Well, today’s the day.
The date selected by some kook for other kooks to gather and make a stupid, futile gesture.
I’m not talking about the “climate strikes,” though. I’m talking about the well-publicized, pre-announced flash mob (only liberals could screw that up) — the storming of Area 51. . . while we have a president who’s OK with nuking storms.
FAA Closes Airspace Around Area 51 Ahead of Alien Raid Event
Digital Trends | September 18, 2019 | Allison MatyusTo deal with any extraterrestrial-seeking attendees of the viral “Storm Area 51” event, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that airspace around Area 51 will be temporarily closed this weekend.
The FAA issued temporary flight restrictions between September 18-23 for “special security reasons” in the Nevada desert where U.S. Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range — commonly known as Area 51 — is located. That means no one can fly aircraft in the surrounding area, including would-be alien hunters hoping to send a drone hovering above Area 51.
The closures could be a result of the popularity of the Area 51 Facebook event called, ‘’Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” which has captured the interest millions of people. According to the Facebook invite, 2.1 million have RSVPed as attending the event, though there’s almost no chance even a fraction of that number shows up when it kicks off on September 20. The event’s description reads, “We will all meet up in Rural Nevada and coordinate our parties. If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let’s see them aliens.”
“They can’t shoot all of us” — says one Passenger Pigeon to another.
They don’t have to shoot all of you. All they have to do is shoot enough of you.
Y’know, it’s almost like a birthday present the Air Force gave itself for its 72nd birthday.
Nevada loves them tourist dollars. Probably a good time to convert your Limo into a hearse.
Backhoe operators are heading that way. (cleanup on aisle 51)
I like how “Rural Nevada” is such a nice, specific location to plug into your GPS.
Twenty years from now, we’ll have reports that sound like Japanese soldiers being told that WWII is over.
Laugh at these people if you will but more of them showed up for this event than ever showed for any of NY Mayor Di Blasio’s events.
“Mr. de Blasio’s polls: Zero-Point-Zero.”
“Mr. de Blasio has no poll point average.”
But he keeps all campaign contributions, to do with as he pleases.
