‼️CNN Attempted to Trap Me‼️
CNN: “I’ve noticed when you urge people to action, you often use the word, ‘peacefully.’
Is that to avoid another Jan. 6 type incident?”
Me: “With all due respect, it’s to avoid people like you guys saying that I’m anything but [peaceful].”

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.
Karen Bass is the worst leader I’ve ever seen. Nobody knew she was out of the country during the Palisades Fire. Nobody could order air tankers because her deputy mayor was under house arrest. Her LADWP chief didn’t know our reservoir was empty. Karen Bass is running an absolute CLOWN SHOW. Vote like your life depends on it! Cuz it does!
The town of Rutland Massachusetts has canceled its huge annual Fourth of July celebration that has been happening in Rutland for over 100 years! Last week the residents of Rutland voted down a massive override that would’ve resulted in huge property tax increases for many of the residents. This includes senior citizens that cannot afford the increase.
Today residence of Rutland learned that the town has decided to cancel the Fourth of July festivities this year. Yes this is the 250th anniversary of our country! July 4th festivities in Rutland have always been funded by private donations. They are telling the residence that this is not a money problem, they are saying that we don’t have enough police officers and first responders to staff the festivities.
They are blaming this on the failed override. In past years, most of these essential workers have been brought from other communities to help manage this large annualevent in Rutland. Shame on the corrupt politicians that are using a failed override vote to punish citizens of Central Massachusetts and Rutland! It’s just another day and the people’s Republic of Massachusetts!
Please share for more visibility 🙏🙏
Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.
Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.
Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.
Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.
Watch the whole thing.
From the time my son was a toddler, my late dad used to always introduce him by saying, “This is my grandson, Charlie Marcus from Brooklyn,” like a mob movie. But sure enough, my son still thinks of himself that way.
Reminder: even though nearly half of New England is conservative/Republican, Democrats have gerrymandered the GOP to zero house seats in the entire region.
As a long term resident of Los Angeles who has NEVER been political until now… nothing describes me better than the courage of this local Angeleno who says it best
I don’t know homeboy here but he speaks for so many of us in California that I’d like to thank him for his courage in speaking up
None of us are political. We just want love and acceptance for all. He’s a bright light speaking out for us all
