Otherwise...for the first time in my life, I saw a B-1B Lancer Bomber fly somewhat low-level over the house this afternoon while cutting the lawn. Couldn't get over how quite it was as it sailed away into the wild blue yonder. At least I wasn't on the bombs-away side. Then, I probably wouldn't have seen him.

Regards,
Iceman

Ep 1: Neil Howe - The Fourth Turning Is Here - Preparing For National Crisis With Community

Interesting, I've always wondered why it felt like the fourth turning for this crisis period was taking forever to happen. Didn't think about the fact that part of the reason could be due to generations living longer, thus causing the period to extend further into the 100 year period versus a 80 year cycle.

Trump is absolutely correct in calling this an “Easter miracle.” Setting aside for a moment the danger to the downed airman, it would’ve totally changed the dynamic of the war if Iran had him as a hostage. Thanks be to Almighty God.

In late 2024, widespread reports of drones emerged across the United States. From November to December, thousands of witnesses described seeing drones—also known as unmanned aerial vehicles—flying at night. The sightings began in New Jersey and subsequently spread to neighboring states, including New York and Pennsylvania. Reports soon emerged across the Northeast and other parts of the country. While investigators determined the reports mainly consisted of authorized drones and misidentified objects, military officials confirmed a concurrent pattern of unauthorized incursions over sensitive defense installations.

Sightings were reported over military installations, such as Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle in New Jersey, as well as civilian infrastructure and residential areas. Prominent reports included drones preventing a medical evacuation, following a Coast Guard vessel, and spraying "gray mist". These specific incidents were found to be commercial aircraft or atmospheric phenomena. Other purported drones were debunked as the constellation Orion or the planet Venus.
