Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I would maybe have agreed with you before the removal of sections from the Schumer UAP amendment.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, nor do I believe there's enough evidence to say alien stuff is real, but after this amendment, all bets are off.
The most important part of the amendment that was removed by house Republicans was the eminent domain clause. It stated that the federal government must exercise eminent domain over non human technologies or biological evidence.
There is absolutely no reason to remove that unless we have alien stuff, or simply severe corruption in the pentagon/military/private defense contractors, etc
I could honestly go either way. Grusch went under oath with his outlandish claims. If he's lying, it needs to be proven so he can go to prison forever. If the people he investigated who told him "alien stuff", they need to be found and investigated so they can go to prison.
If there are groups in the pentagon/military/private defense contractors who are taking tax funding and just saying "alien stuff" and aren't required to disclose classified programs to elected officials or the executive branch, that is unacceptable.
We need answers no matter what. Anyone who says this is unimportant because it's silly conspiracy theory nonsense is simply wrong.
its either aLiEnS or what our entire economic system is built on
gee thats a tough one
Sorry dude, but you are already living in conspiracy theory land.
alright then.
