@tyromper@MattWalshBlog I had the same initial reaction. 80/20 rule all the way! For alcohol, for sugar, for cheat meals, for the gym, for work, you can apply it to everything.
@mattvanswol@CollegeMama5@harryjsisson This is my district! My small town of 45,000 people with one zip code has four different congressional reps. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
@scarletkate@MeghanMcCain@spencerpratt This is where you don’t understand Americans. We don’t elect people because they’re famous. We elect them because we like their ideas. We don’t judge them based on their former career. Again, this is America, where with enough determination & hard work, you can do anything.
@scarletkate@MeghanMcCain@spencerpratt It looks like you’re from Canada, Kathy. Maybe you don’t know this but USC is a great school. And part of what makes the USA so great is that anyone, from any background, can do anything here with passion, perseverance, hard work and the American dream.

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.
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
Now that we've successfully exposed the affair between a married NFL coach and an NFL reporter, can our crack team of national journalists please give us a quick update on the $16 billion of tax payer money that was fraudulently handed out to fake Somali daycares in Minneapolis?
THE POPE IS WRONG
The pope is wrong.
I'm not talking about the pissing match between him and Trump, an embarrassment arising from two men with problem egos.
I'm talking about the gospel. He's wrong about that.
On Palm Sunday, presiding at the altar, dressed in his vestments and regalia, standing above the body and blood of Christ, proclaiming as the bishop of Rome the gospel, he said, "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them."
Let that sink in.
"Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them."
That is preposterous, and conflicts directly with the Bible, the teachings and history of his own Roman Catholic Church, and the very nature of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Bible, there are six separates Psalms written as prayers by David while he was waging war. In these prayers he asked God to bless his efforts and defeat his enemies.
Does the pope want us to believe that the Lord ignored those prayers and rejected David as he offered them? Should those Psalms be removed from the Bible canonized by his own church four times over more than a thousand years?
What about Jehoshaphat, Elisha, Joshua and Hezekiah -- as well as the entire tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh -- who all while waging war prayed fervently to God to deliver them and subdue their enemies?
God ignored them, too, and rejected them?
That's a little hard to swallow given that each one of them was blessed with success in battle and rejoicingly thanked the Lord for it.
That's what the Bible says.
As far as the doctrinally authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church, the church declares the principle of "just war" -- based on the teachings of saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas -- and Catholic tradition specifically calls on those waging war to ask for victory in justice and protection for Catholic troops.
And what of the Catholic chaplains in our Armed Forces? Should they tell young men and women waging war in their country's service that their prayers are pointless, as they will be ignored and rejected by their Savior? Isn't that what the Holy Father said?
Finally, there is the matter of Constantine as he prepared for the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. A pagan who was about to wage war, he asked God to bless him with victory. At that point, he saw a cross in the sky and words that told him to march under its banner. That led to his conversion, the embrace of Christianity by the Roman Empire, the Nicaean Creed, and the official governmental sponsorship that made the Catholic Church one of the most powerful and wealthy institutions in the western world.
Is the pope saying that the Lord turned a deaf ear to Constantine? Was that all a mistake or misunderstanding? Should we still be worshipping the sun god?
Of course not.
But this isn't about history or doctrine, soldiers or even the Bible.
It's about Jesus Christ.
"Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them."
Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus listens to everyone's prayers, and Jesus rejects no one.
The Lord loves us all, no matter who we are, no matter what we have done, no matter how far we have fallen. God loves us all, and waits like the adoring Heavenly Father he is for us to reach out to him. He rejoices when we pray, he embraces us when we pray, he pours out his blessings upon us when we pray.
Even if we are waging war.
Even if we are in the depths of sin. Maybe especially if we are in the depths of sin.
"The Lord is near to all who call upon him," David said. And that is true, no matter what Leo said.
God always loves us, God is always there for us, God will always hear our prayers.
It's unfortunate the vicar of Christ seems confused on that point.
The inflation story in one chart:
Where government spending and subsidies are highest, prices rise the fastest.
Where competition is highest, prices fall.
NEW: Astronaut Victor Glover shares the gospel to a crowd who welcomed him back home to Houston, Texas.
People were seen lining the streets to welcome Glover back home.
“Some of us have never met before. And you know whose fault that is? Ours. So let's choose to do this. Let's be this more. Let's be neighbors.”
“I don't know if you heard me say it, but God told us to love Him with all that we are and love our neighbors as ourselves.”
What a remarkable person.

Michigan won the national title with a 37-3 record and 29 double-digit wins against the nation’s No. 1 strength of schedule.
Set the all-time record for Big Ten wins (19). First B1G team to go undefeated on the road in 50 years.
One of the best college basketball teams ever.
