Passenger plane from Wichita collides with DC police helicopter minutes ago arriving to Dulles

Just not voting issues for you. You are just completely uneducated and lack intellectual curiosity and honesty. I believe in MLK Jr. on the content of your character and not your skin color. That's in the Constitution and in the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It is your team that prioritized skin color. You voted for it. When Kamala was made VP solely because she was female and black don't tell me that I'm caught up in race. I choose not to ignore the lack of competency when I see it. All those white dudes who were after Trump were incompetent and corrupt. Newsom is incompetent. And so is Bass the LA mayor. Skin color or sex or sexual preference has nothing to do with it. You just choose to ignore and excuse incompetence for reasons you will never explain.

Of course you didn't take a stance. Leftards are intellectual cowards. I did take a stance. MLK Jr., the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Tough to argue with that unless you are a coward.

I think it has been covered by other folks since I am just catching up on this thread, but there indeed have been DEI hires throughout the industry. Some of it is corporate greed and corner cutting or whatever, see Boeing. Whether you want to accept it's probably a factor is another topic I guess.

Actually, I don't struggle. You can just look at the dementia patient's administration. You think the Secret Service DEI hire was concerned about the safety of Trump? You think that Mayor Buttplug was appointed to make the US transportation system more efficient? You think that Kamala was selected as VP because of her sterling record?

Look, it's just not about hiring DEI incompetents. I agree that at some point you can relax standards and still hire DEI candidates. But, they actually have to be able to sort of fly a plane and sort of handle air traffic at a busy airports. And you can sort of cover up their operational inefficiences by giving them the easiest flight routes or make sure they have a really good co-pilot. Or that they aren't given an ATC job at Reagan airport but keep them at Omaha, Nebraska.

Next, who was supervising the ATC at Reagan AirPort and who was there boss? Apparently, there were only 19 ATCs on duty out of 30 supposed slots. You had the one ATC handling the airspace where the tragedy occurred. At what point does someone say, "Hey, we can't handle the helicopter traffic and all helicopters are now exclude until further notice from Reagan airspace." Your down a third of your needed staffing. You restrict air operations at 50% down? 75% down? When you have incompetent leadership you get bad results. The guy handling the airspace may have been a top performer but he was trying to do two jobs. I'm assuming that it wouldn't be his call to restrict accesss to the airspace. Whose was it?

Finally, there are two ways to hit your DEI hire quota. Assume DEI hires are your numerator. And your total hires are your denominator. If you are having trouble getting your numerator up to DEI speed, then you restrict your denominator by not hiring competent white males. Which is what happened. Then you blame problems on a staffing shortage. Sorry about the math leftards.

It can be an accident. But this isn't dropping a nice wine glass as you put it into the sink. The dems live by, "Never let a crisis go to waste". Put DEI around the dems neck and light it on fire. They were proud of it so what is the problem? Laken Riley was just one unfortunate and forgettable death according to the leftards. Same with the first Trump assassination attempt. A bunch of dems were unhappy the bullet missed. Then they were unhappy that a light was shined on DEI and that Trump was using his survival as a political weapon. I firmly believe as I set out that this was a DEI "accident". The FAA was undermanned (sorry) understaffed because the dementia patient was not hiring qualified white males. This let's the public know what is going on.

This is a fact; the understaffing of the FAA has been reported since at least as early as February, 2024, and there is a lawsuit of 3,000 candidates for Air Traffic Control jobs who passed test to be hired, but who were then put on hold so that the FAA could change the test to be "biographical," i.e., they ask you about your race and what your race has taught you about guiding planes in to a runway safely. The 3,000 white candidates who passed the real test failed to pass the "Are you Black?" test, because they're not.

This was all by design. The FAA can claim that its Racial Ratios are "improving" because they're just refusing to hire white traffic controllers.

And if the towers are manned by half the staff needed? Oh well. It's more important to make the DEI numbers look good!

CNN's witch-faced megac*nt Kaitlin Collins demands Trump stop bringing up this highly-relevant fact…

Note that the attack line she takes -- "you shouldn't politicize a tragedy so early" -- is singularly inappropriate for a hack from CNN. On the night of the crash, CNN's DEI dummy Abby Phillip repeatedly attempted to blame Trump's eight days in office for the crash.

I agree. Ban DEI and then enforce the anti-discrimination laws. Enforcement isn't a problem if some business put up a "No Blacks Need Apply". But that's what our major educational and government institutions have done and many US major corporations just substituting white males.
