US military used laser to take down Border Protection drone, lawmakers say

The U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone, members of Congress said Thursday, and the Federal Aviation Administration responded by closing more airspace near El Paso, Texas.

It’s not clear why the laser was deployed but it’s the second time in two weeks that one has been fired in the area. The military is required to formally notify the FAA anytime it takes any counter-drone action inside U.S. airspace.

The Trumpstein Files:

Here’s a thought for James Comer.There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.You know, just to see what she knows.

  • The core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.8%, more than the 0.6% gain in December and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 0.3%.
  • On an all-items basis, headline PPI rose 0.5%, also above the forecast for 0.3% and 0.1 percentage point more than the prior month.
  • For the full year, core wholesale prices accelerated 3.6%, while the headline index posted a 2.9% gain.

Wholesale prices rose at a faster-than-expected pace in January, countering hopes that inflation was easing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

The Fascist Felon and Possible Pedophile and His Brownshirts:

“Patriotism is Spreading…” FASCISM is What is Spreading, along with their Bullshit:

“Patriotism is spreading. For example, you said TV networks should start each day with the Pledge of Allegiance” is bonkers.

The Couchfucker Lies as Much as His Boss:

Vance is LYING. "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1) signed by Trump on 4 July 2025, introduced major Medicaid funding cuts – est. at ~ billion to over billion over a decade, significantly threatening financial stability of rural hospitals – linked to potential closures of over 300 rural hospitals.
