Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are upset that they are not seeing all the info on UFOs and UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, one of the newer buzzwords.) An amendment has been proposed ordering the release of such records unless deemed classified by a special review board.<\/p>\n
The amendment was sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), a member of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees, and is backed by Rubio and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the Armed Services subcommittee on emerging threats, as well as Sens. Todd Young (R-Ind.), a former Marine intelligence officer, and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.).<\/p>\n
\u201cUAPs generate a lot of curiosity for many Americans, and with that curiosity sometimes comes misinformation,\u201d Schumer said Tuesday on the Senate floor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rubio took a fairly thoughtful stance.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, what I know is reliable people tell us that and we\u2019ve seen objects operating over restricted military and national security airspace. They claim it\u2019s not ours. They claim they don\u2019t know whose it is. That\u2019s like the definition of a national security threat,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He also commented on folks like David Grusch, whom we wrote about earlier:<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of two things are true. Either A, they\u2019re telling the truth or some version of the truth or B, we have a bunch of people with high clearances and really important jobs in our government are nuts. Both are a problem. And I\u2019m not accusing these people of being nuts. That said, that\u2019s something we\u2019ll look at and continue to look at seriously,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Me, I’ll take ‘C:\u00a0 All of the above’ for $400. If we don’t have any idea how to do something that has been done in restricted airspace, that isn’t good. And\u00a0 the other – well, after a decade working with folks who had high clearances, I’d bet a sweep would turn up more than a few nuts whose views were just a little outre. Aliens? Perhaps there is intelligent life in the universe. I’m pretty sure it isn’t here.<\/p>\n

But the big winner is a study from Tulane University, which says that structural racism plays a role in mass shootings – then says:<\/p>\n
The study found that in areas with higher Black populations, mass shootings are likelier to occur compared to communities with higher White populations. There are also more Black people injured and killed when mass shootings take place, the findings say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
