What could it be? It's not the massive insect invasion in Las Vegas; those are grasshoppers that haven't mutated into their locust form, so they aren't stripping the palm trees or anything else. They're just a nuisance, brought on by unusually heavy rains in the region, and soon they'll move on.
No, it's something else. Let me see if Drudge has spotted anything; he's the global village doomsayer. [taptaptap] Here's a headline at Drudge:
'RODENT INFESTED MESS'
Tell us something we don't already know, Mr Trump. But that's not a disturbance in the Force; that's Democratic Party control of American big cities.
Now what's this?:
MYSTERY: Snake-like UFOs seen across USA...
Space Force?
Just the usual doom and gloom at Drudge today. Let's check Sputnik. Oooh. Cool pix:
A huge space rock with the surprisingly positive name 2019 OK that whizzed by the other day has been likened to other near-Earth incidents that are already part of history – the Tunguska event in Siberia in 1908, and the Chelyabinsk meteor of 2013. There were no confirmed fatalities, but the effects could be felt well beyond the atmospheric blast.
It appears that a large asteroid just snuck up in us, and astronomers were hardly aware of it. [...]Well, that could qualify as a disturbance in the Force but if I sensed the flyby only today, my Disturbance Sensor needs adjustment.
All right I might as well throw in the towel and see what FARS has dug up today:
Afghan Vice President: Saudi Arabia Promoting Wahhabism in Afghanistan's Training Centers
The Saudis will never give up; they'll never change, and with the Soviets long gone from Afghanistan, the excuse 'The Americans Made Us Do It' has run out of steam. But I'm not sure that Vice President's statement, upsetting as it is, rises to the level of a new Disturbance in the Force, and besides, what the Saudis are up to in Afghanistan is not new or even recent.
What else is FARS reporting today?
Official: ISIL Terrorists Target Iraqi Forces with Advanced US-Made Weapons. Check.
