Woke, DEI, ESG, and such ideology trainwrecks

Trump has been in office 12 days and planes are falling out of the sky! Could you be any more ridiculous? We know you intend to blame Trump for anything and everything right down to the smallest tiniest detail in the next 4 years, but at least you could wait a reasonable amount of time before making a fool out of yourself.

That would be a fair point if Trump did not come in day 1 and do a stack of executive orders that instantly effect government operations. If he wants the praise for when they work, he can take the criticism for when they fail.

Apparently you are incapable of waiting a reasonable amount of time before making a fool out of yourself. Nobody is surprised.

Now that Musk has access to the Treasury computers, we'll likely see that blue state DEI and illegal immigration budgets are supported by red taxpayers.


My guess is, the blue states won't be able to make their payments that were propped up by payments on behalf of illegals and DEI persons.

If I'm correct, they have to create a bunch of debt to cover their overhead and that's why Illinois, for example, is resisting.


In short, the state communists are getting cut-off.

The more illegals and DEI persons a state has, the more red taxpayer money they got.


And if criminal acts were committed by illegals against reds, the reds were likely subsidizing the crime.

But my instinct doesn't stop there.

It's likely much worse and extends to same-sex marriage, abortion, you name it.


And not only the USA.

Many countries, including terrorists.


We don't have enough Gitmos.

Here's the deal, pay attention.

Men have run the show for thousands of years; in most western societies men have more power than women, and now women want to have an equivalent amount of power, to truly be seen as equal.

It is the stratified paternalism of men, camouflaged as "trying to be protective of the so-called weaker sex," that has allowed this to continue.

For example, look at the myriad jury awards against fire depts. and the police for sexual and racial discrimination.

It's all about maintaining power and control over women, both in society and of course in personal relationships.

"What fools these mortals be."

WOW, the feminists have feminized you well.

they've released the name now but haven't confirmed she was the pilot [that I've seen]. The NYT article below says "Army officials said on Friday that the female pilot was undergoing her annual evaluation flight", suggesting she was

These women flying helicopters are needed, women are needed in the armed forces generally, so I don't discount I'm being too hard on this one. However, I question whether any need to be trained on a Blackhawk type, which is more demanding and makes sense only if they are to be trained for combat. My view of appropriate use of women in the forces is of "WAC, WASP, WAVES" types of WW2. I've seen claims that this type of sensible use for women was moved away from because Feminists found it kept women from going to the top, being discriminated against for "not having combat experience". So that's what we care about now and we don't care so much if airplanes full of innocent people get in the way

a little help from foreign media again

Overall the below article is saying "nothing to see here, move along, shame on right-wingers who are saying stuff" but they couldnt help themselves and included this,

A native of Durham, North Carolina, Capt Rebecca Lobach ... [amongst all the rest] ... was also picked for a role as a White House aide

White House aide?

it is also mentioned that these right-wingers are saying she was attending "Pride" events, but they just let that drop too, without saying what the truth of that might be

Three pilots? According to the Army, Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia was a O'Hara was a UH-60 helicopter repairer. DO you have information he was a credentialed pilot?

Confusing over the actual altitude of the copter: https://6abc.com/post/dc-plane-crash-updates-conflicting-preliminary-data-raises-questions-american-airlines-flight-army-helicopter-altitudes/15855126/

WASHINGTON -- Preliminary data from the deadliest U.S. aviation accident in nearly 25 years showed conflicting readings about the altitudes of an airliner and Army helicopter when they collided near Reagan National Airport in Washington, killing everyone aboard both aircraft, investigators said Saturday.

Data from the jet's flight recorder showed its altitude as 325 feet, plus or minus 25 feet, when the crash happened Wednesday night, National Transportation Safety Board officials told reporters. Data in the control tower, though, showed the Black Hawk helicopter at 200 feet at the time.

The roughly 100-foot discrepancy has yet to be explained.

A television report and an article described three pilots. It was two.

Great. Thanks. Which means it was two instead of three helicopter pilots who were flying off the prescribed route at 300 ft. before making a rapid decent seconds before the crash.

They cause the crash.

The multiple videos are clear enough, someone with enough time on their hands could probably triangulate the paths altitude/velocity following a timeline and using known landmarks.
