He said he has seen the ship but not the beings.
That should be equally easy to track down. "Where did you see the ship?" And then send people out to investigate.

I for one don't think our national security is furthered by having Congress know everything about our top secret stuff... Yes, yes, they are our constitutional representatives in government charged with oversight... But they are political creatures who would torpedo America's national security interests in a heartbeat if it meant helping them get re-elected... imho.
This is 100% true. The problem is, our Constitution sets up 3 branches of government, and everyone working for the federal government is ultimately accountable to (falls under) at least one branch. The Constitution doesn't allow for some shadow agency that doesn't report to Congress or the President.

The thing is - the stuff he is disclosing/reporting has long been suspected (since Roswell basically) and he is far from the only person with a credible background to hint at them or openly disclose what they know. And it isn't just people spinning yarns - there are plenty of government documents alluding to or describing similar phenomena.
What's a bigger deal now is the format (a congressional hearing) and the increased participation from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
The guy whose voice is heard on the "tic-tac" video that the pentagon released awhile back was also present at today's hearing. He's a former commander in the US Navy.
These guys don't really have any motivation to lie in a setting like this about what they experienced or what they know or what was shared with them. Again - unless they are simply being used as tools to distract or misdirect the American public. But - there are also countless eyewitness reports and photos and videos of similar phenomena from citizens outside the government.
I believe the pilots are telling the truth in that they observed things they cannot explain. The true explanation may be mundane (parralax effect), exciting but terrestrial (top secret tech from US or China), or extraterrestrial. You just can't tell from the videos and testimony. I really doubt that they're pawns in some conspiracy. They saw something they can't explain. That's it.
The other guy is just repeating what unnamed sources have told him. So what good is his testimony? Let's hear from his sources.

At this point it's either a psy-op or it's real. If you think a former intelligence official testifying in a congressional hearing under oath is just him fucking with people trying to perpetuate a hoax you're being rather obtuse.
So I haven't followed this super closely, but am I correct that 100% of his testimony is hearsay? In other words, he is relating what others have told him but has not personally seen the ships or aliens? If so, then it really doesn't matter how credible *he* is. He could 100% believe the things he has been told, but those things may still be untrue because the person he talked to was confused, crazy, combining elements of truth with speculation or exaggeration, etc.

Edit here: Also, keep in mind that it's been ~80 years since the world superpowers had the opportunity and incentive to put their most top-secret tech on display for the world to see. We don't know what's locked up in research labs. It's entirely possible that this guy talked to someone who knew we had recovered wild and unexplained technology but drew an incorrect conclusion that the tech was extraterrestrial.

It sounds like they have the wrong guy testifying. Give us the names of the people you talked to, who claim to have first-hand knowledge, and let's get them under oath.

A couple of weeks before he passed, he had almost completely lost the ability to make any kind of words, only some noises. I was sitting in a chair beside him. He reached out for my hand, looked at me, took a deep breath, and thanked me for taking care of his daughter. I lost it.
Carry on everyone.
Damn, sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience when my FIL was in the final days of his battle with cancer. I promised to take care of his wife and daughter. I don't think anyone could keep his eyes dry in such a surreal moment.

I haven't seen any predictions that American cities will be "under water" 27 years from now. But I'm land locked and don't pay super close attention to this stuff, so maybe I've missed it.

Wasn't Johnson a 4* QB?
247 had him as a 3*, but he was a composite 4*

Dude just took a 3* QB and coached him up to a 4th round draft pick at RB. That's called player development. Don't get me started on Bijan. We'll be fine.

Damn, all five of our losses were within 7 points. Does that mean we were basically undefeated? (Hint: no)

Does anyone actually use any of these phrases? I've probably typed out RRS for short before, but I've never in my life said the words Red River Rivalry or Showdown or whatever.
Well now I have I guess.
I just call it the Red River Shootout.

If we can have a healthy OL and Neyor, Whittington, Worthy, Sanders and Mitchell all contribute, this offense has potential.
Don't forget our "depth" (/s) players -- Cook, Niblett, Moore. I don't recall Texas ever having a wr room with this much potential.
2008 got it done with Shipley, Cosby, Collins, and Kirkendall, but they also had the most accurate qb in CFB history throwing the ball and a big running threat (Colt) to keep defenses honest. In terms of pure wr talent and potential, it's hard to improve on what we have now.

This week marks 2 years without a drink. At this point, I'm fairly confident that I could enjoy a glass of wine with dinner every once in a while without relapsing. At the same time, I'm perfectly content not drinking, so no point in running the risk.

Yes, apparently the "hi" means that an athlete will commit to one of Texas's athletic programs today or at some unknown time in the future.

Stars are fixed and up - do we want our own star rating or do we want to just inherit the composite rating? I feel like if we do our own ratings it will just turn into everyone being a 5 star lol.
I did look into the boner excitement chart as the icons for the stars, unfortunately they are all uniform and its not possible lol.
I also want to take recommendations to what people want to see on that landing page (the article page is whatever - I'm gonna template those later on myself)
Given how much shit we give looch for pumping up aggy recruits in his top 44, it's probably better to rely on composite than do our own star ratings.

Damn, I had really liked him. On to the next recruit I guess.

Gerry just confirmed that his Hi from Friday was not January, but will take time to play out.
The beauty of that hot take is that our class isn't full yet. If "hi" means that a commitment is incoming... at some unspecified time in the future... then it's absolutely meaningless. In true $9.95 fashion.

In Ketch's defense, this exchange took place exactly 4 hours before the buffet opened, and he was rushing so he could be first in line.
