it actually feels like Venezuela - The government is touting it's success, and whining why the media doesn't support them and we the people know the truth
I'm sure Florida and Texas will be having parties celebrating the LACK of LA assholes being present in their awesome states. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
really? are they in prison now? can't leave their state except to go to officially sanctioned vacation paradises? i guess LA doesn't want their officials to experience that other states aren't crazy. might learn something
In this case, I'm OK with gaslighting. Anyone with one functioning brain cell knows House Bill 1557 (2022) - (Florida's) Parental Rights in Education bill says ZERO/NADA about "gay" (aka "don't say gay"). If your family or friends have a problem with adults in K-3 public school education withholding information about parents' children and/or talking to them about sex/gender, etc, you may have a deviant in your midst. I live in Florida. I taught high school English for 20 years. I saw THEN to what degree activists were infiltrating the public schools. Just like the southern border, activists were encouraged to enter (& STAY in) public schools around the country. Florida is showing the other 49 states HOW to stand up to Democrats/Leftists. With hope, we are pushing Leftists/Democrats OUT of Florida. NEVER again will some of us ignore/laugh at these loons. They will happily and relentlessly push and push until the US is (just like) Venezuela or Cuba.... Look, these loons REALLY believe their hero Che Guevara, whom they proudly wear on their t-shirts, could do no wrong. As Steve Bannon says repeatedly, the Left must be pounded into the ground. The Democrat Party must be soundly defeated, to the point its party's "moderates" save it from total destruction. Lest you think the Republican Party is any better, every single Establishment RINO (aka US Chamber of Commerce Rs who support open borders for cheap labor) must be outed and booted from the MAGA Party.
@MDP- I graduated with my bachelors in 2013 at the age of 53. Yes, I was older than some of my teachers and professors. With most, I was roughly the same age. When 'they' say colleges are indoctrinating our students, they're not kidding. Clearly, given my age and experience, it didn't work on me but I sure saw a lot of it being tried. Most were gracious when I argued a point but a couple were not though their behaviors were more covert. So now it's trickling down to the younger ones who can't ask questions simply because they don't know. It angers me. My daughter is on the opposite spectrum of your teaching career; she's a Pre-K director at a Headstart. The things she sees the federal government trying to push on these kids are ridiculous, in her professional opinion.
The GOP is better -- by far. Not great, not good, especially in states like California. But there are no Democrats on the right side nationally.
I taught in a public university for almost 30 years. I remember when our university-wide readings were on intersex. At that point I'd had no trans students. The semester after the overt trans push, suddenly trannies were a thing. One student, then four... it's not an accident. Propaganda works.
@Josco- many times people want to be a part of something special because they feel they're lost in life. They'll hop on the latest trend then eventually realize it's not what they want, transgenderism included.
I do think the Republican Party is "better" that the Democrat Party. There is not ONE) in the Democrat Party that I respect or agree with on anything. But I do have individuals in the R Party that I respect. Let's pound them into the ground, as Bannon says, but try not to equate and conflate their many sins with the Repbugs, even as I admit the maddening weakness of some of them.
It's not. These people are LOST. I'm against cities that harbor illegal immigrants because they are breaking the law and never have imagined my local government advocating a ban.
That's not gonna stop people from moving and ruining these states. People from Kalifornication are ruining states all across the nation. They need stopped at the border of their shit state and not allowed to leave.
I love how Californitards want to leave their state because of their leftardian leaders that Californians vote in continually and cannot even recall because they like socialism so much (think Gavin Newsome). Then, they go to another state and vote in tax-and-loot democrats so that they can ruin that state too. It would be like leaving a house because it was burnt out in a fire and then getting to a new house and lighting a match to set it ablaze too.
I know you're joking but it isn't a joke to say that you would be well advised to get a bit of land, plant some food, and get some egg laying chickens.
And the means to defend those chickens from those who will simply take them from you. Hint: strength in numbers. Find like-minded folks and plan to defend and support each other.
@Steve- we are in the process of updating the house to sell in a few months so we can RV full time. I'm a little (maybe more?) afraid of who may be out there wanting to 'share' in what we may have. No sense in getting a NYS pistol permit because we wouldn't be welcome in certain states and can't always carry a long gun while outside the RV. I DO have a great set of cooking knives, though. J/S
Be warned. Avian Bird Flu in Wisconsin. Wiping out chicken farms and the DNR is looking for properties with chickens. It is also in the wild bird population.. I'm sure it will be arriving in every state very soon. Another way to control the people, food supply, etc.
"Is it true, as is hotly rumored now, that the mRNA shots lead uniformly to autoimmune deficiency syndrome? Ditto the alarming rise in cancer cases among the vaxxed… ditto heart damage, organ damage, grievous neurological damage? We’ll know a lot more about this in May and June, and it’s hard to imagine what the collective emotional reaction will be if all that turns out to be true. Never in history will so many face the prospect of an untimely death, and at the hands of such banal bureaucratic villainy. Will they just compliantly check out of this world, the same way they lined up for their vaxxes and boosters, or finally rage against that machine?
The latest venture in unreality these days spills out of Russia’s operation in Ukraine. The mind-fuckery over it sure seems advantageously amplified here as a cover for the tragic developments in the Covid-19 vaxx melodrama and other domestic torments. All the evidence suggests that our country’s leadership wanted this war to happen in the worst way. We set up the provocations in Donbas and let’er rip. Now we posture on the sidelines, crying crocodile tears, pretending to help while sabotaging peace talks.
What’s followed in our attempts to punish The Evil Putin (the source of all our problems) is the most feckless fiasco of unanticipated consequences since Kaiser Wilhelm gave the go-ahead to Austria to punish Serbia over the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. Voila: a World War. Only in this case it’s looking more like a suicidal economic war by Western Civ on itself."
Are we really supposed to believe Russia bombed a train depot where women and children were feeling violence and the Russians wrote the words "for the children" on a bomb found nearby? Come on man...
Since the plandemic it has not worked out as well as envisaged for the crooks of Davos, they are now teaming up to destroy Ukraine in a horrific, slow death, at the same time wrecking Europes economy and achieving the same result, i.e. destitution of millions to allow for Great Reset.
@David- my sister in law called to tell me she had a chance to move to Florida from Philly a few months ago. She was afraid of the opportunity. I yelled GOOOOOOO!!!!!!Get the F out of that place!!!!!" (She did). Shoot, she lived in a neighborhood that even my 6'2", 275 lb (at the time) husband was afraid to be in DURING THE DAY!!!! The tourist areas were ok but the rest? 3rd world.
Bingo! Give that man a cigar (if you can find one with all the "supply chain issues) and if you want to see what we will all be doing in a year or so take a close look at Venezuela because that is exactly where we are headed. Enjoy your pets company right now folks because they will be dinner in the future if we don't stop this runaway train soon!
Pets health problems. Many caused by, you guessed it, over vaccination/medication. They vaxx small dogs with the same dosage as large dogs and giving them pesticide pills can't be good. Animals don't live as long as they used to and cancers have gone through the roof.
They were 2.5 month old kittens we adopted from a local shelter. They had diarrhea that wasn't going away (shelter lied to us about why they had it). I have had many sick pets in my life and I don't give up on them. I think these had a feral mom, maybe from inbreeding? Will never know.
They are now 3 and I am holding off on getting anymore vaccines for them after what I have learned from the many comments here on Alex's substack (TG!). It shod be noted that a distemper shot on a cat I used to have almost killed her. The vet mentioned another cat having the same reaction and it must be a bad batch. The vet that owned the clinic made the attending vet shut up about that. Disgusting. I stopped allowing that vaccine from then on. Do not mess with my pets' health or moved ones. The whooping cough vaccine...I need to stop...
The prescribed food they have been on for 2 years solved their problems and has enabled me to wean them off the expensive, daily medication they were on to help them absorb the nutrition they desperately needed.
When I saw the tweet mentioned on the news from the twat (cannot remember the name) that states if anyone adopted sick pets while n covid lockdown, people should just let their pets die I knew even more **** was going to hit the fan. Not only were defenseless children a target but our beloved, defenseless pets would be added to the bullseye.
All of those responsible for this nightmare need to rot in hell.
Shelters/rescues lie a lot, just to get animals adopted. I understand why they do it, but "informed consent" would be a good thing for adopters in many cases.
I'm sure they do. I have had so many cats in my lifetime...I can tune in on the feral behavior that really never leaves (all pets are always indoors in my very clean environment). Have two feral kittens now that were around my property and woods. They got the typical virus, got them treated and they are now in my forever home safe, healthy and happy. Again, some feral behavior is just a part of them.
Luckily, the clinic/hospital I use has wonderful vets. They all worked to find a diagnosis and a solution for my 3 (now) adults.They all go out of their way to give me discounts (or no charge) and help me save money on their food, medication and visits...wonderful vets with huge hearts.
I believe the Democrat party are run by nihilists and old Joe is just taking orders from them. I think this is their reaction to Trump actually making progress and getting things done. If you think about the future of the Democrat party when blacks and Hispanics waking up to how their lives would be so much better by shedding the victim shroud thrown over them constantly by Democrats and getting a bigger piece of the economic pie from more jobs and wage increases.
The damn Democrats blew it all up for their political self preservation.
That was their knee-jerk reaction. Then to double-down on their race-baiting and throwing in more #MeToo BS and also the sex alphabet "victims". They are just stuck on that type of stupid and they are effing destructive as all hell.
The airlines are just one of the many things the have broken. They actually are so addicted to playing politics with crises through their media pals, that they don't even see that their political brand is owning all of it and the voters are blaming them for all of it.
There is something seriously defective in the liberal personality that makes them incapable of solving difficult problems... and thus the problems just compound. I live in an 80% liberal college town on the leftcoast and the roads are a mess, the budget is a mess, there is not enough housing, crime is increasing, programs are being cut, the downtown is falling in disrepair, there are crazy homeless people everywhere. Yet the City Council debates for a full meeting having to allow 100s of concerned citizens to speak on the agenda item to condemn Russia and Putin in their invasion of Ukraine. And to change the decal on the police cars from a "menacing eagle" to something like flowers or a bicycle. Really, that is what is important in their twisted little heads.
I love the last paragraph. I look at the people I know and my liberal friends (not even the extreme ones, but the feeling, compassionate ones—supposedly) cannot solve their problems. They expect solutions to feel good and be easy. And so over the years, the problems compound, and then they're really stuck.
Michael Savage wrote "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder" in 2005, nearly 20 years ago. Discussed media collusion and illegal immigration. Things now 20x worse. Any kakistocracy comparison seems apt. Venezuela and eating pets feels like where we are headed. But being woke so much more important than fixing shit.
@Decaf- no lie: I had two (I thought) very close friends who happened to be wide left. You know they died unexpectedly from heart attacks? And I wasn't surprised because they couldn't get out of their houses, think for themselves even though they were intelligent people. They were so blinded by their politics that they couldn't move beyond it. It's as if they gave up because they couldn't compromise. I sat back and watched their narrow minded thinking wreak havoc in their minds and felt badly for them.
I'm still seeing the same thing, but fortunately they haven't suffered severely. I'm very sorry for your loss, as I'm sure things were tense and you weren't able to have that close friendship in the months before they died. With my friends, the politics have definitely cornered their thinking, but even worse is the fear they have accepted and owned. They don't even want to be without fear. One thought she did, but then I realized that for her fearlessness would come only when her betters would sound the "all clear". I had to give up on helping and even step away when they started with the "you might make me sick" stuff. Your last sentence wraps it up.
hahaha, wtf do City Councils have to do with foreign relations? So ridiculous and a huge waste of time and money. Also, I doubt any of these clowns ever heard of or knew where Ukraine was before this invasion. Well, maybe they did, since their idol Biden launders all his money there. BTW, why do we care at all about Ukraine's border but not our own?
Tales From the Great Reset: I Had a One-Night Stand With a Russian Named Vlad – Here is What I Learned
Hillary, a long suffering New York City resident, recently had a cross-cultural encounter with a simple Russian man named Vlad. This is her story and what she learned.
Not only do dumbocraps have personality problems (narcissistic personality disorder, psychopathy, sociopathy), but they're not real long on brains either. Just not smart. You need to get along with others (they don't), and have problem solving skills/critical thinking (they lack this, too) to fix things that need fixed.
Lefties only point out problems. They don't solve them. Do you notice how people like Pete B always blames "them" for problems even though he is in charge of transportation.
Notice that poverty is eternal but is essentially extinct in absolute terms in the US and all time low worldwide. They see everything as relative because the Revolution is Perpetual...
What the Democrats have been good at was government regulation and working to prevent war, but their record in recent history has shown the opposite. If they could properly tax the wealthy and corporations that would have a positive effect. If they could clean up federal agencies that would be truly a political service. But with Joe and Fauci good buddies, it won't happen.
Taxing the wealthy and corporations never works. They can afford the lobbyists to push for loopholes and attorneys to do their taxes. The costs get passed down to us, the consumers.
The GOP has always supported irresponsible tax cuts that always benefit the top few percent economically. Trickle down is a sick joke, every other supply side lie has been proven to be another con. The money ends up getting spent on dumb luxuries and frivolous vanities by the wealthy.
I'm not sure you're right but at a minimum lower corporate taxes is the least of our problems. The bigger problem is the govt colluding with corporate America to give them an unlimited supply of unfair advantages.... loopholes, targeted tax breaks, subsidies, govt contracts, bailouts, etc.
And when you raise corporate tax the above strategies are just used even more aggressively. Raising corporate tax doesn't work in the real world even if you believe it could work in a hypothetical world.
Industry capture of agencies and the turnstile between them is a big part of the problem. No agency or company should be shielded from accountability but we have too big to fail in companies and government.
Manchin turns out to be right about inflation and energy produced in the US even coal. He should leave the Dem party, then there would be a shot at holding them accountable.
Work in your deductions, most people don't pay much in taxes. Those working for the government and those in the top income brackets should pay more; raising their taxes might make them angry enough to hold government accountable.
The GOP is just as corrupt, even more so during times of crisis. The Bush administrations, 1 and 2 with the Iraq disaster, 911 the tax give aways, mainly to the rich, cynical rulership reached high marks. Everything Baby Bush did was calculated to benefit his corrupt fellow oligarchs. Of course Obama was bad, and Clinton was a total sell out, but so are most of the Republicans. Nixon and Reagan, very corrupt, Reagan gamed the system for the wealthy and corporations. Fake phony fraudulent political leader. And Trump was mind bogglingly corrupt as David Cay Johnston has thoroughly documented.
Welp yeah, but now I find gotta go with the individual liberty and gun ownership (thank God for that) crowd. Never saw it bf but I do do now. My whole fam grew up with guns, I never mined, but I also never truly got it. Lord knows what they would’ve done without a modicum of fear (Australia!). I was infuriated with that airport crap (still going and worse) and increased scrutiny after 9/11. I ranted at it in constantly in my late 20s, early 30s and against the Rs and people looked at me like I was crazy. It keeps us safe🙄. At 50 I’ve ranted at Covid restrictions fr day one and that is mostly counter to the all idiot, virtue signaling Ds. Liberty for all first and figure out how to deal with the deviants and crazies. Whoever sides with individual liberties overall and deal with the rest is where I am. Almost all politicians are oblivious liars with an agenda. Everyone else operates with a respectable amount self shame or just enough to know there’s something bigger than themselves.
And the sports media in 1976 Olympics demonized swimmer Shirley Babashoff for pointing out their large muscles and deep voices…”cry baby, sore loser, ugly American”.
They had a saying “they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work”. I mentioned that to a Russian immigrant at my job in 1992 and he was astonished I had heard of it.
We've farmed out so much of our manufacturing and service industries that we no longer know how to do anything for ourselves. This has been coming for a long, long time. Wait until everything is done by robots and computers and the only folks who know how to "fix" or adjust them live in a certain country on the other side of the globe. Biden and his administration (and the RINOS) are simply icing the cake now and it isn't even real icing nor is it real cake.
That’s exactly what happened with education curriculum under Common Core in 2010. No kid can do basic skills, self regulate behavior, or think critically. It’s been a long time coming. Why so many just follow directives.
It was the B & M Gates foundation. Look up the documentary Building the Machine. Also, the Back to Basics book by Charlotte Iserbyt….the goal is to have all kids learn individually from computers, eliminating any teacher instruction.
True, Momabear; except it's not *just* the TeeVee, it's also the Internet and so-called Social Networks. No "thinking" whatsoever, it's all done by "feelings."
As an airline pilot, this is unfortunately going to get a lot worse. We simply don’t have enough pilots. It’s going to reach crisis levels pretty soon. There are many reasons for this. During the height of Covid, almost all airlines gave buyouts to senior pilots to save jobs, we are just entering a period of unprecedented pilot retirements, the military doesn’t have the same number of pilots they once did, civilian flight training is prohibitively expensive. In the past, starting pilot pay was welfare wages and many changed careers or just stayed away. It takes many years to properly train a pilot. Then it takes many more years for these pilots to gain experience to qualify for airline jobs. This problem is getting worse by the day. I would guess that by the end of the year, the pipeline will be close to dried up. The regionals will get hit the hardest. Then the JetBlue’s, Spirits and other low cost carriers.
Buttigieg could cut the mRNA mandate and get some reserve military pilots to fly Plans instead of his Mental health issues of telling the world that he is in chest feeding duty.
This is the right answer. In my profession, anyone who could retire did. Now there's a crazy shortage and it requires a specific attitude and set or skills.
We're offering a 25k sign on bonus for entry level.
A quick Google search will show regional airlines offering sign on bonuses ranging from $60-$100k if you sign on and stay for a set time. This isn’t helping. It may start to attract new people to the industry but like I said, it takes time. You could be well over $100k in debt after flight training making it prohibitive for many.
Yes. Airline pilots have a mandatory retirement age of 65. At my airline the average person is leaving at 62/63. Additionally, we are subject to FAA medical exams every 6 months. So this will also tend to remove some guys as they get older.
Eventually, I’m sure. However, I think we are still few decades away from that. Widespread use of GPS for navigation was introduced 30 years ago. We are still mainly using ground based equipment for the approaches in poor weather. Airlines are taking delivery of new aircraft that are built and certified for 2 pilots. These planes have a lifespan of 20-30 years. There is nothing even on the horizon of moving to 1 pilot.
Democrats don’t care because this works perfectly for their climate change “emergency”. They want the masses to stop traveling by plane or car. Deliberately causing prices to rise or scarcity is the plan.
Where is Buttigieg? This is on him to solve this problem. Breastfeeding duty is over for him it's time to get yourself into objective reality Buttigig.
I thought a Delta pilot died in flight last fall - precipitating the Delta strike? No media mention of dead pilot - crickets of course - but word got around. Not sure if it’s true or not? Thank goodness there are two pilots in commercial airlines!
It is everywhere. Restaurants with reduced serving hours, seating capacity and closing early due to no help. Retailers with reduced hours of operation due to no help. Signs everywhere to be patient as they are short staffed. Customer Service what the heck is that! Welcome to the New World Order of Chaos. You will get used to it and be happy!
Regulations require commercial pilots to have 1500 hours of flight time - which is crazy expensive. My daughter is a graduate of Embry Riddle and has her multi-engine commercial rating but she has a long ways to go to meet the requirement.
The problem is that many of the newer pilots now don't know how to fly e.g. they rely on the computers and the plane to largely fly itself... Passengers are screwed the moment a problem arises...
This is not a new problem. A friend of mine used to do check rides at a major airline. The pilots were incapable of setting up a basic pattern without their electronics. I understand the electronic data is essential to flying a complex aircraft, but isn't this flight school 101?
All of the above. I don't trust anyone anymore. Not my doctor, not the supply chains, not my employer, not the economy, not my friends. I bought bags of dry goods, a rifle, and ten acres of remote land. I sold all of my stocks at the top and put it all in crypto. I'm going to start a garden and a business to reduce my dependency on these corrupt companies and politicians. Inflation is not transitory, and it's not accidental. Just like viruses, inflation can be an unconventional weapon against the citizenry. I urge everyone to try to be as self sufficient as possible. Learn to hunt, grow food, fix things, and get strong now, train like you're going to war. The people around us are going to need help when the next shoe drops.
Maybe they will give you some carbon credits for helping prevent the ocean from rising a hundredth of a fucking inch over the next 200years. Maybe John Kerry will wave from his private jet as he flies by.
I’ve heard the airlines are facing fuel shortages. My cousin was stuck in Naples for a week. Biden’s America is a nightmare l. Can’t wait for the food shortages
No! No! obesity is fat shaming and that is not allowed. Its perfectly fine to be obese now, there are no health consequences. Steven Crowder dressed up like a woman and submitted an article full of their BS and was invited to share it with the whole group via zoom at some university or something like that. They ate it right up. It was hilarious. Jokes on Them. Probably can find it on Rumble. LMAO
I have two pilots in the family that fly for different airlines. Here is the scoop from them. First, during the pandemic there was a serious need to decrease headcount. They did this by encouraging early retirement and voluntary furloughs/reduced pay to stay home (my relative didn’t work for over a year by choice. Second, pilots who don’t fly need training to get back in the pit, but there are also shortages of trainers and trainers need to train (months behind)… Third, Oddly enough, even with inflation and high ticket cost there’s a huge increase in demand for travel since Covid restrictions have lifted. Hence, massive issues for most of the airlines. Add in any Covid related terminations and you have a massive problem with air travel right now. Hope this helps.
The timing of this is outstanding--almost better than Christmas:
It's spring break AND Easter/Passover.
Spring in northern latitudes is a joke--still chilly & wet. So wants to stay here?
Of course, The GrownUps in charge don't pay attention to this clusterfuck because they're taking a victory lap about the new SCOTUS justice who isn't a biologist.
One of my wife's friends at yoga keeled over at class and was dead before she hit the ground. She had just had her 4th Covid jab and the coroner is convinced she died from the killer shot. So much for living a healthy lifestyle.
A gal at my exercise class came in on Tuesday doing a little dance and said, "Yay, I got my 4th booster yesterday!" She expected applause or something and instead I said "stay away from me! You are shedding the vaccine and I do NOT want that crap anywhere near me." She was shocked. I explained, from a distance, how she is shedding the vax similarly to how cattle sheds vaccines, which is why they only vax part of the herd. She had no clue. God, I seriously hate people!
@Cinnamon- here's one for ya. Husband saw the NP at his cardiologist's office yesterday. I, the rebel, didn't have my mask up but she didn't say anything. When husband told her he was 100% convinced his problems stemmed from the Moderna shots, she, approximately 40 years old, told us about how she was SO sick for SIX WEEKS with Covid even after being inoculated with the Moderna BUT she was so grateful for them because imagine what would have happened had she not had the 'vaccines', that the 'vaccines' have been used for over 50 years (WHAT????), they lessen the severity of symptoms (husband also had Covid when I did and was as sick as I, the unshotted, was). He was getting ready to refute and I quietly touched his leg like "Don't even bother, She's too far gone." She's a nurse practitioner for God's sake. Ever her boss agreed his problems were from the shots!!!!! BTW- I am 61 and was sick for three weeks and never had the difficulty breathing or chest pains she did. DayQuil and it's nightly brother were my friends. So she had something else going on and I almost suggested to her she look into it but hey- thinning of the herd and all....
I was aged 20 under Carter and those odd even gas lines were so bad it felt like the Great Depression my mother had talked about living through. Today feels like a horrible Dickens novel but I can’t locate the “best of times” in my life—maybe that was the 80’s.
I was a bit younger during Carter, but, old enough to vote him out in 80. Also, agreed, 80's we're good in the later half. I had moved to CA for the early years, because my home state was almost dead due to the automotive industry. Moved back in 86. Things were booming again.
I do remember all kinds of interest rates were the highest they'd ever been. I can't remember what credit card interest rates were, but, astronomical would be my guess. I've said it many times elsewhere, it's hard to believe anyone besides Obumer could be worse than Carter, and yet, Joe has done a spectacular job of screwing everything up.
Then Reagan came along and even if he didn’t exactly turn things around right away, the tone in the country changed. Quite suddenly. “Morning again in America” was a real thing to a lot of younger boomers who were feeling hopeless about their futures. In my family of ardent democrats, the younger ones took note and remain lost to the democrat party.
Yes, but they do have a solution. Draconian sanctions so that we starve millions already in poverty in emerging markets and further disrupt supply chains everywhere. Not to worry, when that fails plan B is to start nuclear war with Russia. That’ll solve everything.
obviously I think we have run out of great thinkers and doers. Nothing is done for the good of the people just like the crap from the viruses where they got everything all wrong. No accountability, no apologizing for their mistakes. Just watch Psaki with the press, complete and utter nonsense.
While there are many who are in agreement there are still too many who need to make sure they get out and vote...The GOP is acting like November will be a runaway and slam dunk and based upon 2020 presidential election we all know what the opposite party is capable of...Whining on here and being Twitter Litter does not provide results...GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
We have merely imagined that we are in some fantastical future. In fact, we are in one of the last partially functioning villages in ancient Rome. The economy is imploding, the empire is collapsing, the borders are being stormed, and an addled mined politician preaches trannyism as the capital burns. This is a reality which is otherwise too horrible to bear.
It's not just the airlines. It's the entirety of the service sector.
Tell employees they have to wear a mask all day. They have to get vaccinated. If they have a religious or ADA exemption, they have to shove a Q-tip up their nose every few days.
Tell them all this despite abundant evidence that: (a) masks don't work and are actually harmful; (b) vaccines don't work and are actually harmful; (c) vaccines don't interfere with spreading COVID, but if you get vaccinated you're put in this special 'no test' category; and (d) if you already had COVID, you still have to get vaccinated.
Some folks are stupid and/or they'll do whatever the state tells them. But, not everyone is like this. Most have figured out that those who publicly staked out positions re masks, vaccines, natural immunity and social distancing, were dead wrong. The charade we see today is just their refusal to admit their mistakes.
Some won't tolerate the charade and won't show up to work to play along. That's what this is.
Lot's of vaccinated pilots getting grounded when their physicals come due. Previously undetected heart abnormalities. My nephew is a pilot, and he's shared with me that one doc alone has had to ground as many as 20 pilots. I've got a screen shot from a pilot's only text thread that I can share.
Feels like paw died and mom, inexplicably remarried crazy uncle Charlie who beats us, starts shit with neighbors we've gotten along with for years, and has already blown dad's life insurance check "just looking out for you and your sisters".
Biden is owned and operated by the Davos/NWO/NATO/WEF/EU Oligarchs and none of this is by chance. The US economy must fail and go into utter chaos or the reset does not make it to its conclusion. Now all things are transgender---Disney etc. I am still trying to figure out how they will steal or stop the November elections. New C19 variant? WW III and Marshal law executive order? They know they will lose many, many, many seats. Yet the insanity ramps up every day. Any thoughts?
They stole the last election in a thousand different ways! By the way they are behaving and the absurd agenda they are still pushing—they don’t seem too worried about the supposed coming debacle at the polls. I think you are right—we will either get a new Covid variant in which polls will be closed or Russia will invade New Jersey and Marshall law will be declared! Im laughing and crying at the same time while writing this! Everything feels so out of control—doesn’t it? And yet it feels like it’s all being done on purpose!
This is all a very intentional plan to destroy America. If Joe and the dems were one bit concerned about November things would be different. But they aren't. One must ask why. I think a big concern should be that our earnings and investments will turned into digital currency very soon. The push by this administration is social credit scoring and ultimate control of every American. While we're distractedwith covid, and laughing at Joe Biden,the powers that be and the alphabet mafia are very busy with a dangerous agenda that once on place will never be reversed. Elections will be the first casualties of this war...
Think it is across the board. My 14 year old son was supposed to fly back from Puerto Rico last Friday midnight- flight was cancelled 2 hours before, couldn’t get another flight until Sunday late afternoon & it was cancelled less than 30 minutes before take off. They were told staff had “exceeded flying hours”. He finally made it home Thursday at 1:30am after having to fly home first class because that was only ticket left. First flight was “Spirit”, second “Frontier”, final “Delta”. This is vaccine mandates for sure!
What gets me is how everyone does not see all of this as 100% intentional as of April 8, 2022. What is it gonna take to wake enough people up to know this?
it actually feels like Venezuela - The government is touting it's success, and whining why the media doesn't support them and we the people know the truth
Excellent add! Plus the corruption
And the inflation.
LA County BANS all official travel to Florida and Texas claiming recent policies there are anti-LGBTQ...
Great news because I sure as hell don't want LA County Officials coming here to Texas. They need to hold their meetings in the homeless district.
Amen to that from a Floridian
Hey Texas. Tom Renz just said there is bio lab opening up in Texas 🤬🤬
I'm sure Florida and Texas will be having parties celebrating the LACK of LA assholes being present in their awesome states. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Yes we will!!
I know I'm dancing some Florida jigs!
That's so non-inclusive. Good on you.
children are in charge. No doubt. Petty, shallow, vindictive little tyrants.
That is spot on commentary Steve we are unfortunately being led by infantile narcissistic sociopaths. Who are engaged in infantilizing Society
Hey, James G. Thanks! You know what thay're doing? They're diminishing the inherent honor and dignity of all humans....past, present and future.
Buttigieg is in charge of Transportation you know the grown man who took 3 months off for maternity leave breast feeding duty.
Let's be politically correct: It's CHEST feeding.
Not grown, not a man
I thought ALL the media dweebs told us on Jan. 20 that "the grownups were back."
Yeah. Right.
Went to an event last weekend, virtually all who attended are now infected with COVID. Except me.
Thanks to the vaccine!
Oh no, wait, I didn't get it. 😂😂
The Dem party would be long dead and stinking but for this controlled, thoroughly corrupt media.
Right on the money, Steve. Thanks for the succinct 🥰
I’m anti EVERYONE if that helps
Yes, as I myself have always said: I'm not prejudiced, I hate everybody.
Mine has always been, "I hate everybody, you're next." 😆
My motto has been for years that I hate people. This last 2 years has not changed my mind.
And all these years, I thought it was just me. Nice to meet ya!
I used to be a people person...but people ruined it for me
Exactly
Me too, LMAO
really? are they in prison now? can't leave their state except to go to officially sanctioned vacation paradises? i guess LA doesn't want their officials to experience that other states aren't crazy. might learn something
That's probably closer to the truth than you can imagine.
In this case, I'm OK with gaslighting. Anyone with one functioning brain cell knows House Bill 1557 (2022) - (Florida's) Parental Rights in Education bill says ZERO/NADA about "gay" (aka "don't say gay"). If your family or friends have a problem with adults in K-3 public school education withholding information about parents' children and/or talking to them about sex/gender, etc, you may have a deviant in your midst. I live in Florida. I taught high school English for 20 years. I saw THEN to what degree activists were infiltrating the public schools. Just like the southern border, activists were encouraged to enter (& STAY in) public schools around the country. Florida is showing the other 49 states HOW to stand up to Democrats/Leftists. With hope, we are pushing Leftists/Democrats OUT of Florida. NEVER again will some of us ignore/laugh at these loons. They will happily and relentlessly push and push until the US is (just like) Venezuela or Cuba.... Look, these loons REALLY believe their hero Che Guevara, whom they proudly wear on their t-shirts, could do no wrong. As Steve Bannon says repeatedly, the Left must be pounded into the ground. The Democrat Party must be soundly defeated, to the point its party's "moderates" save it from total destruction. Lest you think the Republican Party is any better, every single Establishment RINO (aka US Chamber of Commerce Rs who support open borders for cheap labor) must be outed and booted from the MAGA Party.
@MDP- I graduated with my bachelors in 2013 at the age of 53. Yes, I was older than some of my teachers and professors. With most, I was roughly the same age. When 'they' say colleges are indoctrinating our students, they're not kidding. Clearly, given my age and experience, it didn't work on me but I sure saw a lot of it being tried. Most were gracious when I argued a point but a couple were not though their behaviors were more covert. So now it's trickling down to the younger ones who can't ask questions simply because they don't know. It angers me. My daughter is on the opposite spectrum of your teaching career; she's a Pre-K director at a Headstart. The things she sees the federal government trying to push on these kids are ridiculous, in her professional opinion.
The GOP is better -- by far. Not great, not good, especially in states like California. But there are no Democrats on the right side nationally.
I taught in a public university for almost 30 years. I remember when our university-wide readings were on intersex. At that point I'd had no trans students. The semester after the overt trans push, suddenly trannies were a thing. One student, then four... it's not an accident. Propaganda works.
@Josco- many times people want to be a part of something special because they feel they're lost in life. They'll hop on the latest trend then eventually realize it's not what they want, transgenderism included.
I do think the Republican Party is "better" that the Democrat Party. There is not ONE) in the Democrat Party that I respect or agree with on anything. But I do have individuals in the R Party that I respect. Let's pound them into the ground, as Bannon says, but try not to equate and conflate their many sins with the Repbugs, even as I admit the maddening weakness of some of them.
OUTSTANDING POST!
Can't. Articles of Confederation guarantee freedom of interstate travel.
Canada had similar articles once. And a constitution. (sigh)
perspective only WHAT CONSTITUTION? Its only as good as its users.So Sad.
I thought this was a joke. I weep.
it i s a joke, I hope
It's not. These people are LOST. I'm against cities that harbor illegal immigrants because they are breaking the law and never have imagined my local government advocating a ban.

A win for FL!
Who cares? Florida doesn’t need them. LAs loss.
Thats great news for people in Florida and TX. They've been worried that Californians will bring their politics with them.
That's not gonna stop people from moving and ruining these states. People from Kalifornication are ruining states all across the nation. They need stopped at the border of their shit state and not allowed to leave.
I love how Californitards want to leave their state because of their leftardian leaders that Californians vote in continually and cannot even recall because they like socialism so much (think Gavin Newsome). Then, they go to another state and vote in tax-and-loot democrats so that they can ruin that state too. It would be like leaving a house because it was burnt out in a fire and then getting to a new house and lighting a match to set it ablaze too.
Bahzahaha. They are not wanted now, and never will!!!
That isn't true. Just for county employees on county business.
They told us to "follow the science
"but they
failed to complete the sentence with the word fiction.
That would be what, exactly, buying coke for those working in the city's government?
What is ‘official’ travel anyway?
Wow, I was already having a good day, but the news that Eric Ding has covid just made this a spectacular day.
Did not hear that. Great news.
Figl Ding? Everyone’s favorite virologist?
?
The employees of LA county that fly on the counties dime….
Government morons wasting money in hotels.
I think it means the taxpayers pay…
Good. I hope they ban them to my state as well.
EVERYthing since the Lab leak commenced and set the table for things to come
Yes we have a President who believes that a woman with balls is superior to a woman.
and a new supreme court judge that doesn't know what a woman is
its far worse than that lol
Fiat currency.

A quote from William Briggs
The Maduro version, not the charismatic messianic Chavez ( i.e., Obama) version
The Democrat media does support them. What irritates them is that we have alternatives like Substack to learn the truth.
“They have an Engine called the Press whereby the people are deceived “. CS Lewis 1943. That Hideous Strength.
For now….
We haven’t started eating pets ... but it’s early days.
More decisions. Do I order a food survival kit or a large dog.
I know you're joking but it isn't a joke to say that you would be well advised to get a bit of land, plant some food, and get some egg laying chickens.
Of course, you'll have to outbid Bill Gates or a foreign country for the land. Good luck!
And BlackRock.
true that...
And the means to defend those chickens from those who will simply take them from you. Hint: strength in numbers. Find like-minded folks and plan to defend and support each other.
@Steve- we are in the process of updating the house to sell in a few months so we can RV full time. I'm a little (maybe more?) afraid of who may be out there wanting to 'share' in what we may have. No sense in getting a NYS pistol permit because we wouldn't be welcome in certain states and can't always carry a long gun while outside the RV. I DO have a great set of cooking knives, though. J/S
Agree. 6 Isa browns will produce more daily eggs than a family can eat.
you still have to feed them,better have lots of free roam cages
Be warned. Avian Bird Flu in Wisconsin. Wiping out chicken farms and the DNR is looking for properties with chickens. It is also in the wild bird population.. I'm sure it will be arriving in every state very soon. Another way to control the people, food supply, etc.
Do not submit your flock to a fraudulent PCR test

Leviathan Floundering
Everything about America is looking more and more medieval…. https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/leviathan-floundering/
"Is it true, as is hotly rumored now, that the mRNA shots lead uniformly to autoimmune deficiency syndrome? Ditto the alarming rise in cancer cases among the vaxxed… ditto heart damage, organ damage, grievous neurological damage? We’ll know a lot more about this in May and June, and it’s hard to imagine what the collective emotional reaction will be if all that turns out to be true. Never in history will so many face the prospect of an untimely death, and at the hands of such banal bureaucratic villainy. Will they just compliantly check out of this world, the same way they lined up for their vaxxes and boosters, or finally rage against that machine?
The latest venture in unreality these days spills out of Russia’s operation in Ukraine. The mind-fuckery over it sure seems advantageously amplified here as a cover for the tragic developments in the Covid-19 vaxx melodrama and other domestic torments. All the evidence suggests that our country’s leadership wanted this war to happen in the worst way. We set up the provocations in Donbas and let’er rip. Now we posture on the sidelines, crying crocodile tears, pretending to help while sabotaging peace talks.
What’s followed in our attempts to punish The Evil Putin (the source of all our problems) is the most feckless fiasco of unanticipated consequences since Kaiser Wilhelm gave the go-ahead to Austria to punish Serbia over the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. Voila: a World War. Only in this case it’s looking more like a suicidal economic war by Western Civ on itself."
Are we really supposed to believe Russia bombed a train depot where women and children were feeling violence and the Russians wrote the words "for the children" on a bomb found nearby? Come on man...
Telegram channel Intel Slava Z has pictures of the missile and its serial number which survived - it was Ukrainian...
Since the plandemic it has not worked out as well as envisaged for the crooks of Davos, they are now teaming up to destroy Ukraine in a horrific, slow death, at the same time wrecking Europes economy and achieving the same result, i.e. destitution of millions to allow for Great Reset.

When was the last time you were in Phillie?
Heard Venezuela has a border crisis of its own...thousands of Philadelphians on a caravan demanding to be taken in and cared for.
@Boondock Saint (the name is phenomenal!)- HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
@David- my sister in law called to tell me she had a chance to move to Florida from Philly a few months ago. She was afraid of the opportunity. I yelled GOOOOOOO!!!!!!Get the F out of that place!!!!!" (She did). Shoot, she lived in a neighborhood that even my 6'2", 275 lb (at the time) husband was afraid to be in DURING THE DAY!!!! The tourist areas were ok but the rest? 3rd world.
Exactly my point. I’ve walked through a few of them and have felt safer on the streets of Belfast in the 70’s.
Camden
and
Philly
Match made in heaven
Bingo! Give that man a cigar (if you can find one with all the "supply chain issues) and if you want to see what we will all be doing in a year or so take a close look at Venezuela because that is exactly where we are headed. Enjoy your pets company right now folks because they will be dinner in the future if we don't stop this runaway train soon!
Said it earlier, and I'll say it again. We have guns and will protect our pets.
Guns are inedible.
You are on to something. Guns made of cheese and crackers . Get away with murder unless you are lactose intolerant.
@Boon- the gas that would escape a lactose intolerant person would be just as lethal
People aren't.
Yep. Pet food supply chain is having massive issues. Can't get the prescription food I need for my pets' health problem.
Pets health problems. Many caused by, you guessed it, over vaccination/medication. They vaxx small dogs with the same dosage as large dogs and giving them pesticide pills can't be good. Animals don't live as long as they used to and cancers have gone through the roof.
They were 2.5 month old kittens we adopted from a local shelter. They had diarrhea that wasn't going away (shelter lied to us about why they had it). I have had many sick pets in my life and I don't give up on them. I think these had a feral mom, maybe from inbreeding? Will never know.
They are now 3 and I am holding off on getting anymore vaccines for them after what I have learned from the many comments here on Alex's substack (TG!). It shod be noted that a distemper shot on a cat I used to have almost killed her. The vet mentioned another cat having the same reaction and it must be a bad batch. The vet that owned the clinic made the attending vet shut up about that. Disgusting. I stopped allowing that vaccine from then on. Do not mess with my pets' health or moved ones. The whooping cough vaccine...I need to stop...
The prescribed food they have been on for 2 years solved their problems and has enabled me to wean them off the expensive, daily medication they were on to help them absorb the nutrition they desperately needed.
When I saw the tweet mentioned on the news from the twat (cannot remember the name) that states if anyone adopted sick pets while n covid lockdown, people should just let their pets die I knew even more **** was going to hit the fan. Not only were defenseless children a target but our beloved, defenseless pets would be added to the bullseye.
All of those responsible for this nightmare need to rot in hell.
Shelters/rescues lie a lot, just to get animals adopted. I understand why they do it, but "informed consent" would be a good thing for adopters in many cases.
I'm sure they do. I have had so many cats in my lifetime...I can tune in on the feral behavior that really never leaves (all pets are always indoors in my very clean environment). Have two feral kittens now that were around my property and woods. They got the typical virus, got them treated and they are now in my forever home safe, healthy and happy. Again, some feral behavior is just a part of them.
Luckily, the clinic/hospital I use has wonderful vets. They all worked to find a diagnosis and a solution for my 3 (now) adults.They all go out of their way to give me discounts (or no charge) and help me save money on their food, medication and visits...wonderful vets with huge hearts.
its exactly the path to blowing up a system and replacing it
Yup. Several years ago, Mark Sanford predicted this about the US.
Steve, yes!! You will relate to this: https://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0130/p09s02-coop.html
Oh yeah - arrived to Caracas by night. The cliffs leading to downtown from the airport beautifully lit up at night. During the day shantytowns.
Saw that before the mudslides wiped them out. May they rest in peace.
except that UK does not suffer under near total sanctions like Cuba
I believe the Democrat party are run by nihilists and old Joe is just taking orders from them. I think this is their reaction to Trump actually making progress and getting things done. If you think about the future of the Democrat party when blacks and Hispanics waking up to how their lives would be so much better by shedding the victim shroud thrown over them constantly by Democrats and getting a bigger piece of the economic pie from more jobs and wage increases.
The damn Democrats blew it all up for their political self preservation.
That was their knee-jerk reaction. Then to double-down on their race-baiting and throwing in more #MeToo BS and also the sex alphabet "victims". They are just stuck on that type of stupid and they are effing destructive as all hell.
The airlines are just one of the many things the have broken. They actually are so addicted to playing politics with crises through their media pals, that they don't even see that their political brand is owning all of it and the voters are blaming them for all of it.
There is something seriously defective in the liberal personality that makes them incapable of solving difficult problems... and thus the problems just compound. I live in an 80% liberal college town on the leftcoast and the roads are a mess, the budget is a mess, there is not enough housing, crime is increasing, programs are being cut, the downtown is falling in disrepair, there are crazy homeless people everywhere. Yet the City Council debates for a full meeting having to allow 100s of concerned citizens to speak on the agenda item to condemn Russia and Putin in their invasion of Ukraine. And to change the decal on the police cars from a "menacing eagle" to something like flowers or a bicycle. Really, that is what is important in their twisted little heads.
I love the last paragraph. I look at the people I know and my liberal friends (not even the extreme ones, but the feeling, compassionate ones—supposedly) cannot solve their problems. They expect solutions to feel good and be easy. And so over the years, the problems compound, and then they're really stuck.
Michael Savage wrote "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder" in 2005, nearly 20 years ago. Discussed media collusion and illegal immigration. Things now 20x worse. Any kakistocracy comparison seems apt. Venezuela and eating pets feels like where we are headed. But being woke so much more important than fixing shit.
@Decaf- no lie: I had two (I thought) very close friends who happened to be wide left. You know they died unexpectedly from heart attacks? And I wasn't surprised because they couldn't get out of their houses, think for themselves even though they were intelligent people. They were so blinded by their politics that they couldn't move beyond it. It's as if they gave up because they couldn't compromise. I sat back and watched their narrow minded thinking wreak havoc in their minds and felt badly for them.
I'm still seeing the same thing, but fortunately they haven't suffered severely. I'm very sorry for your loss, as I'm sure things were tense and you weren't able to have that close friendship in the months before they died. With my friends, the politics have definitely cornered their thinking, but even worse is the fear they have accepted and owned. They don't even want to be without fear. One thought she did, but then I realized that for her fearlessness would come only when her betters would sound the "all clear". I had to give up on helping and even step away when they started with the "you might make me sick" stuff. Your last sentence wraps it up.
They are mentally ill by definition
hahaha, wtf do City Councils have to do with foreign relations? So ridiculous and a huge waste of time and money. Also, I doubt any of these clowns ever heard of or knew where Ukraine was before this invasion. Well, maybe they did, since their idol Biden launders all his money there. BTW, why do we care at all about Ukraine's border but not our own?
Well surely they know it's "a little country next to a big country".....by now....

Not only do dumbocraps have personality problems (narcissistic personality disorder, psychopathy, sociopathy), but they're not real long on brains either. Just not smart. You need to get along with others (they don't), and have problem solving skills/critical thinking (they lack this, too) to fix things that need fixed.
This is known as “The Curly Effect” https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/glaeser/files/curley_effect_1.pdf
Thanks for reminding me of this. The entire Democrat party is involved in the Curly Effect.
They would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. And so they are creating hell on earth.
Lefties only point out problems. They don't solve them. Do you notice how people like Pete B always blames "them" for problems even though he is in charge of transportation.
Notice that poverty is eternal but is essentially extinct in absolute terms in the US and all time low worldwide. They see everything as relative because the Revolution is Perpetual...
What the Democrats have been good at was government regulation and working to prevent war, but their record in recent history has shown the opposite. If they could properly tax the wealthy and corporations that would have a positive effect. If they could clean up federal agencies that would be truly a political service. But with Joe and Fauci good buddies, it won't happen.
Taxing the wealthy and corporations never works. They can afford the lobbyists to push for loopholes and attorneys to do their taxes. The costs get passed down to us, the consumers.
The GOP has always supported irresponsible tax cuts that always benefit the top few percent economically. Trickle down is a sick joke, every other supply side lie has been proven to be another con. The money ends up getting spent on dumb luxuries and frivolous vanities by the wealthy.
I'm not sure you're right but at a minimum lower corporate taxes is the least of our problems. The bigger problem is the govt colluding with corporate America to give them an unlimited supply of unfair advantages.... loopholes, targeted tax breaks, subsidies, govt contracts, bailouts, etc.
And when you raise corporate tax the above strategies are just used even more aggressively. Raising corporate tax doesn't work in the real world even if you believe it could work in a hypothetical world.
Industry capture of agencies and the turnstile between them is a big part of the problem. No agency or company should be shielded from accountability but we have too big to fail in companies and government.
"irresponsible tax cuts"
Well, how about we get the Dems to stop spending. Seems to me those taxes belong to US not THEM.
Manchin turns out to be right about inflation and energy produced in the US even coal. He should leave the Dem party, then there would be a shot at holding them accountable.
You don't think giving all the money to the government and having them dole is out isn't Trickle Down?
Work in your deductions, most people don't pay much in taxes. Those working for the government and those in the top income brackets should pay more; raising their taxes might make them angry enough to hold government accountable.
You’re describing cannibalism. I don’t think the new Dems will eat their own....
But didn't you hear, Will Smith is suspended from the awards show for like 9yrs......as we continue on our meltdown!
The GOP is just as corrupt, even more so during times of crisis. The Bush administrations, 1 and 2 with the Iraq disaster, 911 the tax give aways, mainly to the rich, cynical rulership reached high marks. Everything Baby Bush did was calculated to benefit his corrupt fellow oligarchs. Of course Obama was bad, and Clinton was a total sell out, but so are most of the Republicans. Nixon and Reagan, very corrupt, Reagan gamed the system for the wealthy and corporations. Fake phony fraudulent political leader. And Trump was mind bogglingly corrupt as David Cay Johnston has thoroughly documented.
Welp yeah, but now I find gotta go with the individual liberty and gun ownership (thank God for that) crowd. Never saw it bf but I do do now. My whole fam grew up with guns, I never mined, but I also never truly got it. Lord knows what they would’ve done without a modicum of fear (Australia!). I was infuriated with that airport crap (still going and worse) and increased scrutiny after 9/11. I ranted at it in constantly in my late 20s, early 30s and against the Rs and people looked at me like I was crazy. It keeps us safe🙄. At 50 I’ve ranted at Covid restrictions fr day one and that is mostly counter to the all idiot, virtue signaling Ds. Liberty for all first and figure out how to deal with the deviants and crazies. Whoever sides with individual liberties overall and deal with the rest is where I am. Almost all politicians are oblivious liars with an agenda. Everyone else operates with a respectable amount self shame or just enough to know there’s something bigger than themselves.
Bring back all the unvaccinated workers with back pay
They will in a few years once the current injected ones start dying off.
Pay them back pay even if they don't want to come back.
Good idea! I've read that many pilots took early retirement rather than get the jab.
I know one who did. Alaska Airlines. He got a VERY sweet package on top of it, like a year’s pay! Pilot union doesn’t fool around.
It’s like East Germany - complete with the butch female swimmers.
And the sports media in 1976 Olympics demonized swimmer Shirley Babashoff for pointing out their large muscles and deep voices…”cry baby, sore loser, ugly American”.

Soviet Union, although the common person knew that Pravda was lying
But the folks at Pravda were, at least in some cases, trying to tell the truth. With our media, it is one big group grope.
They had a saying “they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work”. I mentioned that to a Russian immigrant at my job in 1992 and he was astonished I had heard of it.
My spouse, who lived through the Cultural Revolution, sees parallels between USA today and China then.
Uncle Joe and his Great Reset compliance is a total disaster but this is what happens when totalitarianism takes hold of everything
We've farmed out so much of our manufacturing and service industries that we no longer know how to do anything for ourselves. This has been coming for a long, long time. Wait until everything is done by robots and computers and the only folks who know how to "fix" or adjust them live in a certain country on the other side of the globe. Biden and his administration (and the RINOS) are simply icing the cake now and it isn't even real icing nor is it real cake.
That’s exactly what happened with education curriculum under Common Core in 2010. No kid can do basic skills, self regulate behavior, or think critically. It’s been a long time coming. Why so many just follow directives.
But, they know their pronouns.
Good point. Throw massive pharmaceuticals into children at the same time and see what comes out.
Its the parents asking their doctor to drug up their kid who can't seem to learn or behave. That's where the real problem starts.
Yes, and the now mandated 29 vaxes ( there abouts) for kids may be the problem!
Any guess who was involved in Common Core? I think it was Zuckerberg and/or Gates.
It was the B & M Gates foundation. Look up the documentary Building the Machine. Also, the Back to Basics book by Charlotte Iserbyt….the goal is to have all kids learn individually from computers, eliminating any teacher instruction.
I will definitely look up the documentary. Thanks for the info.
True, Momabear; except it's not *just* the TeeVee, it's also the Internet and so-called Social Networks. No "thinking" whatsoever, it's all done by "feelings."
Nor will they like it when it's the only think they find to eat when their plan sours on them, and it will.
YES, THIS.
MRNA vaccines have had a devastating effect on pilots. Look it up.
Do you know if they cause migraines? I’m looking for references.
As an airline pilot, this is unfortunately going to get a lot worse. We simply don’t have enough pilots. It’s going to reach crisis levels pretty soon. There are many reasons for this. During the height of Covid, almost all airlines gave buyouts to senior pilots to save jobs, we are just entering a period of unprecedented pilot retirements, the military doesn’t have the same number of pilots they once did, civilian flight training is prohibitively expensive. In the past, starting pilot pay was welfare wages and many changed careers or just stayed away. It takes many years to properly train a pilot. Then it takes many more years for these pilots to gain experience to qualify for airline jobs. This problem is getting worse by the day. I would guess that by the end of the year, the pipeline will be close to dried up. The regionals will get hit the hardest. Then the JetBlue’s, Spirits and other low cost carriers.
Rob - would be interested in following up with you on this
Buttigieg could cut the mRNA mandate and get some reserve military pilots to fly Plans instead of his Mental health issues of telling the world that he is in chest feeding duty.
This is the right answer. In my profession, anyone who could retire did. Now there's a crazy shortage and it requires a specific attitude and set or skills.
We're offering a 25k sign on bonus for entry level.
A quick Google search will show regional airlines offering sign on bonuses ranging from $60-$100k if you sign on and stay for a set time. This isn’t helping. It may start to attract new people to the industry but like I said, it takes time. You could be well over $100k in debt after flight training making it prohibitive for many.
@Rob- is a factor in retirements be many were Boomers of retirement age? That's leaving a large void in many industries.
Yes. Airline pilots have a mandatory retirement age of 65. At my airline the average person is leaving at 62/63. Additionally, we are subject to FAA medical exams every 6 months. So this will also tend to remove some guys as they get older.
Ah. TY.
Eventually, I’m sure. However, I think we are still few decades away from that. Widespread use of GPS for navigation was introduced 30 years ago. We are still mainly using ground based equipment for the approaches in poor weather. Airlines are taking delivery of new aircraft that are built and certified for 2 pilots. These planes have a lifespan of 20-30 years. There is nothing even on the horizon of moving to 1 pilot.
Democrats don’t care because this works perfectly for their climate change “emergency”. They want the masses to stop traveling by plane or car. Deliberately causing prices to rise or scarcity is the plan.
Yes, and all the climate hypocrites will continue to fly their private jets around the world! When will people wake up!
This. Only person so far who gets it. AOC said this explicitly.
Where is Buttigieg? This is on him to solve this problem. Breastfeeding duty is over for him it's time to get yourself into objective reality Buttigig.
He's onto a new crisis:
Pete Buttigieg Says Prohibiting Classroom Instruction of Sex and Gender Identity in Kindergarten Classes Will “Kill Kids”
Found on the Gateway Pundit
Pete Buttigieg is a sick man, and he needs professional help. A person like he should never be in any type of leadership role.
How long until a plane falls out of the sky thanks to a vaccine injured pilot?
I thought a Delta pilot died in flight last fall - precipitating the Delta strike? No media mention of dead pilot - crickets of course - but word got around. Not sure if it’s true or not? Thank goodness there are two pilots in commercial airlines!
I'm so glad men have stepped up to be women. We biological women really appreciate you taking our place.
Well...gotta go.
I'm meeting my buddies for a drink.
Good luck delivering our children and breastfeeding. What's for supper?
@Anthony- sammiches. Because it was 'suggested'. ;)
Pilot Magazine has tributes to those ' lost' according to a video I watched recently.
I don't wish that to happen any time or Place. I hope that Management will take your thought into consideration.
Nobody wants it to happen. But the theme of the day up in here is Reality Matters.
You mandate toxic jabs on fraudulent bad science evidence, you ignore real life data presenting in real time, and shit is going to happen.
It is everywhere. Restaurants with reduced serving hours, seating capacity and closing early due to no help. Retailers with reduced hours of operation due to no help. Signs everywhere to be patient as they are short staffed. Customer Service what the heck is that! Welcome to the New World Order of Chaos. You will get used to it and be happy!
Regulations require commercial pilots to have 1500 hours of flight time - which is crazy expensive. My daughter is a graduate of Embry Riddle and has her multi-engine commercial rating but she has a long ways to go to meet the requirement.
The problem is that many of the newer pilots now don't know how to fly e.g. they rely on the computers and the plane to largely fly itself... Passengers are screwed the moment a problem arises...
This is not a new problem. A friend of mine used to do check rides at a major airline. The pilots were incapable of setting up a basic pattern without their electronics. I understand the electronic data is essential to flying a complex aircraft, but isn't this flight school 101?
All of the above. I don't trust anyone anymore. Not my doctor, not the supply chains, not my employer, not the economy, not my friends. I bought bags of dry goods, a rifle, and ten acres of remote land. I sold all of my stocks at the top and put it all in crypto. I'm going to start a garden and a business to reduce my dependency on these corrupt companies and politicians. Inflation is not transitory, and it's not accidental. Just like viruses, inflation can be an unconventional weapon against the citizenry. I urge everyone to try to be as self sufficient as possible. Learn to hunt, grow food, fix things, and get strong now, train like you're going to war. The people around us are going to need help when the next shoe drops.
Maybe they will give you some carbon credits for helping prevent the ocean from rising a hundredth of a fucking inch over the next 200years. Maybe John Kerry will wave from his private jet as he flies by.
ah, you can just buy your carbon offset scam and feel good!!
A banana republic. We are being gaslighted by government and the media.
I’ve heard the airlines are facing fuel shortages. My cousin was stuck in Naples for a week. Biden’s America is a nightmare l. Can’t wait for the food shortages
Can’t wait for the spin—less food means less obesity means less severe Covid!
But think what it will do to the humor. Adversity brings out our best humor. I don't think I've ever seen such good humor as these last two years.
No! No! obesity is fat shaming and that is not allowed. Its perfectly fine to be obese now, there are no health consequences. Steven Crowder dressed up like a woman and submitted an article full of their BS and was invited to share it with the whole group via zoom at some university or something like that. They ate it right up. It was hilarious. Jokes on Them. Probably can find it on Rumble. LMAO
Obesity is fine unless you’re Trump or Chris Christie.
You're right. It's especially fine for Stacey Abrams.
lol, less obesity will be a good thing for some... but i'm already lean!
They'll kill ya one way or another.
"obesity means less severe Covid!" Are you insinuating there might be a connection b/w the two? I am calling the thought police and Fauci on you!
I have two pilots in the family that fly for different airlines. Here is the scoop from them. First, during the pandemic there was a serious need to decrease headcount. They did this by encouraging early retirement and voluntary furloughs/reduced pay to stay home (my relative didn’t work for over a year by choice. Second, pilots who don’t fly need training to get back in the pit, but there are also shortages of trainers and trainers need to train (months behind)… Third, Oddly enough, even with inflation and high ticket cost there’s a huge increase in demand for travel since Covid restrictions have lifted. Hence, massive issues for most of the airlines. Add in any Covid related terminations and you have a massive problem with air travel right now. Hope this helps.
The timing of this is outstanding--almost better than Christmas:
It's spring break AND Easter/Passover.
Spring in northern latitudes is a joke--still chilly & wet. So wants to stay here?
Of course, The GrownUps in charge don't pay attention to this clusterfuck because they're taking a victory lap about the new SCOTUS justice who isn't a biologist.
Way to go!
I am surprised that Fauci has not told us here in America 🇺🇸 how to celebrate Passover / Lent Easter 🐣 this Year 2022.
Yea but think of all the carbon emissions being saved - you don't think this might be by design?
Thank-you for the insider info!
How's that getting rid of employees over vaccine mandate working out?
But at least we're all safe from mean tweet.
😂

Either way they'd have a fight. I might go down, but I'd go down fighting.
One of my wife's friends at yoga keeled over at class and was dead before she hit the ground. She had just had her 4th Covid jab and the coroner is convinced she died from the killer shot. So much for living a healthy lifestyle.
Stories like that need to go viral, pun not intended.
It could be worse. You could've gotten your Moderna shot yesterday, then read they recalled it after foreign matter was detected in it.
A gal at my exercise class came in on Tuesday doing a little dance and said, "Yay, I got my 4th booster yesterday!" She expected applause or something and instead I said "stay away from me! You are shedding the vaccine and I do NOT want that crap anywhere near me." She was shocked. I explained, from a distance, how she is shedding the vax similarly to how cattle sheds vaccines, which is why they only vax part of the herd. She had no clue. God, I seriously hate people!
@Cinnamon- here's one for ya. Husband saw the NP at his cardiologist's office yesterday. I, the rebel, didn't have my mask up but she didn't say anything. When husband told her he was 100% convinced his problems stemmed from the Moderna shots, she, approximately 40 years old, told us about how she was SO sick for SIX WEEKS with Covid even after being inoculated with the Moderna BUT she was so grateful for them because imagine what would have happened had she not had the 'vaccines', that the 'vaccines' have been used for over 50 years (WHAT????), they lessen the severity of symptoms (husband also had Covid when I did and was as sick as I, the unshotted, was). He was getting ready to refute and I quietly touched his leg like "Don't even bother, She's too far gone." She's a nurse practitioner for God's sake. Ever her boss agreed his problems were from the shots!!!!! BTW- I am 61 and was sick for three weeks and never had the difficulty breathing or chest pains she did. DayQuil and it's nightly brother were my friends. So she had something else going on and I almost suggested to her she look into it but hey- thinning of the herd and all....
🙌
Actually, no. This would be the last thing the government would ever fix.
I read my chocolate ration has been increased to 20 grams! Life is good.

I was aged 20 under Carter and those odd even gas lines were so bad it felt like the Great Depression my mother had talked about living through. Today feels like a horrible Dickens novel but I can’t locate the “best of times” in my life—maybe that was the 80’s.
I was a bit younger during Carter, but, old enough to vote him out in 80. Also, agreed, 80's we're good in the later half. I had moved to CA for the early years, because my home state was almost dead due to the automotive industry. Moved back in 86. Things were booming again.
Fresh out of college in 81, working in a local bank, the long term CD rate for a 5 year investment hit 17%
I do remember all kinds of interest rates were the highest they'd ever been. I can't remember what credit card interest rates were, but, astronomical would be my guess. I've said it many times elsewhere, it's hard to believe anyone besides Obumer could be worse than Carter, and yet, Joe has done a spectacular job of screwing everything up.
Then Reagan came along and even if he didn’t exactly turn things around right away, the tone in the country changed. Quite suddenly. “Morning again in America” was a real thing to a lot of younger boomers who were feeling hopeless about their futures. In my family of ardent democrats, the younger ones took note and remain lost to the democrat party.
When we voted Carter out and put Reagan in, interest rates to buy a home were at 22%. Remember that? I, too, remember the odd/even gas lines.
It's a good thing there was no election fraud. (sarc)
Yes, but they do have a solution. Draconian sanctions so that we starve millions already in poverty in emerging markets and further disrupt supply chains everywhere. Not to worry, when that fails plan B is to start nuclear war with Russia. That’ll solve everything.
obviously I think we have run out of great thinkers and doers. Nothing is done for the good of the people just like the crap from the viruses where they got everything all wrong. No accountability, no apologizing for their mistakes. Just watch Psaki with the press, complete and utter nonsense.
meanwhile the DC elites fly on private planes. They r not feeling this Biden disaster
#BACKINTHEUSSR
While there are many who are in agreement there are still too many who need to make sure they get out and vote...The GOP is acting like November will be a runaway and slam dunk and based upon 2020 presidential election we all know what the opposite party is capable of...Whining on here and being Twitter Litter does not provide results...GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
GOP won't save you
We have merely imagined that we are in some fantastical future. In fact, we are in one of the last partially functioning villages in ancient Rome. The economy is imploding, the empire is collapsing, the borders are being stormed, and an addled mined politician preaches trannyism as the capital burns. This is a reality which is otherwise too horrible to bear.
Prove that this is not true.
It's not just JetBlue. It's all airlines.
It's not just the airlines. It's the entirety of the service sector.
Tell employees they have to wear a mask all day. They have to get vaccinated. If they have a religious or ADA exemption, they have to shove a Q-tip up their nose every few days.
Tell them all this despite abundant evidence that: (a) masks don't work and are actually harmful; (b) vaccines don't work and are actually harmful; (c) vaccines don't interfere with spreading COVID, but if you get vaccinated you're put in this special 'no test' category; and (d) if you already had COVID, you still have to get vaccinated.
Some folks are stupid and/or they'll do whatever the state tells them. But, not everyone is like this. Most have figured out that those who publicly staked out positions re masks, vaccines, natural immunity and social distancing, were dead wrong. The charade we see today is just their refusal to admit their mistakes.
Some won't tolerate the charade and won't show up to work to play along. That's what this is.
Lot's of vaccinated pilots getting grounded when their physicals come due. Previously undetected heart abnormalities. My nephew is a pilot, and he's shared with me that one doc alone has had to ground as many as 20 pilots. I've got a screen shot from a pilot's only text thread that I can share.
But with 12,000 illegal aliens arriving every day, surely a large number of them must be trained pilots, mechanics and flight attendants.
😂🤣 Yeah, probably. (Snark)
Easy - US under Carter.
Exactly, but I "missed" the cocaine shortage.
USA under Uncle Joey we have no shortage of Fentanyl.
More, please! And make naloxone a strictly controlled substance.
Feels like paw died and mom, inexplicably remarried crazy uncle Charlie who beats us, starts shit with neighbors we've gotten along with for years, and has already blown dad's life insurance check "just looking out for you and your sisters".
So we’re living a country music hit single?
Woke don't listen to country. it will be some sort of electronic music.
Biden is owned and operated by the Davos/NWO/NATO/WEF/EU Oligarchs and none of this is by chance. The US economy must fail and go into utter chaos or the reset does not make it to its conclusion. Now all things are transgender---Disney etc. I am still trying to figure out how they will steal or stop the November elections. New C19 variant? WW III and Marshal law executive order? They know they will lose many, many, many seats. Yet the insanity ramps up every day. Any thoughts?
They stole the last election in a thousand different ways! By the way they are behaving and the absurd agenda they are still pushing—they don’t seem too worried about the supposed coming debacle at the polls. I think you are right—we will either get a new Covid variant in which polls will be closed or Russia will invade New Jersey and Marshall law will be declared! Im laughing and crying at the same time while writing this! Everything feels so out of control—doesn’t it? And yet it feels like it’s all being done on purpose!
This is all a very intentional plan to destroy America. If Joe and the dems were one bit concerned about November things would be different. But they aren't. One must ask why. I think a big concern should be that our earnings and investments will turned into digital currency very soon. The push by this administration is social credit scoring and ultimate control of every American. While we're distractedwith covid, and laughing at Joe Biden,the powers that be and the alphabet mafia are very busy with a dangerous agenda that once on place will never be reversed. Elections will be the first casualties of this war...
I tend to agree. No one has gone to jail over the election “irregularities.”What would discourage one’s repeating the “irregularities?”
I don't believe "they" will allow the elections to be held. Period. --- If I'm wrong, "they" will still win, as they did before.
🙌
yes. our country is stupid now. This is our future. Stupid stupid people
Firstly, they have no guiding principles, no higher power.
We are to accept them (no not me) as they are, purple haired and multipierced
And somehow, relate to them on an adult level.
stupid people.
Where are all the brilliant people living? I need to go there. I can not take this much longer.
Actually, when hubbs and I are together, this is good, and we select our interactions with others. When it gets intolerable, we leave politely.
We have not flown in so many years. I do not miss it.
Post-Soviet Russia. Everything falling apart, the criminal oligarchs getting rich.
Make no mistake, the collapse is upon us.
Think it is across the board. My 14 year old son was supposed to fly back from Puerto Rico last Friday midnight- flight was cancelled 2 hours before, couldn’t get another flight until Sunday late afternoon & it was cancelled less than 30 minutes before take off. They were told staff had “exceeded flying hours”. He finally made it home Thursday at 1:30am after having to fly home first class because that was only ticket left. First flight was “Spirit”, second “Frontier”, final “Delta”. This is vaccine mandates for sure!
And our government flys private. Go figure.
Also the government bailed out the airlines due to lockdown.
I am pretty sure this nice cabal has had the desired effect on covid policy.
Yes, they are beholden to the govt gravy train.
They booted all the “ trained” help because they refused the poison pill. Lol
GASLIGHTING: #1 search term for 2022
Idiocracy has become a Documentary!
Just wait till they want you to fly on electric airplanes?
LMAO
It seems like the night they started fiddling in Rome.
Carter without any smarts whatsoever except for the TRULY BIG players in Davos…. And you know who they are.
What gets me is how everyone does not see all of this as 100% intentional as of April 8, 2022. What is it gonna take to wake enough people up to know this?
Turn off the tv?!?
