Jackson-Lee pulls out one of her race cards, as predicted

It's as predictable as the United Nations condemning Israel for something, Rep. Shiela Jackson Lee is pulling out her stack of race cards and using the top one to attack the woman whose seat she bumped from her first-class seat on a United Airlines flight. 

Pulling the race card is Jackson-Lee's default position.

Lucky for her the woman she bumped out of first-class wasn't black because, like Nancy Pelosi with her hands tied behind her back, she'd be speechless. The overweight and overpaid congresswoman bloviated on Twitter that she believes the incident was all about race.

Poor Jackson-Lee. Everybody hates her not because she's a racist herself, but because she's black.

"Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared to be, upon reflection [she actually doesn't have her own reflection] because I was an African American woman, [as still is] seemingly an easy target along with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice, [unless it was her who got bumped], the Texas Democrat posted. "This saddens me," she lied, " especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work on to help people."

Aside from herself, who has she really helped? 

Everything for Jackson-Lee is about race, because that's precisely how real racists think. It's like depressed people thinking that everything is depressing.

"But in the spirit of this season [she cannot write or mouth the word "Christmas"] and out of the sincerity of my heart, [which is better than your heart] I am kind enough to simply say sorry."

That isn't kindness--that's called bragging about being better than the woman. 

The ridiculousness continiued: "But as an African American [she isn't from Africa, she's an American American] I know there are too many examples like this all over the nation [because Jackson-Lee cannot finish a complete thought without throwing in race and trying to sound superior]."

Jean-Marie Simon, 63, was the woman who was tossed out of her first-class seat to make way for a bigot who can only see Simon's motive for feeling upset as one of racism.

Simon witnessed a uniformed United employee pull Jackson-Lee from the priority boarding line and escort her political butt to a first-class seat before any other passengers got on the plane.

I personally saw Patrick Ewing, a former New York Knick, at JFK Airport, standing in line behind me to purchase an airline ticket. He was taken off the line with his son to go to the front of the line for priority treatment. Ewing is black, I am white [I believe] and nobody said a word because if I had said something about fairness, I would have been labeled a racist.

And if Jean-Marie Simon somehow bumped Sheila Jackson-Lee from the first-class seat because she paid for it,  I believe Jackson-Lee would have still called Simon a racist.

What I believe had really happened was that United bumped Simon to give Jackson-Lee the first-class seat and then made up a story that she had canceled. It makes no sense that Simon would show up if she actually canceled the flight, so it's probably United is lying.

Sheila Jackson-Lee should have kept silent about the situation as it wasn't directly her fault--especially if she believed the seat wasn't booked for Simon. But like most liberals, she just can't keep her mouth shut and has to have a racial opinion about everything and everybody.

Not every white person is a racist. In fact, relatively few white people are racist, especially to the level Jackson-Lee contends we are.

Only an apology specialist apologized to Simon, nobody at the management level did.

The only way to change things is to frequent businesses that treat you better, even if sometimes it's more expensive or an inconvenience--you're worth it.

United Airlines coming untied (again)

(Photo: Heat Street)
There is a saying at United Airlines: "If you can't fix it, make it worse." 

The proverbial excrement is hitting the flabellum for the company that knows the quickest way to re-accommodate passengers to another flight.

Now they killed Simon, a simple bunny that never harmed a soul. The poor creature was found dead, possibly murdered, in the cargo hold of a United Airlines 'Iron Maiden.'

So far there are no suspects.

The three-foot-long, ten-month-old baby bunny rabbit was found unresponsive when the plane arrived at Chicago's O'Hare (get it--'Hare') airport coming from London Heathrow, according to the BBC.

The in-flight movie was "Snakes on a Plane."

The airline is now investigating the incident and says that it was "saddened" to hear the news.

Dr. David Dao, the passenger who was dragged off the plane by security and injured when he refused to leave his paid for seat to allow United Airlines employees to take it from him, had no comment. 

In fact, it's somewhat embarrassing for Dao to speak as he lost his two front teeth in the kerfuffle and now this is all he wants for Christmas.

Animals don't usually die on planes, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. In 2015, however, of the 35 critters that died, 14 of them mysteriously did so on United Airlines flights.

Tainted carrots for Simon have been ruled out.

United issued a standard statement to the BBC: "We were saddened to hear this news. The safety and well-being of all the animals that travel with us is of the utmost importance to United Airlines and our PetSafe team."

But so far, nobody on their so-called PetSafe team has been disciplined.

"We have been in contact with our customer and have offered assistance. We are reviewing this matter." [But it will not bring back baby bunny Simon.]
One of Simon's fans

Simon was the son of the world's largest rabbit--a four-foot-long continental giant rabbit named Darius.

The dead bunny's 'mom' and owner Annette Edwards said that "Simon had a vet's checkup three hours before the flight and was fit as a fiddle. Something very strange has happened and I want to know what. I've sent rabbits all around the world and nothing like this has happened before."

Simon is being laid to rest at Watership Down. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please donate carrots to your local warren.

On a serious note, while this post was satirical, the story is true and it really is unacceptable that any life should perish, rabbit or otherwise, on a routine airline flight.
