The mystery of the swarm of drones seen in New Jersey and other northeastern states for at least the last month still hasn't been solved and is at the top of the news cycle as we head into the weekend (as expertly covered by our own Ward Clark), and finally, President-Elect Donald Trump has weighed in on the topic. Trump made a simple statement on Truth Social: (Truth) He wrote: Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT Musk's first statement was a tongue-in-cheek response

And now there are drones over Ramstein military base in Germany. I don't care what the government says, if a drone is flying low over my property, I will shoot it down.

So far the drones only appear at night. Just like vampires. Maybe you can't shoot them down. But the lights used during WWII for anti aircraft fire can be used to throw some light on the situation. It can't be aliens from outer space. Who or what would journey light years to visit Jersey? Iran, Russia, China? Why waste their resources to get a better look at Jersey? At lease when President Trump is in charge we will get answers.

OK, L-Dotters. Think about this for just a piece of a minute. Drone sightings, as the article says ..."is at the top of the news cycle " Exactly! What OTHER story are they deliberately decoying the whole Media away from, as the HairSniffer packs his bags and prepares to depart? The HairSniffer's pardon of 1500 thugs, thieves, Chinese spies, child pornographers, and other nefarious types? The HairSniffer's work to plant as many 'land mines' for Trump as he can? The HairSniffer's giving away of the last Billion$ to Zelinski? What OTHER unsavory things are going on while the Media is captivated by the 'Drones' (in earlier days, it would be 'flying saucers')? By the way, people see these drones at night because they have lights on them. If whoever is flying them did not want people to know, all they have to do is turn off the lights, and no-one will see them in the dark. No, this is blatantly deliberate. I wonder what they are distracting us from. Any ideas? Chip in!

These drones were allowed by Joey. Didn't he allow China to float a balloon over the US? I bet they're Chinese which Joey is allowing to survey the country.

Drones fly around everywhere. It's completely legal. Realtors use them to get pictures of properties. Power companies use them to survey lines. Cowboys use them to track herds. They can be used to map WiFi IDs, follow cars, track cell phones, locate tracking tags on wildlife (used on pumas around here), sample air for trace elements (uranium isotopes, for instance), and thousands of other things. A lot of it could be nefarious but we can't go shooting at every drone. Soon, maybe already, larger drones could be carrying people around.

In a bold and unprecedented move, President-elect Donald Trump has extended invitations to a range of global leaders, including China's President Xi Jinping, to attend his upcoming inauguration. This decision, especially considering an expected trade war, reflects Trump's longstanding commitment to fostering international relationships and highlights his belief in the importance of diplomacy and open dialogue with key figures on the world stage. The invitations, especially to rival leaders, show that Trump is signaling his intent to maintain a firm foreign policy and prioritize American interests while engaging with international counterparts.

Last month, in November 2024, Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) narrowly approved an optional curriculum that would allow stories from the Bible to be taught to K-5 elementary school children. Even though three Republicans joined the board’s four Democratic members to reject the course of study, the SBOE accepted the Bluebonnet reading curriculum in an 8-7 vote. According to a May 2024 Texas Education Agency (TEA) press release, the reading lessons use a classical education model and include not only Bible-infused courses, but also teach students about art, history, culture, science, and technology. School districts who decide to use the material will receive up to $60 per student

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.

Key takeaways from the study include the fact that multiple Education Department grants “feature programming that advances race-based teacher recruiting, hiring, and training, including the use of race-based affinity groups.”
