Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

An American Airlines flight arriving at Ronald Reagan National Airport was forced to abort its landing to avoid another aircraft Tuesday, officials said, less than a month after a midair collision killed 67 people near the same airport and roughly 90 minutes before another close call between a passenger plane and a private jet in Chicago.

The close calls come as officials are investigating a string of safety incidents in recent weeks, including the deadly midair collision over the Potomac River, a Medevac jet crash in Philadelphia and a regional airline crash off the coast of Nome, Alaska, that killed 10 people. And last week, a Delta plane crashed while landing in Toronto, flipping upside-down as a wing " engulfed in flames " broke away from the fuselage. All 80 people on board survived.

Trumpf on the DCA plane crash: "Did you ever see, you go to a driving range in golf and you're hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours. I never see a ball hit another ball. Balls going up all over the place. You never see 'em hit, it was amazing that could happen."

The hex is on Dotard Trumpf because the skies don't seem to be friendly under his new regime. I hope DOGE leaves the FAA alone.

Do you notice that nothing bad ever happens to these pit fiends: Putin, Trumpf, Kim Jong-un, Musk, Netanyahu, Lukashenko? Trumpf luckily survived a terrible sniper last year, but really, nothing bad happens to them. But look how many innocent, harmless people die every day in traffic accidents, hospices, or are just plain shot. The universe has been most unkind to us.

Like in Trump's driving range golf analogy, perhaps he expects pilots to shout "FORE"when they approach.
