The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

Many of the findings in this report are the same as the findings in the independent report we commissioned months ago, which received an inadequate response from the organisation. Serious questions remain about why it took so long for WWL to start acting

Still seeing a lot of European politicians saying “we still need the U.S involved” guys, when will the penny drop for you? They are gone now. The U.S under Trump is now openly aligned to Russia & no longer an ally. You need to be planning any defence from Russia without them.

OPINION: Instead of tightening alcohol laws in ways that hurt small businesses and responsible drinkers, we should be addressing the root causes - investing in social systems, creating upstream change, and properly allocating police resources where they’re actually needed.
