DEI seen as cause of plane wreck

 Newsmax:

Longtime TV host and bestselling author Bill O'Reilly told Newsmax on Thursday that "human error" and "incompetence" will prove to be the two causes behind the plane crash that killed 67 people outside of Washington, D.C.

Whether President Donald Trump is correct in his assessment earlier Thursday that the lowering of standards due to diversity, equity, and inclusion hires in the Biden administration is also to blame, O'Reilly said that will require "more investigation."

O'Reilly joined "Finnerty" to talk about the collision Wednesday night between an American Airlines jet carrying 60 passengers and four crew that collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter and its three occupants at Ronald Reagan National Airport.

"I think there's human error here, of course. There's no other explanation for it. Air traffic control is responsible, particularly in that area. So I think that that will unfold that way. There'll be incompetence," O'Reilly said. "Now, whether it's DEI-based or not, that's going to require a little bit more investigation."

O'Reilly agreed with Trump about his assessment of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg but said the timing of Trump's remarks should have been held back for a few days.

Buttigieg ran things "into the ground with his diversity," Trump told reporters Thursday, adding that former President Joe Biden unwound the first Trump administration's Federal Aviation Administration and air traffic control standards and enacted a federal DEI push.

Air traffic control is much too important to be in the hands of some DEI hire.  It is equivalent to allowing a DEI hire to become a surgeon.  There are certain professions that are just too critical to be in the hands of novices who lack the skills.  There is also a reason why professional sports teams don't play DEI participants.   Biden was apparently responsible for the lower standards at the FAA.

...

The Department of Government Efficiency posted Wednesday that 85 DEIA-related contracts totaling roughly $1 billion had been terminated across federal agencies since President Donald Trump first ordered the cuts. However, the administration instructed agencies to identify more people who worked in DEIA areas to cut, according to the Journal report.

🚨 WOW! A former Air Traffic Controller just EXPOSED more about the DEI policies that destroyed the FAA and caused critical staging shortages Obama and Biden struck THOUSANDS of well-qualified Air Traffic Control candidates because they were “too white,” he says “This is a preventable disaster. The system has been under attack due to DEI and the FAA bowing to wokeness since 2010 — since the Obama administration.” BL00D IS ON OBAMA AND BIDEN’S HANDS!

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

The frustration of the Dems

 The Federalist Wire: Democratic Party Tensions Boil Over Biden’s Controversial Decisions As resentment toward President Biden grows within the Democratic Party, top donors are reportedly threatening to withhold funding for his future presidential library. The backlash stems from two contentious decisions: his pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, and his prolonged stay in the 2024 presidential race, which some have criticized as a “selfish” miscalculation. Following President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory on Election Day, frustration within Democratic ranks is mounting. Critics argue that Biden’s unpopularity played a role in the party’s defeat, and concerns about his legacy now cloud discussions of his presidential library, which is expected to be built in Delaware. “If they had their s–t together, they would have been doing the work on this over the summer — right after he announced he was stepping aside,” a “well-wired Democrat” said to Axios. “Now, it’s just too late.
