In 2022 I founded the Vermont Afghan Alliance (vtafghanalliance.org).
We serve mostly Afghan refugees who fought, at our behest, the Talibs and AQ. This includes Khowst Protection Force (KPF), a CIA run group.
Trump cut all funding, and they can now be detained by ICE if they look suspicious.

There is nothing illegal about flying over military bases or security sites. Small planes do it all the time.
So the drones in NJ being around defense sites is not illegal per se. The fact that the drones are complying with FAA lighting laws means it ain’t Iran or aliens.

There is a very high probability that Tulsi Gabbard’s friend, Bashar Al Assad, was killed last night.
This is Tulsis nightmare scenario… her hearing for DNI will be BRUTAL and she won’t get in

What happens if you deep fry a frozen turkey?
It's the ultimate setup for a Thanksgiving Day disaster. The physics of water and its solid, liquid, and gas phases compels us not to do it.
