The horrific crime of Laken Riley by repeated misdemeanor criminal and illegal mysterious Jose Ibarra, 26, a Colombian resident, was preventable—had federal immigration rules just been enforced by the Biden administration.
President Joe Biden made reference to the bereaved Riley in his most recent State of the Union address. However, Biden misidentified her as the soccer coach at USC!
Biden just properly noted that she “was killed by an’ unlawful.'”
True—but almost instantly the Left was infuriated over Biden’s appropriate use of the supposedly indifferent “illegal” for the criminal Ibarra.
Biden quickly apologised for identifying her killer as an illegal alien, but did not for the mistake of naming the target.
He gave the impression that he was more unhappy about offending his open-borders base than about the brutal beating of a 22-year-old United nursing student.
Any concern over the rising number of Americans who have fallen victim to international groups and thieves is overshadowed by Biden’s “woke open-borders” plan. He appears unaware of the roughly 100, 000 American who pass away from fentanyl imported across empty borders.
The latest leftist agenda includes a large portion of its manifesto of philosophical humanity juxtaposed with concrete callousness toward people.
The Biden administration intends to impose rules for electronic vehicle usage and impose a ban on natural fuel devices. These measures are supposed to” save” the planet, but they actually increase the cost and danger of living for the middle class and the poor in the present.
We are informed that men who were medically bred and then transitioned to women have a legal right to compete in female sports.
For trans activism may appear sympathetic in the intangible. Despite competing against the much larger physical structures and natural power of switching men, thousands of women are put in danger in the masonry.
Additionally, tens of thousands of young women athletes are losing opportunities to flourish and laid records, destroying over a half-century of children’s efforts to compete with men.
Scott Kirby, chairman of United Airlines, claimed in 2021 that his business was now committed to ensuring that 50 % of all aircraft who have received training will be either people or people of color.
The Federal Aviation Administration had related variety, equity, and inclusion demands for hiring air traffic controllers.
In 2023, Boeing bragged that it was using “inclusion” as a standard for professional settlement. Pay may be based a lot on whether new employees were hired based on their race, gender, and sexual preference.
In the philosophical, ensuring that air travel “looks like America” is no doubt a noble goal.
However, lives will be wasted if this canonization of meritocracy disregards the safety of the roughly 3 million British airline passengers who fly 45, 000 times per day.
Things has now extremely bad with the entire flight industry, according to some data and current empirical evidence.
Due to a number of Federal Aviation Administration system problems, thousands of private planes were canceled or delayed in January 2023. Over the last 10 ages, near- accidents and collisions of corporate locations have more than doubled.
Even weirder, in the last two weeks only, United Airlines suffered many near- catastrophic events that may have involved staff lapses, air traffic controller errors, or problems with Boeing aircraft building or maintenance—or all three. Secret services have eluded the public, in mysterious ways.
Due to failing hydraulics, a United flight from San Francisco to Mexico had to make an emergency landing. Another United flight bound for San Francisco from Sydney, Australia, had to turn around due to a “maintenance issue”. Another flight leaving from Chicago O’Hare International Airport also experienced undisclosed “maintenance issues” and then traveled home.
A United aircraft slammed into the grass at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport as a result of a runway taxi off. Another San Francisco-bound United flight lost a wheel during takeoff!
Another United flight made an emergency landing after one of its engines caught fire, making it from Houston to Florida. A United flight leaving Hawaii for San Francisco at about the same time had an engine failure in midair.
What officials called a “technical event during the flight that caused a strong movement” on a Boeing jet caused dozens of injuries on the flight from Australia to New Zealand.
Anytime ideology and dogma trump merit, logic, and safety, the result is predictably scary and dangerous.
Regardless of race or gender, America needs to reevaluate its priorities to safeguard the lives and aspirations of all its citizens.
Our elites will undoubtedly create hell for us all if they continue to play god and mandat their incarnations of heaven and earth.
