Remember the Russian rocket boots? 22 m.p.h.

U.S. adversaries are already working on something America is reluctant to: Enhanced Human Operations (EHO).

Way more class than the pos potus.

As in the days of Noah...
Each according to it’s kind - Breaking the very laws of Creation did not work out so well the last time.

This is the kind of stuff that Dr. Chuck Missler talks about.

terrified = wants budget increased
