At 11:30 AM I am looking at this image, and all of a sudden I see the urn I bought to put Drew Benton’s ashes in – with the image of the Titanic on it. I went to bed thinking of how devastated I was to learn Drew died a horrific death, and I put myself in this plane, then in the homes of the parents and siblings of the dead. It was dark when I went to bed. In the morning, I awoke……in hell!
Trump attacked Obama and his input when he was President, along with all black people, when he cast blame on DEI for the deaths of 67 human beings. I was going to post on a article that declared the Trumpire the winner of the Cold Civil War. I was going to declare the war was not over, because the Neo-Confederates have failed to defeat me, a Republican who is related to John Fremont via my late niece, Drew Taylor Rosamond Benton.
Hegeth reinstated the study of the Tuskegee Airmen after the Tea Party Confederates did away with it, for revenge in the taking down statues of Robert E. Lee who may be related to Drew and I. What the Confederate Trumpire is saying, is Black People – ruined America! If John McCain and Sarah Palin had served eight years, then America’s Greatness would – light up the world! This VERY DARK rewriting of American History, and the Demonizing of the 80 million Democrats who voted for Kamala Harris, is burning our nation – to the ground!

Hegseth, Britt accuse Air Force of ‘malicious’ pause as it reinstates training on Tuskegee Airmen
The civilizational inflection point in our cold civil war happened sometime between Donald Trump‘s second inaugural address on Monday and the end of his new presidency’s second day on Tuesday. At some indeterminate moment between Monday’s soaring midday speech, in which the first nonconsecutive two-term president in over 130 years artfully took a sledgehammer to the entire Obama-Biden era legacy without so much as uttering the men’s names, and Tuesday’s epochal executive order coming as close as legally possible to banning wokeism throughout the republic, the war ended. And as with the English capturing New Amsterdam from Peter Stuyvesant and the Dutch centuries prior, it happened without firing a single shot.
The maestro of Mar-a-Lago is known to fancy the Village People hit “Y.M.C.A.,” but perhaps the more apropos tune to blast at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this week is Queen’s anthem “We Are the Champions.”
Let’s take a step back.
Barack Obama, a Chicago radical in the Saul Alinsky/Bill Ayers mold, declared war on America during his 2008 presidential campaign. We know he declared war because he more or less said it: He vowed on Feb. 19, 2008, to “fundamentally transform America,” and one does not seek to “fundamentally transform” that which he loves and seeks to conserve. If that Freudian slip was our cold civil war’s Fort Sumter, then Obama’s presidency that followed was the extended opening campaign. Indeed, Obama did “fundamentally transform” America: He passed the nation’s largest new entitlement program since the Great Society, maligned cops and soured race relations, helped constitutionalize same-sex marriage, realigned our Middle East interests toward the fanatical Iranian regime, and more.
Trump baselessly blames DEI and Democrats for Washington DC plane crash
President scapegoats diversity and inclusion initiatives while addressing air traffic disaster that left 67 dead
Martin Pengelly in WashingtonThu 30 Jan 2025 13.44 ESTShare
Donald Trump used the plane crash in Washington DC to attack his political enemies, claiming Democrats were responsible for declining standards in air traffic control and that the disaster “could have been” caused by diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies at the Federal Aviation Administration.
During a press conference on Thursday about the crash, Trump turned what might have been a sombre briefing into a baseless rant against DEI despite no evidence of a link with the plane crash.
The president was backed to the hilt by the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, who said “we can only accept the best and the brightest” in positions affecting passenger safety, and the defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, who echoed: “The era of DEI is gone at the defence department and we need the best and brightest.”
Then came the vice-president, JD Vance, who claimed, “we want to hire the best people” who are “actually competent enough to do the job”. He said without offering evidence that hundreds of people had sued the US government because “they would like to be air traffic controllers, but they were turned away because of the color of their skin”.
Trump returned to the lectern to claim that “very powerful tests” for competence in air traffic control were “terminated” by Joe Biden.
When pressed on his citation of DEI as a cause of the crash by reporters after his address, Trump said: “It just could have been.”
He also claimed that when he was president between 2017 and 2021 the US “had a much higher standard [in air traffic control] than anybody else”, then accused the Biden administration of letting standards slip.
Asked how he could so quickly decide diversity was to blame for the crash near Reagan National airport, Trump said: “Because I have common sense, OK, and unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.”
Officials said 67 people died in the crash on Wednesday night, when a military Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet. By late Thursday morning, 28 bodies had been retrieved from the Potomac River. The identities of the victims are beginning to be reported.
Trump also mused about errors by the helicopter pilot.
Since returning to the White House earlier this month, Trump has made attacks on DEI policies in federal government a central and highly performative part of his rush of hardline executive orders.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, he quoted in familiar scattergun style from what he said were “various articles [that] appeared prior to my entering office”.
“And here’s one,” Trump said. “‘The FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.’ That is amazing. And then it says FAA … says people with severe disabilities are most underrepresented segment of the workforce, [they] said, ‘They want them in, and they want them, they can be air traffic controllers.’ I don’t think so. This was January 14, so that was a week before I entered office. They put a big push to put diversity into the FAA’s program.”
He appeared to be reading from a report published by Fox News.
Trump continued: “Brilliant people have to be in those positions, and their lives are actually shortened, very substantially shortened because of the stress where you have many, many planes coming into one target, and you need a very special talent and a very special genius to be able to do it.”
Asked if he would “fire some of the diversity hires in federal government”, Trump said: “I would say yes. If we find that people aren’t mentally competent … these are not people who should be doing these particular jobs.”
More conventionally, Trump opened the briefing with a moment of silence, then lamented “a dark and excruciating night in our nation’s capital and in our nation’s history, and a tragedy of terrible proportions”.
He also said he could “only begin to imagine the agony that [victims families were] feeling, nothing worse”, adding: “On behalf of the first lady, myself and 340 million Americans, our hearts are shattered alongside yours, and our prayers are with you now and in the days to come.”
A video on the Women Airforce Service Pilots was also temporarily removed

Veteran Air Force commander joins race for Congress, says moment ‘too important’ for career politicians.
Former Air Force Brigadier General Chris “Mookie” Walker announced he was launching a campaign for Congress because the moment for the nation was “too important” to leave to career politicians.
The Air Force has resumed a course on the first Black pilots unit that was temporarily yanked in what officials claim was an effort to ensure compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order banning DEI in the federal government.
Following backlash from legislators and even the new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Air Force claimed reports it had yanked a course teaching new recruits about the 15,000 Black pilots, mechanics and cooks in the segregated Army of World War II known as the Tuskegee Airmen were “inaccurate.”
However, Hegseth wrote on X Sunday that the course’s removal had been “immediately reversed.”
Lt. Gen. Brian Robinson, Air Education and Training Command commander, said in a statement that the segment that included videos on the Tuskegee Airmen was temporarily yanked on Jan. 23 because a section of it that included DEI material was directed to be removed.
A video on the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), a paramilitary group of female pilots in World War II, was also temporarily removed.

“We believe this adjustment to curriculum to be fully aligned with the direction given in the DEI executive order,” he said. “No curriculum or content highlighting the honor and valor of the Tuskegee Airmen or Women Air Force Service Pilots has been removed from Basic Military Training.”

“No Airmen or Guardians will miss this block of instruction due to the revision, however, one group of trainees had the training delayed. The revised training, which focuses on the documented historic legacy and decorated valor with which these units and airmen fought for our nation in World War II and beyond will continue on 27 January.”
Gen. David Allvin, Air Force chief of staff, explained further, “Allow me to clearly dispel a rumor – while we are currently reviewing all training courses to ensure compliance with the executive orders, no curriculum or content highlighting the honor and valor of the Tuskegee Airmen or Women Air Force Service Pilots has been removed from Basic Military Training.”

“From day one, I directed our Air Force to implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the president swiftly and professionally – no equivocation, no slow-rolling, no foot-dragging. When policies change, it is everyone’s responsibility to be diligent and ensure all remnants of the outdated policies are appropriately removed, and the new ones are clearly put in place,” he went on in a statement.
“Despite some inaccurate opinions expressed in reporting recently, our Air Force is faithfully executing all the president’s executive orders. Adhering to policy includes fully aligning our force with the direction given in the DEI executive order. Disguising and renaming are not compliance, and I’ve made this clear. If there are instances of less-than-full compliance, we will hold those responsible accountable.”
Before the Air Force announced it would resume training on the airmen on Monday, Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., had accused it of “malicious compliance.”
“I have no doubt Secretary Hegseth will correct and get to the bottom of the malicious compliance we’ve seen in recent days. President Trump celebrated and honored the Tuskegee Airmen during his first term,” she said.

“Amen! We’re all over it, Senator. This will not stand,” Hegseth echoed.
WASP were vital to ferrying warplanes throughout World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen, an active fighter unit from 1940 to 1952, were the first soldiers who flew during World War II. The group destroyed more than 100 German aircraft.
The nation’s armed forces were not desegregated until 1948, under an executive order from then-President Harry Truman.
