KLAATU BARADA NIKTO: UFOs took US nuclear systems offline repeatedly, former Pentagon UFO office chief says. “We’ve had incidents where these UAPs have interfered and actually brought offline our nuclear capabilities.”
CCP SPYWARE DISGUISED AS A SOCIAL MEDIA APP: Biden revokes Trump’s TikTok ban, orders new review.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Jill Biden’s Creepy Edith Wilson 2.0 Moment Has Arrived. “While I was loathe to make any predictions about politics last year, there was one thing that I was sure of: Joe Biden would never really be President of the United States. I doubt any of the 700 trillion nonillion people who allegedly voted for this drooling puppet ever believed that he’d be doing any of the actual president stuff.”
JILL BIDEN IS DISPLEASED: The White House Is Reportedly Not Happy with VP Harris’ Disastrous Trip to Latin America. “There was certainly progress, but there are now concerns that some of that progress may have been overshadowed by her answers to some of these questions that her team knew that she would be facing.”

LOW ENERGY: Biden’s “jam-packed” first foreign trip later and less ambitious than Trump’s.
Even though Biden waited until June to go abroad, I couldn’t find an ABC report– or any report through an internet search– that points out Biden has now “been in office the longest number of days, without a foreign trip, since Lyndon B. Johnson… Nov. 22, 1963.”
The White House and many in the media are describing Biden’s trip as “jam-packed” and “intense.” If that’s the case, then Trump’s trip was super jam-packed and uber ambitious.
According to reports about Biden’s planned schedule, eight days of meetings will take place starting Wednesday. He’ll visit three countries in a relatively small geographic area of Europe.
Easy prediction: As many as eight early lids will be called.
THAT ’70S SHOW: Deutsche Bank Issues a Terrifying Warning for America Under Biden. “The authors warned that ‘neglecting inflation leaves global economies sitting on a time bomb.’ They noted similarities between the 1970s and today.”
I had been assured by all the very best people that flooding the economy with printed-up trillions while suppressing economic activity was no problemo.

EASY MONEY: Hunter Biden Facilitated Deal for Democratic Consultants Now Under Federal Investigation. “Biden and colleagues at the private equity firm Rosemont Seneca helped Burisma Holdings hire Blue Star Strategies, a firm owned by former Clinton administration officials Sally Painter and Karen Tramontano. Biden’s emails show he played a bigger role than anyone had known in arranging Blue Star’s consulting work for Burisma. Neither Biden nor the Blue Star founders registered their work under the Lobbying Disclosure Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act.”

THE SOUND OF INEVITABILITY: The 1619 Project Comes for the Second Amendment.
Left-wing academic Carol Anderson’s new book, The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America, is all over the news. “The Second Amendment is not about guns — it’s about anti-Blackness, a new book argues,” reads a CNN headline. NPR claims that the author has uncovered the racist “roots” of the Second Amendment.
This is wishful thinking. The Second is an attempt — much like the 1619 Project — to reimagine history in purely racial terms. The result is tendentious polemic that suffers not only from a paucity of historical evidence, but from a dishonest rendering of the facts we do know.
After comprehensively detailing the constitutional debate over slavery and the nefariousness of that institution, Anderson takes the liberty of asserting that the Second Amendment was “not some hallowed ground but rather a bribe, paid again with Black bodies.” This is a contention that isn’t backed by a single contemporaneous quote or piece of hard evidence in the book.
It was slavery skeptic John Adams, in his 1770 defense of Captain Thomas Preston, one of the soldiers responsible for the Boston Massacre, who argued that even British soldiers had an inherent right to defend themselves from mobs. “Here every private person is authorized to arm himself, and on the strength of this authority, I do not deny the inhabitants had a right to arm themselves,” he noted. When Pennsylvania became the first colony to explicitly guarantee the right to bear arms, it was Benjamin Franklin, by then an abolitionist, who presided over the conference. It was the anti-slavery Samuel Adams who proposed that the Constitution never be used to “authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.” In the writings and speeches of nearly all American Founders, the threat of disarmament was a casus belli.
It still is.

#RESIST: Hundreds of Denver students demand Tay Anderson’s name removed from their diplomas.
An online petition calling for Denver Public Schools to remove board member Tay Anderson’s name from recently issued diplomas is collecting signatures faster than we can keep up with the total.
The initial goal was set at 200 signatures when launched Thursday, but now with 416 signers they are aiming for 500 supporters to make it happen.
The change.org petition is organized by Gigi Gordon, who wrote that when she received her diploma last week it was “signed by an alleged rapist/pedophile.”
The petition is based on the 62 charges made against Anderson last week by a liberal activist testifying before a legislative panel.
The activist claims Anderson sexually harassed or molested that many minors, most of whom were students and did not have U.S. citizenship and were afraid to report the incidents to authorities.

HARSH BUT FAIR: Fauci’s Cost-Benefit Calculation: You Absorb The Cost, He Benefits. “The problem isn’t that Fauci weighed costs and benefits. It’s that he was willing to impose life-and-death costs on unwitting Americans in order to benefit himself.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Let’s Play a Game of ‘If Hunter’s Last Name Were Trump.’ “The current occupier of the Oval Office has a straight-up sleazebag of a son running around out there who the press keeps ignoring. The Democratic propagandists masquerading as journalists must all be suffering a host of orthopedic ills from turning so forcefully away from each new Hunter Biden exhibit of scumbaggery.”
NIFTY: DARPA’s newest system kills drones with stringy streamers. “The Mobile Force Protection program is designed to defeat drone intrusions over military installations and convoys using small unmanned aircraft. Using an X band radar, MFP automatically detects and identifies potential threats, then selects the appropriate interceptor to respond with. The system has a few different small drones it can send out, including rotary and fixed-wing interceptors. The primary interceptor tool is the one that shoots the streamers to gum up the works of other drones.”
A relatively inexpensive solution like this is exactly the way to deal with the asymmetric price advantage of cheap drones.
