Musings:
UFOs (unidentified flying object) over Las Vegas?
What’s going on here?
Do the ETs want to try their luck? And why would they?
If they can travel through the Galaxy at “warp speed,” they really don’t need “luck,” do they? They are smart enough to have invented a gizmo which will control a roulette wheel or a slot machine and provide them with oodles of good, old, American dollars.
What would they do with all that cash? Buy Las Vegas? Buy Nevada? Or bribe, uh, sorry, donate campaign contributions to every member of Congress in exchange for liberating all of the material from the Roswell, N.M., cash stored in Area Code 517?
And speaking of UFOs, in the present instance, “Unfettered Frantic Organisms”, now comes our local UFO who has a compelling need to take The Chas to task at great length. If, however, dear reader, you substitute “Bela” for “Chas” in the first half of his commentary last week, it would make more sense.
As for the second half of his commentary, all The Chas knows is what he reads, and he reads a lot, pro and con. Government documents, classified or unclassified, belong to We the People, not to a pathological liar. Our tax dollars make those documents possible, and We the People ought to get our money’s worth. Those documents belong in the National Archives, not in someone’s bathroom.
The more I think about it, the more I have to believe that our UFO was born and raised in a parallel universe. In that universe, Donald J. Trump won the election of 2020, by a landslide. With a mandate under his belt, president Trump set about to re-write the U.S. Constitution so that he could serve as president-for-life. His re-writes also gave him the power to rule exclusively through the use of executive orders, thus bypassing Congress. His re-writes also gave him the power to appoint Federal judges without the consent of the Senate and to give him absolute veto power over any unfriendly law that Congress might pass. His re-writes gave him the power to abolish those government agencies he had no use for, e.g. The Departments of Education and Justice, but to increase the reach of those he did have a use for, e.g. the ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) and the Border Patrol.
Through a quirk in quantum physics, our UFO accidentally stumbled into our universe and discovered that things were quite different. That is why he is so upset; he cannot wrap his mind around events which do not correspond to his perceived political views, and he feels obliged to set the record straight.
Perhaps, if the ETs in Las Vegas would stop playing the slots long enough, they could escort our UFO back to his own universe. Everyone would then be a happy camper. Just saying.
Many parts of the planet are being subjected to a heat wave. Temperatures range from 90F to 110F. Even the Arctic areas are experiencing the change in weather patterns (not seen since before the last ice age) as the permafrost melts.
One supposes that the climate-change deniers have an explanation for this shift. They will tie their tongues into knots describing it. The plain fact of the matter is that the shift began more than 15,000 years ago when the glaciers, which had covered half of the Northern Hemisphere started to melt, retreat, and re-make the landscape to what it now looks like. We’re in the middle of an interstitial period, and the planet will continue to warm up until conditions change again and begin a cooling-off phase.
This situation is a wholly natural phenomenon. How long each phase lasts depends upon Earth’s position in the Milky Way Galaxy. And there is nothing we puny humans can do about it. So, dear reader, get ready to tie up your spaceship on Jupiter.
Just a thought.
