We know the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a rare nationwide ground stop on Friday the 13th. We've been told it was due to widespread telecommunications and radar outages across air traffic control facilities.
Duffy claimed the air traffic control routers and switches became overloaded with data from newer digital systems, causing inconsistent radar and communication readings.
The problem with their press conference was no one trusted Trump's two lickspittles who twisted the event into a partisan call to Congress in an effort to please dear leader.
Deflecting blame Duffy said it was all Congress's fault for not adequately funding the FAA. Of course, he didn't mention that in 2019 when he was a congressman that he voted against an appropriations bill that would have given the FAA more than $10 billion in funding.
It was like a cold opening for Saturday Night Live as the two MAGA buffoons performed like a tag-team who hadn't rehearsed their parts resulting in conflicting stories.
Make it up on the run Markwayne Mullin claimed there were no signs of a cyberattack or nefarious act, calling the failure mechanically driven. One problem with that assertion was no one had time to conduct a cyber investigation yet which would have either ruled out an attack or confirmed it.
So why have 60 air traffic controllers disputed the explanations given by the two Trumplicans?
Washington Examiner national security reporter Anna Giaritelli told CNN's Laura Coates that she had spoken with 60 air traffic controllers, and none of them supported Duffy's account.
Giaritelli asked them why any major changes to the FAA's system would have happened on a busy Friday afternoon. She explained that such technology upgrades are normally performed during quieter periods, particularly in the middle of the night when air traffic is minimal.
The halt marked the longest U.S. nationwide ground stop since September 11, 2001. Because Americans don't trust Trump and his cabinet members it's only natural that an investigation should take place.
However, I don't expect that investigation to come until the next congress in January. If it's held before that it will be a cover-up operation by MAGA Republicans.
What really happened on Friday the 13th is an open question.
Was it a cyberattack? Was it a 2025 project goal to privatize our aviation industry by artificially creating a crisis to show the government can't handle the industry?
Was it just a harmless glitch as the regime claims? Or did it have anything to do with the fact that the FAA had installed a new artificial intelligence tool to all 22 of its air route traffic control centers on Nov. 10, three days before the outage?
As it Stands, because Americans don't trust Trump and his crooked regime they have to be wary of its claims and hope the truth somehow emerges.
