[Blaze] Ann Coulter isn’t done with Delta Air Lines, despite a $30 refund credited to her after a seat mix-up on a recent flight.
Coulter on Saturday excoriated the airline for unceremoniously switching up her pre-booked "extra room" seat on the plane, which she claims cost her an additional $30, and four days later, Coulter is still managing to stir up controversy about what the conservative author and speaker now says was a nefarious plot to inconvenience her.
Tuesday saw Coulter share a text message conversation from who she claimed was a Delta flight attendant, and noted that she was moved for "political" reasons.
Coulter captioned the screenshot on Twitter with, "BEWARE OF @DELTA REPUBLICANS. Texts from a flight attendant: It was political. @Delta still won’t give a reason."
The text thread between what she alleged to be two Delta employees read:
"Someone at the desk saw Ann’s name and picked it on purpose? Is there a randomizer when it comes to these situations?"
The other purported employee answered, "No, someone noticed her, and just wanted to be a jerk amb [sic] make her life miserable."
"That’s what I figured," the first alleged employee responded.
The second added, "Yeah, I said that on several secret FB groups of [XXX Airline] employees, and when I defended her, we went back & forth, and at the end, they acknowledged that it was a Delta employee who targeted Ann on purpose."
Earlier in the day, Coulter doubled down on the previous day’s remarks and said, "After all those snarky @Delta tweets, it’s more likely they had a reason -- and it was a bad one. @Delta still not saying."
Coulter on Monday claimed that the airline took her seat without so much as an explanation.
[Daily Caller] Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is wondering what former national security adviser Susan Rice may be hiding after she postponed her testimony on the unmasking of Trump associates.
Rice was originally set to testify in front of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Tuesday.
Jordan, who is a member of that committee, said last week that he was looking forward to the testimony because "the American people want to get the truth on all these issues." (VIDEO: Rep. Jordan: Susan Rice Testimony Is An Opportunity To Get The Truth)
After learning of the hearing being postponed, Jordan told The Daily Caller, "It is important that Susan Rice testify before Congress without any further delay."
"I’m beginning to wonder if she has something to hide," he said. Listen for the song... "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)"

[Toenhall] My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are "beneath the dignity of the office." Here’s my answer:
We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized "collegiality" as John McCain? We tried propriety ‐ has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? And the results were always the same.
This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don’t find anything "dignified," "collegial" or "proper" about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything "dignified" in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything "statesman-like" in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was "articulate" and "polished" but in no way was he in the least bit "dignified," "collegial" or "proper." Continues.

The wars between Trump, the media, the deep state, and the progressive party -- replete with charges and counter-charges of scandal, collusion, and corruption -- are merely symptoms of a much larger fundamental and growing divide between Americans that is reaching a dangerous climax.
On four prior occasions in American history the country nearly split apart, as seemingly irreconcilable cultural, economic, political, social, geographical, and demographic fault lines opened a path to hatred and violence.
During the Jacksonian Revolution of the 1830s, factions nearly ripped the country apart over whether the East Coast Founders’ establishment of a half-century would relinquish its monopoly of political power to reflect the new demographic realties of an expanding frontier -- and its populist champions often deemed unfit for self-governance. For the most part, the Jacksonians won.
Three decades later the nation divided over slavery, prompting the most lethal war in American history to end it and force the defeated Confederate southern states back into the Union.
The Great Depression, and the establishment’s inept responses to it, left a quarter of the country unemployed for nearly a decade -- hungry and desperate to expand government even if it entailed curtailing liberty in a way never envisioned by the Founders. The result was eventually the redefinition of freedom as the right of the individual to have his daily needs guaranteed by the state.
In the 1960s, the hippie movement -- fueled by furor over the Vietnam War, civil-rights protests, and environmental activism -- turned holistic in a fashion rarely seen before. A quarter of the country went "hip," grooming, dressing, talking, and acting in a way that reflected their disdain for the silent majority of "straight" or "irrelevant" traditional America. The hipsters lost the battle (most eventually cut their hair and outgrew their paisley tops to join the rat race) but won the war -- as the universities, media, foundations, Hollywood, arts, and entertainment now echo the values of 1969 rather than those that preceded it.
Now we are engaged in yet a fifth revolutionary divide, similar to, but often unlike, prior upheavals. The consequences of globalization, the growth of the deep state, changing demographics, open borders, the rise of a geographic apartheid between blue and red states, and the institutionalization of a permanent coastal political and culture elite -- and the reaction to all that -- are tearing apart the country.
Despite its 21st-century veneer, the nature of the divide is often over ancient questions of politics and society.
[PJ] On Sunday, the Women's March Twitter account wished a happy birthday to the number one "most wanted terrorist" on the FBI's list, a cop killer who escaped from a life sentence for first-degree murder. The Twitter account later defended this action, saying that although the terrorist "took a militant approach," they can still "appreciate her work."
"Happy birthday to the revolutionary #AssataShakur! Today's #SignOfResistance, in Assata's honor, is by @MeloniousFunk," the account tweeted on Sunday.
"Mama Assata Shakur" is the alias for one Joanne Deborah Chesimard, who ranks number one on the FBI's list of "most wanted terrorists." The agency is still offering $1 million as a reward for information which results in her capture.
A member of the revolutionary extremist Black Liberation Army, Chesimard and her accomplices shot one policeman and executed another at point-blank range in 1973. Before this, she was wanted for several felonies, including bank robbery. While serving a life sentence for first-degree murder, she escaped from prison in 1979. She remains at large in Cuba.
Even a sympathetic profile from Britain's The Guardian newspaper noted that the terrorist, while celebrated among some in the hip-hop community, was part of an organization that took part "in at least 38 criminal incidents."
"You have to look at the history of the BLA," FBI special agent Barbara Woodruff told The Guardian. "Even though she was convicted of one murder, [Chesimard] was part of an organization which, from the 1970s to 1984, were involved in at least 38 criminal incidents, including armed assaults, assassinations, bombings, hijackings -- of those 38, 18 were against law enforcement officers."
No less a figure than CNN host Jake Tapper castigated the Women's March for wishing Chesimard a happy birthday.
"Shakur is a cop-killer fugitive in Cuba," Tapper tweeted. "This, ugly sentiments from [Linda Sarsour] & [the Chicago Dyke March] ...Any progressives out there condemning this?"
[Breitbart] There is no justification for importing more low-skilled foreign laborers, a new study shows, despite efforts by the Republican establishment to do just that.
Every year, 66,000 foreign guest workers are brought to the United States on the H-2B to take seasonal jobs in blue-collar industries. Due to pressure from the big business lobby and the Republican establishment, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly has increased the cap by another 15,000 foreign guest workers.
A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), one of the few organizations that compiles data on the H-2B visa and its impact on American wages and unemployment, found that there were 136,000 H-2B foreign workers in the U.S. in Fiscal Year 2016, noting that an increase is not necessary:

...ah, with the Coasties in Cali killing agriculture in the backlands, better to move the planting to where the workers are. That way they can stay and not draw upon the diminishing resources in LALA land.

Repeal minimum wage laws, stop subsidizing slums in our inner cities, stop feeding the homeless. When our own people get hungry enough they'll work.

There never was a reason to import them in the first place. Raise the wage and the job will magically be filled. If people stop buying the product, it dies on the vine as it should.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
