🎬WITHOUT WARNING (1994) | FULL FILM
Here's an alien contact film that you've probably never heard of.
An end-of-the-world film made to look like the news you’d be watching while it happened.
CBS originally aired Without Warning on October 30, 1994 (and I had just turned 5 years old just over a week earlier.) A television program is interrupted by reports that three objects have struck the United States, France, and China. The initial explanation is an asteroid breaking apart, but the eyewitness accounts and scientific assessments begin to suggest something far more troubling.
Then more objects are detected heading toward Earth.
This is a wonderfully unsettling use of the “we interrupt this program” format, very much in the spirit of War of the Worlds. Anchors and experts try to make sense of the situation while you’re left watching for the next update, wondering how much worse the news can get, and whether any of this is happening by chance.
Sharing the film here for anyone who missed it, or hasn’t seen it in years. Settle in and give it a chance to build. I’d avoid reading much more about the story before watching. They did a really nice job with this honestly, and there are a few actors you'll recognize. Enjoy. #ufox #ufotwitter

Ana Victoria Espino De Santiago has made history as the world’s first lawyer with Down syndrome after earning her law degree from BUAZ in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Born in 1999, she’s defied odds through hard work and family support—excelling in both academics and art.
Her mission is rooted in human rights, and she now aims to become a local deputy to push for greater inclusion.
Her story is a powerful reminder that no barrier is too big with perseverance.

In the videos both aircraft can clearly be seen flying towards each other, then exploding and falling into the river after the fatal explosion.

If someone in your company or organization posted the vacuous tripe the Demoncratic candidate for president sends out on social media, would you keep her on staff?
Would you promote her to CEO? I don't think so.
A President has to have more than a convenient skin color and lady bits...

Remembering Luke Kelly, today,on his 40th anniversary.
This was Luke Kellys last performance. His voice and memory had deteriorated badly but he belted out this song with as much heart as possible.
The opening & closing verse:
"I must away now, I can no longer tarry,
This morning's tempest I have to cross,
I must be guided without a stumble,
Into the arms I love the most"
If you listen carefully as the last note dies out, you'll hear Ronnie Drew softly say..."Good man Luke".
