Close Encounters Of The Second Kind?
A former military intelligence official who ran a Pentagon program analyzing unidentified flying objects (UFOs) said Monday that there is "compelling evidence" that "we may not be alone" in the universe.

AHNC Personal Trivia: I've witnessed several UFOs over the years, some I believe were U.S. experimental aircraft but others I saw, no.

One of the cartoon contributors to AHNC in the early years was Steve Bradenton (an alias), who was a retired CIA artist from the 70s to the 90s. He said he saw photographic proof and documents that UFOs and alien beings exist and the military knows it, and believes it privately, not publicly. I asked him about the Roswell Incident, Area 51, etc...he laughed and said that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Steve died several years ago ending his second career as a successful painter.

Here's one my favorite toons of Steve's

I miss you, buddy.

Legislated Silence For Congressional Sex Abuse Settlements
The Senate’s Office of Compliance on Monday rejected Sen. Tim Kaine’s (D-Va.) request for information about sexual harassment settlements in Congress, citing the Congressional Accountability Act’s confidentiality rules.

While announcing plans to trim the size of the regulatory code, President Trump today cut a red ribbon with an oversized scissors that was draped across stacks of paper. Then, because of all the regulations he repealed, the scissors fell apart, a dolphin choked on the ribbon, and the paper burst into flames.- Seth Myers

Mueller team denies accusations it 'unlawfully' obtained Trump transition emails
A spokesman for special counsel Robert Mueller has denied accusations by Trump transition lawyers that Mueller's team got unauthorized access to thousands of transition emails.

Obama Was Right About Citizens United
The landmark Citizens United case and related campaign finance laws may be facilitating Russia’s attempt to subvert U.S. democracy, the Dallas News reports.
According to an analysis of public campaign finance reports, a group of Russian-linked political donors with ties to Vladimir Putin funnel money to Donald Trump and the GOP through legal campaign contributions that have, thus far, faced little-to-no scrutiny by the federal government.

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections."

Was The Washington Post Pranked With Fake News?
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald on Sunday addressed a report that President Donald Trump’s administration had banned the CDC from using seven words or phrases in next year’s budget documents.
The terms are “fetus,” “transgender,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “evidence-based” and “science-based,” according to a story first reported on Friday in The Washington Post.
But Fitzgerald said in a series of tweets on Sunday said there are “no banned words,” while emphasizing the agency’s commitment to data-driven science.

Well, You Can Take Doug Jones Out Of Alabama BUT You Can't Take The Alabama Out Of Doug Jones
After all the celebrating last week, Democrats got a big dose of reality on Sunday, when Alabama’s newly elected senator, Doug Jones, made clear he won’t always toe the party line. “I’m going to talk to people on both sides of the aisle, try to figure out what I think is in the best interests of my state and in the country,” Jones said on CNN’s State of the Union. “I don’t think anybody should depend on, be able to count on my vote for anything.”
Jones differentiated himself from many in his party by saying he doesn’t think President Donald Trump should resign over the numerous sexual misconduct allegations against him. In fact, he thinks it’s time to stop talking about the issue.

Happy 17th birthday AHNC

Thank you all for the wonderful job you have given me.

Seventeen years ago I bought the domain name allhatnocattle.net on Dec. 14, 2000. I decided on that name after watching Gov. Ann Richards on C-SPAN describe George W. Bush as, all hat no cattle. I burst out laughing. It was too long for my preference but oh, so descriptive.

What inspired me to begin a website was my shock and dismay at Gov. Jeb Bush, who broke his oath to uphold the laws of Florida, and ran to the U.S. Supreme court to stop the vote counting in Florida. States rights, my foot. It worked and the rest is history.

And guess what, my vote in my county in Florida was never recounted in 2000.

The Republicans grabbed Florida by the -----.

I began AHNC by posting silly gifs of Jeb, Dubya, etc.
The response was mind numbing. Not only was I one of the few political websites, I was a woman. The horror! I used to get a lot of threatening emails during the Bush administration, hardly any when Obama was president and not a single one since Trump took office. I think the trolls realized their threats can be traced back to them. So now they intimidate people online on social media or in the comments section -- but not my comments section.

I'm so old I remember when George W Bush called himself a COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE . Those who were tortured disagree with that moniker.

It's the lack of empathy from "Christian" conservatives across this country that has gotten us into one avoidable mess after another from invading the wrong country for 9-11 to the current mess in Alabama where Evangelicals supported a child molester.

Using the name of God, no matter what your religion is, to spew lies and hate, is not a religious act, it is political act.

Our forefathers had it right, the separation of church and state.

9-11

By the way, I never thought George W Bush planned 9-11. My take:

The shocked look on his face when he was told about planes flying into the World Trade Center, while visiting a Florida school and his staff scrambling around in chaos.
The fact that Bush was flying all over the USA right after he left Florida. They didn't know where to go. They were scared, as they should've been.
If Bush knew about 9-11 , Karl Rove would've had Bush strut his stuff , like John Wayne, all over TV immediately, not 3 days after 9-11.

9-11 gave Republicans an enemy all Americans could fear -- terrorists -- and they took full advantage to this very day. They also made torture palatable during that time.

AHNC has tried over the years, to make the Republican message understandable through comedy. It takes a lot of work searching for humor to fill AHNC, but the truth is, that is what I'd do with or without AHNC. I need humor to mask my pain. Don't we all?

You all helped me fight cancer when I was diagnosed in 2009. I was without health insurance and made my way to Costa Rica which provided health insurance for pre-existing conditions. Your financial support made my struggle so much easier and for that I am eternally grateful. You literally saved my life. I would have died in the USA.

You all also helped me when I was falsely accused of crimes by my husband, in Florida and Costa Rica. That is one of the reasons I am a Hillary supporter, I know what it is like to be falsely accused with no evidence and had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to address those false claims.

I hope you all saw the clip of Joe Biden comforting Meghan McCain. That was so human, it brought tears to my eyes. That's the America I love.

In the years I have been online I have watched the right wing attack the military service of John McCain, John Kerry, Max Cleland and even Tammy Duckworth. And Fox News coupled with right wing radio, led the way. They tried to destroy Obama and Hillary and any Democrat they could. Very un-Christlike behavior.

The USA needs an Empathy Renaissance from the "Christian" conservatives aka Republicans. Their tax cut will harm those who need it most and help the ultra-wealthy. They're not going to change any time soon but they can be voted out of office or not voted into office at all, which happened in Alabama. Alabama!

Thank you Alabama and thank you to the Washington Post who outed Roy Moore.

America is now rejecting the sexual abuse by those in power. And women are rejoicing. We have come a long way, baby. Finally.

AHNC has had the great pleasure of servicing your humor needs. It has been my source of sanity during every nervous breakdown and panic attack I had personally or politically.

Deep curtsy, dear friends and thank you.

I will be back online Monday, December 18.

Peace and love to all.
