`1.? Do you think Reagan National Airport in Washington DC should be closed to commercial aircraft as a result of the midair collision yesterday?

It would be the easy solution and therefore what is most likely th happen - whether or not it makes any sense.

2.? Do you think RFK will be confirmed for Secretary of HHS?

I hope so but would give him even odds.

3.? Will Trump be i mpeached again - if so what for?

For being unpopular with the party that controls the House - remember all it takes is a majoirty vote of either? a quorum or the entire membrshio - no particular reason is necessary.

4.? US destroyrers were targeted by Houthi drones this week - is this another Tonkin Gulf incident leading to a larger war?

Probably not but I?hope we do? something besides bomb an aspirin factory

5.? Do you think the overall media does a good job of exposing what is going on?

No really - I think they do what they can to sell advertzements.

1.? Do you think Reagan National Airport in Washington DC should be closed to commercial aircraft as a result of the midair collision yesterday?

How about move the helicopter base?? Why is the army having night training flights in January in black helicopters around some of the most dense commercial airspace in the country?

2.? Do you think RFK will be confirmed for Secretary of HHS?

Probably, but not without some controversy.

3.? Will Trump be impeached again - if so what for?

Only if the House turns Democratic in two years, and then it's almost a certainty that he'll get impeached for something, but it's unlikely they will win a vote for conviction, so it'll all be a show as it was the last two times.

4.? US destroyrers were targeted by Houthi drones this week - is this another Tonkin Gulf incident leading to a larger war?

Trump is not a war hawk like LBJ and Bush II were.? It's unlikely that we will get sucked into another endless war in the Middle East in his watch, unless Israel is about to fall.

5.? Do you think the overall media does a good job of exposing what is going on?

No. The?media invents a lot of scandals and misses a lot as well. ? Trump paying off a blackmailer wasn't news, neither?was there a connection between Trump and Russia.? Hunter Biden's laptop was determined to be fake until it wasn't, and Biden's brother's influence peddling as well as Hunter Biden's obvious influence peddling went largely unexposed, as did Hillary Clinton's remarkable skill in turning a $2,000 loan into $100,000 of profit in the futures market.

The helicopter came out a base used for security ot entire DC area.? Closing that base would make security harder and more expensive.? A different question would be what is the helicopter doing on a familiarization flight at night.? But eventually I t think it will trun out to be a combination of all agents getting overwhelmed by circumstance - the controller being overworked because FAA is not hiring enough well qualified individuals, the airliner crew because they were concentrating on instruments at the last seconds of a? normal landing, and the helicopter crew because they were practicing difficult maneuvers.

Human error driven by politics of DEI and fiscal considerations limiting the number of crew? members - no one left to watch out for visual problems.

Another question is why the training was conducted in the middle of a heavy arrival time instead of 1 am, when there are few flights arriving.
