A mom has claimed she was booted off a United Airlines flight with her distressed 16-month-old son over using the wrong pronoun for a flight attendant. Jenna Longoria was expecting to fly to Austin from San Francisco on Wednesday with her mom and son when United stopped them from traveling. She alleges she was denied boarding after an 'accidental' mix-up when addressing a United staff member, who she says refused to accept her apology. The frantic mom also alleged the flight had taken off with her luggage containing her and her mom's medication still on board, leaving at risk of becoming 'very sick' while stranded.

This is very similar to blacks beating up whites saying the were called the N word. No one else hears it but we’re supposed to take their word for it. Everyone acts so tough but they’re so very fragile.

While I find all this pronoun nonsense just that (you do not get to choose your own pronouns, grammatically pronouns are always used by other in reference to you so they get to choose depending on how they perceive your sex), I also note the article said "In another clip, the desperate mom is seen pleading with her 20,000 Instagram followers for advice on what her rights are." Okay. I have to ask is there more to this as she seems to see herself as an influencer? I can't stand most influencers. If she was running her mouth off or being a difficult passenger that possibly was delaying the flight or putting others in jeopardy, she deserved this. I am getting tired people who assume they can inconvenience a whole planeload of people for their own personal problems.

If true, United might have new ownership soon. Maybe there is more to this. There usually is but if this woman was actually booted because of some innocuous misuse of pronouns then United won't only just get sued, they will get the Bud Light treatment. Isn't United the airline who said they were going all in on hiring minorities (blacks) as pilots and crew. I don't like flying much anymore because of the hassle and this will tell me what airline to never use when I do. I don't care what color the captain is, I just want him (yes, him, I want a male pilot) hired for competence, not skin color.

It appears that United is a DEI mess, and deserves a stupendous law suit for poor business conduct by its employees. The motto should now be Fly DisUnited. Avoid United if you can.

If the goal is to get me to limit my choice to fly, mission accomplished. I have to go about once a year across the country. My most recent trip was on Delta and we had a delightful stewardess. She had an unruly passenger and he got a talking to by the pilot and the Delta bouncer. He settled himself down.

I can see times where using a person's preferred pronoun is the polite thing to do, but it should never be mandated by any policy or person. Compelled speech is unconstitutional.

United has a minor problem with their flight attendants, it's the pilots that worry me. That is a major problem and DEI is no way to hire pilots.

That was BRU-TAL.

Trump made several great points about the border crisis throughout the debate, peppering the issue into answers he gave on other issues, like on jobs and Social Security. In a failed attempt to push back, Biden declared that the border patrol "endorsed" him. Watch: [Tweet, video] In response, the Border Patrol Union fact-checked Biden immediately,

CNN’s presidential debate rules are set for Thursday night as President Joe Biden looks to eviscerate his opponent by potentially raising debunked hoaxes. CNN opposes debate moderators live fact-checking Biden during the high-stakes event, network political director David Chalian announced this week. Neither are the moderators permitted to fact-check Trump, Chalian said, although they can correct an “egregious” misstatement “that needs to be checked or the record needs to be made clear.” Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, two extreme Trump critics, are the moderators. It will be up to them to referee the contentious and potentially highest-watched debate in history. Critics question whether Tapper and Bash can host an unbiased and fair debate.

According to police, on the afternoon of June 26, Argueta walked into the Chick-fil-A and shot two people in a planned attack. Argueta’s wife is an employee at the Chick-fil-A, police said, and witnessed the double murder.

It’s not just ‘the Charlottesville lie,’ it’s his ongoing compulsion to tie DJT to Hitler It’s been perhaps the most damning and most repeated allegation President Joe Biden has made regarding his predecessor, President Donald Trump – that Trump is a Nazi, or approves of Nazis. Biden made the charge when he first accepted the nomination to be the Democrats’ presidential candidate in 2020. In fact, according to the Washington Post in “For Joe Biden, Charlottesville defines the Trump presidency,”Biden claimed it was his very reason for running for president. He repeated it in his inauguration speech. And he has probably repeated it more often than any other accusation toward Trump.

This should be roundly entertaining.

Thursday morning, Trump’s team launched factcheckbiden.com to give real time updates and fact checks if Biden is caught lying.

The first and perhaps only presidential debate between presumed nominees Donald Trump and Joe Biden takes place on June 27 in CNN’s Atlanta headquarters. Home court advantage goes to President Biden. Is there anyone at CNN, aside from the janitors and cleaning crew, that support Trump? Doubtful. The debate will be moderated by the Trump hating undynamic duo of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. CNN will mute the microphones, to keep Trump from objecting to Biden’s fabrications, and likely to silence Biden’s gibberish, something occurring with increasing frequency.
