Is what the L.A. Firestorm and D.C. Mid Air Collision have in common. The more news I hear about this D.C. mid air collision, the more it sounds eerily similar to what caused the L.A. fires. For instance, the hiring standards at the Traffic Control Towers turned down qualified, experienced white men for years just as the Fire Department in L.A. did resulting in staffing and equipment shortages. Even the department heads had to be the gender, race, or a sexual orientation that checked an Identity Politics box.

These qualifications fall under the category of “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” again. It makes a department “feel good” to hire the underprivileged, unqualified, LBGTQ, and sight or hearing impaired, but it puts America in danger. Safety comes through strength. Just as Peace through Strength. We need strong, intelligent, trained soldiers and air traffic controllers as their jobs are critical for safety. Not just anyone with a college degree. Similarly, fire departments need to put the safety of people over plants or fish. And the “compassion checkbook” needs to be eliminated. Stop throwing money at a problem rather than using common sense.

The hiring standard of soldiers seems to be suffering too under the same low standards. Why were they giving a “training flight” at night near a commercial flight holding 64 passengers? Hold the training flights over the desert or at least in daylight. Why did the helicopter only have three soldiers rather than the standard four with two sitting behind to look out both sides? Why didn’t the pilot see the plane right in front of him or her and stop the helicopter before it hit? Why was the helicopter flying at a high elevation when it should have been at 200 feet? Was there a medical emergency onboard or a mechanical malfunction of the altimeter? Why no “mayday” pleas for help?

Why did the family of one pilot hold the release of the name of their daughter? This sounds like the parents of executed Seth Rich who didn’t want an investigation. One reporter made sure we heard that the pilots were male. Why? Why didn’t the traffic controller say, “Descend, descend, immediately!” His instruction seemed very nonchalant. “Can you see the plane? Go behind it.” No urgency in his voice. Why would they need to go behind it unless they WERE at the same elevation?”

I notice the head of the NTSB was a woman as well. These women at the head of departments like Mayors, Secret Service, Fire Department, past Secretary of State, have failed in emergency situations. They look good on paper but can’t handle crises then play clean up afterwards like Hillary did with the Benghazi Terror attack. Is it an inherent trait or were women raised to not handle emergencies like men do? We always had our fathers handling crises not our mothers. When something broke down it was the man who fixed it, a leaky roof, a water pipe breaking, a stove fire, broken bicycle, etc. It may have started as far back as the caveman and can’t be bred out of us. Women in leadership are fine when everything’s perfect; but when something goes awry, they seem to freeze under pressure. This may sound sexist, but it’s proving to be true everywhere we look.

Biden and Obama set up policies which allowed for weak leadership and hiring in many departments of our government now laced with transgenders, radicals, and LBGTQ. They call it DEI which used to be Affirmative Action, but our country is way past affirmative action as we no longer discriminate in school or the workplace. But they added Equity which translates that we owe the aforementioned by being iced out of job selection.

But hiring based on identity politics over merit and skill has been a failed policy. Example Buttigeig, Bass, and Kamala. Hiring should be based on merit and skills not color of one’s skin, gender, or sexual orientation. And definitely not to discriminate against those that are qualified by hiring those that aren’t as qualified in the name of equity.

Weak leadership leads to less qualified staffing which can lead to disasters in lifesaving jobs. I hope Trump cleans up all this identity politics and gets our country back to normal again, but it will take time as some of these policies are baked in the cake. They’ve been enforced for so long, and no executive order will change it as Democrats will ignore.

Safety is the most important thing a politician should care about, but not the Democrats. They only care about power, far left agendas, spending, and remaining in office at all costs, even at the cost of disasters. What is amazing is that they think America agrees with them. Only their doting media does. If they cared about safety they wouldn’t condone Anti-ICE Protesters illegally blocking L.A. freeways, burning American Flags, and the police, governor, and mayor allowing it.

Democrats are looking for anything now to resist Trump as he has them spinning with all that he has done already. They don’t know which policy to resist. Yesterday it was tariffs, the day before it was deportation, and today it is closing the USAid Organization. They can’t make up their minds on what or whom to hate, and it is hilarious. But they will all come back to name calling Trump a dictator or Hitler or threat to Democracy as it is all they got.
