BREAKING: I've obtained internal footage of senior officials at the FAA's Flight Program Operations division — which is responsible for all aspects of aircraft operations — workshopping a plan to reduce the number of white males in aviation. 🧵
2/ The footage begins with FAA acting deputy chief operating officer Angela McCullough saying more workers need to go from "ramp to cockpit," meaning she wants to see more baggage handlers become airline pilots.
3/ As the meeting goes on, McCullough declares that it's important to "get a little uncomfortable." She complains that Flight Operations is "white-male dominated" and tells the managers they need to “talk about what the future could look like."
4/ In response, David ‘Wil’ Riggins, the FAA’s Vice President of Flight Program Operations, says, "That's great, honestly. Those are some words that we really need to spend some time digging through and thinking about."
5/ This footage, which is from April of 2022, is a sign of a much larger problem. Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard from several members of the aviation industry who tell me that DEI is endangering the public and distracting them from their work.
6/ A second source — a pilot I’ve confirmed works at Delta — tells me that Delta has recently promoted a trans-identifying pilot who repeatedly received bad reviews from captains. According to the source, this pilot “would likely not have” survived probation if he weren’t trans. Image
7/ The source also notes that Delta routinely makes exceptions for trans-identifying pilots concerning grooming and behavioral standards. Internally, Delta has even published a lengthy guide for pilots who believe they were born in the wrong body. Image
8/ This industry-wide embrace of overt mental illness afflicts every aspect of aviation. Another source told me that his job is to design advanced military systems, but he’s constantly side-tracked by DEI proposals like “gender inclusive seatbelts.” Image
9/ Several sources have also sent me documentation about one of the FAA's largest programs, called "eFast," which prioritizes "Indian Tribal Owned corporations” and “Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Businesses” for billions of dollars in critical grant funding. Image
10/ The FAA’s Master Order Agreement for eFAST states that certain FAA contracts for dollar amounts between $10,000 and $150,000 are “automatically reserved exclusively” for “Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Businesses”: Image
11/ It's only a matter of time until this combination of incompetence and anti-white discrimination leads to a major air disaster. The aviation industry needs a completely new mandate — one that's focused solely on safety — before a lot of people die.

BREAKING: The @AmerAcadPeds has kicked out a detrans group that included Chloe Cole, Abel Garcia, Soren Aldaco, and Nicolas Flowers from their annual conference. Why is the AAP preventing doctors from hearing these stories?
Image
Image
2/ Video of the incident shows the AAP claimed one individual was associated with a different group who, last year, violated the code of conduct. Security wouldn’t confirm who the individual was, what the violation was, or why it impacted this different group in a different year.
3/ Rather than speak for themselves, the AAP sent venue security to inform these mental health professionals, mothers, and detransitioners that they had 10 minutes to pack up their booth and exit the conference venue.

1/ Many have asked how it's possible that our new film "Am I Racist?" hasn't been reviewed by a single mainstream critic, even with a 99% audience score, a “Verified Hot” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a top 5 box office debut. Here's what's happening behind the scenes. 🧵
2/ Beginning in mid-August, we reached out to dozens of mainstream outlets, offering an early screener of the film. Those outlets included @TIME, @AP, @IndieWire, @Variety, @THR, @nytimes, @NewYorker, and many others. We followed up to virtual silence.
3/ We did, however, receive a flurry of unprofessional emails from independent critics who were enraged we'd even ask them to review the film. One of them wrote that he won't waste any "professional time" on a movie opening in over 1,500 theaters because I was involved. Image

Don’t listen to the lies about Amendment 4. It will absolutely without question codify a right to abortion UNTIL BIRTH. Anyone who supports the amendment is supporting a Soros funded initiative to kill fully developed infant children. I will show you why.
Here’s the text of the amendment: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

Notice the “or.” The “or” is the whole point here.
The amendment enshrines the right to abortion PAST viability if it “protects the patient’s health.” Notice it doesn’t say “life.” This isn’t abortion to protect the patient’s life, but health. What does health mean? Well it means literally anything. Physical health, mental health, emotional health, financial health. In other words, it means that a woman can get an abortion for literally any reason as long as it’s framed broadly and vaguely under the umbrella of “health.”

A lot of very bad parenting ideas have become popular in recent decades. One of the worst is that you should never offer “because I said so” as an answer to your child when he asks why he has to do something or why he can’t do something. In fact, “because I said so” is one of the best and most effective answers you can give. You should say it as much as possible. A child should be trained to respect your authority and follow your instructions whether or not he understands or agrees. Weak leaders explain themselves, cajole, and negotiate. Many parents today are weak leaders in their homes.
“Why” questions in this context from a child are almost always an act of defiance. He doesn’t really care why you’re telling him to turn off the TV. He’s just looking for a point to argue. “Because I said so” is not an answer that invites argument, which is why it’s much better than actually trying to explain your reasoning.
The great @JohnKRosemond has written extensively on this point

Some thoughts on this Amber Rose thing, since it’s apparently extremely controversial to say that the Republicans shouldn’t give a prime time convention speaking slot to one of the founders of the Slut Walk:

First of all, maybe Rose has totally changed and had some kind of conversion experience. There’s no evidence of that. Only that she likes Donald Trump now. There are many many many examples of conservatives rallying around their new celebrity hero just because the person likes Trump, only to be humiliated and betrayed by that same person shortly after. This has happened countless times. I’ve called it ahead of time in nearly every case and been screamed at by conservatives the way you all are screaming at me now. Hopefully this is the first time I’ll be wrong about something likely this but I highly doubt it.

Second, even if there has been some kind of conversion, that doesn’t mean you take someone who has been a conservative for 42 seconds and turn them into a mouthpiece for your movement. Again: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO LEARN THIS LESSON? A person who has been wrong about everything up until approximately yesterday morning needs to be learning and listening, not giving prime time speeches at a political convention.

Third, just to give you an idea of how new Rose’s conversion is — if there has been one at all — it was just this past March that she praised the Satanic Temple for “helping a lot of people” by making sure they can get abortions. That was March. Of this year. She has not even pretended to disavow that point of view, or any of her far left views, apart from her dislike of Trump. If it is outrageous and offensive to suggest that a person such as this is perhaps not fit to be a prime time Republican speaker, then conservatism as a movement is in even worse shape than I thought.

In conclusion: come on, guys. What the hell.
The evolution from new conservative to conservative thought leader takes about 12 hours these days. I am merely suggesting that perhaps it should be a bit longer than that. I have the entire modern history of the conservative movement as evidence to support my position.
If a prime time speaking slot at the Republican convention does not count as being presented as a thought leader then what the hell does?

I’m fine talking about this but the intentional obtuseness is a bit annoying.

1/ In the late 1990s, Christian families in the small town of Possum Trot, TX, adopted 77 children from the foster-care system. It was a heroic effort by a small church community. Today, leftists are trying to stop Christians from saving more children: Image
2/ Unsurprisingly, children in foster care are more likely to identify as trans. It shouldn’t shock anyone that children who have faced abuse, trauma, and unstable families are more likely to be confused about their identity and looking for belonging wherever they can find it. Image
3/ Christian families who feel a call to foster or adopt should be celebrated and supported. Instead, many states are demanding Christians agree to chemically castrate and sterilize gender-confused kids in order to foster any child in the system.
