Walsh quits in a week’s time. The woman takes up the position 3 months later? If IATA can live without a Director General for 3 months, it can probably live without one forever. The timing also suggests gross incompetence on the part of the IATA, not having a new Director General fingered to step into the position immediately. It is a good thing the Director General is superfluous!

Coincidentally, I passed through Myrtle Beach later that very day on my way home from Tax-evasion Massachusetts. Sadly, there are no nonstop flights from MHT to TPA.

They may evade taxes somehow, but they’ve “improved upon” their lethal and superstitious execution traditions. Instead of burning witches, a group of political insiders wildly applauded as the governor signed a bill legalizing abortion right up until delivery. Scientism (an incoherent, immoral and false misinformation system) says killing newborns by puncturing the skull and sucking out the brain) as long as the feet are still in the “birthing person’s” birth canal (thus “partial birth” abortion = not fully born! - only an American lawyer could possibly make that distinction). BTW, there are no medical indications for an abortion anywhere near the third trimester. Cited “medical indications” are blatantly false. Is anyone surprised, since we now inhabit an increasingly-corrupt empire of lies, headed by the once decent NYT.

Question is – Where do the Feminists find people – medically-trained people – to do such a thing? Giving birth, even “partial birth”, can be a serious medical challenge to the mother – which is why until the 20th Century, a noticeable percentage of women died in childbirth.
We are presumably not talking about a back-street abortion type of situation performed by an untrained Feminist in a dirty environment. What kind of doctor or nurse or anesthesiologist consents to participate in such a disgusting act?
