Pentagon: The UFOs are real and they're spectacular replies

Okay, I added in the “spectacular” part because I’m a sucker for a Seinfeld reference, but the “real” part is, well… real. After six months of anticipation, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its unclassified report on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force’s assessment of UFOs seen in and around restricted airspace and military facilities. (You can download and read the report here. It’s only nine pages, some of which is just boilerplate.) A second, classified report which is believed to be much longer and containing far “juicier” material was also delivered to Congress. The White House has also been briefed on the report.

The Democrat defense against Bernie Sanders is in pretty poor shape. He, AOC, and the Squad have mainstreamed socialism among Democrats. Democrats openly running as socialists keep winning races. Including a mayoral election. And, in this latest poll, 65% of Dems have a positive reaction to socialism. Only 29% have a negative reaction. Among self-described "liberals", 75% like socialism. Only 23% don't. But much of that is driven by a rise in support for socialism among younger people and minorities. When you break it down by race, only 33% of white people have a positive reaction to socialism, while 61% have a negative one.

During the last year and half it’s become obvious to anyone whose head is not in the sand that America has been under assault on multiple levels from within. (snip) Many of my acquaintances and friends -- from Eastern and Slavic Europe and Russia, Latin America, and Southeast Asia -- have commented that what they see going on in America is a fairly classic communist-type subversion. They believe that the takedown of America is well advanced and now poses a real threat to continuation of the United States as a free nation. My immigrant and refugee friends point out that the communist playbook is really quite easy to understand.

For decades, conservatives have sought to regain lost culture-war ground through judicial nominations, with GOP voters consistently rating the Supreme Court a higher priority than do Democrats.As the latest high-court term winds down — one featuring a putative 6-3 “conservative” majority — it’s worth taking stock of where that project stands. The answer: not in a great place. Consider two of this term’s highest-profile cases: California v. Texas (on ObamaCare) and the Fulton v. City of Philadelphia (on religious liberty).In California, a 7-2 majority of Supremes again left former President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy untouched. The court declined to reach the substantive issue — the constitutionality

There are times…at a concert, game, or other public event…when you want to leap to your feet, raise your cupped hands, fill your chest with air, and — with your most expressive voice — make no sound yet feel good inside. If that’s true for you, you’re gonna love the Olympics. You’ll relate to the audience, who’ll be doing that very thing. Japan’s released its COVID guidelines, and this year won’t be a particularly uproarious affair. As reported by Agence France-Presse, for one, alcohol is banned. So for attendees hoping to booze it up, sobering disappointment awaits. Another thing: Due to germs, no autographs will be allowed.

It looks like Hillary Clinton has been drinking a little too much Pinot Grigio. 73-year-old Hillary Clinton was spotted in New York Wednesday night…looking a little rough. Bill and Hillary met up with some friends at Fresco by Scotto in Midtown Manhattan Wednesday night. VIDEO: Last month Hillary was spotted using two hands to guzzle a giant glass of wine at a posh NYC restaurant as her hubby flirted with rocker Sting’s wife.(Photos) Trump’s greatest accomplishment was keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

Vice President Kamala Harris flew to her Los Angeles home following her much-anticipated brief touchdown at the U.S.-Mexico border- 93 days after President Biden tasked her with tackling the illegal immigration crisis. Harris' overnight stay at her LA home came a few hours after her quick trip to El Paso, Texas, amid intense criticism of the administration's handling of a spike in migration. Republicans have accused her of only visiting the border as a 'pit stop' en route to her California home. And that comes after waiting until 93 days after Her trip to Los Angeles is her fourth in the 94 days since taking office, compared to

Joseph Bolanos doesn’t wear horns, isn’t a crackpot, and isn’t a terrorist. He has been a neighborhood watch leader in New York City’s Upper West Side for 23 years. In 2012, as president of the West 76th Street Block Association, Bolanos put up signs reading “rat xing” to shame the city into cleaning up the garbage. The neighbors loved him. Now the 69 year old is a neighborhood pariah. One neighbor who brought him Thanksgiving dinner recently wrote him a nasty-gram wishing him death. “I hope Antifa gets you,” the note read. What changed? Bolanos attended the Trump speech on January 6. He did nothing wrong.

Vice President Kamala Harris claimed Friday that she and President Joe Biden had achieved “extreme progress” on the border, despite the growing number of illegal crossings into the United States. “I call it progress. We’re not exactly where we want to be yet, but we have seen extreme progress over the last few months,” Harris said during a press conference after visiting a border facility in El Paso, Texas on Friday. When Harris first assumed leadership on the border crisis, the number of migrants detained there had reached a 15-year high, with over 173,000 migrants apprehended. The problem only got worse.

For two hundred forty years, American generals have not exactly been defined by adamant public advocacy for left-wing cultural dogma. Yet there appeared to be a great awakening at the Pentagon on Wednesday when Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified at a House hearing. The Chairman vehemently defended the teaching of critical race theory at West Point and, referencing the January 6 Capitol riot, said, “it is important that we train and we understand ... and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white." In response to conservative criticisms

WELLINGTON — With windows and bumpers proclaiming "Trump won" and "Biden sucks," vehicles from all over the United States were parked Friday afternoon at the Lorain County Fairgrounds. They came from near and far--from New York to California, Michigan to Tennessee, Pennsylvania to Indiana--for the chance to see former President Donald Trump. (Snip) The forecast calls for possible thunderstorms to sweep through Wellington early in the day, probably giving way to cloudy skies before the rally gates open at 2 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
Kamala's 'Border Visit' Was Smoke and Mirrors,
as Protesters Greet Her With Fitting Nickname

Kamala Harris seems to be met with protesters wherever she goes. As we reported, she was met by protesters, when she went to Guatemala, telling her to “Go Home.” Now, as she visits El Paso, Texas, protesters are out there for her photo op in the area. But I’m thinking that wasn’t the photo op that she wanted. The Hispanic, Trump-supporting group of protesters also gifted her with a new nickname, “Que mala,” which would translate to “how mean,” or “how bad.” A great, short expression of “how bad” she and Joe Biden have been for the border — and for the country in general.

Antifa militants attacked police in Portland, Oregon, after news broke of a deadly police shooting—forcing the department to quickly announce that it was a “white male” to prevent riots, according to police and reports. At least 50 protesters, most dressed all in black and carrying anti-fascist signs, gathered at a Motel 6 late Thursday where police shot a suicidal man who charged at them with a screwdriver, The Oregonian said. The mob “began yelling, throwing items at officers, and attempting to interfere with the investigation,” Portland Police Bureau said in a release, with videos showing many chanting the anti-police phrase
