(Parody) U.S. launches American astronauts into space and receives visitors from another world

[Disclaimer: This article is a parody story. While some events in this article are actually taking place, it is written for comedy purposes and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.] 


On Saturday, a joint NASA/SpaceX mission launched two American astronauts from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

It is the first time American astronauts were sent into space from American soil since 2011.

The space flight didn’t go unnoticed, both on Earth and in outer space.

President Donald Trump and the United States were greeted by aliens from the planet Vulcan.

The alien craft landed at Kennedy Space Center yesterday night, whose interstellar occupants used a weird hand gesture as a greeting.

“Live long and prosper,” the head Vulcan said in a solemn tone without any emotion to the American humans, a solemn look on his face. “We’ve been monitoring your progress. This flight is the first step your country and your planet will take not just for traveling to your Moon and Mars, but also space travel outside your Solar System.

President Trump greeted the extraterrestrial visitors while maintaining America’s strength as a country and our strengthened role in space.

“It’s great to have you Vulcans here,” Trump said in a tweet. “But I just want you to know that my administration and I are committed to putting America first when it comes to our way of life and space exploration.”

Democrats and the Mainstream Media accused President Trump and his campaign of colluding with the Vulcans to win the 2020 Election.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces that the Democrat-controlled Congress will begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump for supporting the renewed U.S. space travel program.

Twitter censored President Trump’s pro-American and pro-space exploration tweets, claiming they are misleading.

However, Twitter hasn’t censored tweets from Democrats condemning the NASA/SpaceX flight and future American space travel, particularly from Joe Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee who will face Trump in November.

Biden tweeted a video clip that showed a trapped astronaut on Mars.

“President Trump is dead wrong about America’s role in space,” Biden said in the tweet. “We shouldn’t focus on launching rockets from American soil. We should work with the Chinese to rescue Astronaut Mark Watney from Mars.”

Critics quickly pointed out that the video clip was taken from Director Ridley Scott’s “The Martian,” a film starring Matt Damon as Mark Watney.

Biden Campaign aides were obviously standing offscreen to coach Biden during a live video chat with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, but Biden doubled down on his tweet before the video started glitching and froze up on Biden's end. 

At the time this article was published, the Biden tweet was still up on Twitter and didn’t have a “fact-check” label attached to it.

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...

Life and Persecution: Some so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated

(This article was originally published on January 20, 2018) The Roman Catholic Church has seen its share of good and bad times. Yet the Catholic Church has survived for over 2,000 years, from the persecution by the Roman Empire to the rise and fall of Communism.  Yesterday, January 19, young Catholic men and women across the United States joined tens of thousands of other young adults in the 45th March for Life. Even those who were unable to march continue to support the pro-life cause and live their Catholic faith everyday of their lives. All of these men and women—Catholics, Christians, and non-Christians alike—showed our country that there are plenty of Millennials stand up for the unborn and want to end legalized abortion in the United States. Catholics should be proud of their heritage as Catholics and to call themselves Catholic. They are part of the majority of lay people who really do their best to live and practice their Catholic faith. But ...
