Trump baselessly blames D.C. plane crash that killed 67 on DEI and Biden



President Trump went off on longstanding efforts to recruit people with disabilities as he addressed the deadly collision between an Army...



"Obviously it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that." -- Sean Duffy, our new secretary of transportation in the new awful administration

Another Blackwater Massacre To Come?









We have a reality tv game show host for a “president” and reality tv star for a “transportation secretary” and a morning tv “news” anchor for a “defense secretary”.

So things are going about as well as expected.- JoJoFromJerz










Republican Shenanigans



Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. 

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. 

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him. - godpod

Bezos Doesn't Need 1.5 Billion. Let Him Fund Himself.
Jeff Bezos’s space company Blue Origin hired S-3 Group to lobby on issues related to space launch logistics in the annual defense appropriations bill. Blue Origin has received nearly $1.5 billion in government contracts over the past five years from NASA, according to federal contracting data, including for launch services, research and procurement. One of the lobbyists on the account is John ​Scofield, former communications director for the House Appropriations Committee.








Trump may think he knows who his enemies are, but he doesn’t. His two biggest enemies will always be 1) reality and 2) himself. - Andy Borowitz









Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. 
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again. - Pete Buttigieg

Yep, He's Performing Illegal Chaos
A directive by President Donald Trump to freeze federal grants and loans raised uncertainty and fears among many who depend on federal aid before a judge intervened Tuesday to temporarily block it from taking effect...Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker address the media Tuesday afternoon...“What the President is trying to do is illegal," Pritzker said. "I know these are challenging times, and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people. That's why it's so important that we speak plainly.”

CNN's Jim Acosta Rips Trump In Defiant On-Air Announcement He's Leaving





CNN's Jim Acosta Rips Trump In Defiant On-Air Announcement He's Leaving: 'No Time To Bow Down To A Tyrant'
...CNN CEO Mark Thompson and his network announced sweeping changes this week — including the likely exile of anchor Jim Acosta in a move seen by some as a capitulation to President Donald Trump — in what Thompson described as a “shift” toward “platforms and products where the audience themselves are shifting.”



CNN has been morphing into Fox News since the Clinton years. No surprise here.

To Those Thinking of Leaving The US...

After the election interference by Jeb and George W. Bush in 2000, I knew I had to reinvest outside of the US. I slowly sold half my assets before 9-11-2001 (pure luck) and by January 2002 bought property in Costa Rica, when it was still very affordable. I knew Bush would ruin the economy and would go after Saddam Hussein just as his father did. It was not rocket science.

Heads up, folks. Trump is George W. Bush on steroids.

In 2009-2010 Costa Rica cured my cancer. A few months later, Costa Rica protected me from my husband, when the US wouldn't.

If you do decide to relocate to another country, don't hesitate to rent until you get a feel for the land and the new society. 

Moving from the USA was one of my best life decisions, not only for my pocketbook but for my sanity.




I still love what good is left in the USA.
