Proliferation of ‘legal and lawful’ drones just the ‘new normal,’ Biden Admin says

By Jamie McIntyre | Washington Examiner ‘IT’S A BRAND-NEW ECOSYSTEM’: In a teleconference with reporters and an appearance on Fox News, John Kirby, White House national security communications adviser, is telling skeptical Americans — including lawmakers and even President-elect Donald Trump — that what they see in the sky is simply an anodyne sign of the times. “We’re in a new ecosystem regarding unmanned aircraft in this country. Again, all legal and lawful and doing the right thing for the public good, but it’s a brand-new ecosystem,” Kirby told a questioning Fox News anchor Bret Baier. “We’ve done the detection, then the analysis. We’ve corroborated the sightings. And in every case that we have examined to date, we have seen nothing, nothing that indicates a p...

Chinese Balloon 2.0: Biden White House dismisses mystery drone sightings, suggests mistaken identity

By Lucas Nolan | Breitbart The Biden administration has dismissed the recent wave of drone sightings on the East Coast, suggesting that most reports are likely cases of mistaken identity involving legally-operating aircraft. The New York Post reports that the mysterious drone sightings that have been reported in New Jersey, New York, and surrounding areas over the past few weeks have left residents and local authorities puzzled and concerned. However, the White House has taken a different stance on the matter, with national security council spokesman John Kirby dismissing the reports during a briefing on Thursday. Kirby stated that federal investigators have been unable to verify any of the more than 3,000 reports of car-sized drones patrolling the night skies. He suggested that m...

After sightings above three states ‘for weeks’ some want action or threaten to take matters into own hands

By Michael Ruiz , Julia Bonavita | Fox News New Jersey residents frustrated with a lack of answers regarding dozens of potential drone sightings in the skies above their homes are threatening to take action on their own if the government doesn't start providing answers. James Ward, a Jersey Shore realtor, shared video on Facebook that he said showed "SUV-size drones" above Island Beach State Park taken Sunday. It's difficult to judge their size in the clip, which showed a number of lights hovering in the sky. "Dozens of SUV-size drones in all directions," the caption read. "Emerging at same time and flying over the ocean and then heading in different directions – what do you think?" READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Shideler: Drones are swarming U.S. military bases, and our incompetent bureaucracy won’t do anything about it

By Kyle Shideler, Commentary | The Federalist Despite prevailing public and political wisdom that removing homeless encampments is necessary to reduce crime in an area, a new national study looking specifically at Denver’s crime rates after sweeps found the narrative was, in fact, mostly false. “There is no evidence that sweeps make our community safer,” said Pranav Padmanabhan, the Denver-based lead author of the study published Wednesday in the national Journal of Urban Health. Padmanabhan is a graduate student in Public Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and one of four authors affiliated with the medical school. The fifth is with the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST Editor’s note: O...

Congress takes up a series of bills targeting China, from drones to drugs

By Jennifer Nuelle | KDVR, via AP How to curb and counter China’s influence and power — through its biotech companies, drones and electric vehicles — will dominate the U.S. House’s first week back from summer break, with lawmakers taking up a series of measures targeting Beijing. Washington views Beijing as its biggest geopolitical rival, and the legislation is touted as ensuring the U.S. prevails in the competition. Many of the bills scheduled for a vote this week appear to have both Republican and Democratic support, reflecting strong consensus that congressional actions are needed to counter China. The legislation “will take meaningful steps to counter the military, economic and ideological threat of the Chinese Communist Party,” said Rep. John Moolenaar, chair of the House Sel...
