The elites in our society long ago moved from “first class” airline travel to private jets. They live in private, secure and gated communities. They vacation on private islands and stay restricted access private hotels. Their lives are completely insulated from the people displaying uncivilized behavior they demand we live with and accept as normal.

Calls to take the wealth of the billionaires are becoming more appealing to the long suffering middle class as the middle class becomes more aware thanks to the internet. In many ways the behavior of the elites is as appalling as the behavior of the worst Spirit Airlines passenger. After all, Carnival Cruise Line never stopped at Epstein’s island.

I saw an interview with Piers Morgan recently -- who I think sometimes "says things" that are supposed to sound good but which he may not believe. In any case, Piers spoke about the current situation in the UK. He stated that there are no problems in the UK. Everyone is happy. Everyone is assimilating. There are no rape gangs. There are no confrontations in the streets. Everything is great in the UK -- at least, as far as he can see.

He's definitely living in a gated community, getting chauffeured to his private jet so that he can go off to a private island. From where he sits, everything is A-OK.

Powerful people don't care.

Correct, and I think a good point.

It's a crazy world.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. flies commercial flights, including in economy class. He and his wife, Cheryl Hines, were recently spotted flying on a commercial American Airlines flight in October 2025, where they sat among passengers in the main cabin—Hines in a middle seat—and were praised online for their down-to-earth approach. The couple was captured in a viral TikTok video boarding separately and taking their seats, sparking positive reactions and comparisons to other politicians who use private jets. This aligns with past instances of RFK Jr. choosing commercial travel, though there have also been reports, such as a 2023 photo, showing him barefoot on a plane, which resurfaced in late 2025 amid discussions about air travel etiquette.

Kristi Noem was a wannabe elite married to a wannabe tranny.

Noem was linked to multiple controversial requests for luxury jets, sparking public and political scrutiny. She sought approval to purchase a $70 million Boeing 737 Max 8, currently leased by DHS, which features a queen-size bedroom, showers, a kitchen, a bar, and seating for up to 18 passengers. DHS claims the jet would serve dual purposes: high-profile deportations and cabinet-level travel, asserting it would save taxpayer money by being 40% cheaper to operate than military alternatives. The $70 million Boeing jet was marketed as having an interior by designer Peter Marino, with terms like “no expense spared” used in promotional materials.

Make commercial travel great again.
