❗️ ‘The ultimate goal is a 30-day ceasefire during which time we discuss a PERMANENT ceasefire’ – Special Envoy Witkoff

WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE? Judges GROUND Trump's deportation flights

President Donald Trump's efforts to remove foreign nationals – a large part of his election campaign agenda – are being stymied by federal judges.

Acting as though they hold the nation's steering wheel, they have issued a wave of temporary restraining orders, and even ordered planes to turn around mid-air, Fox News reported.

ANCIENT TECH blamed for US flight delays and safety challenges

Air traffic controllers still rely on binoculars to keep planes from colliding, with floppy disks, aging copper wire telecommunications gear, broken elevators, 50-year-old radars, and chronic staffing shortages characterizing the air traffic control system, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
