Donald J. Trump has repeatedly accused what he calls the “Deep State” of working against him during his first presidency, claiming it undermined his ability to govern. He's declared his intention to rip out the so-called Deep State, roots and all, and now, as president-elect, love him or hate him, Trump will have his opportunity. However, if Trump truly wants to address the underlying power structure that stands between elected officials and the public, he might be looking at the wrong target.

In Yemen, the Houthi terror group has proven to be a persistent thorn in the side of U.S. military operations. Since capturing Yemen's capital, Sanaa, in 2014, the Houthis, armed and funded by Iran, have left their mark with a staggering capability: shooting down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones. These high-tech drones, capable of flying at altitudes of 50,000 feet and costing $30 million apiece, have fallen victim to Houthi surface-to-air missiles more than 10 times in recent years. That's a loss of over $300 million in military assets.

The U.S. House and Senate have finalized the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025, with the president expected to sign it soon. As anticipated, the NDAA does

Transparency should be a cornerstone of government accountability, but the executive branch's handling of recent drone incursions over U.S. military bases and civilian populations raises serious questions. We've been told these aerial phenomena are neither assets of a foreign adversary nor U.S. military technology. Yet, astonishingly, the government claims it does not know where they come from, who controls them, or where they go while simultaneously insisting they are not a national security threat. This narrative defies logic and undermines public trust.

When it comes to uncovering what the executive branch knows about non-human intelligence and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), Congress appears to have inadvertently sidelined itself. Despite widespread public interest, numerous testimonies, and growing evidence of deep secrecy within the federal government, Congress has failed to pass meaningful UAP transparency legislation. The Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act was left on the cutting room floor for the second consecutive year.

The topic of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) has moved from the fringes to the halls of Congress in recent years. With whistleblowers like David Grusch alleging crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs operated in secret by departments and agencies of the executive branch involving non-human intelligence, the need for government transparency has never been more urgent. That's what makes a Congressional “Select Committee on UAP” so critical. Barring direct action by the incoming Trump Administration or a catastrophic disclosure of some sort, a focused, bipartisan select committee to investigate the issue comprehensively may be the only way to achieve truth and transparency.
