Gadsden Flag Flying High
The crisis Southwest Airlines inflicted on itself by attempting to impose Biden’s vaccine mandate on patriotic pilots was absurdly chalked up to weather and air traffic control problems that mysteriously did not affect other airlines. The liberal establishment media has helpfully tried to prop up this lame story, spinning the understanding that pilots walked out rather than submit to senseless tyranny as disinformation disseminated by “right-wing figures.” Newsweek squeaks that it “cannot authenticate details” regarding the image below, which they must have tried and failed to debunk. It features a flag associated with patriotism and resistance to tyranny (and also, as Newsweek chides, “far-right and extremist demonstrations”):
This photo was just sent to me of a grounded Southwest plane flying a Gadsden flag out of the cockpit. The Hero Pilots at Southwest and other Airlines deserve our support. True patriots worthy of the American Freedom Fighter tradition.

It does appear to be a Southwest jet though. Kudos to the patriotic pilot.
Maybe Newsweek journalists will have better luck debunking this:
