I don’t need to add any comments beyond what @benshapiro says here

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

9 days after experts in the NY Times said men would never fly, Orville and Wilbur took off. 66 years later, we landed on the moon. Today, we rescued a pilot stranded in Iran with no loss of American life while also setting up a spaceship to orbit the moon. America is awesome.

Akron gets the automatic bid. Miami (OH) gets the at-large bid. That’s my prediction. MAC gets two teams in for the first time since 1999. Just my opinion. Which is correct, of course.

@JonHusted Go Montpelier! Small school NW Ohio basketball is beautiful…

🗣️ 2 BID MAC!

Akron is a MACHINE. 94-55 over Northern Illinois. The MAC has two of the best mid-majors in college basketball. Don't forget about John Groce's squad next week in Cleveland.

It’s more and more clear that October 7 was for Islamic radicals what Pearl Harbor was for the Japanese—a brilliant tactical success that carried within it the seeds of catastrophic strategic failure

This is a really astonishing claim: Students in Mississippi & Louisiana score higher on reading tests than students in California & New York despite spending way less money per pupil and having higher child poverty rates. Decided to double check the data because, if true, this should be alarming for blue state leaders. And yup, it checks out. Reading performance (NAEP 2024, Grade 4 reading, average scale score): Mississippi: 219 Louisiana: 216 New York: 215 California: 212 Child poverty (SAIPE; “estimated percent of people age 0–17 in poverty,” 2023): Louisiana: 25.2% Mississippi: 24.3% New York: 18.6% California: 15.0% Per-pupil spending (public K–12 “current expenditures per pupil,” FY2023, inflation-adjusted to FY2023 dollars) New York: $29,588 California: $18,568 Louisiana: $14,822 Mississippi: $12,238 It should be unacceptable to spend that much more taxpayer money while delivering worse results for students.

@ProfSchleich @dbroockman @j_kalla If Democrats want to stay relevant, and to deliver for the public, they cannot wait for unions to change. They need to break more often with their friends. nytimes.com/2026/02/23/opi…

Tony Gonzales should step aside. He literally cheated on his wife with a woman who then set herself on fire after the affair ended.

New: U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, blamed his GOP opponent Brandon Herrera for politicizing the death of his former staffer on Wednesday, a day after the San Antonio Express-News reported on a text message from the woman admitting to having an affair with Gonzales.

@davidaxelrod If only we could identify who wrote this law in the first place!

A true act of genoristy and compassion in the darkest of times. Here is the story behind how #Bengals head coach Zac Taylor stepped in and helped when @ByJayMorrison tragically lost his wife, Nicki, in December: cincinnati.com/story/sports/n…

Yes, that's a real New York Times Magazine article from yesterday. Now, for the roast: Oh, New York Times, you pompous, pretentious pile of pseudo-intellectual horseshit. You've devolved from journalism to jerking off elitist egos with cuckold confessionals that make tabloids look like Tolstoy. Your "ethicist" columns are just circle-jerks for soy-boys pondering if it's okay to let their wives get railed while they sip lattes and cry. Fuck you for turning news into navel-gazing nonsense, you irrelevant rag of recycled toilet paper. Burn in hell, you biased bastards.

Yeah, I’ll say this too, part of the reason I push back against racists like Nick Fuentes who say idiotic things like “90% of the interactions white people have with black people during a typical day is negative” or whatever garbage is because I live in the south and I have lovely interactions with my black neighbors every day. But I ESPECIALLY have them at the hospital and doctors offices where many of my nurses and medical professionals are black women. And they are unfailingly lovely. Let me tell you, when you’re ready to crumble and dissolve into tears because you just got some bad news, there is nothing like the sweet older black nurse who will not hesitate for a second to hug you and pray with you and call you sweetie and honey while telling you, the Lord is in control. And this is why I believe guys like Fuentes are trying to tear down the country, not build it up. Because they are feeding enmity. Just like the racial grievance hustlers on the left. And it has to be totally rejected. Because it is not real life. The viral videos you see on social media are bad, yes. And there is cultural rot. And we do need to address that. But that is not America. And we should never let it become America.

I once shadowed a friend at a hospital and got to observe surgery. An elderly patient was having a procedure not under general anesthesia. He muttered racist comments as black professionals cared for him with GRACE under direct abuse. Now...this crazy leftist hatred runs rampant!

My roommate and lifting partner in college was an ardent atheist. I've been a devout Christian my entire life. We spent every waking moment together, from the dorm room to the gym. I truly loved him like a brother. After school ended, we went our separate ways and talked, at most, once a year. He called me the other day to let me know he was having twins. This was literally one year after my Wife and I had ours. In addition to the news of the babies, he let me know that he had dedicated his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. I wept. We debated theology constantly in school. He would go with me to church every once in a while because he said he liked the "hot girls." I didn't care, I just wanted him to sit under hot Gospel preaching. I felt like I failed him in a lot of ways. My answers weren't always the most buttoned up, and although I was living for the Lord, he still saw my sin daily. Hearing his testimony, I was reminded that I have no power to save. It is the Lord's and His alone. Let me encourage you to not grow weary in doing good. You may not see the fruit of your efforts for years, or ever at all. But, seeing the fruit is not your duty. Planting and watering it is.
