Whatever you think of him, Donald Trump has a genius for distraction. Conspiracy theorists were quick to suggest that he launched the strikes on Iran to steer the conversation away from the Epstein files. When a would-be assassin tried to break into the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, online sleuths insisted it was staged to change the conversation from the price of gas (The Swamp was there, BTW, and we don’t think it was a stunt) … (or do we?)
So, when the Pentagon suddenly dumped a pile of previously unclassified UFO files on an unsuspecting public on Friday morning, what were we to think? That an increasingly alienated president decided to enlist the help of extraterrestrial illegal aliens? The files are, at least, more believable than the excuses of most of the high rollers named in the Epstein files. And way less shocking to read.
