Biden and reporters to redirect him back to Jill Biden. Biden barely engaged with the media at all, and when he did, he took few questions and responded entirely from prepared notes. He wandered on and off stages, fell repeatedly, got lost while speaking, and all the while, NBC and the rest of the media regurgitated the White House talking points about Biden being "sharp as a tack" and "running rings around aides half his age." Only after the debate blew up the fraud did reporters begin to offer "now it can be told" stories and books about the supposedly secret decline that Americans could see for years. 

"Today's NBC News story isn't a report. It's narrative maintenance, and a poor attempt at revenge for being exposed as propagandists for defeatists and TDS sufferers."   More...

This Is A Surreal War, What Is Actually Happening In Iran Is Not Being Reported | Video|

 Victor Davis Hanson: RealClearPolitics

"Put it all together, this is a surreal war. What is actually happening is not being reported. And there’s an alternate reality that’s been constructed by the left that sees this war as politically advantageous to its agenda to recapture power in the United States."

. . . "We’re just completing the second week of the so-called Iran war — this effort of the United States to bomb the theocracy into submission so they will cancel their missile and nuclear programs and to champion the popular protests on the streets that have some potential to get rid of the regime itself.

"But it’s a very surreal war. I haven’t seen — I don’t think any of us have seen — anything like it. It’s only been two weeks and we’re told that it’s dragging on, that it’s a forever war, that we’re losing, that the Pentagon and the Trump administration had no plans. And yet when you look at Iran, this huge country — much, much bigger and with a much larger population than Iraq or Afghanistan — it has no military left.

"The Navy is dismantled. The Air Force is dismantled. The Republican Guard — all of these special contingents — are under enormous assault. The command and control is destroyed. The missile defense is destroyed. And yet people say that it’s unconquerable. It doesn’t make any sense. Its output of missiles and drones at the Gulf petrol states and Israel has dropped by 90%.

"So what’s going on?

"I think part of the problem is that there’s no media coverage. There are no embedded reporters there because we are not on the ground. When you don’t have a ground fight in enemy territory, you don’t have American embedded journalists traveling with the troops who can give diverse opinions and accurate accounts.

"All we have are the journalists who are allowed into Iran. And that happens to be — guess who — CNN. And they report the party line that comes out of the Iranian theocracy.

"Again, an air war is very hard to cover because planes and pilots can’t talk to anybody. They’re at bases that are secluded and secure. They get in the planes, they fly their mission, and they go home. And there’s no way a journalist can really get to them or talk to them." . . . More...

Iran’s allies flee; Adversaries fear the domino effect of another Trump victory

  Don Surber  

"The writing is on the wall. Only Democrats refuse to read it.

"After 25 days of Operation Epic Fury, adversaries are making moves that show they want no part of an Iran that it is losing.

"Even Iran’s biggest supporter—Russia—is saying no mas. Now that Iran cannot provide Putin’s army with drones, he doesn’t need them.

"The Official Russian Foreign Ministry statement said, “The ministers discussed the situation in the Persian Gulf, which has sharply deteriorated as a result of US and Israeli aggression. Sergey Lavrov underscored the categorical unacceptability of strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, noting that such actions pose serious risks to the safety of Russian personnel and carry the potential for severe environmental consequences across the region. Mutual concern was raised that the conflict provoked by Washington and Tel Aviv would expand to the Caspian Sea.”

"Russia borders the Caspian.

"Lebanon is through with the Ayatollassholes.

"Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi tweeted, “I instructed today the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants to summon the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires in Lebanon to inform him of the decision to withdraw the agreement for the designated Iranian Ambassador, Mohammad Reza Shibani, declare him persona non grata, and request that he leave Lebanese territory no later than 29 March 2026.”

Did You See This Clip of Obama's CIA Director Talking About Iran?

 Townhall 

"If this were 1942, Brennan would take Hitler's side over the Allies in negotiations and in deciding whom to trust. He just exposed that." 

"It’s beyond parody that a former CIA director could be so out of touch, simply because he disliked an election outcome. This was a gathering of the so-called 'morons' on MS Now—true, that’s often the case, but this time, it was a particular brand of idiocy. They had John Brennan, Obama’s former spy chief, who arguably went rogue during the Russia investigation, claiming he would trust Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, over Donald Trump. 

"John, are we experiencing dementia, or are you just getting your shots in before your probable indictment for giving false testimony about the Russiagate hoax, especially regarding the Steele dossier? 

"Trump launched Operation Epic Fury almost a month ago, where we’ve destroyed Iran’s navy, its nuclear weapons ambitions, and the core of its political and military leadership. The cream of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is gone. The Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is dead, and his son is pretty much half dead. Its ballistic missile capability has been severely degraded; its infrastructure and manufacturing base are being dismantled. This regime will collapse. But there’s been a pause as talks reportedly resumed on a new deal between the US and Iran. 

“'Well, I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump, because he could not acknowledge the truth even when it—he's slapped in the face with it repeatedly,” said Brennan on MS Now."  . . . More...

 

NEW: GOP Targets Far-Left Radical James Talarico After Primary Win  . . . "As Talarico steps into the role of Democratic standard-bearer, the party is looking to channel the momentum from his primary win into a strong general election campaign. Progressive advocates believe his message can appeal to a broad audience. Adam Green from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee noted that voters are looking for bold, definable action, suggesting that Talarico’s approach aligns with voter sentiment.

"However, he must also contend with the fact that Texas remains a deeply conservative state. As he prepares for the battle ahead, Talarico’s road to victory will depend on his ability to resonate with independent and moderate voters while countering the Republican narrative being crafted around him. The upcoming months will be critical as he works to solidify his position and outline a vision that speaks to the heart of Texas."    

'I Was There': Survivor of Oct. 7 Massacre Takes On Mamdani's Wife Directly for Supporting Claim That Oct. 7 Rapes Weren't Real (UPDATED)

The Gateway Pundit; The Western Journal   

“'I would expect any woman — and especially Mrs. Mamdani — to at least try to imagine. To close her eyes and picture evil people breaking into her home, her safe space, assaulting her and her husband, daring to sexually violate her in front of her family, murdering her children before her eyes. This is exactly what our women and men experienced on Oct. 7th.'”

"New York City First Lady Rama Duwaji received a stern reality check about the Hamas terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, after liking a social media post claiming the mass rapes committed that day were a hoax.

"According to an article in the New York Post, Duwaji liked a post on social media platform Instagram in February 2024 where a user questioned the legitimacy of reporting by The New York Times regarding the attack.

"“If I told you that The New York Times hired a recently graduated college student with only a couple prior articles written on the subject of food and cooking to be their lead on the ground ‘reporter’ on the ‘mass rape’ hoax they fabricated, would you believe it? That’s Adam Sella,” the post read.

"It was later screenshotted and uploaded to social media platform X by The Free Press reporter Olivia Reginald, showing Duwaji liking it.

California voters show ‘historically high' disinterest in governor's race. That could hurt Democrats

S.F. Chronicle

Author and former Fox News host Steve Hilton announced his
 run as a Republican candidate for California governor

"Californians will receive their June 2 primary ballots in early May and yet there remains a “historically high” level of unawareness of the election to choose a new governor, a collective statewide shrug that is increasing the likelihood that a Republican will be the next governor of deep blue California. 

"The big questions surrounding the race continue to be: “Who’s that?” and “Who cares?” 

"While record numbers of people are expected to take to the streets for Saturday’s anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstrations across the nation, California’s likely voters have yet to show the same sort of interest in the race for governor. Termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom has not endorsed a candidate." . . .
