The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.

“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

“Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety?,” tech billionaire Elon Musk wrote on X last week. “That is actually happening.”

I say, flying could become a lot more fun in the future.
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it superman?

Who cares?

Life is short, enjoy while you can.

Chris Christie announced he's formally suspending his campaign for the GOP nomination for the 2024 presidential election. I've seen a few of his public meetings and news casts where he was asked to speak. His goal was clear and his statements accurate, however he didn't have the campaign funds and more importantly never had the polling numbers to continue.

A.) He lies. A LOT. Politifact rates 70% of the words he speaks as “Mostly False or worse” Only 14% of the things he says get a “Mostly True” or better rating. That is an absolutely unbelievable number. How he doesn’t speak more truth by mistake is beyond me. To put it in context, Obama’s rating was 26% mostly false or worse, and I had a problem with that. Many of Trump’s former business associates report that he has always been a compulsive liar, but now he’s the President of the United States, and that’s a problem. And this man expects you to believe him when he points at other people and says “They’re lying.”

B.) He’s an authoritarian populist, not a conservative. He advances regressive social policy while proposing to expand federal spending and federalist authority over states, both of which conservatives are supposed to hate.

C.) He pretends at Christianity to court the Religious Right but fails to live anything resembling a Christ-like life. 1 Corinthians 5:11

D.) His nationalist “America First” message effectively alienates us and removes us from our place as leaders in the international community.

E.) His ideas on “keeping us safe” are all thinly veiled ideas to remove our freedoms—he is, after all, an authoritarian first. They also are simply bad ideas.

F.) He couldn’t pass a 3rd-grade civics exam. He doesn't know what he’s doing. He doesn't understand how international relations work, he doesn’t understand how federal state or local governments work, and every time someone tries to “run it like a business” it’s a spectacular failure. See Colorado Springs’ recent history as an example. The Short, Unhappy Life of a Libertarian Paradise And that was a businessman with a MUCH better business track record than Trump. We are talking about a man who lost money owning a freaking gambling casino.

G.) He behaves unethically and always has. As a businessman, he constantly left in his wake unpaid contractors and invoices, litigation, broken promises, whatever he could get away with.

H.) He is damaging our relationships with our best international friends while kissing up to nations that do not have our best interests in mind. To his question “Wouldn't it be great to have better relations with Russia?” The answer is Yes. But it is RUSSIA who needs to earn that, who must stop doing the things that are damaging to that relationship, or we are simply weaker for it.

I.) He has never seen a shortcut he didn't like, and you can’t take shortcuts in government. “Nuclear Option, Remove the Filibuster, I’ll change the Constitution by Executive Order…” Don…what happens when you remove the filibuster and the other side retakes the majority in the Senate? Suddenly want that filibuster back? What happens if you manage to change the Constitution by Executive Order and an anti-2A president wins the next election?

J.) He behaves and has always behaved as an unabashed racist. Yes, I’ve seen your favourite meme that claims he was never accused of racism before the Democrats…Absolutely false. Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2019 See the Central Park 5, the lawsuits and fines resulting from his refusal to lease to black tenants, the 1992 lost appeal trying to overturn penalties for removing black dealers from tables, his remarks to the house Native American affairs subcommittee in 1993. The man sees and treats racial groups of people as monoliths.

K.) He is systematically steamrolling regulations specifically designed to keep a disaster like the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis from happening again.

L.) He speaks and acts like a demagogue. He sees the Legislative and Judicial branches of government as inconveniences, blows up at criticism no matter how deserved and actively tries to countermand constitutional processes, not to mention attempts to blackmail and coerce people who are saying negative things about him.

What would you do if you have been talking with someone....someone whom tells you that they love you and you love them. This same someone you have never met in real life (in person). Everything has been over the internet...for years, you have been communicating with them...they talk about how they need your financial help, and they love you and you love them...so, you send them money whenever they ask for it. You do it with a smile on your face.

What would you do if you were in that situation...only to find out...that this person you have been talking to, sharing your love with, them sharing their love with you....giving them money....giving them gifts...what would you do if you found out that you are 1 of 100's that this person has been accepting money, gifts, and love from.


This situation does exist in today's world.

Would you continue giving your hard earned money to them, given them gifts...and giving them your love?

Still there

Last night, I smashed out a solid three-hour workout, combining some serious treadmill action with a bit of yoga. No idea how I'm still kickin' after that, The holiday season went a bit overboard on the eating front, so now I'm on a mission to shed those extra kilos. Gotta do it, though – the job demands me to be in top-notch physical shape, and I'm gunning for a set of ripper abs. Time to sweat it out and get back in the game! I'm starting my reading challenge for the year. I'm excited to dive into some books. Do you have any recommendations or favourite genres? I'm looking forward to exploring new reads and reaching my reading goals this year!

Let's start off with one from the Sixties.
