If any of you are on the NextDoor app around Peachtree Corners there were 2 Venezuelan mothers on there who admitted they were undocumented migrants. They are seeking work to support themselves and their children. They have come to the US without documents. This is how human trafficking starts. The US aids and abets human trafficking. They are likely to end up in the sex trade to support themselves and their children. I am taking a break from social Media for Lent so I’m getting my digs in before mid February.
You have ALL the talking points of someone who would die on the sword for our demented President.
For all the reading you do, it’s seems you would have to realize that our government is against ANYONE who does not share the same ideology as them.
You would have to realize that our government is corrupt.
You hate it, but it really is true that Trump knows the full extent of Washington’s ilk. Our freedoms are disappearing and your head is so far up Biden’s ass that you can’t tell by studying:
1. He opens our borders but gives $M to other countries to protect their sovereignty. (Result is American’s way of life is decreasing.)
2. These same illegal migrants are first, illegal and secondly they are FORCED to have the COVID shot or be vaccinated to go to the schools with the US citizens’ children. ( Remember the New York students had to stay out of school so the illegals could sleep in the school?)
3. He gave $B to Iran. Who is laughing at the terror they are inflicting on their enemies. Do you realize that The Iranians and their “friends” shout DEATH TO AMERICA. That’s you!!!
4. This transgender BS and Racism BS is intentional to divide us.
5. Democratic ideology and Biden’s administration is choosing DEI candidates to fly our planes because of racism. That’s BS. Do you ever fly commercially? You should be worried about that .
6. I could go on … but you think everything is Trump’s fault.
When all of the:
Conservatives
Whites
Heterosexual
God Fearing
And a few other classes are gone… you will be next and they will throw you away like yesterday’s paper when they take what you have.
I know Eric one day said “everything can’t be about DEI..” and compared it to the left screaming racism.
Well unfortunately with the evidence in stories like this it’s clear that IT IS often attributed to DEI.
When companies talk about adding diversity they are in fact admitting to discrimination based on race.
This most recent example is clear evidence companies and gov agencies are more and more hiring unqualified candidates and passing over people who worked hard to get where they are despite their race.
Knowing this scares me more than anything.
Knowing that the plane I ride in may be flown by a passed through pilot. Or the ATC may be hiding the plane who is unqualified to do so.
Thankfully we haven’t seen planes falling from the sky or massive upticks in accidents.
But if it keeps up that will happen. As more and more veterans are replaced by dumbed down standard hires. It will happen.
I think at some point like the colleges we need to eliminate the race questions on apps or make it truly illegal to base hiring decisions on it.
I get asked for it on every application and I decline to provide.
I don’t need my job prospects to be handled by some diversity robot.
Since this scandal is my life, I will comment about some of the comments and other things.
I spent 40 years as a pilot. First in the USMC and then with PAN AM and when UAL bought out the Pacific division of PAN AM, I spent my last 9+years with UAL. Total 28,000+hours.
Now we have a CEO of UAL telling us that he will qualify more Blacks, Hispanics etc. Also that he wants more women to get closer to the amount of men. Well as a pilot, I want the MOST QUALIFIED AND THE MOST QUALIFIED BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. I was a check capt at UAL and I had a young lady I was checking out as a co-pilot on the B-757 and B-767. She did a good job and I qualified her. Then shortly after that I had a young man that he could not get the aircraft on the ground because of getting aligned with the runway. He is no longer a pilot. But I would be glad to get on an aircraft with the young lady as co-pilot or later when she is a Capt.
But now more on the CEO of UAL. He gets out and dances in his/her dance outfits as a women. What does that say for he/she? But he/she is the one that wants the numbers of women to be a lot more and other minorities as well. I am 90 and I know I could still qualify, but the FAA IS GOING ALONG with people like this where they want to stop the discrimination of the mentally ill and let them be PILOTS. OH GREAT, FAA. I have a name for them, but not for here. UAL almost lost an aircraft several months ago. That was also on the news. Two weak pilots on board.
Today I drive a lot more and even in a lot of traffic and on the freeway. I am more comfortable doing that at 80+mph than thinking about flying as a passenger.
I understand as it would be a hard decision for me today. I did also sell same aircraft for awhile and had fun at that and was able to sell a little above average and made good money. A very wealthy person the bought the Mooney Aircraft Distributership, made me the Gen Mgr. Mooney was a fairly new airplane back in those days and they went well. I really enjoyed those days as well. So your boyfriend may want to think about something like that. Or get his instructors license and check out the young people wanting to fly.
Blessings to you two for wisdom and a wonderful married time together.
Your comment about unqualified pilots reminded me of a story my father told. During WW2, his signal Corp unit was attached to the 101st airborne. They got glider training. The glider pilots had flunked out of bomber training.
Suddenly, Biden and Co. want a border deal despite the fact they have done nothing to stop the invasion that's happening and failed to use the legal resources available to him. Don't forget that Biden took the time to undo Trump's work on the border including selling off pieces of the wall material for pennies on the dollar. Now, the usual suspects on the right are happy to help Biden and company attempt to pass a laughable border "deal" and blame Trump for trying to stop it. I am not a Trump cheerleader, but he actually did very well in that area and hope he will again if elected. Biden and Schumer will never stick to any promises they make---they are too intent on open borders or else they would have already shut it down. No new laws or bills are needed for that. Biden could do it today but that won't happen. The only thing that has changed is that it's an election year and they feel pressured. I think the Dems wanted to come up with a poison pill of a bill they knew wouldn't pass the House this election year just so they could shift the blame off onto Trump and his supporters in government.
The little we know about the border bill is disastrous, so I bloody well hope it isn't passed until and unless we all get to see the entire thing. And besides, Biden could close the border just by reinstating the things Trump put in place. Then they could work on any other reforms needed. Government entities should not be allowed to kidnap children for mutilation. Not that this is something I know for a fact, but allegedly the accusation by that woman about being assaulted by Trump in a dressing room is word for word the plot of an episode of Law and Order. Even if it isn't, it is a totally absurd and unbelievable accusation.
"Scandal at the FAA?" This is horrifying. We are talking about air traffic controllers with the lives of thousands in their hands and our government is hellbent on lowering the standards. Who do these people work for? Iran? Are they so blind to their ideology of inclusiveness they are willing to put our lives in danger? BTW, why was this not stopped when Trump was president and a Republican was over the NTSB? Where are the Republicans on the this? Why are we not hearing from them?
I'm so tired of Dems, 'RINOs' (and Erick) railing against Republicans on the border 'deal' when we don't have ANY details. When Obama's DHS Secretary (Jeh Johnson) said 1,000 migrants coming across the border daily would be a disaster, how in the world can we possibly consider passing ANY legislation that supposedly allows ranges of 3,500 - 5,000 a day to cross?
NO border legislation should be passed that doesn't include:
Finishing /fortifying the wall
Remain in Mexico
Expedited asylum processing (increased judges)
Expedited deportation/repatriation for asylum denials
Biden created this disaster via Executive Orders. He doesn't need ANY additional 'authority' to fix it. Just enforce the #$%& laws already on the books, and reinstate the Trump policies.
I am not sure that impeaching Mayorkas is the best way to go. I would prefer all the energy and funds go towards activities that will win elections. If we win, he is gone anyway.
oh geez, what a day worth of "What the hecks!". Blinken saying the ME is the most dangerous since 1973. Uhm, So, Israel and the Saudi's were how close to signing peace agreements before the Biden Admin took over.... oh yeah, they couldn't let that happen the attribution would go to the wrong people! Way to govern, Mr. Foreign Policy guru Joe.
So, which is worse, being called a 'whackjob' or a 'rapist'. I have seen more than enough evidence that the 'whackjob' label fits, while the other label is completely unrealistic.
Fashionistas say that the dress Miss Look-At-Me was modeling when the attack supposedly occurred, was not even available for sale at the time. It was intorduced to the market some years later. Inconvenient fact, as AlGore would say.
Hmmm, "US Job Openings Rise to Three-Month High" ? Was last month a two month high or not? I guess you say whatever it takes to make Bidenomics sound awesome. Anyway, that's good news for the 12,000 UPS folks that are unemployed.
I didn't read the UPS story, but it doesn't seem like a coincidence that they recently received a massive salary and benefit increase. Averting the UPS strike appears to have had some negative consequences. Go figure.
Weird how that works isn't it. Well, the 12K can pretend to be on strike. Off to FedX or Amazon, DHL... oh, they are not hiring either. I thought I heard Amazon was dropping folks too. Good thing the unemployment rate is low and the economy so good!
I hate to see UPS doing poorly, because I have a visceral reaction when I learn any package is being delivered by FedEx. They're either lost for two weeks, delivered to my neighbor's house, opened, destroyed beyond recognition, or left at the end of my driveway in the rain. Deep breaths...

Sorry guys that was a rebuttal to Blair. (He got this Trumper all worked up.)
But don’t tell me how Trump wants to destroy Democracy by using January 6.
ILLEGAL migrants AND our own citizens are raping this country literally and financially and the world is in turmoil and he thinks Jan 6 was worse.
The state of our country is a direct cause of democratic ideology. …. Defund the police?
…. Don’t get me started.. 🤐

thank you for many safe flights!!
My boyfriend was a navigator for USAF for 23 years and is now studying to become a commercial pilot. This is NOT good.
I understand as it would be a hard decision for me today. I did also sell same aircraft for awhile and had fun at that and was able to sell a little above average and made good money.

It is rather obvious that the author of the NBCFAE's suggestions to applicants received his worst high school grade in Freshman English.

The fact that they have to form a committee and meet up to discuss a response is ridiculous.
Joe was ok today contradicting himself. First saying there will be a response while saying he won’t attack Iran.
Anything they do under total military response will appear weak.
Biden will lob a few missiles and call it a day.

Biden could stop the massive influx by simply cutting off all benefits to illegals. Recall the signs at parks; "Don't feed the animals."
Scandal at the FAA...
So their moto is, "we will hire the best qualified of the unqualified"
"Scandal at the FAA?" This is horrifying. We are talking about air traffic controllers with the lives of thousands in their hands and our government is hellbent on lowering the standards. Who do these people work for? Iran? Are they so blind to their ideology of inclusiveness they are willing to put our lives in danger? BTW, why was this not stopped when Trump was president and a Republican was over the NTSB? Where are the Republicans on the this? Why are we not hearing from them?
Why not lower the standards; they lowered the standards on everything else.

Heluva commentary on America today, when we find Biden losing support only because he does not cheerlead for Islamist terror groups.
I am not sure that impeaching Mayorkas is the best way to go. I would prefer all the energy and funds go towards activities that will win elections. If we win, he is gone anyway.
Oh come on! for the love of pete... Nope, I'm not saying anything else. What a day! dang!
The day is young. :)
Oh boy.
oh geez, what a day worth of "What the hecks!". Blinken saying the ME is the most dangerous since 1973.

Just wait until you have to deal with DHL .... (:>(
Thanks for the warning! Some people have too much job security.
