    Changes could be coming to Southwest Airlines over the next few years. While at an airport industry conference this week, Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan spoke about the future of the Dallas-based airline. His goal is to stop losing customers to competitors. "Whatever customers need in 2025, 2030, we won’t take any of that off the table," Jordan told CNBC. "We know we send customers to other airlines because there’s some things you might want that you can’t get on us. That includes things like lounges, like true premium, like flying long-haul international. I want to send fewer and fewer...

    James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | June 18, 2025 | Michael Torres
    As the policy director for the Classic Learning Test (CLT), I’ve had dozens of conversations with lawmakers across the country about college entrance exams over the last year. Surprisingly, the topic that has drawn the most intense scrutiny has not been the CLT: It’s been changes made to the SAT in 2024 (and similar changes to the ACT being implemented right now). First, most lawmakers are surprised to learn that the tests change at all. They are then flabbergasted to learn what the most recent changes to the SAT were. The most noticeable changes were to the structure of the...

    Over 2.1 million Americans have dropped out of college without earning a degree, a troubling trend that raises concerns about whether universities are prioritizing politics over academic achievement.

Over 2.1 million Americans have dropped out of college without earning a degree, a troubling trend that raises concerns about whether universities are prioritizing politics over academic achievement. A June 4 report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center found that college non-completers rose by 2.2 percent in the past year. Citing a lack of direction,...

    The New York Mets left baseball fans furious on Friday night after showing a Pride flag on their big screen during a rendition of the US national anthem. Prior to their game against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Mets controversially displayed the LGBTQ+ symbol instead of the American flag as the Star Spangled Banner played out at Citi Field. Despite a number of teams getting involved in the annual 'Pride Month' tradition in recent weeks, fans are threatening to boycott MLB over the divisive stunt that took place in New York.

    British activist Tommy Robinson and his friends were kicked out of a high-end steakhouse in London—not for breaking any rules or causing a disturbance—but because the staff reportedly “felt uncomfortable.” The incident unfolded at the upscale Hawksmoor steakhouse on Air Street, just steps from the prestigious Regent Street in central London, according to The Standard. Robinson was dining peacefully with a group of friends, including former English Defence League spokesman Guramit Singh Kalirai, when the group was approached by management halfway through their meal and asked to leave. Kalirai took to social media to expose the moment, posting a video...

    On Thursday, a panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals partially overturned a previous ruling that found Southwest Airlines acted with religious discrimination when it fired a flight attendant who shared pro-life messages on Facebook. In 2017, Charlene Carter filed a lawsuit against Southwest, arguing that she was unfairly fired from her flight attendant position because of her pro-life stance. When the flight attendant union, TWU Local 556, decided to participate in the 2017 Women’s March, Carter shared her criticism of the decision on Facebook because of the March’s connection to pro-abortion messaging and Planned Parenthood. She sent a...

    Disney's live-action remake of "Snow White" is out in theaters, and with a miserable $42.2 million opening weekend, it's already proven to be a historic flop. The film, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, cost at least $270 million to make, with tens of millions, if not more, spent on advertising. Given distribution and exhibition costs, it's likely Disney needed the film to make at least $800-850 million globally to break even. With the importance of the domestic market, US grosses needed to reach at least $400 million to give the entertainment giant a chance at profitability. It might not...
  • Snow White and the empty cinemas: Embarrassing photos show deserted theatres with NO bookings in primetime slots as woke-buster becomes 'hilariously abysmal' flop

    The crisis facing the Walt Disney Company over its controversial Snow White reboot deepened today amid pictures of empty cinemas and screens with no bookings in primetime slots following a poor opening weekend. Studio bosses had hoped that the reboot of the 1937 original, which had a budget of more than $270million (£210million), would launch with at least £79million ($100million) in ticket sales. But the movie starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot took just $87.3million (£67.4million) globally including $43million (£33million) in the US after a slow start followed a slew of negative reviews. Meanwhile, in mainland China, Snow White ranked...

    I don’t keep up with what Disney is doing. What they did to the Star Wars franchise is unforgivable. Yet, the new Snow White movie starring Rachel Zegler, a pro-Hamas clown, is getting bombed harder than Gaza right now, as critics and theater-goers are decidedly not watching this movie:
  • Dwarf actors' fury at Snow White remake where they've been replaced with CGI characters - as they accuse Disney of 'discrimination' and damaging their careers for the sake of political correctness

    Dwarf actors have shared their outrage at Disney's Snow White remake over the use of CGI characters, claiming it's 'discriminating in a sense' and could damage their careers. In the upcoming live-action film, set to be released in the UK on 21 March, the seven dwarves have been replaced by computer-generated 'magical creatures'. But the move has been criticised by dwarf actors, including those who have played the 'much loved' roles in Snow White pantomimes and now fear that they could lose their livelihood over the American company's decision. Bodybuilder and performer Choon Tan, 31, from north London, who has...

    During Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, leftist Hollywood actor Tom Hanks crossed the line with a cruel mockery of Trump supporters, sparking outrage across conservative circles. In the skit, Hanks gleefully ridiculed hardworking Americans who support the president, painting them as out-of-touch, foolish, racist idiots. The sketch, which many are calling despicable, adds fuel to the growing animosity from Hollywood elites toward everyday citizens who hold conservative views. For many, Hanks’ participation in this blatant attack is yet another example of the left’s relentless disdain for those who don't share their progressive agenda.AdvertisementHanks first portrayed a controversial character named...

    Two daughters of the man who helped build Target into a national retail powerhouse criticized the company’s decision to do away with its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the wake of the election of President Donald Trump. Anne and Lucy Dayton, whose father Bruce Dayton and his four brothers expanded their family-owned Minneapolis-based department store and turned it into what is today known as Target, penned a letter to the editor of both the Los Angeles Times and Financial Times on Thursday decrying the change. “As members of the Dayton family, we are shocked and dismayed by Target’s...

    Oh, Deere The largest farming-equipment manufacturer in the world, John Deere, unveiled a new crop of autonomous tractors and trucks at CES 2025 earlier this week, as the heavy-machinery giant looks to capitalize on the buzz around all things self-driving. If your immediate thought is that this sounds like a job killer... it is. John Deere has talked up its machines’ capabilities for precisely that purpose: to help alleviate some of the labor-shortage issues that farming faces, with the company’s chief technology officer, Jahmy Hindman, saying that “there is not enough available and skilled labor” to do the kind of...

    Allstate CEO Tom Wilson received a measure of backlash after he insisted that Americans must respond to the New Orleans terror attack by accepting people’s “imperfections and differences.” Wilson made the comments after ISIS supporter Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove into crowds in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing 14 and injuring at least 35. Jabbar posted a video online professing his support for Islamic State shortly before going on the rampage, according to authorities. In remarks coinciding with the start of the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the corporation’s CEO suggested the attack was a reminder of the...

    Democratic strategist James Carville, who coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid,” admitted his predictions for the 2024 race were wrong and that Democrats lost because of the economy. Carville, in an opinion piece for The New York Times, noted that while he truly believed Harris would win the election, he is reviewing what went wrong for Democrats since President-elect Trump’s decisive victory in November. “I’ve been going over this in my head for the past two months, all the variables, all the what-ifs, all the questions about Joe Biden’s re-election decisions and what kind of Democrat or message might...

    Kamala Harris campaign advisor Lindy Li announced she’s leaving the Democratic Party over its continuing shift toward woke radicalism and intolerance of dissenting viewpoints. Li, a DNC Finance Committee member who was tasked with overseeing the Harris campaign’s finances, explained Wednesday on Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” that since pointing out the “stench of loser” hanging over the Democrat Party in the wake of Kamala’s resounding defeat, she’s been targeted for harassment and canceling by her former peers. “As soon as I said that, there were boycott campaigns against me. Unblock-unfollow campaigns. I lost 40,000 followers in four days,” Li said. “They...

    CNN commentator and former Obama advisor Van Jones admitted during a recent podcast appearance that President Trump is “smarter” than “all of his critics” and that he made the entire Democrat party and Democrat media complex “look like idiots.” These remarks came during an interview posted to political commentator Chris Cillizza’s YouTube channel on Friday. Cillizza agreed with Jones’ assessment that “we look like idiots,” commenting, “You’re totally right.” Jones’ revelation is in response to Trump defying all attempts to steal the 2024 election with a sweeping victory on November 5, winning every swing state, 312 electoral votes, the national...

    Lower prices and social justice are not in conflict, and Democrats should do a better job of declaring that these goals do reinforce each other, to everyone’s benefit.In the wake of Democrats’ losses in this year’s election, questions have been raised about the party’s progressive wing, with some claiming that “woke is dying.” There are indeed lessons to learn, but Democrats should not abandon their core values. Obviously, elections are won by appealing to a broad base. Going too far left or right undermines that. Though President-elect Donald Trump is mostly on the extreme right, he apparently appealed to enough...

    Shaquille O'Neal says he's bored with basketball. The former Los Angeles Lakers center reacted to a recent report about the NBA's declining ratings by claiming that the league has become too predictable-and he quickly pointed to Stephen Curry, the master of three-pointers, as the reason. According to a report by Sports Media Watch, ratings for the first two days of the 2024-2025 NBA season dropped by as much as 47% compared to last year, depending on the game. O'Neal didn't hold back on finding a reason for the ratings decline. On the latest episode of "The Big Podcast with Shaq,"...
