'If we continue to see this wall of silence ... we reserve the right to actually defund positions.' If America’s top defense officials aren’t more forthcoming about extraterrestrial activity on Earth, they may see their paychecks shrink or their jobs disappear altogether, U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says.
The freshman Republican lawmaker from St. Petersburg has vowed to get to the bottom of recent, credible claims that the U.S. government has secretly run a covert recovery-and-research program on alien technology and biological remains.
Any government official still standing in the way of that goal, she said, would risk a sizable financial hit — or be out of a job altogether.
“We pay these people’s salaries. We’re paying into these programs billions of dollars, and yet they don’t want to share this information. I just disagree with that,” Luna, an Air Force veteran, told the Daily Mail Tuesday.
“If we continue to see this wall of silence, where they’re giving us the runaround, we reserve the right to actually defund positions.”
Luna’s comments drew criticism from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which argued this isn’t the first time she’s used defunding government offices as a “political cudgel.” In June, she floated eliminating FBI Director Christopher Wray’s position after he temporarily withheld a document alleging President Joe Biden engaged in bribery while serving as Vice President.
Instead of focusing on flying saucers and political grudges, DCCC spokesperson Justin Chermol said, Luna should prioritize more tellurian matters like addressing nation-high inflation in her district.
“Anna Paulina Luna cares more about aliens from outer space than Floridians,” he said in a statement. “Rather than protect our national security, defend law enforcement, and lower costs, Luna has resorted to chaos, conspiracy theories, and confusion.”

Democrat accuses Republican of not being able to hold two thoughts simultaneously, because that’s how Democrats think.
Yesterday a thread on Taylor Swift got more replies than a thread on US being downgraded from AAA.
“Slapping retards” is focusing on what’s important.
You prefer checkers to chess, don’t you?
Quite clever on your part now that you mention it.;-)
It's taking me a while to wake up this morning. I might need another cup of coffee.
I’m far more often a smartass joking around than being serious or being a jerk.
Most of my posts are quite useless…
Saying something one has never seen does not exist, is like saying the world in not round because no one has seen it.
Absence of evidence is not proof of absence.
BTW, as you may recall, the rating agencies were clueless about the collapse of the subprime market in 2008. They never saw it coming.
And they haven't improved.
Mine too.
Amen.
Now we have something in common.
Take a look at the article. The Democrats agree with you.
I think very bad economic times are coming. I’ll gladly be wrong though.
Dear Anna, you can get all the fuzzy you can stand on youtube... Knock yourself out....
If she wants to defund some positions, why doesn’t she propose to defund Jack Smith’s position and the other DOJ positions that support him rather then chase this Williow-the-Wisp!
Congress doing it usual appear to do something while doing nothing. It didn’t take her long to fit into Congressional standard operating procedure!
But there are so many different things going on that it's hard to tell. I'm a technology investor and that sector (because it often depends on being a disruptor) moves somewhat independently of the rest of the economy.
If Trump or DeSantis wins next year, I think we will see a huge improvement in the economic outlook.
Also, I am very optimistic when I see the country fight back against the Woke Movement (Bud Light comes to mind). If the Left starts getting some real grief from regular Americans, our outlook will improvement in every quadrant.
I hope you’re correct.
In June, she [Luna] floated eliminating FBI Director Christopher Wray’s position after he temporarily withheld a document alleging President Joe Biden engaged in bribery while serving as Vice President.
Me too.;-)
“... distract from the Biden Crime family”
I agree.
Thank you! She should have kept beating that drum.
Obviously she’s now found a bright shiny toy to distract her from real work. Well played, Bidenistas! Well played!
