The establishment Left is in an uproar (well, yeah, I know, that’s true on every day that ends with a Y), this time because a Southwest Airlines pilot allegedly signed off his in-flight announcements with “Let’s Go Brandon.” As it happened, Associated Press reporter Colleen Long was on the flight, and was even working on a story about the phrase, which arose from an NBC reporter’s possibly intentional mishearing of chants of “F*** Joe Biden.”
Long immediately stormed down the aisle and demanded to be let into the locked cockpit, which led, she claims , to her “almost get[ting] removed from plane.” But the pilot may be in even more trouble, as Southwest has (predictably) bowed to the outrage mob and launched an internal investigation into his wrongthink. One minor detail, however, could derail the whole high-tech lynching before it gets much farther: The pilot may not even have said “Let’s go, Brandon” at all.
Southwest, facing the potential ire of the authoritarian and intolerant Leftist media machine, on Sunday issued the usual protestations of ideological purity: Southwest does not condone Employees sharing their personal political opinions while on the job serving our Customers, and one Employee’s individual perspective should not be interpreted as the viewpoint of Southwest and its collective 54,000 Employees. Southwest is conducting an internal investigation into the recently reported event and will address the situation directly with any Employee involved while continuing to remind all Employees that public expression of personal opinions while on duty is unacceptable. Southwest does not tolerate any behavior that encourages divisiveness, as it does not reflect the Southwest Hospitality and inclusiveness for which we are known and strive to provide each day on every flight. Well, that’s just fantastic, but it’s hard to imagine that Southwest would have issued the same statement, much less initiated an investigation, if a pilot had concluded his greeting to the passengers with “Black Lives Matter.” In fact, in May 2020, a Southwest flight attendant got into a long conversation with a passenger over a book he was reading, Robin DiAngelo’s racist white-guilt propaganda tome White Fragility […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
