Ya Try To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint...

Ivanka Trump and family tried to take a commercial flight from NYC to Palm Springs, but unfortunately, other New Yorkers were involved. From the NY Daily News:

JetBlue passenger criticizes Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, gets booted from flight: 'Your father is ruining the country'

A Hunter College professor learned a hard lesson after his husband blasted first daughter Ivanka Trump aboard an airplane at JFK Airport.

Matt Lasner and his spouse Dan Goldstein were bounced from the Thursday morning Jet Blue plane to Hawaii after the pre-takeoff confrontation.

“Oh my God, this is a nightmare,” a witness quoted Goldstein as saying after spying Ivanka. “They ruin the country and now they ruin our flight.”

According to TMZ.com, Goldstein upped the ante by screaming, “Your father is ruining the country. Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private.”

Witness Marc Scheff said Ivanka never lost her cool during the uncomfortable confrontation.

“I overheard Ivanka say to (plane staff) ‘I don’t want to make this a thing,’” Scheff wrote on Facebook. “My assessment is she was happy to let the man take his seat.

“She handled the situation calmly and with class. Security made the call to dismiss the man. And for good reason.”

Hey, a source! Witness Marc Scheff posted his account on Instagram:

Unusually non art post but this is too surreal.

My son and I made the news today. That's us in the photo. I am sitting in the next row up from Ivanka and surrounded by her extended family, lots of Kushners. A man got ejected and the news is making it sound like the guy was hulking Out. The whole incident happened literally 15 inches from me. The article is sensationalizing this a little. Here is what happened.

He didn't accost her directly. When he got on and saw her, sitting behind me, he said "oh my god. This is a nightmare" and was visibly shaking. He said "they ruin the country now they ruin our flight!" (Context: Boarding and therefore the flight was delayed because they needed to get on first through some other way).

He did not yell. He was also not what I would describe as calm. Agitated maybe. His husband behind him was very calm. His son is adorable and sharply dressed. [Mr. Scheff's son isn't taking a backseat in the "adorable" category either, although sharply dressed ? More 'travelin' cool'.]

When the JetBlue staff went back to speak to the man I overheard Ivanka say to them "I don't want to make this a thing." My assessment is that she was happy to let the man take his seat. Security made a different call.

And for good reason. The man's calm husband had tweeted earlier that his husband was "chasing them down to harass them." I did not witness his actual removal some rows back. If he screamed, I didn't hear it.

My politics aside... Honestly, if I was her security I would have made the same call. I don't _think_ the man was capable of violence, sure. But I would worry that he would leave his seat or cause a scene in some way. And his husband had tweeted that he planned on doing that. So, again you know my politics, but I would have made the same call here.

Interesting. As are the comments at progressive redoubt Talking Points Memo. Some conspiracy theorists see crafty news management by the Evil Trumpsters (Ivanka in coach - such a woman of the people!) but, for a bit of Holiday cheer, there seems to be a large faction denouncing this as deplorable manners. Dare we say there is a bipartisan consensus against screaming at moms in front of their kids? Nearly!

[matt, deplore me if you must]

first!

[Dave (in MA)]

Sat down for lunch with my brother on 11-9 and he said, half kidding (but only half) "you people are ruining the country". LIV with a PHD.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I denounce all shouting at moms with their kids, whether it is Ivanka Trump or Chelsea Clinton (who is an actual criinal due to diverting charity funds for her wedding).

We need a lot more class and civilized behavior in this country.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Dave (in MA),

I am sure we are ruining the counry aka the gravy train for prog hangers on.

Sucks to be them, but elections have consequences.

[henry - drunk on prog tears]

Virtue signaling his way to a Darwin Award. Attacking people for merely existing is not a recipe for virtue points -- even if you forced a Christian baker to make you same sex wedding cake. Any human (regardless of race, gender, creed) would be justified curb stomping such a douche.

[clarice]

This guy-Lesner and his husband Goldsmith are two losers. One in academic (Lesner, Hunter College), the other apparently on the govt payroll, both living in public housing. Geniuses at large.

NYT has more crap about another fashionista on Melania..Talley is nice about her but repeats B.S> about Trump.
Save your daughters, rip up fashion magazines and newspaper style sections.

[Beasts of England]

Drama Queen for the win?

[buccaneer morgan]

Release the hounds, seriously, if they really feared the reign of terror: they would dare to this. Btw hunter college might get a little shave, nudge nudge.

[matt, deplore me if you must]

di Blasio/Villaraigosa 2020!

"Daddy, why did we just get thrown off the plane to Hawaii?" What a great way to start Kwanzaa.....

[henry - drunk on prog tears]

Lol Matt, hubby & hubby can explain to their kid why it was a good thing their white priviledge got stomped on Kwanzaa.

[buccaneer morgan]

Ot, volodya seems to getting behind general after who wears a Jayne hat to show how thought he is.

[buccaneer morgan]

Its a Bloomberg piece, is asisi can tame Egypt.

[Comanche Voter]

I don't know what college professors and lawyers (the professions of the not so happy couple) are coming to these days. The two of them sound like they are a couple of quarts low on street smarts.

Trump may or may not have "ruined their country" but it's for danged sure that "ruining their flight" is solely on these two drama divas. If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime. I won't call them drama queens---not wanting to be declared homophobic after all.

[Buckeye]

Beasts, did you fly the drone today?

[Beasts of England]

Dang it, Buckeye - you're not supposed to ask!

And the rumors of it being stuck thirty feet up in a cedar tree are unconfirmed... :)

[Buckeye]

I warned you Beasts:)

You're going to have to hire the most nimble 12 year old in the neighborhood to get it back.

[Buckeye]

I got in serious trouble with Mrs. Buckeye first time I flew mine in the backyard.

She wasn't at all pleased with the havoc the rotors were bringing to her flower gardens.

[buccaneer morgan]

Sort of like rogue one on edo which looks more mordor than anything else.

[Beasts of England]

I had messed with the yaw trim before doing some altitude runs, and a gust came off the lake and I tried hard port - which was now starboard - and it got tangled up. It's supposed to be windy tomorrow, but if that doesn't dislodge it, I may try the hose...

I'm sure she was worried about her flowers, Buckeye!! I flipped mine earlier today and it makes a fine weed whacker. :)

[Beasts of England]

What make / model is yours, Buckeye?

[buccaneer morgan]

This a foolhardy move of legendary proportion, you really want to tick off the presidents most trusted advisor, and incur his wrath.

[Buckeye]

I started vacation today until the New Year.

At 11:00 I got an email from a purchasing agent with one of our bigger clients that had a very large order attached.

Sent a note to our CEO saying that I thought the solution to him making his numbers was for me to take vacation every other week.

He replied, "I thought you already were" :)

[buccaneer morgan]

So Sean spicer, sort of an underwhelming choice in my view, your mileage may vary.

[Buckeye]

Beast

Mine is a ProtoZ. Mrs. Buckeye was at a discount store and saw a stack of them, normally $50 marked down to $10.

It is obviously a toy and has no camera, but actually flies pretty well in no wind situations.

About the size of my hand.

Package is marked for ages 8+, so Mrs. Buckeye figured it was about my "speed" :)

[Buckeye]

It is an Estes product, same guys that made the model rockets we played with when we were kids.

[Another Bob]

Agree buc. I think Spicer was a Priebus pick?

Damn shame Conway had principles. She'd have been great.

[Jim Eagle]

bucc,

Inside Baseball pick. When you are dealing with the swamp, you need a good guide to the various dwellers and native life.

[Buckeye]

Narciso,

Mrs. Buckeye is already complaining about Spicer's voice. Says she can't imagine listening to him for the next 4 years.

I told her not to worry, if Trump is even slightly successful, the media won't cover his pressers.

[Stephanie despicable me]

WTF are a couple of trashy academes and lawyers who are on the public dole doing boarding a plane to

HAWAII?
Most Americans can't afford a trip to Hawaii much less the plane tix and these two yaboobs just purchase some tickets and sashay off to a Christmas vacay for the most EXPENSIVE week of the year to stay in a hotel room in Hawaii and live large on the public's largess. Doubt they are dining at McDs while they are there, either.

How fn bad a lawyer do you have to be to be on the public dole anyway? And I guess the prof ain't commanding Faux Warren rates to teach his class(es) either. Losers the lot of em. Both as democrats for not really scamming the system and as human beings for being such drama queen cum drama trash.

Good God.

[Another Bob]

Jib, I'm interested to see what Priebus' "shakeup" for the press corpse means.

[Stephanie despicable me]

Does no one want to do a bowl madness this year?

In that job, you need to be handle a iris knife in either hand, and carry another on a leg holster.

[Dave (in MA)]

Beasts,

I recall when my glider got stuck in a tree, my brother and I thought a brick was the best way to get it down.

It only took 3 or 4 tries for us to hit the roof of the car.

[Proton🚀☄]

Stalkers with the kids learning graduating from internet stalker, trolls, to live, physical stalking and confronting. Harm doers. Trespass.

[Jim Eagle]

Another Bob,

All the rearrangement of the chairs and hierarchical priority to the WH Press corp was done by the seasoned political types who became POTUS. Trump is not one of those.

He doesn't look at the press or media in general as someone he has to play nice with for blue ribbon coverage. He is his own PR man. As so, they are going to realize they are not as relevant or important to this guy as they pretended they were to the others before him.

IMHO, its his strength and I see him doing more rallies, tweets and general interfacing with the public and his constituent support groups in Middle America.

[Free James D!]

Well, the Giants are reverting to form against the loathsome Eagles.

[buccaneer morgan]

The huntress had two reporters walshe and conroy that questioned her kids during the campaign. There was a nazgul who haunted her youngest daughter lemonade stand

[daddy]

Yesterday, after thinking about all the fake "Right Wing" Hate crimes that are being fraudulently perpetrated by the Left (i.e.) fake attacks against Muslims, fake burnings of Black Churches, fake drawings of Swastikas, fake Gay muggings, etc, I got to wondering what are the equivalent hate crimes for Left Wingers?

I came up with Hating Christians and Christianity in almost any form, but then I had to go to work and forgot about the topic.

Waking up to this episode of Gay Intelligentsia publicly badgering a mother and her children because they hysterically hate her father fits the bill perfectly.

So we know that if we were on the Left and wanted to perpetrate a fake Hate crime to smear the Right, we'd burn a Black Church, spray paint a Swastika somewhere, or pretend we heard White guys in a pick-up hollering the "N" word, and the old standard---accuse some White College Frat boy/boys of rape.

But if we were on the Right, and wanted to do the equivalent fake Lefty Hate crime to smear the Left, I'm having a lot harder time coming up with what we'd do. Dress up in pink and then scream at Christian mothers and their children?

L'il help.

[buccaneer morgan]

Those two acts, lattieri and the duo were a breath of fresh air, buckeye.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Watched a couple of Sean Spicer's video appearances this afternoon. I think he is a good pick because he has learned the "don't bakc down" skill from Trump.

In my opinion the press secretary position needs to be a male for this administration. Conway is very good in one on one interviews, but when it comes to the press gaggle going after the administration, a male is better for push back.

Just my opinion.

[Janet]

That is the deal, daddy.
There is no unacceptable hate for the Deplorables.
The left wins awards for hate speech & hateful acts toward Republicans, conservatives, deplorables, Bible believing Christians & Jews, pro-lifers, gun owners, ...

[Beasts of England]

That's hilarious, Dave!!

ChiTown lurker suggested a fishing rig. What could go wrong? :)

I just can't keep up with my granddaughter keeping me occupied constantly. That's not a complaint, I'm enjoying every second of it. God I love that child! Anyway, I may not get another chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas so Merry Christmas all.

Should you have an hour to kill this Christmas season, please watch this documentary called the Star of Bethlehem. I had to watch it twice when I first viewed it. With today's technology, we can see exactly what the Magi saw in the sky over Bethlehem. I think you'll be amazed.

Lol, he's embarrassing the good people of southie. See a shock collar would do no good with him.

No way I'm betting with Casino Stephanie.

[Jim Eagle]

Thanks for the offer, Stephanie but Frederick and I are in our annual club bowlpallooza. We do only the 31 more important games.

You know, like the Idaho Favorite Potato Bowl.

It's a $10K payout.

[daddy]

Lasner posted a photo of a college student wearing an old Reagan / Bush shirt and wrote: 'Seeing this walking out of @packercollegiate this morning made seriously ill. It's disgusting that teenagers might find this amusing. As far as I'm concerned it's hate speech'

[Stephanie despicable me]

Awesome Buckeye.

I'll get the spreadsheet out and dust it off and post it once I pitch the tourney for a few days.

Casino Stephanie has a piss poor record at the casinos this year, Clarice. Now is your chance!! I haven't hit a decent spin over $300 since August 2015. Here's to hoping 2017 will be much better. I can't wait for the hubs to see the 1099 showing gambling losses. I might need a room and board...

[Stephanie despicable me]

Oh, come on Jack, it's only 12 bowl games and a championship game. You can play in two at once.

[Pro☢ton ☣]

Ever notice when you stare through other people's heads to gamble or whatever that your only allowed on earth? Like there is life out there you could use; and you never dream, see with eyes closed, space aliens stuff in all that seeing debris from others? Must be some kind of deal. Devil. Details.⚗

[Dave (in MA)]

"Southie", lol. Man of the people lives in Lincoln, own of the tonier MA towns, or at least he did when he was at the Globe.

[daddy]

Lasner also retweeted a man who wrote on Twitter: 'Dear @IvankaTrump + @JaredKushner, there are swastikas being painted across America by people who support your father. PLEASE SAY SOMETHING.'

I'm sure we'll get Lasner's posts soon about burning down black churches, gay muggings, and Islam hating.

daddy,

I wonder what their reaction would be if a bunch of Kansians or Hoosiers suddendly showed up in the West Village wearing red MAGA baseball caps and singing Joy to the World?

Probably need that surgeon from Mt. Sinai who specializes in cranium replacement surgery.

[Stephanie despicable me]

Puppy update...

took Trumpster outside yesterday and actually put him down to explore. I've been taking him out and holding him while the others did their business, but I wasn't willing to let him get too close to his daddy as Bijou was still growling at him if he got too close. So yesterday, I put him down and he shakes and is obviously overwhelmed for a about two minutes. Then the breeze blew and a few leaves decided to tempt him. Yep. Wiggle wiggle jump just like a cat and he was off chasing the leaves. He caught one and was oh so proud when he brought it back to me. Then he started play jumping at his daddy and daddy was backing away terrified of Bijou's reaction, but she ignored the whole thing. So second trip out and the two are now playing like besties and chasing each other.

This morning, Trumpster watched his daddy hike on a bush to pee and then went over and tried to do the same in the same spot and went ass over teakettle as he hiked a bit too far. At least he didn't fall into the pee spot but away from it. Cutest thing EVAR!!!

Now Trumpster is sound asleep as he is worn out. A good day.

[Jim Eagle]

Rocco,

Saw that lecture on the star last year. Very well done and I haven't seen any opposing views or anti-Christ outbursts. Not to say there aren't.

BTW, the Pentontix's latest Christmas album is a real winner. Even includes Manhattan Transfer on White Christmas. Neat.

[buccaneer morgan]

Ok, fitchberg, very inspiring rocco.

I was thinking on one of kev's links, moslems are proclaiming their faith, the shahadah, they take advantage of our institutions but how often did we, like Larsson's presentation a little like Luke's letter to theophilus.

The left can do anything. They've been caught selling baby eyes & the skin from down syndrome babies.

http://townhall.com/columnists/phelimmcaleer/2016/12/20/the-senate-report-on-planned-parenthood-no-one-is-talking-about-n2261816

"ABR invoices show the same prices were charged for the parts of a 21-week-old Down Syndrome fetus, except that a buyer was found to pay $325 for a leg and an extra $325 for the baby’s skin. Yes, you read that correctly. In America, in 2016, you can buy the skin of a Down Syndrome fetus for the very reasonable price of just $325 (plus shipping)."

This tweet sums it up -
Brant Hansen @branthansen
Genuinely wondering if there was *anything* ‪#‎PlannedParenthood‬ could do that would cause supporters to say, "OK, I need to re-think this..."

How could we do a hoax that is worse than what they are already doing?

They are siding with the Islamic world too...

As we see this Lesner story unfold, it's worth remembering how the Left was so incensed about this Missouri Rodeo Clown wearing an Obama mask, that he was fired from his job, permanently banned from ever performing as a Rodeo Clown in Missouri again, ordered to undergo mandatory "sensitivity" training, and every rodeo clown in future who participates in Missouri Rodeos was ordered to undergo "Sensitivity" Training.

I wonder if Packer College will demand their Professors noe undergo Mandatory Sensitivity Training? Why not?

Surprisingly tho' there were no consequences for the Rodeo Clown in the Hillary Mask:

Nor were there consequences for the George W Bush Rodeo dummy episode.

[Jim Eagle]

A reminder of where we were at Thanksgiving. A Christmas edition followup is coming. I have decided to do an e-Book and therefore have changed the names of the innocent to protect the guilty. Keep your browser on alert:

"Jack Isbaque, tired but hungry, from a long drive up from Fayetteville, NC, or more precise, Ft. Bragg, just couldn’t avoid trying out the pizza at Comet Ping Pong on upper Connecticut Avenue. It was his old neighborhood when he lived in DC. He had a condo on Ellicott Street where he would use his premier balcony to do his daily tai-chi exercise. Now, it was owned, by some company called Divisional Optics.

Caprice Mellman, retired, successful prosecutor, bullshit detector extraordinaire, columnist and sole proprietor of the “Pitchforks and Gibbets” online store, was trying to hide herself from the wind and chill of another cold and windy day in a November Chevy Chase. This would be her first visit to the newly notorious pizza parlor just down the street from one of her favorite bookstores, “Politics and Prose”, although recently it had become politics only and the progressive, elitist, new left kind of safe space for the Washington snow flakes. After all, graduating from Yale, Wellesley, Harvard and Wisconsin, where do the freshly minted political naiveté go?

He had convinced her to meet him here simply because he had gotten some confidential information that Ernie Souchak would be there on another one of his wild goose chases. But if Jack said this was important then who was she to say no. He had done more than anyone to expose the fantastical naiveté and compulsions of the rag tag mental cripple from Chicago. What could go wrong except choking on a laughter fit?

In Poolesville, MD, an elderly but very fit gentleman was stroking his beloved Cocker Spaniel, named Archie, while enjoying a glass of Highland Park 18 year old scotch and a pipe full of aromatic tobacco. The end was near and he knew if Caprice was correct, it was a danger less met and more than fully expected. But the insertion of Ernie Souchak, with his chips and special contacts in tact could prove to be a problem. He would have to contact Dr. Fitzgibbon of the risks ahead.

“I am in contact via the insert with Ernie, Judge. I see no change in our created personality and behavior. He will be ready in a few hours to be reinserted. And this time, can you please let the “Division” monitor hem him in so I can go home and enjoy my family?” Dr. Randall Fitzgibbon implored.

“Steady as she goes, Doctor. You will be free, like all of us,
after, Caprice and Jack report back. I have a feeling someone else is going to show up and make it all a dog’s breakfast.” The Judge signed off and returned to his scotch.

And that is how we end the Thanksgiving Day chapter"

I bought some Ivanka Trump booties tonight just because I can't stand the over-the-top hatred from libs.

They are the meanest people. I don't know how anyone can vote for the Democrat party.

He emailed back "haha I like your style".

He has even made me put a Giants magnet decal on the car. I only do that to take him to school, then take it off and put on my Beagle decal:)

I'm guessing envy of Ivanka's booty is what got the poofters tossed off the plane.

I would enter the pool, but my skill set in this area is nil. Absolutely nil. I see games, but the stuff just doesn’t stay in my head.

My wife, on the other hand, knows her stuff.

Taxpayers Billed for Zombie Macbeth, Plays About ‘Privilege’
$595,000 worth of art on drag queens, gay choruses, cowboy poetry

Speaking of Dan Savage & his "It Gets Better" organization...
Here's one of the groups that got funding.

"The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles received $20,000 to bring its anti-bullying “it gets better” tour to Omaha, Neb.

“The stage show brings to life real-life stories from lesbian, gay, transgender, genderqueer and straight allies from across America and infuses them with dynamic musical numbers,” according to the group’s website."

from the group's website - "GMCLA, in collaboration with the It Gets Better Project and Speak Theater Arts, is thrilled to announce a new chapter of the it gets better journey."

So did Dan Savage's group get taxpayer money?

Heh.
Read the fake news story of the day at memorandum. Bunch of lefties reported a poor Jewish family had fled town in fear because of the fake news from Breitbart and Fox they had caused a Christmas play to be canceled.

Only problem was the ADL did a little digging and they just went on a preplanned vacation.

They are closing the gap, ye of little faith. And days before Christmas

A fishing rig?
Surely everyone knows the easiest way to get something down that is stuck in a tree is to cut the tree down.
Can sometimes be problematical if the object stuck is a cat.
Or a kid.

Lasner also retweeted a man who wrote on Twitter: 'Dear @IvankaTrump + @JaredKushner, there are swastikas being painted across America by people who support your father. PLEASE SAY SOMETHING.'

I'll say something Mr Lasner, or are you Mrs Lasner, I get confused. Go to hell sir/ma'am.

I don't subscriber to sun tzu's notion, that a battle is won before its ever fought, not sure he even said it. Goodell seems to take it to heart though.

[Stephanie despicable me]
