Here is here.  Anywhere on Earth or even in orbit around
Earth.

Throw in mysticism and all bets are off.  Such an
"encounter" would be subjective and unprovable.

If tech is involved it is far ahead of us.

Which planet would that be?  Any one of them is out of our
reach.

Provided they still use radio.  

All of which supports their superiority, which would not be
if they were dumb.

Every person in the US is here either  
legally or illegally. Those that are 
here illegally should be afraid.  
Be very afraid.  It does not matter 
how long you have been here.  It does 
not matter why you are here. It does not 
matter what you have done legally while you 
were here. It does not matter what any 
relative may have done while you were here. 
It only matters that you are here illegally. 
It may take a day, a week, a year, or longer 
but we will find you and we will deport you. 
Be prepared.

Deport them all.

All politicians are trained to lie
and make those lies sound like 
the truth.  They start with the biggest 
lie of all: Politicians are public
servants.

The Dims have an appropriate party
symbol: A jackass.

National Socialist American Workers Party
(NSAWP) formally known as the Democrat Party 

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting 
and abhorrent.
Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying.

I support:

A Constitional Amendment establishing
the Freedom of Choice.

The elimination of public expression, 
display or support of religion or 
religious positions.
