    Actually, the Fed’s actual plan is mentioned in panel 1 and 2. Hence the media preoccupation with aliens, saucers, videos, etc. in the last year. We’re all being marinated for the eventual red carpet reveal!!

    She will need some money from one of those tech billionaires, and they’re sure as certain not going to part with their money.

    Ah, how the English language (American version at least) evolves! It used to be that a “brat” was a spoiled annoying child who commonly misbehaved. Now the word has morphed into reference to someone (age unspecified) who’s “confidently rebellious, unapologetically bold,and playfully defiant” — per Dictionary.com — and yes, I had to look it up because I’m crustily stuck in the 20th century!

    This is basically the strategy found in “Childhood’s End.”

    A millennia ago, “Wyrd” was a pagan concept of fate, almost godlike. Now “weird” means strange with a connotation of undesirable.

    American IQ test scores have dropped during a recent 13-year period, a remarkable finding that runs counter to the well-established trend of increasing IQ scores throughout much of the 20th century. – Forbes 3/23/23

    I’m not saying MAGAt stupidity is a bigger threat than an alien invasion but………wait. Yes I am.

    Speaking of counterintuitive, I hypothesize that Donald J. Trump may be way more wily than we’re giving him credit for. Evidence for this is that here in 2024 he’s going far out of his way to alienate even more people than usual, so he’ll lose his re-election bid. You’re probably wondering how that indicates his subtle cleverness. Hear me out.

     (1) He knows from his awful first experience that being president means having to actually work, something he’s constitutionally not suited for and horribly averse to.

     (2) If he loses again, he’ll have a delicious opportunity to continue grifting off of the terrible injustice of it all for the rest of his life. Again, all gain for no work.

     (3) He’ll spend all of that time as the object of sympathy and adulation by his adoring sympathizers, the sexiest of whom may well aspire to being Trophy Wife #4 and can hardly wait to show him how sincere they are about it.

    A brat is a brat, but Lars is neither — run, do not walk, in the opposite direction!

    Maybe a “whispering campaign” on the Internet to start with. Something like: they’re not Space Nazis.

    I believe that if Lars landed on the White House lawn, it would most definitely make headlines around the world.I believe most people would accept the concept of other beings living on other planets and would actually be very interested in learning about them and their culture, History , etc. that knowledge might just help us in our own development. Really can’t hurt. If it’s a fact better we know it sooner than later …..

    While Haitians are eating their neighbor’s cats and dogs, having an extraterrestrial around would give tRump and Vance a new venue to fear peddle. “They are eating our neighbors!”

    “I don’t see a problem with it.” Really, Lars? Even before the price tag was announced, the intelligent response would be “Forget it.”

    I wouldn’t be surprised if aliens had been mingling with us for years, hanging out at comicons and so forth. And possibly in some of my classes…

    Nah, you just need a Bot to repost it 175,00 times and it’ll be right up there with the all time Face Book greats, you know, like Hillary running a sex trade in the basement of a pizza parlor! Some people will believe anything, Sad ! ;-)
