People inside Southwest Airlines are speaking out carefully and pointing out why there are so many flight disruptions. Essentially, the background issues are what were discussed earlier. Pilots are pushing back against vaccine mandates; and if you think about the curriculum vitae of a typical pilot, it makes sense.
A big percentage of commercial airline pilots are former military pilots. That group of people carry a strong disposition toward the principles of patriotism, service, liberty and freedom.
It is a simple truism that upsets leftists, but it makes sense for this specifically skilled workforce group to be the tip of the push back spear.
Alex Berenson provides some background details after being contacted by a Southwest pilot: “The pilot emailed following the first Southwest post today (and provided his SWA ID to prove his identity). He asked that I paraphrase the email.
Essentially, the union cannot organize or even acknowledge the sickout, because doing so would make it an illegal job action. Years ago, Southwest and its pilots had a rough negotiation, and the union would not even let the pilots internally discuss the possibility of working-to-rule (which would have slowed Southwest to a crawl).
But at the moment the pilots don’t even have to talk to each other about what they’re doing. The anger internally – not just among pilots but other Southwest workers – is enormous. The tough prior negotiations notwithstanding, Southwest has a history of decent labor relations, and workers believe the company should stand up for them against the mandate. Telling pilots in particular to comply or face termination has backfired. (read more)
This account is being confirmed by multiple people in/around the industry on social media:
As we previously outlined, this is not about vaccines per se’, this is more about a slippery slope of having the government dictate how you can live your life and earn a living.
If they can force you to have a medical procedure, and then carry documentation of that procedure in order to work… why can’t they force you to get a small electronic implant of your identification, which would coincidentally include your medical authorizations for work?
It’s just a metal detector…. it’s just taking off your shoes… it’s just wearing a mask…. it’s just a vaccination….. it’s just a COVID passport… it’s always, “just”.
Factually I do not believe a federal mandate for a vaccine is even possible or legal. It appears to me that all of Biden’s threats in this regard are simply that, threats.
The purpose of the threat is to push people to take the vaccine without actually attempting a legal federal mandate; and that approach so far has been successful. However, now they are going to encounter the more hard-core groups who will not concede liberty or freedom to a federal mandate.
It is obvious Anthony Fauci also knows a federal mandate will lose in court when challenged. The fact that Fauci brings up state vaccination requirements for education, as examples of historically forced vaccinations is both a strawman argument and structurally false. There has never been a FEDERAL mandate for any vaccination. All the vaccinations Fauci discusses (ex. his kids) were state mandates. Each state also has a different set of standards and laws for children and vaccines. There is nothing federal.
The federal government is attempting to set up a federal work authorization standard for private businesses. Non compliance means you cannot work, or you lose your existing job if your employer goes along with the government demand. THAT alone should alarm everyone.
There is a particularly enraging irony in that Joe Biden’s federal DOJ and Dept of Labor do not enforce employment eligibility authorization for illegal aliens based on legal status, while at the same time the Biden Dept. of Labor is putting OSHA in charge of a federal policy that will enforce vaccination requirements. Go figure.
All of the federal exemptions essentially undermine the “national health emergency” argument, because if there really was such a public health emergency, there would be no exemptions at all. The application of the executive order undermines the actual cornerstone of the executive order itself. It cannot withstand scrutiny…. hence, Biden doesn’t actually put any rules or regulations into writing because that gives lawsuits something specific to file injunctions against.
In the interim, as the freedom coalition digs in to mount a patriotic challenge, the authoritarian attempt of the federal government, the rebellious alliance is hitting back in unique ways as noted by the Southwest Airline pilots and Air Traffic Controllers, both groups hold a significant military service record.
Another group who are pushing back against the federal effort are local law enforcement. Again, another private sector group that has a heavy percentage of former military service members amid the ranks.
The blue-collar effort to bolster the resistance by these groups does not have to be too massive to have an impact. Remember, almost all of these leftists and elite-minded communists who now operate as Democrats have no capacity for self-sufficiency. If the working class stops picking up their trash; stops mowing their lawns, shopping for them, doing their cleaning and essentially facilitating their lives, this entire group of people cannot function.
Mad about #SouthwestAirlines pilots?
It’s a simple fix
Learn to fly yourself!
#learntofly
Not angry with the pilots – furious at the corrupt regime in DC. screwing up everything in sight.
I’m certain Michael is just parroting what the Twitter twats would scream were the situation reversed.
First up comment flies in the face of supporting SW pilots and Jax ATC who is fighting the illegal jab on our behalf.
Several years ago there was a post about the first commenter who tries to throws a monkey wrench in the thread. Yep.
Truer words were never spoken. TY!
I took it as /sarcasm
That’s a thought which I hadn’t thought of. Apology if that’s the case.
I believe it’s a play on the old #learntocode absurdity.
cannot believe you didn’t get the ref.. #learntocode the left told miners
Best if all airline pilots were to get diarrhea and vomiting from airport sushi! Truck drivers too! Patriots unite!!!
Next we need the truckers to stop delivering to D RAT run cities. That happens, you would see people killing each other for CRUMBS to eat. I think they are the next group to do a walkout.
I retired from truck driving last year. So ya kno, companies are refusing to go to California and drivers are refusing to go to New York! And Chicago is right up there on the list too. Minnesota,anywhere, forget it!
I thought that gas station sushi was the death knell as far as food goes. I suppose the combined effects of airport sushi and cnn blaring in the background could equal the effects of the ‘land-based’ sushi.
🙂
how are you gonna fly yourself when ATC is shut down, genius?
ref was to the lefts #learntocode fiasco…genius
Proper routing you don’t even worry about the ATC. But don’t worry, nobody is going to learn to fly a commercial heavy from 20hrs of videos on YouTube.
It will matter when the equipment needed for other than VFR flight isn’t working any more. Radar, ILS, VOR, lighted landing aids are all maintained by FAA Tech Ops. More than half of us at the SSC (airport region) I work at will leave work before taking the ClotShot. Multiply this across the entire nation, and it will have an enormous impact on air travel, particularly this time of year with bad weather and poor visibility.
VFR in a Cessna 🙂
I don’t think there were too many CAT III (or CAT I/II) airports in Britain back in the early/mid 40’s, so if they could operate heavily laden Lancasters from grass strips, we can easily operate piston/turbine twins.
Or drive.
FJB
Proof that you can clarify on a central point without being crass.
Bohica, Joe!
“Im Learning to Fly, but I ain’t got wings.
Coming down, is the hardest thing.”
coming down is EASY and natural…now a controlled descent is another matter altogether
My retired Airline pilot friend tells me he has several SW Pilots he is talking to and they are really HOT about it. This is not going to be resolved any time soon.
Looks like similar disruptions are starting to happen at other airlines too.
Good!
Same demographic as all the other airlines. Let’s hope this sector leads the way. I’ll be happy to give up (or drive) for my holiday plans. But the best Christmas present I can thing of would be truckers shutting down the highways and stopping the gifts this year. Maybe a Millennial or two will tune in if their espresso machine gets delayed until next May.
Shut down all freight going in/out of the DC metro area.
Fuel tankers first. Let em walk, it will do them some good.
That took me awhile. It’s still early. YES, THE SWAMP does need to walk. But, they will call in the buses before they do that. They have unlimited contracts it seems, especially surrounding election day.
And, they have trains that WE THE PEOPLE always seem to be on the hook for and yet we don’t use them.
When all else fails, their lobbyists will all put them on their private planes. Remember that while everyone else was/is on lockdown, private planes did not/do not have the same issues.
THE SWAMP needs to feel the pain. From all angles.
You still need the air traffic controllers to fly private planes.
And Tech Ops to maintain all the equipment that makes IFR flight and landing possible. Including air to ground radio.
Yes, they can all be put on private aircraft, but who maintains them?
Won’t take much to throw a wrench into that gearing system 🙂
Ooh, that is brilliant!
And the Hamptons, New York City, Atlanta, LA, San Francisco – turn it all off to the blue areas.
Just make sure that the booze gets stopped first going into the Hamptons…HRC will be going Cold Turkey for awhile…
Turning the booze off to San Fran and DC DEFINITELY would provoke a response from San Fran Nan.
Nancy Pelosi has a liquor bill in excess of $100,000 in a year on the plane she had built for herself at our expense.
And that is just for her own personal consumption. No one else. Wonder what the ice cream bill is. I think #IceQueen is a good name for her, although yesterday I was really feeling #SheDevil while she was visiting with the #HeDevil.
Harris says she wants to see new discoveries, right? Well, fool, discover this!
Force a shutdown in that city and surrounding suburbs. Every single person in that town and it’s surrounding suburbs is part of the problem. They are either
BLM,
BLM sympathizers,
Antifa,
Antifa sympathizers,
demoncrats,
communists,
socialists,
crooked judges,
bureaucrats, or
lying thieving politicians.
Make everyoe of these scum feel the effects of a shutdown.
You want violence in the street you will get it if truckers shut down.
Good!
That’s fine with me. I’ll watch the morons eat themselves.
It may be coming to an Interstate highway near you soon.
I hope this is true –
If it’s true about United, Dopey Joe is gonna be heap big mad. A few days ago, he touted the company’s vaxx percentage as having gone up to over 90%. Never mind the company had to fire a lot of employees to get to that high mark. If those fired employees are hired back, or the firings are stopped in their tracks before they actually take effect, he’s gonna have a meltdown. He’s becoming more and more enraged when he doesn’t get his way. Blow it out your ear, tough guy.
Let’s go, Brandon!
Amen! Very well said! LET’S GO, BRANDON!!!
Let’s go Brandon! ……………………. baby!
he gonna be real mad… foot stompin’ mad…get some ice cream mad… rofl… while he exposes his obtuse senility
So long as it’s not spittin’ mad, I had a supervisor that did that and it ain’t pretty. He was a division VP too, the thought just sent a shiver down my spine.
I think their vaxx numbers are inflated just like every other number they churn out.
F Joe Biden
All of those “fired” pilots should start their own airline. Let’s Go Brandon Airlines!! Now the Air Traffic guys might be able to join as well.
Hey, Admin, I hit the wrong button should be Deborah D — so sorry! (O is my middle initial!)
The Borg deep-space sensor network is picking up some strange signals:
This meme claiming the pandemic as the primary cause for the crippling disruptions of national supply chains is becoming highly suspect, especially in light of what’s going on now with air travel. All of the sudden there aren’t enough truck drivers to service container cargo backlogs at every major port; there aren’t enough skilled people to operate complex machinery need to offload the back log of container vessels (now approaching 100 off Long Beach); there’s a 25-mi backlog of rail traffic waiting to be cleared through Chicago hub; not enough Fed Ex drivers; not enough doctors, nurses, and EMT’s. Hospital ER’s overloaded due to staffing shortages. No new cars ( or very few), dwindling supply of spare parts. Slow downs in general manufacturing due to lack of raw materials … on and on.
We’re coming to the realization the Great Reset is turning into the Great Strike! True, many people (like truck drivers) are working longer hours, it seems less and less is getting done; almost as if some folks are deliberately slowing down to the point where work now consumes time available. What’s going on in the airline industry is an excellent example of this principle.
Traditional strikes no longer happen since the unions were bought out by the Deep State Uniparty and Marxist ideology. When was the last time the UAW or Teamsters ever went on a full-blown strike and work stoppage? How odd: the more Left Wing they became, the less concern for workers rights, the very reason unions were created in the first place!
Nurses and many of those serving in other medical technical professions belong to unions, did those unions stand up for them when these giant corporate healthcare systems decided to fire anyone not taking the jab? No, just crickets.
We’ve seen a number of comments from posters mentioning the great Ayn Rand’s seminal novel, “Atlas Shrugged”. What if the most important people in the nation, the creators and producers, decided to go on strike? Corporations are doing it for us by firing the most important and critical people because they chose to exercise their right to self-determination and not bow to the whims of the corporate collective.
How many nurses have been fired for rightfully refusing the jab? Truck drivers? Crane operators? Rail switchyard personnel? Car mechanics? Electricians? Plumbers? The guy who picks up your trash once a week, or the crews who repair downed powerlines after a hurricane? And now add air traffic controllers, pilots, cabin crew, maintenance personnel, baggage handlers, ticket agents to the growing list.
It takes only a tiny fraction of these people serving in critical infrastructure and industries to bring this country to its knees. Whether by design or happenstance, we believe the Great Strike started on 4-NOV-2020 and is only just now picking up momentum.
All the calamity we see going on around us is not about the so-called pandemic, it runs much deeper than that; it’s about the choices being made by free men and women. Rage!
Rage against the machine!
Rage against the repressive collectivist mindset!
Rage against the conformist who believes he or she is better protected by wearing two masks!
Rage against anyone wearing a mask, it’s time we stopped being polite to those still clutching those disgusting filthy booger-vaults! Especially those who take their masks off in the car and hang it on the rearview mirror –may there be a special place in Hell just for them!
Rage! The next time someone in a restaurant asks whether or not you got your shot, lick all the silverware on their table.
My family has prepared for this.
SHUT IT DOWN! ALL OF IT!!
100%
The globalists response will likely be to blame and demonize the vax refuses, and hope to turn the rest of the population against them. Their hope will be that neighbors of the pilots will become a Stasi-like force or at least a legion of brownshirts. The more effective any strikes are, the more extreme the response will be from the globalists.
The globalists have succeeded in one thing–a generation dependent on the Fake News media outlets to do their research for them. Oh yeah, some ordinary people have functioning brains, they are simply too lazy, too self-absorbed, too trusting to actually sit down and research all of this.
Rand Paul has been summarily dismissed by many as being too libertarian. He was absolutely right about Fauci. Did the media bother to investigate the answers to any of Paul’s questions? Nope, they just looked up at the pedestal that THEY put St. Fauci the Fraud upon. Most of everything that happened in early 2020 is directly attributable to St. Fraud. By design, and with the cooperation of the Democrats, the steamroller was brought out in DC and, once Fauci’s researchers in Wuhan (with the eager cooperation of the CCP) were able to release the virus in the US and many other countries (if only released in the US, their cover would have been blown). If ever there have been crimes against humanity, these are the crimes committed in the name of regaining power, control and money.
It is time to JUST SAY NO!! I saw last night that the Red Cross is not taking blood donations from those who have taken the vaxx. So what if you need surgery? What if your children or grandchildren need a life-saving transfusion? This entire scenario was not thought out. Then again, maybe it was and maybe the “powers that be” are among the unvaxxed and some of their minions are as well (hence the exemptions by the Biden misadministration). We need to put an end to the madness. NOW.
Biden wants to be the Great Uniter? It certainly doesn’t seem as though he’s even capable of reading that from a teleprompter much less being able to formulate it as a thought and then cogently communicate it. Enough already. What we are living right now is the CoVid version of Independence Day. Who will our Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum be?
True – it will be much more effective if the traitorous mouth pieces feel it first. I don’t know why CNN still gets package and mail deliveries. Of all groups, theirs should slow to a crawl, just sayin’.
I own my own equipment. I broker my own loads. I only haul what I want to where I want for who I want. Screw the evil ones.
Amen Mike!
Sweet, Mike. If only you could say “I still use paper log books” you’d still be independent. Will your truck still run if you drive 20 minutes too long? I hope so. This electronic log BS has really screwed up the trucking world in the last decade.
Same thing has happened in the medical fields with the electronic medical records. It has turned docs into click and follow established computer protocol. The the EMR companies data mine all the patient charts and make big buck on th info sold to big pharma.
Unions (or at least the leadership of unions) do not represent their membership. They are tools of the Democrat Party and have been for decades. The leadership is bought by the Democrat party and paid for by the union workers. The leaders have a seat at the government table now while the workers are forced to wait for the scraps to be thrown out. The unions are well enough embedded by the Deep State to where they are in complete control. Democrats want to take over the right-to-work states and replace their legislatures with compliant union representatives.
Why do you think all of Biden’s inFRAUDstructure rules say that monies spent by the federal government MUST go to UNION companies, UNION workers? The answer is so that UNION leadership gets fatter and more beholden to the government for which it props up. Union workers may have more jobs but it is almost a guarantee that they will make more money because the fat cat leadership is becoming more like the fat cats in DC–their motto is WE ARE NUMBER ONE!
Think Twisted Sister–We Aren’t Gonna Take It!!
The union at my college, the AfT, publishes pro-left, anti-right articles in their newsletters. Residing in Texas, I don’t have to join, and it is on account of their vocal leftism that I have not. I would like a union if it would represent me. Those union leader fools miss out on a lot of members on account of their strident leftism. Unions would do much better if they diversified their leadership. As it stands, they can go to H#%%.
I think you meant the UNIParty.
You had me at “…lick all the silverware on their table”!
You might have a point there, especially about Truckers. I travelled back to Florida from New Jersey in early September and I have never seen so many truckers on the road. With that being said, if they are not moving like they should, that cripples the whole supply chain immediately. Also, there is a huge shortage of warehouse workers, and without them you are not unloading those trucks as fast as it should be done. It does not take long to back up the supply chain.
And what no one is talking about is how much CARGO the airlines carry. With no planes flying, the supply chain issues get even worse.
I think the states taking all of the covid bucks (like the airlines and other corporations) is the reason so many Red state legislatures and especially governors are not trying to stop these vaccine mandates.
It’s like they already took the dirty money payoff and fear reprisals from the mob if they go against it now.
I have mentioned before, Karl Denninger already provided sample legislation for the Republican governors. They have this, but still they have allowed this to go on.
What about new hires??
#fjb
Love the catch phrase and a great inspirational 24 seconds indeed!
We ned to shut the entire country down until the regime collapses. How do you spell NATIONAL STRIKE?
There are more of us than there are of them.
1. I won’t fly on a plane with a “ vaxxed “ pilot.
2. I refuse to wear a mask.
I’d soon die free before I live long as a slave.
I was an infidel in the Gulf 1, declared a deplorable by Democrats in 2016 and today defending the Constitution a domestic terrorist.
Military take an oath to the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. And when domestic leadership becomes the enemy of its citizens we will defend the Constitution.
With you on this brother!
I took my Oath of Enlistment 8 Feb 1976 and I do not recall seeing any expiration date
it goes to integrity and honesty in the end though…EVERY congresscritter and federal employee takes a similar oath to uphold the fidelity of the US Constitution that so many taking it grant it a lifespan of when their breath dies on exhalation after taking it
God Bless America, land that I love; Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above. TY, MIKE.
Took mine on Oct 31st 1982…will spend from then until my eventual death defending the greatest contract of mankind….the Constitution of the United States.
NATIONAL STRIKE! NOTHING MOVES!
Semper Fi my brother…
This all goes away if the moronic voters will wake up, vote republican in the 22 elections. We win the House and or the Senate rendering the current cabal including Biden lame ducks. With republican take over of the House Pelosi has already said she will retire. Get this before a Texas court and judge that understands the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. This is a violation of the 4th Amendment. An injunction against the so called VAX executive order can be issued. Republicans need to get their acts together and fight. Ditch Mitch, the defense rests. J.C.
As if 2020 never happened …
Amazing.
Don’t say just vote Republican. We can’t have appeasers and RINOs like McConnell, Cheney, Kinsinger, Collins, Murkowski, Ducey, Kemp, Cornyn, Crappo, Graham, and all the other DC RINOs. The ones we must vote for are the TRUE CONSERVATIVES. The ones who truly love the country, not just the wealth she can provide to them by using their positions.
I agree with a lot of what you said Jim. We cannot just win in 22. We must eviscerate the Democrats in Congress. They must understand that they work for US, they serve at OUR pleasure. It is not the other way around. Will there be Democrats left in Congress? Sure, some districts are undeniably blue. We, the People need to make them irrelevant until they begin to put the country first.
To that end, watch carefully the redistricting that will take place soon. Democrats, via the “Justice” Department will likely dog red states with lawsuits to invalidate redistricting until the blue courts draw the districts for the red states. That’s the way they operate. They know how to use a very small group of very small-minded judges to do their bidding and get away with it. We need to pressure them. Get involved.
Say partner, Snoopy Says posted a link yesterday for Sydney Powell on Rumble. Evidently, her team uncovered the D-O-D PATENTS for electronic election fraud code going back to 2000!!! Watermarked serialized paper ballots or we are fuct as a Republic.
But how do you beat the F-ing rigged voting machines. How do we win when the Dems can dial in the answer?!?!
You answered your own question.
?
Sorry Jim, this all goes away when one side or the other has so many casualties that they surrender. Judges won’t fix this. Voting won’t fix this. There are already enough examples of both of those options failing.
How about asking GOD to fix it? We keep relying on man to fix problems created by man.
The current problems all boil down to lying, defaming, framing the inconvenient.
Those guilty of the above need to be held accountable.
Satan is the master of lies, and he is currently ecstatic about the amount of them that are coming forth.
Look up Psalms 109, and
pray it fervently againt those that have done the most damage to humanity with their lies.
Millions and millions of people, including me, are praying for divine guidance or intervention. Until that happens pray for the souls of the men and women willing to physically fight for freedom.
Our permanent freedom will come from the second coming of Christ. There are 7 yrs of Tribulation before that event. Perhaps events are lining up for the Tribulation and the Second Coming. May Thy Will be done.
How did that work out for German Jews and Polish Catholics? God helps those who help themselves.
Christians have been under persecution since the founding of Christ’s Church on the world…10 of the 12 original Apostles and Paul were martyred for their beliefs with only John, Christ’s “most beloved”, and Judas Iscariot escaping this fate… there continues to this day to be MANY martyred in Christ’s name…look no further than China, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, and Iraq among many countries…these Christians do NOT shirk in the depth and fidelity of their faith in Christ as their Salvation…the Church has always been strengthened by resistance and conflict and that is still true today
God doesn’t expect you to lean on a shovel and pray for a hole.
THIS.
Just trying to get my actual name back! Thanks, admin!!
If they succeed with the vaccination mandate what makes anyone think they will stop there? If they succeed with that and next succeed in forcing everyone to have a computer chip, like is done with pets, implanted under one’s skin, why wouldn’t they be able to control that chip to force Americans into slavery? I know it sounds like science fiction but with the age of computers with us now it can absolutely work.
No.Dems only want to monitor your bank transactions if they exceed $600/year. What’s wrong with that, comrade?
I wish WE could monitor THEIR bank transactions, don’t you?
Some Real Doctors on OANN said there is a nano particle “Marker” called “Luciferase” in all of these kill jab cocktails.. That is how they have busted so many fake vaxx cards and QR codes, “They” know who’s been stuck.
Will the media cover?
Imagine how this anti-company mandated vaccination would spread if public?
Still no discussion of natural immunity, therapies and herd immunity?
How about testing for antibodies?
Will the media cover? You mean provide cover, right?
You haven’t given up on the media YET?
We are the media.
We are covering it.
We know.
Atlas Shrugged!!!!!!!
Who is John Galt?
Cliff High said there would be a big happening between Oct 4-10. I was beginning to doubt him until these flight cancellations hit. These brave airline employees are the tip of the spear. Let’s Go Brandon! No Mo Joe!
Starve Lucifers Children. They cant do anything for themselves. Sorry can’t fix your plumbing. Sorry cant clean your pool.Sorry cant fix your car. Sorry cant install that giant freezer for your gourmet ice cream.
What’s getting lost here is that the other vaccines that were required for school immunized your child from getting diseases that children actually get, and kept them from infecting others.
Even “journalists” are getting away with pretending that we don’t have a right to “make other people sick”, when that is NOT what this experimental shot can even do.
It also does not work.
It cannot be said enough.
The 1905 SCOTUS case used by the Pro Clot Shot judges is an invalid precedent and cases awarded on that premise need be overturned. It all comes down to the fact that the definition of “vaccine” has been changed at least twice since the Ruling. What was considered a vaccine in 1905 bears little resemblance to the experimental gene modification goop of today. Right back to SCOTUS, folks..
Exactly! We need to get cases to SCOTUS challenging the 1905 ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts.
Yes, and religious and medical exemptions are permitted for now in RI. Although, the dept of health continually attempts to outlaw religious exemptions for vaccine requirements to enter public school. This past year flu vaccine was “mandated” for entrance to school to grades Pre-k and kindergarten. If I still had my job (lost it d/t wouldn’t wear a mask) I was determined NOT to even check the flu vaccine status of any new student entering my schools. The flu vaccine requirement is obviously just a precursor to the covid shot requirement coming any day now.
I wonder how uglier it will get once the clot shot is approved for kids 5-11?
So the reality is that foreign invaders are here to be in OUR country and to spread the diseases and crime they bring in. Their kids will be in our schools to further spread diseases to our kids and in society to our citizens. Dirty Dems isn’t strong enough. Let’s Go Brandon isn’t strong enough either.
I think this disruption is already happening in my little enclave of Cape Cod, MA… throughout the entire pandemic Republic waste services “private” company has been picking up our trash on time. Now all of a sudden last Thursdays pickup was first delayed till Friday then another text saying Monday then another saying Tuesday because of the Columbus day “holiday” that no real working person has off and is not on their website as a company holiday. The governor a total RINO has been pushing the vax mandates hard here. Just an observation and anecdotal for sure.
We went to three restaurants in our small community before we found one open on Friday. Each had a sign on their door “Closed due to staffing issues”.
My wife and I went to N. Conway, NH a few weeks ago and several of the restaurants were closed and reduced hours due to staffing. Cape Cod has been the same way.
That’s happening all over the country, not just Massachusetts.
Same thing happened in my neighborhood in NC last week. Didn’t pick up because of “unforeseen circumstances”. They did pick up the next day. My normal pickup is on Tuesday. We’ll see if Republic has more “unforeseen circumstances” tomorrow.
Twitter’s effort to censor me hits a new high (or low)
Alex Berenson
Apparently my name was trending because of the Southwest/American articles (when people cannot get news anywhere else, they come here).

Apparently people are noticing that this is another instance where our Transportation Secretary is neglecting his duties.
Pete is too busy getting fisted in Key West.
Your honesty is brutal.
He’s on maternity leave (unsure if I should put s/sarc or not).
You meant: DOUBLE FISTED.
Should not present a problem. Pete has for years had his head up there…
You mean, jabbed?!
Mayor Pete is too busy getting rid of racist highways in New Orleans…
Airlines that started beating people up because they wouldn’t give up the seat they paid for, were bound to turn on their own workers sooner or later.
Look how, since 9/11, they took the little bit of authority they were given over the traveling public, and ran with it.
Yeah, Karl’s pretty much hitting it out of the park these days and doesn’t hold back –
The economic damage from this is permanent. So is firing those who won’t comply. Oh, they’ll go find something else to do — but odds are those independent thinkers are the top 5 or 10% of any organization. Get rid of them and it’s like firing five ordinary people for the one you did. Of course nobody thinks of that, but then again not many people are smart when it comes to this sort of thing. They should be — but they’re not.
The elite educated (many in power) look down on anyone who didn’t go to an elite school. I have seen this in peoples body language, when you mention this or that person is a ‘Harvard educated’ (fill in the blank) there’s an increase in attention and the reverse is true with a decrease in attention. Yep, you’ve pretty much just been dismissed. The Harvard educated and other elite school alums commonly referred to as ‘experts’, laughable I know, have seriously screwed the rest of us. Janet Yellen, for example, Brown University, Yale, former assistant professor at Harvard, should know the result of so much government spending is inflation (like night follows day), but pretends she doesn’t – and oops, those price rises you’re seeing really aren’t transitory after all.
These “elitists” want nothing more than to institute feudalism in this country.
A must see video from Reinhart Fullmich:
Go to 36.20 of this video and hear it. You will be uplifted in your spirit and given the truth of this fake public health emergency. God Bless the Berlin Corona Committee!! The true reasons behind the plandemic are getting out there!! Thank you God!!
Excellent point! Fraud removes immunity.
I never thought Castigo Cay was a book about a possible future of society until 2021.
When the airlines whose pilots have had the clot shots are told they cannot fly for a few weeks afterwards, somethings up, like myocardial issues.
Surely, airlines don’t want to be responsible for thousands dying because the pilot had a heart attack en route. And they thought the Hindenburg was a disaster? Talk you way out of that one.
Thanks to those who are standing up for our Freedoms! Save America!
Simple solution,don’t fly.Train or bus.A bit longer but the security crap is easier.
I don’t think there is any venue this won’t affect.
If you think bus lines are safe, do you have a BIG surprise in store for you! Enjoy your, ah, trip…
I’ve had to travel by bus a few times. Never again. Ever see “Romancing the Stone”?
Just don’t go anywhere at all, except by your personal vehicle. Go local. Buy local. There are lots of places in the good ol’ USA I still want to see and visit, but I can wait.
My spouse is gone and supposed to fly home tomorrow. Hm.
That being said, this is a whole lot of sand.
I admire the heck of of these pilots.
These Saul Alinsky jack asses are idiots though. Assuming the vax is population control, what the heck happens when there are only unvax left? You’ve got a bunch of elitist snobs and bunch of hard working, thinking people.
Paging Bill Gates. Who picks up your trash? I’m sure his plane will fly but those bottom tier elitists?
Go Brandon! There are more of us.
This is so exciting to me. I do feel for the oblivious ones who are stranded in various places. But, they have not been paying attention. For those of us who have seen the handwriting on the wall, this is a positive thing that is happening. Sadly, the Oblivious Ones will just blame others rather than realize that they’re lack of planning, lack of paying attention, lack of standing up for freedom, their lack of doing anything about the tyranny, is their own dang faults. Let them feel the inconveniences. Sorry. Not sorry.
None of here are sorry that you’re not sorry. Not sorry. ?
“Let’s go Brandon!” ……………….. baby! ………………….. and all the people that support it.
This ties in.
Would like to remind people that there is an ongoing rental car shortage going on.
Try finding a rental car at the airport. ?
A big problem.
I don’t know exactly what the reason is, I think it is several individual things and then the one big thing, lack of cars.
For example, during the plandemic, Maui had a bunch of rental cars parked in a field. Rats ate the wiring or some key piece of the machine and the cars were rendered useless. Add the car shortage and there are not many rentals and the ones there are; the prices are through the roof.
TRY finding a new car?
CHIPS. no where to be found. NONE in USA; only 1 plant I understand. Rest are China, Taiwan and shut-downs there decimated supply…..
My local car lots, NO cars, NO trucks….looks as if out of biz. Few used inventory models…
We’ve done it to ourselves, DEPENDED on China & China MADE politicians RICH……….
Yes all the chips and all the medicine production. Who let’s their enemy have control over all your countries vital goods. Smh
WE didn’t do it. The globalists, the international corporations and bankers, and all those greedy bastards did it. We the People are just trying to survive. I will never buy a new vehicle. I will never knowingly buy something made by the chicoms. Never. I have found after purchasing something that it was made in China; I took it back and demanded a refund. Buy USA, buy local.
Is the leadership of this country THAT STUPID? Oh Buddy, so stupid you will NEVER believe it, but there is EVEN MORE on the way! They really do think Obama is some kind of dope smoking water walker. HA!
Asked local car rental agent, recently.
Agent said no-one was traveling during 2020 lockdowns, so the fleets were dramatically downsized. Now, with new car shortages, the fleets cannot be “upsized” quickly enough.
God bless the Southwest pilots for throwing the biggest rocks into the machine seen so far. I had always chosen Delta when I was flying frequently – that will change when I resume flying frequently.
Going Woke is believing a bad joke, that will make you go broke.
SW Air is going about to have a very bad quarterly earnings report.
Southwest hasn’t really gone woke. That late night call from the White House put them in a bad spot.
This might be done with a slight wink and nod from a high level position.
Oh, they’re woke. They celebrate BLM, Gay Pride Month, Kneeling, etc. I stopped flying Southwest a couple years back because of it.
Thank you for being on top of things. I really, really hope this pilot, et al., move will be effective!
You know, I might care about this a whole lot more if the airports and airlines that WE THE PEOPLE bail out about every 10-20 years or more, and pay for LOCALLY, weren’t such mask NAZIs and hadn’t exhibited so many other NAZI behaviors.
The way we have watched them treat children, outright abusing them, is SHAMEFUL and DISGUSTING, to say the least. And that says nothing about the way they treated the parents of these children whose sole job is to be the advocate of their innocent children.
WHO ELSE IF NOT THEM?
Just like they do at school board and other school meetings and functions. When I was involved in the schools of my offspring, they could not do without the parents paying out of pocket or via constant fundraising for anything they wanted to order, as if we were a catalog company and they all had unlimited credit and all they had to do was put it in the CART.
The way airports and airlines are treating people on the right to EXTRA SSSS treatment shows a total lack of all humanity. Frankly, I think we should Defund the TSA altogether. Our borders are wide open, why do we need them? They work for us and yet we are treated like criminals within our own country.
You also don’t need my medical history when I fly anywhere in the USA. PERIOD.
The vile and utter sickness shown to the public is deep and never-ending.
How about they write that into their negotiations? NO MORE NAZI rules and regs and NAZI actors.
What ever happened to the Customer Bill of Rights?
Yes agreed 100% — defund and shut down the tsa. Completely useless and huge waste of $$. The tsa makes no one safer and perpetuates the police state with their unnecessary snooping photos patting and groping.
Make airports responsible for security and pare it back 95%. Spread a handful of unmarked security detail through the airports let them keep an eye on things.
Let us take our own water and yogurt on the plane again good grief. TSA is for our safety? What nonsense. And we pay for the privilege of being abused.
I also remember a day one could take an adult beverage on the plane. Now the airlines have gone full nazi on this, with announcements that if you dare try this you’re facing jail time. How absurd. I saw a few people in days of old mixing a cocktail there were no incidents.
To Sundance’s point it’s always ‘just….’ Big Brother has turned the joy of air travel into a miserable Karen dominated experience.
Let’s just all stop flying. We have cars. We have remote work capability. Gas is getting more expensive. Let’s just hunker down in our areas. Enjoy your family and friends. Shop local. Call your long distance friends and relatives. Time to put a stop to all of this crap. If we don’t fly and go to the hot vacation spots, the message will be sent. That may take a while, but the message will be sent. I’ve cut cable and netflix. Go to the local bookstores to trade in books, CDs, and movies for ones I don’t have. Hit them in the wallet, where it hurts.
Already done gave up flying until they behave like humans again.
Yup, I won’t get on a plane until it’s just like in 2019.
You know, I never got on a plane when I didn’t come down sick shortly thereafter. The cabins are a circulating breeding ground, so perhaps the masks are actually to protect us from them. 😉
Two Laine, I know exactly where you speak of regarding schools using parents as ATMs. Every year, hundreds of $$$ flew out the window for school supplies, fees for clubs….. on and on. This was in a school where many of the parents were of lesser economic means then me.
And I am not remotely flush. And all the talk about “underpaid’ teachers? PLEASE. When I pulled up in my cash car Ford Tempo, 12 years old, I felt like trailer trash next to the
loaded , newer Toyota Tacoma pickups, Mercedes this or that, Lexus, Infiniti
G35s…..
All owned by the indigent teachers.
YES! ATM is the perfect way to put it. And we raised TON$$$ for them.
My child’s principal wanted me to be at the school by 3 every day to pick up any fundraising $$$ that came in. I worked about 45 miles away, in a different state and city, but I was PTO Treasurere and that is what she decreed.
I was PTO Treasurer several years in a row. Whenever they asked for something I would just call up a business in the town that might have what they were asking for. Most likely sitting on a back shelf waiting to be used, gathering dust. Like a binding machine for reports and albums and such. Got one from a bank, free, electric with treadle pedal, plus all the extra unused bindings. Better than we would have ever bought.
Trees. They wanted privacy and shade trees for the playground at the back of the elementary school. THey gave us their preferences and costs and I called the County Parks Dept. FREE. Plus they planted them with us and taught the parents how to care for them the first year while they needed a little extra TLC.
This is why I believe that we should shut down the fundraisers.
Sorry. Can’t do it. Get it from your teachers unions.

Teachers have Unions now. But they have to teach what the Union (Communist) leaders tell them to teach.
In my opinion – we need to focus on bringing as much to a stand still as possible. But, we must also peel away the state propaganda media. If they are allowed to continue each night to spin these things anyway that they are told, this will just take longer to resolve. If they stop getting deliveries; if they can’t get basic services done – if their pampered little lives are interrupted…
As some others here have already posted, the blue cities and states should be targeted.
We are many and they are few…
There are a few restaurants in my area that are requiring proof of vaccination status. I think we should make fake reservations to help slow down business even more! I know I will be! #VivaLaResistance! #Let’s Go Brandon!!
Superb! As long as the restaurants don’t start taking credit card numbers when making a reservation so that if there is a cancellation they can put a charge on that card.
Don’t call from a number assigned to you personally or your office phone.
Obviously!
“But at the moment the pilots don’t even have to talk to each other about what they’re doing.”
This is the real, true American grit that has made Americans exceptional. Many, many others have made the same decision without the need to build consensus.
What we see with this pushback is “one nation under God” living by shared values mediated by each one of us following the leading of our faith in God.
They over came him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and they did not love life so much so to shrink from death (or loss of uncome)
Saw a video over the weekend that posits the elite are developing robots as quickly as possible to replace those of us who refuse to be slaves. The author / producer claims they hate us (I believe that part), want to eliminate humans (I believe that part, too) and if they can get rid of true humans (non-modified) then the planet will be all theirs and the pesky useless eaters will be gone!
Something to watch for. Robotics are becoming the big thing in some circles.
Maybe dementia Joe was onto something when he said to learn coding.
Assassin robots could be useful .
Medical community ONLY cares about COVID, period. MAKE THEM NUMBERS SOAR……
Have an older friend, late 70’s. Fully vaxxed.
He became ill mid-wk this past wk. Finally visited MD on THurs…..HIS RESULT WAS: NEGATIVE for COVID..
Fri much worse and on Sat morning couldn’t get out of bed.
Visited ER: RESULT. double pneumonia and infection. NO COVID…Now, having difficulty getting his oxygen levels up……
The ONLY test anyone medically is concerned about is COVID…and a positive test.
THIS may also be WHY so many deaths…..UNTIL COVID positive, NOBODY GETS TREATED…..
Yup, I had a positive “test” in the ER (had fever for 6 days). The nurse said I had crackles in the lower left base of my lungs. All I got got from the fully vaxxed mid-30’s ER doc wearing an N95 mask was a fist bump and asked when I was going to get vaxxed. I told him never, a lot of people die right after the shot.
No chest X-ray, even though I told the doctor the last time in my life I couldn’t break a fever was when I had walking pneumonia, No antibiotics, no steroids, no nothing but a sheet of paper that explained Covid.
My fever lasted another 4 days before I got a Z pack and steroids. Fever went away in a day. Pneumonia, just like I knew and the only reason I went to the ER on a Sunday night.
They were only concerned with Covid and nothing else. The doctor only wanted to push the vax. Didn’t rule out any other differential diagnoses, which is malpractice.
And why do we need to vaccinate for a disease so deadly they do nothing for you and send you home to cohabitate with your family??
These people are stupid. My wife has to wear a mask while rounding on patients at one of the hospitals they do surgery. We were just talking about how stupid it is especially since these are medical professionals implementing these policies.
It’s all stupid. I’m glad these pilots and air traffic controllers are pushing back.
Hospital gets bags of cash for C, not much for walking pneumonia.
For any caretakers in the group here, record your communications with doctors and staff regarding your loved one’s care. It may come in handy later on and it may press them to do more of the right things.
If they are wary of being recorded/filmed via your phone, say you need it in writing. The only reason you are doing this is that you are stressed and don’t want to not remember all the doctor or staff is saying.
Someone in a earlier comment made an excellent point. These walkouts and shutdowns of services need to be strategically targeted. They need to be focused on the Blue cities and states that are the rabid enforcers of this civilization destroying Democrat enforced diktat.
The Dems are like morbidly obese persons, stuffing their faces with food that they themselves have no idea how to grow and prepare. They have no life sustaining skills…none. If they are inconvenienced, they are the first to scream blue murder and demand that all be fixed because that’s what Dems do.
These parasitic elitists need to reap what they have sown in such a way that they feel every day the misery and terror they’ve inflicted on people who are losing everything, who just wanted to be left alone to work, to care and provide for their families, to enjoy the life God has given them.
The sooner this happens the better. Strategic targeting has to happen, and it has to be sustained so all their lives are continuously and completely disrupted. No one would want that intentionally, but they instigated this. They declared war and now these Dems need to reap the wages for their hubris and inhumanity. Big time.
“WEATHER”-related means NO REFUNDS….mechanical, staffing issues would result in a refund….Airlines ain’t getting caught in that trap….WILL ALWAYS be, weather-related. Caught in that trap over and over traveling for biz….Later day flight, most always cancelled, just before flight……
I see your point, but I’m referring to not only airlines. I’m speaking of the disruption of all deliveries of food etc. that make life endurable and pleasant. Business travel disrupted is an inconvenience, but everyone needs to eat and to move about unimpeded. Life in Blue cities and states needs to be made so uncomfortable that the supporters of these excrescences turn on the despots who have ruined the lives of those whom they despise. We need to have an even playing field here and then seize the advantage. This is a war being fought in an unconventional way. We need to fight it with whatever tools we have. And those tools the Dems are very short of.
PJ O’Rourke wrote a book years ago, called “Holidays in Hell”.
One chapter in particular stuck with me. It was about visiting pre apartheid South Africa. All of the white controlled areas were, essentially like the old California. All the black
neighborhoods were vast
areas of shacks.
When you went out to eat in the white areas, you were served by black residents. Most of which
gave you the most half assed service at any level they could render.
And because the whites considered them “inferiors” it took someone from the outside to realize that it was all being done on purpose. Their own little way of protesting some injustices
He wrote some good ones. I remember that book well. His finest was his first “Parliament of Whores”, which you may have read. An accurate dissection of Washington DC, which remains as true today as then, if not more so. Thank you for reminding me about him. I’m going to reread P of W. As I do every couple of years with Mark Steyn’s prescient…very prescient…2006 book America Alone.
He is a great modern day Nostradamus.
Maybe Brandon is doing all this as the pandemic wanes so he can falsely assert that his declarations led to the pandemic waning. It’s taking advantage of naturally occurring events to then take credit for the inevitable outcome. Brandon is a lifelong liar, and age has finally and fully exposed this fool for what he truly is: a stupid, stupid man. I detest him.

Corporate elites have private planes. WEF attendees have private plane. Top ranking WH admin and DS et al have private planes.
They don’t care if the airline industry is shut down. It suits their Great Resent carbon goal.
But we care. Throw sand in every venue. When ‘they’ are finally affected, maybe Kerry will fly his jet to his home in France and never return.
It’s a painful process, but we have a country to save.

bet they would care if the Air Traffic Controllers aren’t there.
bet they would care if the Airport shuts down due to staffing issues
bet they would care if there are no people to fill the tanks, de ice or perform maintenance
bet they would care if there are no pilots and crew willing to fly them
bet they would care if they found out these problems are world wide – like all the ships adrift at sea
There is no way that 80% of the US pop is VAX’D as the White House claims…. Maybe 80% out of the “Selected” people they polled are VAX’d…… As a betting man, I’d say 50% of the US pop were suckered into taking the Jab…..
Fully vaxxed right now is around 52% according to Mayo Clinic
No mandate has been published by the US government. SW does not need to require their employees to be vaccinated.
If it takes pilots, truckers and other transportation workers walking off the job to stop this, I’ll gladly deal with a little inconvenience in the mean time.
I’m in the ammo manufacturing industry and the majority of my coworkers will walk out or force the company to fire them before taking the jab. There’s lots of veterans where I work.
Who TF in the ammo industry would mandate jabs? Just so counter to the concept of freedom.
Some jackwad must have hired an MBA.
