    🚨🇺🇸STARLINK COULD REPLACE VERIZON—AND THE SWAMP IS PANICKING

    The FAA is on the verge of canceling Verizon’s bloated $2.4 billion contract and handing it to Starlink—a move that would bring faster, safer, and more reliable air traffic control services.

    And guess who’s furious? The establishment. They’re shrieking about “conflicts of interest” because Trump and Elon are putting efficiency over corruption.

    Verizon’s system? Outdated and expensive. Starlink? Faster, cheaper, and proven. SpaceX engineers are already fixing the FAA’s mess.

    The real “conflict of interest” is how the old system still exists. The same grifters who let U.S. infrastructure rot now cry foul when someone actually fixes it.

    Elon is right: Verizon is putting air travelers at risk. And Washington just hates that they’re losing control.

    To be clear here, the Verizon communication system to air traffic control is breaking down very rapidly. The FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk. The Starlink terminals are being sent at NO COST to the taxpayer on an emergency basis to restore air traffic control connectivity.

  7. NF: Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington…..bet those counties will flip out over this one!!!

    Just The News: “Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Thursday signed an executive order that deputizes state law enforcement to help federal authorities with cracking down on illegal immigration. 

    The order authorizes state law enforcement to help U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with the removal of the migrants, along with other enforcement operations. It also requests that Virginia cities and towns authorize their local law enforcement to help with the deportation and arrest operations.

    “As Governor, protecting our citizens is my foremost responsibility and today we are taking action that will make Virginia safer by removing dangerous criminal illegal immigrants from our Commonwealth,” Youngkin said in a statement. “Dangerous criminal illegal immigrants should not be let back into our communities to assault, rape and murder. They should be sent back where they came from.” 

    The order directs the Virginia State Police to enter into a Task Force Model Memorandum of Understanding with ICE. The agreement will establish a State Police Task Force of federally deputized officers.

    The order comes as the Trump administration works to crack down on illegal immigration, which soared during the Biden administration, and close the U.S. southern border.”

  8. EXCERPT: “This story slipped quietly under the radar, but it turns out that the Biden administration had been suing several police and fire departments for neutral recruiting practices that judged candidates on their mental and physical aptitude and not gender or race. In other words, the defendants were being sued for hiring those who could actually do the job instead of lowering their standards to meet bogus DEI quotas. And the Trump administration just put an official end to all that nonsense. 

    On Wednesday, with the support of President Trump, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi dismissed several lawsuits that the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) had brought against jurisdictions that put ability above gender or race. In a press release, the DOJ declared: “These lawsuits, launched by the previous administration, unjustly targeted fire and police departments for using standard aptitude tests to screen firefighter and police officer candidates.”

    The attorney general was quoted as saying, “American communities deserve firefighters and police officers to be chosen for their skill and dedication to public safety – not to meet DEI quotas.”

    The Trump DOJ revealed that the Biden administration brought these lawsuits despite “no evidence of intentional discrimination” by the defendants, using lawfare to coerce jurisdictions across the country to partake in the harmful DEI practices so loved by Democrats.

    The White House released further details on the lawsuits that were dismissed…..”

  13. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
