dixiegrrrrl's JournalTrump supporter banned for life from Delta flights after rant
"He will never again be allowed on a Delta plane,” reads an internal memo from Delta Air Lines CEO Edward Bastian, dated Nov. 28 and obtained by CNBC News.
Last week, a video circulated online of a man yelling at other passengers about the president-elect and Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival for the White House.
“We got some Hillary bitches on here?” the man asked in the video.
“It’s your president. Every goddam one of you. If you don’t like it, too bad."
The memo also said it is refunding the fare costs to the passengers who were on the flight.

Place your bets, folks. How long till KellyAnn is gone.
This is the issue, and we have noticed it:
Trump's top aide, Kellyanne Conway, on Monday slammed an MSNBC report that said the president-elect was "furious" over comments she made Sunday about Mitt Romney.
Conway called the reporting "sexist" and said she could have any job she wants in Trump's administration, according to MSNBC.
Top aides to Trump said they were "baffled" over Conway's comments about Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, MSNBC reported earlier Monday. A source said her comments escalated concerns that Conway is "pushing her own agenda" instead of driving Trump's message.
Incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus and incoming chief strategist Stephen Bannon are reportedly becoming frustrated with Conway for not becoming a team player.
Conway on Sunday blasted Romney, a possible pick for secretary of State, for comments he made about Trump during the presidential campaign. She also questioned whether Romney would be loyal.
"I'm all for party unity, but I'm not sure we have to pay for that with the secretary of State position," Conway said on CNN's "State of the Union."
We have all noticed her obvious ambition, and speaking for Trump, about "lists" of people against Trump, etc,
you can hear the "we" in her sentences, like the stereotypical pushy wife of a doctor or General or etc. She is becoming more Trump than Trump, and the infighting has begun already.
What say.....a month? Gone by Jan?
New Conservative Website lists college professors accused of "liberal bias" "anti-American values"
The site is Professor Watchlist, and the goal is
..
...to expose and document college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.
Help us identify, and expose more professors who have demonstrated liberal bias in the classroom
Visitors to the site are invited to out “liberal, anti-American” professors so their names can be added to the list.
The operation was founded by Charlie Kirk, who said:
"..college campuses across the country are the most treacherous terrain imaginable,
The only way we're going to take back the youth of this country is to storm them and that is how we're going to make America great again."
Be sure to see the article for background on Charlie Kirk.
These guys have had this ready to go......
Sounds like Mao's Great Leap forward
Here's a clever way Big Pharma is ripping you off.
1.
Men with prostrate cancer, and women with breast cancer, are often prescribed a med to lower certain hormones.
(estrogen for women, testosterone for men)
A side effect of the med can be hot flashes, which for some can be rather debilitating.
So, pharma created a drug treatment which they say is the only one approved by the FDA for hot flashes.
It is called Brisdelle, comes in 7.5 mg, sells as a package of 30 pills, for 240.00 cash price or so.
You can get a discount coupon online to bring the cost down to $190.87 a month.
Here's the trick: Brisdelle is the same drug as Paxil, an antidepressant.
Paxil can be bought as a 10 mg. generic, for 4.00 a month.
2.
Zyban is a pill that is marketed as a stop smoking aid.
Comes in 150 mg.
It can be bought for anywhere from 125.00 to 133.00 a month cash price, WITH a discount coupon,
I could not find the non-coupon price.
but Zyban is the same as Wellbutrin, an old anti-depressant, 150 mg. weirdly costs 1500.00 a month ( 30 tabs) and the discount price is not much lower.
BUT, you can get Zyban as a generic, Bupropion, for 64.00 a month, or coupon price of 14.00 a month.
OR
get Wellbutrin, as a generic, Bupropin again, for...4.00 a month!!! Reg. price at Wal-Mart's famous 4.00 a month formulary.
( Also Sam's Club, Costco, etc)
Now isn't that interesting....same generic drug, different generic prices, depending if the doc writes Wellbutrin or Zyban as the name brand, but you buy as generic.
Btw.....Bupropin, taken for 30 days, was very effective to help me stop smoking, back in 1998.
I am now really curious how many other drug twins are being marketed and priced differently.
For price comparison of the above, I used goodrx.com, cause I find their coupon prices to be effective.
He can't just rise a bit from low, can he? Trump's latest tweet:
Can't resist name calling. Can't resist the urge to rub someone's face in the dirt.
He seems to have 2 default settings: use people or abuse people.

Planned Parenthood has now received 50,000 donations in Mike Pences "honor"
According to a Planned Parenthood representative, the organization has received "more than 50,000 individual donations" in Pence's name alone since Nov. 8, the New York Daily News reported on Tuesday.
The trend of donating to Planned Parenthood in Pence's name — and making sure he gets a "thank you" note delivered to his office in Indiana — was spurred by celebrities who shared the idea on social media, including Bethany Cosentino of the band Best Coast
Veterans to deploy for Standing Rock
The event, Veterans Stand for Standing Rock, is a call for veterans to "assemble as a peaceful, unarmed militia" to "defend the water protectors from assault and intimidation at the hands of the militarized police force and DAPL security." The organizers hope to prevent progress on the construction of the pipeline as well as draw national attention to the cause.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and its supporters have been protesting the project for months.
The protests have been largely peaceful but turned violent on Sunday. Support has flooded in from all over the country on social media under the hashtag #NoDAPL.
In 10 days, the gofundme campaign for the veterans' event has raised $43,870 of the $100,000 goal.
The money will go toward food, transportation and supplies for the veterans who attend.
"It's time to display that honor, courage and commitment we claim to represent," the page reads. "It's time for real patriots. Now more than ever, it's time for anyone and everyone to lead."
So we can help, by donating even as little as $5.00 to the GoFundMe.......which has raised $203,023 as of now.

Want to share this heartbreaking, critically important piece on the destruction of the Middle East
Here are the first 2 introductory paragraphs, from which you can decide if this incredible long long story is worth you time.
And worth you passing on.
This is a story unlike any we have previously published. It is much longer than the typical New York Times Magazine feature story; in print, it occupies an entire issue. The product of some 18 months of reporting, it tells the story of the catastrophe that has fractured the Arab world since the invasion of Iraq 13 years ago, leading to the rise of ISIS and the global refugee crisis. The geography of this catastrophe is broad and its causes are many, but its consequences — war and uncertainty throughout the world — are familiar to us all. Scott Anderson’s story gives the reader a visceral sense of how it all unfolded, through the eyes of six characters in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Accompanying Anderson’s text are 10 portfolios by the photographer Paolo Pellegrin, drawn from his extensive travels across the region over the last 14 years, as well as a landmark virtual-reality experience that embeds the viewer with the Iraqi fighting forces during the battle to retake Falluja.
It is unprecedented for us to focus so much energy and attention on a single story, and to ask our readers to do the same. We would not do so were we not convinced that what follows is one of the most clear-eyed, powerful and human explanations of what has gone wrong in this region that you will ever read.
