DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES:

There was just one problem…

It violates FAA rules.

So what did they do?

City attorney Miko Brown allegedly urged the airport to fabricate an investigation into the airline’s safety record to cover up for illegally discriminating against the airline for political reasons.

When word got out, Brown and Mayor Mike Johnston flat out denied it.

However CBS just obtained an internal airport memo appearing to reveal the entire thing was true.

Throw the book at them.

HOW TO FIND THE MISSING MIDDLE IN HOUSING: Those aging suburbs around your town are likely not changing from an aging generation whose children have grown up because nobody is selling, even if there were young couples trying to buy. There are reasons for that, especially public tax policies that discourage empty nesters to put up For Sale signs according to the Institute for Family Studies (IFS):

“When seniors are locked into homes their children have long since left, those homes never reach the next generation of parents, and the neighborhoods where today’s adults grew up are closed to their own kids,” according to a deep-dive data analysis from IFS.

Why should anybody care?

“Unlocking those homes would do more than house young families. Aging owners freed to downsize could also move closer to their children and grandchildren, easing the hands-on caregiving that flows in both directions across generations—grandparents minding grandchildren, adult children looking after aging parents—and lessening the public cost of institutional care,” IFS reports.

DHIMMITUDE: Tucker Carlson Says He Used to Criticize Islam, but Now He Sees the Light. “Compounding Tucker Carlson’s dishonesty here is the fact that he is also making claims about Islam and dismissing those claims as ‘hysterical,’ and will never allow anyone who believes that there is a problem with Islam, or that the problem is Islam, onto his show to discuss it with him. He is, of course, free to feature anyone he wants, but his is not exactly a platform for open and honest discussion of the relevant issues that will allow for opinions that differ from those that Tucker Carlson holds. That also is his right, but when he makes sweeping claims that are false, as he does here, he does his audience an even greater disservice than usual. What about the Qur’an’s violent teachings? What about Islam’s doctrines of conquest and subjugation? Do they simply not exist now because Tucker Carlson says they’re hysterical?”
