Nearly nobody here will get this joke.

I have no view, other than I think you are crazy.

Of course I'm afraid of planes. That's why I flew them for over 40 years, and a drone for the last ten. You are a special kind of goofy.

Totally ridiculous. Is this post an intentional joke? Let's hope so, or we have a lune on this forum.

I humbly suggest adjusting now. The military has plenty of airspace to conduct low level training of small drone flying. No need.

The claim is preposterous, and so typical of these folks. This Administration and Obama's, which also freed up a bunch of money for Iran to funnel into its proxies has led to this. Netanyahu did everything opposite of what Biden's controllers wanted, and thus the success. Don't invade Rafa. Don't expand into south Lebanon to address Hezbollah. Put in place a restrictive semi embargo on providing Israel needed weapons. To Iran..."Don't." They did. Stating we have no people in a war zone while the Eisenhower is defending against attacks on its task force and commercial shipping every day while at the same time denying that task force to take the threat out. Absolute fiasco from them. An undeniable pattern of mistake after mistake in the Admin's judgement and advice regarding the entire Iranian proxy thing and dealing with Iran itself.

Your statement is an assumption, so your question/challenge is meaningless.

I don't think its an airspace conflict issue or there would be far more action. The FAA would be far more aggressive if there was conflict.

I've got a feeling that when the facts are known about this, a few people who think the US gov is behind this are going to feel silly. Want to keep a secret? Note how they do this? Look at the F-117 project and operation Constant Peg at Tonopah Test range. That's how these things are done.

Ya, I've seen that. I am suspicious of these judgements. I can't see any reason the gov would do this. Its not like they don't know what's underneath these things, and they certainly know they would be seen. Just an opinion, but I'm of the view that this is nothing.

If it was the gov and secretive, they wouldn't have the lights on, and to what purpose? 2000' is really high for a drone, and illegal. That would also get them into much stronger winds, probably 30-40 knots. Not where a drone wants to be. 30-50 mph is really fast for a small drone.

Being a church does not allow you to subborn or support illegal activity, nor determine what it is or isn't, nor decide what laws the nation has in place are to be abided by. Some churches do it becasue the gov has not decided it's worth it to go after them. That may change, and I hope it does. Aiding in an illegal activity is itself a crime. Want to do it? Risk losing your tax exempt strategy as a fist step, and more personally punitive punishment next.

I have no idea what their purpose is and I'm sure they can be detected. Depending on what type they are, it's usually fairly easy to figure out who's flying them becasue they are remotely controlled unless a programmed route is inserted, and the remotes are not that powerful meaning the operator should be fairly close by. In addition, unless they a somewhat sophisticated, they are pretty easy to jam and make go stupid, even crash. It would just take a little enforcement time and effort, and they probably only need to get one in order to figure out what is going on. I've got a commercial drone license and used mine commercially for a number of years doing real estate and other pay projects for fun. Whoever is flying these is probably not licensed.

They're not permitted in controlled airspace, which the airspace close to an airport is, without a clearance. Drones have very specific flight rules they must abide by.

They would not be "invading Catholic Churches." That is a ridiculous conclusion, made by the same folks who demand Catholic Hospitals permit abortions. When a criminal is to apprehended, no church has the right to protect them against the law.

I'd go with Netanyahu. Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran significantly impacted. Total realignment of the middle east, going against every single thing Biden suggested, which seems to be the formula for success. Massive difference between last year and this.

Like how he "nailed it" when he said the internet would be no more effective than the fax machine in economic issues? Or when he recently stated that 70% marginal tax rates were "reasonable." I thought the guy retired, but not soon enough.

I think they demonstrated how incredibly stupid they are. They always assume that the world court, as the UN is, will rescue them when Israel destroys them, which it always does. This time, that didn't happen. Israel decided it would go to the mat to destroy Hamas, no matter the international viewpoint. Momentum led them to Hezbollah, correctly. The weakness of Iran is a biproduct that led us to this point. Either way, there is no turning back, nor should there be. I'm not sure who are referring to when you state "neither side." If you are referring to Israel as one of these 'sides," they absolutely "share our beliefs."

Israel is doing the Corleone strategy, where at the end of Godfather 1, Michael "settles all the family business." Israel clearly doesn't want the Iranian weapons supply pipeline to get into the hands of wackos.

Airplane vs airplane, bet on the F-22. Simply unbelievable, but being out serviced. After that, bet on the F-35. In US trained hands, a star wars machine.

I am neither silly, angry nor frustrated. Regarding your question, the individual flying is more important, at the margin, than the airplane. I say that as a Topgun adversary instructor having flown against everything from F-4's to F-14's, F-15's/16's/18's and all NATO Europe has, as well as a host of Migs. Bet on the guy, not the airplane, within reason.

You have self identified as an absolute moron. I always knew it, when you challenged me and then ran like a cockroach when directly challenged, but this is further evidence. You posted Syria stuff in this thread, and then tried to hide when called out. You have no idea what happened in that Minneapolis area, and you have no idea what a "small section" means. Totally ignorant.

I note that you have removed your completely unassociated Syrian posts from this thread about an assassination in NY. A bit too late to go unnoticed, but that's what you do, which is to post and hide when challenged. By the way, regarding your claim that things weren't burned down, do you have any idea what happened in that Minneapolis neighborhood? Not likely, but no surprise.

What do your posts have to do with this thread, which is about an assassination New York?

I think Trump and the group are much better prepared this go around. The fact is that there are people who really care about this country and unlike some others, you can really influence things. Money means nothing to them, as they have that box checked. We are lucky to be in this position. We are not lucky to have the Congress we have had over the past decade. We shall see how this plays out.
