Born Perfect: The Girlboss and the Death

Rey doesn’t sweat. That’s the first sign something’s wrong. Luke Skywalker staggered through deserts, lost his hand, and watched his mentors die. He began ignorant and untrained, a boy who had to be humbled before he could be strong. Every lesson cost him. Rey, though, arrives on-screen born finished, like Athena from the skull of Zeus, armed, certain, and already right. She can fight, fly, and fix anything. No apprenticeship, no scars, no descent. She isn’t becoming a hero; she’s declaring herself one. We’ve all met her, long before Disney mixed lightsabers with magic. She was the girl in school who treated advice as an insult, who corrected the teacher, who surrounded

Another Battery Catastrophe
6 replies
Wind and solar energy are both intermittent and weather-dependent, while our needs for electricity are constant. How, then, to make them viable? Batteries! What batteries? Big ones. Do such batteries exist? Not exactly.
Australia’s left-wing government has been trying to transition from coal power to wind and solar, without success. Most recently, a giant battery facility at Waratah, not yet in operation, has suffered a catastrophic failure and will be off-line indefinitely. The facility is huge:
The one-billion-dollar Waratah Super Battery is rated at 850 MW (1680 MWh) — in other words, it can deliver 850 megawatts of power for about two hours before it’s a flat battery.
Somehow, two hours doesn’t
For reasons known only to herself, former First Lady Michelle Obama has been on an extended whinefest the last few months, consistently moaning about her oh-so-awful life as a multi-millionaire and complaining about her past treatment from the press, who in reality treated her like some sort of goddess despite the fact that she is bitter, unsympathetic, and utterly entitled.
In one of her recent rants, she went after Trump’s plans to (self-finance) a White House ballroom, which would serve the nation long after he is gone from office. The horror! Like many Democrats who have been acting as if the East Wing of the People’s House
First and foremost, on this Veterans Day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and steadfast devotion of our vets; brave men and women who’ve put everything on the line to protect our freedoms. It's my sincere hope that our veterans feel and experience the gratitude they are owed, perhaps more than words can express.
As a proud son of a United States Marine and member of the Greatest Generation, who, as a 23-year-old from a town of less than 1,000, drove a tank onto the black-sand beach of Iwo Jima in what would prove to be one of the costliest battles of World War II, I will be forever grateful

Campaign Was '3D Chess' That Outmaneuvered Trump 28 replies
Kamala Harris is continuing her push toward yet another run for president, and that's leading to some awkward exchanges. As RedState reported, the failed 2024 Democrat nominee and former vice president is peddling a new book, doing her best to rewrite history in her favor. Part of that requires convincing Americans that she wasn't given a fair shot, both because of Joe Biden's late exit from the race and the dynamics surrounding President Donald Trump. Of course, that's not really the truth, is it? She's going to try, though, and that apparently includes claiming her 2024 campaign was "3D chess" in which she outmaneuvered Trump.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the subsequent behaviors on the part of a shocking number of leftists ever since have proven that the battle between good and evil rages on greater than ever in America and the world. In my life, while evil may have existed throughout society at the same levels as today, it was never this brazen.
But here we are. And by “here,” I’m talking specifically about the latest public display of pure evil that happened at the University of California at Berkeley last night when Turning Point USA (TPUSA) tried to host an event. To say Antifa tried to disrupt it

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday launched an investigation into JPMorgan over its failure to notify President Donald Trump that former Special Counsel Jack Smith was seeking Trump Media's bank records as part of the Arctic Frost probe.
Trump Media and Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes on Sunday tore into Smith and JPMorgan for its efforts to obtain the company's bank records and emphasized that the company did not exist in 2021, when the January 6 riot occurred.
Uthmeier notified JPMorgan Chase of the investigation in a letter, which also comes after the Biden administration was accused of spying on Republican senators and lawmakers as part of the Arctic Frost investigation.
Dense or Indecent?

Celebrity entitlement is rarely more stunning than when an actor publicly lectures a corporation on “fascism” while omitting any basic human decency in the same breath.
So when Star Wars actor Oscar Isaac declared he’d only work with The Walt Disney Company again if they could “figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism,” it raised a question worth asking: Are celebrities this dense, or this indecent?
Let’s pause. Disney is a publicly traded corporation with a legal obligation to its shareholders. Its executives must maximize value, which means developing programming that attracts broad audiences, protects advertisers, and safeguards the company’s market position. That’s not ideology—that’s economics.
Democrats Are Evil, Not Stupid

Democrats are the evil party, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid. In fact, I often have to remind people that they are evil, not stupid, to explain why they do the things they do. They know what they’re doing, and you should too. It explains why, after more than 6 weeks, they suddenly decided to vote to reopen the government. It wasn’t because they felt people were suffering – you don’t subscribe to a political philosophy responsible for 100 million deaths in the last century if you have concern over suffering – but because it was electoral politics, plain and simple.

Bessent's beatdown

Hypocrisy must be the mother’s milk of democratic politics. George Stephanopoulos is the highest paid anchor at ABC News. He used to shill for Bill Clinton as his senior advisor for policy and strategy and White House Communicatons Director. Now he shills for the Democratic Party as a “newsman” at ABC News. Despite his purported newsman’s role, it’s all politics. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent showed up George Stephanopoulos to be a world-class hypocrite this past Sunday on the ABC News This Week gabfest.

A young girl stands on a mountain of ice, her dress glittering like the northern lights. The world below has judged her, feared her, told her to hide what makes her different. Then comes the moment every parent remembers: she spreads her arms and sings, “No right, no wrong, no rules for me — I’m free.”
For a decade now, that line from Frozen has echoed in bedrooms and playgrounds, in sequined Elsa dresses and YouTube sing-alongs. It’s more than a song; it’s a creed. Every generation has a fairy tale that defines its moral world. For ours, it’s this one, a story in which isolation becomes empowerment, repression becomes villainy,
There has been a lot of talk about whether the narco-boats the Donald Trump administration is striking in the Caribbean Sea are, in fact, narco-boats. Most of that talk has come from Gustavo Petro, Nicolás Maduro, and their buddies on the left in the United States, like certain members of Congress and the MSM. The way they tell it, these are just humble fisherman sitting miles off shore in international waters, using these sophisticated vessels to catch a meal or earn a living.
On Friday, the Associated Press attempted to join this chorus that is aimed at making Trump look like a mean old bully by publishing an article entitled
It’s no coincidence that multimillionaire Michelle Obama is on a self-pity jag as she promotes her latest expensive coffee table memoir as her husband’s Democratic Party succumbs to its socialist fringe.
You see it everywhere. Democratic Marie Antoinettes moaning about their plight and the ingratitude of the serfs as the revolution devours their dominion.
For the former first lady, a week of softball interviews for her new $50 tome, “The Look,” has been dominated by bizarre complaints about her time in the White House with President Barack Obama.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Patel have produced to Congress a new cache of documents showing how Bill and Hillary Clinton's foundations collected money from foreign and domestic interests seeking influence -- raising fresh concerns that such evidence was kept from federal prosecutors who tried to investigate pay-to-play allegations against the first family a decade ago.

A bloody brawl broke out at a sold-out event for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA at the University of California, Berkeley — with keffiyeh-clad protesters clashing with attendees and cops in disturbing scenes.
One man could be seen with blood gushing from his face after getting into a fight with an agitator as the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday, Fox News reported.
Police were spotted pulling the two men apart as anti-Turning Point demonstrators – including some donning keffiyehs – tried to intervene.
At least two people had already been arrested, including one for battery, before the event got underway, police said.
The largest school district in Alaska is facing controversy after the recent revelation it had added a “disclaimer” to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution.
Must Read Alaska reported Saturday that the disclaimer reads “The Anchorage School District does not endorse these materials or the viewpoint expressed in them.”
A student in the district discovered the disclaimer and showed her mother, who then posted about it on Facebook.
“I was honestly stunned,” the mom wrote. “These aren’t controversial documents, they are the foundation of our country and what our students are supposed to be learning about. Why would a school need to distance itself from the very principles we are built on?
Three generations of a Dutch family have been the caretakers of an American soldier’s grave since 1945 — and promise future descendants will do the same.
Ernest Francis Fichtl Jr., from the Little Neck neighborhood of Queens, was killed during one of World War II’s bloodiest European battles and is buried at Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten.
But until recently, his family back in New York did not know that his grave site is lovingly tended to by his adopted family in the Netherlands. And it’s not the only one. Since the end of the war in Europe in 1945, Margraten residents have honored the sacrifice of

A slick new civil rights-themed video promoting MSNBC's forced name change to "MS NOW" features paid black actors playing ordinary Americans, intercut with pensive shots of MSNBC's white primetime stars. The promotional spot, narrated by Rachel Maddow reading the Constitution, appears to be a ham-handed effort by MSNBC's new parent company, Versant, to cater to MSNBC's large black audience—the largest in cable news—when its primetime and morning anchor lineup is overwhelmingly white. The ad is part of what the New York Times reports is a $20 million marketing campaign to create brand awareness for MS NOW. It uses archival protest footage, video of Martin Luther King Jr., and Maddow's patriotic
We all remember mid-2020 through all of 2021 when every news channel, it seemed, had a running scoreboard with the daily infections and daily deaths allegedly caused by COVID-19, remaining pinned as a sidebar even when the stories being covered were wholly independent from the ‘pandemic’. [snip]
That publication went as far as quoting an In-Q-Tel employee, Luciana Borio, saying that the “CDC normally ‘gets the ball rolling’ with diagnostics because it has the expertise and the biosafety laboratories to handle dangerous novel level pathogens. In-Q-Tel was the “first government-sponsored venture capital firm” chartered by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Immigrants seeking visas to live in the US could be rejected if they have certain common medical conditions, including obesity, cancer or diabetes, according to reports.
The guidance, issued in a cable sent by the State Department to embassy and consular officials, directs visa officers to weed out applicants entering the US based on their age or the likelihood they would need to rely on public benefits, according to a directive examined by KFF Health News.
“You must consider an applicant’s health,” the cable obtained by the outlet said. “Certain medical conditions — including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancers, diabetes, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, and mental health
