Here is a picture of what's called the Hubble Ultra Deep Space Field. This picture is only ONE percent of what they took, which in total was only .001% of 360 degrees of space.

THIS is GOD'S creation. It is amazing! There are dozens of full galaxies in this small picture. In the known universe, there are hundreds of billions of galaxies, with lots more we have yet to identify.

Who knows what's and who is out there.

However, Earth is in a minor star system on an outer arm of a average galaxy. The distances between galaxies is tremendous and even unthinkable.

It is a vanity to think we have visitors coming to our world in all of that incredible vastness.

It would become very public knowledge if it ever happens.

In an effort to mathematically prove whether a space faring civilization exists, Dr. Frank Drake cam up with the Drake Equation.

Basically, he used math to show the average distance between stars. His first question was, if there has been any space travelers out there, on average, how often would they travel to another star. Knowing this, he used a variable to say how long this would be. He used VERY conservative numbers, saying they would travel to the next star every 1,000 years. Given this number, how long would it take them to go from one end of an average galaxy to the other (using our Milky Way galaxy as a template). The answer was less than a million years.

It was Dr. Enrico Fermi, famous physicist who started the worlds first nuclear fission, and member of the Manhattan project, who Came up with what is now called the Fermi Paradox.

From Wikipedia: In 1950, while working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fermi had a casual conversation while walking to lunch with colleagues Emil Konopinski, Edward Teller and Herbert York. The men discussed a recent spate of UFO reports and an Alan Dunn cartoon facetiously blaming the disappearance of municipal trashcans on marauding aliens. The conversation shifted to other subjects, until during lunch Fermi suddenly exclaimed, "Where are they?" (alternatively, "Where is everybody?"). Teller remembers, "The result of his question was general laughter because of the strange fact that in spite of Fermi's question coming from the clear blue, everybody around the table seemed to understand at once that he was talking about extraterrestrial life." Herbert York recalls that Fermi followed up on his comment with a series of calculations on the probability of Earth-like planets, the probability of life, the likely rise and duration of high technology, etc., and concluded that we ought to have been visited long ago and many times over.

All, and I mean all, of the rest of these Sunday morning shows are pure “Hogwash” and waste of your time and energy

I’m in almost total agreement with you. But these are good places to catch the Left’s talking points to be ready to refute. Know your enemy. To those who still have the time and stomach to watch this swill, thank you.

But yes, aside from Maria, they’re all BS. Sad.

which is not yet feasible even today

Huh? WHO says that? Citation, please.

This is often repeated to the point of being mythical, often by people like the Aliens guy, Giorgio Tsoukalos, but no engineer thinks this at all.

Harris may get the nomination, but she can’t beat Trump.

Harris would be a very tough opponent, a female version of Obama who received the two highest vote totals for President in history. In third place is Hillary. The Dems have won the popular vote in six out of the last seven elections. The reason: a rapidly changing demography fueled by mass immigration and high (compared to non-Hispanic whites) minority birth rates.

Harris can energize and engage the already rabid Dem constituency. A woman, part black and part Asian, and the daughter of immigrants. Harris moved to Montreal at age 12 with her Indian mother and graduated from high school in Canada. Her mother lived in Canada for 16 years.

Harris went to Howard University, aka the black Harvard. She is more down with the struggle than Obama. She will get out the black vote more than any other Dem candidate. The Dems need a high minority turnout.

IMO Harris is the most formidable candidate the Dems could nominate. Biden would be next in terms of a challenge. Obama is the kingmaker for the Dems. His endorsement will be highly sought.

WHO is not seeking the answers?

Science is deeply committed to searching for extraterrestrial intelligent life, a well-known project called SETI, among other things, like the Martian rovers, and NASA almost irrational commitment to finding evidence of life on Mars.

It will only get worse, because by 2025 $15.00 dollars will only be worth (pick a number) $11-13 of today’s dollars, so the upward death spiral in Illinois will go faster. Maybe Jabba The Hut Pritzker will allow all non-profits and small businesses to remove toilets to avoid paying the additional costs. Worked for him....

Tell you what here’s some reality that happened right here on earth started in on December 2nd 1946 with Admiral Richard E Byrd heading up Operation Highjump 4,000 troops left to invade Antarctica and see what was actually there they returned much earlier than expected because the entire flotilla was nearly destroyed!
you tell me what who where and why they were destroyed and who did it can’t wait for the explanation.

Medicare is socialist as well, that was my point. When you get back twice as much in benefits as you contributed, you need other people's money.

Medicare is going broke and AOC wants to expand the system for everyone. It reminds me of the factory owner who, when informed that he was losing 5 cents on every widget produced, responded, "Don't worry, we'll make it up in volume."

Galileo’s crime was publishing theories as fact. His punishment was banishment to a luxury apartment with his equipment where he could continue his research.

...we can do much more than the population knows and we’ve had a lot of help from a lot of different beings and it’s just people don’t realize what’s possible today

Heard 2nd hand from a retired state cop now working security for the FBI. He was called to Atlanta for the Superbowl and was assigned to provide security for some USAF types and their gear. Says he was taken into a trailer and shown what was going on.
There was a "No Fly" zone established. When private drones were detected violating it, USAF would somehow use a laser aimed at the offender to take control of the drone and bring it into their custody.
Seems that they caught 46 of them and these are the big ones with big cameras and supposedly some kind of traceable registrations (FCC, FAA or whatever)and that some belong to media entities. He says that the Air Force is supposed to be pressing charges.
This could get interesting

Well, I didn't say impossible, but they'd have to be machined to at least a dull finish...like the face of a gravestone. This was all done allegedly by slave labor.

(is that racis?)

SETI and NASA are nothing more than p r groups designed to divert the attention away from what’s really going on.7

If someone will explain to me what happened on Operation Highjump in 46 and 47 I would love to hear the answer

Yeah -- you can't make this stuff up, and he got a total pass by the media.

The city here has implemented a new sewer surcharge tax based on the square footage of non permeable surfaces. Since we have a large building and huge parking lot, we just got tagged with an extra $2,500 sewer bill each yr.

Maybe without toilets we avoid RE taxes and sewer charges. Might be a little interesting though for our "barflies"

Probably because that NEVER happened.

In other words, Rod, that is some wild-ass conspiracy theory put out by people trolling other people, with no basis in FACT, except to rake in money selling books to the gullible. Did you know the VERY same people who came up with the Admiral Byrd story you reference as REALITY, also said the Earth is hollow, and there are opening on both polls that allow flying saucers to go in and out of their secret bases in the middle of Earth?

However, geologists, among them some honest men searching for oil and minerals, use earthquakes and sound waves through the Earth to measure rock composition and have long since--using REAL science and math, proven the Earth has a solid iron core, and incidentally, that core keeps our Van Allen belt magnetically active which allows life on Earth to NOT be killed by solar radiation. In other words, the Earth AIN'T HOLLOW, and Admiral Byrd command was never wiped out by flying saucers from a hollow Earth!

I'm sorry to say this, but don't be a sucker for every conspiracy theory.

Since the pyramids are made out of fake Stones concrete what happened on Operation Highjump with Admiral Byrd what causes him to come back and months early and in a devastated condition?
