Marco Rubio and Elon Musk should call a press conf
Feb 5^th, 2025 at 9:53pm

Marco Rubio and Elon Musk should call a press conference,
and there, identify to the American public,
what their TAX PAYERS dollars,
in recent years, have been spent on,
by the USAID bureaucracy.

IF IT HAPPENED.....
THAT WOULD BE A SCRUTINY 'SPLASH',
MADE IN THE INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. !!

HERE'S WHAT I HOPE RUBIO AND
MUSK DO.

I WOULD PUT TOGETHER ALL THIS
ABSURD SPENDING INTO A BOOKLET.

I'D CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE AND
IN FRONT OF GOD AND COUNTRY AND
THE MEDIA AND THE USAID FOLKS
AND MY DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES,
I'D GO OVER IT.

ITEM BY ITEM, EVERY BIT OF IT.

THE DEI COMIC BOOKS, THE
TRANSGENDER OPERAS.
THE FUNDING OF...

I'D GO OVER EVERY BIT OF IT AND
SAY DO YOU WANT TO DEFEND THIS?

AND THEY WON'T.
THEY CAN'T.

What a great idea.

Let the critics of DOGE >> publicly << justify how the USAID bureaucracy,
has, >> without any public oversight, << been spending U.S. TAX PAYER dollars,
on 'absurd' and unjustifiable WOKE and Marxist interest, 'AID' items.

FAA Provides Aviation Careers to People with Disabilities
Thursday, April 11, 2019
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced a pilot program to help prepare people with disabilities for careers in air traffic operations.

A key focus for the FAA’s Office of Civil Rights is to identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

The FAA will enroll up to 20 people in the Aviation Development Program. They will train for up to one year at 10 Air Route Traffic Control Centers throughout the U.S. The following facilities will participate in the pilot: Minneapolis, Minn., Cleveland, Ohio, Boston, Mass., Denver, Colo., Fort Worth, Texas, Jacksonville, Fla., Seattle, Wash., Memphis, Tenn., Kansas City, Kan., and Salt Lake City, Utah.

The candidates in this program will receive the same rigorous consideration in terms of aptitude, medical and security qualifications as those individuals considered for a standard public opening for air traffic controller jobs. Participants in the program will receive up to one year of experience in an Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) with the potential to be appointed to a temporary ATCS position at the FAA Academy.

Candidates for the Aviation Development Program must meet the following criteria:

United States citizenship
The qualification for Schedule A Direct Hiring Authority
Meet Office of Personnel Management ATC qualification standards
Pass Air Traffic Skills Assessment (AT-SA) Aptitude test
No more than 30 years of age
Pass a medical/security review
Be proficient in English
Education and/or work experience:
- three years of progressively responsible work experience or,
- a bachelor's degree or
- a combination of post-secondary education and work experience that totals three years.
People who are interested in applying for the pilot program should follow the instructions on the Aviation Development Program website. The website also has a schedule for in-person information sessions.
https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-provides-aviation-careers-people-disabilities

The link of 'targeted disabilities' is broken so we do not know who was targeted.

If it was, say, people in wheelchairs - ie a disability that does not impact air traffic control iing) then there is nuffin' to see here as long as "candidates in this program will receive the same rigorous consideration in terms of aptitude, medical and security qualifications as those individuals considered for a standard public opening for air traffic controller jobs."

Here you go frank, a snapshot of the page when trump was prez.

The link under “targeted disabilities” is now dead, but the Wayback Machine retains links from June 2017 and January 2021 that show the page was unchanged during Trump’s tenure. The list included:

Hearing (total deafness in both ears)
Vision (Blind)
Missing Extremities
Partial Paralysis
Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy
Severe intellectual disability
Psychiatric disability
Dwarfism
The June 2019 webpage for the Aviation Development Program (ADP) — also now removed but still visible on the Wayback Machine

Frank, its got nothing to do with what others think about the program, its about what trumps program was willing to do.
Stop trying to deflect away from trump keeping the same DEI policy that the Democrats used, and in one case adding another DEI program.
Which are actions you will not condemn trump for but want to vilify Democrats for.

Your inability to acknowledge trumps lies in this matter are all telling, yet you continue to be outraged because in your mind,only the dems did this foul deed.
