Reports of giant drones buzzing through the skies above New Jersey and other states along the Eastern Seaboard have sparked outrage on the ground. Politicians claim ignorance about their origin, but someone knows. Someone must know who these drones belong to and where they’re coming from.

As the saying goes in Hollywood, “Nobody knows anything.” It seems that applies to politics, too—at least officially.

No one at the White House knows anything about the drones. But that’s hardly surprising given President Joe Biden’s unfitness and Vice President Kamala Harris’ incompetence. No Democrat seems to know why these drones are invading our airspace, nor whether Iran has a mothership in the Atlantic. Are the drones above New Jersey a threat, or merely a nuisance? The lack of answers is unsettling.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey says Iran launched a mothership off the East Coast, purchasing drones from China. If true, this raises the stakes significantly. Even if he’s mistaken, the possibility that such an event could happen demonstrates alarming vulnerabilities. The drones are more than flying machines—they’re symbols of how easily America’s defenses can be breached. Whether by state or non-state actors, the skies over America are not as secure as we’d like to think.

Listen to Robert Wheeler, assistant director of the FBI’s critical incident response group. He claims the bureau doesn’t know what the drones are. Yet skepticism abounds. Does the FBI really not know, or are they withholding information? Perhaps if the FBI prioritized public safety with the same fervor it dedicates to high-profile political investigations, it might have more answers. One can only hope for a future FBI led by someone like Kash Patel, with a focus on effectiveness and transparency.

Congressman August Pfluger of Texas doesn’t mince words: “The threat is real.” Drones aren’t just appearing over New Jersey. They’ve been spotted over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, government buildings in California, and even President Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. These incidents are too widespread and frequent to dismiss as inconsequential. They signify a troubling pattern.

The implications are staggering. If a hostile actor wanted to position drones over sensitive locations, it seems they could. This revelation should shake our complacency. It doesn’t take a trillion-dollar defense budget or a law enforcement career to recognize the breaches in our national security. The skies, like our borders, appear alarmingly porous.

President Trump’s past warnings about Iran feel prescient. Whether or not Iran is behind these drones, its intentions—and those of its allies—remain clear. Iran’s drone program has been used against Israel and could easily target the U.S. The solution, Trump argues, is simple: Israel should neutralize Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and America should cease funding a regime that has proven hostile.

In the end, whether these drones are Iranian, Chinese, or the work of another actor is almost beside the point. They’ve already succeeded in creating psychological terror. Without firing a shot, the drones have delivered a powerful message: America is vulnerable.

It’s time to take action. Safeguard the skies. Control the borders. Protect our airspace. Only then can we begin to reclaim the security that feels increasingly out of reach.
