Trump
is Uber
Uber
and Lyft represent freedom, capitalism, competition and the efficiency and
quality of the private sector vs. government.
I’m a business traveler. I’m away on business 25 or more times a year.
That’s at least 50 taxi rides to and from airports to my hotel. Plus another
100-plus taxi rides from my hotel to business meetings or conventions where I’m
giving a speech. That’s means I’ve taken 150 or more taxi rides a year for the
past 25 years. No more. I haven’t even gotten into a taxi once in the past
three years. I’ve replaced all those taxi rides with Uber. Taxis are as obsolete
as dinosaurs. This is the same reason so many people voted for Donald Trump...
because Trump is the Uber of politics. He represents freedom and competition
and the marvelous quality and efficiency of the private sector. [more...]
Alaska
Closes Acquisition of Virgin in Critical Time for Airlines
Last
week, Alaska Air Group finalized its $4 billion acquisition of Virgin America.
The merger brings together two beloved airlines which in some ways are similar
and other ways very different. Both carriers have loyal customer bases and
award-winning resumes. Alaska has always emphasized its customer service and
performance and has been awarded “Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among
Traditional Carriers in North America” by J.D. Power, nine years in a row.
Virgin America is revered by travelers for its innovative and high quality
in-flight experience, and has been named top airline in the country in Conde
Nast’s reader’s choice awards. The merged airline is surely positioned to
compete with the traditional “Big 4” U.S. airlines. [more...]
Facebook’s
Phony War on Fake News
By
James
Hirsen
Having
apparently succumbed to the political pressure being imposed by the left and
its media allies, in what appears to be an effort to address the issue of
fraudulent posts, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and chairman of Facebook, has
announced that the social media site will be outsourcing decisions regarding the
truth or falsity of posts to fact-checking organizations. However, content
interference, under the guise of oversight by a dubious fact-checking
organization, is anything but fact-oriented. Rather, it is an insidious part of
a more serious problem that continues to plague the once noble profession of
journalism. Facebook users should take no comfort in the fact-checkers' signing
of a code of ethics. Poynter’s International Fact-Checking Network, the source
of the ethical principles to which the fact checkers are to adhere, is, in
part, funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. [more...]
I
Don’t Celebrate Holiday, I Celebrate Christmas
By
Joe
Messina
First
of all, let me start by saying, MERRY CHRISTMAS. When you say what difference
does it make to say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas,” to a
Christian it should be a big deal. Whether you say it or not, it doesn’t change
Christmas, because it’s still about Christ, BUT you take something away from
us. It’s Christmas. Without the birth of Christ, it’s just another holiday,
gift exchange day, tree day, tinsel day, elf day, fat man in a red suit day...
it’s just another day. I’ve got enough “other days” - I want Christmas. [more...]
Muslim
Terror for Christmas
On
the 5th of December, a 12-year-old Iraqi boy planted a nail bomb in a Christmas
market in Ludwigshafen. The Muslim boy left the nail bomb in a marketplace
filled with jolly plastic Santas bearing knapsacks of presents and booths of
chocolates built like cottages covered with twinkling lights. Inside was his
Christmas present to the little boys and girls of this German city - a glass
jar filled with powder and surrounded by nails. Islamic terror had come like a
bitterly cold wind from Iraq to Ludwigshafen.
Now
a truck smashed into the Christmas market near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial
Church crushing shoppers into a stand selling mulled wine. Visitors to the
nearby Berlin Zoo picking out Christmas gifts or treating themselves to hot
chocolate fled from the murderous carnage. Red fluid flowed through the market
and the terrified crowds could not tell whether it was spilled wine or the
blood of the dead. This latest Muslim Christmas present took the lives of
twelve men and women who might have otherwise picked up some eggnog or a
stuffed reindeer. It injured dozens more who went from munching waffles one
moment to watching a truck barrel at them through the Christmas market in
another. The Muslim killer was a
23-year-old Pakistani refugee with a criminal record. He repaid the generosity
of Europe’s open borders by smearing the blood of its people across a Christmas
market. [more...]
