I'm with you there.

All "this" is setting the foundation of Revelation 13:11-18, with special emphasis on verses 16 & 17.

Sig Monkey - stop it !! Way too much common sense there.....

Rand Paul questioning Sec of State, Anthony Blinken. The Biden Administration killed someone in Afghanistan with a Predator drone strike. Turns out, they’re not sure if it’s an ISIS-K member or…an aid worker that they killed. The incompetence of this President and those he has in leadership positions is breathtaking.

Starting to think our intelligence community are recent graduates of clown school

FAA Grounds All Drones Near Texas Bridge As Biden Admin Tries To Hide Latest Border Catastrophe

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...t-border-catastrophe

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has imposed a no-fly zone for unmanned aircraft systems flying over a south Texas bridge after photos emerged showing thousands of illegal immigrants accumulating under it in recent days.

Images captured by The Epoch Times this week showed thousands of illegal immigrants congregating under the Del Rio Bridge in south Texas as they waited to be processed by Border Patrol.

Some 9,000 illegal immigrants, including Haitian, Cuban, and Venezuelan nationals, were in the area, Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez confirmed.



The FAA issued the notice on Sept. 16 announcing that temporary flight restrictions were in place preventing all unmanned aircraft, such as drones, from flying over the area until Sept. 30, citing “special security reasons.”

As per the notice, the Department of Defense (DOD), Homeland security (DHS), and the Department of Justice (DOJ) may take action against anyone who does not comply with the temporary ban, including destruction of unmanned aircraft if it is deemed to post a credible safety or security threat.

The ban prevents local and international media from capturing aerial footage and imagery showing conditions at the site. However, those with official airspace waivers as well as law enforcement and those flying over the area on disaster support missions are exempt.

n a statement to Fox News, the FAA said the no-fly zone ban was imposed at the request of the U.S. Border Patrol but noted that media can make a request for an exemption.

“The Border Patrol requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border. As with any temporary flight restriction, media is able to call the FAA to make requests to operate in the area,” the FAA said.

It comes amid a surge of illegal immigrants trying to cross into the United States in recent months, which has left Border Patrol agents overwhelmed and struggling to process the sheer volume of people, particularly those who arrived in the area at the bridge.

Oh, more of that obummer like transparency with that no drone zone.



Biden's 4th Worst Crisis.......this month:

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...h-relations-n2596055

Livid with President Biden for cutting them out of a defense agreement with Australia and the UK, French officials canceled at the last minute a Friday gala that was supposed to celebrate U.S.-French relations at the embassy in Washington.

The U.S., Australia, and Great Britain announced a three-way agreement on Wednesday that will help Australia counter any aggression from China in the region. The U.S. will provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines, which French officials have called a “stab in the back.”

Late on Wednesday, the $40 billion submarine contract signed in 2016 with a French company was passed over for the newly established partnership dubbed "AUKUS."

While the deal with France would have provided Australia with conventional submarines, the new alliance will instead grant the Indo-Pacific nation with highly sensitive nuclear submarine technology.

French officials described the exclusion of France, a NATO member, from the new British-Australian-U.S. military partnership as a moment that will deepen an already widening rift between longstanding allies. President Emmanuel Macron has already said he intends to pursue French “strategic autonomy” from the United States.

When is the last time France waged a successful military campaign? I don't mean as part of NATO. I mean French military forces prevailing in a confict. When was the last time?

I’d argue that the last time they were successful was 1781, during our War of Independence. Sadly, those in power were executed during the French Revolution.

Since then, they’ve lost the Napoleonic Wars, Franco-Prussian War, stalemated WWI, lost WWII, and lost their colonies post WWII. Not a sterling record…

So, then- tough noogies, France.

In July 1453, a French army crushed its English opponents at the Battle of Castillon, the last major engagement of the Hundred Years War.

Well after all the accusations from the Left, the corrupt MSM and RINOS of Trump trying to end NATO, of tearing NATO apart for simply asking for them to pay their fair share, it looks like the inept Biden administration is really going to doing it. First the Afghanistan debacle, now this. Good job dipshits.

I'm not opposed at all to helping out the Aussies defend themselves from the ChiComs, but the people who think of themselves as the smartest people they ever met, proved once again that they are imbeciles.

1066 the Battle of Hastings, although that was more a Norman/French army than solely a French army.

Well, technically the French air assault on Paris during the Algeria Crisis was a success. As far as I know the French still hold Paris.

So, they've had a dry spell, somewhere between sixty and a thousand years.

With all the military equipment the Biden administration just left behind in Afghanistan, with out a second thought, how upset would they be if the Australians decided to just hand over the subs or the sub tech to the Chinese.
Just like the Australian citizens handed over there firearms for cash.

Wasn’t France cut out because their conventional sub program went wildly over budget with little to no results?

This would seem to be a good policy decision on the part of France until the US can vanquish the current administration!

That said, by France being left out of the new defense agreement, a unique opportunity was lost, for the partnership could have been dubbed 'AU FUKUS'!

Two things are for certain: 1) Jimmy Carter will die knowing that he was not the worst president in history and 2) Joe Biden will die never knowing that the was president.
