It’s Monday, November 15th, 2021…but before we begin, in a departure from normal convention, we offer\u00a0<\/strong>yet another titillating tale torn from the pages of The Crime Blotter<\/em><\/span>, courtesy today of one Arielle Jackson, who Dallas police say is the…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woman Arrested After Assaulting Southwest Flight Attendant<\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“…At approximately 12:40 p.m. Nov. 13, officials say Arielle Jean Jackson boarded Flight 4976 with scheduled service from Dallas Love Field to La Guardia. Upon boarding the plane, Jackson reportedly \u201cwent straight to the back\u201d where she had a verbal altercation<\/em><\/span> with a flight attendant who instructed her to leave the plane<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Officials said Jackson then<\/em><\/span> went to the front<\/span><\/em> of the plane where she had verbal altercation with another<\/em><\/span> flight attendant before hitting her with \u201ca closed fist to the head<\/span><\/em>.\u201d Jackson was shortly arrested for aggravated assault and taken into custody at the Dallas County Jail.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Southwest said the flight attendant was taken to a local hospital and that she has the airline\u2019s full support<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

Here’s the juice: Anti-social behavior that goes unpunished is effectively encouraged, and there have been a growing number of violent events on commercial flights, particularly over the course of the scamdemic…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…with no apparent or publicized consequences suffered by the criminals who committed them.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0And criminals they are, a<\/strong>s HG.org<\/em>\u00a0highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Title<\/strong> 49 U.S.C.A. \u00a7 46504 (formerly 49 U.S.C.A. App. \u00a7 1472(j)), provides:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

An individual on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States who, by assaulting or intimidating a flight crewmember or flight attendant of the aircraft, interferes with the performance of the duties of the member or attendant or lessens the ability of the member or attendant to perform those duties, or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be guilty of the federal crime of interfering with flight crew members and attendants.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>The statute provides that if convicted, an offender \u201cshall be fined, imprisoned for not more than 20 years<\/span>, or both<\/span>.\u201d However, if a dangerous weapon is used in assaulting or intimidating the victim, the penalty shall be \u201cimprisonment for any term of years or for life<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em>“<\/p>\n

We can’t recall anyone who refused to obey instructions from a flight attendant, let alone individuals who assaulted one, ever serving significant time or being assessed a meaningful fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps Ms. Jackson was inspired by the recent incident at the youth basketball tournament in Garden Grove, CA, when the 15-year-old daughter of former NBA player Corey Benjamin (As noted racist and anti-Semite Ilhan Omar tweeted, it’s ALL about the Benjamins, baby<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a>!) delivered an unprovoked sucker punch to a girl half her size and weight<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turns out, as the article linked above tells us, this wasn’t the first or even second time young Ms. Benjamin struck an opponent, but the third.\u00a0 Again, anti-social behavior that goes unpunished is encouraged.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No word on whether Benjamin’s mother also inspired her first two attacks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up, NRO<\/em>‘s Charlie Cooke takes us on a trip down the rabbit hole to meet…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden in Wonderland<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

No matter how strenuously it insists that down is up and up is down, the White House can\u2019t pretend away the spiraling crises before our eyes<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

“I<\/strong><\/span><\/span>f<\/span>\u00a0I had a world of my own,\u201d said Alice, \u201ceverything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn\u2019t.<\/span> And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn\u2019t be, and what it wouldn\u2019t be, it would. You see?\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rumor has it that Alice is preparing to apply for a job in the White House press office.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And not a moment too soon, either, for, having offered himself up as the\u00a0savior of the American way<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span>, President Biden now finds himself in something of a pickle.<\/span> The jobs reports are lackluster<\/span><\/em>. The border is a mess<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> Gas prices are sky-high<\/span><\/em>. Our supply chains are broken<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> Inflation, which was supposed to be \u201ctransitory,\u201d looks more persistent by the day<\/span><\/em>. Americans remain stranded<\/span><\/em> in Afghanistan.<\/span> China\u2019s\u00a0testing space-nukes<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span>. COVID is not only still with us; it\u2019s making its way into the Good States.<\/span> And, despite its having been given a jolly, catchy name \u2014 the \u201cBuild Back Better agenda\u201d \u2014 all the public seems to know about the president\u2019s gargantuan spending plan is that it will cost trillions upon trillions of dollars<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Down the rabbit hole<\/span><\/em>, though, everything is still peachy<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> Indeed, insofar as America has any problems to speak of, they\u2019re held to be either non-existent, inconsequential, or somehow your fault<\/span><\/em><\/strong>…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>It\u2019s so devilishly clever, in fact \u2014 and so terribly simple to boot \u2014 that one can\u2019t help but wonder why it hadn\u2019t been thought of until now.<\/span> All one must do<\/span><\/em> to achieve the effect is respond to any<\/em><\/span> criticisms whatsoever with an emphatic, \u201cNo<\/span><\/em>, you absolute rotter, that<\/span><\/em> isn\u2019t happening at all<\/span><\/em>; and if it\u00a0is<\/em><\/span>\u00a0happening, it\u2019s not too bad<\/span><\/em>, really; and if it\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0bad, it won\u2019t be bad for long<\/span><\/em>; and if it\u00a0is<\/em><\/span>\u00a0bad for long, well, that\u2019ll be your fault<\/span><\/em>.\u201d Then, having handily dispatched one\u2019s enemies, one can simply move on to the next objection, which, yes, might be based on things that people are actually seeing, but which is equally ill-founded, for reasons that will be decided upon by Twitter within the next few days<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Alice, she says, is able to believe \u201csix impossible things before breakfast.\u201d Looks as if she\u2019ll get the job.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

What’s most striking about Cooke’s commentary is it was written back on October 19th, and the disinformation campaign being waged by the White House and its MSM shills has not only continued, but intensified, as have the seriousness of the problems 46* has created for the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s as Jesse Watters says:<\/strong><\/p>\n
