Supposedly the Pentagon is getting close to releasing items, but I wouldn’t hold any breath to that

Thanks for the recommendation. I just follow what you guys post about the topic, so causal interest would be how I rate myself on this topic.
There's a sign slapped on the side of Pluto that says, "go back....idiot inhabitants beyond this point"
As expected the Pentagon released a bunch of very fuzzy videos that they are nonclassified, but nothing really more exciting as expected

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Synthwave Saturday" so here's a new track from The Midnight Hope you enjoy.
The hits just keep coming this week! Returned to my Valobra-era TAOS shave soap. Wonderful lather built with the Shore Shave synth for three passes with the Henson AL13 and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, Layrite No.9 aftershave splash & CBL Barber Powder.
BBS bliss!!
Haven't used the Henson for quite a while. I felt that I never really got the hang of using it. Always seemed too mild and required a lot of buffing to get the desired results. Today was no different. The results however were fantastic. After so much buffing I expected a lot of irritation but that wasn't the case. I may keep using it for a while.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Chill day at the house planned. Gas is ridiculous and everything's so expensive now. May go work on some songs in my studio for a while. Later the wife and I will chase each other naked around the house.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Some Sci-Fi ambience for your Sunday. Hope you enjoy.
Another fantastic shave this morning! Returned to CBL Premium Shave Soap and the second of the Dave & Chris collabs, "Spaghetti Western" shave soap and tonic. Wonderful scent! Kind of a "desert southwest meets AdP Colonia". Wonderful scent now that the temps have gotten warmer. Phenomenal lather built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Henson AL13 and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave tonic & CBL Barber Powder.
BBS bliss!!
Continuing on with the Henson. Today I popped in a fresh Kai. Felt harsh against the face, but that's par for the course with their blades. Seems to take two or three sessions for it to finally smooth out. Again, a lot of buffing had me expecting lots of irritation and feedback from the alum. There was some but not bad.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Not much to report. No chasing each other around the house last night. We just cuddled in bed and watched a movie.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Kicking off the workweek with one from English rockers, Haken. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning! Returned to RazoRock and their excellent Floid Blue homage, "Blue Label" shave soap and splash. Wonderful scent with incredible lather built with the RajonCajon synth for three passes with the Henson AL13 and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, RazoRock Blue Barbershop aftershave splash, CBL Barber Powder & Mont Blanc "Presence" EdT.
BBS bliss!!
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Two steps out the door and I had already spilled coffee on myself.. Hope this isn't gonna be one of those days..

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Sticking with Haken today. What an incredible band! Hope you enjoy.
Phenomenal shave this morning! Returned to Macduffs Soap Co. and their excellent "Aspen Parkland" shave soap. No scent but it makes a lather slicker than whale snot! Three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, Ogallala Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns aftershave splash, CBL Barber Powder & Murray & Lanman Peruvian Florida Water to top everything off..
BBS bliss!!
Yeah, had to return to the Karve. The shaves are wonderfully smooth with it. Haven't used a Macduffs soap in a long time and I had forgotten that a little goes a long way. Loaded the brush more than I should have and easily had enough lather for 5 to 6 passes.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Better start to the morning today. Hope yours is going great as well.

Back to the UFO / UAP topic. If you're interested in learning who within the government (people, officials, organizations and entities both governmental and private) is most deeply tied to the UFO / UAP phenomenon, with emphasis on recovery / back-engineering and exploitation of UFP / UAP / TUO* materials, check out UAP Gerb's YouTube channel. Be warned though, because of the incredibly meticulous and thorough research he does, it's like drinking from a fire hose.

Here's a FANTASTIC deep-dive presentation focusing on how unelected career bureaucrats / "people you've never heard of" / "spooks" within the government and intel department architectures can keep this information hidden except for a few high level individuals, while bypassing even the president and avoiding Congressional oversight and accountability.
