Trump Admin Axes ‘Quiet Skies’ Traveler Surveillance Program — which ‘failed to stop a single terrorist attack’
A counterterrorism program used to keep tabs on US citizens in airports and on planes around the world has been shut down by the Trump administration over concerns that it had become “weaponized” under the Biden administration.
The program, known as Quiet Skies, was run by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and allowed federal air marshals to follow American travelers on domestic and international flights, but it “failed to stop a SINGLE terrorist attack while costing US taxpayers roughly $200 million a year,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday as she announced its termination.

I just know I feel super safe every time I go to work watching TSA pat down and virtually strip search 80 year old grandmas and grandpas…after their monumental effort to just get up out of the wheel chair.So kinda like Real ID, right? Billions of dollars of lost economic output for something that wont stop sh*t....
It helped get us access to Indonesia's resources for example. A lot of SEA and the South Pacific would be much closer to China without it.is some of the good will we bought in the room with us now?
what nation was going to bat for us with the good will USAID bought us? the only "good will" it bought was via bribes, and that was only going to last as long as the bribes did.
It manages, or managed, both altruistic and selfish aid programs. USAID did a lot of essential disaster relief once upon a time.The Trump crowd? How many countries did Obama bomb in his 8yrs? How many were absolutely destroyed during his tenure?
Despite the clever acronym Usaid is not about aid it's a cia program used to influence foreign govt in ways our fed govt can't. It's a bypass/workaround to approved spending. Our enemies do the exact same thing by buying influence. You think the Chinese are installing network hardware so that everyone has unrestricted access to information?
Quit acting like this is some altruistic program being cut and realize it's simply expanding us govt influence into places that likely don't want it

Probably accurate. Oil/Energy companies benefit and Tesla getting cut out.![]()
Chip Roy reveals to Glenn Beck possible motive behind Elon Musk's scathing review of the 'big, beautiful bill' | Blaze Media
Elon Musk's disapproval of the bill may go beyond spending.www.theblaze.com
Before you pass the BBB give the American people a spreadsheet line by line what they are spending the money on.
Is Elon pissed about subsidies or is it just another abomination ?
Probably both.
All those years the left was in office and they chose to not capitalize on it. That should worry you more. I’m enjoying the lefts rekindled love for the one not elected “having access”.Musk says Trump is ‘in the Epstein files’ which is why they haven’t been made public...

Musk says Trump is ‘in the Epstein files’ in latest dig
Elon Musk said it was ‘time to drop the really big bomb’ as the feud between the billionaire and President Donald Trump reached new heightswww.independent.co.uk
I posted early on after the inauguration that I thought Elon would depart within the first year. Not enough room in the building for two egos that big.Gonna risk the discussion board faux pas and bump my own post.
Musk has reached his shelf life and is rapidly curdling. In just 5 months he has managed to alienate the left who buys his cars and the Trump administration who stands to be his primary space launch customer. He really needs to drop politics and focus on his businesses.
It’s like some people haven’t seen the Netflix and other documentaries on Epstein. Multiple young girls, some as young as 14, testified wrt how they were lured to his Palm Beach home by Ghilaine Maxwell to “give massages”. Not hard to figure out how that goes.Lol you’ve had to post that three times now. It’s almost like if they keep asking the link will cease to exist![]()
we were hearing about Trump 4 years into Biden's term. the problems from one presidency don't magically go away when the next guy takes over.So rich coming from the people who still can't STFU about Biden even after he's been gone 5 months and President Mashed Potatoes For Brains can't speak in complete sentences and has the attention span of a fruit fly.
sure it does. I don't play football, but I have plenty of opinions about it. I would bet 99% of this board is the same way.Your post makes zero sense when you begin with saying that you don’t vote. You have no standing to say the rest of it.
I’m quite pleased with my Trump vote. Doesn’t mean I’ll always agree with him but he was a far better choice than Kamala or Biden
because you keep voting for incompetence. you aren't magically going to get better results when you still vote for someone who you admit is incompetent.Agree 100%. The options suck. As a result our country's problems continue to grow as they are not addressed
