Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines has officially filed for bankruptcy protection as the airline faces mounting losses and debts. Spirit has struggled since a planned merger with JetBlue Airways earlier this year collapsed after a court ruling blocked the $3.8 billion acquisition. “Spirit listed its assets and liabilities between $1 billion and $10 billion, in a court filing,” CNBC stated. CEO Ted Christie said the airline expects to continue operating and attempted to reassure customers they can still book tickets, fly, and use loyalty points on the budget carrier. “The most important thing to know is that you can continue to book and fly now and in the future,” Christie said, according to CNBC.  This morning Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy. Eight months ago, the Biden DOJ bragged about "protecting consumers" by nuking Spirit's merger with JetBlue.

Its shares have fallen more than 90% this year. The airline had repeatedly pushed back a deadline with its credit card processor to renegotiate $1.1 billion in loyalty bonds due next year or risk losing the ability to process transactions. It said Monday that it had reached a deal with bondholders for $350 million in equity and that noteholders will swap $795 million for equity. Spirit’s stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange as a result of its filing, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York. Last week, Spirit said it had to delay its quarterly filing and said it was in discussions for a deal with a majority of creditors that would not affect customers, vendors, suppliers and others, but that would wipe out the company’s existing equity.

Previous post :https://t.co/lQR0l3Ezv7#Airlines pic.twitter.com/WZS5gzJlpy — FL360aero (@fl360aero) November 18, 2024 Fox Business reports: The Points Guy founder Brian Kelly said filing for bankruptcy doesn’t mean the company is “closing up shop,” a message he believes Spirit is trying to convey to its customers. “They need consumers to be confident in the airline,” Kelly told FOX Business. “They’re already struggling as it is today, so if people start booking on other carriers, that’s going to spell even more trouble for the airline. And they clearly want to survive this process.” Despite the airlines’ reassurances, Kelly believes that travelers will inevitably feel the impact. He pointed to the fact that Spirit has already cut back on different routes, announced plans to furlough pilots and sell aircraft. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing last month, the ultra-low-cost carrier said it identified approximately $80 million in annualized cost reductions that it plans to implement next year. This won’t necessarily impact holiday travel, but it could impact future 2025 travel plans, according to Kelly. “What that means for the traveler is if you booked far out on Spirit, there’s a very good chance your flight time may get drastically changed or your flight canceled altogether,” he said.

This is pretty hilarious…. You’ve probably all seen the photo by now, it’s gone absolutely viral. In fact, Don Jr. says he thinks it’s the most viral photo he’s ever posted. President Trump, Elon Musk, Don Jr. and RFK Jr. sitting down for some McDonald grub as they leave the the fight in NYC and fly back home to Mar-a-Lago. It’s an iconic photo already, seeing so many legends together, but zooming in on Mr. MAHA himself, RFK Jr., as he holds a Big Mac shows he is less than thrilled with the circumstances he finds himself in! What an absolutely classic face! Love seeing the two Junior’s hanging out together! But what’s the backstory to this photo? Don Jr. went on with Charlie Kirk and spilled the beans… He joked that it’s like when you’re in the mob and you suspect you might have an undercover cop in your midst, you sometimes make them do a little drugs….hilarious!  We’ve gotta test this guy to make sure he’s “cool”. As Bobby Kennedy is going to rightfully clean up America, is he cool enough to splurge on a Big Mac at 3am on a private jet back home? Because we all know 3am McDonalds is by far the BEST McDonalds of course! But then Charlie pressed him again asking, “But how did you actually get him to eat it?” Don Jr. explained “we just told him MAGA starts on Monday.” CLASSIC! We’ve all been there, right? That one last splurge?  The diet can start on Monday, right now it’s Saturday night and I’m slamming some pizza and fast food!  The diet starts next week! What a classic line. Watch here: Don Jr. goes behind the scenes on his historic plane ride with Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and President Trump, and how they got RFK Jr. to agree to a 3am McDonald’s run. https://t.co/YaGD2n9t8k pic.twitter.com/8lMfTDU55s — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 18, 2024 Backup video here if needed: Don Jr. goes behind the scenes on his historic plane ride with Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and President Trump, and how they got RFK Jr. to agree to a 3am McDonald’s run. pic.twitter.com/V1kO466lCh — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) November 18, 2024 Don Jr. RFK, Jr. Just missing one other Jr., aren’t we?

When the Democrats, RINOs and all around Deep State throw a massive hissy fit at President Trump’s selection of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, you know we’ve 100% got the right guy slated for the job. That’s easy to tell. But I wanted to take a moment and give a little more color about WHY I think he’s the right man for the job. Let’s take a little walk down memory lane… Credit to my friend MJTruth for doing a great job pulling this together: This is one of the reasons they’re Panicking about Matt Gaetz being picked as Attorney General He caught the FBI on record, admitting they ‘don’t know’ where Hunter Biden’s laptop was… and then he submitted it into congressional record. • we have your texts• we have your… pic.twitter.com/b83CrfODWf — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) November 18, 2024 This is one of the reasons they’re Panicking about Matt Gaetz being picked as Attorney General He caught the FBI on record, admitting they ‘don’t know’ where Hunter Biden’s laptop was… and then he submitted it into congressional record. • we have your texts • we have your emails • we have the payments from Burisma • we have your travel records • we even know the Chinese communists who own you. Matt Gaetz as AG = they Fooked Let’s watch Video #1 together here: WOW!!!!!

Here is Gaetz running circles around the Deputy FBI Director and just peppering him with one knock out punch after another. But until now, all we’ve ever had is people who bark a lot in Congress but don’t really have much power beyond that. Jim Jordan has been notorious for this. They put on their little dog and pony show, they get some great soundbites and land some zingers….the person in the hot seat gets beat up, but it’s all mostly for show.  Nothing ever changes. But now imagine that very same Matt Gaetz with the entire power of the DOJ behind him as Attorney General. Imagine he’s no longer shackled to a seat in Congress with little actual power…. With Gaetz I’ve always sensed real passion, not just a Dog and Pony show. And I think that’s why they’re so terrified. Now let’s watch clip #2 together: Matt Gaetz telling Hunter Biden and Joe Biden he has it all!!! pic.twitter.com/mxOs23sVwf — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) November 18, 2024 This is Matt Gaetz at Turning Point USA, basically telling the crowd “we have it all!” Listen for the confidence and joy as he speaks….it’s almost like he knew what was coming next, a Trump win following by Matt Gaetz AG. Now once again imagine this same Matt Gaetz is not just speaking at Turning Point USA, but imagine him as Attorney General with the full power of the DOJ behind him. And THAT, my friends, is why they’re so terrified of this appointment. RELATED REPORTS: BREAKING: Rep. Matt Gaetz Resigns From Congress HUGE: President Trump Nominates Rep.

President Trump has responded to MSNBC’s hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski going on air announcing they visited Mar-a-Lago to “open communications.” Scarborough stated during the recent airing of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, “We didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so.” Scarborough shared, “What we did agree on was to restart communications, in this meeting, he was upbeat, cheerful and he seemed interested in finding common ground on some of the most divisive issues.” In response to MSNBC’s host announcement, Trump, in an interview with Fox News, shared, “We met at Mar-a-Lago on Friday morning at 8:00.” Many things were discussed, and I very much appreciated the fact that they wanted to have open communication.” MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika went to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump and agreed to “reset” their relationship.

Good on Trump for accepting their offer. pic.twitter.com/VCIX4lTJbL — Patrick Bet-David (@patrickbetdavid) November 18, 2024 Per The Times of India: President-elect Donald Trump in an exclusive interview on Fox News Monday morning said he is not looking for “retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly”. He said he is in the process of transforming America into the greatest and most powerful country in the world which will have free, fair and open media. “In order to Make America Great Again, it is very important, if not vital, to have a free, fair and open media or press,” Trump said. Trump’s interview came as MSNBC’s Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski announced in their program today that they went to Mar-a-Lago to meet the President-elect — to explore common ground, to patch things up and to collaborate without stopping to ask him questions. The meeting was a first in seven years and the anti-Trump hosts said Trump was upbeat and cheerful at the meeting. Trump says he received a call from Joe Scarborough In the Fox interview, Donald Trump reacted to his interaction with the ‘Morning Joe’ hosts and said he looks forward to such meetings with other media houses too. “I received a call from Joe Scarborough requesting a meeting for him and Mika, and I agreed that it would be a good thing if such meeting took place,” Trump said. “We met at Mar-a-Lago on Friday morning at 8:00.” “Many things were discussed, and I very much appreciated the fact that they wanted to have open communication,” he said. “In many ways, it’s too bad that it wasn’t done long ago.” Trump added that they “congratulated me on running a ‘great and flawless campaign, one for the history books,’ which I really believe it was, but it was also a campaign where I worked long and hard — perhaps longer and harder than any presidential candidate in history.” “We talked about various Cabinet members — both announced and to be announced. As expected, they like some very much, but not all,” Trump said. “The meeting ended in a very positive manner, and we agreed to speak in the future.” “If not treated fairly, however, that will end,” Trump said. “The media is very important to the long-term success of the United States of America.” Morning Joe then: Donald Trump is comparable to Adolf Hitler. Morning Joe now: We met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to settle our differences. pic.twitter.com/UkfMt9ScuP — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 18, 2024 Per The New York Post: Lefty MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were ripped for flip-flopping hypocrisy Monday when they revealed they met privately with President-elect Donald Trump after years of viciously criticizing him. The defeated MSNBC anchors — who have slammed Trump in the past as a “fascist” and compared him to Adolf Hitler — had a face-to-face with the winning Republican at his Mar-a-Lago estate Friday to “restart communications” after conceding that Americans had overwhelmingly made their choice by re-electing him. The ensuing backlash against the pair was swift from all sides, with many blasting Scarborough and Brzezinski for their “shamelessness” — as others raged they were “bending the knee” and “kissing the ring” by arranging their first sit-down with him in seven years.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly blew up on one of Trump’s top aides for allegedly leaking information to the media.

Last Wednesday, the tension between the two men reportedly reached a boiling point at Trump’s Florida estate. Dinner guests witnessed a “massive blowup” and a “huge explosion” as Musk lashed out at Epshteyn about tipping off the media, the outlet reported. “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Epshteyn, who gave Trump legal advice during his recent criminal trials, reportedly fired back.

President Trump has surpassed pop star Taylor Swift’s follower count on X. As of yesterday, Trump has 94,754,047 followers on X, while Taylor Swift has 94,731,484. In total, Trump has over 22,563 more followers than Swift. In September, Trump posted on Trith Social that he “hated” Taylor Swift after the pop star announced she was endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

Follow: @AFpost pic.twitter.com/lwShL7aQkF — AF Post (@AFpost) November 18, 2024 Per Essentially Sports: This year, two big things had everyone in America buzzing. One, of course, is the NFL, but that happens every year. The second was the U.S. Presidential Election. Now that’s something people couldn’t stop talking about. Everyone was waiting on the edge of their seats to find out who the 47th president would be. And despite all the drama and controversies swirling around, Donald Trump pulled it off and snagged the win. And guess what? After beating Kamala Harris, Trump managed to surpass pop icon Taylor Swift. To be exact, Trump now has 94,754,047 followers on X, while Taylor Swift has 94,731,484. That’s 22,563 more followers than the “Shake It Off” singer! It’s pretty wild considering Swift’s global fanbase, but Trump has certainly made a splash in the social media world​. Taylor Swift has been a digital queen on X for ages. She’s got that cultural dominance, boosted by her world tours and chart-topping albums. She’s not only followed in America, but has millions of fans worldwide. On the flip side, Trump has been in the spotlight, especially since his 2015 presidential campaign. He won the 2016 election, becoming the 45th President of the United States. A businessman by trade, he became the first U.S. president with no military or government background. And just when you think he can’t get any more unpredictable, here he is, taking down Swift on X. Adding another chapter to his public shenanigans! Taylor Swift has never been shy about her dislike for Trump. With their differing ideologies, it’s no surprise they’ve had a pretty tense relationship over the years. The whole feud started back in 2018 when Swift publicly backed Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen over Republican Marsha Blackburn. During this election, Taylor Swift was also pretty vocal about supporting Kamala Harris. BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP NOW HAS MORE FOLLOWERS THAN TAYLOR SWIFT ON X!
