WOEING: Alaska holds Boeing accountable, wants to be made whole for $150M in losses.

“It’s not acceptable what happened. We’re gonna hold them accountable. And we’re going to raise the bar on quality on Boeing,” said Alaska Air Group CEO Ben Minicucci. “We’re gonna hold Boeing’s feet to the fire to make sure that we get good airplanes out of that factory.”

Alaska said it has begun “a thorough review of Boeing’s production quality and control systems.”

And to validate the “quality of our aircraft as they progress through the manufacturing process,” it has expanded oversight of Boeing’s MAX assembly lines in Renton.

The Airbus sales pitches practically write themselves.

ELECTIONS: Voters: ‘Bidenomics’ a loser, will help Trump win.

GOOGLE CENSORS BAN GALILEO AS ‘DANGEROUS:’ Oh, did I say Galileo? I meant Issues & Insights (I&I), the excellent libertarian/conservative news and analysis site established by former Investor’s Business Daily editorial page writers.

Even so, the point of the purposeful Galileo reference should be obvious: Just as the  censors of his view the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, the I&I folks refuse to toe the Establishment’s increasingly hateful and censorious Leftist orthodoxy, especially when it comes to former President Donald Trump.

For their independence, I&I is branded by Google as “dangerous” because it allegedly publishes “derogatory content.” The Left exterminated more than 100 million human lives in the 20th Century and the opportunity for vastly more men and women to hear alternative views and cultivate their own conclusions in the 21st Century. No wonder so many folks these days look around and fear that a new Dark Ages are around the corner. It doesn’t have to be that way.

UPDATE: Oh geez, this is what happens when you are rushing. This post has been updated to reflect the fact Galileo was advocating for the Sun as the center of the solar system, not that the Earth was round. My apologies to readers for this screwup and thanks to reader GWB for pointing out my error.

ANOTHER LEFTY BRAND SELF-DESTRUCTS: TED Fellows Resign after Bill Ackman, Bari Weiss Invited to Speak at Conference.

Five participants in the TED fellows program, which supports and promotes emerging voices in a variety of fields across the globe, resigned Wednesday after the public-speaking organization invited hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman and journalist Bari Weiss to speak at its 2024 flagship conference in Vancouver. The five fellows — self-described inventor Ayah Bdeir, filmmaker Saeed Taji Farouky, cosmologist Renée Hlozek, artist Sarah Sandman, and astronomer Lucianne Walkowicz — sent a letter to TED leader Chris Anderson and fellows program director Lily James Olds. Titled “TED Fellows refuse to be associated with genocide apologists,” the letter accused TED of choosing “not only to align itself with enablers and supporters of genocide, but to amplify their racist propaganda.”
