The fictional John Wick, a retired assassin, got back into the business because bad guys killed his dog, a foolish decision resulting in almost 500 deaths at John Wick’s hands. That, of course, is the movies. Real life is Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) gunning politically for United Airlines (“UA”) because an airline executive, instead of apologizing after an employee manhandled Crenshaw’s dog, refused to acknowledge the airline’s error and, instead, attacked Crenshaw. I’m no Dan fan, but I can support him in his fight against an airline that is so committed to political correctness that it’s abandoned customer service and, along the way, seems to be putting Americans at risk.
I wrote here at some length about UA’s fetishistic commitment to the LGBTQ+ agenda. I mean, it’s one thing not to discriminate against gays and lesbians on the grounds of sexual orientation. It’s another thing entirely for the airline’s white, male CEO to go to war against white men and to promote the transgender lifestyle (which I, personally, don’t believe is part of the gay/lesbian spectrum but is, instead, a form of mental illness that should not be encouraged, nor should its practitioners be allowed in positions where they put the public at risk).
Crenshaw’s video is long (over 8 minutes) and boils down to three parts. Part one is Crenshaw’s wife and daughter, who are traveling with an infant and Crenshaw’s small dog, being told that they cannot fly with the dog on UA. This came as news to them because they’d flown with the dog before. However, Crenshaw’s wife acquiesced and said that they’d book a flight on a different airline.

Dan Crenshaw - 84% Heritage Action Lifetime score
Elise Stefanik - 54% Heritage Action Lifetime score (include the latter as her name is being mentioned as a VP candidate).
Ack, a little warning next time, please. Those t-shirts behind it say “it’s going down” are, uh, well, begs the question going down on what?!?
Touch my dog, my cat, my tweety bird or my kid and I’ll be the first one biting an arm off.
Continental Airlines was a great airline, and I enjoyed flying with them for over a decade.
United bought them, and immediately they started this downward spiral.
Sad to see, now.
We flew our three cats in cargo when we moved from CA to TN. The LAX TSA people were HORRIBLE! I guess the thought we were smuggling dope or something in the carriers because they demanded that we take them out of their carriers to be inspected.
All we could imagine was the terrified cats bolting and running through the LAX concourses jammed with masses of people. We’d NEVER see them again!
I was so upset that I sat on the floor and sobbed. (It had been a long, hard week, and this was the proverbial last straw.) At least that got them to relent a little and we were taken to a small room for inspection.
People who mess with animals, or threaten their safety... there’s a special place in hell for them.
He needs to go hard after United’s fired flight attendant/rehired DEI first officer who nearly crashed a 767 in Houston. Skin color can be no defense against incompetence. That’s where government has a legitimate interest in oversight. Not so much over bad customer service, which all US airlines are highly skilled at. :)
He is and I’d very much like to primary him...but let’s be honest. The major airlines are UTTER and complete crap and need to be slapped down hard instead of getting constant handouts from the government. They’re completely in the Democrats’ camp. They should suffer the consequences when Republicans are in office.
Red Flag Crenshaw can suck it.
I haven’t checked it yet, but what about the JBS rating?
I'm actually traveling on a United flight next week. I chose not to fly on the 737-800s, and chose the smaller Embraer planes instead.
