A Pure Meritocracy

I do not want an operation performed by anyone except the most competent. I would not want anyone but the best pilots guided by the most capable air traffic controllers flying my family. DEI has no place in society because it compromises safety and our very lives. 

Those Gloating Today

I have seen some online crowing that "no commercial plane crashes happened in America while Biden was President". Be that as it may, those contending this horrible event in Washington proved that Biden was actually competent, and now, it has been demonstrated, Trump is NOT should take long walks off short piers. Trump's team is not nearly fully in place, and his policies are just starting to be enacted. Those saying "maybe the air traffic controllers were worried about being laid off or wondering if they should take the buyout and could not fully focus on their jobs" should realize anyone doing that should never have held a responsible position in the first place. Trump is just beginning to repair or replace a very damaged system and must be given some time and grace to do what is needed. 

The Ratings Draw

If the Titans had Taylor Swift attending games in the town she grew up in and was involved romantically with a Tennessee player, there is a possibility that they would have been in the Super Bowl instead of Kansas City. It is amazing how many games a team wins if somehow they have all the close calls go their way. If the referees are for you, you are bound to win many contests. If controversial penalties go both ways, it is clearly random, but if they only redound to the benefit of a single franchise, it is rigged. 

Never a Doubt

Little girls and women who would never watch a football game now tune into Kansas City Chiefs contests to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift in the luxury box and see what she is wearing. The NFL would have to pay Swift many millions of dollars to perform at a halftime show to draw in those non-football fan eyes, but secures that same audience more or less at no cost by having her root for her "boyfriend" and having her presence widely publicized at the Big Game. Then, the network will be able to charge even more for ads that were exorbitant before Taylor started boosting the ratings. Was there ever a way that the League would not have dome everything possible to see KC back in the Super Bowl? 

The Trump Pax

Right now, there is much skepticism about and some resistance to Donald Trump. If you want to unify almost every American to support the returned President, do what some in Latin America are saying and seize US assets or even take Americans hostage to protest the hardball Trump is playing in order for you to take your criminals and lunatics back that you foisted on our country. The Chavista-types now being run by Maduro and his Fellow Travelers to the South ought to know America will kill you if you start to harm our interests or our people with Forty-seven in the White House. 

Some Revolutionary Thinking

Not every American President spouts off about taking Panama and Greenland. I had never heard any American leader speak of sending the Gazans to Egypt and Jordan. Trump is the opposite of a conventional thinker. With these recent ideas, some might even think Forty-seven is insane. 

Deal with Devil

Hamas is not and will never be "a partner for peace". It is instead an exterminationist force for terror that in its very charter calls on its adherents to kill every Jew. By dealing with these jihadists, Israel did not show any trust in a neighbor that might suggest future coexistence, but only the commitment of the Jewish State to "redeem the captive" as the Holy Book commands Jews to do. Netanyahu leads a nation and People of law and decency, while those he was forced to make an exchange with are the enemies of humanity.
