The Pentagon has found itself at the center of controversy as mysterious drones continue to invade sensitive areas across the United States, including military bases. This situation has raised serious concerns about national security and the competency of our leadership. Last week, a series of unexplained drone sightings were reported over New Jersey, spanning at least 12 counties. This prompted local mayors to reach out to the governor for urgent answers.
These incidents have sparked fears that a foreign adversary might be behind these intrusions. Representative Jeff Van Drew from New Jersey made a startling claim on Wednesday, suggesting that Iran could be responsible. He stated he had credible sources indicating that Iran launched a mothership carrying these drones off the east coast of the United States about a month ago.

The problem isn’t confined to New Jersey alone. Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently shared his own unsettling experience, revealing that he had seen several drones flying over his residence in recent days. Additionally, there have been confirmed sightings over U.S. military bases, further intensifying public anxiety.
Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital). I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.

The Department of Defense’s response—or lack thereof—to these alarming developments has only fueled frustration and confusion among citizens. On Friday, their attempt to communicate via a so-called “test” message on their website backfired spectacularly when it appeared as complete gibberish.
Check it out:
This bizarre message quickly became fodder for social media users who reacted with sharp criticism and humor, questioning whether President Joe Biden himself had somehow managed to hack into the system. The online responses ranged from humorous jabs at potential technical mishaps involving high-ranking officials to more serious concerns about cybersecurity breaches.
Are they letting Joe Biden play with the computers again?

Despite the gravity of the situation, many commenters couldn’t resist poking fun at what seemed like an embarrassing blunder by those entrusted with national defense responsibilities.
I'm definitely not feeling confident in this government.
