Original Mike said...: Isn't that more a northern view rather than western?; 1/31/25, 5:17 PM
Gospace said...: The Army is refusing to release the name of the female (from usually reliable sources) pilot who crashed into a civilian aircraft. Online rumors are that the pilot was a "female" pilot, not an actual, you know, female. For the moment I'm discounting those rumors. Not from usually reliable sources.

But either way- DEI advocates now have a publicity problem.; 1/31/25, 5:36 PM
Enigma said...: They asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to figure it out, but she was too perplexed to answer.; 1/31/25, 5:46 PM

Gospace said...: Dixcus- My son who sent me a video analysis a few moments ago said he saw another video earlier in the day that he didn't bookmark- that showed a few near misses earlier on this helicopter track. Way above flight ceiling restrictions- so deliberate cannot be discounted. Much as I'd like to totally discount it. Night vision goggles or not- above permitted flight levels has to be deliberate. There'd be radar to ground and barometric height indicators. At least- I believe there would be both. And the tower should have broadcast- "You're too high! Descend!" rather then, or along with, everything else that was said.; 1/31/25, 6:07 PM
Gospace said...: Small plane, two aboard. General aviation crashes into the ground happen far more frequently then commercial aviation. Still infrequent, but far more frequently...; 1/31/25, 6:09 PM

According to Grok, about once a month.; 1/31/25, 6:13 PM
BUMBLE BEE said...: VDH said the shift is full bore. Schumer and Pelosi's speeches from conventions circa '94 were like Reagan. Now they're full of revolution.
Your tweet nails it.; 1/31/25, 6:21 PM
Jimmy said...: Latest reports, the plane was an air ambulance, registered in Mexico. Learjet 55; 1/31/25, 6:25 PM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Fox News reported a flight had to divert it's landing approach due to a helicopter in the same air space the day before the Blackhawk and AA crash.; 1/31/25, 6:26 PM

Dave Begley said...: Only 19 ATCs at DCA when it should be staffed with 30. When will Secretary Pete take full responsibility?; 1/31/25, 6:33 PM

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...: Per Daily Mail; US Army not releasing the female solider's name at her family's request.; 1/31/25, 6:51 PM
Kakistocracy said...: I love instability and uncertainty in the market. Some people prefer a comfortable, sane business environment where decisions can be made ahead of time and forecast far into the future. I, on the other hand, embrace random 25% cost of goods hikes coming in without a clear date until the day before...

For an election driven by inflation anger, Trump seems oddly unfazed by the price surge his trade war against US allies is fueling.; 1/31/25, 6:59 PM
Political Junkie said...: I do worry tariffs and tax cuts will flame inflation. I am ok with some tariffs, but massive tax cuts are the wrong cure for the sickness of federal deficits. We need tax increases for the well off and keep everyone elses's the same. Once federal budget balanced, we can look at rescinding the recent tax increases.Working class and middle class are/will losing jobs through DOGE cuts/streamlining government, which I strongly favor. Wealthy need to take some marginal hits also. R's will suffer for going the other direction , I predict.; 1/31/25, 7:22 PM
gilbar said...: WHY are these planes failing from the sky? Is gravity involved?; 1/31/25, 7:42 PM
gilbar said...: WHERE are the Young Democrats?
WHO are the Young Democrats?

Schumer?
Warren?
Biden?
Sanders?
Hilary!?
Mark Kelly?

i THINK they're down to Kammy Harris (SIXTY years old) and
Cenk Uygur (who is 54, and DOESN'T seem to be very Democrat, anymore)

WHO am i missing? Who's on their bench? Who's on deck? Who's at bat?; 1/31/25, 7:48 PM
