A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The air-traffic control tower in the nation’s capital is authorized to have 28 controllers, the agency said.

This is supposed to be spelled C-A-P-I-T-O-L.

The spelling with A-L refers to money involved in starting a business endeavor.

Capital is a city. Capitol is a building.

Feels like the hiring freeze might have been a poor idea in general, but particularly in a chronically understaffed field like air traffic controller. Blaming DEI, when the cause of the crash was grave human error on the part of the whitest heli pilot in existence, was another unforced error. Scapegoating rather than reforming and strategizing is portentous
