Airbnb has banned Michelle Malkin, blocking the right-wing political commentator from booking reservations on its platform, the company confirmed last week.
Malkin, who has aligned herself in recent months with Nick Fuentes’ America First movement, said on Twitter Wednesday that she and her husband had been banned from staying at Airbnb locations. The vacation rental company deleted Malkin’s account because of her participation in the 2021 American Renaissance Conference, according to an email Malkin posted online.
“It has come to our attention that you were a keynote speaker for the 2021 American Renaissance Conference earlier this month in Tennessee,” the email said. “Airbnb’s community policies prohibit people who are members of or actively associate with known hate groups. Due to your promotion and participation in a known white nationalist and white supremacist conference, we have determined that we will remove your account from Airbnb. This is consistent with action we’ve taken to ban people associated with this conference in past years.”
The platform confirmed Malkin’s ban in a statement to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/michelle-malkin-banned-from-airbnb-after-attending-hate-fest">The Daily Beast</a> on Wednesday. “Consistent with our policies, if we become aware of users who are members of or are actively affiliated with hate groups, we remove them from Airbnb,” spokesman Ben Breit said.
Malkin gave a speech at the American Renaissance Conference titled “Race, Immigration, and Con. Inc: How I Came to See the Light.” The conference is an annual event put on by the race-essentialist outlet <a href="https://www.amren.com/about/">American Renaissance</a> which claims that “[r]ace is an important aspect of individual and group identity” and “whites, like all racial groups, have legitimate interests that must be defended.”
In an <a href="https://prescottenews.com/index.php/2022/02/06/opinion-why-airbnb-banned-me-and-my-hubby-too-michelle-malkin/?amp=1">opinion piece</a> published last week, Malkin suggested that the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League’s classification of American Renaissance as a “hate group” played a role in her ban from Airbnb. It is unclear how much, if at all, Airbnb coordinates with the SPLC and ADL in its decisions to ban users. Airbnb did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment.
“In November, I spoke at a peaceful conference held by an organization that is deemed a ‘hate group’ by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League,” Malkin wrote. “A week after my talk, San Francisco-based Airbnb notified me that I was banned from using its services ever again and imperiously deleted my account. Poof!”
The SPLC and ADL, left-leaning groups that claim to monitor hate and extremism, both consider American Renaissance to be a white supremacist outlet. The SPLC and ADL have come under fire in the past over claims that the groups unfairly malign right-wing people and organizations.
Malkin said Airbnb’s actions against her are part of an “ideological witch hunt” against “anyone deemed an ‘extremist’” and said that she had been a target of such “hunts” by the SPLC and ADL since 2002 when she published her first book, “Invasion.”
“But this latest salvo crosses the line,” Malkin wrote. “It’s not enough that I — a ‘woman of color’ (the left’s own descriptive label, not mine) and mother of two multiracial children — was pronounced guilty of ‘hate’ crimes and ‘promotion’ of ‘white supremacist’ ideas for delivering a speech whose full content Airbnb didn’t even bother to obtain from me. The Airbnb bullies also banned my equally nonviolent, nonhateful husband — who did not attend the conference and who is not a public figure or activist.”
Airbnb took action against Malkin’s husband’s account in addition to her own because “[a]s we can see that your Airbnb travels are typically reserved via your husband’s account, we will also proceed in removing his account,” according to the email Malkin posted.
“Neither of us had ever had a negative review, complaint or policy violation of any kind. Are my kids next? Are yours?” Malkin wrote. “Take note: You’re damned right I spoke peacefully and lawfully to the peaceful and lawful 2021 American Renaissance Conference and was honored to receive a warm welcome.”
“I resoundingly reject the notion that condemning Black Lives Matter and antifa terrorists constitutes ‘hate.’ I defy the Airbnb thought police who consider my husband and me ‘untrustworthy’ and ‘dangerous’ threats to community safety on par with convicted felons and sex traffickers,” she continued. “God willing, and with my readers’ and viewers’ help, I will fight these speech-stifling bigots who think they can get away with retaliating against me and my family for my journalism and activism.”

Airbnb Confirms Ban On Commentator Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin is a public speaker, columnist, news contributor, and bestselling author who has dedicated her career to exposing corruption at the highest, and often the lowest, points in government. In her latest book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Open-Borders-Inc-Funding-America/dp/1621579719" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open Borders Inc.: Who&#8217;s Funding America&#8217;s Destruction</a>,” Malkin goes in-depth into the power brokers, politicians, activists, and religious leaders who are doing their best to keep the American borders open to anyone and everyone who wants to come through, even if they are a danger to themselves and to others. Not a single celebrity, community organizer, or lawmaker is safe if they have crossed the line.
Like a laser beam, Malkin exposes the players who are fighting immigration reform to make sure that immigrants come in at an alarming rate. Social justice protesters want a cause to rally around. Corporate bosses, from New York to Silicon Valley, want to keep the cheap labor pouring in so they can keep wages low. The religious Left wants to bring in people to fill their pews. Democrats want to continue bringing in voters to keep themselves in power. She leaves no stone unturned when calling out those who would risk the lives of American citizens to keep their coffers full. 
One of the most interesting things about the book is Malkin’s boldness. She has no problem naming names. While most writers dance around a suspect or drop innuendo, she lets every person know exactly what she thinks about the pandering that a person, group, or company do on behalf of the open borders crowd. Hollywood celebrities, left-wing donors, religious leaders, and even certain members of the Conservative and Libertarian upper echelon are brought to the attention of the reader – and you read scandal after scandal related to the border.  
Another sobering point in the book is the description of the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens. From public officials to ordinary citizens, the open borders crisis has lead to crimes such as destruction of property, theft, and drug dealing to much more serious crimes like rape and murder. Not lost on the reader is the mainstream media’s decision not to discuss these victims, fearing either being described as racist or to hide the crimes in collusion with the open borders advocates. Whichever it is, as Malkin notes, this does a severe disservice to the numerous victims’ families and to the communities where they lived. 
What might give the book a large impact is that it’s an easy read. Malkin avoids bogging the reader down with deep narration and focuses on relaying the truth of the situation. It reminded me of “Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies,” another one of Malkin’s books that had a way of connecting with its reader without overloading them with large amounts of repetitive data.
“Open Borders Inc.” is Michelle Malkin’s latest bold endeavor to keep the American people informed about what goes on behind the scenes with lawmakers, unelected bureaucrats, and their allies in the private sector.

On Saturday, Andy Ngo, an editor for Quillette who is openly gay and has been critical of Antifa in the past, was brutally attacked by masked Antifa thugs, who punched him in the face, kicked him, doused him with &#8220;milkshakes&#8221; filled with wet cement, and stole his GoPro — an assault perpetrated in the middle of a protest march in broad daylight and caught on video. Ngo was later taken to the hospital &#8220;as a result of a brain bleed,&#8221; according to his lawyer Harmeet K. Dhillon.
In response, conservative commentator Michelle Malkin started a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/protect-andy-ngo-fund">GoFundMe</a> account to support him. The account has rapidly surpassed its financial goal.
&#8220;Lovers of liberty and supporters of independent media,&#8221; Malkin&#8217;s page for Ngo begins. &#8220;My friend, Portland, Oregon-based journalist Andy Ngo, was beaten and robbed today by Antifa while covering the latest paroxysms of left-wing violence. Andy has been singled out, doxxed, and targeted by SJW thugs while police stand by and do nothing.&#8221;
&#8220;I said during my CPAC speech earlier this year that we need to stand with those reporting and fighting on the front lines. Andy is one of the intrepid journalists doing the job no one else will do,&#8221; writes Malkin. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been in touch with him and he has given me the green light to create this fund. All funds will help him continue his invaluable work. We need him back in action ASAP. And if you work in law enforcement or private security, please contact me directly to help form an effective security plan to keep Andy safe.&#8221;
Malkin includes video of the alarming assault as well as the video Ngo posted immediately afterward:

The account has a stated goal of $50,000, which it has more than doubled. As of Monday morning, the account has amassed over $137,000 in donations from over 4,000 donors.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49021/three-arrests-made-after-violent-antifa-riots-amanda-prestigiacomo">The Daily Wire</a> reported Sunday, at least three Antifa protesters have been arrested following the violent demonstration. &#8220;It’s unclear, however, if any of the arrests were made in connection with the attack on Mr. Ngo,&#8221; noted Daily Wire&#8217;s Amanda Prestigiacomo. <a href="http://www.kptv.com/news/protesters-march-in-downtown-portland-police-seek-information-on-assaults/article_d3f35428-9aa9-11e9-b5de-0fd89e448b1c.html">Fox 12 Oregon</a> provides details on the charges against the three protesters, two males and one female, all in their early 20s: One was arrested on second-degree assault and assault on a public safety officer, another for harassment, and the third for second-degree disorderly conduct and harassment.
Ngo&#8217;s lawyer posted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49028/lawyer-journalist-beaten-during-portland-riot-amanda-prestigiacomo">statement</a> early Monday directed at the thugs involved in the attack announcing that she is going to sue them &#8220;into oblivion.&#8221;
Along with Malkin and the 4,000+ donors to his GoFundMe page, Ngo has gained the support of U.S. ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, who <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/49026/us-ambassador-gives-health-update-journalist-amanda-prestigiacomo">demanded</a> on social media that the Justice Department investigate the attack. &#8220;This was a pre-meditated attack on someone because intolerant radicals don’t like that Andy happens to be gay, Asian and conservative,&#8221; wrote Grenell. &#8220;They targeted him publicly before their protest. Mayor @tedwheeler knew this was coming. The people of Oregon must speak up today.&#8221;

CRTV host and bestselling author Michelle Malkin discusses migration in the latest Prager University video, &#8220;<a href="https://www.prageru.com/videos/nation-immigrants">A Nation Of Immigrants</a>.&#8221; She dispels some of the far-left myths surrounding immigration and explains how the United States is one of the most welcoming countries in the world. 
Malkin opens by discussing how leftists in the Democrat Party, such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have used immigration as a way to virtue-signal. 
As Malkin points out, &#8220;Just one problem: It&#8217;s not true.&#8221;
&#8220;The United States still maintains the most generous immigration policies in the world. Generous to a fault &#8230; because the overwhelming numbers have stymied our ability to assimilate the huddled masses,&#8221; Malkin continues. &#8220;How did we get here? For starters, America grants permanent residence to a million people every single year. And that&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg because of something you&#8217;ve probably heard referred to as &#8216;chain migration.&#8217;&#8221;
Malkin goes to explain how immigration is affecting institutions and social programs, including welfare and hospitals. 
&#8220;This non-stop flow of new legal immigrants,&#8221; she says, &#8220;&#8230; has, of course, been supplemented by millions who enter the country illegally and stay illegally.&#8221;
Malkin breaks down how the Left&#8217;s allies in the mainstream media spin coverage of the immigration issue to further their agenda. 
&#8220;Dominant media outlets use the euphemism &#8216;undocumented,&#8217; but the official U.S. government term used in federal statutes is &#8216;illegal alien&#8217;: an unlawful entrant who came without permission and stays in open defiance of our laws,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The number of illegal aliens in the country is usually given as 11 million, but have you noticed that number never seems to change? Common sense suggests it&#8217;s higher &#8230; much higher.&#8221;
Malkin suggests building a border wall, ending chain migration, and upgrading the national database for immigrants seeking to live in the United States. 
She continues, &#8220;But all solutions will ultimately fail unless we get control of the numbers and enforce our laws consistently. It&#8217;s Sovereignty 101: This is our home and we have not only the right, but the responsibility, to determine who comes in, how many come in, and what qualities and qualifications they bring.&#8221;

I thought we had seen it all from radical feminists &#8212; and what we&#8217;ve seen is way, way more than anyone other than a gynecologist needs to see.
Six years ago, Code Pink zealots traipsed across the fruited plain in giant female reproductive organ costumes demanding &#8220;respect&#8221; for women&#8217;s bodies and women&#8217;s abortion rights. They called themselves &#8220;dancing vaginas.&#8221;
Last January, militant femmes converged on the National Mall donning pink pussy hats, twirling nipple umbrellas, chanting, &#8220;Build a uterine wall!&#8221; and waving defiant posters that boasted &#8220;I DON&#8217;T REGRET MY ABORTION.&#8221;
Last fall, actress Martha Plimpton (of &#8220;Goonies&#8221; fame long, long ago) bragged publicly that her first and &#8220;best&#8221; abortion took place at a Seattle Planned Parenthood. Plimpton promotes a movement to #ShoutYourAbortion. Adoring fans cheered and laughed as she assured them it was &#8220;heads and tails above the rest&#8221; of her multiple abortions. &#8220;If I could Yelp review it,&#8221; she cracked, &#8220;I totally would.&#8221;
Goodbye, &#8220;Goonies.&#8221; Hello, ghoulies.
Nothing to date, though, can top the Independence Day holiday display of grotesqueries committed in the name of &#8220;choice.&#8221; On the day we should unite as a nation to celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, prominent Aborticrats and their Hollywood court jesters were throwing a parade &#8212; literally &#8212; over the mass slaughter of the unborn.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer tweeted: &#8220;Today, I am celebrating the FREEDOM of women to make their own health care decisions, as established by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade.&#8221;
Schumer has lied about Planned Parenthood providing &#8220;mammograms, maternity care, cancer screenings &amp; more.&#8221; As pro-life Live Action&#8217;s Lila Rose reported, &#8220;The reality is, Planned Parenthood does zero mammograms, performs less than two percent of women&#8217;s cancer screenings in the U.S., offers virtually no prenatal care, yet does over a third of the nation&#8217;s abortions &#8212; 887 abortions every day.&#8221; One of NARAL and Planned Parenthood&#8217;s most ardent champions, Schumer high-fived colleagues in January after spearheading efforts to kill a bill banning late-term abortions past 20 weeks.
Three bloody cheers for butchery!
Riding the same wicked wavelength, &#8220;comedian&#8221; Michelle Wolf starred in a patriotic holiday special last week on Netflix to lead &#8220;The Break&#8217;s&#8221; 10th Annual Salute to Abortion.
&#8220;Some people say abortion is &#8216;killing a baby.&#8217; It&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s stopping a baby from happening,&#8221; she jibed. &#8220;It&#8217;s like &#8216;Back to the Future&#8217; and abortion is the DeLorean. Everyone loves DeLoreans.&#8221;
Accompanied by a marching band, the Netflix star rallied: &#8220;Women, don&#8217;t forget: You have the power to give life, and men will try to control that. Don&#8217;t let them!&#8221; Tossing red, white and blue confetti, she shrieked:
&#8220;God bless abortions, and God bless America!&#8221;
The shock is not that this desperately thirsty clown can cackle callously about killing for cheap laughs. The real outrage is that she would be nowhere without the seal of approval of the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association, which gave her a coveted platform just a few months ago to jape:
&#8220;Mike Pence is also very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which, first of all, don&#8217;t knock it till you try it! And when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you gotta get that baby out of there.&#8221;
Where are the demands for the Beltway press corps that giggled through that macabre monologue to disavow the She-Wolf?
Where are the compassionate liberals speaking up for women and men suffering from abortion regret or grisly botched procedures? What about the countless minority victims of predators posing as &#8220;reproductive health providers&#8221;?
Who will memorialize the unborn babies and moms who suffered at the hands of serial abortionist killer Kermit Gosnell? Who will shout the name of Tonya Reaves, a black female patient at Planned Parenthood&#8217;s Loop Health Center in Chicago, who died after the staff performed a careless abortion on her and neglected her for more than five hours while she bled to death?
The same hysterical voices shrieking, &#8220;Where have all the children gone?&#8221; last week at the border have nothing to say about the nearly 60 million lives snuffed out on U.S. soil since Roe v. Wade.
Silence is complicity.
Silence equals death.

On Thursday, conservative author and commentator Michelle Malkin appeared on Fox News to offer her take on the Kate Steinle case verdict.
Speaking with Sean Hannity, Malkin said:
<blockquote>
My outrage is laden with melancholy because I have reported and investigated on so many of these cases over the last 25 years, and there has been so little, if any, accountability for people in the federal, state, and local government who have blood on their hands. Kate Steinle and her family never wanted or wished for the publicity that they&#8217;ve gotten, the pain that they&#8217;ve suffered, and the fact that they have no choice but to be front and center in the headlines as they suffer as a result of this verdict.
This really is, I think, a damning indictment of so-called San Francisco values. Where is Nancy Pelosi tonight? Where has she been for the last 25 years? This is her city, and it is her open borders policies that have haunted so many innocent people and innocent lives in San Francisco.
And it is the conversion of America into a sanctuary nation instead of a sovereign nation that has endangered us &#8211; and it is one of the primary reasons that President Trump was elected in the first place. Because people made a choice after seeing this fork in the road, after seeing both political parties, Sean, both Republicans, and their big business donors, and Democrats, and their identity politics grievance-mongers who don&#8217;t care about the rule of law in this country, and the collusion between those two things that have created sanctuary policies and a sanctuary nation that still exists to this day.
When will this city and county sheriff in San Francisco, and that mayor, and that governor ever be held accountable for the deaths as a result of bloody open borders?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has a long history of voting against border security measures and policies that would harm sanctuary cities:

Given her voting history, it&#8217;s unlikely that Rep. Pelosi would ever change her tune regarding the security of America&#8217;s southern border.

A new conservative network has just been announced: Conservative Review TV. Conservative icons Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn will highlight CRTV, which is scheduled to launch in December. Levin&#8217;s popular online program LevinTV will be among the shows offered by the new network. 
Malkin&#8217;s program will be called Michelle Malkin Investigates, in which the syndicated columnist will provide some hard-hitting, investigative journalism to highlight stories that the mainstream media refuses to cover, as seen in her preview below:

The Mark Steyn Show will discuss politics and culture, while bringing true intellectual diversity that is sorely lacking on cable news.
Excerpt of <a href="https://www.crtv.com/press-release-list/2016/october/introducing-crtv">CRTV&#8217;s press release</a> below:
<blockquote>
&#8220;We have partnered with the best thinkers and storytellers out there and given each the resources to design their own show in their own voice on their own custom set reflective of each of their personalities&#8221; according to Chris Crane, Chief Content Officer. &#8220;When CRTV officially launches in December 2016, subscribers will be able to access new and original shows in development from Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn, joining Mark Levin&#8217;s highly successful Levin TV®.&#8221;
&#8220;With the huge success of LevinTV launched earlier this year, we decided to accelerate plans. We know people have rejected liberal media bias and there is an enormous demand for straight, bold, conservative talk and they will get it here from a wide variety of talent. This is much bigger than any of us. It is about our beloved audience.&#8221; said Mark Levin. &#8220;This is a movement with millions of liberty lovers who know cable TV content doesn&#8217;t square with their world-view. Proudly conservative in content, CRTV will allow popular personalities, presenting scholarly thought, culture to comedy, the liberty to be themselves. And, viewers will have the freedom to consume straightforward, candid, unfiltered, commercial-free, content whenever and wherever they want.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Levin delved further into the announcement of CRTV in his Monday radio show. &#8220;This is truly alternative media,&#8221; Levin said. &#8220;It&#8217;s truly cutting-edge technology applied to digital TV, in the case of Samsung, to real TV.&#8221;
Levin said that CRTV will be available on Samsung&#8217;s Smart Hub.
People can subscribe to CRTV before it launches in December for $89 a year, and after that point the subscription rate will $99 a year. There will also be a $12 per month rate that subscribers can choose. LevinTV subscribers will get the upgrade to CRTV for free until their subscription runs out.
Conservatives are stoked about the pending CRTV launch:

New Conservative TV Network: Levin, Malkin, Steyn to Headline

Mark Levin

The Transportation Security Agency has become a news spectacle once again, as their massive lines have grown into an increasingly unreasonable inconvenience for passengers. 
While the TSA grovels for public sympathy and more taxpayer money, here are five things you need to know about the lines.
1. The TSA&#8217;s absurd lines resulted in &#8220;hundreds of passengers&#8221; stuck overnight in O&#8217;Hare International Airport in Chicago, IL. <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/tsa-head-apologizes-chicago-long-lines/story?id=39181592">ABC News</a> reports that 450 passengers did not make it to their flight on Tuesday evening, some of them even waiting two to three hours to get through the line. Many passengers had to stay overnight in the airport and sleep in cots earlier in the week.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel condemned the lines, stating: &#8220;The TSA wait times at Chicago&#8217;s airports have been unacceptable. There is no excuse for passengers to wait in line for hours. The resources we have secured are an important step in providing needed relief for the traveling public, as well as ensuring the safety and security of our passengers.&#8221;
TSA administrator Peter Neffenger apologized for his agency&#8217;s incompetence, saying, &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a team out there right now trying to figure out what the root cause of that were. We are not seeing that kind of problem throughout the system.&#8221;
2. Some airports and airlines are instructing passengers to arrive as early as three hours before their flight. <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/2016/05/10/airlines-airports-sounds-alarm-long-tsa-lines/84181668/">USA Today</a> reports that Denver, CO&#8217;s airport, for instance, is advising their passengers to arrive that early because they have had TSA wait times of 60-90 minutes at peak traffic. In New York City, flight passengers are reportedly at their &#8220;breaking point.&#8221;
3. There are some airports who are resorting to entertainers and horses to alleviate passenger stress. The <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/north-america/united-states/articles/us-airports-enlist-entertainers-to-sooth-irate-passengers/">UK Telegraph</a> reports that the San Diego airport recruited the Fern Street Circus to keep the people occupied from boredom while waiting in the lengthy lines. The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport brought in &#8220;therapy ponies&#8221; (no really).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

&#8220;Animals help reduce stress and anxiety levels and put smiles on people&#8217;s faces,&#8221; said Mindy Kershner, an airport spokeswoman, to NBC News. &#8220;Unlike service animals, who are working and should not be touched, therapy animals can be patted and hugged.&#8221;
Other airports have provided live music and snacks for passengers waiting in line. The airports are having to resort to this kind of desperation as angry travelers tweet out #IHateTheWait.

4. The TSA blames Congress&#8230;and you. In a letter responding to criticism, the TSA casually pointed the finger at passengers for longer wait times at the New York airports in a <a href="http://nypost.com/2016/05/12/its-your-fault-airport-security-takes-forever/">press release</a>.
&#8220;In many cases bringing more than the airline industry standard of one carry-on bag and one personal item per traveler,&#8221; the loathed agency said. &#8220;Individuals who come to the TSA checkpoint unprepared for a trip can have a negative impact on the time it takes to complete the screening process.&#8221;
The TSA has also blamed it on being <a href="http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/no-budget-cuts-arent-why-youre-waiting-hours-to-get-through-airport-security/">understaffed</a> and would like more money from Congress to ameliorate the situation.
5. The problem appears to be a result of the TSA&#8217;s incompetence, or perhaps even a manufactured controversy. Despite all the hoopla over the TSA lines, <a href="http://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2016/05/18/a-manufactured-crisis-somehow-the-tsa-lines-have-disappeared-this-morning-photo/">Twitchy</a> found a number of people who didn&#8217;t experience any problems with the lines:

Are the big lines nothing more than a publicity stunt for the TSA to advocate for more funding from Congress? Perhaps. Peter Greenberg, CBS News&#8217;s travel editor, told a local <a href="http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/05/17/is-tsa-devious-or-simply-inept-experts-weigh-in-on-airport-gridlock/">Chicago CBS station</a> it&#8217;s more likely due to the TSA&#8217;s incompetence.
&#8220;TSA is not adjusting to basic airline schedules and peak passenger flow times,&#8221; Greenberg said, pointing to the fact that the agency did not put forth the appropriate number of staff members for the peak hours of traffic.
Whatever the reason, throwing more money at the TSA is not the answer, as columnist <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/2016/05/18/tsas-union-power-grab-thousands-slowing-down-airports-n2164718?utm_source=thdaily&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=nl&amp;newsletterad">Michelle Malkin</a> explains:
<blockquote>
The 15-year-old Transportation Security Administration now has a massive annual budget of nearly $7.6 billion and a workforce of nearly 60,000. They had enough tax dollars to waste on an idiotic $1.4 million iPad app that randomly points left or right; $3 million on more than 200 useless explosive detection &#8220;puffer&#8221; machines that didn&#8217;t detect explosives reliably; and unknown gobs in awards and automatic bonuses to senior TSA managers at a time when the agency was repeatedly failing internal tests of its ability to stop weapons, bombs and terror threats.
Yet, last week, with airlines, airports and customers all raising holy hell, Congress scraped together $34 million more to pay TSA screeners overtime and fund nearly 800 more screeners to address the summer travel crush. 
</blockquote>
Some airports are threatening to privatize the TSA. It would certainly be in their <a href="http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/fire-the-tsa/">best interest</a> to do so.

5 Things You Need to Know About Those Giant TSA Lines

Congress

On Thursday night, Marco Rubio decided he would cancel his appearance at the inaugural Conservative Review Convention in Greenville, South Carolina, in all likelihood because most of the strongly conservative audience preferred Ted Cruz and a small percentage preferred Ben Carson.
All three candidates had accepted invitations to speak at the conference, which was hosted by talk radio&#8217;s Mark Levin and commentator Michelle Malkin and organized by Conservative Review.
<a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/rubio-bails-last-minute-on-conservative-gathering-packed-wit?utm_term=.colw5pydB#.dyn1oLbDa">Buzzfeed</a> reported that soon after the event started at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, a Rubio aide told organizers Rubio was running late and probably would have to cancel, prompting organizers to tell the audience that Rubio&#8217;s tardiness was due to an &#8220;unforeseen issue.&#8221; Organizers scrambled to reorient the schedule to accommodate Rubio. Rubio&#8217;s team acknowledged that they wanted organizers to let one of Rubio&#8217;s surrogates, Sen. Tim Scott, Rep. Trey Gowdy, or Governor Bobby Jindal, take Rubio&#8217;s 20-minute allotment.
The organizers pointed out that they couldn&#8217;t acquiesce; one organizer noted that they had denied the Jeb Bush campaign the same request, adding that making an exception for Rubio could be viewed as an illegal contribution.
<a href="http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/rubio-ditches-conservative-forum-minutes-before-his-speech/">WND</a> reported that Rubio canceled five minutes before he was due to speak, just after Rep. Louie Gohmert fiercely condemned amnesty views of some candidates, ostensibly including Rubio, in a fiery address. When it was Rubio&#8217;s turn to speak, Levin, standing on stage, asked, &#8220;Marco Rubio, will you raise your hand? &#8230; Where is he?&#8221;
Gohmert told <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/18/3080616/">Breitbart News</a>, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t mention his name, I didn&#8217;t mention any of his supporters. I just pointed out that we were really excited because we had been fighting Boehner&#8217;s amnesty and McCain-Schumer&#8217;s amnesty and we were so excited when we had a great tea party senator elected from Florida and then he joined the Gang of 8 bill.&#8221;
When Malkin, the event&#8217;s emcee, announced Rubio was not coming, the crowd booed. Cruz&#8217;s team bashed Rubio, as did Levin. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said: &#8220;This is a final admission that Marco Rubio isn&#8217;t even going to try to compete for the votes of conservatives in South Carolina or anywhere else. And who can blame him? Rubio isn&#8217;t a conservative. Instead Rubio and his campaign would rather hide behind their deceptive campaign tactics and liberal record on amnesty for illegals and voting to nominate John Kerry.&#8221;
When Rubio&#8217;s team attempted to paint the event as skewed, noting CR has given Rubio a conservative rating of only 79%, and that Levin and Malkin, senior editors for the site, have slammed Rubio before, a CR editor pointed out a salient fact: each campaign was given &#8220;hundreds of tickets&#8221; for their supporters, and the fact that the event was so largely pro-Cruz was a testimony to the candidate&#8217;s ground game.
<blockquote>
&#8220;Marco Rubio, will you raise your hand? &#8230; Where is he?&#8221;
Mark Levin, vainly calling for Marco Rubio, who canceled at the last second.
</blockquote>
One Rubio adviser lamely explained to BuzzFeed News that the problem derived from a campaign still in flux because it had to add South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to campaign plans.
Levin was furious, blasting, &#8220;If the conservative convention isn&#8217;t good enough for Marco Rubio, it isn&#8217;t good enough for his surrogates. Cruz didn&#8217;t send a surrogate in here. Carson didn&#8217;t send a surrogate in here. It was pretty damn rude of Rubio, quite frankly.&#8221;

Rubio Ditched A Conservative Convention. Here’s Why.

Marco Rubio

Ted Cruz

On Monday, conservative columnist Michelle Malkin completely destroyed Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky while debating the issue of guns and radical Islam on Fox News&#8217; Hannity.
Hannity began the segment by discussing how Liberty University president Jerry Falwell, Jr.&#8217;s <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/12/07/why-stand-with-liberty-universitys-jerry-falwell-jr-on-guns.html">told</a> students, &#8220;I&#8217;ve always thought if more good people had concealed carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in.&#8221;
Hannity asked Roginsky if she would want Hannity, who has a concealed carry permit, in the room with her if a shooter came in; Roginsky simply dodged the question.
&#8220;How well-trained are you? I don&#8217;t know how well-trained you are,&#8221; Roginsky said.
After Hannity gave a lengthy list of his qualifications as a well-trained gun owner, Roginsky gave a rather timid reply.
&#8220;Here’s my question: Do you want me in that room? Because I have the same access to guns as you would and I have no idea how to shoot anybody,&#8221; Roginsky said. &#8220;That’s the difficulty.&#8221;
Malkin responded by saying she would absolutely want Hannity in the room:
&#8220;I&#8217;d want every grown woman in that room to also be trained and armed and I&#8217;m going to make sure that my own daughter, who is now a teenager, understands that, of course, being armed in self-defense is the great equalizer, whether you&#8217;re talking about defending against a rapist or a jihadist,&#8221; Malkin said. &#8220;And this whole brouhaha over Mr. Falwell&#8217;s very common-sense and rational remarks just shows you that so much of the culture, the political culture and the media, is far more comfortable in demonizing law-abiding Christians who espouse self-defense, armed self-defense, than they are in exposing and calling out and demonizing jihadists who want to kill us by any means necessary.&#8221;
Hannity remarked that Roginsky would be &#8220;foolish&#8221; not to have somebody armed like him in the room since he, and other licensed gun owners, could save innocent lives. He called the clamor for gun control an &#8220;obfuscation.&#8221;
&#8220;This is not about gun control,&#8221; Malkin said. &#8220;The fight against jihad is not about gun control. It&#8217;s about border control. It&#8217;s about jihad control.&#8221;
Malkin also said that by focusing on gun control, &#8220;we play into the hands of the entire secular progressive left and the gun-grabbers&#8221; and that instead we should talk about how Hillary Clinton has &#8220;far tougher words for Jerry Falwell and Christians who are armed in self-defense than she has for all of the jihad-enabling front groups out there.&#8221;
