Petey Bootyjudge Spent $80 Billion of Taxpayer Money on DEI Nonsense While Delaying Vital Upgrades to the Air Traffic Control System
He's one of the leading Democrat candidates for the presidency.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office -- with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders. In one meeting, Buttigieg -- who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run -- told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, "and so why would that be in his interest?" sources said.Petey Bootyjudge recently got 0% support from black Democrats in a poll. And that wasn't a fluke -- in 2019, when he was "running for president," he also got 0% support from black Democrats in a poll. Blacks are not as enamored of gay white men as the Democrats' other major constituency, leftwing moral scold white women, are. He is fixated on the idea that he must be president. So it's very, very likely that he diverted that $80 billion from necessary hiring and upgrades to racial pandering just to boost his profile among blacks. It failed.
What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years -- at least half of the DOT's entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show. "He was definitely pushing an agenda," an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had "little to no interest" and took "definitely zero action" toward air traffic control modernization. Buttigieg spent his time in President Joe Biden's cabinet blaming the airlines for their delays and "vilifying" the industry as a whole while denying his department's DEI agenda led to any air traffic control staffing shortages or was maintaining an ailing safety system that hasn't been updated since the Carter administration, sources told The Post. Vice President JD Vance speaking at a podium, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking at a press conference, Governor Gavin Newsom speaking at a press conference. The flying public paid the price, insiders said. "At first, [the Department of Transportation] and he were reluctant to say there was an air traffic controller shortage or that the shortage had anything to do with flight delays or flight cancellations," the air industry official said. ... Despite the requested changes to the air traffic control systems early in his term, Buttigieg seemed more interested in being "good on TV" than fixing the archaic systems that were flying up to 182 million passengers per year, officials said. ... In an urgent letter to Buttigieg's DOT in April 2024, air industry trade association officials warned that at the current rate of hiring, it could take as long as 90 years for the FAA to reach its targeted staffing levels in some of the critical New York air traffic control centers. At the same time, the focus of the department under Buttigieg also shifted, with roughly 400 DEI-related grants approved, according to a review of federal spending between 2021 and 2024. Just 60 grants for diversity, equity or inclusion initiatives were approved during the previous administration, totaling no more than a few billion dollars. Programs such as "Justice40" ended up shelling out 55% of around $150 billion in infrastructure investments to "disadvantaged communities," pursuant to an executive order Biden signed to "advance equitable outcomes."

He couldn't turn that into an even halfway decent showing in New Hampshire. Yeah, he was second, but...24%. And no one takes NH seriously anyway.
4 years can change a lot, but I don't think his 4 years helped him. His name recognition is probably no higher, and he tied himself to ridiculous shit for the entire 4 years.

Fedgov was spending 4X as much under Biden has it had 20 years before.
Since the quality of government services has gone down over that time where did all the money go?
And the simple answer is it was stolen via graft, just like this example.
Bootyjuice took money that was supposed to be used for one thing and instead gave it to his friends and political allies

Well, obviously the money he doled out to those specific organizations would ultimately be back channeled and laundered to him and connected associates more so than if the money was directed at more useful enterprises.
Again, at a minimum, 1/3 of any local, state or federal budget or spending is straight graft and corruption.

But it all comes down to who casts the ballots for them in the urban rotten boroughs. Do they get sufficient bribes to cast those votes as the DNC wants, or do they just allow the real inner city turn out that is much, much lower?

Petey Bootyjudge Spent $80 Billion of Taxpayer Money on DEI Nonsense While Delaying Vital Upgrades to the Air Traffic Control System
Perhaps I'm having a lot of trouble with large numbers like 'billion', but I cannot imagine that all that money could have been spent in that manner. Are there really enough DEI grifters out there to absorb all of that money? You'd think that some of it would have filtered over to groups like NAACP. They only have an endowment of $150 million or so. DOT money would grow them by an order of magnitude, and it doesn't look like they got that much. The Gates Foundation has at least $70 billion in assets, by comparison.

34 Sidebar item about Cosby actor's death:
>>>Warner was in Costa Rica on a family vacation and drowned while swimming near Cocles after allegedly being caught by a high current on Sunday afternoon.
Why the "allegedly"? Is there any reason to suspect that his death was other than reported?

They remembered he was of African descent, and journalistic reflex kicked in.
(that's a knock on racist urinalists, not people of African descent, by the way.)

Oregon Department of Transportation is laying off workers.
Apparently this began as of July 7. For note, the Oregon Legislature has a supermajority for the Dems who can set State spending where they want it, but the OBBB had reductions in monies going to states, and Sec DOT has made some rules about how federal money has to be spent.
1. Why is ODOT cutting jobs and services?
ODOT is facing a historic operations and maintenance funding crisis caused by flattening gas tax revenues as Oregonians drive more efficient vehicles, rising costs, and legal limits on how transportation funds can be used. Now, ODOT is forced to make deep cuts, including laying off hundreds of employees and scaling back essential services like road maintenance, snow removal, and safety operations.
Without new revenue or more revenue flexibility, ODOT does not have the ability to address the crisis without layoffs.

Buttplug had no idea about ATC, airlines, supply chains, and everything aviation and maritime. No pot holes. Dealing with pot holes is his sole claim to being a marvelous executive. And we only have his word for it. At least AOC doesn't lie and claim she has experience running or fixing anything.
Come to think of it, FJB had and still has no claim to doing anything well, executive-wise.

Off topic somewhat, but after the close-call incident in Minot with the B-52, I talked to my son, who is stationed at Minot AFB. Military followed all protocols, but Minot International's tower didn't notify them about the inbound plane. Interestingly, the ATC's at Minot International aren't FAA employees, but private contractors. I expect that will change quickly. Also, my son said the base commander was on the bomber, as it was performing a flyover of the state fair.

Jesse Kelly has a good take on this. He points out that we look at this spending for DEI at the expense of efficiency and performance of the ATC and see it as a failure. We see someone wrapped up in identity pandering who got caught and see it as a failure on their part.
When, in fact, this is an absolute success in their eyes. This was his goal, and he completed the task. They don't have the same goals as we do. They don't have the same scoring system as we do. And, they don't have the same conscious that we do.

1. It's hilarious how they see this empty suit who chases after every progressive shibboleth to be a good candidate.
2. It's kind of interesting that they realize he's a non-started for the electorate. I'm sure they're blaming knuckle-dragging Rethuglicans, but there's probably an implication about how Buttigieg couldn't survive a Democrat primary.

My long shot guess:
They wait just long enough after dropping this initial tidbit of incrimination on Obama, then drop the entire fucking hammer in public. This will never see a court room, where nasty lawyers can get their mitts all over the story. It will be dumped on the court of public opinion, and then Trump will make a gigantic show out of pardoning Obama and a handful of other associated miscreants "For the good of America", "So we can move forward", or something like that.
Least risk of the crooked "Justice" "System" fucking everything up that way, and will take all the eyeballs off of anyone still saying "what about The List".

Prediction: Buttigieg won’t even win the Iowa caucuses in 28… whether or not they learn to count it won’t matter. That he’s even considered a top tier contender is a sign of our declining civilization. He’s the very definition of an empty suit and a degenerate to boot

I've mentioned it before, but my sister is a progressive who is active in Democrat politics (she works for a Congressman).
And she HATES Buttigieg. Sees him as an empty suit.
Obviously, she's only reflective of herself and not necessarily meant to represent some larger electorate, but I just find it interesting that the love for Buttigieg isn't exactly...universal. Or even respect for him on the left.

My take is it's just a journalistic tic by which the author is trying to convey the reason given isn't necessarily correct. It may have been a current, or he may have overexerted himself and found himself too far from shore to self rescue, or it may have been some other probably not nefarious reason.

But AWFL's essentially view Hispanics, Blacks, etc. as auxiliaries and worker bees to their Revolution, not equals.

"That word, "treason" is being batted around a bit. People used to only use it in hushed back rooms, while looking over their shoulder.
I hope this isn't some sort of Jedi mind fuck going on." - Martini Farmer
I'd guess it's mostly just more of the incorrect use of the word, if people are talking about formal legal issues. As defined in the constitution, it doesn't seem applicable to any of the stuff being discussed. The actual question is which criminal statutes might apply, and be feasibly used to prosecute.
See "military tribunals!" and "Gitmo!" for other constantly and incorrectly used references and terms that are emotively satisfying to the users.
"Treason" as "betrayal", certainly is appropriate. So that's the way I choose to interpret the word in this context.

Federal agents follow man into Southern California grocery store
https://tinyurl.com/2ppbjd9u
A video showing federal agents walking through an Inland Empire grocery store Monday morning prompted a call for answers by community advocates.
The video shared by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ICIJ) showed agents exiting an “employees only” area at the Stater Bros. location on West Hold Boulevard in Ontario.
The incident prompted ICIJ Executive Director Javier Hernandez to ask why the agents were allowed into the store and expressed concerns over the Ontario Police Department’s role in the operation.
Stater Bros. issued a statement Monday afternoon regarding the incident.
"Unannounced, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents informed the Store Manager at our Ontario Stater Bros. Market that they were conducting surveillance on an individual at a nearby donut shop located within the same shopping plaza. According to the agents, the individual entered our store, prompting them to follow him inside"

"I do not understand white women's obsession with gays & trannies. "
They stand with trannies to look prettier in contrast. There used to be one fattie in every female group for the same reason. Then, they all got fat.

150 147 "Treason" as "betrayal", certainly is appropriate. So that's the way I choose to interpret the word in this context.

Sedition is probably a more accurate term for what Obama and his lackeys did.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
=======
From the Brits (and other places with kings), treason was an all purpose word because opposition to the king of any sort (who embodied the people literally) was treason. So politics often became complaining about the government ministers instead of the king. Much harder to make the treason charge publicly useful in these cases because kings often dispatched their ministers as scapegoats for bad policies and outcomes.
Sedition came around in common use later.

>>I suggest simply rerunning very old Letterman shows before he went political in Colbert's time slot or dig up Craig Ferguson if he would do a show again.
The Letterman Show was a joint production with World Wide Pants and CBS, CBS would have to enter into a broadcast license agreement to air the shows and get the blessing.
Plus, there really isn't a large enough audience to make it worthwhile.

"BEIJING, July 22 (Reuters) - China's hardened rhetoric against price wars among producers is raising expectations Beijing may be about to kick off industrial capacity cuts in a long-awaited, but challenging, campaign against deflation that carries risks to economic growth.
Communist Party leaders pledged this month to step up regulation of aggressive price-cutting, with state media running its harshest warnings yet against what it describes as a form of industrial competition that damages the economy."

Gotta fill the air gap if Colbert is shutting down prematurely. Cheaply made shows ready to spin up at a moment's notice are either reruns, news interview like Nightline, or a vastly shrunken Colbert show without its lead and many of the writers, etc.
Given the lefties being upset at CBS for Colbert's and perhaps Stewart's demise at Comedy Central, then a new replacement only serves as a target for boycott by the Dems and from their lefty 'stars'.

Polling of black voters shows Cuomo with 32% and Mamdani with 35%. Adams is sucking hind tit with 14%.
If Adams drops out Cuomo has a shot at winning.

Massive resistance won't end well for blue states. It didn't for Southern states as well.
------------
The South chose to divorce themselves from the Yankees. The Law of Lincoln states: That if your siblings, spouse or children wish to leave you, you are permitted to kill them in order to preserve a union that no longer exits. Yeah, crazy town.

>>Gotta fill the air gap if Colbert is shutting down prematurely.
They will probably fill it with something in current production as a rerun or infomercials.
In order to air re-runs of Letterman, besides working out the deal, they would have to maintain a production team to select the shows and edit them for content and current broadcast protocols, practices and policies.
It's simply not worth it, nobody is going to watch that show at levels that would make it worth while.
Letterman Clips already air on other platforms.
So the worlds need for David Letterman is filled by other means.

I think that animates a large segment of leftists, but unrestricted immigration runs counter to that, which makes me view depopulation as a secondary motivator to division.
Let me make it more precise then: depopulation of Caucasians and other known troublemakers. (At this point a significant number of American blacks and Hispanics are in that group).
All the third worlders being brought in are used to living in tyranny and will vote for it with no second thoughts. When WEF neo-feudalism is declared they want to make sure there are no peasants with independent thoughts.

The tonight show was corporate humor and Leno was perfect for that. Letterman was brilliantly quirky and irreverent and that worked better in the later hour

=======
From the Brits (and other places with kings), treason was an all purpose word because opposition to the king of any sort (who embodied the people literally) was treason. So politics often became complaining about the government ministers instead of the king. Much harder to make the treason charge publicly useful in these cases because kings often dispatched their ministers as scapegoats for bad policies and outcomes.
Sedition came around in common use later.
Posted by: whig at July 22, 2025 12:52 PM (ctrM5)

Pretty much this. The same reason they slap a "save the earth" bumper sticker on the luxury SUV they drive around their town to take their one kid to soccer practice.

I think when NBC picked Leno over Letterman, it broke something in Letterman.
Posted by: whig at July 22, 2025 01:01 PM (ctrM5)
I think that’s right. Letterman was never the same as the Classic version once he got to CBS. Still funny just not the same. I always thought his best fit was the time slot after the tonight show. The tonight show was corporate humor and Leno was perfect for that. Letterman was brilliantly quirky and irreverent and that worked better in the later hour

They love raising things up and then tearing them down. Look at celebrity culture and how the media likes to make their flavor of the day and then bludgeon it beyond recognition.
Leftists will feed all their current "allies" to the islamists without batting a single eyelash. Not one.
Same way they laugh right now at a female volleyball player who gets her face broken by a tranny. It's a sickness.

This will never see a court room, where nasty lawyers can get their mitts all over the story.

Process crimes most likely. But I don't see now how any of those can apply to the kingpin, the "ringleader" as Trump called him today.
We'll see.
Waaaay back when most of these atrocities were becoming known (some just in outline), I would frequently comment that many outrageous, damaging actions in question could well be perfectly "legal". Our system relies on voters and political accountability above all. That is - the founders effed up, they trusted us.

All the third worlders being brought in are used to living in tyranny and will vote for it with no second thoughts. When WEF neo-feudalism is declared they want to make sure there are no peasants with independent thoughts.

Because too many of even "our" people watch the network "news", the lack of effectiveness hasn't really cost any of those elected officials. So they continue stuffing their pockets as fast as they can while our systems slowly (at first) deteriorate.

You have to be at war with someone to commit treason?
So when some congressman is sleeping with a Chi Nah spy, or when some Senator has a Chi Nah spy working for them for 20 years, that's not treason?
Or when Snowden released shedloads of data on what our government, especially the CIA is doing behind our backs?
Lots of people here said Snowden was a traitor, and should be shot for treason.
I don't know how or why being at war would be a deciding factor.

I think there are some mutual contracts between affiliated local stations (which are still profitable btw) and the national network covering airtime. Mebbe the affiliates want the newly available time slot or maybe not. But as such, they get more of the revenue from it than from national shows (if my dated memory serves).
And that suggests an alternative--put a sports talk show on as CBS Sports is still one of the pillars remaining at that network.

Craig Ferguson chose to step down as host in December 2014, when his contract was set to expire in June 2014, but he agreed to a six-month extension to allow CBS time to find a replacement. He was eventually replaced by James Corden.
According to reports, Ferguson wanted to explore other opportunities and felt it was time for a change.

I get them confused, as I zoned out during the Biden Error.
And, yes, I could look it up but am not going to.
Is Pete the ghey trans looking weirdo who stole a woman's luggage? I figured he thought that was his role!
I try not to remember pre 11/6/24, when I knew we were saved.
Similar to the witches Ace wrote about yesterday who are in an alternate universe, been there, coven! I beat them to it during Biden's stumbling, stuttering, cluster of dimwittery. I simply igored that they were there vs sending bad vibes or reading Tarot Cards like a ninny. Much less waking at 0400 to send evil vibes or meditate. I am happy to sleep through early mornings.
I did learn how to make potato voodoo dolls once during a violent Duke basketball game. No potatoes to waste on Joe and Jill. No hexes.
Ok, like with Barky, I admit to hoping he'd fall down the stairs to AF-1. But that is the baddest thing I thought, being angelic.

The FNM, pop culture, and the education industry tell young women they can only be successful if they get a degree and spent a decade or so in the working world before having a child.
Of course women's fertility declines starting at around 28 and craters in the mid 30s.
Realistically the advice young women should be given is if they want to have kids to start looking for a husband when they graduate HS, they'll be plenty of time for a career AFTER you have kids...

It seems a bit broader by only requiring them to be enemies. Is China at war with the US? I'd say in the common sense, if not in the legal sense.

You have to be at war with someone to commit treason?

18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
>>>The term “enemies,” as used in the second clause, according to its settled meaning, at the time the constitution was adopted, applies only to the subjects of a foreign power in a state of open hostility with us. It does not embrace rebels in insurrection against their own government.
UNITED STATES v. GREATHOUSE et al.
Disclaimer: I make no guarantees whether GREATHOUSE is current law.
Point is generally that people misuse the T-word often.

Treason, schmeason: the word you are looking for is sedition! Treason has a very particular description in the Constitution to try to stop people from bandying it about they way they are on this blog. You can’t convict of treason for mere sedition. Of course, the question is if you can convict a high ranking Democrat of anything at all!

My sense is that Lincoln was way over his head on day one and was lead by his advisors who were rampant abolitionists. Everything Lincoln did made things worse cuz his advisors wanted things worse.

I would rate that as true for Lincoln and even his Cabinet secretaries thought as much at the time.
But, I think the South would have went anyway, in the crisis of 1850, the fire eaters nearly did so except the older Jacksonian Unionist position of key members like Speaker of the House made the deal. It destroyed the Whig party as a result and badly damaged the Democrat party as a national one. After that, the fireeaters gained in Southern state after state while the Northern Dems dithered with different formula such as popular sovereignty, etc.
Dred Scott ended the appeasement strategy as the corollary to its decision was that slavery was permissible everywhere which the North immediately disavowed.
But, what the South did not realize, is that the North would fight. If you read contemporaneous letters among the fireeaters at the time, they believe the North was too soft to fight and would let the South go without one.

------------------
Slavery was already collapsing. If not for the blood lust slavery would have ended by the 1870s cuz hired labor is cheaper than slaves. Duh. The idea that a modern European leader would go full Caine on his brother Able and commit Total War, to do so, is obscene. No nation, other than US, did that.

The person making the assertion is legally bound to have proof to make such an assertion. That would be you. If you made that statement without actual knowledge of whether or not it was true, that is reckless disregard which is a necessary element in a public figure suing for libel.
You would be far wiser to claim instead that it is your opinion that Mike Johnson's behavior is similar to that of someone with something to hide.
Madcow got away with slander that way on her show in court by clever phrasing.

Treason is the common word usage, sedition is the lawyerly language thereof of one particular instance. Espionage is another and so on.
The reason why treason in the US Constitution is construed narrowly is because of Justice Marshall sitting as circuit judge in the trial of Aaron Burr for treason. His opinion construed treason narrowly and strictly instead of broadly.

How do you spend $80 billion a year on DEI?
They could have hired the entire black population of DC and paid them $75,000 a year for about $21 billion a year.
That’s is unbelievable as an actual number.
There’s no way that’s where the money went.

Trump doesn't know the proper definition of enough terms.
It's best taken as rhetoric, because the Constitution disagrees. Unless we go down the Dem route of arguing "Well anything that weakens the US, helps out our 'enemies'." And thus try to leverage special pleading about what "weakens the US".

Trump knows exactly what treason means. He's using it because it's catchier than 'sedition' and more attention-grabbing than 'insurrection', which is what the Dems have been using for four years.
What's most interesting is that Trump is even using the word at all. Bongino and Patel (and Bondi) specifically brought up Epstein in a way that Trump never did, so he didn't have to get dragged into actions that they may or may not have committed to. If Trump himself is using the word 'treason', that tells me that he intends to do something against his attackers, and that his underlings need to follow his lead.
