Only one day after being freed from jail for carrying an illegal knife, a guy was apprehended in Queens following a subway slashing rampage in which two individuals were cut, one in the face.
On Friday and Saturday, Donny Ubiera, 32, randomly attacked passengers on a Flushing-to-Times Square 7-line subway train.
One victim was stabbed in the face, while the other sustained a neck injury.
Ubiera had only been released from jail the day before for allegedly refusing to put a knife away in front of cops when asked. He first tried to scare them by brandishing his weapon.
However, Clinton ended up revealing that, while the alien hunt was a disappointment, the base was used as a research and test ground for stealth aircraft.
‘I got to find out how we’re going to deal with this, because [Area 51] is where we do a lot our invisibility research in terms of technology, like how do we fly airplanes that aren’t pick up by radar and all that,’ he said. ‘So that’s why they’re so secretive.’
He also revealed that he and his wife, former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, visited the largest telescope in the world, the Keck telescope, in Hawaii in 2018.
And although he revealed there were ‘no aliens that I know [of]’ at Area 51, scientists working on the telescope told the presidential couple that argued that the chance of other life in the universe was between 85 to 95 percent.
‘In other words, it’s very unlikely that there is not other life,’ he told Cordon. ‘There’s a lot of mysteries out there, which is why I think we should take good care of this planet. I think we ought to hang onto it if we can.
‘But I also think it should keep us humble. There’s a lot of things we don’t know.’
In addition, both Clintons suggested that American democracy is teetering on the edge of existence in a pair of separate interviews this week.
The pair both said the government as we know it is at risk after the third January 6 committee hearing and a new poll saying a majority of both Democrats and Republicans believe America will ‘cease to exist’ as a democracy.
The former president also told Corden that he fears the United States could ‘completely lose our constitutional democracy.’
In an interview with the Financial Times published less than 48 hours later on Friday, Hillary presented a similarly gloomy image.
According to reporter Edward Luce, the Democrats “seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by boosting activist causes, most notably the transgender debate, that are only significant to a small minority.”
‘We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window.’
‘Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.
Corden asked Clinton how he stays ‘so positive in what has been a very, very dark few years,’ without mentioning Donald Trump by name.
The Democrat admitted it was ‘impossible to be pessimistic about the future’ while he was watching his grandchildren growing up, but went on to paint a bleak picture of America’s future – just hours after the third hearing from the January 6 committee hearing.
‘I actually think there’s a fair chance that we could completely lose our constitutional democracy for a couple of decades if we keep making — if we make bad decisions, Clinton added.
‘I’m not naïve about this. I’ve been in a lot of fights. I’ve lost some, won a bunch. I’ve been elated and heartbroken,’ he continued.
‘But I’ve never before been as worried about the structure of our democratic form of government,’ he added.
At her lunch with the Financial Times, Hillary was also asked about the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
‘If you go down the rabbit hole of far right intellectuals, you see that birth control, gay marriage — all of it is at risk,’ she said.
Then referencing the The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood, she discussed what the Christian ‘endgame’ is and referenced how the future could mimic the hit Hulu show.
‘The level of insidious rulemaking to further oppress women almost knows no end,’ Clinton says. ‘You look at this and how could you not but think that Margaret Atwood was a prophet? She’s not just a brilliant writer, she was a prophet.’
Their interviews came after a Yahoo News/YouGov poll released on Wednesday that found that 55 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of Republicans believe the same thing, indicating a shocking level of pessimism about the country’s future.
In addition, the poll indicated that a majority of Republicans (52%) believe “there will be a civil war in the United States in [their] lifetime,” while half of independents (50%) and a plurality of Democrats (46%) believe the same.
The study, which polled 1,541 respondents between June 10 (the day of the first hearing on January 6th) and June 13 (the day of the second hearing), also revealed that Americans have mostly given up on one another.
Members of both parties chose derogatory terms to describe the person on the other side of the political divide.
When asked which term best ‘describes most individuals on the other side of the political aisle from you,’ a majority of Republicans chose ‘out of touch with reality’ (30%), a ‘danger to America’ (25%), ‘immoral’ (8%), and a ‘threat to me personally’ (4%) to describe Democrats.
Few people chose ‘well-intentioned’ (4 percent) or ‘not that dissimilar to me’ (6 percent).
Democrats felt the same about Republicans, using phrases such ‘out of touch with reality’ (27 percent), a ‘threat to America’ (23 percent), ‘immoral’ (7 percent) and a ‘threat to me personally’ (4 percent) to describe them.
Very few used words like ‘well-meaning’ (7 percent) or ‘not that different from me’ (5 percent).
