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….
Everything the government touches turns to, well, you know. Government couldn’t manage a 2-car funeral.
One person march! To the outhouse!
They can’t manage the bicycle Buttplug took out of the trunk!
What, me worry?

@SecretaryPete!
Secretary Vaycay!

NOTAM used to mean NOTICE TO AIRMEN.
PC changed AIRMEN to AIR MISSIONS. I’m sure MISSIONS will be changed to MOBILITY or MOVEMENTS at some point…
Pathetic.
Hey, what’s with the Miss of Missions? Sexual predation? Appropriation? Sexual racism? Or just simple sexism? If you have a Miss you must have a Mister. Let’s get some equity served over at table faa. Notice to Missmen would be equitable, but who would know what was being said?
It was just a miss stake
Talking about men got Buttwdge aroused.
😂 🤣
After Canada’s system also went down, I thought back to when that 2nd plane hit the tower.
Will we ever know who hacked us?
The Committee on the Weaponization of Government will get right on it
To think that Buttigieg couldn’t even do a better job than Mitch McConnel’s wife.
To quote the great Tom Lehrer: “Shall I? … I think not!”
In the right company, I would let it loose.
It’s HARD to do your job while grabbing your ankles!
Pothole Pete couldn’t provide a followup interview as his private jet was waiting for him to fly him back home to his partner so they could breastfeed their infant sons together.
Still loving his post partem hospital bed foto.
After adoption.
As a male. Albeit beta.
Love the visual of that nitwit fruitcake!!! You rock Sundance!
Doggie prayer. Love it!!!
Competence creates excellence, excellence generates prestige, prestige attracts the incompetent cunning, the incompetent cunning undermine efficiency, inefficiency creates incompetence, lack of competence leads to lack of excellence, then prestige erodes until total collapse.
Government is an attractive citadel to the incompetent cunning attracted by prosperity and prestige.
Enter Biden and Sec. Pete…
-The End-
Oh my God, you are hilarious, Sundance! Dog is killin’ me!
Restore the system quickly and safely? I would have preferred a glacial pace with reckless abandon.
Little Petey BootyCakes is on top of…..some dude.
That’s Secretary Bootyfudge! Get it right you phobes.
Maybe a dry run by Chyna to see how well the hack into our airline system works. If they go after our electrical grid we are really screwed. Our military has been severely compromised at the top and many seasoned veterans are also leaving. Chyna may not want to see what the next election brings and decide that a kinetic war would be in their favor.
IMHAO, given what’s going on on our southern border, being in a proxy war with Russia, our drain on military equipment & armaments & supplying same to Ukraine & Taiwan, our “woke” culture & the imbeciles in the WH, there’s no reason to invade. We are imploding daily.
Never has there been such an accumulation of incompetence at the “Top”. i.e. Cabinet level officials. This is what you get from choices based on diversity and inclusion.
Totally agree, Clyde. You nailed it. This is what happens when the president of the country, administration appointees, and the administrative bureaucracy are provided by mail order. Selection is by ideology, not merit. Their arrogance blinds them to their own incompetence.
RATS only destroy.
RINOS enable the destruction.
The operational incompetence is a perk. They have a playbook and are running it.
VERY early in the morning, while the fear furnaces were being stoked, there were lots of com’l aircraft in the air. Not everyone needs every NOTAM in real time to launch. Obviously some airlines work better than others. At any rate, the world did not explode.
I think it should’ve been a complete shutdown in rebellion against changing the name of the Notice to Airmen system. THAT would’ve been worthwhile.
It is no “glitch”, it is a hack.
Or a series of tests: Florida, US, Canada……Next?
What me worry?
Alfred E Neumann – “What, me worry?”
So simple, a cave man could do it!

One of the main blind spots of all liberals (and some putative conservatives) is the huge assumption that progress is just automatic. Change and progress are synonyms.
Liberals happily took the C0-Vid vaccine assuming that it was new, so it must be good.
On the other hand, many conservatives believe we have not returned to the moon because our culture is no longer capable of such an enormous feat. I pray, under current conditions, we don’t even try.
Hmmm….strange, but interesting. Has anyone else noticed all of the planes leaving (what I assume to be) chemtrails in the perfectly blue skies? Then, we have clouds….
Yesterday morning on our way to a larger city in my state, I saw scenes such as the one at this link. It was from about 8:15 until we reached our
destination 45 minutes later that this was happening.

Maybe they didn’t want competition in the skies from commercial traffic.
Also, here’s an article on how it might be affecting our health.

Must have been the massive CME from the “very active SUN”

That is a lie, Biden has no top men. No top women either.
Wouldn’t it be funny if the root cause was changing the name “Notice to Air Men” to “Notice to Air Missions” caused some kind of buffer overflow condition and crashed the system? Thanks D.I.E!
The FAA has gone full on “woke”. If you think yesterday was bad, wait til completely unqualified diversity hire air traffic controllers start running planes together.
Just happened to speak to an ATC who is retiring. One of his comments: “If you knew what I know you would never get on an airliner again.”
Already had crashes due to such incompetence. Of course it was blamed on something other than the diversity hire
This is all BS and smoke and mirrors from Pete and JB. The US military and the good guys are FN with Joe and his feckless gov’t telling him basically the end is near and who is in charge.
Methinks you are right goliad. A plane tracking site talked about there being 52 military refueling tankers being up at the same time that night. He has never seen that many at same time before. Something may be cooking.
Now I’m reassured…
And we want to put the government in charge of our healthcare?
Too late. The Fauci planned C-19 put that last nail in the coffin.
1 system, potentially a bug or catastrophic single point HW failure. 2 separate systems in 2 different countries? Deliberate.
Tin foil hat: Trial run in Florida (location chosen for some nefarious purpose)….Trial run successful, so entire system now goes offline.
Pencil packing Pete is going to take some heat.. His husband knows.
That is exactly my first thought WOW!
Pete now has two priorities. First and foremost, is for him to find out why he has some much trouble breast feeding and secondly, to figure out what happened to the ATC system. In a meeting with the administration, Pete promised, (pinky honor) that he would be on the FAA failure “like a bad rash” just as soon as he figures out his nipple problem. To America, Pete says, “stand by, I’m ON this!”
That’s actually more believable than any other explanation we’ve seen of late.
The USA is being run by a shadow government, consisting of various former Leftwing politicians, Deep State bureaucrats, globalist banks, globalist multinational corporate officials, Big Tech, big Pharma, big Agriculture and a cadre of their lackeys who work in the media.
What we see on the surface is largely scripted and staged for mostly viewing on TV and internet or reading in the controlled media.
When I heard Petey went to the White House, I screamed! They are not the ones to fix anything!!!
The system used by the FAA is from the 1960s and in serious need for updates or a totally new system for the already 23 year old century.
FWIW, Petey can’t even run a railroad that’s on the ground.
I was an airline pilot for 33 years and you’re correct about the technology of the FAA. A few years before I retired, I was talking to a FAA employee, a sector air traffic manager at Boston center, who was riding on my jumpseat and he told us that the FAA still used vacuum tubes and in fact, was the world’s largest user of vacuum tubes!
Radar uses tubes, they’re well suited for that purpose.
It’s not as bad as that any more, Dawg.
Not true. The system has been updated continuously for many years after falling way behind. We still do ATC better than anywhere in the world.
They are working to ruin that of course but for now…
Their aim is to further “reduce” the population of C-19 survivors. Simple declarative sentence.
Top men, LOL, that was funny.
All the top men (or whatever) in this administration are bottom of the barrel derelicts. I expect nothing but mumbo jumbo.
Preview when we have Electric Planes
The computer system named, Gender Neutral, needed a back up called Big Brother and another called Buttplug in case that one failed. How many billions did we give the FAA in the infrastructure bill?
Worm tounge Klain actually refers to Alfred E Buttcrack as Secretary Pete?
Isn’t Hunter Biden the “Smartest Guy” his flatulent fraudulency joe xiden knows? Isn’t Jon “Mumbles” Corzine his goto guy for all things financial?
Not a good track record.
I am not certain that it is accurate to call Butta-glug-glug a “man.” What are his/its preferred pronouns?
What, Secretary “Pete”? They won’t say his last name. Yeah just can’t make this up.
Just how serious are they taking this when @POTUS gets briefed by @SecretaryPete. Looks like they did it online. The pRESIDENT should have called him to the White House and then told Pete to get this crap fixed. So when are planes going to start falling from the skies.
Pete Booty-gag is not, what they might say in certain circles, “a top man.” They would say he was “a bottom man.”
I always hated flying now I absolutely WILL NOT get on a plane. I totally agree with you that there will be another 911 coming soon to skies near you!
Damn I miss Leslie Nielsen. He would have made an incredible Joe Biden.
Nice beaver…kid. Would you like to feel the hair on my legs? Corn Pop was a bad dude.
I dislike when the bosses bosses bosses boss says something like “Biden directed DOT/FAA to restore the system quickly and safely”. As if they weren’t already working their butts to to get things fixed and back on line.
“Top man”, eh? This evening that may be Pete. Tomorrow evening that may be Chasten.
Boy, Pete is like zero for 5: ships unable to load their cargo backed up in ports; was missing for two months or more for “Paternity leave”; named roads “Racist” (Hunh?); he claimed he”completely overhauled airlines with “equity”assuring us us holiday travel would be smooth right before the Xmas meltdown with SW airlines, and yesterday not a plane in the sky over the US- first time since 9/11. This is what you get when you think a small town mayor is ready for National poitics and you make a GRAVE error
