The fools running the Chernobyl reactor were "running an experiment", too. It didn't work out. And neither did the Spanish experiment with too many windmills and too many solar panels. And not that it is NOT POSSIBLE to restart a grid from fully down, known as a 'black start' with only windmills or solar panels. NOT technically possible, because of their design. They use 'phase following' inverter designs and they MUST follow an existing, functional power grid to be added in. Apparently Spain had to beg for nuke power from France to get their grid back started.

Many pro-Israel people I know, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are deeply worried about Trump’s current Middle East positions. He’s marginalizing Israel in negotiations with Saudi Arabia, accepting on the government’s behalf a luxury plane from double-dealing Qatar, and handing money to the goons in Syria. At the same time, he’s seemingly freezing out Israel, to the great consternation of Israel and its supporters. So, what gives? Having read Charles Lipson’s superb analysis of the problems in dealing with an almost nuclear Iran, and how Biden created this monster, I suspect that “what gives” may be Trump trying an out-of-the-box approach to isolating Iran long enough for his economic policies

Just two days ago, two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, in what has been described as an antisemitic attack. The alleged killer of Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, who reportedly were "just days away" from becoming engaged, has been identified as Chicago native and Party for Socialism and Liberation member Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly yelled "free, free Palestine!" as he was being handcuffed, detained and led away by police officers. The incendiary words Rodriguez was said to have used both that night

During a blistering Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was visibly floored after Energy Secretary Christopher Wright dropped a bombshell: the Department of Energy handed out a staggering $93 billion in loans and commitments during the final 76 days of the Biden administration, a figure that more than doubled the loan total from the previous 15 years combined. Kennedy, in classic fashion, drilled in with precision. “The 76-day period you’re talking about, that’s the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right?” “That is correct,” Wright confirmed. Kennedy didn’t mince words

America isn't a democracy but a constitutional republic designed to limit majority rule and protect individual rights. This distortion enables narratives that label dissent as dangerous, especially in portraying Trump as a "threat to democracy" -- a claim pushed by institutions caught spreading falsehoods about him. What appears as consensus is actually assigned opinion enforced by media and political power, as "conspiracy theories used to silence dissent are proving to be true. What follows is not just a list of lies -- it’s a pattern of systemic deception that reveals where the real threat lies. The Concealment of President Biden’s Cognitive Decline: A Betrayal of Voters

Judge James Ho is a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He has filed an unhappy concurrence in AARP v. Trump. The Fifth Circuit panel is jumping through hoops detailed by the Supreme Court in a per curiam (no author specified) order on application for injunction here, with Justices Alito and Thomas dissenting. The per curiam opinion reads to me like the work of Chief Justice Roberts. AARP appears to be a pseudonym for a member of Tren de Aragua. The real AARP has posted a statement clarifying that it is not a party to the litigation. AARP wants it known that it is
Democrats’ Confederacy of Dunces 7 replies

Three hundred years ago, the remarkable satirist Jonathan Swift wrote, “When a true Genius appears in the World, you may know him by this infallible Sign; that the Dunces are all in Confederacy against him.” Now, you might not be President Trump’s biggest fan. Perhaps you are glad that he has returned to the White House but look forward to one of his capable lieutenants succeeding him in four years. But I would argue that never has a larger collection of absolute idiots assembled to oppose an American leader, and for that reason alone, Donald J. Trump is probably a genius. (And a very stable one at that!)

CNN host Jake Tapper has been under fire since announcing he was writing a book about President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and the extensive "cover-up" to convince American voters they were too dumb to see what was happening with their own two eyes. Many have pointed out that Tapper, his network, and the mainstream media in general were active participants in the scandal. They neglected to report on Biden's decline, allowed themselves to be cowed into submission by White House aides, and attacked anyone who suggested the president wasn't fit to serve, which he was not.

Former FBI boss James Comey posted an image of seashells forming “86 47” but quickly claimed, “I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.” The Secret Service has good reason to take it as a threat. “86” is code for “get rid of,” quite possibly in a permanent way. Comey knew exactly what he was doing, Trump said, and the “dirty cop” was calling for the assassination of the president. Comey was aware that Trump had survived two assassination attempts and was lobbying for another.

We wish former President Biden the best. I pray for his recovery. Honestly, I hope that Jill plans to go to confession and admit that she loved the title of First Lady a lot more than being a devoted wife. My guess is there a lot of ladies in the country who can't believe her disregard for Joe Biden's health and well-being. Again, she loved the title and staff. And now there is prostate cancer: The 82-year-old former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month -- with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday.

A memorial bust of American singer Jim Morrison that was stolen from his grave 37 years ago has been found by chance, according to French police. The statue of The Doors frontman was recovered in Paris during an investigation conducted by its financial and anti-corruption arm that was unrelated to the original theft, it said in a post on Instagram. Morrison's grave has long been a site for fans of the rock band to pay their respects in an unusual way - graffiti sprawls across neighbouring gravestones in the poet's corner of the famous Père-Lachaise cemetery, which also houses the tombs of Edith Piaf and Oscar Wilde.

Ernst said, “[T]he federal government, through GSA credit cards, has 4.6 million active credit cards and accounts…we have a little less than half that number in federal employees.” She added that “a lot” of card usage occurs during federal holidays and on days like New Year’s Eve at “nightclubs, bars” and on “Sunday afternoons, okay, a big UFC fight or something pay-per-view.” And there are also cash withdrawals at casino ATMs. Ernst further stated that about 500,000 cards have now been canceled.

Thursday night by a crazed antisemite. As we’ve reported, Elias Rodriguez flew in from his hometown of Chicago, ambushed Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Lynn Milgrim (26), and fired 21 rounds even as Milgrim tried to crawl away in terror. The two were reportedly set to get engaged next week. It’s an almost unimaginable crime. On Thursday, Pirro announced that Rodriguez may pay the ultimate penalty

Imagine a kindergarten talent show where every child is handed a microphone, told they’re brilliant, and encouraged to scream whatever they feel. Facts are optional, and tantrums are welcome. Now replace those toddlers with embittered semi-celebrities clinging to cultural relevance, amplify their egos with national airtime, and broadcast it five days a week. That’s The View. What once was pitched as a platform for intelligent dialogue has morphed into a bitter cocktail of rage, identity politics, and intellectual laziness. Once known for its various voices, The View has devolved into a soapbox for those who believe their outrage is a virtue.

Within just hours, like clockwork, a far-left district judge blocked DHS’s action. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama serving in Massachusetts, wrote in a two-page motion granting a temporary restraining order that Harvard “will sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties.”

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off Harvard’s enrollment of foreign students, an action the Ivy League school decried as unconstitutional retaliation for defying the White House’s political demands. In its lawsuit filed earlier Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.” “With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit. “Without
