The pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the CRJ, Army Captain Rebecca Lobach, did not comply with directions to change course seconds before the fatal incident. On the night of January 29, Lobach was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, who was serving as her flight instructor. Three months on, new details reveal that Lobach made more than one mistake leading to the collision with an AA CRJ. Not only was Lobach flying her Black Hawk too high, but in the final moments before the impact, she failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course. Lobach's piloting skills were being tested during the evaluation on the fateful night, before the crew were informed that another aircraft was nearby. 15 seconds before colliding with the CRJ, Reagan National air traffic control told Lobach and Eaves to turn left, but she did not do so. Seconds before impact, co-pilot Eaves then turned to Lobach in the cockpit and told her that air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so.

My friend, it does not apply to non-citizens who are illegally in the United States. In other words, people who should not be standing on US soil, and are only doing so because they criminally entered the country. An Illegal alien inherently enjoys no rights within the US, as they should not be within US borders to begin with.

To be clear, so-called "constitutional protections" do not apply to non-citizens within the United States illegally.

Exactly. It's really quite simple, as you perfectly stated.

A 16-page draft Trump administration executive order circulating among U.S. diplomats proposes a radical reduction to and restructuring of the State Department. The order would eliminate dozens of positions and departments, including those dealing with climate, refugees, democracy and Africa, as well as the Bureau of International Organizations, which liaises with the United Nations. It would also include a sharp cut to diplomatic operations in Canada. Under the changes, the sprawling State Department would be reorganized into four regional bureaus covering Indo-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Eurasia. Non-essential embassies and consulates in Sub-Saharan Africa would be shuttered. The order as written would eliminate, among others, the Bureau of African Affairs, the special envoy for climate, the Bureau of International Organizations, and the Office of Global Women’s Issues. Diplomatic relations with Canada would fall under a significantly reduced team delegated as the North American Affairs Office (NAAO) within the Office of the Secretary, and include a substantial downsizing of the U.S. embassy in Ottawa. Diplomatic staff would now be assigned to regions, where they would be expected to stay throughout their careers [Excellent!], rather than rotate around the world; current diplomats who don’t want to join the regional ranks could apply for a buyout until Sept. 30. A new foreign service exam would also be formulated requiring “alignment with the President’s foreign policy vision.” The prestigious Fulbright scholarship, which has sent thousands of promising students around the world for studies, would be recast as “solely for master’s-level study in national security-related disciplines” with priority “given to programs with intensive instruction in critical languages,” including Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Farsi and Arabic. The order would end fellowships associated with Howard University in Washington, as part of the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Under the plan, the Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs would assume any mission-critical duties previously carried out by USAID. “All positions and duties must receive explicit written approval from the President of the United States,” according to the order. The State Department’s workforce includes 13,000 members of the Foreign Service, 11,000 Civil Service, and 45,000 locally employed staff worldwide. Sounds great to me.

It's not too soon. Just-in-time production.

All because Volvo sources so many parts from outside the USA.

Airbus chose to assemble A320s in Tianjin from 2009. To date, they've produced over 750 aircraft there destined for the Chinese airlines. The administration is following China's playbook......Given we're a large country market, build here what you sell here. And that's a reasonable request from a large country market, so as to create jobs and share some of the profits. China's single-aisle COMAC CA919, that you speak of, is full of US and other western components. I suspect the trade war is going to cripple production. COMAC gained airliner experience from 1986 when McDonnell Douglas with US approval gave them a license to produce the MD82 (second generation DC9). I flew on many China Northern MD82s.

Things that make you go hmm. On Monday, White House director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios, said the US currently has the ability to “manipulate time and space”, and “leave distance annihilated.”* On April 9th, President Trump said, “We have a weapon that no one has a clue what it is. And this is the most powerful weapon in the world, which is more powerful than anyone even close.” *In 1915, Albert Einstein presented his theory of general relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and proved that time travel is possible. How fast time passes in your surroundings varies with your velocity, so the faster you travel, the slower you experience time.

“The level of the tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated. The same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slower growth. Tariffs are highly likely to generate at least a temporary rise in inflation. The inflationary effects could also be more persistent.” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell

But they've still never told us who was behind the great drone show. .

The 145% China tariffs should be painful for Boeing. Did you know only 50% of Boeing aircraft parts are produced in the US? Coming from China: AVIC SAC Commercial Aircraft Co. produces the massive aft fuselage sections and vertical fins. Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Co. produces forward entry doors, automatic over-wing exit doors and vertical fin rudders. Beijing Beimo produces the brake rotors. Zhongbeixing Aviation Technology Xianghe produces the landing gear.

Democrats endangering America. ,

President Trump wants to give [taxpayer] money and an airplane ticket to any illegal migrant who chooses to self-deport. “We´re going to give them a stipend. We´re going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we´re going to work with them - if they´re good - if we want them back in, we´re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.”
