Spirit Airlines did not receive that proposed $500 million bailout and ceased operations over the weekend, putting thousands of people out of work and leaving thousands of travelers scrambling for new arrangements.
“All Spirit flights have been cancelled, and Spirit Guests should not go to the airport,” the airline said in a statement. Refunds will be processed in short order.
Who killed Spirit?
Democrat Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren wants you to think it was Donald Trump and his administration — specifically, “Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline.” That and greedy capitalists. “The Big Four airlines (American, Delta, Southwest, United) control 75% of the U.S. market,” she complained last Thursday. “Fewer choices = higher prices for you.”
Fuel prices are indeed higher and, as it turns out, insurmountable for Spirit’s cut-rate fare business model. However, thanks to X’s community notes feature, readers were introduced to the real culprits: Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden’s administration.
“In 2024, Senator Warren supported the Biden Administration’s DOJ suing to prevent the merger between JetBlue and Spirit, fearing ‘fewer flights and higher fares,’” says the note. “Now Spirit shutdown [sic], resulting in fewer flights and less competition.”
Bingo.
In a March 2024 X post, Warren bragged that she had “warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.” She praised Joe Biden’s Justice Department and Department of Transportation, saying they “were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.” After a judge ruled in Team Biden’s favor, Warren concluded, “This is a Biden win for flyers!”
From the vantage point of May 2026, that’s laughably false.
That’s why she’s now blaming “a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan,” without mentioning Biden’s DOJ bringing the lawsuit or her celebrating it. Her gaslighting is incredible.
Not all mergers are anti-competitive, but the trust-busting zealots of the Left don’t seem to agree. The Biden administration twice blocked JetBlue’s proposed mergers, the second of which would’ve at least given Spirit a chance at survival. After losing out on the merger, Spirit first filed for bankruptcy in November 2024, long before the current spike in fuel prices.
JetBlue might be the next airline to fold, all because Team Biden rejected its $3.8 billion merger with Spirit. “Had Spirit Airlines been allowed to merge with Jet Blue, it would have given them much more resiliency,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Thanks to @SenWarren, @PeteButtigieg, and all of their friends in the Biden Administration who backed their enthusiastic opposition to the Spirit-Jet Blue merger, dozens of regional airports will now lose service and thousands of jobs will now be lost.”
As for Warren’s complaint about competition, several other airlines immediately offered Spirit flyers ways to rebook tickets, often with capped fares. American Airlines and United Airlines are launching webpages geared toward Spirit employees suddenly looking for jobs. The bigger airlines will likely buy up all of Spirit’s usable assets. In other words, they will all get bigger — because of Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, and crew.
In any case, Trump tried to save Spirit with the aforementioned bailout offer, which would have given the government (read: taxpayers) a 90% stake in the company. President Trump “was like a dog on a bone trying to figure out a way to keep Spirit afloat,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, but “in the end, a deal couldn’t be reached.”
Was Trump right? Duffy didn’t seem to think so. He opposed the bailout on the grounds that he was protecting taxpayers from a bad investment. He was right. “There’s been a lot of money thrown at Spirit, and they haven’t found their way into profitability,” Duffy said on April 21. “If no one else wants to buy them, why would we buy them?”
Over the weekend, he added that no other airlines would be getting money, either. “At this point, I don’t think it’s necessary,” he said. “They do have access to cash. If they want to come to the U.S. government, we would be a lender of last resort. If they can find dollars in the private markets — I think that’s better for them.”
Duffy is exactly right, and it’s a welcome shift for Trump’s administration, which has been all too eager to “invest” in a number of companies and fields. In the meantime, the real losers are Spirit’s customers and employees, and they can send their thank-you cards to Warren, Biden, & Co.
US oil giants ExxonMobil and Chevron have openly defied ongoing pressure from the White House to increase oil production despite soaring prices and an escalating energy crisis sparked by the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
The Financial Times reported on Friday that senior executives from both companies stood firm in their commitment to current strategies, even as the United States faces rising fuel costs linked to the war against Iran.
Neil Hansen, Exxon’s chief financial officer, said there has been “no change” in operations in the Permian Basin, emphasizing that the company is already operating at maximum capacity.
“There’s really no need for us to shift up because we’re already in high gear,” he said, underlining the unwavering commitment of the oil giant to their established practices.
Similarly, Chevron’s finance chief, Eimear Bonner, reinforced the company’s stance, arguing that the current crisis caused by geopolitical instability does not warrant a significant change in their plans.
“The crisis has not prompted any change to any of our plans,” she said, noting that the company’s focus remains on improving free cash flow rather than simply boosting production.
“You wouldn’t expect us to be changing our plans significantly on the back of eight weeks of disruption,” she added, referring to the ongoing turmoil affecting global oil supply.
Iran closed the strategic Strait of Hormuz to shipping associated with the US, Israel and their allies, days after the war began, sending energy prices soaring worldwide. The US later imposed a blockade of Iranian ports, further shaking the global markets.
Oil prices surged to approximately $126 per barrel, with US gasoline prices climbing above $4 a gallon.
In the first quarter of the year, Exxon reported a net income of $4.2 billion, representing a 46 percent decline compared to the previous year. This drop was primarily attributed to a $3.9 billion loss related to undelivered cargo hedges.
The company also acknowledged that the war against Iran is expected to decrease its global output by about six percent.
Meanwhile, Chevron reported a net income of $2.2 billion, a 37 percent decrease, although its overall production saw an increase due to acquisitions and heightened output in certain regions.
Despite the challenges, both companies have reported that their refineries are functioning at record levels, taking advantage of high prices for diesel and other refined products, even while they refuse to increase crude production.
In response to the mounting pressure from the Trump administration, senior officials have been engaging directly with industry leaders to advocate for an increase in drilling activities.
The government’s outreach aligns with President Donald Trump’s longstanding energy policy, characterized by the mantra “DRILL, BABY, DRILL.”
The pressure is escalating as ongoing inflation and rising gasoline prices threaten political consequences, intensifying the urgency for domestic production to alleviate costs for American consumers.
have watched in horror as animals succumb to the gruesome effects of rodenticides (rat poison). The sight of an animal suffering a slow, painful death due to poisoned bait, their body desperately trying to clot blood but failing, is etched in my mind. This dreadful scene is not an isolated occurrence but a tragic reality for many, affecting not just intended rodent targets but a multitude of other creatures, including household pets and endangered species.
Rodenticides, touted as the solution to pest problems, are indiscriminate killers. Once ingested, these poisons disrupt the victim’s ability to produce vitamin K, leading to internal bleeding, organ failure, and ultimately, death. Studies indicate that up to 83% of raptors such as hawks and owls have rodenticides in their bodies as a result of consuming poisoned prey. Similarly, it’s not uncommon to hear of beloved pets – dogs and cats – suffering the same fate, adding to the heartache and loss.
Despite their devastating impact on wildlife and domestic animals, rodenticides remain widely available. The ecological imbalance they cause is alarming, wiping out predators who naturally keep rodent populations in check, leading to an over-reliance on even more chemicals.
There are sustainable and humane alternatives to chemical rodenticides. Introducing and maintaining natural predators is one effective solution. Encouraging proper sanitation and sealing of entry points in buildings can significantly reduce rodent problems. Additionally, non-toxic deterrents such as ultrasonic devices or traps designed to catch and release provide a humane means to manage pests without collateral damage to other species.
We must act now to protect our pets, our endangered species, and our environment. By banning these harmful chemicals, we can pave the way for wiser pest control measures that don’t endanger other life forms on this planet.
Join me in urging policymakers to impose a ban on rodenticides and promote safer, more sustainable alternatives. Sign this petition to create a safer environment for all living beings. Every signature counts towards saving a life. Will you lend your voice to this crucial cause?
On Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Donald Trump and senior administration officials were targeted in yet another assassination attempt at a Washington hotel.
While law enforcement acted swiftly to stop the attacker, the incident exposed a clear vulnerability: the continued reliance on external, non-secured venues for high-level government events.
President Trump said after the attack that this is “exactly the reason” a “large, safe, and secure ballroom” should be built on White House grounds. He’s right. In the name of national security and common sense, it’s time to move forward with construction of a secure East Wing ballroom.
Hosting events of this scale outside the White House perimeter inherently increases risk. Even with extensive coordination, hotels and public venues cannot match the layered, controlled, and constantly monitored security of the White House. This attack showed how determined individuals can exploit those gaps.
This issue should not be partisan. Regardless of political views, every American should agree that protecting the President must come first. A secure on-site venue is a practical, forward-looking solution that benefits any administration, present and future.
President Trump has long supported improving both security and functionality at the White House. This proposal reflects that goal: creating a space that can safely host major events while also modernizing facilities for the American people. Like past presidents who made lasting improvements to the White House, this effort builds on that tradition.
A new ballroom would do more than enhance security. It would provide a place to celebrate American achievement, host cultural and civic events, and bring people together in a setting that reflects national pride and unity.
The concentration of national leadership in unsecured locations presents an ongoing and unacceptable risk. As threats evolve, so must the infrastructure that protects our government and democratic institutions. The events of April 25 are a clear warning.
We must act decisively. We respectfully urge immediate action to complete construction of a secure East Wing ballroom at the White House.

There has always been this convenient belief that Big Tech operates independently from government, as if the data you store, search, and upload exists in some neutral corporate space, but that illusion is breaking down rapidly as the lines between Silicon Valley and Washington disappear in real time.
Google has now entered into a classified agreement with the Pentagon allowing its artificial intelligence systems to be used for “any lawful government purpose,” which is a phrase that sounds benign until you understand what it actually means in practice.
This is not a narrow contract tied to a single project. It opens the door for integration into mission planning, intelligence analysis, and even weapons targeting systems operating on classified networks, and once those systems are embedded, the distinction between commercial technology and state infrastructure effectively disappears.
At the same time, Google does not retain control over how that technology is ultimately used, because under the terms being reported, the company has no ability to veto lawful government operations, meaning once access is granted, the downstream application is no longer in their hands. Please be reminded that Google has been collecting data on everyone and everything for decades: Google Maps, Google Search, Google Photos, Google Drive, Gmail, etc.
This is where the narrative people have been told begins to collapse, because for years the assumption was that your data sat within a corporate ecosystem governed by terms of service and internal policies, yet what is now being constructed is something entirely different, a shared infrastructure where private data, artificial intelligence, and state power intersect.
Even inside Google, there is significant resistance to this shift, with more than 600 employees signing letters to CEO Sundar Pichai warning that these systems could be used for “lethal autonomous weapons and mass surveillance,” and expressing concern that once deployed in classified environments, there is no meaningful oversight or transparency. “We want to see AI benefit humanity; not to see it being used in inhumane or extremely harmful ways. This includes lethal autonomous weapons and mass surveillance but extends beyond,” the letter reads.
This is part of a broader shift in which every major AI company is now aligning with the defense sector, competing for contracts reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars, thereby transforming artificial intelligence from a commercial tool into a strategic asset within global power dynamics.
From my perspective, this follows the same pattern we see in every major cycle of power consolidation, where private innovation is gradually absorbed into state control during periods of rising geopolitical tension. Once that process reaches a certain threshold, the distinction between public and private effectively vanishes.
People focus on the wrong question, asking whether Google is “sharing your data” directly with the government, when the real issue is far more structural. Once the same systems that process your emails, photos, searches, and behavior are integrated into government operations, the architecture itself becomes unified, and access becomes a matter of policy, not possibility.
When artificial intelligence becomes the interface between data and decision-making, whoever controls that system controls the interpretation of reality itself, and that is where the real power lies. For the first time in history, we are witnessing the convergence of data, technology, and government authority into a single structure that has already become far too powerful to dismantle.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a multi-state Salmonella outbreak that’s linked to backyard poultry, including chickens and ducks. At the time of this reporting, 34 cases of Salmonella infections have been reported, with 13 individuals requiring hospitalization. However, the CDC says the actual number of Salmonella infections may be much higher, as most people can recover without medical care and are never tested for Salmonella.
What To Know About the Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Backyard Poultry
The 34 cases of Salmonella have been reported in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. The CDC has interviewed 29 of the sickened individuals, and 79 percent of them report having contact with backyard poultry.
Additionally, 14 of the backyard poultry owners say they have obtained the animals since Jan. 1, 2026. All 34 individuals tested positive for Salmonella infections between Feb. 26 and March 31.
The CDC cannot trace the Salmonella infections back to one poultry supplier, so if you own backyard poultry or come into contact with the birds, you should follow strict safety precautions.
How To Protect Yourself From Salmonella
It’s important to remember that all backyard poultry can carry Salmonella germs, which can easily spread to any areas where the birds roam. You can become infected by touching backyard poultry, then touching your mouth or food and swallowing the germs.
If you touch backyard poultry, their eggs, or anywhere that they live, you should immediately wash your hands or use hand sanitizer. The CDC warns against kissing or snuggling the birds. Be sure to sanitize any supplies you use to care for the poultry—including your shoes—and never eat or drink anything around the flock.
If you are handling backyard poultry’s eggs, the CDC recommends collecting eggs often, as allowing them to sit in a nest can cause them to break or get dirty. Any broken or cracked eggs should be thrown away. You can clean off any dirty eggs with a cloth, brush, or sandpaper—but never wash the eggs as the water can draw germs into the egg.
Lastly, be sure to store eggs in the fridge to slow down the growth of bacteria.
What Are the Signs of a Salmonella Infection?
If you have recently come into contact with backyard poultry, you may want to monitor yourself for Salmonella symptoms, which can present between six hours and six days after exposure. Common symptoms include diarrhea, a fever above 102 degrees F, vomiting, and dehydration.
Most healthy people recover within seven days without any treatment, but some people—like children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems—may experience more severe illnesses that can lead to hospitalization or death.
If you are experiencing any Salmonella symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately. If you test positive for Salmonella, take medical action first, then report the infection to your local or state health department.

If you are experiencing any Salmonella symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider. For questions regarding this recall, you can contact Ghirardelli at 1-844-776-0419.
, Alaska – Last week, a heartbreaking discovery was made on property in the Caswell Lakes area of the Mat-Su region of Alaska. More than two dozen sled dogs were found dead at a dog-sledding kennel known as Walker’s Wild Ride…a kennel that was the subject of repeated warnings to the local animal control agency.
Authorities say the husky mixes likely starved after being abandoned without food, adequate shelter, or basic care. Concerned individuals, including local mushers and community members, say that serious neglect had been reported to Mat-Su Animal Control months before the dogs were discovered, but no meaningful action was taken, and 25 dogs died as a result.
Now, 35-year-old Misty Rehder has been arrested and charged with 26 counts of animal cruelty.
AT A GLANCE
On April 15, 25 dead sled dogs were found at a kennel outside of Willow, AK.
Police arrested Misty Rehder on April 21; she is charged with 26 counts of animal cruelty.
Local mushers tried to alert the local authorities to conditions at the property for months.
Good Samaritans claim animal control officials failed to take action, despite repeated warnings.
One dog, Woody, survived and is receiving care.
Woody Survived
But the tragedy does not end with one arrest. Multiple sources indicate that this suffering was known and ongoing. It is alleged that animal control officials claimed the situation was being taken care of, but clearly it was not.
One individual claims she attempted to bring food and straw to the dogs, only to be turned away by an animal control officer. If true, it begs the question, why did animal control officials fail to take meaningful action?
Many of the dogs were found chained to plastic barrels or crude wooden structures, with no insulation and no way to break free. The abandoned dogs had no way to escape their slow and painful demise.
Make no mistake, these dogs suffered. Death by starvation is excruciating. Worse yet, their situation was known, but they were still allowed to die a slow and agonizing death.

If you are outraged by what these dogs endured, and by the fact that their suffering was reportedly known but not stopped, please add your name to this petition today. These dogs were not invisible. People spoke up. Warnings were given. There were opportunities to intervene.
Your signature is a demand for accountability. More than from just the person facing 26 counts of animal cruelty, but also for the system that failed to act when it mattered most.
Misty Rehder must be held fully accountable for the prolonged suffering and deaths of these dogs. This was preventable cruelty, and the consequences must reflect that. But accountability cannot stop there. Reports of neglect were made well before these dogs died. If those warnings were ignored, then a serious failure occurred within the system meant to protect them. Animal Victory and its supporters demand a full, transparent review of how this case was handled, and a demand for any necessary changes to ensure this never happens again.
These dogs should not have died, and someone must answer for that.
Note: Rehder was arrested and appeared in court virtually for her alleged 26 counts of Class C felony level- animal cruelty, with each charge carrying a maximum of 5 years in prison and $50,000 fine. Her bail is set at $25,000. May 4 is her next scheduled court date; to decide a third-party custodian, she also has eviction court set on the 5th. Alaska Statute 11.61.140(a)(1), which covers knowingly inflicting “severe or prolonged physical pain or suffering” on an animal is the specifically listed complaint filed and supported by the Alaskan State Troopers affidavit.

On April 8, 2025, the Vires Law Group, in collaboration with the Former Feds Group Freedom Foundation, submitted formal criminal referral requests to the Attorneys General of Arizona and Pennsylvania. These filings urge state prosecutors to open criminal investigations into Dr. Anthony Fauci and other prominent public health and government officials for alleged crimes committed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The referrals are based on detailed evidence—including the stories of over 80 victims and families—and allege that policies such as lethal hospital protocols, the denial of life-saving treatments, and systemic medical coercion led to widespread injury and death.
Similar filings have been submitted on behalf of constituents in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, marking a coordinated nationwide effort to pursue justice through state and local authorities:
Dr. Anthony Fauci – Former Director, NIAID
Dr. Cliff Lane – Deputy Director, NIAID

From the food in your fridge to the appliances in your home to the car in your driveway, recalls touch everyday life, but the warnings don’t always reach us in time. It takes time for the investigators to kind of put the pieces of the puzzle together. Teresa Murray is the consumer watchdog for the US Public Interest Research Group. She walked us through the timeline of *** typical food recall. It can take several weeks between the time that somebody gets sick and goes. To *** medical provider and then the time that the CDC identifies the source and there’s enough information to say, Aha, OK, it’s that particular brand of that particular product. For things like vehicles and consumer products, Murray says it can take months, even years, as regulators and companies negotiate over fixes. The consequences of those delays can be deadly. Last week, the US government released *** warning about *** popular Fisher Price baby. In 2019, Fisher Price recalled its rock and place sleeper after more than 30 infant deaths since its 2009 release. *** House Oversight report found the company and the Consumer Product Safety Commission knew of fatalities and injuries as early as 2012.

Harley-Davidson recalls nearly 17,000 motorcycles over brake failure issue
Nearly 17,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles have been recalled for a potential brake failure issue. The recalled models include the following:• 2025-2026 Harley-Davidson FXLRS (production date from Dec. 5, 2024 to March 16, 2026) • 2025-2026 Harley-Davidson FXLRST (production date from Oct. 3, 2024 to March 16, 2026)• 2025-2026 Harley-Davidson FXBB (production date from Oct. 3. 2024 to March 16, 2026)• 2025-2026 Harley-Davidson FLHC (production date from Oct. 3, 2024 to March 12, 2026) According to a notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company was first notified in March about an allegation of inoperable brakes on a 2025 FXLRST model motorcycle.A review of warranty and service records identified three additional claims of brake fluid loss or inoperable rear brakes, the report says.After further investigation of the issue, Harley-Davidson found that the impacted models had insufficient clearance between the rear brake line and the body control module.”Contact between the brake line and the BCM, over time, could lead to a hole in the brake line and a loss of brake fluid. If brake fluid loss remains undetected, rear braking may be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash,” the recall notice says. While Harley-Davidson is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the motorcycles included in this recall, the company is advising owners that they may notice the presence of brake fluid under recalled models or a decrease in rear brake performance. Harley-Davidson is notifying all dealers about the recall by April 27 and owners will receive notification by May 25, the recall notice says.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
