I have a very long story about a guy that worked for me at the Technical School as an instructor that had the surgery.  He was a big, not especially good looking guy, that got turned into a big, not especially good looking woman.  He hadn't been with us long enough to qualify for a medical leave of absence.

I don’t suppose you were close enough to him to know how it went and if he had any regrets?

I’m very disappointed in this pick.

Well, that cuts me out.

Me too.  I actually have no problem with them existing per se.  Adults have a right to have transgender surgery (aka mutilate themselves; it should be illegal for children) so if an adult needs a ride, fine.  I still wouldn’t pilot them though because I personally believe trans surgeries are not the panacea they pretend to be, are wrought with complications and just an overall terrible idea, so I could never enable them.

As for abortion I could never enable that either (rare exception of a severely deformed fetus).  I am not going to fly someone so they can have their healthy baby killed.  Hell no, no way.  But abortion is a state issue, and as such I have a problem with a state outlawing travel to another state to have a procedure which is legal in that other state.  That seems unconstitutional to me.  So the rise of a service like this is inevitable in that context so these women can anonymously travel.  I might not be happy with these pilots, nor respect them, but I would be opposed to outlawing what they’re doing.  We have freedom of travel between states and the right not to have government tracking our whereabouts and what we’re up to.

I do kinda have a problem with them being a non-profit and writing it off as charity like regular Angel Flight. Abortions and trans surgeries are NOT necessary medical treatment, and should not be supported in any way by taxpayers, which they are if you’re giving them a tax write off. 

This is nothing like flying cancer patients around like my husband did.  The implication of a comparison is kind of offensive.

so they'd turn down a free flight if the pilot/owner didn't share their beliefs?

Apparently. Not only must you “align with their mission and goals”, you must undergo sensitivity training so as not to offend your passenger, like misgendering them, or talking to them at all.

The right to associate (or not) with others of like interests seems reasonable to me.
What's your position on animal rescue flights?

Must love dogs or you can’t fly with us.

The communist are laying the ground work for a lawfare election this November, and they aren't hiding it.   The Biden "Superstructure" is part of the plan to paint the republicans as "election stealers".  Expect lawsuits in several states alleging election tampering, and this time the lawsuits will have standing and will be heard.  Of course, they will drag out for years, but it will prevent states from certifying their elections.

Yes, this is their plan, because they probably can't print enough ballots to overcome the landslide.  Here is today's projection from mediabiasfactcheck.com.  The link:  https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/electoral-college-map-2024-biden-vs-trump/

Does not seem to be associated with regular Angel Flight.

“All of our pilots complete a vetting process to confirm they align with our mission and goals.”

Republicans need not apply!

  As with Trump.   The democrat communist have made it clear they want a totalitarian style "election" with only one candidate (theirs).

  The election of 2024 will be pivotal for the USA.  If the democrat communist get their way, we will officially be under a one party rule.   If that happens, I predict a break up of the USA.

Unless the secessionists pussy out.  I’m not sure anything will happen until people are hungry.

I did it.  I told my husband I wanted to buy $500 worth of that new Truth Social stock and he said, “Make it a thousand.”  Screw figuring out how to buy a stock myself.  I just emailed our investment guy and directed him to buy us $1000 of Trump’s new Truth Social stock and I told him, no, I don't care if it’s not a good investment. I just want to play!

HA!

The Biden Administration is calling for a nationwide gun ban due to this incident.

I hope you meant to put that in green font.

I've been on that bridge many times. Fortunately this took place at 1:30AM.

I heard on the radio they got some warning out and some cars were stopped before getting on the bridge.  From the video you could see cars and trucks going along but by the time it hit the support there were none that I could see. But apparently there were a few.

From my sailing days, once the wind hits you on the beam the boat starts turning.  If the wind was from the left and with an outbound current... the wind turns the bow right, the current moves the stern left and there you go.  It did have bow thrusters but those only work for docking at low speeds.  It tried to drop anchor but too little too late.

Yeah I thought it did..
