THE FINAL FRONTIER. Get your Next Generation Leaders Involved from K12 to Higher Ed. Human History, We are a part of that. April 3, 2026.

 

If you’ve missed any part of the NASA and International Space Exploration Artemis II launch and background information here is just a snapshot.

Distractions with other current events, are just that distractions away from great achievements in human history.

The scientific methodology was learned early in the 7^th grade and has continued throughout my life.  Even though I was considered a ‘bad boy’ someone saw something in me and gave me an opportunity.  I worked at the National Science Foundation during the turbulent 1970’s while in high school surrounded by scientist, professionals, and educators with Masters, and PhD’s from George Washington University, and other major universities globally even with federal government SES professionals.  Pushing the envelope of scientific breakthroughs and knowledge.  Those innovations, THAT HOPE for human develop is still with us.

There is HOPE that can never be extinguished.

Governor can Activate State Guard for Airport Security, and Flow. Remember 911. Who Owns that Airport in your State. Does your State? Can State Controlled National Guard Circumvent DHS ICE in Airports within a State? March 2026

Who Owns that Airport in your State. 

• Does your State, local jurisdiction\airport authority?. 
• Can State Controlled National Guard Circumvent DHS ICE in Airports within a State?

Can DHS ICS be removed for services on State owned property NOT immigration related?

DHS ICE funds should be reallocated for salaries of TSA Agents that better serve the public and National Security interest

In the United States, almost all commercial airports are owned by state or local governments The "all but one" exception typically refers to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  While it remains government-owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, it is operated by a private consortium, Aerostar Airport Holdings, under a 40-year public-private partnership (P3) lease finalized in 2013. This makes it the only major commercial airport in the U.S. currently managed and operated by the private sector under the FAA's Airport Investment Partnership Program.  Key Facts About U.S. Airport Ownership Government Ownership: The vast majority of the approximately 19,000+ U.S. airports are publicly owned by municipalities, counties, or states. Private Operation vs. Ownership: Many airports use private contractors for specific services (like retail or parking), but full operational management by a private entity is rare. Failed or Proposed Leases: Other major airports, such as Chicago Midway  and   St. Louis Lambert have explored similar private lease agreements but ultimately did not finalize them. International Contrast: In contrast to the U.S. model, many major airports in Europe and Asia are either fully privatized or operated as for-profit companies with majority government stakes.

Following the events of September 11, 2001 the National Guard and ACTIVE military units were activated to assist the Dept of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Airports.     DHS ICE funds should be reallocated for salaries of TSA Agents that better serve the public and National Security interest National Security Interests Is the use of DHS ICE valid as a tool for U.S. Airports to assist TSA staff?   No Is the lack of TSA staff due to budget concerns justification for any thoughts of ‘privatization’?  No Any recommendations for National Security Council in the use of National Guard vs DHS ICE agents at U.S. Airports?  None so far.

 

The Dept of Homeland Security, TSA and FAA are the legal authority for all US Airports; Federal Jurisdiction; however, most airports are under local immediate management by state, county or city officials (local police, etc) who first enforce and apply Federal law, and subsequently, state and local laws specific to each airport locale.

Presidential Impeachment

In the United States, presidential impeachment is the constitutional process by which the House of Representatives brings formal charges against a sitting president for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". It is a two-step procedure: the House impeaches (charges), and the Senate tries the case.  The Impeachment Process The process typically follows these stages: Impeachment Inquiry: A House committee, usually the House Judiciary Committee, investigates potential misconduct. Articles of Impeachment: If evidence of wrongdoing is found, the committee drafts "Articles of Impeachment"—the specific charges against the president. House Vote: The full House of Representatives debates and votes on the articles. A simple majority is required for each article to pass, at which point the president is officially "impeached". Senate Trial: The U.S. Senate conducts a trial to determine guilt. In a presidential trial, the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court presides. Conviction and Removal: A two-thirds supermajority (67 out of 100 senators) is required to convict. If convicted, the president is immediately removed from office. The Senate may also hold a separate simple-majority vote to bar them from holding future office.  Presidents Impeached in U.S. History To date, no U.S. president has ever been convicted by the Senate and removed from office.  President  Year House Charges Senate Result Andrew Johnson 1868 Violating the Tenure of Office Act Acquitted (one vote short of conviction) Bill Clinton 1998 Perjury and obstruction of justice Acquitted Donald Trump (1st) 2019 Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress Acquitted Donald Trump (2nd) 2021 Incitement of insurrection Acquitted Note: Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 before the full House could vote on his impeachment, following the Judiciary Committee's recommendation of articles related to the Watergate scandal.  Recent Developments As of March 2026, the political landscape continues to see active discussions regarding impeachment: Donald Trump: Following his re-election, House Democratic leaders have suggested potential impeachment actions related to his recent military decisions and other conduct.

 

AI Current Justifications  (Pros and Cons)

As of March 21, 2026 is there justification for presidential impeachment? As of March 21, 2026, there is no official consensus or active legal determination that provides definitive "justification" for presidential impeachment, as impeachment is a political process rather than a purely judicial one. While several articles of impeachment have been introduced in the House of Representatives against President Donald Trump during his second term, none have successfully moved to a floor vote.  Current Status of Impeachment Efforts No Active Impeachment: President Trump is not currently being impeached as of March 2026. Introduced Resolutions: Multiple Democratic lawmakers have introduced impeachment resolutions (such as H.Res.353 and H.Res.939), citing various grounds. Political Barriers: Because Republicans currently control both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, these efforts face significant political obstacles and have largely been tabled or stalled in committee.   Arguments for Justification Proponents of impeachment have cited several primary reasons they believe justify the removal of the President:  Unconstitutional War: Critics and some lawmakers argue that the February 2026 military operations against Iran, conducted without prior congressional authorization, violate the War Powers Clause of the Constitution. Abuse of Power: Resolutions like H.Res.353 allege a "sweeping abuse of power," citing actions such as the usurpation of Congress’s appropriations power and international aggression. Domestic Conduct: Some lawmakers point to the use of federal agents in U.S. cities and alleged violations of the First Amendment as grounds for impeachment   Arguments Against Justification Executive Authority: The White House has maintained that the President’s actions, particularly regarding national security and Iran, are necessary "decisive action" to eliminate threats to the American people. Partisan Motivation: Republican leaders and supporters generally characterize the impeachment calls as "politically charged" or a "partisan witch hunt" aimed at hindering the President's second-term agenda. Lack of Evidence: Opponents of impeachment argue that the allegations have not been supported by sufficient or conclusive evidence of "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" as required by the Constitution   While calls for impeachment are rising among some candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the current congressional leadership has not advanced a formal inquiry.
