Fighter jets roared into action over President Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course this weekend, intercepting rogue aircraft that dared to breach restricted airspace, as the Daily Mail reports. The audacity of these pilots, ignoring clear FAA protocols, underscores a reckless disregard for national security. It’s a stark reminder that rules exist for a reason, not for woke posturing.
On Saturday and Sunday, seven unauthorized aircraft invaded the temporary flight restriction zone above Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, with the most notable incident occurring Sunday at 2:50 p.m. These incursions disrupted the president’s weekend retreat, forcing NORAD to scramble jets to escort the wayward pilots out. The skies aren’t a free-for-all, despite what some might think.
Saturday saw three rogue flights, each met with a swift military response. By Sunday, the tally rose to seven, with two more incidents, including the high-profile 2:50 p.m. breach. Clearly, some pilots believe they’re above the law, a mindset that deserves no sympathy.
NORAD jets didn’t just politely wave at the intruders; they deployed flares to grab the pilots’ attention. These flares, burning out quickly and safely, posed no threat to those on the ground. Still, the need for such measures highlights the seriousness of these violations.
“General aviation pilots are reminded to verify all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice to Airmen and fly informed before every flight,” NORAD stated. Sounds like common sense, but apparently, some pilots missed the memo. Perhaps they were too busy chasing clout to check tfr.faa.gov.
“All pilots must familiarize themselves with updates to restricted airspace,” NORAD added. This isn’t a suggestion -- it’s a mandate. Ignoring it risks not just a scolding but a fighter jet escort, which should wake up even the most oblivious aviator.
Trump, spending the weekend at his Bedminster golf club, faced constant interruptions from these aerial trespassers. He returned to the White House late Sunday night, likely frustrated by the chaos. It’s no surprise the left’s obsession with undermining him extends even to the skies.
NORAD clarified that the pilots didn’t seem to have nefarious intent, but ignorance is no excuse. The temporary flight restrictions, easily accessible at tfr.faa.gov, exist to protect high-profile figures like Trump. Disregarding them isn’t just careless -- it’s a slap in the face to national security.
“Adhering to FAA-restricted airspace protocols is mandatory,” NORAD emphasized. Mandatory, not optional, yet seven pilots thought they could skirt the rules. This kind of entitlement is what fuels the progressive agenda -- rules for thee, but not for me.
In a bizarre twist, actress Sydney Sweeney’s name surfaced amid the weekend’s chaos. Public records show she registered as a Republican in Florida’s Monroe County last June. Good for her, choosing principles over Hollywood’s woke echo chamber.
Sweeney’s American Eagle ad campaign, which played on “great genes/jeans” to promote denim, sparked predictable outrage from the left. They cried “white supremacy” and “eugenics,” proving once again their knack for seeing offense where none exists. It’s exhausting, but not surprising.
“Oh, now I love her ad,” Trump quipped about Sweeney’s campaign. The left’s meltdown over a clever wordplay only proves their hypersensitivity. Trump’s support for Sweeney is a refreshing jab at the outrage culture.
“If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic,” Trump said. He’s right -- her ad is clever, and the backlash is just another tantrum from the perpetually offended. The left’s obsession with labeling everything problematic is a distraction from real issues, like airspace security.
“You’d be surprised at how many people are Republican,” Trump added. His comment highlights a quiet truth: plenty of Americans reject the progressive dogma, even in unexpected places like Hollywood. Sweeney’s choice to stand with the GOP is a bold move in a sea of conformity.
The weekend’s events, from rogue aircraft to Sweeney’s political stance, underscore a broader point: the rules matter, whether in the air or public discourse. Trump’s golf course shouldn’t be a free-for-all, just as free speech shouldn’t bow to woke hysterics. Maybe it’s time for everyone to check the NOTAMs -- and their priorities.
