How many tens of millions were spent on this nonsense?

Get used to it. Lewzer will be attending every major sports event for the next 4 years.

Elon will give him a green jacket at The Masters next.

Trump swings while people drown.

At least this time he didn't claim he'd be too busy "working his ass off" instead of golfing.

It's his site, so he can ban anything he doesn't like. And he seems to do that a lot.

as of February 7, 2025, the SPR stocks were at 395.31 million barrels

So the SPR is at 55%, as opposed to "empty".

Or do we have to wait awhile for the lawyers and government agencies

Probably. There might not be any government agencies left by then.

What do you predict will happen now?

The NTSB will release a preliminary report in a couple of weeks and a final report in a year or so.

They will make recommendations. The FAA/DOD may or may not adopt them.

Sounds like a possible wingtip strike in a nasty crosswind.

Arguing about his job performance after three weeks is stupid.

Like you just did in your first post?

Reporting the pilot was a transgender gay woman from Haiti. Lost control while munching on a cat.

Whoever created this flight training has been putting lawmakers at risk.

It wasn't just for flight training. There are 28 different agencies using these helicopter routes, the army being just one of them.

The Pentagon brass like to use the helicopters for personal taxis as well.

Was the problem Ronald Reagan ATC is still using a system that's not updated

The procedures around the airport were not updated to consider the increased level of traffic. Missing a snippet of the radio transmission means little since they were likely watching the wrong plane to begin with.

This is really starting to look like a policy and procedure thing.

...when Trump just created a market to fill the reserves?

Exactly what I said back in #19, and you lost your ---- over it.

LOL. Cya, troll.

He just opened up 635 million acres of leases to oil companies to produce...

Which the oil companies said they don't need, don't want, and are not going to develop. Low oil prices are not in their business model.

why would anyone buy it when Donald Trump makes it affordable

And how is Lewzer going to to that? Force oil companies to glut their own markets so they make less money?

That will be interesting. Lewzer has never run a successful business so he doesn't understand how it works.

has to process sand to sell actual oil...

If some idiots will buy it, why not?

Now do the strategic petroleum reserves, --------.

Lewezer is going to pay the oil companies for that. Different thing.

Very good article. Should be on the front page.

Luxury hotels in New York City including the Roosevelt

The Roosevelt is a "luxury hotel"? That's just funny.

Who in their right mind would buy a Tesla now

MAGA crayon eaters with cash to burn.

Congress didnt like that either, because less flights coming through meant less flexibility for their schedules.

That does seem to be one of the underlying themes in this investigation. VIPs wanting what they want.

Common sense

Common sense says an airliner that is 20 seconds from touchdown should not have any other traffic anywhere near it.

"The nuclear deterrent is the backbone of American security and stability " period.

That's pretty sad.

But the copter pilot was talking and didn't receive the message.

The pilot flying was not the one using the radio. The pilot was flying, the Instructor Pilot was managing the radio.

Indications are he CRJ saw the chopper at the last second and tried to evade, but the chopper shows no sign of ever seeing the jet.

Long line of things lined up for a bad outcome by the sounds of it.
