I wonder whether anybody had the authority to stop a payment. At the very minimum, somebody should have been able to put a pause on the payment while questioning with departments if the payment should be made. This lack of responsibility and initiative on behalf of the taxpayers by career federal employees is very disturbing. Those people should be among the early ones that are fired.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stopped short of either endorsing or rejecting the idea that diversity, equity and inclusion policies were to blame for Wednesday’s fatal plane crash, but said the Biden administration failed to prioritize safety.
“They were focused on changing the name from ‘cockpit’ to ‘flight deck’ or ‘notice to airmen,’ they wanted to change it to ‘notice to air mission,’” Duffy told host Jake Tapper on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “They focused on EVs and sustainability and racist roads, things that don’t matter in regards to safety.”

Canadian food companies plan to expand production to U.S. as tariffs loom
It is exceedingly difficult to get a handle on exactly how big the problem is. Around 55,000 scholarly papers have been retracted to date, for a variety of reasons, but scientists and companies who screen the scientific literature for telltale signs of fraud estimate that there are many more fake papers circulating – possibly as many as several hundred thousand. This fake research can confound legitimate researchers who must wade through dense equations, evidence, images and methodologies only to find that they were made up.
Even when the bogus papers are spotted – usually by amateur sleuths on their own time – academic journals are often slow to retract the papers, allowing the articles to taint what many consider sacrosanct: the vast global library of scholarly work that introduces new ideas, reviews other research and discusses findings.
These fake papers are slowing down research that has helped millions of people with lifesaving medicine and therapies from cancer to COVID-19. Analysts’ data shows that fields related to cancer and medicine are particularly hard hit, while areas like philosophy and art are less affected. Some scientists have abandoned their life’s work because they cannot keep pace given the number of fake papers they must bat down.
The problem reflects a worldwide commodification of science. Universities, and their research funders, have long used regular publication in academic journals as requirements for promotions and job security, spawning the mantra “publish or perish.”
This is why the 3rd crew member a female didn't have sufficent training. And name was willingly withheld by Hugher ups in the Militarym not a Trump friendly one who needs demoted/discharged.

It’s going to be tough for the Army to explain why it was training a woman with only 500 hours of experience—supported by a crew of only three (instead of a safer crew of four)—while wearing night vision goggles on the tight approach path to a busy commercial airport while exceedingly the altitude ceiling by almost 2X. This situation strikes me as inherently risky with little margin for error.
And who told who 350 feet was OK. The maximum altitude was 200, the maximum, and who trains with an undersized crew. So many questions, so few answers! And only 450 hours, what, on NV, are they kidding?
What else is new! When it comes to money, expect corruption. its always attached to crooked officials who give it away and receive kickbacks or outright steal it! Billions were sent to Zelensky in Ukraine...Biden favored Ukraine, which was known for its money laundering. Diogenes was the Greek philosopher who went around with .lantern in the daylight looking for an honest man. Hopefully MUSK will curtail other money drains, too.
Thanks for the restack, TexBritta.
