These Budget Airlines Are Getting Rid of Flight Modification Fees

Budget airlines are known for charging passengers fees for various services, sometimes without prior notice. Despite their well-earned reputation, two of the biggest low-cost airlines in the U.S. are doing away with nearly all the fees for changing or canceling a flight. 

In a recent development, Frontier Airlines introduced a comprehensive range of fare classes in late May. These include primary, economy, premium, and business, offering unique services and pricing. Notably, all classes, except for the basic one, will now come with the added benefit of no change or cancellation fees, a significant departure from the airline’s previous policy.  

Under the new policy, passengers will no longer be charged a fee for changing their flight. However, the airline will require passengers to pay the difference in airfare. This condition should be considered when contemplating a change. With flight cancellations, Frontier Airlines will issue a future trip credit, providing a flexible option for passengers.  

 “Today marks the beginning of a new era for Frontier — one with transparency in our prices, no change fees, and the lowest total price,” Frontier’s CEO, Biffle, said in a statement. “This is ‘The New Frontier,’ and we are committed to offering more than the lowest fares — we deliver the best price for all the options you want and the customer support you need when you need it.” 

Plane In Flight

Spirit Airlines, Frontier’s biggest competitor, announced its fee changes soon after. Now, passengers flying with this low-cost carrier can modify and cancel flights without any extra cost other than the airfare difference when applicable. Unlike Frontier, all Spirit fliers will benefit from the change.  
 
“As we have said, Spirit has been evaluating changes to our product and strategy that will help us better compete, elevate the guest experience, and return to profitability,” the airline shared in a statement. “This new policy is among the best in the industry because it applies to every guest. We have many other enhancements in the works and look forward to sharing more soon.” 
 
With the Department of Transportation cracking down on airline “junk fees” and the lack of transparency surrounding them, it’s no surprise that these airlines are acting now.  

Gov. Gavin Newsom Allows Eviction Of 80-Year-Old Woman. Greed And Gentrification.

Land Grab.

California Gov Gavin Newsom allows the evictions of hundreds of Americans, including older adults. While California prides itself as a sanctuary city for millions of people crossing the southern border into America illegally, it is not a sanctuary for Americans.

Suppose you are a regular Joe working and trying to make ends meet in America. In that case, California is not the place for you. California has become a hell hole mainly for African Americans upon whose backs America derived most of its wealth.

California Is No Place For The Elderly

Eviction for the elderly in California has skyrocketed on average by a whopping 18 percent in 2024 — since the COVID-19 pandemic. California is mercilessly forcing its elderly to live on the streets. California is one of the top three wealthiest states in America.

Yet in a sea of excessive wealth, the rent checks for older people have been returned for insufficient funds — as Martin Luther King, Jr. would say. Under Gov Gavin Newsom, California is not a place for the elderly. California Gov is what Frank Lopez calls a Hasa or a Chazzer.

Just ask 80-year-old Zeta Flowers. Ms. Flowers’s landlord is evicting her from her home of 26 years. Ms. Flowers raised her four adopted children and twenty foster children. It’s quite sad that women raised twenty-four children, and none of them can or is willing to help her in her time of need. WTF. However, I digress. Good-hearted folks are raising a generation of vipers.

Helen Byrne

California Tries To Evict 94-Year-Old Helen Byrne From Her Home Of 80 Years 

Many California residents were given a three-year moratorium on paying their rent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms. Flowers ran a daycare out of her home. She would use the income from her home-based business to pay her rent of $2000 a month.

However, the pandemic caused her business to flounder. After they lifted the moratorium, Ms. Flowers’s landlord demanded one year’s rent upfront. Ms. Flowers could not meet the unreasonable demand, even though it’s according to state law.

The landlord gave Ms Flowers three days to vacate the property or face eviction. Under the California Civil Code (in most cases), a landlord must provide senior with at least 90 days’ notice to tenants before eviction.

California Penal Code: I Am White, And I Say So Law.

While the government is not the answer to everything, it is that California’s Penal Code 368 PC elder abuse statute makes it a crime to inflict physical or emotional abuse on anyone 65 years or older. Ms. Flowers is 79 years old. And she’s paid her dues and taxes to provide aid for others. It’s clear that Ms. Flowers’ eviction falls under California’s Penal Code: I Am White And I Say So Law. Get Out!

The landlord raised the rent almost threefold and expected a regular 94-year-old woman to come up with the rent. Gov Gavin Newscum’s California has the highest homeless population in the nation, with 181,399 people living on the streets. Gavin Newscum wants to add more octogenarians to his ever-growing homeless population.

Study: Fish Oil Supplement Linked To Cardiovascular Disease.

0

Fish Tanked

The results of a study on the overuse of fish oil supplements say it may increase an initial stroke and contribute to cardiovascular disease. Medical News Today reports that “Fish oil, a source of omega-3 fatty acids commonly used to reduce cardiovascular risk, might increase the risk of heart attack and stroke among people who have good cardiovascular health.”

About 610,000 people of the 795,000 who have strokes each year have strokes for the first time. About 185,000 of the 795,000 people have already had a stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Heart disease: The Mayo Clinic

Despite the known benefits of dietary fish oil, it’s important to note that research suggests fish oil supplements may not offer the same significant improvements to heart health.

WebMD

WebMD has also raised serious concerns about the risks and benefits of fish oil. A large new study has linked fish oil supplements to heart problems like an irregular heartbeat or a stroke. The report’s findings underscore the potential dangers of fish oil supplements, emphasizing caution.

Fish Oil Supplement Could Have You Swimming With The Fishes

Even if the overuse of fish oil supplements can contribute to a first-time stroke for some people, dietitians recommend a healthy lifestyle and avoiding swimming with fish early.

Below Are CDC Facts to lower the risk of a stroke:

*Choose foods high in fiber and low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol.

*Add herbs and spices like oregano, rosemary, thyme, chives, basil, cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger to your meals.

*Exercising regularly

*Maintaining a healthy weight

*Limiting alcohol consumption

*Quitting smoking

*Keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the normal range

*Keeping blood sugar (glucose) in the normal range

*Treating heart disease

*Treating diabetes

Medical Science issues a warning to the American population as a reminder that:

  • Stroke risk increases with age, but strokes can—and do—occur at any age.
  • Early action is essential for stroke.
  • Stroke statistics vary by race and ethnicity.

American Airlines Removes Black Men From Plane Claiming They “Stink.”

The Art Of Discrimination.

American Airlines kicked seven Black male passengers off of its airplane, claiming that they were stinking. While the jet was waiting to take off, an American Airlines male flight attendant spread rumors about the men’s personal hygiene.

Confucius says: If you go to bed with an itchy bottom, you wake up with smelly fingers. What comes first, the chicken or the egg? Did someone break the wind inside the cabin? Three men out of eight who they removed from the airplane are suing American Airlines for racist discrimination.
For the authorities to take only the men off the plane means they’re saying Black people stink.

Did American Airlines Fail The Smell Test?

The eight Black men sitting in different areas of the airplane do not know each other. The men never met until after the authorities removed and corralled them in the same space. Meanwhile, American Airlines gave a canned message of apology for the unnecessary trauma they visited upon their Black customers.

“American Airlines take very seriously” and wants our customers to have a “positive experience” when they fly with us.” The airline says it takes all claims of discrimination seriously.

Air Plane

Deplaned, Boss, Deplaned: This Is No Fantasy Island For Eight Black Customers:

The company did not disclose its internal policy for removing customers for personal hygiene issues.
Neither the complaint of the Air Hostess nor the airline’s robotic response passed the smell test. They both failed the smell test.

Another part of the canned message reads, “Our teams are currently investigating the matter, as the claims do not reflect our core values or our purpose of caring for people.” The removal of the eight men came after someone (a bigot) filed a complaint stating that the Black customers were stinking up the plane.

Again, it is essential to note that the men do not know each other and sit in separate areas of the plane. In the lawsuit filed in federal court, the three plaintiffs — Alvin Jackson, Emmanuel Jean Joseph, and Xavier Veal revealed that the men were forced off the plane “without any valid reason, except based solely on their race.”

The airline could not find another flight for the men going to New York. After a one-hour delay, the men were allowed to re-board the flight to their destinations.

American Airlines Notorious For Flight Delays

In August 2023, NPR‘s article, the U.S. government fined American Airlines millions of dollars for lengthy tarmac delays. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the federal government is fining American Airlines $4.1 million for dozens of instances in which passengers were kept on board planes without a chance to exit during long ground delays.

Last February, a retired Black judge accused American Airlines of blatant discrimination based solely on her race. Judge Pamela Hill-Veal told NPR she was flying the first class when she used the restroom. Upon her return to her seat, she was confronted by a flight attendant.

The same Flight Attendant accused Judge Hill-Veal of slamming the restroom doors. The judge denied slamming the door. According to Hill-Veal, the flight attendant became angry and pointed his finger in her face.

The flight attendant then instructed Hill-Veal to use the restroom in coach class at the back of the airplane. Hill-Veal told NPR. It is unknown if Judge Pamela Hill-Veal is related to Xavier Veal, one of eight men who were harassed by American Airlines in April.

Donald Trump Found Guilty On Trumped-Up Charges: Central Park Five

A jury of Donald J. Trump’s peers found him guilty of falsifying business records–a class B felony. According to the New York County District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, Trump’s falsifying business records helped him become President.

That is a long stretch of the imagination, and it strains credibility. However, a jury of Donald Trump’s peers believed that claim hook, line, and sinker. The foreman of a Manhattan jury declared the former President guilty in his hush money trial, repeating the word “guilty” thirty-four times.
Then Trump’s trial judge Merchan polled each juror individually, and they repeated their decision of a guilty verdict for the former President.

New York District Attorney Bragg alleged that Trump and his “fixer” attorney Michael Cohen plotted to cover up a $130,000 payment to hooker Stormy Daniels. Ms. Daniels took the money and signed an NDA to not publicize to the world, including Trump’s wife, his risky sexual encounter with a hooker. She would later violate the (NDA) shakedown documents she signed.

Today, Trump received a taste of what it feels like to be accused of a crime on Trumped-up charges. In 1989, Donald J. Trump placed full-page advertisements in several New York newspapers calling for the execution of five teenage Black and Latino boys. The boys were arrested on trumped-up charges of sexual assault of a lone female jogger, Trisha Meili. The NYPD captured and framed the five boys on April 19, 1989.

The Central Park Five, as they became known, were charged with the sexual assault of a 28-year-old Meili. Ms. Meili was a white investment banker who the actual rapist left for dead in a bush. Left up to Trump, he would have executed those boys. All five boys (ages 14-16) would later be exonerated by DNA evidence. On April 15, 2024, thirty-five years later, Trump began his trial on trumped-up charges.

Trump In Court

Donald J. Trump Found Guilty On 34 Counts of Business Fraud: A B-Class Felony

Fox News Hosts (Foxholes) Breathing Revolution.

After the jury rendered its verdict, several Fox News hosts went on a rampage. They claim that “Trump was convicted because he beat Hillary Clinton and was going to beat Biden.” So Fox News is saying the jurors convicted Trump because–another statement that strains credibility.

Fox News continued, “We are wounded as a country, and we’re not going to down [without a fight.”] “We are going to get back up. We are going to regain our strength,” Fox News said. And we are going to vanquish the evil forces that are destroying this Republic.” Where is Darth Vader when he’s needed?

Foxholes believe in the legal system until it finds a white man guilty. Then suddenly, the jurors are nitwits and Hillary Clinton bots. The hosts of Foxholes called them nitwits and claimed they “are consumed with hatred.” And we will seek justice, the Foxholes said. Well, they tried that on January 6, and it did not end well for a few “revolutionaries.

— Are the charges against the former President trumped up? Of course, many people believe so. But does that mean all 12 jurors on the Trump jury panel are corrupt? That isn’t likely. The defense attorneys for Donald J. Trump properly and carefully vetted them.

“Today is an important day for the rule of law and accountability. While it has been difficult for me and my family, the truth always matters. I want to thank my attorneys, Danya Perry and Joshua Kolb, for their invaluable guidance and support throughout this process.” Michael Cohen.

Michael Cohen, Donald J. Trump’s self-described Trump fixer, celebrates as he played a pivotal role in the conviction of the first American President to become the first convicted felon—history in the making.

Red Lobster Closes 100 Stores: Eaten Out Of Business

Red Lobster, the renowned seafood chain, has shockingly and abruptly closed 100 of its restaurants across multiple states.

 The news, delivered without warning, left many, including the employees who arrived at work on Monday, in a state of disbelief, finding the doors closed and the business in bankruptcy.

Last summer, Red Lobster introduced a seemingly enticing promotion-$20 for unlimited all-you-can-eat shrimp. However, this move proved to be a financial disaster, with the company’s largest shareholder, Thai Union, having to write off a staggering $530 million loss by the year’s end.

 On January 18, 1968, entrepreneurs Bill Darden and Charley Woodsby opened their first Red Lobster restaurant in Lakeland, Florida. Four other restaurants followed the first opening. At its peak, the chain had 719 locations worldwide.

Jim Crow laws were the order of the day when Bill Darden opened his first Red Lobster restaurant. Bill Darden ignored the laws of the segregationists and seated Black people in his restaurant.

The Shrimp Rots From The Head Down

One could argue that Red Lobster was ‘eaten out of business’ by customers who took advantage of the all-you-can-eat promotional deal. Customers would come to the restaurant and order the all-you-can-eat plate. Some would stay for long periods to eat more than they could. The customers’ over-eating and upper management’s incompetence played a significant role in closing the restaurants. 

Dumpster Lobster

Some company management team members are pointing fingers at Thai Union, the Thailand-based seafood company with a 49% stake in Red Lobster. According to CEO Jonathan Tibus, there is an ongoing investigation into the Thai Union’s influence over the shrimp deal.

 Tibus also points a finger at his predecessor, former Red Lobster CEO Paul Kenny. In May 2023, Kenny implemented “the $20 unlimited shrimp promotion as a permanent menu item.”

Restructuring For Survival

Employees knowledgeable about the company’s inner workings blame Lobster’s penny-pinching ways for its failure.

Employees also blamed Thai Union’s penny-pinching for the company’s downfall. 

A CNN report says a former Red Lobster executive said the company “forced huge cost reductions, including many that were pennywise and pound-foolish because they hurt sales.” According to its bankruptcy filing, Red Lobster owes over $16.7 million in unpaid wages to 36,000 employees. 

“The company secured $100 million in financing commitments from its existing lenders but has liabilities of more than $1 billion,” the filing said.

 Red Lobster has an annual customer base of over 64 million. Now, that’s a lot of shrimp to capture. Precious did not eat all those shrimp by herself. “From now on, you order takeout. No more buffets for you.”

These U.S. Airlines Are the Highest Ranked for Customer Satisfaction 

While the headlines and social media are often full of stories about airlines misbehaving — from overbooked flights to exorbitant hidden fees — a few carriers still left a good impression on their customers.  

 Just in time for the summer travel season, J.D. Power recently released its 2024 North American Airlines Satisfaction Study, revealing which airlines have the happiest passengers.  

 For the third year running, Southwest Airlines has emerged as the leader, earning the highest score for customer satisfaction in economy and basic economy service. This consistent performance is a testament to Southwest’s unwavering commitment to customer service.

Passengers traveling in premium economy, first class, or business have preferred Delta Air Lines, ranking it number one in customer satisfaction. 

Delta’s dedication to enhancing its ‘Delta One’ business class product, with features like lie-flat seats, larger entertainment systems, privacy doors, and more, has paid off.  

Air Plane Interior

Delta’s high rating comes as no surprise as the company has worked on improving its “Delta One” business class product in recent years, with lie-flat seats, larger entertainment systems, privacy doors, and more. JetBlue comes in second for the first class or business category with its “Mint” product, which has also seen dramatic improvements over the years.  

 Behind those two carriers come United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, and Air Canada, taking the other top spots for first or business-class service.  

“The big takeaway from this year’s study is the power of people to influence the overall flight experience positively,” J.D. Power’s Senior Managing Director of Travel, Hospitality, Retail, and Customer Service, Michael Taylor, said in the study.

 “Airlines that are investing in staff training and recruitment are finding ways to overcome the negative effects of crowded gates and planes simply by being nice to their customers,” he added.  

Regarding premium economy, the most well-liked airlines were Delta, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue, WestJet, United Airlines, and Air Canada.  

 Southwest came first for economy passengers, followed by Delta and Allegiant Airlines. Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines were ranked last, respectively.  

 A total of 9,582 passengers were meticulously surveyed for this study. These passengers had recently flown on a major airline between March 2023 and March 2024, ensuring the data was up-to-date and reflected current customer experiences.

 The participants were asked to rate their airline experience on a comprehensive six-point scale, covering aspects such as airline staff, level of trust, and value for money. This thorough approach instills confidence in the validity of the rankings. 

Trump’s Goons Appearing At His Trial To Prostrate And Intimidate.

The Goon Squad

During this critical trial, a wave of inactive Congress members made a pilgrimage to New York, bowing before former President Donald Trump. In a chilling display, Trump’s loyalists are now congregating at the courthouse, not just to show their allegiance, but to intimidate witnesses and jury members, making this one of the most perilous trials in recent history.

It’s as if there’s been a sudden surge in demand for red neckties at Walmart, all thanks to the Donald Trump Goon Squad who seem to have bought them all. These MAGA Representatives, looking like a troupe of jesters, stood in close proximity to the courthouse, their red neckties a garish display. Some of them were contorting their bodies in unnatural ways, while others were bending over in a show of submission. 

Either way, the WAP moves of the Congressmen made it pleasurable for Trump. 

Judge Merchan, the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money trial, has placed a gag order on the former President because he doesn’t know when to shut up. Whether or not the gag order is fair, the ruling is of the court.

Because Donald J. Trump has a history of saying things that could incite the violent members of his cult to violence. There are some followers of Trump with a history of bringing harm to those who oppose Donald Trump. Likewise, witnesses and jury members could fall prey to the MAGAites. The Republican Representative’s attempts to intimidate jurors stain the American justice system and could eradicate it. Each fire starts with a spark.

The Goon Squad Are Not Leaders

Some of these men are accomplished men. How do they go home to their wives and look them in the eye? What a sad-looking display of cowardice. North Dakota’ Governor, he’s a bonafide billionaire. Yet, he’s in NY crawling around on his hands and knees at Trump’s behest. Whether by hook or crook, Vivek Ramaswamy has purportedly made more than 750 million dollars. 

Vivek Ramaswamy has always been lost in the sauce — it’s not surprising that he’s crawling before Donald Trump. Rep Mike Johnson, a lot of people believe foreign agents are lining a Swiss bank for him.

Mike Johnson is one of those politicians who goes to Washington broke but leaves wealthy. Rep. Byron McDonald is just a dumbo to think Trump would make him his Vice President. What a jackass. Rep. McDonald is in the same ol’ leakey boat as Sen Tim (rent-a-date) Scott of South Carolina. Tsk, tsk.

Congressional Beta Males Everywhere

Sen Rick Scott is a multi-millionaire (also a bigot) who is more intelligent than Donald Trump. Rick Scott also found himself in New York crawling around on all fours. What is going on in Congress, and what’s up with America’s political elites? Congress has become a rest haven for beta males.

 There’s no doubt that former President Donald Trump is an Alpha male, but that doesn’t mean men in Congress should roll over before Trump every time he waves his magic wand before them. 

At the end of the day, the former President would still be a better president than President Joe Biden.

 

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Rage Against the Machine — Trump And Biden

Locked Out

After dodging the media and the public, President Biden and former President Trump have finally agreed to debate each other. However, both Biden and Trump have conspired against third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy to keep him off the debate stage. The political sleight of hand carried out by the RNC and the DNC has Robert Kennedy, Jr. raging against the machine, Biden, and Trump.

Biden and Trump disagree on just about everything, politically and socially. However, there is one thing they both agree on: they don’t like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Third-party candidate Cornell West calls it a duopoly–the stranglehold the Republican and Democrats has on the political system. 

A recent UMass Amherst Poll revealed a significant portion of the public’s perception of Biden’s win. It found that 30% of respondents believed his victory was not legitimate, highlighting the deep divisions and skepticism within the electorate.

President Biden has gone out of his way to refuse RFK, Jr Secret Service protection. Is Biden hoping for RFK, Jr. to get assassinated to secure his win over Trump in November? The systematic lockout of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has only increased his rage against the machine.

Several polls have shown Kennedy, Jr. running in the double digits, with as much as 13 percent of voters wanting him as President. Those poll numbers make Kennedy, Jr. a viable candidate, regardless of what mainstream talking heads say about his candidacy.

The 2020 Election Doubters

In the 2020 presidential election, Biden narrowly beat then-President Donald Trump with 51 percent of the votes. Yet today, many Americans still do not believe President Biden won the fair and square election. As Biden, Trump, the DNC, and RNC conspire to delegitimize other candidates, the 2020 election will have its doubters.

 According to the Federal Election Commission, seventy-four million people voted for Donald Trump. The number of people who voted fraudulently for Trump has not been clarified. The Republicans are the ones to pursue the Democrats with claims of voter fraud. However, they accept every vote they get as a legitimate vote.

Although former President Trump lost the race with around forty-seven percent of the popular vote, he managed to garner 232 electoral votes. To win the Presidency, the candidate needs 270 electoral votes. Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden, won the 2020 Presidential election with 306 electoral votes. Most Republicans still still deny the fact that Biden won the 2020 election. A large number of Americans have lost faith in the fairness of the electoral process.

 And with leaders of both major parties shutting out Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. from the race — their fear grows more each day. Both Trump and Biden refused to debate any of the other presidential hopefuls. After months of playing hide and go-seek with the public, President Biden and Trump agreed to participate in two debates. CNN will host the first debate on June 27. ABC News will host the Second debate on September 10. Those two presidential debates should be a shit show.

Should Psychotic P. Diddy Go To Prison Or The Insane Asylum?

Stomach Turning Behavior

Should P. Diddy go to prison or the insane asylum? A newly released Intercontinental Hotel surveillance video shows a psychotic person identified as P. Diddy beating and kicking a female inside the corridor of a hotel. 

According to reports, the victim of the brutal attack was Cassie Ventura. The recorded inhumane attack is stomach-turning and revolting to look at—the video squares with allegations made in Cassie Ventura’s financial lawsuit filed by her attorneys. 

The stomach-turning video shows a female trying to run away like an abused slave from a plantation. Then, the video shows a male, like an enslaver plantation master, capturing the slave girl. The enslaver then proceeded to mete out some savage, beast-like, inhumane punishment to his slave girl.

Since the release of the footage, P. Diddy (Sean Combs) has adopted a mum in the word demeanor. The video speaks volumes and appears believable unless you are Rodney King. In such a case, the video is not reliable or believable. Is the brutality depicted in the video the complete person of who P. Diddy (Sean Combs) is? If it is his complete persona, then he’s what the Devil has made. 

The Devil Wrapped In A White Towel

The Devil wrapped himself in a white towel to beat his victim. He might as well have wrapped himself in a white KKK robe.

In late March 2024, HSI Federal Agents raided P. Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami. The agents confiscated a slew of electronic equipment and interior surveillance videos from his home. The agents did not arrest Combs, but they took in custody a Combs employee named Brendan Paul. The police charged Mr. Paul with felony cocaine possession.

“Brendan Paul pleaded guilty and accepted the prosecutor’s offer to permit his entry into the diversion program. Once Paul completes the drug program, the case against him will be dismissed in its entirety.” The prosecution has yet to reveal if Brendan Paul is cooperating with the feds to testify against P. Diddy, AKA Sean Combs.
