[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The police chief of a small Nebraska city has come forward with a warning for New Jersey after his community was terrorized by mystery drones.
Ord, Nebraska Police Chief Chris Grooms revealed to DailyMail.com how Valley County, NE, and its surrounding regions, were besieged for weeks from December 2019 into January 2020 by 'upwards of 40-50' drone UFOs at a time.
Across nearly three weeks of nighttime encounters, typically between 7pm and 11pm, these inexplicable SUV-sized drones operated 'with impunity,' Chief Grooms said, and sometimes seemed to be 'toying with law enforcement.'
'A lot of reports by ranchers stated that these objects were harassing their horses or cattle on a nightly basis,' he added. Some of the drones reached speeds of 120mph.
The police chief said he 'finds it alarming' that the White House is insisting that the 'drone incursion over New Jersey is not a known threat' — particularly given that the size, shape and behavior of Nebraska's mystery drones matched those in Jersey.
While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) looked into some of Nebraska's drone cases, part of a wave that covered Colorado and Kansas, all the agency could do was confirm with 'high confidence' that the craft were 'not covert military activities.'
While the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has downplayed the risks posed by these drones, their calming words have been contradicted by US military base officials, New Jersey mayors and NJ's state Coast Guard, among others.
Although misidentifications of conventional planes have been rife amid the growing public panic, reports by from US military officials across America and Europe, alongside local police, have told matching accounts of these car-sized drones.
Looking at the various blogs
I see a number of posters wondering IF the drone issue is why Biden and Harris were called back to the WH? But see more posters wondering if the WH Puppet Masters are cooking up a Political Hail Mary

[REGNUM] On the night of December 19, Israeli aircraft launched a massive strike on Yemeni territory controlled by the pro-Iranian Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement. The strike targeted port and energy infrastructure. However, Israel is becoming less and less fond of striking from afar as time goes on. They could always go after the Houthis’ supplier…
Air strikes are not cheap, and their destructive effect is not that great.
Not great? How would the writer define great in this context?
Israel is unlikely to be able to truly protect itself from the Houthis using such methods. Sooner or later, issues will have to be resolved effectively on the ground. But the problem is that it is not that easy to reach Yemen.
PREEMPTIVE STRIKES
The Israeli airstrike was the third major attack on the Houthis since they formally joined the Axis of Resistance. The Israeli army (IDF) carried out massive strikes on several military targets, including the ports of Ras Issa, Hodeidah and As-Salif, and on energy infrastructure in Sanaa.
In addition, several sea tugboats used by the Houthis in anti-Israeli operations were hit for the first time.
All of the tugboats, was the Israeli claim.
According to statements by IDF representatives at a briefing, the armed forces were tasked with paralyzing the activities of all Houthi-controlled ports as a response to the blockade of Israeli merchant ships. Fourteen fighter jets took part in the attack, which covered about 1,700 km to the target.
Fourteen spear tips, plus all those other things that made up the tail. Having accomplished it three times over Yemen, they could — in theory, at least — take a left toward, say, Iran…
The rhetoric of the Israeli command has also become noticeably tougher. They emphasize that Israel will not hesitate to conduct new operations throughout the Middle East.
Another interesting point is that for the first time in a long time, the Israeli operation was not a direct response to the Houthi attacks. By the time the next missile launch from Yemen began, IDF fighters were already approaching their targets.
Such changes indicate a change in the Israeli approach to actions in the Yemeni direction and the emergence of a greater “offensiveness” in their actions.
FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH
Israeli strikes on Yemeni territory have become larger and more destructive. This is acknowledged by the Houthi representatives who commented on the results of the latest raid. However, as is well known, aviation does not win wars. Especially when, due to Yemen's territorial remoteness, Israeli aircraft have to make a big detour, which inevitably leads to an increase in the cost of the operation.
Moreover, when comparing the cost of the operations with the actual destruction on the ground (and the damage from subsequent retaliatory actions by the Houthis), the effectiveness of the strikes raises more and more questions.
This, in turn, is giving rise to a debate about their appropriateness both in the General Staff and in the country's ruling circles. And although the Israeli opposition has not yet directly accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of extravagance, such attacks are unlikely to take long to come - as was previously the case with Gaza and Lebanon.
However, despite criticism from inside and outside the country, Israel has followed Lebanon with a ground operation in Syria. Thus, we see that Netanyahu is trying to squeeze the maximum out of the situation in the region by launching successive strikes against forces hostile to Israel. Given the experience of previous campaigns, sooner or later the Israeli leadership will face the question of a ground operation against the Ansar Allah movement.
I realize I have no military background and am therefore not qualified to judge, but that sounds nuts to me.
There are several scenarios of how such attacks could be carried out in the future.
The most obvious is the use of territories of countries neighboring Yemen as a springboard, primarily Saudi Arabia, which has the longest land border with Yemeni territories.
The expulsion of the Houthis from Sanaa (especially by proxy) would allow the Saudis to finally remove the issue of the “Yemeni threat” from the agenda and no longer worry about the security of their oil-producing regions, which have been repeatedly attacked by the Ansar Allah movement in the past.
Interest in this version is fueled, in particular, by rumors of a “strategic breakthrough” in negotiations on the possible normalization of relations between Tel Aviv and Riyadh.
Ah. Those Joooo-loving Saudis, enemies of our friends from Iran. Got it.
In addition, in light of Donald Trump’s imminent return to the White House, the Saudis expect to receive additional security guarantees from the United States, which will allow them not to fear retaliatory strikes from Iran if necessary.
However, such an open accession to the anti-Iranian front on the side of Israel does not fit into the general line that the Saudi leadership is trying to build. Largely because it would destroy all previous agreements with Tehran, and would again put Riyadh in a dependent position on the United States.
The second option involves creating a “jump-off point” in close proximity to Houthi targets, for example, on the Socotra archipelago, which is under the tacit control of the Emirates.
Previously, work on a joint base with Israel on the archipelago was frozen at the initiative of the UAE (as Abu Dhabi’s contribution to the inter-Yemeni settlement), but in case of urgent need, the facilities could be deployed again.
The appearance of Israeli forces on Socotra, although it will greatly simplify strikes on Houthi targets, will not be of much help in conducting a ground operation. The transfer of large forces through Socotra to the "mainland" will have to be organized literally under the close gaze of the enemy, which will deprive the Israelis of the element of surprise.
At the same time, the option of inviting a “limited Israeli contingent” into the country for joint counteraction to the Houthis from alternative centers of power (loyal to Saudi Arabia, the Emirates or Turkey) is considered utopian.
In Yemeni society, despite its segmentation, anti-Israeli sentiments and a sense of solidarity with the Palestinian people are still strong. In this regard, any attempts to legitimize the presence of Israeli units on Yemeni territory will be perceived with hostility, which will not add support to the already weakened factions.
Israel still has to find the key to the Yemeni and Arabian elites; otherwise, Tel Aviv will have to continue to threaten the Houthis exclusively from afar.
[RedState] In the days leading up to December 7th, 1941, plenty of the United States military leadership, especially those in the Pacific, knew that at some point we would find ourselves at war with the Empire of Japan. Japan had already invaded China, made a puppet state out of Manchuria that they called Manchukuo, and were gearing up for naval warfare in the world's largest theater of operations, the Pacific Ocean. That war began with the attack on Pearl Harbor, an attack intended to cripple the U.S. Pacific Fleet and bring the U.S. to the negotiating table - or to force our withdrawal to the West Coast.

That attack, we must note, was an attack by a major military power on a military base (well, for the most part) and was within the usual expectations of warfare. But today, we face another possible adversary in the Pacific, another nation with designs on its neighbors, and a nation that has thousands of its people within our borders, many illegally. On Thursday, Fox Business released a video of host Maria Bartiromo speaking with China expert Gordon Chang on China, the mysterious drones appearing over many of our military sites, and a lot more. In summary: Mr. Chang raised several key points explaining why he thinks China intends to hit us, one way or another.
On the topic of the mystery drones over some of our East Coast cities and our military bases around the country, Gordon Chang states:
It certainly is Communist China for many of these drones, maybe even a majority of them. You know, the increased tempo of these drone flights against our military bases is occurring at the same time as there is an increase of incursions and attempted incursions by Chinese and other nationals. Really what is occurring here is that they are preparing to attack the United States from American soil. I don't know why we need an engraved invitation from Beijing. It's clear what is going to happen. We are going to get hit and we are not taking the necessary precautions to protect these bases and to protect the American people.
When Mr. Chang mentions "Chinese and other nationals," it's important to remember that this is a direct consequence of the Biden administration's non-enforcement of the borders; we have essentially laid out a red carpet for invaders not only from China but from every other unfriendly country on the planet. Now there are millions of these people within our borders, and we have very little idea who they are, where they are, or what they are doing.
There is a lot of such activity going on right now. Chinese nationals are popping up near our military bases; Chinese interests are buying up farmland suspiciously close to some of these same bases, and now we have these drone overflights, which the Biden administration is reassuring us are nothing to worry about.
Now, will the incoming Trump administration make a difference? Maybe - for a while.

In the interview, Maria Bartiromo asked Mr. Chang about our readiness:
* In all Dictatorships and Super Powers, will seek expansion.
* Some will even create a reason for a remote, perpetual conflict as a growth solution.
*The Elites will milk or rape the revenues & assets for all they can redirect thru back-channels and/or steal.
* The natural process calls for continued expansion for more resources and wealth.
* Overexpansion leads to inevitable remote conflicts.
* Conflicts grow and withdrawals start the collapse.
Once the collapse starts.
* The Elites will apply more political population division tactics to break the voters up into smaller groups against each other.
* The Elites will increase aggressive controls and tactics against their citizens, using installed the political division tactics.
* The Elites will use their control of and abuse the Media and Courts systems.
* The Elites will hold tribunals to against their own and/or create foes (like in 1984) for deflection.
BTW: We here in the USA are seeing a lot of this under the Biden Admin already, and we have a $36,248,000,000.00 growing national debt. As DC is spending $2+Trillion more each year, than is being taken in, in taxes.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The knives have come out — and so has the truth.
Having been lied to for years by the Democratic Party machine and most of the mainstream media — who insisted Joe Biden was not diminished by his age but energized by it — well, it turns out we skeptics were right all along.
And what we're learning is terrifying. Infuriating. An unacceptable abuse of power, a usurpation of the presidency itself by a nameless, faceless cohort.
Will we ever know who these conspirators are?
Two bombshell reports out this week, in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, depict a president thoroughly out to lunch for his entire term: Top cabinet members unable reach him. Staff regularly taking his place at official events. Biden refusing to hold morning meetings but clocking out at 4pm — even though he naps every day and, in July, announced that he'd no longer hold events after 8pm.
How many hours has Joe Biden actually spent working? How was the 25th amendment not invoked? Was the danger of a President Kamala Harris — who the liberal media also tried to sell as viable — truly that unthinkable?
'Drain the swamp' resonates for a reason.
Meanwhile, Biden's campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz sought to deflect his boss's dereliction by, you guessed it, going after Trump.
Snip.
Now, will we get no less an official and public investigation into the hijacking of the US presidency as we did January 6? I would argue that this, the ultimate Biden family grift, is the greatest political scandal since Watergate.
Consider that not even Biden's top cabinet members, from the very beginning, had access to him on matters of national security, the economy or international crises.
In the run-up to the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 – which Biden was dead-set on executing, despite all best advice not to – the then-chair of the House Armed Services Committee, Adam Smith, tried in vain to reach the president.
Smith told the Journal that he desperately wanted to relay his knowledge and grave concerns about the region. But Smith was rebuffed – and thirteen American service members died in that completely avoidable disaster.
Meanwhile, Lloyd Austin, Biden's Secretary of Defense, has reportedly had 'increasingly rare' direct contact with Biden over the past two years. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also had 'an arm's length relationship' with Biden over his entire term.
Yet White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, in July, soon after that debate, told this whopper: '[Biden] is as sharp as ever…. When I walk into the Oval Office […] I have to be on top of my game.'
Subpoena her. For real. Subpoena her – and all of Biden's top inner circle, the ones who kept him 'bodied', as one source said, to a degree unprecedented for any sitting US president: Ron Klain (former White House chief of staff), Mike Donilon (senior advisor) and Jennifer O'Malley Dillon (campaign manager) to name a few.
For that matter, call in Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris and Barack Obama, who apparently was running his third term from behind the curtain, Biden his useful idiot.
And last but certainly not least, Lady MacBiden herself, who knew her husband's sick state better than anyone, but tried to foist him on the country yet again.
If there's any justice, the post-White House book deals and board seats will vaporize as quickly as the Biden legacy.

So if he was non compense mentis does that mean anything he signed was even legal?
Absolutely none of his official acts during the last four years was legal. It should all be revoked and rescinded. All the money he gave away should be returned to the Treasury. All of his executive orders should be nullified. The people who pulled this hoax should all be exposed, shamed and prosecuted so that nobody is ever tempted to do it again.
Well, I can dream, can't I?
The article claims this is the biggest scandal since Watergate. I'd say Watergate pales in comparison to Biden. Nixon was legally elected, by a landslide for his second term. Watergate was a school boy prank. Nixon was a Boy Scout compared to the likes of Biden, Obama and the Clintons.

The Biden 2020 campaign was a farce from the get-go. Biden was demented before he took office.

Yes. After his performance in Iowa he was sort of fading away, then after he was selected as the only one in the group the machine could push across the line, then the machine ran cover.
[NATIONALREVIEW] An appellate court removed Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis (D) from the racketeering case against President-elect Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... over her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Georgia's court of appeals ruled Thursday that Willis will be removed from the case because of the appearance of misconduct surrounding her relationship with Wade, but did not throw out the case all together.
''While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety is generally not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,'' the three judge panel ruled.
Willis and Wade's romantic relationship drew scrutiny earlier this year after it was revealed that Willis appointed Wade to the high-profile and lucrative special prosecutor post while the two were romantically involved and frequently taking lavish vacations together. Wade paid for the trips, though Willis insists she reimbursed him in cash. Wade stepped down from the case in March after Judge Scott McAfee gave them an ultimatum for one of them to step aside in order to restore integrity to the proceedings.
The proceedings against the former lovers began when Ashleigh Merchant, a defense attorney for one of Trump's co-defendants, accused them of secretly being romantically involved and argued Willis illegally appointed Wade.
Before the Trump case, Wade largely practiced law in areas unrelated to racketeering, to the point where he had to learn about the subject from an expert in Georgia's complex racketeering law, Wade testified earlier this year.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF has identified a decrease in the number of incidents of Jewish terrorism against Paleostinians in the West Bank this past year compared to the previous.
Still, some of the incidents of "nationalistic crime" — attacks by settlers against Paleostinians — this year have been among the most grave in recent memory, according to military officials.
Throughout 2024, the IDF and Shin Bet recorded 663 incidents of "nationalistic crime," compared to 1,045 last year. In 2022, the military recorded 947 incidents, and in 2021, 446.
This year, there were several cases of Israeli settlers killing Paleostinians in the West Bank, including during attacks by mobs on Paleostinian villages.
The IDF has similarly recorded a decrease in the number of Paleostinian terror attacks carried out against Israelis in the West Bank and in Israel, including knifings, shootings, and car-rammings.
In 2024, the military counted 254 terror attacks, compared to 847 in the year prior. In 2022, it recorded 342, and in 2021, the number was 91.
There has also been a major decrease in the number of stone-throwing and Molotov cocktail attacks by Paleostinians, with the IDF recording 1,188 such incidents this year compared to 3,256 last year, 3,779 in 2022, and 8,633 in 2021.
The IDF says it has killed 787 Paleostinian terror operatives in the West Bank since the October 7, 2023, Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... onslaught. Some 70% of them were armed with a gun, according to the military.
In all, some 820 Paleostinians were killed during that time, with 4% of them being civilians who were not button men or rioters who clashed with troops or turbans carrying out attacks.
Over 100 Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s were carried out by the IDF in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, including five carried out by fighter jets.
The IDF says it killed 479 terror operatives in the West Bank this year, 504 in 2023, 155 in 2022, and 77 in 2021.
The IDF has also detained 2,868 wanted Paleostinians this year and another 3,026 in 2023. In total since October 7, the IDF says over 6,000 were detained, including 2,350 members of Hamas.
Also in the past year, 37 Israelis were killed in terror attacks carried out in the West Bank or by West Bank Paleostinians inside Israel, according to the IDF’s data. In 2023, the military recorded 41 deaths in Paleostinian terror attacks, 32 in 2022, and just 3 in 2021.
The IDF says it has captured some 1,042 weapons in the West Bank in the past year, including those smuggled into the territory from the border with Jordan. In 2023, a similar number of weapons, 1,065, were captured. According to the military, 1,499 weapons were seized since October 7, 2023.
In 2022 the IDF recorded 970 captured weapons, and in 2021, just 458.
[PJMedia] Deposed Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad'>Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... fled to Russia less than two weeks ago, but his escape may have been facilitated by the Israelis in exchange for bombshell information. Literally.
First, though, Assad is enjoying his rest in Moscow, where he and his family have been granted asylum, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. But not all is well for Assad, despite the protection he now enjoys and the wealth he absconded with.
Hudson Institute's Michael Doran just revealed the terms of Assad's asylum:
Bashar is strictly prohibited from engaging in political activity or leaving Moscow without prior approval from Russian authorities.
Asma al-Assad filed for divorce through a Russian court and requested permission to leave Moscow for London; her request is still under review.
Bashar is barred from accessing or managing his movable and immovable assets until a decision is made by the relevant authorities. His assets in Russia include 270 kilograms of gold, $2 billion, and 18 apartments in the "City of Capitals" complex located in Moscow's prestigious skyscraper district.
Maher al-Assad has not yet been granted asylum; his request remains under review. He and his family are currently under house arrest.
That third point has got to stick in Assad's throat. He stole that money fair and square, but now Vladimir Putin will take his cut — presumably significant. I'm rather amused that Asma has filed for divorce now that Bashar has lost power. I'm not sure even DOCTOR Jill Biden is so audaciously crass, but I suppose we'll learn for certain next year after Joe hits the bricks.
You might have noticed over the last week or two that the Israeli Air Force has done an almost miraculous job of eliminating much of what's left of Assad's Syrian Arab Army. Syria's air defenses, ammo depots, illicit chemical weapons facilities... they all went boom. Estimates are that the IAF destroyed something like 85% of the SAA's combat power in a matter of days before it could fall into the hands of ISIS or HTS.
I always knew that Mossad had great intel on Syria, but that good, really? And if Israeli intelligence is that good, why didn't the IAF shoot the hated Assad out of the sky as he tried to escape?
Well, according to Open Source Intel, "Middle Eastern media is buzzing with reports citing Turkey’s Hurriyet newspaper that a 'reliable source' revealed Bashar al-Assad provided Israel with a detailed list of weapons depots, missile systems, and warplanes as a guarantee that Israel would not target him during his exit from Syria."
"Israel's subsequent precision strikes on Syrian targets lend credibility to these claims, suggesting the information was genuine and not fabricated."
If true, Israel was able to destroy the military of one of its most implacable enemies, and all it cost was allowing the delivery of that enemy into the tender mercies of Vladimir Putin.
