Measles surges. Americans detained. Peace talks sidelined. Quite the priorities.

There's a decent chance, like 90-95%, that within a couple weeks or less, it'll be obvious that everything they're saying now about this FAA disaster ... is a pack of lies.

Because that's what they do, that's who they are

NVIDIA: Same

Any topic: Same

Great report as usual.

I think if you took the OQs of Mullin and Hohman, a handball would have a higher value.

How about taking money from:

1. DHS / ICE to fund something for all Americans

2. Trump's vanity projects

So, the Administration decides to test a new system:

1. Friday night and close to Thanksgiving, the most highly travelled time of year

2. Running a new system w/o the backup in place. IT IS CALLED DEFENSE IN DEPTH. Pete said there are backups in place in an interview in Denver.

America, you are being bamboozled

I think you're right! They just want the $12.5 billion that was in the Big ugly bill so they can have some pocket money when they leave. I think they just want to show “we the people” that they are still in power.

I heard Blumenthal say they had over $12 Billion (I think it was) to upgrade FAA communications. They (R's) did NOT use it all. Now they want MORE money when they give tax breaks to m/billionaires? I say NO! Use the money you are wasting on the reflecting pool and the ballroom and cutting down trees for a tRUMP golf course NO ONE wants! A holes! Everyone of them!

Yes, the election of Nathan Johnson replacing Paxton might have the most immediate impact of election changes in Texas.

Thanks, Olivia: The HSS needs a major shakeup. People dying from measles is unnecessary. Do people actually listen to the Quack RFK Jr.? Let's hope the next major pandemic RFK Jr. will not be around. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. does not have any medical training or a science degree. His academic and professional background is entirely in history, literature, and environmental law. I believe a medical degree would be a qualifier for the job.

As usual, great info and update Olivia! Regarding the recent ground stop, I have absolutely NO reason to trust Duffy and Miller. NONE. They are just a couple of inept sycophants who worship the mango Mussolini, and it is sickening. Hard to believe that Republican congressmen supported these two! There sure seems to be a lot of aviation mishaps in the past year and a half. I sure miss Pete! And, what a coincidence that Microsoft went down on Thu, PLUS trying out a new $850 M AI traffic control program, PLUS an ageing system, PLUS the ground stop on Fri? HMMMMMM......

As far as post-mid-term stories, all of my acquaintances are so relieved and overjoyed with America's vote for DECENCY, but are cautiously optimistic. Affordability and accountability must go hand in hand to turn the US around, and it will take a LONG time. If there is no accountability, we will continue to have an affordability issue. I am just relieved to know that the majority of our people have retained (or found) their moral compass. I was embarrassed for our citizens prior to the mid-terms.

About two weeks ago I read about a summit with Putin and Xi, that Trump was going to attend on a China trip. I freaked that Trump is selling us out for a new axis of China, Russia and the US. So Olivia how do you view the meeting? Is there anything that can be done? Who is going to babysit Trump. With talk of Trump being a Russian asset, which is difficult to dispute, does anyone know what is actually happening?

I had a front-row seat to history during Trump 1.0 – and blew the whistle. Every week, I offer sharp insights, expose hidden risks, and unpack the headlines so we can stay informed and ready. Join me as I cut through the noise designed to distract us.
