Flying very safe unless there's a crash; and then it's time to blame DEI [1]

This isn’t precisely the normal story, certainly at least not in terms of usual length. After hearing all the nonsense and plain up horrid crap about this crash in DC being the fault of Biden, Obama, Buttigieg, but especially that biggie, DEI, I began to search headlines to find out about the pilots of the plane and the Black Hawk helicopter.

And guess what? Well, likely you’ve already guessed too. Neither pilot was a woman. Nor a trans-person. Nor a person of color. Both pilots were men, white men to be specific. The Black Hawk pilot was a guy from Mississippi with a family. If you are diligent in searching, you can find his picture and confirm what I’m saying here. I’m pretty new at posting stories here and using the technology of this platform; otherwise, I’d have posted his picture for you. I’ll get there—just need to keep learning the ropes.

Next question? How long do you think the pilots’ identities will be held from the public? A day? Several days? A week? Long enough for Trump to change his sick narrative? And to move on to something else horrid enough to distract from his despicable press conference during which he blamed Biden, Obama, Buttigieg, and DEI?

And then, how long will it take for mainstream journalists and media outlets to ask these questions and address the underlying rot that is putrefying right in front of us? Trump is not only an unwell man mentally and neurologically, but he is also sick in spirit and soul. Enough. Enough of this tiptoeing around him or calling him out but finding something to yell about and condemn from the “other side.” Enough.
