Ilhan Omar of Minnesota House District 5 wins with 76.48% of votes. Vote count is slightly up from 2024 despite the controversy she's facing. I bet she would have gotten less votes had Trump just stfu! lol

Can't get that Learjet plane crash in Florida off my mind. Poor girl co-pilot. I was in the white car right next to it.

I think the biggest controversy is 1) people pretending that the poor girl is some kind of hero and 2) yet another instance of people calling it "a miracle" because nobody on the ground was killed. I think it's called good luck! What about the family on the plane? Wasn't a miracle to them!!! and 3) issues with pilot shortages and COVID making it worse like everything else.

I'm glad you're safe. That's one hell of a crater.

Isn't her district full of her own people? They probably just blindly voted for someone like them.

Yeah, or that person in the car next to it has to be the luckiest driver in the world. Umm, I think every other driver in the world not anywhere near it was luckier.

The most appalling thing about it were the comments about the girl being responsible because she was a girl and young. Listening to flight control convo, I was amazed how relatively calm she was knowing she was about to die. At least they couldn't have felt anything at the end.

To my knowledge

Minnesota District 5

Population: 705,006

The Minnesota's 5th congressional district has the largest Somali population in the country making up about 3% of its total population.

14.3% Foreign-born population

50% female

39% married

58% white
18% black

Median household income $80,274

13.3% below poverty line

51.4% with Bachelor's degree or higher

It's liberal white people dude.

They love immigrants but hate poor white Americans.

I kid you not illegal immigrants pay thousands of dollars to get trafficked across the boarder into Texas and they're handed bus tickets to Minnesota and told that "there will be jobs there". I'm sure it's much similar in Illinois.

It sounds like the crew took risks before this incident. There's also the pilot and co-pilot dynamic and how the less experienced co-pilot may not speak out against the decisions of the senior pilot. I think I blame the corporate culture of putting profits over lives -- saving time and fuel by flying into storms. I guess severe turbulence can have a negative impact on the structural integrity of any plane over time and sure enough we're getting an indication that the plane broke apart in air. First thing the investigator always look for is 1)Human error and 2)Improper maintenance. As somebody that wanted to be a pilot growing up, I feel sad for this girl and everyone who's died. I think as passengers we deserve a good plane and good pilots. I hope the industry takes these considerations seriously.

It always looks better in movies.

Under FAA regulations, specifically 14 CFR § 91.3, the pilot in command (PIC) is ultimately responsible for the operation of the aircraft. This includes making critical decisions regarding safety and adherence to regulations.

Careless or Reckless Operation

FAA regulations also prohibit careless or reckless operation of an aircraft. This includes actions that endanger the life or property of others. If a pilot's decisions fall into this category, it may justify the co-pilot's assumption of control.

The FAA Advisory Circular 91-21.1D provides guidance on the use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) in aircraft.

In-flight use of electronic devices is allowed under certain conditions, but pilots must adhere to the FAA’s regulations. During non-critical phases of the flight, such as while cruising at high altitudes above 10,000 feet, pilots may use electronic devices for specific purposes related to flight operations. However, personal use, such as texting or making phone calls, remains prohibited.

I felt insecure about my earlier post but I just spent a couple of hours reading YouTube comments and I have a little more confidence back lol

The Good: Commercial flights are generally safe and it'll get safer by lessons learnt in this incident. Especially important as the 'iPhone generation' starts to enter the aviation industry. Looking forward to reading the NTSB reports. The radio calls made by the co-pilot is helpful and it paints the initial picture.

The Bad: "Trust the experts" narrative - I think the dead passengers thought they were trusting experts and look where that took them! According to some people, we as concerned passengers aren't allowed to look at the available data, apply logic to them and place opinions on the matter even if our lives are at stake. Just trust the experts! Understandably, sometimes it gets so confusing and people just result to an opinion like "There's nobody to blame"

The Ugly: Men and women arguing about "patriarchy" and "professionalism" - I'd say professional pilots fly planes for hours and hours and during their careers never kill a single passenger. Feminists will be feminists! Clearly, both people in that cockpit was at fault.

I hope the Dems don't (once again) think the result of the midterms was a mandate for the woke parts of their party. It was merely a no-vote for Trump, esp. in the South. They don't have a problem with his ideology; it's his competence and his presentation. Mostly, the economy. Who will they blame for the economy in 2028? Transition healthcare for transsexual inmates, of course.

I think it's time for me to dust off my Fearless DVD

One thing I've always wondered is why Q didn't save the plane! lol

Trump is done but MAGA will linger on. You know me, I think the empire is collapsing anyway!

“Jesus Christ knew he was God. So wake up and find out eventually who you really are. In our culture, of course, they’ll say you’re crazy and you’re blasphemous, and they’ll either put you in jail or in a nut house (which is pretty much the same thing). However if you wake up in India and tell your friends and relations, ‘My goodness, I’ve just discovered that I’m God,’ they’ll laugh and say, ‘Oh, congratulations, at last you found out.” ― Alan Watts

US voters across party lines back transgender sports bans

Four states have backed bans on biological males in female sports, including Democratic strongholds.

Measures passed in Arizona, Colorado, Washington, and Nebraska during Tuesday’s elections, which marked the first statewide ballot votes on the restrictions.

Arizona voters expanded existing restrictions, requiring school and athletic association teams to be designated male, female, or mixed based on biological sex. The measure also restricts access to bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms.

AMERICA IS BACK! No just kidding. It kinda sums up how stupid American elections are.

Anyway - I hope this paves a way for trans leagues in sports. Not kidding. He/she/they/it? Come play ball!

Who's blame for the economy in 2028? Cyberattacks erasing people's money. "You'll own nothing and be happy"

They say data centers took a huge hit on this midterm but I'm not taking that news very seriously.

^ so what do you think? Drug OD? Cardiac arrest from COVID shot? "Sucided"? Ghost of Pac? We shall see

Currently watching the internet blow up over Dave Chappelle's comments about Charlie Kirk. I think it's a bit sensationalized... Dave's made me laugh so many times even during tough times and sometimes I give people like that a 'free pass'. I've seen just a 15 second clip of it so I don't know for sure but maybe he shouldn't have said it and maybe he's getting bad at reading the room. As for Charlie, he certainly did not deserve to get killed but I never paid any attention to him nor did I ever consider him a free speech hero so... I don't care about what Dave said. There are so many disturbing things happening in the world today and what Dave said on stage has very little consequence in people's lives. It'll all be forgotten in 2 weeks anyway.

George Carlin's "List of people who ought to be killed" -- now that's how you mix social commentary with jokes!

Best pick from the YouTube comments

I swear a third of this comment section are far rightists who jerk off to the American flag and rainbow haired leftists whining about how George Carlin would be on their side when, in reality, he'd probably think they're both retards.

So, a couple of ugly ass podcasters, one named Jennifer Welch, got their sponsorships pulled for laughing at Charlie Kirk jokes. I haven't listened to any of the jokes because I assume they aren't crafty nor funny but the point is that they had some crappy ass sponsors -- one sold mattresses and the other sold bras, but the one that stuck out the most is ZipRecruiter -- one of those companies that control employment. Then I found out that ZipRecruiter "opened an R&D center in Israel and in 2018, claimed to have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm to increase the accuracy of job seeker/employer matches." Oh wow, better watch out about the conservative crap you post on the internet!! They're still seeking employment there according to LinkdIn. Typical of corporate bs, right? Jokes = bad, gotta make profits. Genocide = okay, gotta make profits.

This A.I. stuff goes deep doesn't it? Who the fuck is Charlie Kirk anyway? It sounds like he received millions of dollars from crazy conservatives. The evangelical, messiah, end-times people!!

Personally, I don't think Jesus is coming back to save us. He was likely a smart guy amongst retards, maybe what we would call a prophet, but he's not coming back to save us. That line of thinking goes along with the "heroism" crap that is rampant in our society today.

Listen, some people take leadership in times of struggle while others panic or take advantage for their self gain. It's just human nature.

Aviate - Navigate - Communicate. Ha! And when you realize it's over, don't seek reassurance from electronic devices -- just make your peace! Ha!
