Let's check in a year from now and see how things are going.

It is entertaining, but who has TDS again?

Here is the FAA portion of yesterday's cabinet meeting. MIT educated air traffic controllers. Too funny.


But he was soon clashing with members of the cabinet.

Just moments before the blowup with Mr. Rubio, Mr. Musk and the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, went back and forth about the state of the Federal Aviation Administration’s equipment for tracking airplanes and what kind of fix was needed. Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, jumped in to support Mr. Musk.

Mr. Duffy said the young staff of Mr. Musk’s team was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. What am I supposed to do? Mr. Duffy said. I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?

Mr. Musk told Mr. Duffy that his assertion was a “lie.” Mr. Duffy insisted it was not; he had heard it from them directly. Mr. Musk, asking who had been fired, said: Give me their names. Tell me their names.

Mr. Duffy said there were not any names, because he had stopped them from being fired. At another point, Mr. Musk insisted that people hired under diversity, equity and inclusion programs were working in control towers. Mr. Duffy pushed back and Mr. Musk did not add details, but said during the longer back and forth that Mr. Duffy had his phone number and should call him if he had any issues to raise.

The exchange ended with Mr. Trump telling Mr. Duffy that he had to hire people from M.I.T. as air traffic controllers. These air traffic controllers need to be “geniuses,” he said.

Will Elon's ATC system clear out airplanes below his ketamine fueled exploding rockets? Or do we just have to accept casualties like with his Tesla autopilot systems?

funny, my jet was full of Canadians flying to the US 2 days ago…. Fear monger Much ?

and yet we didn’t come up with them, FedEx did after several landing incidents. Why is is embarrassing to talk about ways to better our craft. Embarrassing is thinking you are too good to talk about the basics.

Lucky for us your preflight duties allowed you enough time to verify all passengers’ citizenship.

Uh no they don’t. South Park has taught me that Canadians have a mouth that goes all the way across the skull and it splits in half when they talk. Plus they have the scent of poutine and syrup.

Can we at least agree on what the definition of a "secure border" is? That was one of the top 2 mos important issues to ALL Americans.

Anybody got any numbers on illegal immigrants for Feb 2024 when Mayorkas/Biden said " The border is secure", and, "I can't do anything more" in 2024?

Does 200,000/month (2024)or 8,000/month(2025) of illegals qualify as a secure border? Seems like I see a real, unequovical lie in those numbers by somebody.

Facts matter, even though inconvenient. Emotion/speculation aren't facts.

Gaslighting anybody?

We maybe have stronger boarder, but cant believe any number from him tbh but we are for sure a weaker nation:

1. Loss of Experienced Leadership

2. Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities

3. Erosion of Military Morale

4. Geopolitical Weakness

5. Technological and Economic Risks
