@FlightEmergency Completely normal formation flying.

@LindberghsGhost @fl360aero There is no evidence, no data, confirming the belief that older GA pilots have more accidents than younger ones. Many factors are involved. Mitigating the age slowdown, for example, is better risk management.

@d_schneidermann @libe Jean Quatremer : une voix de la raison essentielle sur l'Europe et la France. Son style est parfois percutant, mais il sert à combattre l'intolérance et les dérives idéologiques qui gagnent du terrain à chaque extrémité de l'échiquier politique, à la gauche comme à la droite.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.

Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.

Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.

If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?

And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.

The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.

And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)

Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.

Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.

This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.

Boy were we wrong.

As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.

As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.

@Geniustechw The car is 100 percent at fault. It crossed into the side of the other traffic, occupied by the cyclist. Mind-boggling to see arguments about “Road tax” being cited here.

@climbtechy @adamtranter Electric motorbikes are nothing to do with e-bikes. They are motor vehicles, subject to all the rules governing that category. E-bikes are low speed electric motor assisted pedal bikes.

@sovietvisuals This was not a nuclear powered aircraft. It carried a nuclear reactor for radiation shield tests. Nothing to do with the engines that powered the aircraft.

@DefiyantlyFree Clinton’s interaction with Putin took place 15 years before he turned into a dictator.. Facts matter

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Journalists need to stop accepting this false frame from Trump that he is trying to negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Putin. He is not. He is throwing the Ukrainians under the bus and embracing Putin. That is NOT mediation.

[CharlesBremner @CharlesBremner]

@Mick_O_Keeffe That was a decade before Putin became a dictator

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

@youth_demand @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour It’s quite surprising that police allow someone to be threatened/harassed in their family home like this.
