Seriously, I want this cat!

This is not a short video. Feel free to skip over the first 31 minutes of people getting seated and introductory praises. The question and answer testimony begins around the 31 minute mark of this b0-partisan hearing of the whistle blower protection sub-committee of the US Congress yesterday.

Some interesting revelations crept out in this sequence of 'whistle blower' hearings. The US does have the remnants of crashed space craft of non-human origin. The US does have biologic specimens of the not human occupants. Efforts to understand and reverse engineer recovered components have resulted in injuries, but they continue. Humans have died in circumstances surrounding the, acquisition, research and or concealment of it.

Since we are speaking of new technologies with potential application to Defense, transportation, energy, etc. much of the work is TS SCI code word classified. Compartmentalized information not likely to be shared with America's enemies. This is understandable. This Congressional hearing resulted because some of what these people know potentially has potentially raises safety and ethics concerns which the security classifications prohibit their revealing, therefore they have made whistle blower complaints to their respective IGs and suffered potentially unlawful retaliation for those complaints. Such unlawful retaliation falls under the authority of the US Congress to address. Afterwards some of the Congresspersons involved revealed intention to arrange a closed door version of the hearing in which the questions could not be answered lawfully in an Open Hearing could be lawfully answered in detail.



I regard this as a continuation of the previous (now lost) blog I did in which I posted a link to the US NIO'a unclassified 'Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena' in 2021 as Ken_19. A link to that report is again presented here (PDF).

News this afternoon reports Sinéad O’Connor has died at the age of 56.

It was getting late and I decided to run to Publix grocery store for water and a few things. At the produce department, they were putting out 'tomatoes on the vine' so I had to get some. Watermelon, yeah... I'll take one. Peaches were actually picked at the right time and the price was right. Romaine lettuce was twice the price as Walmart, so I passed on that.
Meat department... ground chicken was on sale. Had to get one package. Bottom round roast was less than the thin cut slices, I didn't have my banker's cellphone number to get a loan approval, so I only bought a small piece.
Tomato sauce without sugar... 4 cans and some tomato paste.
Yeah, I was there for water. 2 gallons and some assorted 2-liter bottles of flavored seltzer water. Coca-Cola 2-liter products are now $3.49. I bought gas on Friday, it was $3.39 per gallon. I'm not sure how they justify soda to be nearly double to gasoline.

I had to stop at the bakery and eye all the things I shouldn't eat.
English muffins were 'buy one, get one free' so I had to do that.
Last into the cart was the Morón.

Specifically, it's Torticas de Morón also known as Cuban shortbread cookies.
Basically, the first two ingredients are flour and sugar. Not that I needed any sugar in my diet, but they are awesome.



So, if someone calls you a moron, think of the Cuban confection... sweet.

That 'quick trip' was $75.

Quite different from the image of Zelensky and Ukraine that's portrayed nowadays by our mainstream media and governments
So the question is: Who is Zelensky? Who is behind him? And how deeply have foreign intelligence services (including military) been embedded in Ukraine, and for how long?

Tonight, in darkness, a 40 or 50 foot span of the Kerch bridge connecting Russia to Crimea suddenly dropped into the water. The Russian Governor of the Kerch province describes the incident as an accident and says 1 person is dead and another one hurt. Witnesses not employed by the Russian authorities are reporting on Social Media there was an explosion. Earlier today Russia fired upon both aerial and marine drones passing by or going to Sevastopol. There was footage posted of Russia shooting at a marine drone, but no evidence was posted by Russia showing it being hit. The timing of the 'accident' at the Kerch bridge suggests the target of the marine drone may not have been the Russian Navy base at Sevastopol but the Kerch bridge.
The sun is just coming up there and some photos of the missing span are starting to appear on Twitter and Telegram.
You are entitled to vote. Was the cause of the accident shoddy Russian construction? Or did an attack drone slip by the recently added defenses to the Kerch bridge which Russia had claimed made it invulnearble to any attack.

40-year-old military veteran, Waltine “Walt” Nauta, was Donald J. Trump's valet at the white house and became his executive assistant/personal valet after Trump left the presidency.

Once Trump launched his 2024 presidential bid, his campaign operation also began paying Nauta's salary estimated at $135,000 per year.

He appeared in court last month with Trump in the connection of the classified documents case. Unable to find a lawyer registered in Florida, his arraignment was delayed a month. Speculation is Trump (indirectly) is paying his legal fees.

Although being charged himself, he is a key witness in the case against Trump. The Department of Justice (DOJ) alleges that Nauta took boxes of materials from the white house that went to Mar-a-Lago. During the time the government tried to recover the boxes of classified documents, it's stated Nauta had moved boxes several times.
How did they know?
They were able to obtain security video from Mar-a-Lago including some witnessed by Trump's lawyer when the boxes were moved. What's worse, is he lied to Federal investigators who questioned him about the documents he claimed to know nothing about. They have him on video.

Reports are he stands a good chance of prison time if convicted. Reports also say he was offered a plea deal that he declined. Loyalty to Trump is costly.
Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen was interviewed by saying either way, Nauta is looking at serious legal issues and should reconsider 'Flipping on Trump' in exchange for a lesser sentence.

The prediction is Trump will postpone his court date and this may drag out past the election. Walt, could see his court date before the end of the year.
The question then... if Nauta does time for his connection with Trump... what happens to Trump?
