Where are the these drone UFO’s coming from? After nearly a month of constant sightings from New York to California the Pentagon and Biden administration still aren’t providing any answers.
Now members of Congress and governors are fuming that they can’t get answers either. Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to deploy technology that can track the drones back to their origination spot. Former NJ Governor Chris Christie said Sunday that if the government refuses to take down these drones,, “drone vigilantes” will.
“Our state police [should] be able to have the authority to bring those drones down and find out why they’re doing what they’re doing,” Christie told George Stephanopoulos. “…What we’re going to find, George, is you’re going to have individuals acting as drone vigilantes and they’ll start taking them down.”
On Friday President-elect Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that these drones should be shot down. “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!!!”
Just a reminder that America spends nearly 1 trillion dollars on defense. What do we have to show for it?
A new bill is aimed at preventing the government from colluding with tech companies. It is called The Transparency in Bureaucratic Communications Act. It was introduced by Republican Senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri.
It would require the government to disclose communications with tech companies and disclose discussions about content moderation, which the government has used to censor regular Americans and their questions about things the government did not want them censoring.
Schmitt was one of the Republicans that sued the Biden administration for censoring Americans during the pandemic. That case was dismissed by the Supreme Court but not on merit. It was dismissed on a technicality.
“The incoming Republican Congress cannot allow deep-state bureaucrats to continue censoring the free speech of our constituents any longer,” Schmitt said about his bill. “We will find the bureaucratic rot and we will rip it out.”

CNN Fakes It Until It Makes It
Last week, CNN “journalist” Clarissa Ward published this video of her and her news crew “rescuing” a Syrian prisoner who was “freed” from a Syrian prison.
Well, the Community Notes handled that and so did real investigative journalists. The video was a total fake, much like when Ward pretended to be in the line of fire in Israel last year.
Independent fact-checkers Verify-Sy found that the “prisoner” is a first lieutenant in the Syrian air force intelligence with a long wrap sheet of alleged war crimes. CNN was forced to respond to this but the piece is still live on its website. They said this to the New York Post: “We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity. We are continuing our reporting into this and the wider story.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is facing a no-confidence vote in a snap election. This means that the German government is collapsing in the wake of France doing the very same thing.
Last month, the three-party coalition fell apart over the country’s debt.
Scholz has led the German economy into the ground while generously donating to the war in Ukraine and helping NATO to thwart peace. Germans are justifiably mad about this.
Friedrich Merz from the conservative Christian Democratic Union is a candidate to replace Chancellor Scholz. He says that Scholz’ leadership in Europe is so bad that other EU leaders are avoiding him because he either “sits silent or tries to lecture them.”
$15 million. That is how much ABC News has to pay in a settlement with President-elect Trump for saying that he was “found liable for rape” when that is in fact not true. He was found guilty of defamation in the trial with E. Jean Carroll. ABC was sued for the inaccuracy and the case was settled. That money will be paid to Donald Trump’s presidential library.
$7 billion. That is the annual sales of fashion brand Vera Wang. They are reportedly about to be purchased by WHP Global, a brand-management firm.
4 seconds. That was how long the play clock froze during the Saints-Commanders game on Sunday with no explanation.
