'Uniparty' talk is fashionable these days. Yes there's a lot wrong with the GOP. But nobody matches the sheer level of crazy corruption of the Dems.
The Pentagon, at the direction of Congress, a decade ago quietly set up a multimillion-dollar program to investigate what are popularly known as unidentified flying objects—UFOs.
That sounds like just another story about government waste. A crazy, loopy story. But it goes to exactly the same place that most government waste stories do.
The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, whose existence was not classified but operated with the knowledge of an extremely limited number of officials, was the brainchild of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who first secured the appropriation to begin the program in 2009 with the support of the late Senators Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Ted Stevens (R-Alaska),
The truth is out there. And it's less X-Files than the FBI Story.
Reid initiated the program, which ultimately spent more than $20 million, through an earmark after he was persuaded in part by aerospace titan and hotel chain founder Bob Bigelow, a friend and fellow Nevadan who owns Bigelow Aerospace, a space technology company and government contractor. Bigelow, whose company received some of the research contracts, was also a regular contributor to Reid’s reelection campaigns, campaign finance records show, at least $10,000 from 1998 to 2008.
Another reminder that Harry Reid would need to live for 200 years to serve out all the prison time he deserves.
Also helping drive the effort is Chris Mellon, a former Democratic staff director for the Senate Intelligence Committee and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence.
These are people who believe UFOs are real, but Islamic terrorists are imaginary.
“I was concerned the money was being funneled through it to somebody else who was an associate of Harry Reid’s,” added the former official, who asked not to be identified. “The whole circle was kind of a bizarre piece.”
Now we finally know who gave Harry Reid that black eye. It was aliens.
