The Very Strange U.S. Economy

Grocery prices are at their most expensive. There were more job cuts in October 2025 than any October since 2003. Credit card debt has reached an all-time high of 1.3 trillion.

The government is shut down, which is now affecting air travel across forty airports. SNAP benefits have not been reinstated and still are a point of contention. And the Federal Reserve is making the money printer go brrrrr again….What is going on? Here’s more from Really Graceful.

Trump’s Rx To Heal America

President Donald Trump wants to make America whole again. He is righting inequities in foreign trade, in the health industry, and in the skies. The past few days have seen monumental changes designed to do that.

* The new trade agreement with Great Britain is projected to increase American exports by $5 billion, mostly agricultural products like beef and ethanol, but also aerospace equipment, including Boeing jets.

  • Here’s an update on Casey Means, a wellness influencer, who is Trump’s pick for the U.S. Surgeon General’s position.
  • Trump has curbed gain of function research that was responsible for creation of the Covid virus. This is a first step toward ending the threat of a lab-created pandemic.
  • Finally,  there is a new push to transform U.S. air traffic control and make it a much more capable system to meet increasing demands in the future. This falls under the purview of Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary. Much of the improvements relate to tasks performed by the Federal Aviation Administration. Here’s more from Lori Colley.

Collision: Sabotage Or Neglect?

A U.S. Army combat veteran breaks down what could have led to the plane crash in Washington DC. The Blackhawk helicopter that ramrodded the American Airlines commuter plane was off course and flying above its scheduled altitude.

Did it deliberately smack into the plane as an act of terrorism or sabotage? Or was this an “accident” caused by neglect, either on the part of air traffic control or the crew of the Blackhawk?

Those are the questions for which we don’t yet have answers, and won’t have answers until the black boxes from the plane and helicopter are retrieved and studied. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.

Little Harry Gets It Wrong!

Little Harry Sisson, the leftist mouthpiece, jumped down the throat of President Donald Trump after Trump cited air traffic gaffes contributing to the aerial collision over Ronald Reagan National Airport outside Washington DC. Now, we have come to see that Trump was right.

There were supposed to be two controllers on duty at the time of the crash, but a supervisor had allowed one of the controllers to go home early.

Sisson should go back to blaming Trump for the price of eggs! Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.

Flight Cancellations Growing

As many as 2,000 flights have been canceled as airline workers stage a walkoff to protest the vaccine mandates. Air traffic control workers seem to be coordinating the walkoffs., but  there were also online rumors of pilots joining the protests. Many different airlines have been effected. More from Vincent James at The Red Elephants.

Here, Tim Pool provides more details. He says Southwest Airlines alone canceled 2,000 flights over the weekend, while other airlines, including Spirit, also saw disruptions. The employees joining the walkoffs are not only tired of the vaccine mandates, they are tired because of the mandates. The reason: Some employees are now gone, so working hours for everyone left have skyrocketed. So workers feel they need a break.

Shut It Down

The media has gone black on the topic, but rumors are persisting of a possible air traffic controller’s walkout over the vax. More from The Salty Cracker.
