Germany: Drones spotted over US air base
in Ramstein
Posted By: Moritz55, 12/13/2024 6:58:36 PM
German authorities said on Friday that unidentified drones had been spotted flying over sensitive military and industrial sites. Among the sites was the US air base at Ramstein in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The sightings were first reported by Germany's Der Spiegel magazine. It cited a report from German security authorities saying that several drone sightings were registered over the Ramstein base late on December 3 and 4. Der Spiegel said that unidentified drones were also sighted over facilities belonging to German arms maker Rheinmetall. Unidentified drones were also seen over the Brunsbüttel area of northern Schleswig-Holstein state in August.

Are the Years of Madness Ending?
11 replies
Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration. And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world. One reason so many are welcoming Trump’s return is the universally desperate hope that his election spelled an end to a collective madness at home and its ripples abroad during the last four years. And why not?
“This is the way the world ends,” T.S. Eliot famously wrote.
“Not with a bang but a whimper.”
He might have been talking about Joe Biden’s presidency. As he prepares to slink out the door, Biden’s final days in the Oval Office offer a perfect metaphor for everything that was wrong with his tenure.
He pardoned his convicted-criminal son after vowing not to and his mass commutations included one for a judge convicted of taking kickbacks to send juveniles to for-profit detention facilities.
The judge was in Scranton, Pa., meaning Biden even betrayed distraught parents in his hometown.
Joe Biden and the Dem apparat around him have made it plain: They are going to do as much damage to America as they can on the way out the door.
Last week brought a record number of presidential pardons, including 1,500 commutations of the sentences of “nonviolent” felons, most of whom were already serving their sentences at home after being sprung from prison during COVID.
Except the White House upped the count by overlooking some truly heinous offenses: a Pennsylvania judge who took bribes to send kids to a for-profit “detention” center; an Illinois clerk who embezzled over $53 million from a town of just 15,000 people

The joke floating around X since Trump started announcing nominations was that our excitement for each appointee should be directly inverse to how much the main stream media freaks out. The more negative the coverage, the more “unqualified” the pick-of-the-day deemed, the more hopeful we should be of an America-First future.
My current favorite? Politico's recent article titled “Pete Hegseth’s Crusade to Turn the Military into a Christian Weapon.”
Because, in case you forgot, being a white, straight, Christian male - your average American man - is now a “threat"
The US-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) appears to have wiped out the alleged BM-21 Grad launcher in Zaporizhzhia, although the video has not been verified. If true, this wouldn't be the first time Ukraine has successfully used the HIMARS against Russia, having destroyed an S-300/S-400 missile system last June. Just last month, President Joe Biden agreed that Ukraine could use long-range US missiles on Russia, and it seems President Zelensky is taking him up on the offer.
How thin is the line between hero and vigilante? It is razor thin, as the trial of Daniel Penny has shown.
Penny is a white, former Marine who put Jordan Neely, a Black man, in a six-minute choke hold in the New York subway in May 2023. Neely died after the incident, and prosecutors charged Penny with killing him. On Monday, a jury acquitted Penny of criminally negligent homicide. A second-degree manslaughter charge against Penny was tossed out Friday after the jury couldn't reach a verdict.
Reports on the deadly incident seemed to divide Americans over racial issues: privileged white man versus homeless Black man.
New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew said Wednesday that "very qualified" and "reliable" sources believe the mystery drones populating the Garden State's skies are originating from an Iranian "mothership" parked off the U.S. East Coast. "Here is the real deal," the GOP lawmaker told Fox News' Harris Faulkner.
"I'm on the Transportation Committee, on the Aviation Subcommittee, and I've gotten to know people. And from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources. I'm going to tell you… Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off the east coast of the United States of America."

The reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris also marked the de facto coming out of Donald Trump as leader of the free world.
His overbearing handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron sent a powerful message to the rest of the world. America is back, whether they like it or not.
As Trump is feted by world leaders and royalty in Paris, holds preliminary peace talks with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and sends his envoy to the Middle East, the inauguration next month seems like a mere formality. Joe Biden is a pitiful afterthought in history.
Daniel Penny has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car in 2023.
Penny, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
The judge dismissed the second-degree manslaughter charge against Penny on Friday after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision. The jury could only consider the negligent homicide charge if Penny was cleared of manslaughter, which is what the dismissal did.
Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown, fleeing Damascus after a rapid rebel advance. But the Syrian dictator is far from the only president likely to be despairing today, for Vladimir Putin is another big loser here.
For Putin, the collapse of the Syrian regime and removal of Assad from power poses two critical problems. Firstly, it represents a critical strategic loss. Secondly, it represents a stark decline in Russia’s global prestige.
Russia now seems almost certain to permanently lose both its naval base at Tartus and its air base at Latakia, its only such bases in the Middle East. The loss of Tartus is particularly painful, as the base allowed Russia to
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is trying to "strong-arm" the jury in the Daniel Penny case into deciding on a verdict by dismissing manslaughter charges when they appeared deadlocked, former U.S. assistant attorney Andy McCarthy says. "Bragg added a baseless recklessness charge to the indictment so the jury would have two counts, increasing the odds of conviction by giving the jury something to compromise on," McCarthy wrote in National Review. The manslaughter charge required prosecutors to prove that Penny acted with recklessness when he put mentally ill homeless man Jordan Neely in a chokehold on May 1, 2023. Neely had barged onto a subway car while high on drugs, threatening

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby stated that Iran will not be allowed to get a nuclear weapons capability, and “We had tried to do this through diplomacy. Obviously, that didn’t work, because the Iranians were not willing to negotiate in good faith.”
A close advisor to Donald Trump has issued a grave warning to the American public as he claims the nationwide drone sightings - that are feeding a growing sense of hysteria across the US - are linked to a chilling government plot.
Charlie Kirk, 31, a conservative political activist and close confidant of president-elect Trump, took to X on Friday to claim America is 'f****d' as he suggested the recent mass drone sightings are part of Project Blue Beam.
'WE ARE F****D. THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM,' Kirk posted on X.'LOOK FOR VIDS OF THEM TRANSFORMING FROM BALLS OF LIGHT TO PLANES WHEN FILMED TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.
As such, he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.
Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.
Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal

Perhaps most incredibly, the "Cash for Kids" judge in Pennsylvania who wrongly sent dozens of minors to a for-profit prison and got kickbacks for it, was released without any examination of the facts of his case.
President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering privatizing the United States Postal Service (USPS), according to a report from the Washington Post.
Three people with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that Trump had been talking with Howard Lutnick, who Trump picked to serve as the Commerce Secretary, about carrying out an “overhaul” of the U.S. Postal Service.
While Trump’s plans regarding how he plans to overhaul the Postal Service were not “immediately clear,” one of the sources told the outlet that Trump had met with “a group of transition officials” and had requested their input on “privatizing the agency.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that his agency was “limited” in its authority to shoot down drones.
Mayorkas said, “There are thousands of drones flown every day in the United States, recreational drones, commercial drones. That is the reality, and in September of 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA, changed the rules so that drones could fly at night, and that may be one of the reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they did before, especially from dawn to dusk. So that is the reality, but I want to assure the American public that we are on it.
The White House ordered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal regulatory agency, to expand its use of "Indigenous Knowledge" on Monday, as part of a last-minute push in the federal government to embrace what scientists call pseudoscience. (snip) "Indigenous Knowledge" is a discredited belief system positing that native-born peoples possess an innate understanding of how the universe works. While scientists have referred to its ideas as "dangerous" and a rejection of the scientific method, those criticisms have not stopped the Biden administration from ordering the federal government to consider "Indigenous Knowledge" when implementing rules and regulations.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said President Joe Biden should “very seriously” consider preemptive pardons for members of the House January 6 select committee after president-elect Donald Trump said last week they should be jailed.
Sanders twice called Trump’s recent statement “outrageous.”
“This is what authoritarianism is all about. It’s what dictatorship is all about,” the former Democrat said on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday morning. “You do not arrest elected officials who disagree with you, who undertake an investigation.”

The Garden State has been at the epicenter of the recent flurry of flying objects which have baffled experts and concerned local lawmakers - as the central government flounders to provide concrete answers about what's going on.
A whopping 964 incidents have been logged in New Jersey since the first sighting on November 19 up until December 13, according to statistics collected by the state's Office of Emergency Management and shared with the New York Post.

Liberals are calling on their peers to “cancel” TIME Magazine after the publication named President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 “Person of the Year” — a title that has been given to well-known figures regardless of political views or controversy.
“Cancel TIME Magazine,” popular leftist Facebook page “The Other 98%” posted on Saturday, along with the publication’s customer service number: “Also BLOCK them on ALL social platforms,” a commenter wrote on the post, which garnered nearly 30,000 “likes.” “I did that yesterday after a 20 year subscription. Felt so good,” another person replied.
It has been reported that Nancy Pelosi was refused Holy Communion at the U.S. Capitol yesterday. Archbishop Timothy Broglio reportedly refused Pelosi, a self-described Catholic who advocates for abortion, the Sacrament after a Mass he celebrated in the Capitol on December 12 in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of the Americas. [Snip] However, as CNA reported, “Broglio agreed to meet with Pelosi but did not give her Communion.” [Snip] “Michelle Gress, executive director at the office of government relations at the USCCB, told CNA that Broglio declined Pelosi’s request as the Mass had already ended and they ‘didn’t consecrate extra Hosts,” the outlet reported.
President-elect Donald Trump fought the establishment media and won during his 2024 campaign. Now his return to the White House draws closer and already legacy journalists are fearful given his combative nature and refusal to be intimidated, a report Monday details.
In a closely-watched case settled over the weekend, ABC settled a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump over a false statement made by George Stephanopoulos by agreeing to pay $15 million toward Trump’s presidential library, as Breitbart News reported. Trump claimed his “reputation was besmirched” by Stephanopoulos claiming during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) that two juries had found Trump
