Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C.
November 21, 1864

Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln

@SenWarren This is gaslighting at its finest.

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 1957, Carl Jung wrote:

"Everywhere in the West there are subversive minorities who, sheltered by our humanitarianism and our sense of justice, hold the incendiary torches ready, with nothing to stop the spread of their ideas."

Jung believed only a small “mentally stable” portion of the population keeps things together.

His estimate was that only ~40% are psychologically grounded.

The rest are one bad day away from breakdown.

The point he was making is that most people are not rational.

Their emotions possess them and when the pressure gets high enough:

- Logic stops working.
- Slogans take over.
- Fantasy replaces reality.

That’s when societies starts feeling like its upside down.

Jung called it a “psychic epidemic.” A kind of mass psychological contagion.

He estimated that for every crazy person you see, there are ten more that are able to mask their perversity just enough to fit in to society.

While they may not break out openly, their "views and behaviour, for all their appearance of normality, are influenced by unconsciously morbid and perverse factors."

In that state, irrational people rise to the top, extreme ideas are normalized, and emotion overrides truth.

"Their mental state is that of a collectively excited group ruled by affective judgments and wish-fantasies."

Their delusional ideas, which hide their fanatical resentment, appeal to the irrational, "for they express all those motives and resentments which lurk in more normal people."

"They are, therefore, despite their small number in comparison with the population as a whole, dangerous as sources of infection."

Mac Donald: "It is not an accident, it is not misogyny... that males brought us the Scientific Revolution—circumnavigated the globe, spent centuries tinkering... fascinated by how the world works and determined to conquer it with a Promethean spirit."

Everything government touches becomes more expensive and unaffordable.

[The Rabbit Hole @TheRabbitHole]

Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone.

Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

This is like if someone in the year 4000 cited the Jane Austen fan fiction I wrote last Tuesday in which Elizabeth Bennet leaves Mr Darcy at the altar for a Thai lesbian but conceded that this story was left out of the canonical edition of Pride and Prejudice.

This is awesome to see. Biblical hermeneutics on Capitol Hill. This woman "pastor" is left stuttering and doesn't know the Bible—shocking, I know.

[Guy Benson @guypbenson]

SCOTUS got it right, in my view. Three points:

1) Justice Gorsuch’s exchange in oral arguments was so key to me. He asked if a future POTUS could use this precedent to unilaterally declare a “climate emergency” and impose policies he or she wanted as a result. The admin’s lawyer said probably yes. NO THANK YOU! 🚩

2) SCOTUS isn’t so much slapping down Trump as it is *once again* telling Congress to do its job. If we want to use tariffs this way (separate debate, I’m skeptical), we can pass laws constitutionally. Way too much reliance on the executive and judicial branches to do things they won’t/can’t do with the authority they actually have.

1) This ruling deals another blow to the Left’s cynical and dangerous delegitimization campaign against SCOTUS. They push destructive schemes like court packing because they are annoyed that they don’t get all the outcomes they want from the current Court. They lie and pretend this Court just prostrates itself in front of Trump and bends to his will. Not so, including on this big one.

From Gorsuch concurrence.

Hey @ATT twenty minutes to be on hold just to activate a suspended line is ridiculous. Why won’t you let me do it online?

@brianhadad @MSUSpaceCowboys Great spot Brian. The Aerospace Dept at State is doing great things.

For those conservatives tweeting out McConnell’s fall today and mocking him - I’ve got some thoughts: if you just started paying attention to politics in the last 4 years I’ll give you grace because you don’t know what the rest of us do.
