Duke: *face down on the floor, slumped partially off the sofa* "Every new language I start learning is more fuel on the fire of me wanting to shoot English in the face."

Cass: "...Valid."

Is That All You Got?

Musk was angry Michael Whitaker had grounded his unsafe Space X rockets and correctly ordered an investigation after this happened:

Remember that time Reagan fired all the experienced Air traffic controllers and hired scabs and the rate of plane crashes went up for years?

The storming of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. on 6 January 2021 was an attack on the United States Congress by supporters of the then incumbent, but already voted out of office, President Donald Trump. The incident, unprecedented in US history, is being investigated by law enforcement agencies such as the FBI as an act of domestic terrorism and is seen by many political observers as an attempted coup d'état by Trump.

Trump's successful victim-perpetrator reversal

Many of those who stormed the Capitol in 2021 have been sentenced to long prison terms. However, Trump has successfully managed to stylise them from perpetrators to victims – at least in the eyes of his supporters.

From perpetrators to victims

Over the past four years, Donald Trump has successfully transformed the ‘J6ers’ from perpetrators to victims. Sometimes he called them martyrs, sometimes even hostages. Part of his election campaign appearances was the song ‘Justice for all’. A mobile phone recording of detainees singing the national anthem – interrupted by Trump quoting the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’.

In an NBC interview a few weeks ago, Trump promised to pardon the offenders of that time: ‘I'll act very quickly. On the very first day. They've been through hell.’

News and Wikipedia....

Twisting the facts will be the order of the day at the White House over the next four years.

The writing of history will become the reproduction of the liar's propaganda.

In any other country, Trump would have been held responsible for the call to overthrow the government.

America: the land of impossible opportunities if you have money and influence.

‘Now it is your duty to tell the truth and remember what happened. Don't let January 6 be rewritten or even erased.’

Blackhawk - American Eagle collision

500-hour Black Hawk H-60 pilot, Rebecca Lobach, failed to see & avoid American Eagle 5342

Michael 'Rocket' Blackstone, a 43 year pilot, 26 year airline pilot, and aerobatic performer and stunt pilot describes what he feels to be the likely causes of the unthinkable....a midair collision between a military H-60 and an airliner.

This is the first midair collision on US soil since the Aeromexico crash in Southern California in 1986 - some 38 year ago. 

The likely causes are now pointing toward the 28 year old female pilot, Captain Rebecca Lobach who was at the controls of the H-60 with only 500 hours of flight time was allegedly  taking a competency check ride with Chief Warrent Officer Andrew Eaves, 39 was evaluating her had only 1,000 hours. 

The pair failed to see and avoid traffic called out by Washington Tower after stating that they had the traffic in sight.

Clearly the H-60 crew did not have the traffic in sight, failed to fly at or below the required 200' altitude on the route, and are the likely cause of 67 people to lose their lives.

My heart and prayers go out to everyone involved in this horrible aviation tragedy. May this never happen again.

"UPDATE: DCA mid-air Black Hawk & AA 5342 My latest thoughts, Army & ATC training failures likely"
