The problem with Air Traffic Control is supposedly the fault of the Biden administration, even though air traffic control worked fine. But let's accept this premise for the moment. How did the Trump administration react to this crisis with the air traffic problem that was on the verge of breaking down.
1. Day One: Fire the head of the FAA. Apparently because Musk did not like having his rocket test flies restricted because his rockets blowing up endangered commercial flights in the Gulf of Mexico region.
2. Fired a bunch of air traffic controllers, done by DOGE, before having to rehire them.
3. Went ten days without bothering to appoint a new head of the FAA to deal with the looming crisis.
4. Have a helicopter collide with a commercial flight over the Potomac River.
5. Belayed hire a new head of the FAA within hours of the crash.
6. Then with the air traffic system failing at Newark airport, blame it on Biden.

  Trump has been in office a little over 100 days. His cabinet, far less. For 4 yrs this country had guys like Buttigieg riding the gravy train and literally doing Nothing. What happened to "Build Back Better"? The Billions/$$ that were poured into that were supposed to fix airports,bridges, roadways, etc. Anybody see any of that done near where they live? Just another Boondoggle to put money in these Crooks pockets. "10% for the Big Guy"! The state of Calif/Pelosi being the biggest recipient of this/$$. And Calif continues leading the entire nation in the worst air quality for 25 yrs running. Yet, they wantta outlaw fossil fuel powered engines? And Calif ADMITS to being better than $10 Billion in debt, which usually means the real figure is more like $50 Billion.  Another 4 yrs of this via Harris, (Another Calif Crony), would have killed the USA. That's if Biden's 15 Million Illegal Aliens didn't bankrupt/kill it first. Trump got back in just in time. And his being a Lame Duck means, "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"! No more kowtowing to lobbyists. Big Farma will soon find this out via RFK Jr.

I'm not extremely political, but as someone who has at least observed the country for 75 years I firmly believe the country, for far longer than any Biden-Trump controversy, has been steered toward oblivion via the proverbial "long march through the institutions" of Marxist ideology. Trump inherited a country that was literally on the brink of nonexistence, at least as those of us who lived from 1950 (or earlier) to 1990 knew it. I believe he sincerely thinks, and rightly, that he has a very limited amount of time to steer the Titanic away from the iceberg. Hence, decisions with potentially vast consequences are being made far more quickly than they would have been in 1950, 1960 or 1970. It can indeed be disorienting. I don't believe for one minute there is any agenda other than to "Make America Great Again" in the sense of what the term "America" meant to me and people like me from 1950 to 1990. Is that a whiter, more conservative, more Judeo-Christian nation than many today would prefer? Well, yes, it is - but that doesn't mean an inevitably racist, intolerant, bigoted nation either. In the view of Trump and his supporters, the term "America" at least has some meaning; if the Marxist long march through the institutions were to prevail, the term "America" would eventually mean nothing at all. I do see it as a civil war that someone has to win and someone has to lose; the Pelosis, Kamalas, Shumers, AOCs, et al., are simply attempting to eradicate all that has made America what it has always been, and I frankly don't care what measures Trump has to take to bring their efforts to a screeching halt.

Wow, that was pretty good! One more Guinness Stout and I'll start preaching!

 I was born and raised in So Cal, and what they have done to Calif. over the last 20 yrs is an absolute disgrace. They don't even make movies there anymore. The only thing Growing in that state is Mary Jane and the Homeless Population.
