  1. RE: Our “friendly skies”

    With commercial aircraft, military aircraft, rockets going up and space junk falling down, add in UFOs—zooming all around and over every nation on the planet, and our very busy skies are chock full, swarming with all sorts of objects.

  2. Yep, our friendly skies are so full, yet, good high resolution images of UFOs just can’t seem to be taken or shown.

    Occam, your razor is missing!

  3. cb, yes, saw that a few days ago. As water is THE primary greenhouse gas this may actually be the cause of the temperature spike.

    And on the same topic, that is weather, not “climate change”. Earlier it was predicted that Europe would have an unprecedented heat wave through August. The summer started out above average temps, but now plunging into single digits (Celsius) and they may need to turn on the heat in their houses. Of course, as this is weather, it could warm up again, but just add this to another of the long list of failed greenie predictions.

  4. well carbon is bad obviously, nitrogen is bad because reasons, so can we have argon?

  5. Why Hollywood produces junk and is now in trouble. Those writers on strike want a larger slice of profits that don’t exist.

    The Andrea Widburg summary article.

    The original John Nolte article.

    The super short story is that cable pay-TV ruined the incentive structure of the system.

    The thing that’s ticked me off for years is the fact the I have probably paid thousands of dollars into Disney’s ESPN and Fox’s Fox Sports channels over my lifetime, and haven’t watched 15 minutes of their content. That’s downright un-American, to borrow an old phrase.

  6. RE: Other nation’s experiences with UFOs.

    We tend to think of UFOs as a strictly U.S. phenomenon, but there have been what may be hundreds of thousands of sightings outside of the U.S.–all over the world, and several major encounters of various degrees.

    Some notable examples–in New Zealand—the mass sighting in 1970 at the Napier school, in England—the 1980 incident at Rendlesham Forrest, in Africa—1994 at the Ariel school in Zimbabwe, in Brazil—the 1996 Varghina UFO crash which, according to witnesses, included a then living alien captured by the Brazilian military and taken away. **

    Moreover, several countries have reportedly had or still have programs researching UFOs—Russia *see below, and China (both said to also have their own crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs), France—with it’s own dedicated research organization, called GEIPAN, the UK—which supposedly released all of it’s UFO files a few years ago, and several countries in Latin America as well.

    There are also reports that the “Five Eye” countries—the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand—regularly share intelligence on UFOs.

    Finally, just released and presented in full in the long article below are two letters sent to the House Oversight Committee after their recent UFO Hearing, and printed in full in the Congressional Record, from reporters and long time investigators of the UFO phenomenon George Knapp and Jeremy Korbel, with Knapp writing that, among other things, military sources that he interviewed in Russia–during the short opening of Glasnost in 1993–told him that, up until that time Russia had had more than 45 encounters with UFOs, that Russian jets had chased, and sometimes tried to shoot down these UFOs, that two Russian pilots had died as a result and that, after that, the Russian authorities decided that it was unwise to try to shoot down craft which were so technologically superior, and stopped the practice.*

    ** Funny, how this contemporary red-eyed alien reportedly gave off a strong odor of sulfur, and that, in ancient times, the odor of sulfur was said to be given off by the Devil and demons.

  7. Something I have tried pointing out to worried people before is that deserts have wild temperature swings from day to night in the summer because of the lack of water in the air and humid places like Houston are still hot at sunrise in the summer because of the humidity.

  8. “Biden”‘s (and Fauci’s) pals are as busy as beav—sorry, make that bats (or pangolins, for sure…yeah, pangolins…or dogs for the more run-of-the-mill…)….

    Meanwhile Paul Rand is having more delusions of ordure:
    ‘Rand Paul Files Criminal Referral Against “Absolute Liar” Fauci’—
    https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/rand-paul-files-criminal-referral-against-absolute-liar-fauci
    Doesn’t Paul realize that Fauci is a protected species? Probably more so than Hunter??
    (One may well wonder if and when will he ever experience that epiphany?)
    Guess that means that someone’s gonna hafta teach the man ANOTHER lesson.
    Kneecap ‘im. Break his bones. Burn down his domain.
    Even if he has refused to let “Biden” intimidate him so far, it’s not healthy for the “President” to allow this brazen—this OBSTINATE, this rebellious attitude to go unpunished.
    Don’t want the peasants to get any ideas, now, would we…?

  9. And what’s this?
    Again?
    “Biden Gaslights Americans With Fake “Manufacturing Boom” As US Production Plunges”—
    https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/biden-gaslights-americans-manufacturing-boom-us-production-plunges
    Well, why not? It certainly seems to work!
    Yep, everything—and MORE than—we’ve come to expect from the Transformation Tag Team that’s hijacked the country…
    …while the usual suspects lap it all up, with gusto, enthusiasm and—acting like the brainwashed intellectual automatons they unfortunately have decided to become—derision for the hated political opposition.

    Chapter 11 and / or penny stock status cannot come too soon for Disney. Even after the latest round of tanks, their p/e ratio remains oddly inflated. The stock price would have to drop by about 60% for it to reach a normal value.

  11. Re: Hollywood

    Indiana Jones 5 is quietly exiting the theaters with global revenues less than $350 mil. They needed $800 mil to break even.

    Disney is imploding with tons of blame-casting, firings, and project cancellations.

    Disney is being careful not to learn much from the experience. A Star Wars prequel, “The Acolyte,” is rumored to expose the Jedi Knights as the Bad Guys in the Star Wars universe.

    They ruined Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Now Obiwan Kenobi is a Bad Guy. Mission complete.

    The Future is Female!
