Hey guys, Rosie O'Donnell would like to alert everyone to the fact that we might actually be under alien attack

Story by Queerty • Yesterday 5:00 PM

 

At least three UFOs have been shot down from North American skies in recent days (in addition to that Chinese spy balloon) and nobody seems to give AF. Except for Rosie O’Donnell.

 

On Monday, the funny lady posted a TikTok alerting to people of the severity of the situation.

 

“OK, what’s the deal with the UFOs?” she said. “The first one was a ‘weather balloon.’ Do we still use weather balloons? We shot that down and then there was another one. And now there’s more. And everyone’s just acting like it’s a normal Monday.”

 

“Let’s put things into perspective here. We’re being contacted by extraterrestrials. Isn’t this bigger news? Shouldn’t everyone have off the day at school or something? Nobody go to work. Let’s figure out what to do.”

 

She continued, “I don’t get it. I mean, we’re shooting down what they say very well could be and is alien-related spacecraft. Hello?”

 

“It’s happening. It’s really happening. And no one seems to give a sh*t be me.”

 

Rosie’s not wrong. Few people seem to give a sht, but can you really blame them? We’ve all been through a LOT these last few years–a global pandemic, social unrest, a failed government coup, economic inflation, etc., etc., etc.. There are only so many fcks people can give before eventually they surrender themselves to aliens. Apparently, we’ve reached that point.

 

According to the White House, there is “no indication” of extraterrestrial activity related to the alarming number of aerial intruders shot down from the sky over the last week and a half.

 

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters this week, “I just want to make sure we address this from the White House. I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no, again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns.”

 

But Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, who heads U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, had a slightly different take when asked if aliens might be preparing to invade the planet.

 

“I haven’t ruled anything out at this point,” he told reporters over the weekend. “We continue to assess.”

Pete Buttigieg blames Trump for Ohio train derailment amid criticism: 'We’re constrained'

Story by Thomas Catenacci • Yesterday 2:41 PM

 

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg shifted part of the blame for the recent derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Ohio on the Trump administration reversing a little-known safety rule.

 

Buttigieg noted Tuesday evening that his agency had taken a series of steps to improve rail safety through "historic investments," but said it was constrained by the Trump administration action. In 2018, the Department of Transportation (DOT) withdrew a rule proposed three years earlier requiring trains carrying certain dangerous chemicals to utilize electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, saying the technology's benefits were inconclusive.

 

"In the wake of the East Palestine derailment and its impact on hundreds of residents, we’re seeing lots of newfound or renewed (and welcome) interest in our work on rail safety, so I wanted to share more about what we’ve been doing in this area," Buttigieg tweeted.

 

"We’re constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation (like the braking rule withdrawn by the Trump administration in 2018 because of a law passed by Congress in 2015), but we are using the powers we do have to keep people safe," the transportation secretary added. "And of course, I’m always ready to work with Congress on furthering (or in some cases, restoring) our capacity to address rail safety issues."

The DOT didn't respond to a request for comment Wednesday asking why Buttigieg hasn't moved to reinstate the rule.

 

Buttigieg, meanwhile, has been blasted for his slow response to the derailment. He waited 10 days to address the situation, promising to "use all relevant authorities to ensure accountability and continue to support safety."

 

The Trump administration rule change Buttigieg partially blamed came after Congress passed and former President Barack Obama signed the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act in December 2015.

 

The legislation established a new process, including independent study and testing, for the DOT to use in developing an updated regulatory impact analysis (RIA) related to the ECP brake provision, according to the Government Publishing Office.

 

"The final updated RIA shows that the ECP brake requirements are not expected to be cost beneficial under any scenario assessed," the DOT stated in 2018.
