Who's Minding the Coop?
The report is out. Apparently last year "multiple incursions" of drones hit sensitive military and intelligence sites in the US, some as large as 20' long. Indications are they were ship launched. The incursions lasted for more than two weeks. In all this, the military ... did not respond. Like the decision to let the Chinese balloon drift across the entire nation, the government opted to smile for the cameras. So if the military is not allowed to protect our secrets or their installations, who is protecting us now? I know: our "nanny state" government. "Shh, there now, relax. We know what's best." Yeah, right.
Who Knew?
I always thought it was New York City, but Chicago is "the rattiest city" in the U.S. ... for 10 years running. You go, Chicago. Maybe it will distract from the black-on-black crime that plagues your city.
Thanks for the Laugh
The story is of little significance. A couple people were arrested after releasing 200 minks from a Pennsylvania farm. I just liked the headline on my news feed. "Minks released, two arrested." Apparently, despite the headline, no minks were actually arrested in the making of this story.
Thanks for the ... Bidenomics
The US housing crisis worsened with home sales falling to the lowest level since 2010. I'm wondering if Dems really think 4 more years of this is a good thing.
A Fearsome Force
A Florida mother is suing Google's AI for her 14-year-old son's suicide. Apparently the mother failed to regulate her son's activities online or teach him the difference between reality and fiction. He became deeply attached to his chatbot "friend" and killed himself because he couldn't live outside that world. On one hand, AI is nonsense. No such thing. Just try an "AI search engine" and you'll see. On the other hand, AI is developed by amoral developers, making it intrinsically dangerous. And, in the end, the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Should we trust ourselves to AI with that hanging over us?
Fake News You Can Trust
Perhaps the worst allegation yet on Trump. A woman claims he touched her inappropriately with classified documents while praising Hitler. That ought to do it. Two stories side by side: Kamala told a citizen, "You're at the wrong town hall" after they tried to ask her a question followed by Joel Osteen telling a man, "You're at the wrong church" after he proclaimed, "Jesus is Lord." But this was my favorite this week. Apparently even Dominion voting machines are refusing to vote for Kamala.
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

“Minks released, two arrested.” LOL! I’m surprised the authorities were able to apprehend any of them--those critters are fast!

Two bits says they are Chinese military drones, just like the balloon, seeking where to send missiles to. Demokrats seem to want the USA destroyed.

As a military response force, we have become pathetic. The fact that there are still American hostages in Gaza and we have resorted to asking nicely is an embarrassment. We have the capability of projecting power and intelligence anywhere. "American hostages" should not be a term in our vocabulary, but is becoming an increasing reality. We allow foreign nations to buy property near military and intelligence installations and then wonder how our secrets are getting out. We allow adversarial navies sit off our coasts with no response. For some reason, peace through strength has been replaced by peace through obsequisence (think I just made that word up).

Well, if you truly want to save animals, allowing them to live with you is safer for them than living in nature. Good for Chicago.

That headline looks like it came right out of a comic news site. I wonder who got bored with the story and wondered how many people would notice the joke-of-a-title.

People say there's a housing shortage in this country, and yet everywhere I look I see homes for sale that seem to never get bought, which I presume is because they are too expensive. But hey, let's just print more money and throw it at people in hopes that they'll ignore their conditions created by poor economic ideology.

To paraphrase Jurassic Park, "You thought about how much you could do, but never stopped to ask if you should." Although in this case it's worse because they did consider the consequences and said progress is more important than the good of people. I imagine the history books will be castigating those types of people.

That dual article of Kamala and Olsteen is just too perfect, and absolutely true. Definitely news I'd believe.
Glenn, the general thought is either Russia or China. They agree with you.
If by "asking nicely" you mean building them a (poorly constructed) pier and giving them free stuff then you're right. (Sarcasm)'
Seriously, they could have traded the crappy pier for the hostages, but the Biden/Harris administration doesn't care. IMO this single issue should be enough to disqualify Harris from being elected. That she and Biden have done nothing, while trying to hamstring the IDF, is a crime.
There is a "housing shortage' currently, it's related to the millions of houses that weren't built after the 2008 crash. It's also related to the government response to COVID as more and more seniors choose to stay in their homes as they age. It's exacerbated by cities and counties making it impossible to build "affordable" housing. New construction is expensive, and usually pretty far from the center of a metro. Of course Harris' $25k down payment assistance for immigrants is just going to make starter housing more expensive.
You're right that new houses are sitting, but that's not evidence of plenty of inventory, just that one price/location point is over saturated. You're also right that the Biden/Harris economic policies haven't helped either.
