WHERE ARE THE

WHERE ARE THE DRONES?Other than New Jersey, they have beenspotted in other Northeastern states, includingNew York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.Sightings have also been reportedin California, Florida, Ohio and Minnesota.NewsNation confirmed House SpeakerMike Johnson, R-La., received a classifiedbriefing on the drones, and lawmakers onboth sides have called for the drones to beintercepted.“We should be doing some very urgentintelligence analysis and take them out ofthe skies, especially if they’re flying overairports or military bases,” said U.S. Sen.Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., last week.FAA bans drones in parts of New JerseyFollowing the large number of mysteriousdrone sightings, the Federal AviationAdministration temporarily banned droneflights in 22 areas of New Jersey wherecritical infrastructure is located.FAA officials said federal security agenciesrequested the flight restrictions, whichare effective through Jan. 17, 2025.The U.S. Department of Homeland Securitysaid the restrictions are out of an“abundance of caution,” without explainingfurther.Fox News host Sean Hannity called outthe Biden administration for failing to “getto the bottom” of numerous mysteriousdrone sightings as Americans across thenortheast watch the skies.SEAN HANNITY: Of course, anxiety is runninghigh, and rightfully so. There are randomobjects the size of a bus that soundlike a Harley hovering all over the state ofNew Jersey, people’s homes, even the president-elect’sgolf club and other importantinstallations. But let me be clear. This is nota story about aliens. This is not an extraterrestrial segment. Instead, this is a serious,alarming, potential national security threatthat your government does not seem to careabout at all or feel the need to explain inany way. And that fails to get to the bottomof this.Let me be very clear. Maybe in the endthis turns out to be nothing. I actually hopethat’s true.

from Joe Biden and Kamala and Mayorkas,even our own military, close your eyes andpretend like it’s not happening. Well, that’snot going to secure our country.The DOD says they are aware of thedrones, and that’s pretty much it. That’s it.End of story. We also have few details oranswers from anyone at the FBI, the DHS,the Biden-Harris White House or any otherso-called public servant or nationalsecurity official. Apparently, under Biden,they don’t really feel they need to answeryou. They probably don’t even know, whichmakes it even worse under Biden. This is nota government by the people. For the peopleof the people. It’s a shady cabal of all powerfulunelected bureaucrats that don’t reallyseem to give a damn if you are concerned orworried, and they’re the ones that should beon top of this. Americans, we’re entitled toanswers. If you have something the size of abus flying all over to the skies of our country,I think we need to know about that.The BLUES - JANUARY ‘25 97
