Another victim of the Democrats.  . . . "President Trump tried but failed to engineer a $500 million dollar bailout. Government bailouts are anathema in principle to free markets, but in this case it can be argued that government obstructionism made Spirit’s desperate push for the bailout inevitable.

"During its death spiral, Spirit abandoned 90 routes and dropped from 23,000 jobs in 2023 to about 7500 as of a week ago. Now, zero. Meanwhile, the upper management of American, Delta, Southwest, and United Airlines are likely (quietly) grateful to Senator Warren and her Massachusetts constituents, who continue to stick with her through thick and thin."

Elizabeth Warren Gets Wrecked by Community Notes for Trying to Spin Spirit Airlines Comments – RedState

Warren was shredded on X for her shameless spin.

What was marvelous was that she then got wrecked with a couple of savage Community Notes, which didn't let her get away with that contradiction. They reminded her how she called it a "Biden win for flyers," but now, with the shutdown, there were fewer flights and less competition.

Safe to say, she was ratioed into oblivion. " . . . More...

“The 14,000 employees at Spirit who’ve lost their job loss, the travelers who will now pay higher fares, and the shareholders and debt holders who have been wiped out can thank Elizabeth Warren,” Sen.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz reposted a critical Warren post and wrote, “Stunning.” . . .

An ancient killer returns to California

"And of course, when it comes to diseases in homeless populations, it’s not complicated: They’re mentally ill, drug addicted, and living in crowded, filthy conditions. It’s a perfect petri dish."

"Tuberculosis is one of humankind’s oldest continuously existing diseases. Confirmed cases have been found in mummies dating as far back as 3,000 B.C., although evidence suggests that the TB gene goes back tens of thousands of years.

"Age has not lessened its virulence, for it was one of the great killers in 18th- and 19th-century Europe and America. In the early 1800s, it is estimated to have caused 25% of urban deaths in the U.S., and was probably the leading overall single cause of death in America before antibiotics. And now it’s back.

"Perhaps not coincidentally, it’s back in California:

"California health officials are scrambling after tuberculosis exposures were confirmed at multiple schools as cases of the world’s deadliest infectious disease continue climbing across the state.

Fresno County officials confirmed a cluster at Justin Garza High School, where one active infection was found, though authorities did not specify whether the case involved a student or staff, according to ABC30.

Officials emphasized no one on campus is currently contagious, but 22 out of 169 people exposed have tested positive for the infection, though they show no symptoms yet.

[snip]

Meanwhile, San Diego County officials announced Wednesday a potential TB exposure was also reported at Sunset Elementary School in San Ysidro." .

. . . "Putting together these two things—homelessness and illegal aliens—has interesting results. Fresno is estimated to have around 4,500 homeless people and around 75,000-85,000 illegal aliens. Meanwhile, San Diego County has almost 10,000 homeless people and 160,000-170,000 illegal aliens. Both have huge concentrations of disease vectors.

It can’t be a coincidence that both areas are seeing TB. And no, I don’t have any data. This is all going on gut feelings, but I’m pretty sure I’m correct."

Islamist Mass Immigration Take Over

EPIC City [The Meadow] Is America’s ‘No-Go Zone’ Warning: Retired SWAT Lieutenant Tells Mark Levin Islamic Parallel Society Already Exists in Texas  

The people will be mostly friendly, peaceful inhabitants; but many not-very-nice ones will gather here. People as hostile as those liberals in the streets who chant "From the river to the sea" and "Free, free Palestine!".

"That the rampant Somali fraud in Minnesota amounting to billions of dollars has continued for so many years is yet another example of the effects of multiculturalism."

Islamic-focused EPIC City Rebrands as The Meadow - Texas Scorecard

"The gradual increase of Islamist populations in the West happens precisely through migration and very high birth rates, coupled with active political mobilization.

"Ayaan Hirsi Ali warns of a broad, systematic Islamist goal of global Islamic dominance by the help of the Western Left. The constant attack on traditional Western Judeo-Christian values reflects the partnership between radical Islam and the mainstream Left.

"Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the former Dutch atheist of Somali heritage who gave stark warnings to Europe about the consequences of mass immigration from Muslim countries. It did not end well. She had to flee the European continent and move to the United States to evade abuse and death threats from Muslims, and constant demonization of her message in the left-wing European media, writes historian and bestselling author, Hanne Nabintu Herland, founder of The Herland Report and many years contributor to World Net Daily (WND), the largest conservative news network in America. The article was first published at WND.

"Ayaan Hirsi Ali later turned from atheism and became a Christian, embracing the religion and world view that has been the backbone of Western civilization. In a recent interview, she pointed out that the conflict with Islamist systems is a battle between absolute good versus absolute evil, rooted in deep theological convictions within Islam.

"She says Westerners simply do not understand the world view of Islamic cultures. Previous engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan failed partly because they ignored this theological dimension. The same is true for Iran, a theocratic nation where its leaders are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to produce the Mahdi-Messianic return.

"Radical Islam is actively exploiting left-wing multiculturalism using it to take control in Western nations. Multiculturalism – several cultures living side by side in a nation where the host country is not imposing its own cultural values on incoming immigrant groups – is a racist Marxist narrative that completely and thoroughly dominates Europe." . . .More...

User comment: "The Mav 88 is by far the most reliable pump action for the price. Recoil is strongly felt with buckshot and slugs, but they're accurate, cheap and they go boom every time without any hangups. Often found for $200-250, they absolutely kick ass. Bought mine for $200 a few years ago and miss it dearly."

The Federalist Papers

"Jimmy Kimmel had a rough weekend, and frankly, he earned every minute of it. On Thursday night, the ABC late-night host stood in front of his cackling studio audience and delivered this "joke" about the First Lady of the United States: "And of course, our First Lady Melania is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow." The crowd, as always, howled.

Two nights later, a man named Cole Tomas Allen showed up at the Washington Hilton with a shotgun, a handgun, multiple knives, and a manifesto in which he called himself the "Friendly Federal Assassin." He charged a Secret Service checkpoint and opened fire. President Trump, Melania, Vice President Vance, and a roomful of Cabinet members had to be rushed to safety.

This was the third attempt on President Trump's life. Suddenly Kimmel's "expectant widow" line is not landing the way he hoped.

Now Melania has had enough, and she is naming names. "Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country," she wrote. "His monologue about my family isn't comedy, his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand."

The First Lady is not asking for a federal investigation. She is asking a private network to consider whether it really wants to keep paying a host who joked about her husband's death two days before a gunman tried to make it real. ABC is silent so far. The country is not." Source: X

"In a social media statement Monday morning, Melania fumed that “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country.”

Bruce digs a hole too deep and tries to climb out of it in my opinion

April 1, 2026:  Bruce Springsteen derides Trump, Pam Bondi at tour kickoff

"On the opening night of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour in Minneapolis, Springsteen wove a series of fiery anti-Trump speeches into his setlist."

"Bruce Springsteen’s passionate loathing for Donald Trump is no secret, and he didn’t mince words about the president during the opening night of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. The Boss, clad in black and accompanied by his E Street Band, kicked off the American leg in Minneapolis on Tuesday night with a 3.5-hour concert interspersed with barrages against the Trump administration.  

"That the tour’s first show was held in Minnesota’s capital was not just a coincidence. Springsteen has repeatedly expressed anger at the city’s over two-month occupation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, a Trump administration order that resulted in the killings of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. In the midst of the turmoil, Springsteen released the protest song “Streets of Minneapolis,” expressing his support for the Twin Cities. This past Saturday, Springsteen made an appearance at St. Paul’s No Kings rally, performing the anthem alongside civil rights advocates Jane Fonda and Joan Baez." . . . 

Once more FOX has to do what the networks refuse to do.  "A New Jersey news outlet accused rock legend Bruce Springsteen of hypocritically profiteering off of an expensive anti-Trump concert in his own home state while still portraying himself as a "populist" rocker.

"NJ.com published a piece on Tuesday, "Springsteen’s N.J. concert was poisoned by hypocrisy. Anti-Trump final act is a tragic mistake."

"Since kicking off the tour in Minneapolis on March 31, Springsteen, 76, has repeatedly unleashed blistering attacks on President Donald Trump during his shows, blasting the administration as "corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous" and mocking the 79-year-old as a "president who can't handle the truth" among other insults. 

April 27th; 2026  Bruce Springsteen Offers 'Prayer of Thanks' Trump Not Injured at WHCD  "Since kicking off the tour in Minneapolis on March 31, Springsteen, 76, has repeatedly unleashed blistering attacks on President Donald Trump during his shows, blasting the administration as "corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous" and mocking the 79-year-old as a "president who can't handle the truth" among other insults. " . . .

"Springsteen's home state news outlet argued the 2026 experience of the musician is unrecognizable, and the tour’s "political framing" exploits the division in America, suggesting the contradiction threatens to taint his career." . . .

While Springsteen has been a frequent Trump antagonist lately, calling
out the president and his administration for bringing “death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis” during the launch of the Land of Hope and Dreams American tour show in that city last month, the Boss took a more conciliatory tone on Sunday in the wake of what appears to be the third attempt on Trump’s life since he re-took office last year. . . .

Bruce Springsteen tells crowd to pray for Trump after White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting  “We begin tonight with a prayer for our men and women in service overseas, we pray for their safe return,” Springsteen told the crowd during the E Street Band’s show at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Sunday night, per videos circulating online. “We also send out a prayer of thanks that our president, nor anyone in the administration, nor anyone attending, was injured at last night’s incident at the [White House] press correspondents’ dinner.”

"“We can disagree. We can be critical of those in power, and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs. But there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States,” he added." 

Review 'Road Diary': Bruce Springsteen Documentary Mixes Demagoguery with Dishonesty | National Review   . . . "Springsteen’s political behavior has soured his former humble-tradesman image. Individual prerogative aside, a pop artist may trade on affection and goodwill, but Springsteen cheats on both fronts. The once-great pop star has become a terrible and phony politician. His workingman shtick, borrowed from socialist folk-music sentimentality, is sustained by the showbiz equivalent of the Democrat machine.

. . . "“This gun’s for hire, even if we’re just dancing in the dark.” The ill-advised, incendiary lyric reminded disenchanted fans that Springsteen, whose career had been guided by the ultra-left liberals Jon Landau and Dave Marsh, from what used to be called the Rock-Crit establishment, is essentially a political stooge."

Video: Bruce Springsteen Sends 'Prayers of Thanks' Trump Wasn't Harmed in WHCD Shooting, After Comparing His Administration to Nazis   "Springsteen’s comments on Sunday, however, contradict the ones he made in January at the “No Kings” rally and every night of his 20-day “Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour,” in which he tells thousands of fans “If you believe in democracy, in liberty, if you believe that truth still matters, that it’s worth speaking out, that it is worth fighting for, if you believe in the power of the law and no one stands above it, if you stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading American cities and using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens, if you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president.” . . .

"Just weeks ago, Bruce Springsteen was on stage urging thousands of his fans to fight against President Trump and his administration, whom he called “corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous.”

The shooter is a generic leftist, but a popular theory suggests more UPDATED - American Thinker

"Here are the two most recent facts currently available about Allen.

First, he was once considered a very bright mind in applied engineering:

Second, he definitely was a garden-variety leftist zealot:

. . . "One could just leave it at that: The progressive/Democrat/leftist fusion in America created a human ideological weapon. Create enough of them, and you know that one will be bold enough and crazy enough to act on his inculcated beliefs. However, when Allen acted on those beliefs, what he did was pretty complicated.

"Now, it’s entirely possible that, with his engineer’s mind, he identified a logical progression of steps and then took them. However, even if one assumes the engineering mind in action, it’s still hard to figure out how he was able to carry this plan as far as he did. That’s because there are external factors involved over which, seemingly, he would have had no control...and yet, up until the very last second, everything flowed.

"Maybe it was just dumb luck. Sometimes, as the death of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand shows, fate just seems to have it in for a victim. After all, it took Gavrilo Princip and his co-conspirators several tries to kill the Archduke, with new doors constantly opening when old ones failed. It seems as if the fates wanted to trigger World War I. "

"The 1,052-word missive obtained by The Post Sunday morning — signed “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen” — outlined his “rules of engagement” for the shooting and stated he believed it was his righteous duty to target administration officials."

The text of the document shows he wants us to like and respect him, but gives us a critique on the entire security operation: 

. . . "Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.

I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.

The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.

The Perils of a Grand Bargain with Iran

 American Greatness 

Talk of a “grand bargain” with Iran revives a failed playbook of concessions and deception that history shows only strengthens Tehran’s regime. 

"Both the president and vice president have thrown out the term “grand bargain” in recent days to describe their aspirations for a deal with the Iranian rump regime.

"It’s a term fraught with past failures that screams Iranian deception, not the interests of America First.

"Bill Clinton was the first to use the phrase toward the end of his second term to describe his aspiration to end a low-intensity conflict that had been simmering for 20 years.

"He appointed David R. Andrews as “Special Negotiator” for the mostly secret talks. Just as today, among the top Iranian demands was for the US to lift economic sanctions, which at the time included a total US trade embargo, secondary sanctions on foreign oil and gas companies investing in Iran, and the release of Iranian funds held by the US Treasury.

"Those Treasury funds were a carefully kept secret. At the time, I was engaged as a consultant to attorneys representing Stephen Flatow, whose daughter Elyssa had been murdered by Iranian-backed terrorists in Israel in 1996.

"We queried the Treasury Department about the existence of Iranian funds frozen since the 1979 revolution to pay for the Shah’s weapons purchases from the US, and were told such a fund did not exist.

"And then, lo and behold, in late 2000, the Justice Department found that the Treasury had simply destroyed all the documents. Clinton eventually released the funds—not to the Iranians, for the talks had by then collapsed—but to the Iranian regime’s US victims.

"Obama later claimed he was releasing the same frozen funds when he sent pallets of cash totaling $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016. And yes, those payments were another attempt at reaching a “grand bargain” with Iran." . . .

 . . . "Such a deal must include ironclad guarantees for the Iranian people that the regime will not use violence against peaceful protestors and, if it does, that it will face US military reprisals. After all, Donald Trump is leaving office in January 2029, and we will never have another president like him. We don’t want to have to repeat this war in another 10 years." . . .

Because if Democrats win, relations with terrorist states will be run by the same airheads dealing with them the past few decades, giving preference to those who call for death to allies that have stood by our nation for generations. Israel has been forced to dominate her enemies since we keep replacing competent leaders with feckless Democrats like Biden, Kamala, Obama, and anybody you may see refusing to stand at any Republican SOTU.  TD

President Trump Lays Out His Iran War Endgame

"Trump’s Iran strategy aims for swift, decisive victory—crushing nuclear ambitions and ending the war in weeks, not years, without risking American boots on the ground."

 Fred Fleitz › American Greatness  

So instead of kicking the Iran problem down the road to the next president, Trump is dealing with it now. That’s the kind of decisive leadership America voted for. 

The American Spectator

"Somehow, I received an invitation to the White House to watch President Trump’s prime-time address to the nation on Wednesday evening, where he laid out his endgame strategy for the Iran War. In addition to observing the strong camaraderie between Trump’s cabinet members, I saw the president in great form, confidently articulating the war’s goals and achievements and how he is keeping his promise to the American people to end this conflict in a few weeks so it does not become a quagmire or an endless war.

"The president spoke about the overwhelming strength of the American military and how the war is a decisive and historic U.S. victory. Just one month after launching Operation Epic Fury, Trump explained how the U.S. and Israel shattered Iran’s nuclear weapons program, crippled its war machine, and stripped the mullahs of their ability to bully the Middle East and the world.

"President Trump spoke about how Operation Epic Fury devastated Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile programs, air defenses, navy, and command structure. Key nuclear facilities have been reduced to rubble. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ terror networks and proxy armies have been decimated. So has Iran’s ability to project power across the Middle East or threaten our allies with drones and missiles.

"As Trump explained, Iran is no longer a global bully capable of developing nuclear weapons. The regime that spent decades chanting “Death to America” while funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and attacks on U.S. troops has been neutered.

"Trump said America’s war objectives—destroying the missile arsenal, annihilating the navy, severing proxy support, and guaranteeing Iran never goes nuclear—are nearly complete. Only two to three weeks of focused, high-intensity air strikes are needed to finish the job. President Trump emphasized how much our military accomplished in only 32 days and compared the Iran War with numerous other wars that lasted years.

"President Trump also discussed the fate of Iran’s stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium, enough reportedly to fuel 9 to 11 nuclear weapons if further processed. Some experts have called for the president to send U.S. Special Forces into Iran to recover this nuclear material, which is believed to be buried under Iran’s Isfahan nuclear facility. I expressed my strong opposition to this idea in a March 13, 2026, American Greatness article because this nuclear material is probably destroyed, scattered, and entombed beneath massive debris—and would not be readily usable for weapons without extensive additional processing that Iran no longer has the capacity to perform." . . . More...
