We bring you the latest TBB Best of Web links: We go way deep to investigate the Boeing 737 Max tragedy, learn about the sports scammer Peggy, the heart breaking story of two twin brothers, we learn more about Mike Pompeo the Secretary of Trump and we end it with the patented funny gif/pic of the day and that’s about it okay?

At every Best of Web post I pick the best reads that blew my mind in the previous week. It can be…anything! I like to be eclectic and despise salesy/clickbait/sameold content you read…everywhere else!
As always, click on the headline to be taken to the original source. Sometimes I insert my incendiary comments on article excerpts between [brackets].
What Really Brought Down the Boeing 737 Max?
This is a fantastic investigative piece on the doomed plane in the New York Times Magazine. Reading about how the pilots were trained makes me very uncomfortable. And sadly the same training policies likely continue…
Malfunctions caused two deadly crashes. But an industry that puts unprepared pilots in the cockpit is just as guilty.
The Peggy Show
This one comes from Sports Illustrated and involves some of the areas I am interested in. Sports, financial advice and phucking scammers. And this Peggy should be way up there in the pantheon of scammers…how can these people live with themselves? Were they born this way? Were they raised to turn out like this and hurt so many people? I don’t know…It is just sad!
She Won Athletes’ Hearts. And Robbed Them Blind
Twelve Words
This is one of the best written articles I have read recently! It is from one of twin brothers to the other one who was born disabled. The bond and love between them. The struggles in the family taking care of him. And saying goodbye will have you cry like a baby! You have been warned, okay?
Mike Pompeo, The Secretary of Trump
You read this and you think out loud “what a scary opportunist this guy is!”. If not, well, what can I say?
“He’s like a heat-seeking missile for Trump’s ass” [ LOL]
This is all I have for you. Reducing the Best of Web posts too because I want to spend less time here and am too stubborn to just quit.
It is a free country, if you don’t like a blog, stop reading it!
And I leave you with this…

Delighted to see the best of the web!
Bronze! From the Pacific Northwest! Read that 737 Max article a day or two ago via another link and it IS scary. I guess to travel you just have to put your faith in systems working a bit!
The title song on Springsteen’s latest album starts:
“Woke up this morning just glad my boots were on,
instead of in the whispering grass Down the Five at Forest Lawn”.
I woke up this morning just glad to see an email announcing TBB’s Wednesday post.
Glad your boots are still on, Buzz.
Looks like Rick is back on Frugal Travel Guy!
Seriously? That dude must be REALLY hurting for money! FTG is dead blog walking. Like severe cost cuts, etc. He probably accepted less than the low ball offer he had before he ‘decided’ not to take it. Guess Dosh and Frugalme referral link conversions are just not enough to keep blogging at Pointchaser.
If he had only not sold so early…so sad!
And I was just thinking how the blogosphere really needs more cowbell!
FTG needs to tap the Internet Brands success playbook: infinite scroll everywhere.
Yeah…they managed to ruin FT…and FTG too. If I ever got offer from Internet Brands to sell…I would laugh at their face because you know the price is too low! 🙂
I got good news and bad news:
Good news: My site passed the latest Amazon affiliate violation thingie (still scratching my head!)
Bad: I thought I made $8.04 yesterday. But it was phucking returns so I lost $8.04! I think I should make a blog post how to blog consistently for seven years and lose money LOL.
I visited FTG after years and the site has become a pure cc pumping dump. Just like what MMS is. And Rick is back doing what he does best. Sorry Ariana, the Dosh and FrugalMe conversions were not doing it for him so you get the shaft. You understand: “It is all about conversions”.
To Ramsey and Mileage Update: I watched Donnie give an even more incoherent press conference (if we allowed to call that one lol). All I can say is….WEEEEEEAK!
15 links already in for Friday post Sam. I can’t even get Rick to get back here to make fun of me and call me moron. Or loser. So sad 🙂
To regulars Josh, DML, and Carl: I am still here determined to get Rick out of his hole lol. Please help me 😉
I’ll do what I can!
The WORST part of my day is when I check the cc conversions and Amazon haul:
The worst cc drought is still going on, wow!
Lost another 40 cents on Amazon yesterday.
Please no more comments today.
Demoralizing
while Ingy now pumps plastic and his apps’ referral links every day…
“chameleon ghost witch” – well that’s one I haven’t heard before! LOL!
I used to have cable so I could watch CSPN. It’s painful to watch Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testify. Either he’s dumb as a doorknob or completely incompetent. Simple question, did you go to A or B first? Lots of rambling. I can get more clarity from a 5 year old. Lock him up!
And then Devin Nunes accused Democrats of trying to obtain nude pictures of Trump. There’s a guy with credibility. Rule 1 when making up sh!t, make it believable. Nobody wants to see naked pics of Trump. How the fcuk was this enabler re-elected in California?
