JARED ISAACMAN & TODD BLANCHE

Jared "Rook" Isaacman, NASA Administrator, thought it would be a helluva good time to join the airshow in Washington, DC on the 4th of July. So NASA asked the FAA, which regulates civilian air traffic, to allow Isaacman and NASA to pilot four vintage Northrop F-5 Tiger IIs (three owned by Isaacman's company) over the national mall. Wouldn't you know it, though, the killjoy FAA nixed Isaacman's joy ride as "very high-risk" to people and property. But billionaire Isaacman had another play; he promised Acting AG Todd Blanche could fly shotgun. The president's best boy for orchestrating the "deal" to permanently bar an IRS audit of the Trumps, Blanche appealed to his one and only client. Trump reportedly winked and nodded and, the FAA be damned, Isaacman and Blanche had a helluva good time. Happy birthday, America.
