Air Traffic Fail Exposes Biden Chaos

In a revelation that has stirred alarm among national security circles and outrage among millions of Americans, it has been confirmed that the direct hotline between the Pentagon and the control tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) has been out of service since March 2022 — for more than three consecutive years. The confirmation came from Franklin McIntosh, a senior official at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), during an oversight hearing led by Senator Ted Cruz, current chairman of the Senate committee on aviation and transportation.
The exchange was brief but damning. When Cruz asked:
“Is it true that the direct line between the Pentagon, air traffic control, and the DCA tower has been inoperative since March 2022?”
McIntosh’s response was clear:
“Yes, sir, that is correct.”
This revelation — hidden from public knowledge throughout the entire Biden administration — is not just a technical glitch. It is a systemic failure and a gross act of negligence in the chain of command and national airspace security management. The direct line between the Pentagon and DCA is a critical part of the defense communication protocol in Washington, D.C., one of the most restricted and strategically sensitive airspaces in the world.
A Critical Lifeline Cut Off
This hotline is not an optional feature — it exists to coordinate rapid responses to aerial threats, unauthorized airspace breaches, or potential hijackings near the nation’s capital. In a city where the executive, legislative, and judicial leaders of the free world reside, every second matters.
A three-year outage of this direct communication with the Pentagon is not merely a technical failure — it is a strategic disaster willfully ignored.
Biden and Buttigieg to Blame
FAA official Franklin McIntosh also confirmed that this issue was never properly addressed by the Biden administration, including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Both Biden and Buttigieg — whose lack of experience in matters of national security has long been questioned — completely neglected a critical defense tool.
For over three years, neither the Biden White House nor Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation notified Congress or the American public of the outage. No press conference, no Pentagon alert, no serious repair efforts. Total silence.
This raises a chilling question: What other security breakdowns were hidden during those years? And worse: were there threats that went unaddressed due to this severed link?
A Stark Contrast with Trump’s Administration
Since President Donald J. Trump returned to office in 2025, he has repeatedly declared that “America’s security is non-negotiable.” This incident confirms what many Americans already suspected: The Biden administration prioritized political ideology over the safety of the American people.
During his first term, Trump emphasized border control, military modernization, and investing in cyber and air defense infrastructure. None of that momentum was maintained under Biden. Instead, Biden left behind a trail of bureaucratic decay, neglect, and reckless indifference.
Trump’s leadership ensured that defense communications were strengthened and protocols were followed. The contrast could not be clearer.
Political Fallout and Demand for Accountability
Senator Ted Cruz has announced a formal investigation into who allowed this critical hotline to remain offline without correction or disclosure. “It’s unthinkable that in the heart of our nation’s capital, a key line of defense communication with the Pentagon was left broken. This is administrative treason by omission,” Cruz said.
He also called for public hearings involving McIntosh, senior FAA officials, and former Secretary Buttigieg to explain why nothing was done.
“This isn’t just technical failure — it’s a national betrayal,” added Senator Josh Hawley, who supports the investigation.
What If There Had Been an Emergency?
Military analysts are already warning that if an event similar to 9/11 had occurred during those years, the consequences could have been catastrophic. “This line exists precisely to prevent disaster. Without it, we’re flying blind,” said former Air Force intelligence officer Michael DeWitt.
In a country that has spent billions on counterterrorism and defense systems, allowing such a basic communication channel to go dark for years is, at best, a national disgrace.
The American People Demand Answers
The news has ignited social media. Hundreds of thousands are expressing their outrage with the hashtag #PentagonHotlineFail, demanding that those responsible be held accountable. Many are calling for a full audit of all defense communications systems inherited from the Biden administration to ensure there are no more hidden failures.
President Trump has already ordered a nationwide audit of critical inter-agency communications, reaffirming his promise to “make EE.UU. truly safe again.”

Per USDA:
Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.
“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.
“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”
“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”
On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.
During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
WATCH:
Ben Carson reads John 12:24 at the Charlie Kirk’s funeral. Charlie was shot at 12:24.
It reads: “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.
As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.
Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.
Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.
President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.
On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.
Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.
Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:
Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.
Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.
According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.
“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.
Quinnipiac reports:
Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.
This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.
Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.
Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.
A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”
Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.
“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.
The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.
“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.
The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
