TSA Evidently Needs More S.

Maybe he just couldn't take another Groundhog Day.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A Transportation Security Administration agent is dead after he jumped from a balcony in the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Orlando International Airport, according to officials from the Orlando Police Department. In a tweet, OPD officials said the man, who was in his 40s, jumped into the atrium area of the airport at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. He was found in critical condition and was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

OIA spokeswoman Carolyn Fennell said the man jumped from a floor just above the east security checkpoint. Because of that, some passengers may have gotten through the checkpoint without being screened. All passengers at gates 70-129 had to be rescreened, according to Fennell. That included people who had already gone through security as well as those who were either waiting to board or had boarded their flights.  

Seems as though TSA needs to do a better job of screening their own employees. The headline to the story is, however, a classic: "TSA agent commits suicide after jumping from balcony at OIA, police say."

Exactly how someone commits suicide after jumping from six stories up is never specified. Just spitballing, here, but I'm guessing he committed suicide by making the jump, not afterward.

But then, I'm not a reporter.

They don't need actual meteorologists any more, just actors who can react to the graphics as though they're real. Click the link, and you can watch one of their meteorologists "react" to a falling iced-up tree limb - when in fact there's no tree there at all.

Television should be viewed for entertainment purposes only, these days.

 

Proofreading Is Dead

"I just swooped down and attacked my head," said Cyndi Mara, who last week was walking into her job at the Chick-Fil-A next door when she was attacked.

So she just swooped down and attacked her head. This is why media no longer has any credibility.

 

 

Jim Screws Up Yet Again, Demonstrating That Walls Work

Early Thursday evening, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders retweeted Acosta’s tweet with a proud clapback: “When I went with President @realDonaldTrump to the border today I never imagined @Acosta would be there doing our job for us and so clearly explaining why WALLS WORK. Thanks Jim!”

CNN’s Jim Acosta was mocked across social media on Thursday for posting a video that was meant to downplay President Trump's claims of a border crisis -- but ended up supporting his argument that border barriers improve security.

In other news, Occasional and Rash have both been passed over for the plum committee jobs they wanted, which indicates that even Democratics retain a few standards.

 

Too Much Even For Seattle

Channel 13's fired one of its editors following revelations that they had doctored a clip of President Trump’s Tuesday Oval Office address.

Less than a day after placing the editor responsible on leave pending an investigation, Q13 terminated his employment.

“We’ve completed our investigation into this incident and determined that the actions were the result of an individual editor whose employment has been terminated,” said Q13’s news director in a Thursday update.

The Q13 video created a loop of the President licking his lips — making it seem bizarre and unbalanced — it also seems that someone distorted the President’s face and may have added an orange tone to his skin.

Well, it's Seattle. Derangement is kind of the norm in the Pacific Northwest. Our next-door neighbors absolutely hate conservatives - but they have one of those virtue-signalling signs on their lawn: "We believe", yadda-yadda. The most hate-filled couple I've ever met, but they have a sign that proclaims their virtue.

Before we buy the next house, I'll be checking out the neighbors in the area.

They just dumped 43 employees as, like most legacy media, the company's bleeding revenue.

It looks as though another member of the Democrat Propaganda Machine is having hard times, but leftist employees always find another venue in which to peddle their wares.

 

Hogg-Wild

"You're not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? How does that make you interesting? You didn't get shot, you pushed some fat kid in the way!"

Actually, Louis C.K. got it wrong; Hogg wasn't even at the school when the Parkland shootings occurred. He did, by his own admission, subsequently hop on his bicycle and pedal over there afterward. And media still refer to him as a "survivor".

Unsurprisingly, a lot of folks crawled out from the baseboards to express their "outrage" over the comedian's take on the "survivor". In some respects, C.K. reminds me of Carlin, who routinely "outraged" people in his later years.

 

And Nobody Missed Them

Most Union-Tribune subscribers were without a newspaper this morning as a virus in computer systems controlling production of newspapers across the country hobbled our ability to publish. Production problems at the California Times printing plant in Los Angeles affected print runs of the U-T, the Los Angeles Times and the Southern California editions of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

 

 

No Wonder The Left Hates Trump

WASHINGTON - Amid President Donald Trump's push for tighter immigration policies, the United States deported more than 256,000 illegal immigrants in 2018 - the highest number since the Obama administration, new data shows.

Golly, the media were awfully quiet when Barry was doing it. But then, he's half black, so it's all good.

Trump, by contrast, is pure evil. At least, that's what we're constantly told.

 

Rage Makes You Stupider Than Usual

Well, it really does. These chicks aren't anything I'd want to take home to meet the folks. Just sayin'.

Fake "outrage" seems to be a growth industry in the USA today. Poor "triggered" snowflakes. At least it makes them feel good about themselves.
