Newark Liberty International Airport has become a nightmare for travelers. For two weeks, radar blackouts and radio failures have caused dangerous close calls in the sky. Air-traffic controllers are now taking trauma leave after nearly causing a midair collision, leaving terminals packed with angry passengers.
These brave controllers didn’t “walk off the job” like some elites claim. They’re patriots pushed to the brink by broken equipment and Washington’s neglect. Imagine guiding planes blind because your screens go dark – that’s the stress facing these heroes daily. The system failed them, not the other way around.
One controller described a heart-stopping moment when two jets came within seconds of crashing. His voice shook recounting how screens froze during the emergency. These aren’t quitters – they’re Americans risking mental health to keep skies safe while bureaucrats drag their feet.
The FAA’s response? Empty promises about “training more controllers.” Meanwhile, travelers sleep on terminal floors as flights cancel hourly. It’s classic big government – all talk, no action. They’ve had years to fix aging systems but wasted taxpayer dollars on green energy pet projects instead.
Union leaders slam corporations for blaming overworked controllers. “Trauma leave isn’t vacation – it’s survival,” said one rep. These workers sacrifice family time and sleep to prevent disasters, only to get mocked by coastal CEOs who’ve never worked a real day in their lives.
Passengers are paying the price. A single mom missed her sister’s wedding after United cancelled 17 flights. A veteran sat stranded for 28 hours without meal vouchers. This is Joe Biden’s America – where infrastructure crumbles while they push woke policies instead of fixing real problems.
The solution isn’t complicated. Fund new equipment, slash red tape delaying controller training, and fire incompetent FAA administrators. But that requires leaders who put Americans first, not globalist agendas. Until then, Newark’s chaos shows what happens when leftists prioritize everything except public safety.
Hardworking controllers deserve better than being scapegoats for DC’s failures. It’s time to ground the bureaucrats, not the patriots keeping our skies safe. The real trauma here isn’t in the control tower – it’s in the White House.
