Liberals in Western nations have a long history of attempting to use the Earth's environment as their own 'raison d'existence.' Unfortunately, they sometimes screw it up by grossly exaggerating the limits of the problem. Climate change is a good example of something that might have had qualified successes if not for egregious oversights like the Palisades disaster, a direct result of left-wing incompetence. Elsewhere, @latimeralder illustrates the absurdity of the UK's net-zero boondoggle that is impoverishing low-income households across that once proud bastion of literature, science, and innovation. xitter.gq/latimeralder/status/21…
Here's yesterday's 'wind power' (oh I can't stop giggling at the name) electricity production for UK. Struggled up to nearly 3% but then settled back to a more comfortable 1%..where its stayed until now. And just think! We've 'invested' (= flushed down the lav) over £200 billion in the wind industry - enough to run the NHS for over a year - in this pathetic, pitiful flibbertigibbet of a power source The Wind Gods are laughing at us for our stupidity!

Due to the residual delays from the nationwide ground stop, the NTSB will no longer send a board member and will instead send a team of investigators by ground to the scene of the vessel collision in New Orleans. No media briefings are planned at this time. Updates on the investigation will be posted to this account and the investigation webpage: ntsb.gov/investigations/Page…
NTSB is launching a Go Team to investigate the collision of a tank vessel and a riverboat-style passenger vessel in New Orleans. The team expects to arrive tomorrow morning. Time and location of media briefings will be posted to this account once confirmed. Board Member John DeLeeuw will be spokesperson on scene.

Congratulations to the @SpaceX team on another spectacular launch. Very much appreciate how you bring the world along in high resolution. We are looking forward to some of that on-orbit Starlink capability on Artemis III. Tomorrow is a big day for the community, with a Vulcan launch and Starship's return on deck 🇺🇸

🚨 MEU DEUS DO CÉU. O Secretário do Tesouro Scott Bessent acabou de dizer "FODAM-SE OS LÍDERES IRANIANOS" e que teve que se mudar para uma base militar porque o WSJ publicou sua CASA ONLINE (1/2)

It is not replacement, it is extermination.
UK, Birmingham: 5 minutes 40 seconds of video. Not one Englishman. Not one Brit. And some still deny a replacement is happening. This is not immigration. This is replacement.

Quite a sight in Mobile Bay this morning…. That's the ex-USS Enterprise (CVN-65) — the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier — arriving under tow after an 11-day trip from Newport News, Virginia. She has no engines running; she's a dead tow, led by the tug Ocean Sky at under 8 miles per hour. She's here for her final chapter. The Big E is headed to the MARS recycling yard on the Mobile River, where she'll be dismantled and recycled over the next few years — the first commercial dismantling of a nuclear supercarrier. Her eight reactors were defueled years ago; the reactor compartments are the biggest engineering challenge of the job. She served more than 50 years, from the Cuban Missile Crisis through Vietnam and the first strikes into Afghanistan after 9/11. And here's the poignant part: she's taking the same spot at the MARS yard that the SS United States just left on Monday — the Big U went out to become a reef, and the Big E has come in to be recycled. Two legends, passing in the night. Photo from Josh Stanley

So grateful for this update: “Because of the heroic work of our first responders ALL PASSENGERS have been accounted for. This is nothing short of a miracle.”
Earlier this afternoon a tanker hit a cruise ship along the Mississippi River in New Orleans. The cruise ship took on water and eventually flipped. Because of the heroic work of our first responders ALL PASSENGERS have been accounted for. This is nothing short of a miracle. While we will continue to work through the details of this incident, one thing is clear: our first responders on the national, state, and local level saved countless lives today, and for that I and all of our country are thankful!

youtu.be/IiWsLKTC11w?is=jon4… The "Orchestrated" Narrative: Gave argues that the timing of these leaks—shortly after President Trump lost power in the midterms—suggests a coordinated effort by the U.S. national security establishment to shift toward a more hawkish stance on China (9:01-10:23). McCarthyism Parallel: The speakers draw parallels to the McCarthy era, suggesting that the current political climate in the U.S. is increasingly paranoid regarding Chinese influence, which in turn damages trust and creates a more volatile environment for international relations (14:04-14:58). Economic Risks: Gave highlights that the U.S. and China remain deeply economically integrated. He warns that if the U.S. continues to tighten restrictions on tech, China may retaliate by restricting access to essential resources like rare earths and magnets, which would significantly impact major American industries like automotive manufacturing (25:24-26:22).

Hahaha 😂
We have no indication that the FAA’s nationwide ground stop is related to any Microsoft services.

Altimeter and Atreides together hold more than $25B in assets. Elon and the founders of Uber, Shopify, Replit, and Vercel have all posted in support of Jensen’s reinstatement at @nvidia. So, this has only begun. Anti-Jensen board members will likely face escalating pressure from employees, shareholders, partners, and customers until they step down and reinstate Jensen Huang, who was after all the founder and CEO that built Nvidia into one of the most important companies in world history.
This letter was sent to Nvidia's board today. A first for @atreidesmgmt Absolutely share @altcap belief that this letter outlines minimum acceptable standards.

Replying to @SecDuffy @FAANews
We could have modernized and rebuilt our entire air traffic control infrastructure with the amount of money stolen by Somalis and other TPS third worlders.

Today’s nationwide ground stop happened because our air traffic control system is operating on DECADES-OLD, analog equipment that simply cannot compete with the demands of the 21st century.
 @FAANews is modernizing this aging infrastructure thanks to a $12.5 billion down payment secured by President Trump, but that isn't ENOUGH. @POTUS is asking Congress to give us the resources to build a state-of-the-art air traffic control system. Let’s not do a patchwork fix to a system that’s critical for every single family. It’s time for Congress to act. Give us the money to fix it. PASS THE MODERN SKIES ACT NOW.

"This is a national security risk...our air traffic control system is outdated, and it hasn't been a priority from Congress, this is what happens when Congress kicks the can down the road." @SecMullinDHS on the need to upgrade and modernize our air traffic control system.

The 2006-11-13 Friday the Thirteenth is the day that caused NORDO procedures to be added to every checkride. We also need to bring back “Mother May I” to grade schools.

While this chart is busy, it can be helpful. For example, the green horizontal line shows that when SSTs in the Niño 3.4 region max out late in the season, as they did in 2026, fewer hurricanes are likely.

The German government has made conditions so horrible in Germany that Mercedes has halted all future investment in their home country. They are planning to shut plants and relocate jobs. Energy costs are too high and unions are impossible to work with. The cost of an hour of labor in Germany is 5 times higher than locations in eastern Europe.

An English girl was sexually assaulted at school by 4 Pakistani Muslim classmates and was scared to go back to class. Her friends then organized a protest demanding the deportation of the boys and their families. All the support to these brave girls. ❤️

Burnham has achieved Net Zero! NetZero Anybody Who Matters went to listen to his 6 minutes speech But I'm sure it was worth the 70 tonnes of carbon emissions involved
Hypocrite Burnham flew to Turkey and back to give a 6 minute speech to almost nobody. He said he wanted to be a 'Climate Leader'. But there was nobody there to follow him And they had to put him on the Big Screen. So he could have done it by Zoom or Teams anyway. No doubt his 'climate leadership' will involve telling us peasants not to fly 'To Save the Climate' I detest hypocrites You? dailymail.com/news/article-1…
