On January 2nd, the entire FAA system in Florida went offline after some kind of technical glitch that screwed up the works. All flights into and out of Florida were temporarily halted.
Interestingly enough, earlier today the entire FAA system had the same “glitch.”
As noted by Fox News: “The travel chaos was caused by the failure of the FAA’s Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which alerts pilots and other personnel about airborne issues and other delays at airports across the country. More than 1,000 flights were canceled in the U.S., and more than 6,700 more flights in the U.S. were delayed, as of 11:30 a.m. ET. FAA investigators are continuing to search for the cause of the outage.” (link)
According to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Joe Biden “was briefed by Secretary Pete Buttigieg early this morning. Biden directed DOT/FAA to restore the system quickly and safely, and to determine causes. Secretary Pete will provide Biden an update later this morning.”
Brilliant plan by the White House pointing the two top men to the problem, top men.
Because, well, without telling DOT/FAA to “restore the system quickly and safely” they may not have realized the need to restore the system, and secondarily could, according to the emphasis from the White House, have done a slow and unsafe restoration.
Yes comrades, fearless leader haz the smarts, see?
Secretary Pete then provided an update on the television.
.
Fear not comrades, the Biden administration has put their best men on the job.
You can be amazingly confident and assured.
U.S. air transportation has never been safer.
Swear.
Carry on….
My wife, the normie, comes home and says she think it was on purpose. I go back and look for that story from London Heathrow with the uranium found at the airport. Now the story is that it was trace amounts of uranium in kg bars of metal that are absolutely no threat to the public. Shipped from Pakistan, through Oman, to an Iranian business in England. One can only speculate what’s really going on.
A test?
Pretty sure “Shipped through Pakistan, Oman and Iranian Business” takes all the speculation out of it. At least for me it does.
They will NEVER connect the dots. Because they don’t want to.
It’s the silos don’t you know!
There was also recent chatter about Mossad tipping off the German government of a biological attack by two Iranian nationals.
I had written that off as the Western Bloc trying to stir up tensions with Iran, but the timing of these three stories suggests the possibility of something more.
Thanks keeler!
What kind of metal bars was the uranium encased in? Perhaps lead?
Joebama to Pete “Handle it, handle it!!” in the best Boss Hogg voice.
Pretty clear that nobody in this administration knows what the $#%@ they are doing.
Appreciate all your dumb ass policies, Joe. Now, run along and fix healthcare. Oh, wait… /sarc
You know the election was STOLEN. Nobody asks for this Schiff.
Give all that hardware to Ukraine to fight Russia… and you think Russia isn’t going to justifiably fight back? MORONS.
I think I’ll walk, thank you.
Last time I was on a plane, about two years ago, it was like flying on a prison plane. And I was flying “first class”! If I can’t take my dog and my truck, I ain’t going!
Woke and masked two years ago..now just mainly woke.
Dogs are G_ds gift to mankind!
Amen!
I walked over 1650 miles last year (down from the two prior years), it’s a great way to travel.
Wow…that’s impressive! I hiked about 15 miles a week, and that does not count the walking, where did you walk? I would do more, but I work and do not have the time….
Quit flying over 20 years ago. If I can’t drive there, I don’t need to be there.
I’m moving to an undisclosed south american country. F**k this shithole! It’s beyond repair except by bayonet!
“…………without telling DOT/FAA to “restore the system quickly and safely” they may not have realized the need to restore the system………’
Having had to go in and fix some issue that’s causing inconvenience to others before, I can attest to the frustration when some “higher up” comes in and starts screaming to “fix it NOW damn it!!” Screaming and yelling doesn’t make my job any easier, and it sure as shit aint gonna make the repair happen any faster. I’m put out by the problem just as much as everyone else, so just leave me alone and if I need any help I will be sure to ask for it.
The true frustration comes after the system is back up and running and the same higher ups that were all excited about the problem now refuse to authorize the minor expenses needed to help prevent a recurrence.
Upper management can be so fun, like the director at a co-worker’s former employer. They were explaining to him why they needed to make changes for Y2K. He was upset and frustrated about the cost and finally threw up his hands and asked what they did the last time this happened. I have no idea how they didn’t burst out laughing.
Those with no knowledge of how to fix things should never be in charge of those who do. Sadly, that’s not the case in a lot of venues.

And Mrs. Alan Greenspan just smiles and says, “Great work. Carry on, you marvelous hunk.”
Pete is the best Qualified FILTHY LIBERAL for the job. He was a mayor, and he and his Husband made a baby together. It’s science. I am waiting for the “Planes, or Skies are Racist” speech now.
They made two babies. Both men had babies.
They purchased those babies
The sad truth.
Like – like – from Af – ri – kan s l a v e – t r a d e r s like in the 1800s?
All I can say is: “Democrats at work. Still slave-trading.”
Best Wishes to Secretary Peter Puffer and his Husband Richard Smoker
They’ve gone cargo cult.
Biden ordering it to be done magically brings it into being.
Did Petey wave his magic wa…ah, nevermind.
It’s shoved up his Buttigieg.
In their tiny minds, they think they have actually done something.
Ordering the painfully obvious is NOT something!
If this failure is by accident, they should be out of office.
If it’s on purpose, they should be in jail!
Kinda brings to mind the lockdowns, actually!
When did it get resolved?
Anyone know?
Or is it still spotty, depending on area of country?
Anyway, thank goodness Biden’s in charge and directed them to get it going again. Who knows what may have happened otherwise?
And thank goodness for Mayor Pete, who informed the Boss about it so he could get the ball rolling!
We’ve got a Great Team in Charge, guys! Phew!
The mayor of South Bendover, IN has a grip on this. Firmly in hand.
Yeap and yes, please!
So, taking a binary system and making it non-binary doesn’t work out so well.
They think they are splitting the atom.
They think they are splitting the
atomAdam’s apple.Been a while since my private pilot flying days. I’m thinking back in my day a NOTAM was a Notice to Airmen. That right? And it now has migrated to Notice to Air Mission? If so that’s real progress!
Probably some code in there that can’t interpret or route to a sub-routine the change in pronouns…..er…….name.
Someone likely was never told it was Notice to Airmen and programmed the code for Notice to Air Mission and it choked.
After more than 30 years of working in an area where we had to file NOTAMs for certain issues, this is the first I have heard it as Mission rather than Airmen.
It changed to MISSION about a year ago or so.
Men pretending to be women were offended.
re: “That right?”
Ya – happened some time in the last year from what I’ve seen …
I keep going back to that SolarWinds hack in 2020. Code embedded in every govt system. Who knows if it was eradicated or still lies hidden in various govt systems.
Oh it’s there. And SolarWinds also has its hands in corporate control of their computer ecosystem. So most likely all corporate computers have the “kill switch” as well.
Our Secretary of Transportation’s only ability is to do nothing which is probably his best choice since anything he does is going to make the problem worse or last longer. I remember when the ships were stacked up with dozens awaiting unloading on the west coast, he was on maternity leave for several months to be with his adopted child.
He was “chest-feeding” child. Unbelievable stuff.
So let’s see, the system warns pilots of dangers they may face on their flight. I can see it now, the last messages are “Beware, we have an idiot in the White House and our Secretary of Transportation doesn’t have a clue about his job….You are on your own.”
You can only laugh at the absurdity-“POTUS was briefed by Secretary Pete” -could any phrase be less reassuring?
That really does sound so homey and folksy and reassuring, “Secretary Pete”
Solar flare. Bam.
Do you trust this Gov’t.
Hes always on vacation breast feeding his kid. Da, he don’t care.
Brandon hasn’t paid his debt to Communist China in a timely manner.
Butgag and Brandon are not competent ?
Buttigieg has been competent at nothing, accomplished nothing, and fixed nothing. He is a placeholder to parrot the deep state line and pour useless rhetoric on all occasions that the ignorant will never understand is meaningless.
( sarcasm)
The sec of transportation job title ‘looks good’
on a job resume as someone seek$ to climb the ladder… ?
And oh my,
the ( self imposed ) stress toll is quite something to smoothly overcome
( even though, it’s others doing the work )
uhhh…
is someone hiring ( a wooden nickel )…?
Sarcasm ended
“Prove all things,
hold fast to that which is good.”
2000 years ago as Paul wrote to the Thessalonians 5:21
i.e.
don’t take any wooden nickels.
( yet, some do…)
I’ve yelled at the appropriate people and have put them on double secret probation. Problem solved.
Isn’t Buttjudge usually the top man?
Top my a. . .hey, wait a minute . . .
Are those the same “Top Men” who were studying the Arc of the Covenant? How did that turn out?
I did Nazi this one coming!
Wasn’t all this supposed to be fixed in the build back better BS or was build back better really intended to streamline the Ukranian money laundering operation in order to rapidly process the recent ~$90 billion Congressional contribution to keep the Democrat/RINO feeding trough efficiently flowing?
My gas coupons are now on gumit assisted hackers, wonder if this was also part of the Southwest “glitch”.. our loving, all knowing, very important, extremely capable, integrity challenged 4th branch has done so much deviant snooping they may very well have opened us up to extreme terroristic activities..
It was a sting operation trying to catch brinton again and it went haywire.
This may have been a CCP test run. I guarantee you that this will be but one piece of a broader cyberattack prefacing the Taiwan invasion. Think of it as a digital version of Pearl Harbor.
Jeez, another well known example of total incompetency of biden cabinet officials. Question, are there any who are competent?
Just when you think it cannot get any dumber…
Catturd strikes again! LOL. I wish I were at home now so I could post a version of this photo with Bidumb attempting to sniff the hair of both Pete and Chasten. 😀
joe has NO “top men”…………he and all his ” corrupt, incompetent, occupants” have destroyed every area of this once great nation. Expect more “mysteries.”
The Real President Trump gave us a sample of what this nation can be, under God & real leadership.
joe has shown us what this unGodly nation deserves
A little humor about the word “TOP” in the military.
My 2 x Cavalry Troop First Sergeants ( I had 2 successful Troop Commands, best job in the Army as an officer) went bat crap ballistic if you called them “TOP” because in the Navy, in those days, the TOP was the lid on the toilet.
In this case, the military term TOP would be properly applied.
Yup. The former mayor of a crummy town in Indiana is on it.

It was either done by our own government or their CCP overlords hacked the computers like every computer in government.
I vote for the CCP test run.
Batch one of Biden include intel on Iran, Ukraine, and the UK.
Batch 2 in a different location is discovered.
FAA grounds all planes for the first time since September 11, 2001.
Ever heard of the Transportation Research Board ? (TRB) They are the academic arm of the National Academy of Science (NAS) which gets federal money to study transportation issues.
This ‘breakdown’ comes right in the middle of their annual meeting in DC. The theme this year ? Your won’t believe it:
elcome to the 2023 TRB Annual Meeting
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) 102nd Annual Meeting is being held in person, January 8–12, 2023 in Washington, D.C.
Housing is now closed, but Registration will remain open through the meeting.
Expected to attract thousands of transportation professionals from around the world, the meeting program covers all transportation modes, with sessions and workshops addressing topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. Workshops take place on the first and last day of the meeting.
A number of sessions and workshops focus on the spotlight theme for the 2023 meeting: Rejuvenation Out of Disruption: Envisioning a Transportation System for a Dynamic Future.
Irony or a sick sense of humor ?
Got to justify an increase in their budget, no?
The destruction will be exquisitely planned.
re: “Irony or a sick sense of humor ?”
I am convinced, that God has a sense of humor, and uses it to utterly confound the un-Godly …
What? Me, Worry? Klein, Biden, Butt-i-gig – a clown-fest. Clueless effers
MonkeyWerx weighs in on today’s FAA outage, previous outages. He thinks they were due to cyber attacks and he points out that there were more fighters up over the USA during the outage than he has ever seen.
Consider that a day or two ago there was a concern about Al Qaeda wanting to use planes again…was there a warning of an imminent threat incoming that they scrambled for? Could be…would explain the grounding of all new flights.
As were 52 refuelers for fighters
From the 52 air refuelers in the air during the outages, the largest number he has ever seen, which means a MASSIVE NUMBER of military fighters in the air, the Monkey concludes that the FAA computer was hacked. The idea is that the fighters went up as a result of a hack, not knowing what might be coming.
There is another possiblitiy: we got intel that something was coming and pulled the FAA plug ourselves in order to ground all domestic flights and completely clear our airspace for the massive number of military airtcraft we wanted to put up.
Follow the Monkey
That is a lot of tankers to be up simultaneously.
Pedo Peter II : Pulled teh ButtPlug, AGAIN
Can anyone tell me who is that picture of? Looks like one of my favorite guys Larry Hovis but doppelgangers abound in our world.
“Secretary Pete will provide Biden an update later this morning.””
An update on what? Proper male breast feeding techniques?
It’s not like he knows much else.
One of my former students is now in Air Force Intelligence.
Although this person is not on this particular case, “their” opinion is that yes, it was sabotage, probably a hack by China/Russia/Iran take your pick.
Rut Roh!
Secretary Buttedge gonna put that expert on everything, doctor Jill in charge?
Could hardly make her out in the image. That birds of paradise dress is great camo.
Does he oversee fashion disasters?
Which thrift store supplies Doctor Jill her duds? She makes Nina Petrovna Khrushcheva look like a fashion plate.
