					<description><![CDATA[The first UFO/UAP Hearing did result in the introduction of the &quot;Wilson Memo&quot; into the Congressional Record.

Well, the second UFO/UAP Hearing has come and gone, and from what I can see  the only new information forthcoming was the introduction, this time around, of the &quot;Immaculate Constellation&quot; document into the Congressional Record.*

Unfortunately, if you have been fairly closely following this issue, the Testimony in this second Hearing was a recapitulation of pieces of information which have already been revealed--here and there--elsewhere.

Thus, it seems pretty clear that the efforts of the anti-disclosure faction within DOD, the Intelligence Community, and various Aerospace contractors has been very effective, in scaring off any potential witnesses who have first hand experience with various crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs from testifying in a public Hearing.

					<description><![CDATA[@ huxley &#062; &quot;but it’s another to throw literal screaming and crying fits then broadcast them literally to the world.&quot;

It&#039;s worse than just screaming.

https://notthebee.com/article/hmm-can-you-spot-the-difference-between-the-before-and-after-headline
&quot;Blue Origin staffer married to prominent transgender editor kills dad with ax over petty argument, blames Election Day stress&quot;

(The URL indicates there was a different focus to the story before publication; not the only time I&#039;ve seen a disjunct like this.)

That&#039;s a sad enough story by itself, but the post includes another one that&#039;s worse.
&lt;blockquote&gt;A Minnesota dad who ranted against President-elect Donald Trump online shot and killed his wife, ex-partner, and his two sons before turning the gun on himself, according to authorities. ...

Before his rampage, Anthony Nephew had been sharing left-wing and anti-Trump posts on his Facebook account.

&#039;My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion,&#039; Anthony Nephew wrote in July. ...

Anthony Nephew shared other political posts, including an image of former President Barack Obama, Trump, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The word &#039;hate&#039; sits under Trump&#039;s face, while the words &#039;hope,&#039; &#039;heal&#039; and &#039;grow&#039; correspond with the Democratic politicians.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Sadly, neither of these people went to therapists; I would hope that even the Lefties would have talked them out of their intentions.

If one could sue an entire political party, I think the Democrats, in particular, have been accessories to murder for many years.

And clueless about it as well, as I noticed in one of the Peanut the Squirrel stories. 

Andrew Cuomo, the Plague Governor responsible for hundreds of deaths of the elderly from Covid., apparently supports demands that NY enact statutes protecting pets from euthanasia. (h/t Snow on Pine)

https://nypost.com/2024/11/03/us-news/who-ratted-out-pnut-the-squirrel-owners-have-their-theory-and-its-a-rich-one/
&lt;blockquote&gt;The squirrel’s death sparked so much outrage that it prompted a state lawmaker to propose legislation to improve animal rights statutes, calling the bill “Peanut’s Law: Humane Animal Protection Act.”

“What happened to P’nut was a tragedy,” state Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz said on X. “As a state lawmaker and an animal rights advocate, this tragedy can be an agent of change.”
The measure would mandate a 72-hour waiting period before an animal from a sanctuary can be put to sleep and creates an appeal system, while giving animal refuge sites “the right to humane due process.”

P’nut’s death has sparked backlash from other pols, too.

The spokesman for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is reportedly eyeing a run for New York City mayor, trolled Gov. Kathy Hochul on X over her administration’s handling of P’nut

“When no one is minding the store &#038; state agencies are allowed to act with impunity, this is how stuff like this happens,” wrote the rep, Rich Azzopardi. “This situation should have come across someone’s desk in @GovKathyHochul’s office &#038; someone with a brain should have stepped in.&quot;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Aside from the disconnect with Cuomo&#039;s actual behavior, and assuming that there IS someone with brains at any Democrat desk, there is no reason something like this should have come to the governor&#039;s office, but someone a bit higher up in Animal Control might have taken a look at it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ huxley &#062; &quot;It seems that the Dems will be cruel and petty whenever they get the chance.&quot;

They have always been that way, as far back as I remember.
And this is only a small sampling.
(And it&#039;s of the political elites, not the rank-and-file, although the New Left certainly meets the same standard, such as it is.)

Clinton&#039;s people trashed the White House and took keys off the computers when they left.
Obama&#039;s people went out of their way to be &quot;transformative&quot; in persecuting random citizens like Joe the Plumber.
Biden&#039;s people let their dogs bite the Secret Service staff and others.
Harris&#039;s people -- if she could keep anyone on her staff -- would have been the worst of the lot.

Add that to their routine insults and arrogance -- yes, it&#039;s who they are.]]></description>
