    Will the president speak to the American public, after shooting down four threats to our country in the last week?

    While we are preparing to watch the Superbowl in an hour?

    Apparently Fox canceled an interview that they were going to do with him before the Super Bowl. Take from that what you will.

    Just a note:

    In war, truth is generally the first casualty.

    Another note:

    Those who think the central state would not wage war on the citizens of the States have no clue about history.

    I suspect some of the recent events may be real, and some are false alarms.

    Modern digital radars do a lot of post processing, including things like decluttering low velocity tracks (think birds). I have this suspicion, much like how the 9/11 attackers found a weak spot, our adversaries may have discovered balloons have a low probably of detection with our current ADRs.

    If we have now reduced the velocity threshold for the ADRs, there will now be many more alarms. Some of those may turn out to be adversary assets. Unfortunately, most are likely to be birds, or our weather balloons.

    So overwhelm our analyst with false alarms and put us in a boy who cried wolf status.

    ""Some of the F-22 Pilots who Tracked the Aircraft that was downed over Alaska yesterday said that it 'Interfered with their Sensors' and that 'They could see No Propulsion Systems on the Aircraft not knowing how it could possibly be staying in the Air,'" according to the public military and intelligence scanner, Open Source Intelligence Monitor."

    Bread and circuses. Bread and circuses...
    Indeed.

    What's the word on a leaking a court decision?

    What's the word on contents of a laptop?

    What's the word on hunter's board seat on a ukraine energy company?

    What's the word on election irregularities?

    What's the word on atf legislating?

    And on and on it goes.

    Have I ever shared my opinion regarding the centra state?

    To give the idiots some credit, prolly a very good idea to not do a presser while the National Anthem being sung for Superbowl.
