Nothing They Can Do About the NJ Drone'

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 12/14/2024 2:51:20 PM

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insisted that there is nothing the federal government can do about the recent New Jersey drones because he has no “authority.” He told concerned Americans that the drones are not threatening to the United States, stating that they are most likely just “convenience store drones” or “planes.” “We can't just shoot a drone out of the sky,” Mayorkas told CNN. “They’re very, well, maybe drones in the sky, of course, but those are commercially available. One can go into a convenience store and buy a small drone.”

Comments:

As if we need more BS from Mayorkas and the Peanut Gallery in DC. Can you imaging him saying this on September 10th 2001?

Yes O.P listening to Alejandro "The "border is secure" Mayorkas was very reassuring. They will be saying that right up until the nuclear missile one of the drones launches hits something important. Then, like the Afghanistan Withdrawal, they will ignore that it ever happened. "We ever said... This whole not knowing who exactly is making vital decisions for the country is getting kind of scary.

They are selling 6 foot long drones now at the 7-11. This guy couldn't stop the border problem without a pork bill.

So basically Mayorkas is saying we've tried nothing and we're out of ideas?

Two thoughts: 1.) Can any of you L-Dotters remember Mayorkas ever telling the Truth.... about ANYTHING? 2.) The Feds could have some Air Force AWACS planes or other jets use their radars to track some of these 'drones' back to their base, and see where they are coming from. No need, no point in shooting them down. Just track 'em back to where they came from.

A newly minted and massive Iranian drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in the Persian Gulf this week — the ship’s first reported sighting since leaving its home port for the first time in mid-November. The satellite images taken Thursday by commercial operator Maxar Technologies shows three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the country’s coast as theories have swirled in the US that Iran could be behind the mysterious drone sightings across the tri-state area, according to Business Insider. Iran’s new carrier — the Shahid Bagheri — is a converted shipping container that was outfitted to support drone operations and was last seen on Nov. 12,

Given the state of affairs in Ukraine and the Middle East and the rise of China as a chief U.S. adversary, one would assume that the Department of Defense has its hands full combating real threats to U.S. national security. One would also assume that under the fraught geopolitics of the current world, the Department of Defense (DoD) would be harnessing its precious resources toward identifying future menaces that literally pose an existential threat to the security of the United States.

Texas heard that the Biden administration was auctioning off parts of the border wall, so they decided to grab their little paddle and a fist full of cash and get to bidding. Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick made the announcement during an appearance with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday night. "I don't know if you've heard the latest today, Laura, but Joe Biden is now hauling off the border wall that's been lying down for years, and he wants to auction it off starting at $5 apiece," Patrick revealed.

Climate doomsayers appear to understand their alarmist message did not resonate on the national level during the 2024 election. “Climate change” ranked dead last among the most important issues of the 2024 cycle, according to Pew Research. Climate doomers are searching for a new way to impress their anti-capitalistic ideas on the American economy, the New York Times reported Tuesday. Their newest strategy is to focus on pressuring local organizations, state agencies, and state commissions to change rules and laws, thereby effecting change on the local level where conservationists may be unsuspecting.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a one-time $300 payment to individuals earning $150,000 or less, and $500 to couples making $300,000 or less, her office announced Monday. In what would be the state’s first “Inflation Refund,” Hochul wants to send about 8.6 million New Yorkers a few hundred dollars starting in fall 2025 if approved by the legislature, an official press release stated. Around $3 billion in taxpayer funds would be allocated for the payments, which the governor called a “break” for her constituents. .“Because of inflation, New York has generated unprecedented revenues through the sales tax — now, we’re returning that cash back to middle class families,

Establishment Republican strategist Karl Rove attacked highly popular Vice President-elect JD Vance this week for his successful Senate bid in 2022, claiming he was a poor candidate. Rove’s odd and unprompted insult came in a comment to the New York Times in an article published Thursday about Steven Law stepping down as head of the Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)-aligned Senate Leadership Fund super PAC: “There was a candidate running in Ohio who was a terrible fund-raiser and was not a particularly effective candidate and the rest of the Republican ticket is winning by — from 18 to 24 points,” Mr. Rove said. “

Deflated by the resounding November defeat, the left now believes it can magically rebound by destroying President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominees. Many of Trump's picks are well outside the usual Washington, D.C./New York political, media, and corporate nexus. But that is precisely the point -- to insert reformers into a bloated, incompetent, and weaponized government who are not part of it. Trump's nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, is already drawing severe criticism. His furious enemies cannot go after his resume since he has spent a lifetime in private, congressional, and executive billets, both in investigations and intelligence.

A study conducted by parental rights organization Parents Defending Education (PDE) found that President Joe Biden’s Department of Education spent at least $1 billion on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives since 2021. Researchers found that $490 million was spent on DEI hiring efforts, $343 million on DEI programming and $170 million on DEI-related mental health resources. 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.”
