I have investigated the Southwest Airline debacle and the story is not good. Unfortunate for I always looked at that company as being the model. I had friends that were pilots and retired during the china virus impact on the world.

It appears that some bean counters and lawyers took the company down a few years ago and left the current management in a real dilemma. Any Ags have information on their status and turnaround plans?

Random night on YouTube… Uncanny video…

I rarely watch network TV (except for sports)…

I generally watch the 15-20 minute vignettes on YouTube on my TV… mostly historical stuff…

I admit it, I'm a NERD !!!

There's a YouTuber named Simon Whistler that posts historical pieces periodically..

He has an unnerving, nasally Limey voice, is a little left of center in a typical Lib snob way, but has interesting topics…

The latest video of his explores how much the German people knew, or should have known about the Holocaust…

I was struck with how much the 1930-1939 period in Germany is EERILY SIMILAR to what's happening socially and politically in the US today…

You guys should really give it a watch… The similarities are pretty telling…

Frog in the boiling pot… Until it's too late…

5th grade was rewarded for bringing the most coats to donate.

They were rewarded a pajama day to include a movie. They showed them "Strange World" …Disney queer movie.

Shouldn't they use better judgement? They weren't allowed to have "Secret Santa"…forced to call it "Secret Snowman", but can watch this?

So many similarities between then and now. We will soon have cattle cars of packed full of people destined for the crematoria.

The horror

Quito7:06a
They usually send letters home, but this time they did not. I don't think they should have to inform us of everything they do. I do think it's not hard to use a little discretion and not force 5th graders to watch this.

Biggest issue is that it's forced us to have conversations with our 5th grader on being gay.

In a world where his 5th grader has learned about active shooter drills, talking to his kid about "being gay" is an issue for him.  He seems to be struggling as a parent.

Thoughts on a new party: The American Party

...
Silian Rail11:52a
The GOP needs to die; it's worthless, they serve only to go left slightly slower than the Democrats, they have no compass, no anchor, and are best known for saber rattling.

I would like to see a party that instantly cut off all outflows to other countries, and that closed all of our military bases outside of the US and brought our soldiers home. If we really really need to bomb someone we can use our multiple aircraft carriers. Chop up all the money we were giving other countries and give a one time check to all American families the first year, save the money every year after that. Use all of the money saved from closing our international bases on increasing pay for our service members and repairing and replacing outdated military infrastructure and material.

Pull out of NATO, and the United Nations, evicting them from New York.

Station troops at the border, and give a one year grace period for every illegal immigrant to leave the United States, if they're caught in the US after one year, they forfeit all of their assets and are deported.

Treat drug abuse like a medical/mental health issue with mandatory life in prison for anyone caught dealing drugs, along with total asset forfeiture.

Make welfare payable daily, after 8 hours of labor. Literally any sort of labor, productive or not, although productivity would be the best. I don't care if they're breaking rocks or carrying boxes from point a to point b and then back again. People need to get used to getting up, getting dressed and going and doing something for money.

25% tariff on all imports, 25% subsidy on produce and 25% fat tax on all processed foods. We need to get people eating real food and fight the obesity epidemic.

Tax all religious establishments, that'll weed out the hucksters, satanists and people laundering money under the guise of religion. Will also free the churches to unload both barrels in the political realm.

Return to early 20th century morality laws regarding adultery, no fault divorce, homosexuality, abortion, and gender theory. Bring back don't ask don't tell.

End new enrollees and taxes for social security. Give everyone a lump sum of what they've paid into the program adjusted for inflation and let the current crowd continue drawing benefits until death.

He probably could have made a salient point that money has compromised some distinctions between the parties, without sounding like a crazy person.

I remember high school coaches being fired or hemmed up because they were praying on the field before the game started. And people wanted him removed. Funny that now praying on the field is okay when something traumatic has happened but when a devout Christian does it regularly, it's taboo

And why do I hear about all these HS teachers involved in sex scandals with students but the libs are just A-OK with those students having all the consensual sex they want with each other. Quite a double standard.

You created a new type of seatbelt for autos that everybody has raved about…

The government and businesses all MANDATED that your new seatbelt would have to be installed and retrofit in ALL cars, because they were certain it would save millions of lives every year..

Those who didn't install it in their car, COULDN'T DRIVE…

Guess what… The seatbelt WORKED for adults in car crashes… Yea !

It looks like you're about to become an overnight BA-ZILLIONAIRE… Movin' on up to the East Side, and all that…

Then it started being reported that your new seatbelt design could possibly be the cause of a rash of auto crash deaths in children…. Some kids even choked on it while simply riding in the car…

Your BA-ZILLIONAIRE status is vanishing right in front of your eyes in a potential swamp of lawsuits…

Even the businesses who mandated it are staring down the barrel of employee lawsuits, because they forced their employees to install it…

Do you:

A. Investigate what's happening so if there is an actual defect, you can fix it - for the safety of all the children…

Or

B. Claim that kids have been dying in car wrecks for years, and that everybody is just a conspiracy theorist and gaslight them…

Trans... age?

Smudge1:40p
I just bragged about my batting average being at 1.000 regarding my "conspiracy theories" coming true on another thread (actually, not one has been debunked, but there are some that haven't come to fruition yet). And then my wife just texts me this...

https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/transage-activists-now-claim-age-is-a-social-construct-just-predicted-happen

I have been telling folks this for years in the whole trans debate. People will start saying age is a social construct if the whole trans movement really takes off... here we are. They thought I was being dramatic and unrealistic.

So, a serious question. When do we start to fight back? When is enough enough? Then how? I don't see how this doesn't manifest into physical violence on a larger scale in the not too distant future. These people want to force this way of life on people not willing to play their larping games. When do we fight to maintain what's true, logical, just, and right?
