"I have said this before, and it bears repeating. The Air Force needs to shoot one of these drones down without destroying it. Then we can get some clues to their origin."
An update on the drone(s) stories. Yes, we have two different drone stories we are following right now. The first is the real interesting one. It is an update on the mystery drones which have been plaguing areas of the west since late last year. The other is the exact opposite in being interesting. It is the drone of the US Congress. Yes, that be Nancy Pelosi. The woman who can drone on for hours about absolutely nothing.
First an update on the drone in Congress. The other week I actually had to unfriend someone. Why? She said two things which qualified her for the FB trashcan. To start with, she advocated for abortion rights on one of my threads. That in itself is a no-no. But then, with regards to Nancy Pelosi, she defended her. Said the Speaker was "highly accomplished". That sealed the deal. I hit the FB flush lever and she was gone.
In any event, the drone of Congress might, just might, send over the articles of impeachment today. I am sorry - was that yawning I just heard? Probably was. She has droned on for months now about this sham impeachment. On the news this morning, one of the pundits said that probably nine times as many people in this country care more about the break up of the royal family, than care about this sham impeachment. But who really cares? The drone of Congress will continue to drone on about this issue until we are all bored out of our skulls.
Now for the interesting drone story - the drones out west. Yes, they are still out there. A few days ago, a medical helicopter on a emergency run, had a close call with one. At about 700 feet in altitude. A special plane has been dispatched to look for these drones, to try and figure out who they belong to, and what their purpose is. Here is what I find unsettling. We have drones flying around our airspace, with no (we assume) authorization to do so. We don't have a clue right now who they belong to. In these days of living in the War on Terror, I find that unsettling. Not that they belong to terrorists, but as of right now, we have no clue WHO they belong to.
I have said this before, and it bears repeating. The Air Force needs to shoot one of these drones down without destroying it. Then we can get some clues to their origin. We owe that to all Americans, especially the ones living out west who have been putting up with these things for weeks on end now. In any event, that mystery continues to live on.
Even though the western drones continue to play peek-a-boo with us, the drone of Congress is more than happy to drone on in front of us, 24 X 7. This week, I expect to see her face, and hear her shaky voice on media quite a bit. That by itself is enough to drive me to watch re-runs of McHale's Navy instead of the news. More on both these drone events later. Or not.
