Just here to reclaim my time.

What he said.

[Izengabe @Izengabe_]

Here's Biden Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg bragging about blocking the Spirit Airlines merger with JetBlue that would have saved the airline from bankruptcy. I don't think America has ever had a more incompetent Secretary of Transportation than Mayor Pete.

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

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.

"In order to stop the U.S. government from defending our borders, checking IDs, and removing people who don't have a right to be here, we must set up a border, check IDs, and remove people who we don't want here."

@NonGMOPureBlood @allenanalysis It always reminds me of the line from Shawshank.

[Tahmineh Dehbozorgi @DeTahmineh]

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world.

Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime.

Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it.

Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine.

This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased.

By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely.

There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues.

As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises.

Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically.

This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language.

Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape.

That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored.

So the silence continues.

[Vitaliy Katsenelson @vitaliyk]

I came to America to escape people who talk like this.

“Having a different relationship to property” is communist code for ownership being conditional and political. It is the same idea that destroyed entire societies, now rebranded with softer language and moral smugness.

Property rights are not optional. They are the operating system of a free society. Every serious economist in history agrees on one point: incentives matter.

Ayn Rand said it perfectly: “You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.”

Housing is expensive because activists and politicians make building illegal, slow, and politically toxic. Fixing supply is hard. Attacking ownership is easy. That is why failed thinkers always choose the latter.

I have more respect for flat earthers than communists. Flat earthers are harmless, and everyone agrees they are idiots. Communism keeps getting recycled as virtue despite its body count and total record of failure. Communists, democratic socialists, or whatever they like to call themselves nowadays are society’s most dangerous idiots, especially when they are elected into positions of power.

I lived under collective property. It meant decay, shortages, corruption, and people pretending to work while the system pretended to function.

I did not come to America to hear these ideas again, dressed up as justice.

I came here because this country understood something rare: freedom requires ownership.

I have seen how this ends.

It never ends well.

[GoldeNDomerz☘️ @GoldeNDomerzz]

Keep telling me a 3 Loss Alabama team should have been in over Notre Dame… 😂

Frauds and everyone knew it. Rigged for the SEC. Absolute joke a 3 loss team can even get in

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

@EstesPga Clearly

[Liz Harrington @realLizUSA]

Whoops!

Fulton County admits 315,000 early votes were counted in 2020 that weren’t witnessed and sworn to, in violation of the law.

But it’s even worse.

The machine seals were broken during the live election and the results from early voting were printed out on machines that did not tabulate the votes.

Why? Because they knew they didn’t have enough votes to overcome President Trump’s landslide. So they had to fabricate the results.

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

@EstesPga Yup. I thought going to six was answer. But now we are having magic tricks on CFP show between 2 and 3 loss teams.

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

@physicsgeek @RossDellenger Or the game on Saturday night? Take your pick. Bookend blowouts.

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

@danorlovsky7 This year it’s about quality wins and H2H not who are the best teams at the end of the season and certainly not about bad losses. I know it’s confusing because five minutes ago it was who are the best teams who have a chance to win, who would be favored in matchups.

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

Not surprised that Alabama is first team to go 9-3 in FBS games to make playoff. They always time it well w/ evolving metrics. Made it in 2017 their H2H loss didn’t matter but Auburn’s SEChamp loss did. In 2023 13-0 FSU’s ugly win over top 15 Lou enough to let #BackdoorBama in.

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

@JML_ACC 100 percent.

And same team is always the beneficiary. Not surprising they’re the first team with 9 FBS wins and 3 FBS Losses in the championship bracket.

[Chris Ohlmeyer @CBOhlmeyer]

@CFBKings Don’t forget their FCS win over Eastern Illinois on patty cake Saturday in November. (I know you are showing FBS)

[GoldenIsThyName @helmet574]

@TheHerd @colincowherd @CanesFootball They didn’t play enough FBS teams and it’s their own fault
