This is another reason to hate airlines and lawyers.

People are suing because they've PAID extra for a window seat on United Airlines flights, only to be seated next to the wall of the fuselage with no windows near them.

United's lawyers, in an attempt to have one lawsuit dismissed, argued that the term "Window Seat" describes the seat's location in the cabin, but not the existence of an actual window next to it.  So, when seats are sold and booked as aisle, center or window, passengers are choosing where it is located in relation to the other seats. 

According to the airline, "the use of the word "window" in reference to a particular seat cannot reasonably be interpreted as a promise that the seat will have an exterior window view."

The lawyers have decided to change the meanings of 2 English words in common use:  Reasonably and window.

Anyway, the podcast host & lawyer in the video said he personally paid extra for an exit row seat to have more leg room, but the seat he was assigned wasn't in an exit row.  He wound up having to sit in a crowded cabin, then go through the trouble of contacting the airline for a refund of the amount he'd paid for an exit row seat.

Anyway, just because you think you know what you're buying doesn't mean you do.

Nancy FINALLY announcing her intention to not seek reelection. 

I guess her 40 years in Congress was enough, now that she's (jointly) worth $230,000,000.00 -- estimated.

This has to be one of the craziest things ever.

The 2025 Word of the Year is ............ a number ..... which is "67."

And what's worse, it has no meaning!

Quote
The Word of the Year for 2025 is "67," which is described as a nonsensical
and playful term that reflects social trends and has gained popularity among
younger generations. It is often used to convey a feeling or response
without a specific meaning, embodying the absurdity of modern slang.

I guess "67" is this era's "Wassuuuuuuuupp?!"   :shake: :rofl: :crazy:

Very fitting day for this.

Robert Englund, best known for Freddy Krueger role,
honored with Hollywood star

Quote
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" star, Robert Englund, was honored
with his Hollywood star, appropriately on this Halloween Friday.

The 78-year-old theatrically trained actor may be best known for
his menacing portrayal of Freddy Krueger, but he has also appeared
in over 80 films, multiple television series, and countless guest star
roles.

"I love the smell of peanut butter cups in the morning, Happy
Halloween," Englund said to the crowd gathered at the Hollywood
Walk of Fame ceremony.

There are approximately 42M people on SNAP EBT (Food Stamps).  Due to the government shutdown, the federal funding for the USDA program may not issue benefits beginning this Saturday, Nov 1.

Hawaii is putting out information that they may assist SNAP beneficiaries who support a minor child or children in the event of federal funding being suspended.

https://humanservices.hawaii.gov/hawai%CA%BBi-dhs-provides-guidance-and-support-for-households-affected-by-federal-shutdown-suspension-of-snap-benefits/

It's not that program beneficiaries can't use EBT after Nov 1.  If they still have benefits available on their EBT card before the cut-off, they can still use those funds.  So, the sudden impact of the cut-off might be less severe than all 42M recipients all at once.

Quote
FNS confirmed that households may continue redeeming
EBT benefits issued before Nov. 1 at any SNAP-authorized
retailer. The suspension affects November issuance only and
does not impact the ability to use previously loaded benefits.

Liberals claim Trump is trying to change the outcome of the midterm elections by sending DOJ observers to blue districts, in effect rigging the elections.

 :rofl:   :crazy:   :wacko:

Ensuring fair and honest election processes is now "rigging elections."  You couldn't make this stuff up, yet here it is.

Interesting video on the "other side's" perspective, and on what can happen when cutting through all the political and propaganda BS.

So, this man in Maine was the front-runner for the state's nominee for the upcoming US Senate race.  Photos of a Nazi tattoo on his chest are now going viral.



In this article, CBS said:
Quote
It happened during a night of drinking while he was on leave in Croatia,
he said, adding he was unaware until recently that the image has been
associated with Nazi police.

They are gaslighting us by choosing one use of the emblem and ignoring its more significant meaning.  Liberals all over social media are defending him -- a man with a Nazi tattoo symbolizing the Holocaust who also admits to being a Communist.  More evidence they are insane. 

The tattoo is the second version of the SS-Totenkopf:




SS-Totenkopfverbände ('Death's Head Units') was the Schutzstaffel (SS) organization
responsible for administering the Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps
for Nazi Germany, among similar duties.

The emblem was used in other SS and Panzer tank units, but it's most often associated with extermination camps.

The emblem is also used by today's neo-Nazis like the Skinheads:

In Palm Beach, FL, the Secret Service discovered an elevated tree stand with a clear view of where President Trump routinely exits Air Force One.


This is not a hunting area, unless you're hunting 2-legged animals.

He's been on camera when he went into a possible fugue state or suffered a mini stroke in the middle of speaking.

Now this happened:

At what point do we recognize that we need to limit these positions in government so (1) they aren't spending decades mostly campaigning for reelection, and (2) to prevent those with obvious mental and physical decline from remaining in office when younger, more capable reps and senators can replace them.

Only SCOTUS has lifetime appointments.  Congress, as with diapers, need changing frequently -- and for the same reason.

Liberals' heads are exploding!

Dominion Voting Systems sold to company
run by former Republican election official

Quote
Dominion Voting Systems -- the voting machine company at the center
of false 2020 election fraud conspiracy theories -- has been sold to a
seemingly new election company run by a former Republican election
official, according to a person familiar with the sale.

The wife of the Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, uploaded a video complaining how truckers use the state's rest stops to get some rest.

Meanwhile, the homeless are not allowed to set up tents and live there.

Opinions? 

If you've never lived on the mainland nor taken interstate highways on long trips, you might not have enough firsthand knowledge of rest stops.  Some states call them welcome centers at their borders or convenience centers.

In some areas, I felt apprehensive about going inside a rest stop when there were only one or two cars in the parking lot.  When I saw several big rigs, however, I felt safer.  Most of them are packing heat to protect themselves, and they have radios and work phones that can get through to help if needed.

Rest stops are usually busy during the daytime and some also at night.  A homeless camp would be problematic for the state.  Vehicle break-ins, drugs, panhandling and people living in restroom facilities would be a burden on travelers and the state.  Restrooms would be no different than the park restrooms here -- filthy, broken and always out of supplies.

Liberal have all the answers -- the WRONG answers!

Trump Supporters ARE TERRORISTS
Says Jimmy Kimmel,
DEFENDS Antifa And LIES

Quote
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has labelled MAGA supporters as
"domestic terrorists" while defending Antifa.

Kimmel's comments come after the Trump administration recently
signed Antifa as a terrorist organization.

The comedian goes on to say there is "no chaos" in cities like Portland,
Chicago and Los Angeles, where Trump wants to crack down on crime.

Kimmel then accuses the president of using fake chaos as a "pretence"
for a "military takeover".
........
Kimmel, while congratulating Trump for the historic peace deal and the
return of the remaining living Israeli hostages, couldn't help but insult the
president.

Liar! Liar! is not just a movie. 

It's an Internet problem when liars get their narrative heard before any facts can be shared.

The SCOTUS is in the middle of a case that in all likelihood will reduce the number of democrat-controlled seats in the House by as many as 16 seats.

Quote
The U.S. Supreme Court, hearing arguments Wednesday over
a core provision of the Voting Rights Act, appeared inclined to
limit the use of the landmark law to force states to draw electoral
districts favorable to minority voters. The court is expected to rule
by June, though the justices can issue rulings whenever they’re
complete.

The court’s six conservative justices seemed like they would vote
to effectively strike down a Black majority House district in Louisiana
because it relied too heavily on race, as lawyers for Louisiana and
the Trump administration tried to persuade the court to wipe the
district away.

A ruling for Louisiana could open the door for legislatures to redraw
congressional maps across the South, potentially boosting
Republican electoral prospects by eliminating majority Black and
Latino districts that tend to favor Democrats.

It would also make it much harder, if not impossible, to take
account of race in redistricting.

Another example of the crazy antics from a Trump hater who attacked a man wearing a MAGA hat.

It's not a crime.  It's a misdemeanor.   :rofl:

This is the person who campaigned for AG on one promise:  To go after Donald Trump.

Now the Left is crying, "Trump is weaponizing government!"   :rofl:

New York Attorney General Letitia James charged
in fraud case after pressure campaign by Trump

Quote
WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted
Thursday on mortgage fraud charges in a case that President Donald Trump
urged his Justice Department to bring after he vowed retribution on his biggest
political enemies.

James, a Democrat who infuriated Trump after his first term with a lawsuit
alleging that he built his business empire on lies about his wealth, was charged
with bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution in connection
with a home purchase in Norfolk, Virginia, in 2020.

The top federal prosecutor for eastern Virginia, a former Trump aide, personally
presented the case to the grand jury weeks after she was thrust into the role amid
the administration’s pressure to deliver charges.

The indictment, two weeks after a separate criminal case charging former FBI
Director James Comey with lying to Congress, is the latest indication of the Trump
administration’s norm-busting determination to use the law enforcement powers of
the Justice Department to pursue the president’s political foes and public figures
who once investigated him.
