Obama's DEI hires for the FAA

 Daily Mail:

A job questionnaire for aspiring air traffic controllers introduced by the Obama administration was designed to meet secret DEI target numbers, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The aspiring controllers were given extra credit for being 'risk takers', in the bizarre multiple-choice quiz to secretly prioritize DEI applicants.

It required virtually no knowledge of aviation to pass but top marks were awarded to candidates who 'need a great deal of time to complete assignments' and 'take chances very often'.

And playing three or more sports in high school was rated more valuable than having a stint as an air traffic controller in the military.
...

But race reformers said it paved the way for more 'off the street' hires – namely women and minorities – to land high stakes jobs responsible for the lives of millions of air passengers.

'Bonkers is the right word for this,' one aviation expert told DailyMail.com.

'It's absolute madness to think that you want to hire someone who takes a lot of chances to be an air traffic controller.'

The test comes to light as the Federal Aviation Administration grapples with a public safety crisis after a spate of deadly crashes and collisions that President Donald Trump has blamed on DEI hiring.

A presidential memo issued in the aftermath of the January 29 disaster at Reagan National Airport prohibits the regulator from promoting diversity, equity and inclusion over competence.

No such directives were in place in late 2013 when powerful lobby groups pressured the FAA behind the scenes to draw up the astonishing questionnaire that we reproduce today.

DEI hires are bonkers even for jobs that are not as dangerous as air traffic control.  It is like using a surgeon who is a DEI hire.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...
