A U.S. Military aircraft reportedly crashed in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Mexico</a> on Tuesday shortly after taking off on a flight to a Lockheed factory so it could be serviced.
A U.S. official told ABC News that the plane was an F-35, which belonged to the U.S. Marine Corps.
The plane &#8220;was being flown by a defense contract management agency pilot at the time of the crash,&#8221; KOAT <a href="https://www.koat.com/article/albuquerque-sunport-plane-crash-new-mexico/60928738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;Earlier today just before 2 p.m. we started getting reports of a possible aircraft down,&#8221; said Lt. Jason Fejer, the Public Information Officer for Albuquerque Fire Rescue. &#8220;Bernalillo County was the first on scene here, they did confirm downed aircraft and started making a search for the pilot and starting fire suppression efforts.&#8221;
Albuquerque Fire Rescue, Bernalillo County, and Kirtland Air Force Base quickly joined efforts to respond to the incident.
&#8220;The pilot was able to get out, that pilot was transported with serious injuries,&#8221; he said, adding that the pilot is now in the hospital and that two other civilians who were at the scene were also evaluated.
&#8220;The road is going to be shut down here for an extended time, Kirtland and the FAA will be taking over this investigation,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So we&#8217;re advising people to please avoid the area, let this investigation run its course, and they will get things back open up as soon as possible. So to recap, we did have an aircraft go down, pilot was able to escape and was transported to hospital, a fire has been extinguished. They&#8217;re in the process of cleaning up the scene and kind of mopping up any hotspots. And that&#8217;s where we&#8217;re at for now.&#8221;

A transgender author fell victim to the Cancel Culture mob after a Twitter user alleged that the activist works as a defense contractor for the U.S.-based global security and aerospace company Lockheed Martin. 
Ana Mardoll, a self-described writer, activist, and nonbinary transgender boy, was doxxed over social media on July 30, when users alleged that Mardoll worked at Lockheed Martin&#8217;s Fort Worth, Texas facility. 
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been aware that someone is trying to dox me and @ everyone I know in the process, so I might as well address some things here,&#8221; Mardoll said from a now deleted Twitter account. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry I have to do this,&#8221; the author said. &#8220;I work at a large corporation which I will not name. I work in software licensing, procuring text editors and code compliers for others.&#8217; 
&#8220;I do not procure code for anything,&#8221; Mardoll said. &#8220;I got this particular job because my family works for the same corporation.&#8221;
&#8220;I stay because I&#8217;m on an unusual part-time arrangement for medical reasons,&#8221; the activist said. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to find a remove [sic] WFH job that will give me medical insurance but let me work 10-20 hours a week.&#8221;
The Daily Mail <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11068111/Disabled-non-binary-transgender-social-justice-warrior-CANCELLED-super-woke-internet-mob.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> the person who originally posted Mardoll&#8217;s employment also created a Medium Blog page where it lists her address and personal social media accounts, which the site later removed because it violated its standards.
Freelance columnist for MSNBC Katelyn Burns came to Mardoll&#8217;s defense on Twitter.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re accusing my friend of war crimes, that is next level insane,&#8221; Burns <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/transscribe/status/1553961243123261441" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
&#8220;Looking forward to weirdo lefties doxing every Lockheed Martin employee with this much glee since I&#8217;ve been informed it&#8217;s not really about this one person that these weirdos have obsessed over for months,&#8221; she said in another <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/transscribe/status/1553892179654987776" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a>. 
Lockheed Martin, which predominantly works with the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies, has been accused of being &#8220;pro-war.&#8221; Mardoll reportedly worked for the company for 15 years, enraging the Internet, which blasted Mardoll for working for such a company. 
&#8220;Not going to weigh in on the Ana Mardoll/Lockheed Martin thing other than to say him having worked there 15 years is what&#8217;s really blowing my mind, because I assumed he was mid-20s because his bio describes himself as a trans boy,&#8221; a Twitter <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/emilynm41/status/1553884755929796613" target="_blank" rel="noopener">user</a> said.
&#8220;If you have the qualifications to get hired doing software development for Lockheed Martin, then you have the qualifications to find a job working for a significantly less evil corporation,&#8221; one Twitter <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/benedict_rs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account</a> said. 
&#8220;Ana Mardoll being a Lockheed Martin nepotism hire, who&#8217;s been there since the middle of the Bush administration, is making me lose it,&#8221; another <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/SusanJWilkes/status/1553851948243292160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account</a> said.
Mardoll has authored a series of books, including Cinder the Fireplace Boy and the Gayly Grimm Tales, Poison Kiss, and Survival Rout. The writer also has a YouTube account with over 4,000 subscribers. Mardoll last uploaded a video (&#8220;Let&#8217;s Play Honey, I Joined a Cult,&#8221;) eight months ago.

Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet warned during a Sunday interview that supply chain issues were hurting his company&#8217;s ability to ramp up production of a critical weapon that the U.S. has shipped to Ukraine in an effort to beat back Russia&#8217;s invasion into the country.
The comments about Javelins, which are portable, long-range guided anti-tank missiles that can be operated by a single soldier, come as the U.S. has <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/2992414/fact-sheet-us-security-assistance-to-ukraine/">reportedly</a> provided 7,000 Javelins to Ukraine&#8217;s military.
When asked during a CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan about what his company was doing to &#8220;scale up production to get more to [Ukraine] and to backfill what the U.S. has given up,&#8221; Taiclet said that efforts were underway to address the issue but that it could take years to complete due to supply chain issues.
&#8220;We are therefore on our side, accelerating our investment in that factory and in our workforce there,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So we&#8217;re already investing ahead of time to buy tooling, to expand the plant and also support our suppliers to get ready to ramp up production. So right now, our capacity is 2,100 Javelin missiles per year. We&#8217;re endeavoring to take that up to 4,000 per year, and that will take a number of months, maybe even a couple of years to get there because we have to get our supply chain to-to also crank up. As we do so, we think we can almost double the capacity in a reasonable amount of time.&#8221;
Taiclet urged lawmakers to take action to invest more in infrastructure needed to increase domestic supply of semiconductors, which are necessary to build any kind of advanced weaponry.
&#8220;Well, we&#8217;re planning for the long run and not just in the Javelin, because this situation, the Ukraine conflict, has highlighted a couple of really important things for us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;One is that we need to have superior systems in large enough numbers. So like Javelin, Stingers, advanced cruise missiles, equipment like that. So we know there&#8217;s going to be increased demand for those kinds of systems from the US and for our allies as well and beyond into Asia-Pacific, most likely too.&#8221;

Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton launched an inquiry into the nation’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin, for allegedly hosting race-based training programs for white men only. 
In a letter to the President and CEO of Lockheed Martin, James Taiclet, Cotton described the training program for “white male executives” and asked the company to explain how its practices are not considered discriminatory. 
“The training, if it occurred, appears to violate the principle of equal treatment that is the bedrock of American law, including civil-rights law,” Cotton said. “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act in particular forbids employers from discriminating on the basis of race and engaging in any activities that ‘limit, segregate, or classify [their] employees.’”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the letter, Cotton cited a Trump administration’s Department of Education decision that dubbed racial “affinity groups” and training discriminatory because they treated students and staff differently based on their race. The Biden Education Department has since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-education-department-decides-racially-segregated-groups-are-not-discriminatory">suspended</a> this decision. 
“The previous administration observed that the kind of stereotyping and scapegoating commonly found in these trainings ‘may contribute to a hostile work environment and give rise to potential liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” Cotton said.  
Cotton’s letter asked Taiclet to explain how employees were selected to undergo the training, how many employees were subjected to the training, and if the training was mandatory or voluntary. 
The inquiry came after a report from <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/lockheed-martins-woke-industrial-complex?wallit_nosession=1">City Journal</a> uncovered that Lockheed Martin had forced nearly 3,000 executives and employees to attend diversity training for white males. The program was led by the diversity, equity, and inclusion firm “White Men As Full Diversity Partners.” 
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-lockheed-martin-forced-thousands-of-employees-to-undergo-white-male-re-education-training">reported</a>: 
<blockquote>Lockheed Martin began hosting “Effective Leadership of Inclusive Teams” training or “ELOIT” training, in 2007. According to the company’s 2018 Global Diversity and Inclusion report, ELOIT training “empowers white men to be full partners in the creation of inclusive work climates by exploring the systemic advantages of white men have and shining a light on some of the barriers women, minorities, and LGBTs face when fitting into a predominantly white male society.” 
ELOIT training is broken into three parts. The first part takes place over a three-and-a-half-day period called the “White Men’s Caucus.” White men learn how to “be grounded in their culture and to begin to understand their experiences are not the same as others.” 
The second part takes place over three and a half days in a portion called “White Men &amp; Allies.” This section helps white men and their allies — including white women and people of color — to develop “partnerships across diversity boundaries.” Part three is a day and a half summit that helps white men “build awareness of U.S. white male cultures, its impact on Lockheed Martin and the role of white men in creating an inclusive organization; and help them take specific action.” </blockquote>
In response to the reports, Lockheed Martin claims that the company consistently evaluates the effectiveness of its training programs.

The nation’s largest defense contractor forced thousands of white employees to undergo a training program designed to make white males a more “important part of &#8230; inclusion efforts.” 
According to a report from <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/lockheed-martins-woke-industrial-complex?wallit_nosession=1">City Journal</a>, Lockheed Martin forced nearly 3,000 executives and employees to attend diversity training for white males. The program was led by the diversity, equity, and inclusion firm “White Men As Full Diversity Partners.” 
Lockheed Martin began hosting “Effective Leadership of Inclusive Teams” training, or “ELOIT” training, in <a href="https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1397702394671030272">2007</a>. According to the company’s 2018 Global Diversity and Inclusion report, ELOIT training “empowers white men to be full partners in the creation of inclusive work climates by exploring the systemic advantages of white men have and shining a light on some of the barriers women, minorities, and LGBTs face when fitting into a predominately white male society.” 
ELOIT training is broken into three parts. The first part takes place over a three-and-a-half-day period called the “White Men’s Caucus.” White men learn how to “be grounded in their culture and to begin to understand their experiences are not the same as others.” 
The second part takes place over three and half days in a portion called “White Men &amp; Allies.” This section helps white men and their allies — including white women and people of color — to develop “partnerships across diversity boundaries.” Part three is a day and a half summit that helps white men “build awareness of U.S. white male cultures, its impact on Lockheed Martin and the role of white men in creating an inclusive organization; and help them take specific action.” 

Diversity training begins with a “free association” exercise led by “White Men As Full Diversity Partners” trainers. Employees were asked to list words they associate with the term “white men.” Trainers wrote, “old, racist, privileged, anti-women, angry, Aryan Nation, KKK, Founding fathers, guns, and guilty,” among others. 
One part of the presentation asked, “What’s in it for white men?” Responses included, “I won’t get replaced by someone who is a better full diversity partner,” “[I will] improve the brand, image, and reputation of white men,” and “have [a] less nagging sense of guilt that I am the problem.” 
Consultants defined the problematic aspects of “white male culture” as “rugged individualism,” “a can-do attitude,” “hard work,” and “striving toward success.” 
Participants were also asked to repeat 50 “white privilege statements.” Examples included, “My culture teaches me to minimize the perspectives and powers of people of other races” and “I can commit acts of terrorism, violence or crime and not have it attributed to my race.” 
Employees were asked to recite an additional 59 “male privilege statements” and 59 “heterosexual privilege statements.” 
White males were also asked to read “I’m tired” statements that were allegedly written by racial minorities and women. Examples included “I’m tired of being Black,” “I’m tired of Black boys/girls being murdered,” and “I’m tired of … the concept that we should be ‘colorblind.’” 
City Journals’ Christopher Rufo insisted that the U.S. Senate launch an investigation into the “racist practices” at Lockheed Martin as the company receives billions in taxpayer dollars. 
“This is pure neo-racism from a company that receives billions of taxpayer dollars every year,” Rufo said. “I call on the United States Senate to launch an immediate inquiry into the racist practices at Lockheed Martin. We must shut this down before it endangers our national security.”
In response to Rufo’s report, a spokesman for Lockheed Martin said that the company consistently evaluates the effectiveness of its training programs.
“Lockheed Martin has robust employee training programs focused on our core values of doing what is right, respecting others, and performing with excellence,” spokesman Trent Perrotto said. “Like many corporations, we employ multiple vendors and continuously evaluate the effectiveness of training programs to ensure they are aligned with our values, applicable laws and regulations, and incorporate employee feedback and best practices.”

Report: Lockheed Martin Forced Thousands Of Employees To Undergo ‘White Male’ Re-education Training

With a simple tweet, President-elect Donald Trump caused Lockheed Martin&#8217;s to plummet &#8211; immensely.
Trump tweeted on Monday that the cost of the F-35 program &#8220;is out of control&#8221; and that he would save &#8220;billions of dollars&#8221; through some sort of change to the program.
The tweet was damaging to Lockheed Martin&#8217;s stock, as they are the main company that contracts out the F-35 program. Their stock fell by 2.5 percent, or <a href="http://arstechnica.com/business/2016/12/lockheed-martin-stock-trump-tweet-wipes-2-billion-dollars-2/">$2 billion</a>. The government has a $400 billion deal with Lockheed Martin for the F-35 program.
As the <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/11528/trump-wants-cut-f-35-program-good-idea-aaron-bandler">Daily Wire</a> reported on Monday, it is not plausible to scrap the F-35 program. It may be riddled with high costs and delays, but it&#8217;s politically unfeasible given that it provides 133,000 jobs in 45 states and it&#8217;s also necessary for the United States to maintain air superiority over Russia and China.
Lockheed Martin&#8217;s stock isn&#8217;t the only company that had damage done to its stock as a result of Trump, as Boeing&#8217;s stock also fell by almost two percent after the president-elect lashed out at Boeing with a tweet suggesting he would terminate their contract for Air Force One planes.
David Schulman, a senior economist, called Trump&#8217;s effect on business&#8217;s stocks &#8220;unprecedented.&#8221;
&#8220;If this becomes a weekly event, it&#8217;s going to have a negative impact on the business climate,&#8221; Schulman told the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-trump-tweets-stocks-lockheed-20161212-story.html">Los Angeles Times</a>.
It remains to be seen just how much Trump&#8217;s Twitter will affect the business climate as a whole, but if the Boeing and Lockheed Martin examples are a sampling of what&#8217;s to come, then businesses could find the Trump presidency to be a difficult one to deal with.
