Ex-CIA officer gives chilling drone theory as terrified residents sound the alarm and crisis spreads to 4 more states | 14 Dec 2024 | Mysterious drones terrorizing residents from coast to coast have now been spotted in California, Massachusetts, Florida, Wyoming, Maryland, New York and New Jersey — as a former CIA staffer has waded in on what may be causing them. Now, the inexplicable issue has reached a boiling point as Joe Biden remains silent — refusing to address the mounting crisis, fueling country-wide fear and confusion. Terrified residents on the West Coast, specifically in Riverside County, California, are the latest to have spotted the flying objects in the sky after questions were first raised about drones in New Jersey airspace. This comes as former CIA operations officer Laura Ballman revealed her chilling theory that the drones lighting up multi-state skies may be a “classified exercise.” She told Fox News Live that the drone sightings are “extremely unsettling,” and shared her theory that they may be part of a technology “test,” orchestrated by the Biden Administration.
New Jersey sheriff sent its own drone to follow mystery aircraft – what happened next was petrifying | 14 Dec 2024 | A New Jersey police department has sparked concern after it revealed that a drone it sent up to track a mystery aircraft “easily” evaded their device before disappearing into thin air. Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said his force launched its drone after one of his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles, “coming off the ocean.” The officer dialed 911 to alert state police, the FBI and the Coast Guard. The maritime agency then reported seeing spotted 13 drones following their boat, estimating that the devices had a wingspan of eight feet. Matronardy told NewsNation the force put up an “industrial grade” drone to follow one of the devices, but it quickly slipped through their grasp. “If this is not our military, then it’s even more scary,” McHugh said. Ocean County Sheriff’s Office said it has been struggling to track the flying objects as they don’t give off heat like regular drones. “We don’t know [why]. It’s not something we’ve had our hands on or experienced,” one officer said.

THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM,” Kirk posted on X. “LOOK FOR VIDS OF THEM TRANSFORMING FROM BALLS OF LIGHT TO PLANES WHEN FILMED TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVESTIGATING. THEY ARE DOING THIS. WHATEVER YOU SEE IN THE COMING DAYS IS NOT GOOD.”

Russia warns Israel against annexing Golan Heights | 16 Dec 2024 | Israel should avoid being “intoxicated by opportunities” presented by the ongoing crisis in Syria, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned after Israeli troops launched an incursion into the neighboring country. Earlier this month, Syrian opposition forces led by Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) jihadists launched a surprise offensive across the country, capturing a number of major cities, including the capital Damascus. In response, Syrian President Bashar Assad resigned and was granted asylum in Russia. Following the fall of Assad’s government, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) invaded the buffer zone between Syria and the Golan Heights. Despite harsh criticism from the UN and Arab states, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that his cabinet had approved a plan to expand the Jewish population in the illegally occupied area and “settle” in the Golan Heights indefinitely.

North Dakota is the latest state to report that the brutal Venezuelan migrant gang is operating there after alleged member Henry Theis, 25, was busted last month for hacking and ripping off ATMs in West Fargo to the tune of 100,000, according to authorities. And he’s not the only suspected TdA member to now have been identified in the city of 40,000. West Fargo Police Chief Pete Nielsen told The Post his department is doing its best to address the threat of such foreign gang activity — but its resources are limited, a situation that has been made only more “difficult” and “frustrating” without federal help.

Trump sues Des Moines Register, top pollster for ‘brazen election interference,’ fraud over Harris poll | 16 Dec 2024 | President-elect Donald Trump is suing the Des Moines Register and its top pollster J. Ann Selzer for “brazen election interference” and fraud over its final 2024 presidential poll showing Kamala Harris leading him in Iowa, despite his ultimate victory in the state by more than 13 percentage points, Fox News Digital has learned. The lawsuit was filed Monday night in Polk County, Iowa under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act and related provisions. It says it seeks “accountability for brazen election interference committed by” the Des Moines Register (DMR) and Selzer “in favor of now-defeated former Democrat candidate Kamala Harris through use of a leaked and manipulated Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll conducted by Selzer and S&C and published by DMR and Gannett in the Des Moines Register on Nov. 2, 2024.” “Contrary to reality and defying credulity, defendants’ Harris Poll was published three days before Election Day and purported to show Harris leading President Trump in Iowa by three points; President Trump ultimately won Iowa by over thirteen points,” the lawsuit states.

Biden slammed for commuting sentence of notorious ‘Kids-for-Cash’ judge convicted of imprisoning juveniles for $2.1M kickbacks | 12 Dec 2024 | The corrupt former Pennsylvania judge convicted of funneling juveniles to for-profit detention facilities in exchange for 2.1 million in kickbacks had his lengthy prison sentence commuted Thursday by President [sic] Biden. Former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan, the jurist at the center of the so-called “Kids-for-C-sh” scandal, was among 1,499 commutations the 82-year-old lame-duck president granted in the largest presidential act of clemency on a single day in modern history, according to the White House. The mother of a victim of Conahan’s disturbing crime fumed upon hearing of his commutation. “I am shocked and I am hurt,” Sandy Fonzo, whose son committed suicide after he was locked up as part of the scheme orchestrated by Conahan and former judge Mark Ciavarella, said in a statement.
Insiders reveal how the Democratic Party is locked in a nasty ‘knife fight’ as top politicians seek revenge for Kamala’s $1.5 billion ‘circus of lies’ | 14 Dec 2024 | Warring Democratic factions are in a “knife fight” for control of the Party after Kamala Harris’s humiliating election loss, say political insiders. The battle lines are now drawn between West Coast liberals, Bernie Sanders-socialists and moderate technocrats in the Midwest, who insist the party has completely lost touch with the average American voter. But first, there is one thing that all sides seemingly agree on: The current political establishment must be chased out of national politics for good. A reckoning is coming. “The people that are responsible for this s**t-show are the Obama people. They’re just grifters,” a well-connected Democratic donor exclusively told Daily Mail.
Big Pharma Bailout Is a Major Trap for President Trump By Conservatives for Lower Health Care Costs | 15 Dec 2024 | Congress is pushing a last-minute and massive health reform bill that cuts a deal with pharma to raise drug costs for patients. It would be a disaster for the country and for President Trump. Specifically, Big Pharma is pressuring Congress to ram through a massive pharma bailout that will take more than 50 billion from taxpayers to give to pharma — right before Trump takes office. This bill will be a massive price hike for drugs that patients will blame on President Trump. That’s why pharma is working with Democrats to pass it. Your premiums would immediately go up if this passes. This bill undermines President Trump’s commitment to take on Big Pharma — when pharma gets the windfall, Trump will be blamed.
Why Didn’t They Steal It? –They did. Eric Hovde? Kari Lake? Mike Rogers? Sam Brown? 12 House Seats. Thousands of state, county, states and county attorneys, school board seats By Elizabeth Nickson | 14 Dec 2024 | But why not the whole show? Simple. The bankers wanted Trump. It was touch and go, their decision, hanging on to the last minute, until Kamala, the MKUltraed sex-operative puppet was revealed as too broken to run a corner store. They didn’t change fast enough for the U.K., and Kier Starmer is their last, and I think final, PM/WEFer patsy… Kamala may have formally spent 1.2 billion on her campaign, but according to one of her very cross campaign advisers, there was another billion in globalist funds smurfed through the countless non-profits that form the life-blood, the circulation system of the left. Nineteen states are investigating Act Blue, caught red-handed stealing the identities of elderly working-class men and women and donating tens of thousands in their name per year in tiny amounts, the fraud continuing for a decade, more. Even the dead contribute. The actual m-ney is from foreign governments, billionaires, American and otherwise.
