My theory about the drones which are appearing: Santa Claus is updating his present-delivery systems.
Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2024 - Part 2 of 5 - Honorable Mentions
Freedy Johnston - "Bad Reputation" - This Perfect World - 1994
Yes, we're still stuck in the 1990s, as four of the five honorable mentions are from that decade. This is another song that was a gift of the algorithm. Amazon decided that it was something that I would like and so it threw it at me repeatedly. Amazon was right. And although this song is thirty years old, I'll always associate it with 2024.
Freedy Johnston - Bad Reputation (Official Video)
Katie Couric has finally figured out the smartest thing Republicans did to ensure a Trump victory: Bussing illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard.
You'll remember that, within 24 hours, the people of Martha's Vineyard had the cops arrest every last one of those people and ship them off the island to be stored in a US military prison - or "concentration camp" as they are historically called - on the mainland of Massachusetts.
That's the smart thing they did.
They made liberals live by their own rulebook. In the process, they showed them to be a bunch of insanely hypocritical elite scumbags who don't want illegal ick in their backyards.
Once Republicans did that, and started shipping all the illegals into the sanctuary cities and breaking their budgets, of course then they could live with the consequences of their policies and immediately voters started kicking them all the hell out of office.
More like this will be needed. The Massachusetts governor and Mayor of Boston have promised to commit felonies once Trump's border czar starts arresting illegals in Massachusetts. He's promised to arrest them. We will see if Trump has the stones to do it.
And yes, that's Part 3 of 5
These drones are being operated by the Secret Service. They know if Trump is murdered, there's going to be an American Revolution and they're going to have to look behind them for Luigi every day for the rest of their short lives.

Caution! ManBearPig might put you on the Naughty list for that heresy.
How long will she be laid up? Does she have to be physically in the chamber to vote?
“We will see if Trump has the stones to do it.”
No. Trump no longer has anything to prove to anyone (if he ever did). He belongs to that elite group of human beings who have nothing to prove to anyone. We can all belong to that group but most of us use our precious time on planet earth wondering if we should pluck our chin hairs or not - what will the neighbors think?
President-Mom-Jeans writes, "Pelosi fell and broke her hip. The world is healing."
For shame! Your tone is entirely inappropriate. You should greet that news with proper solemnity, like I do
Not good at her age!
“Pelosi fell and broke her hip.”
She was walking down a marble staircase - probably in her high heels too. Folks avoid all marble staircases. They are so slippery. I helped one elderly relative after hip surgery. With the hospital and rehab facility - about a month. My coworker’s mom (93) just broke her hip, has had the surgery day after Thanksgiving and is still not out of the hospital. Best wishes for my coworker’s mom and Nancy Pelosi as well.
Life's rough all over these days. In fact, I hear that people are dying on the subway in New York, and the ones responsible for it are free to walk the streets.
PA Governor Shapiro is unhappy that Biden granted clemency to a former judge convicted in the “Kids for cash” corruption scandal. How is it that he was not convicted on any state law charges that would not be within the President’s pardon power?
For a lot of elderly people, a broken hip is a death sentence. I've seen it a lot.
I wish her a long, long recovery.
In thru the hip, out thru the hip.
Broken hips mean increased mortality for people her age, despite what I am sure will be world class care and support.
I feel the same sympathy and generosity to Nancy that I would feel toward Al Capone.
being old does not erase sin.
So you're saying he ain't got the stones to do it. Got it.
Course, you could always just push her. That's a lot easier.
Too cold for s sunrise picture? Now imagine living in a tent in the hills and mountains of Western North Carolina, with a Port-a-Potty some distance away if you need to get up late at night.

Drones? Trump says if Feds won’t tell WTFs happening – shoot them down.

Yes, a broken hip is one of my greatest fears. The other is being thrown out of a helicopter at 20,000 feet.
The smartest thing was their get out the vote effort, led primarily by Turning Point USA (Charlie Kirk's group), canvassing all the swing states identifying Trump (and GOP) voters and following up on election day. This effort allowed better value dealing ONLY with the voters that mattered. I had one stop by in Milwaukee.

It hit me later... Shes looking to get in on the Biden Pardon train.
Tried to drive to Lincoln tonight. Interstate 80 - in both directions - was at a total standstill. Ice and wrecks. I drove on the grass and got off at Gretna. Worst I have ever seen.
Clyde, I appreciate your musical taste. That has always been a fave of mine. 1994 is when I turned 16 so a great time to drive around and listen to music. Also Mazzy Star “Fade into you” and Grant Lee Buffalo “Fuzzy”.
Congratulations Clyde - you finally nailed it with Bad Reputation. Great song from a great album This Perfect World.
I know, you have to be smiling and exuberant in the initial stages of your downfall, but the Democrats really make me laugh. Beiden pardons massive amounts of pedophiles, Chinese spies, and even judges that sent juveniles to private prisons for cash? He must approve of their character because he signed the paper. His pals want him to pardon more criminals.
The truth is that Beiden offers his constitutional powers to anyone unfiltered by their mendacity, if they come with the cash. I bet Menendez gets pardoned.
Come one, come all to the Big Beiden clearinghouse sale. It's a big going out of business sale of constitutional clemency. Pay up, get out, the Democrat party guarantees satisfaction. Mark Rich (the crime boss) and Clinton are satisfied customers.
So democrats must tweak their messaging to win big in 2026. I can imagine the campaign ads directed against anyone who supported Beiden, and there are many there. Sen Durban, did you support Beiden? Why no not at all, let's play the tape.
I hope that Illinois Jabba the Gov runs again. Illinois may be redeemed.
Beiden and anyone who loved him is radioactive.
Putin’s regime may be closer to a Soviet collapse than we think Shhh! Nobody tell Tim.
Majorkas of hss says he is not aware of any threat from NJ drones. So he may be stupid but honest.
Re Majorkas. Someone said "Notice how they can confidently tell you what it's not without knowing what it is. They have that problem with genders too."
Reading about women and gay men getting aroused over how hot the UHC CEO's assassin is, I wonder how many million sexual encounters are awkwardly ending with a orgasmic shouts of, "Luigi! Luigi! Luigi!!
I'd expect in the morning to see lots of yellow snow all around that tent.
I saw a blurry light flitting around the night sky tonight. It was a spaceship, I assume, from the planet XRW14/AAX1277. I could make out the model number but barely. The second X could’ve been a K.
RBG, Feinstein, Twitch McConnell, Pelosi, Biden… Why can’t these very old and very wealthy politicians just retire and enjoy some life? I retired at 57 even though I could barely afford to do it. These are mentally sick people.
Border sheriff ignores county's new policy that blocks cooperation with ICE immigration enforcement (San Diego County, California)
"The San Diego County sheriff says her office will not change its practices with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the county’s board of supervisors moved to further restrict that cooperation ahead of the Trump administration taking office next year.
"The sheriff's office will not change its practices based on the board resolution and policy that was passed at today's meeting," Sheriff Kelly Martinez’s office said in a statement. "The board of supervisors does not set policy for the sheriff's office. The sheriff, as an independently elected official, sets the policy for the sheriff's office."
The statement came after a 3-1 vote by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on a resolution to restrict ICE cooperation with local law enforcement.
The resolution says the county will not provide assistance or cooperation to ICE, "including by giving ICE agents access to individuals or allowing them to use County facilities for investigative interviews or other purposes, expending County time or resources responding to ICE inquiries or communicating with ICE regarding individuals’ incarceration status or release dates, or otherwise participating in any civil immigration enforcement activities."
When ICE is aware of suspected illegal immigrants in local or state custody, it will file a detainer with law enforcement, typically requesting that the agency is notified ahead of the suspected illegal immigrants' release and, in some cases, that they be held until ICE can take custody of them.
ICE says this helps detain illegal immigrants without having to go into communities and gets illegal immigrant offenders off the streets. Sanctuary proponents say that such policies chill cooperation between law enforcement and otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants."

David53, are you a Chilean communist?
Because the grift must flow.
Karma. McConnell fell the other day in the Capitol too.
I feel the same!
The FAA has required that drones use Remote ID transponders since August 7, 2024, unless flying in a designated recreational remote control aircraft zone:
https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id
This change happened because (1) lots of people are creeped out by a random drone peeping in their windows, even when said drone is actually surveying a building for water damage or looking for a lost kitty, and (2) companies like Amazon want to deliver packages over long distances and the prior rules didn't all fully remote long-distance aircraft.
In 2021 New York state introduced a 50-mile test corridor for unmanned aircraft:
https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-new-yorks-50-mile-drone-corridor-host-first-nation-5g-test-network
Anything flying right now in New Jersey without Remote ID is almost certainly a US government classified operation. The military has had to deal with hostile drones for 10+ years, so they know what they are doing and dealing with.
The standard question about elderly slip-and-fall cases is: Did the fall cause the hip to break, or did a brittle hip bone shatter on its own and cause the person to fall?
"I've fallen and I can't get up" is a predictor of the onset of major medical issues and/or that death is coming soon. An animal that cannot move on its own cannot eat or take care of itself. Also see the falling stories of Mitch McConnell and Pope Francis just recently too. See Biden's walking troubles, plus struggles with stairs and sand.
Because corrupt Democrats protect other corrupt Democrats
I hope you bookmarked it.
They’re all trying to stay ahead of Johnny Law. Period. The end.
The floor really is lava.
It must be hard to be a military spokesperson who has to go out and say "It's nothing to worry about. We don't know what they are, but don't worry about it" with a straight face.
My wife and I spotted dozens of drones last night while driving south on rte 295 in southern New Jersey.
Of course they were all commercial aircraft headed for Philadelphia International Airport.
does wearing heels help senior adults maintain/improve their balance skills?
what does 'soviet' mean?
It’s probably Bill Gates — finally he’s going to unleash the 5G signals that will trigger the nano particles in our Covid vaccines that will alter our minds. Jewish space lasers will finish off the job.
Good for Sheriff Martinez
Thanks for the reminder about Bad Reputation. Great song from a great album that had completely fallen off my radar.
Welp. One down. One to go.
Thanks, Mike.
Here's what the Pentagon had to say about bringing down the drones.
"That's a decision for local law enforcement. If a drone or, you know, any activity is a threat to military installations, they always have the right for self-defense."
That's so crazy it made me laugh.
You might as well send 1,000 drones over our border. It's not like the Pentagon gives a shit!
The other funny thing is that it's only in blue states. And the libs in Congress are like, "We don't know what is going on."
Lame Duck Hit By Drone
The military has had to deal with hostile drones for 10+ years, so they know what they are doing and dealing with.
Did you notice the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how many weapons were left behind?
I'm not at all convinced that our current military knows what they're doing. The people up at the top seem to have their head up their ass.
"They pose no threat. We can't find them. We don't know where they are or who sent them. And they pose no threat."
The drones shut down an airport in New York last night, for an hour.
"Let me calm those nerves."
"We have not seen anything unusual."
ha ha ha
That is so fucking crazy. The FAA shut down an airport for an hour because of a drone in the flight path!
wow
They're not using the word UFO but that's a lot of unidentified flying objects. And a lot of Senators and Governors who want more information.
Bald guy who reminds me of Lex Luthor should stay off the TV. You're not helping at all!
