Skipper of the Aircraft Carrier TR relieved of command thank goodness
When the story about the Aircraft Carrier Teddy
Roosevelt first broke, I said immediately that the captain should be fired. Navy Captain Crozier obviously violated
operational security by announcing to the world trouble aboard one of our
forward deployed carries. But that aside
the whining puss begging for relief was unmanly and does not inspire confidence
in his leadership.
Compare Crozier’s whining plea for help with Chesty
Puller’s response to being surrounded at the frozen Chosin during the Korean
War. Puller quipped, “They are in front of us, behind us, and we are
flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away
from us now!” “Great. Now we can shoot at them from every direction.”
Unemployed?
Open a gun sore.
Re: Laurie Butts’ letter “Politicians are out of
touch” of Apr 2, 2020.
Reports were that Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer
had nearly reached an agreement on a Chinese Virus stimulus bill. Just as they were ready to cross the finish
line, an 80 year old millionaire with an infantile mentality, Nancy Pelosi, hopped
on her broom, escaped the feces littered streets of her home district, sped
across the country and arrived in Caligula, D.C. just in time to stall the bill
for over a week.
Pelosi insisted on filling the bill with money for
the abortion industry, a bail out for the postal service, forcing airlines into
unattainable carbon standards, forcing states into come one, come all voting
standards that actually have no standards at all, collective bargaining sops for
failing union organizers, wind and solar credits for the most expensive and
unreliable forms of energy currently available, $35 million for the Kennedy
Center, $300 million for the National Endowment of the arts, and on and on.
Hailing back to Rahm Emanuel’s advice to “Never let a
crisis go to waste” as updated by Majority Whip James Clyburn, “This is a
tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision,” in all Pelosi
shamelessly tried to cram in over a dozen totally unrelated, expensive and
partisan spending articles into a bill designed to quickly put money into
taxpayers’ pockets and assist industries ravaged by the government ordered shut
down of commerce.
One of the most out of touch things ever printed on
this page, and believe me given the lefty lean of this page, that’s saying
something, is Butts’ argument that airlines don’t need help navigating a near
government shut down of their industry because “no one is flying right
now.” That statement alone can sum up
liberals’ total lack of understanding of economics and is as clear an
indication as anything of a failing public school system.
My dear woman, where do you suppose airlines get the
money to meet payroll and make payments on their fleets of aircraft if “no one
is flying right now”?

Politicians are out of
touch
We heard how the
government was going to start sending each household money to help pay for
things that need to be taken care of. The president was waiting for the bill to
cross his desk so he could sign it. Then the bill got stuck on Mitch
McConnell's desk because it did not address big corporations' bailout money.
These corporations
don't need money. They have enough money to help us all. Besides, they already
got a huge tax break; they don't need anymore given to them. The airlines don't
need bailout money yet because no one is flying right now. The small businesses
need the money to keep their companies going when there is no money coming in
to pay the bills.
This kind of stuff
makes me so angry, and I feel helpless to do anything to change it. I hope come
November people will remember all of this and vote these problem children out
of office.
We need people who
will actually stand up for the little folks and not the big executives so we
can survive this pandemic with some sense of accomplishment and normalcy.
The few are making
decisions and choices for the rest of us but really they are just looking out for
themselves. This has to stop now!

Laurie Butts' letter presents the either/or claptrap of the left. If something is good for business then it is bad "for the people". Therefore it must be true then if it's good for people it's bad for business. Rest assured that businesses and people must both do well for each to be successful. One may take advantage of the other but not for long. A person with car payments and airlines with aircraft payments have something in common. If they don't make their payments then the banks will repossess them. Which involves "mean old banks". Another business that employs people. Businesses are often compared to a three legged stool. The three legs are customers, vendors, and employees. Take one away and the business collapses. People need healthy businesses.
