Crashing at the Intersection of Improbability Avenue and What-If? Street

Former President James Earl Carter has passed away (1924-2024), destined to be remembered as much for his administration's troubled policies as for his charitable pursuits and legendary efforts in building homes with Habitat for Humanity for four decades as a former Chief Executive.

After the press began reporting about Carter's alleged UFO sighting prior to his election, rumors began to swirl about a potential new UFO study being initiated by the Carter White House, once he claimed the Oval Office.

However, throughout Carter's only term no publicly displayed UFO project came about, though some interesting UFO documentation did emerge in publications released via Congress.

In recent years my comments relating to Democrats have not been kind, but during Carter's era, pretty much my last time fully respecting a Democrat President, his integrity, honesty and faith inspired me.

Also inspiring -- and inspired -- was  former Democrat congressional representative James Hanley, a funeral director by trade (and refreshingly, for something different, not the almost obligatory attorney known to haunt Congress in great quantities).  Throughout much of the 1960s and seventies, as he served eight terms as a congressman, his office had been the recipient of my numerous letters regarding the need for a comprehensive UFO investigation.

Knowing of my interest and then expressed desire to assist the Carter administration, should a hopefully open UFO project be initiated, Hanley went full-blown congressional recommendation on my behalf.  Picking up the mail on the day when his and the Carter transition team's letters arrived was simply incredible for me.

Of course, no such public project surfaced, and as some suspected while others new, the government was already and always aware of the UFO phenomenon, though the scientific approach needed an injection of people and equipment calculated to learn, if possible, the intricacies of this enigma.

What role might I have played, had a project come about?  Well, armed with only a liberal college education with a major in communication arts -- and in no way in possession of extensive scientific credentials -- I believe I would have been content just to sweep the floor, empty trash baskets and maintain an awareness of what key staff members were thinking and doing.

Decades later, UFO research has become acceptable, even urgent (particularly in regard to near-approaches by "UAP" to conventional aircraft), bolstered by confessed government interest.  In this respect, I'm happy to know that the UFO has at last achieved scientific respectability -- really the only goal most researchers and investigators ever desired from the start.  As for Congressman Hanley, I remain impressed to this day how he refused to let what surely must have involved ridicule from his colleagues drive him away from a legitimate scientific mystery and an enthusiastic constituent.

Christmas and New Year's, 2024-2025

My Christmas gift to you is my intention to NOT blog for a few days. The world will be a better place and you can spend more time exploring my link list.  If you celebrate Christmas as a religious opportunity I hope the occasion serves you well.  Should you just be in it for the chance to rake in gifts, well, trust me, you'll be donating most of them to Good Will before 2025 ends -- especially those home exercise devices set up to frighten the cat and invite you to trip over them several times a day as you pass by with no desire to actually use them (their mere presence, however, may impress your friends -- isn't that why we purchase them?).

2025 will soon be upon us like a predator drone, and at this point that's an understatement. Make your year count, whether you be an entrepreneur or an illegal alien running for the border to escape before Trump gets ya.

I'll be back (said every character who ever muttered those last words in a horror/slasher movie) eventually.  Happy winter!

Those Pesky Drones

Of course the U.S. government knows all about the mysterious drones over-flying the nation's coastal areas (and more). . .I guess. . . but sharing information with the American citizen isn't something those running the treasonous Biden administration much care about.  Are they ours?  Theirs?  Its? Whose?

Yes, it is illegal to shoot drones out of the sky, but should one become disabled and land in your yard, I think it's perfectly acceptable and timely to take a metal bar and beat the snot out of it, then call the local media and -- way, way later -- the authorities. After all, you want to beat it to pieces before it eats you.  Get some good pictures, too.

Ownership, smownership, who cares? Mysterious metallic visitors invading your space deserve the full treatment, turning high tech into scrap metal in a flash.  If we don't take personal privacy seriously now, its benefits tend to slip away.

Your current President is happily selling remnants of uninstalled border wall to the highest bidder right now, depriving Trump and the American people of a defense option for which we paid dearly. If the American people exert a little metallic revenge on spying sky invaders in return, I say fair is fair.

Drones seem only a small portion of artificial intelligence destined to rebuild our lives against our will.  We need not be accepting and happy about it.  UFOs, UAP and other anomalies aside, the skies currently abound with human-made enemies posing a yet ill-defined threat to every human, animal and insect on our diminished planet.  Whatever governments know about activity up there and out there may still be dwarfed by the stubborn unknown.  Are we screwed or what?

Fourth Estate in Flames

Well, that honeymoon is over, if it ever pretended to exist.

As NBC-TV heavily advertised Sunday's Meet the Press episode in which Donald Trump would be interviewed by host and alleged journalist K. Welker, I was foolish enough to believe a fair session would engulf the airwaves.

Instead, the same old journo-activist raised its -- her -- head and Trump was treated to a barrage of got'cha questions tailored to please the left and diminish the right.  This one, she's good at starting to ask new questions before the last one is fully answered, and her interruptions annoy even the savage beasts in the field, no doubt.

But we also received plenty of insight into what scares the Democrats, for Welker harped continuously upon whether Trump would pursue his political enemies, and her abundant concern over the eventual disposition of illegal immigrants tips us off to the barriers the left hopes to construct in opposition to the old heave-ho of this criminal class from the country.

Welker's unrelenting blather should be no surprise, as her attack-dog style of interrogation has become rather typical of her encounters with guests on the right.  We wonder, too, what comments by Trump were omitted, as several spots where editing occurred were apparent.

Far from learning any kind of lesson as a result of the elections, the leftist press is merely doubling down, absurdly confident that enough viewers remain on their side who desire activists instead of real journalists.  "Woke" lives on in the most unexpected places, and journo schools will undoubtedly continue carrying the water for leftist dogma.

Daniel Penny's sham trial in New York City:  His acquittal suggests at least some modicum of fair justice and a reasoning jury remaining in Soros City.  And now the father of the deceased street thug has come forward to sue for damages in a civil suit! If this family truly cared, they would never have allowed the dead subway criminal to become what he was -- a drug-using, filthy, health-starved, mentally ill person potentially and indeed provably (his past violence) dangerous to others.  Former Marine Daniel Penny is a New York City hero, and if any city needs a hero right now, it's NYC.  Maybe the city should strive to produce a few black heroes as well, instead of depending upon DEI and utter jokes like Alvin Bragg to determine the rules of justice depending upon race.
