Remember when El Paso airport was shut down for 10 days and then wasn't? The admin flooded the zone with "cartel drone invading America!" Well. No. The DOD let CBP use experimental lasers to shoot down party balloons while commercial air traffic was in the area.
FBI: CBP shot laser at Valentine’s balloons it thought were drones
An FBI document read to MS NOW indicates the border agency mistook the balloons for a threat and failed to coordinate with the FAA.

This may be old news to y'all, but I just learned that Kimbal Musk owns The Kitchen restaurants in Boulder and Denver.
Not only is he Elon's brother, but he's on the Epstein list.

The FAA announced the 10-day closure of El Paso airport for "security reasons," only to lift it a few hours later, stating, "there was no threat to commercial aviation."
In these interesting times, it's not even worth speculating on WTF is going on. They [tm] don't even know what they are doing.

Elon Musk is moving the goalposts back to what was once SpaceX's top target, with sights now set on the moon. The pivot comes as the company’s initial public offering fast approaches.

Using military war terms is very telling. Not only how they perceive themselves, but also how they view average Americans.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

We don't have a constitution any longer, do we?
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Listen, Sundowner in Chief, Davos doesn't care about your 2020 election grievances, especially after Canada gave the speech of our lifetime, condemning you.
This man shouldn't be out of a memory ward, let alone leading a country.
