  • City buys airport using federal grant money (Grant money comes with strings attached)
  • David Couch, private citizen, bought 6 acres adjacent to the airport which comes with a permanent easement for .2 acres which is allows access to the airport
  • City approves of construction for fuel farm on Couch's 6 acres....city inspects after construction and issues permit for him to sell Jet A fuel
  • Oopsies! City didn't pay attention to strings attached to federal grant money and realizes they are out of compliance, Olive Branch Airport is not supposed to have competition by other FBO or anyone else selling fuel...
  • In order to rectify this the city is now going to try and take Couch's property through eminent domain
  • Raise your hand if this is not ok with you!


The city of Olive Branch bought the Olive Branch Airport last year. There has been a permanent easement granted to the Holiday Inn Inc who owned this 6 acres plot of land that was connected to this airport so that their hangars and their airplanes could access this airport like a driveway. It is only .2 acres and without it airplanes could not access the airport. Holiday Inn was granted this easement (permanent, don't forget) in 1979. Without this easement this property would be worthless.

May 2014 there was rezoning heavy industrial which would allow for growth at the airport and give them the ability to do things like grow an airport and sell fuel. 

The Belz family owned this airport and sold the airport to the city of Olive Branch in 2018. David Couch purchased the 6 acres in November of 2018 from Carlyle Aviation and he created a new company called Memphis Executive Jet Center. The city certified the occupancy of the premises to this group in December of 2018. Memphis Executive Jet Center decided they wanted to be able to fuel their own aircraft in order to make flying more affordable but is also good for the Olive Branch Airport because it introduces competition. This is when the city loses their mind.

In December , a fuel farm for Jet A fuel was constructed and inspected and permitted by the city of Olive Branch. Not a cheap thing to do nor an easy thing to do. There are a lot of regulations regarding this kind of construction. Noentheless, the 

The city had taken grant money from the federal government in order to buy the airport. When they took this grant money they had to abide by certain regulations in order to remain in compliance. One stipulation was there could be no entities selling gasoline or operating an FBO which is basically a miniature airport. The city realizes they made a big mistake so they decide to put Memphis Executive jet Center out of business in order for them to be in compliance with the regulations they have to abide by.

The city is pushing to take away the permanent easement on Couch's property which would make his investment worthless. The city is trying to destroy competition which is not good for the business of aviation. It is not cheap to fly or to fuel an aircraft. Why is the city trying to take away what is obviously better for the people in order to cover for their lack of due diligence when they purchased the property. They screwed up and agreed to a deal that had regulations tied to the federal money that they should have known about. Did they know and go forward with it anyways or did they just screw up....either answer is not ok but trying to steal a private citizens investment and business is not the way the city should be trying to fix this.

David Couch was forced to open the doors of his property so an appraisal could be done on it in order for the city to take it through eminent domain.​

Did Mayor Scott Phillips and the city attorney hide from the board of aldermen the reason they voted for an appraisal of David Couch's property? 

One Alderman admitted that he voted to approve the appraisal of David Couch's property but also says he was told the city was looking at purchasing this property and not that it would be used for Eminent Domain. 

Mayor Scott Phillips claims to be conservative but there is nothing conservative about stealing private property from a small business owner because they city doesn't want competition for their airport or because they need to cover for their incompetence in order to remain in compliance for grant money they received so they could buy the airport in the 1st place.

If you live in Olive Branch and care about your city, you might want to pick up the phone and call the mayor and the alderman and tell them you don't agree with the city using eminent domain to steal the property of one of their citizens. If the city has a monopoly on the airport that means higher prices and less freedom to fly along with the poor customer service which we are hearing has gone down hill since the city bought the airport. 

It's David Couch today....it could be you tomorrow. We the people only works if we the people hold our leaders accountable.

Sidenote: As if it wasn't bad enough with the city engaging in a massive abusive of power using eminent domain they are also retaliating against David Couch in other ways. They evicted Couch from one of his hangars without reason even though they clearly have the legal power to do this because it was a month to month lease. The city being as inept as they are I guess didn't realize he lease's another hangar there too...guess they missed that one...I'm sure they will follow up on this and kick him out of that hangar too since Couch is a roadblock in their plans to quash competition. 

Ben Ferguson spoke about this on his radio show and had David Couch on to talk about it. I hope enough of you who live Olive Branch will educate yourself on this and take action. The corruption of our government is happening at all levels and we all need to unite and fight together to return the power back to the people. They aren't going to do  what they are supposed to unless you make them.

A Scientist from the "97%" Speaks About the Uncertainty Monster....hmmmmm

5/22/2019

Judith Curry is an American climatologist and the former chair of the School of Earth and Atmoshpheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She is the co-author of "Thermodynamics of Atmoshpheres and Oceans" and has written over 140 scientific papers . 

She belongs to the so-called 97% of the scientists who agree on global warming she says the IPCC reports typically neglects what she calls the "uncertainty monster".

She says the "uncertainty monster is a metaphor for complex between facts and values, the unknown, scientists tending to be over competent in what they think they know without considering the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns so there's a lot of scope for people to be wrong...particularly about their future predictions."

Marijn Poels ask her why this isn't being talked about and Judith believes the pressure comes from "the policy makers, back in the late 1980's and around 1990 when  the IPCC and the UN framework Convention on Climate Change were just being formulated they just wanted to focus on man-made climate change to the neglect of other processes and as a result they became too reliant on climate modules which basically don't simulate a lot of the natural processes and certainly for projections they ignore things like future solar variablitity and future volcanic eruptions and the large scale ocean circulations ......

and what we have come up with is this very narrow framing of the climate problem which ignores what may be the most important factors actually"

Judith breaks down the science of climate change in easy to understand dialogue with Marijn. This is a must watch if you want to understand both sides. She has since been ostracized for straying away from the approved groupthink on climate science. Science should be about the science but sadly, like everything else it has become about the money and if you aren't spouting off the approved talking points they will do everything they can to make sure you aren't heard. 

It's not long so watch and share it. It may be the only logical discussion of climate change people ever get to hear.

If conservatives had only joked about child rape they would be Facebook approved like James Gunn

Last night Facebook and Instagram went on a conservative purge. What's that you say? They banned Louis Farrakhan too? Yeah, they threw in the good minister as a token to prove how unbiased they are. They picked one of the hardest to defend lefties and threw him in the mix because most lefties would not care if he was banned.

Laura Loomer, Alex Jones, Milo, Paul Joseph Watson and Louis Farrakhan are all being unpersoned for wrongthink. 

Facebook and Instagram claim they violated the rules several times though they don't go into specifics.

Social media censorship is the problem of our time. Twitter and Facebook have essentially become the public square but when employees of those companies get to decide whether or not you have access to the public square the question becomes whether or not current law is going to progress enough to cover the civil rights of everyone.

Will Chamberlain did a great periscope on this yesterday titled Why Platform Access is A Civil Right. It is a must watch and counters the arguments from the muh principles conservabros who say the censorship is bad but they are private companies and can do whatever they want.

When Big Tech gets to decide who is violent, hateful, and dangerous we all lose. Remember that the whole punch a Nazi theme was pushed by the likes of MSM such as Jake Tapper. Who wouldn't want to punch a Nazi but when you are considered a Nazi merely for wearing a red MAGA hat you can see how everyone the left disagrees with is a Nazi and how they have justified violence against people they disagree with under the guise they are protecting the world from Nazis.

We are living in dangerous times where the left is demonizing the right and giving their supporters approval to  attack those they disagree with. Big Tech is unpersoning people who don't spout out the approved groupthink. This is only going to get worse before it gets better.

Mike Cernovich has pointed out that James Gunn, who has joked about pedophilia, is not banned from social media and has CONservatives like Ben Shapiro defending him. The internet is all abuzz today about whether these companies have a right to do this or not but understand this....James Gunn who has posted VILE content has free reign on social media as does Antifa and Hamas.

If you don't think we are living under a soft tyranny that will soon turn to hard tyranny you haven't been paying attention. 

Pray for Laura Loomer and donate on her website if you can at LauraLoomer.us.

There are two sets of rules for people in this country. If something doesn't change soon I fear for what is next. I hope President Trump is paying attention and understands how much social media carried him over the finish line in 2016. It's not looking like we will be able to do that again....and isn't that precisely what they are shooting for?

While they are purging good people like Laura Loomer and Paul Joseph Watson they are letting people like James Gunn roam free. 

Isaiah 5:20 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
