Everyone can have this opinion, and it’s certainly not breaking news nor a stretch of any know facts (as in, it’s obvious, but, when this person speaks— I listen and listen good: “I don't think any airline will be able to staff flights in 2 or 3 days”

Hooooo boy. This is BAD. >50% of flights today will be cancelled or seriously delayed. 😞 Which wrecks tomorrow too. We just tipped it total chaos. :( apps.apple.com/app/id13588230…

This is exactly correct. I also had this thought the other day: Sherrill, Spanberger, & the Democratic party didn't just perform wildly well on Tuesday, they did so *despite* the relentless anti-Dem negativity from all corners. That should be an indicator of a strong party.

Again it’s Heads- Republicans win and Tails- Dems lose and that narrative is so lucrative for many in left media outlets because it gets more clicks, rage, and cash than to acknowledge maybe the Dems aren’t the Washington Generals to the GOP’s Globetrotters but don’t dare say it.



And then progressives wonder why the working class of all races, who are most of the victims of the criminals put back on the streets thanks to their lax policies, prefer to vote for authoritarians who promise law and order.

To progressives prosecutors, the idea of _not_ convicting and jailing criminals is the desired outcome. You can see how this plays out in prosecution rates by county. Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez prosecutes but 31% of felony arrests and 17% of misdemeanors. qualitypolicing.com/same-city-diff…

Why would a violent rapist / carjacker not be jailed? Because progressive Brooklyn DA Gonzalez seeks non-jail resolutions at _every_ juncture of a case. It's a feature, not a flaw. Because he knows incarceration "fails to make us safer." Gonzalez just won reelection unopposed.

What’s killing the economy - and murdering small businesses - is the FLUIDITY of tariffs and the never ending promise of tariff reductions. I’ve met many owners whose sales are down as customers wait for proposed future reductions (and lower costs).

Tariffs aren't meant for revenue and will shrink over time, Bessent says trib.al/yXDTFBK

I think Democrats flat out hate every other faction of the party. Republicans are also a precarious coalition but their media apparatus is better at shutting down dissent. Nobody’s allowed to whine about Susan Collins on Fox News, but our moderates don’t get the same cover.

explain?

3 days into FAA-mandated flight cuts, this is where things unravel. In latest update, Delta says it may cancel flights Sunday "as required flight crew rest time and out-of-position aircraft impact our schedule." 1,400 cancels already - on track to surpass Saturday by midmorning

I think this was a good point a few weeks ago. I think it’s really interesting that nobody — on the left or right — has revisited this in the wake of Democrats’ hugely successful Election Day.

This is exactly right. Also were they registering voters? Were they collecting data from participants to be used later?

Wow. UCLA leaving the Rose Bowl... I have thoughts So UCLA had to leave the Rose Bowl imo. I love the RB but it's not practical to play their home games there anymore. It's a hassle to get there. It's not near campus. You just can't create a home atmosphere that often, etc.…

Breaking: the deal is near finalized for #UCLA football to play its home games in SoFi Stadium. 247sports.com/college/ucla/a…

If you ask most NYC progressives about "crime", they'll discuss stats. Fair! Ask about specific cases like this-- where a child rapist is allowed to walk free because of a system seemingly incapable of sentencing people-- and they will lose their minds. But we can't look away.

The kicker: “McMichael has four prior convictions, according to police, including a rape in 2019.” Convicted of rape (which is just about the worst thing you can do to a person) six years ago and, despite priors, was already on the street to do it again in 2025. A serious…
