Spirit’s Demise Falsely Blamed on Trump Administration by Leftists Who Caused It
Just like that, Spirit Airlines is no more. A competitor has been taken out of the market. An affordable alternative to Delta, American, United, and other medium to higher priced airlines has faded quietly into the night. This will undoubtedly drive prices higher. Who do we have to thank for this? Why, the left of course.
During the fraudulent Biden era, Spirit Airlines fell on some tough times. In 2022, hyperinflation by the Biden administration had Spirit Airlines looking for a merger. Frontier Airlines had a bid to do so, but ultimately Jet Blue had the better offer, according to Spirit’s shareholders. When the merger was about to take place, the Biden administration’s DOJ sued to block it. They claimed the merger would reduce competition and lead to higher fares. As a result of their actions, there will now be reduced competition and higher fares.
It was the Democrat party that killed Spirit Airlines, and to think otherwise would be ignoring the facts.
A Few Quick Hits
A few quick hits today to reduce my stack of topics.
*******
This past Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not gerrymander based on race, correctly citing it as unconstitutional. So, we can’t divide based on race. Isn’t that what ending segregation was all about? Since that decision came down, Barack Obama, Chuck Shumer, and Kamala Harris all spoke out condemning the decision. It’s amazing how the Democrat party has come full circle since the mid-1800s. It was the Democrat party that was for segregation then, as well as slavery, and for women not to have voting rights. It was the Republican party that ended all of that. The Democrat party was the party of segregation then, and they are the party of segregation now. You cannot make this stuff up.

Lindsey Graham is a Coward Hiding Behind Corrupt PACs
The coward Lindsey Graham has not been very involved in his own primary. In his many TV interviews, he has not mentioned it once. He was hoping he’d be able to sail through without scrutiny while pushing his big government warmongering agenda. But this time is different. South Carolinians are waking up to his corruption and terrible voting record. He was booed off the stage in Pickens, which is his home county. But instead of acknowledging Mark Lynch, his biggest primary opposition, he has several big corrupt PACs acting on his behalf. He has not agreed to any debates (he’d get smoked), and it is not likely that he will, seeing as the primary is now barely over a month away.
With the primary not far off, Lindsey, knowing he is unpopular has started attacking Mark Lynch. He has very little to go on. Lynch has one blemish on his record – a drug charge from 42 years ago. He received a pardon and went on to defeat that demon in his life. He met his wife in the recovery program and built his family from there. That’s all Graham has. Nevertheless, he’s already sent two mailings highlighting that one thing, and there will likely be several more before the primary. But if we put a list together about the negatives of both candidates, Graham’s list would be far longer.
Since Graham does not want to dirty his own hands (much like Pontius Pilate), he has some big PACs with special interests doing his dirty work for him.
Trust Trump, Just Not His Endorsements
When it comes to President Trump, he’s absolutely been a net positive for this country. The America First initiatives, closing of the border, deportation of illegal aliens, revitalization of our military (taking the woke out of it and record recruiting), and protection of the homeland from our enemies have all been spot on. However, the man isn’t perfect, and unlike the left, who have no diversity of thought (some might call that a cult), we here on the right know how to call a spade a spade. It isn’t unhealthy to have debate within our own party, quite the opposite in fact. One area in which the president has left something to be desired is in his endorsements.
Yesterday, President Trump wrote the following on Truth Social: “Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job. He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the worst Congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie, of the great commonwealth of Kentucky. I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE. VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
So much to dissect there. First of all, President Trump does not know Mark Lynch. They never met. Mark Lynch is a principled conservative, a family man, a man of God, and the exact right fit for the people of South Carolina, whose citizens (not necessarily their representation) are quite conservative. Lindsey Graham can make none of those same claims. His conservative voting record is 57% lifetime. Barely over the line from being a Democrat. He supports war, amnesty, USAID, and stabs Trump in the back regularly. (For more on this, see “Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham” from 4/8/26.) Lindsey Graham has no family. He is not a man of God by any means. Recently, he took a trip to Disney World, where he was seen holding a magic wand. Real beta stuff. Many are wondering if he has the dress to match the wand. Does he have nothing better to do during a government shutdown?
