Did you know the B-52J’s new Rolls-Royce F130 engines will increase its range by nearly 40%? It's reported that the new engines are so efficient and reliable that they can keep the BUFF airborne for almost two days with minimal refueling. We are looking at an 80-year-old airframe with 21st-century endurance.

@Russell_Son_10 @melkor99534 @Devon_Eriksen_ You can thank native born leftist Americans who did the "long walk through the Institutions" for that. 2nd generation immigrants are being taught be American teachers to hate America. It wasn't like this 40 or 50 years ago.

What a strange invasion force they are. They couldn't conquer us with guns, or with trade, so they came with empty hands and mouths full of tales about how they were too good for their own nations and people. And now that we have realized that this, too, is a weapon, they screech like psychotic ex-girlfriends, alternately sobbing about how heartlessly cruel we are, and ranting dire predictions about how we will never survive without them. But if we can't live without them, why aren't we dead yet? Every time they demand to stay in our country, there is always some claim that they do for us something we cannot do for ourselves. "I'm a scientist!" Do they expect us to believe we are incapable of science? To "be a scientist" is not a contribution. It is a credential. A scientist was enrolled in a PhD program, instead of someone else. He passed that program, and was given a fellowship, or a research grant, or a job, or a tenure track position. Instead of someone else. When institutions squat across every upward ladder in your civilization, gatekeeping vigorously, it really IS a zero sum game. And what have these student-visa, green-card-stapled-to-his-PhD scientists invented? Discovered? Revolutionized? Not much. Certainly not more than the native Americans did in the 20th century. They all want to wear Warner Von Braun like a cape, but where are the results? The actual next Werner Von Braun didn't get any special favors, even though he's technically African, and we all know why he didn't. I don't see any compelling evidence that all these hordes of third worlders are a net positive AT ALL, much less a better bet than the sons of America who they were imported to replace. Why the hell would I feel sorry for them when I know 140+ IQ Americans who are hanging drywall and driving school buses? Norman Borlaug saved the third world from starvation, and the thanks America gets is that the Millennial Norman Borlaug gets to sell insurance because our political class wanted to play Racial Diversity Zoo for cheap votes. And then pat themselves on the back for being generous with someone else's heritage. So I'm not interested in the crocodile tears of an invader over losing ten percent of something that was never his to begin with, as I am equally not interested when he switches, on the instant, to boasting about how he is "competitive" in the hundred yard dash when he starts on the fifty yard line. The replacement of native Americans with everyone else isn't some wild eyed conspiracy theory. It was done right out in the open. We all know this. We all know exactly who had their thumbs on the scales, because they didn't bother to try hiding it. The only thing they hid was their motives. So, as far as I'm concerned, we can send them all back. Every last one. And wish them the best of luck in their own countries. After all, if, as they claim, all playing fields are inherently level, and only merit matters, they should revolutionize their own economies in short order. Meanwhile, we can do for GenZ Americans what GenX and the Millennials missed out on until it was too late. We can invest in them.

This is Milad Panjshiri the 22 year old piece of shit who stormed into a supermarket in Bradford West Yorkshire like he owned the fucking place. Waving a knife around threatening the staff and smashing up the whole alcohol aisle because he felt like it. Its constant. Every damn week another one of these animals turns a normal shop into a knife wielding shitshow. They pour in take what they want and leave nothing but terror and wreckage behind while our gutless politicians sit there doing sweet fuck all. Im fucking sick of it. Get them out. Round every last one of these parasites up and boot them straight back to where they came from before they completely trash the country. Enough is enough.

5/5 The identical mathematical fingerprint appears in a Utah voter file from Google Sheets. Google Sheets has no drag-fill linear regression. The mechanism theoretically available as an accidental explanation for Texas does not exist in Google Sheets. Same algorithm. Two states. Two applications. One author.

🧵 1/5 The NY Times reports FBI agents determined the Bexar voter file anomalies were most likely caused by a drag-and-drop error when county officials exported data from poll pad devices into Excel. I just published four mathematical proofs that no drag-and-drop error — at any stage, on any computer — could have produced this file. @WestonMartinez @ZoomWalter @Lorionafarm @PeterBernegger

Gavin Newsom is telling Californians to boycott Chevron because they're "ripping you off." Today: - Chevron, L.A. County CA: $6.39 - Chevron, Jackson County MS: $3.99 It's not the oil companies ripping us off in California, it's Gavin Newsom and the Democrats. Vote for change!

This is irresponsible. @RogerPielkeJr is by no measure a “climate denier.” Pointing out the flawed assumptions underlying RCP8.5 (and newer scenarios) is inconvenient for climate activists but it should be welcomed by those who want to again build trust among the broader public for climate action. - Sincerely, a former climate staffer on Biden’s NSC.
Sheldon Whitehouse@SenWhitehouse

Wow. The Washington Post op-ed page promotes a notorious climate denier. It has really gone the way of the PolluterPage. (BTW the worst-case emissions scenario fell because despite fossil fuel’s corrupt efforts, clean energy has surged globally, so this takes some nerve.)

@SteveGuest I know not a single person that has ever looked at the data enough to know if any of this is real. That informs my skepticism. The fact that people who write about and legislate based on this without knowing anything is truly appalling. Embarrassing, actually.

Vox with a BOMBSHELL admission in the wake of the demise of RCP8.5. “Those numbers shaped a decade and a half of climate journalism, including a lot of my own when I covered climate change at Time magazine. I didn’t always know — and didn’t always communicate — that the scenario behind the most apocalyptic, attention-getting findings was largely an attempt to imagine how bad things could get, not a true forecast. But I wasn’t alone. RCP 8.5 was a frequent background presence in climate journalism.” vox.com/future-perfect…

Why did Massie lose tonight? Massie went from principled libertarian during COVID, to GOP leadership lapdog under McCarthy, to anti-Trump Epstein obsessive in 2025 after tweeting about that issue a whopping three (3) times in the decade prior. The nail in the coffin for him was voting against OBBB in 2025 because, according to Massie, it did too much to secure the border. Trump mercilessly trashed Massie in 2020–calling him a “disaster” for America and Kentucky and saying he should be thrown out of the GOP entirely—but Massie easily swatted that away and won 81-19, so you can’t say he only lost because of Trump. He went toe-to-toe with Trump on COVID in 2020 and won overwhelmingly. Massie lost because he went from being perceived as a quirky but lovable nerd who seemed to genuinely believe everything he said, to looking like a clout-chasing influencer who cared more about getting TV time with Democrats on an issue he clearly never cared about until five minutes ago than he did about representing his voters. We’ll never know what caused the apparent personality change—maybe it was the death of his wife, maybe it was the McCarthy race followed by McCarthy’s ouster, or maybe it was a desire for notoriety or media acclaim and a lucrative podcasting career outside of Congress—but the drastic change was undeniable, as was the seeming lack of interest in much of anything happening in Kentucky. Blame Trump, blame Israel, blame Epstein, blame the tragic death of a spouse, I don’t care. But you cannot just wave away 2020 Massie going face-to-face with the Trump machine and winning in a rout only to get smoked six years later. Massie’s voters didn’t really change all that much, but he did, and they noticed.

The Boomers of Kentucky embarrassed the United States on the world stage today. Around the world, people genuinely wondered: can an American politician survive who doesn't repeat low-IQ platitudes about Israel and the Middle East? The Boomers -- with their heterodox Christianity and FOX News propaganda -- gave their answer. Republican politics is dominated by people who for some reason still think Sean Hannity is a smart guy, and Mark Levin is a constitutional scholar. Pat Buchanan had given them the example of the learned and articulate right-winger -- and Pat was well to the right of Hannity and Levin -- but they decided to go with Tomi Lahren and Dan Bongino instead. Oh, Massie voted this way or that, people will say, and that's why he was targeted in this unprecedented way. Yet there's Donald Trump out there campaigning for pro-amnesty Mike Lawler. So I don't believe you that this is a question of Massie's voting record (which is stellar, by the way). Even if Massie had had a handful of objectionable votes, a million times more important than any Massie vote is this principle: A patriot who values his country's sovereignty cannot allow three socially leftist billionaires who represent a foreign interest to buy a congressional seat and place a ridiculous empty suit in it. Even if for some reason you don't like Massie, you as a patriot would have to dislike THAT a hundred times more. These three billionaires never once set foot in Kentucky -- Kentuckians, to them, are lower than dirt, and exist solely to have congressional seats bought from them. Put up a nonentity like "Ed Gallrein" who refuses to debate (how can any voter reward that?), have him utter a few Boomer slogans to satisfy the rubes, and otherwise hide him away. That was the strategy. Boomers (yes, I know there are exceptions) are too morally and intellectually corrupt even to understand what just happened. But the rest of us understand. Can you imagine "Ed Gallrein" leading the charge against the Covid restrictions? He would have been first in line for the damn "vaccine"! Remember, too, that the folks who voted for "Ed Gallrein" tonight are the kind of people who think Marco Rubio is an impressive person, so there was no reaching them. But the younger generations, who don't get their information from the insulting caricature of conservatism that is FOX News, aren't going to fall for the nonsense that snookered the Boomers -- and therein lies hope. Incidentally, the easiest thing in the world would have been for Massie to buckle. Nobody reading this has the remotest idea the pressure that was brought to bear against him. Not one of his detractors could have lasted a week in Massie's shoes. If Trump can sup in happy concord with Zohran Mamdani, the radical leftist mayor of New York, you'd think he could have spared a meal with Massie, whose track record proved he was not Trump's enemy. Not that you'd know it from the anti-Massie brigade (half of whom used to love Massie before they were instructed not to love him), Massie defended Trump through two impeachments, grilled Merrick Garland over FBI assets on January 6, and defended Trump during Russiagate. By contrast, "Ed Gallrein" left the GOP when Trump was elected, and came back only when Biden was in office. But since we're not completely dense, we know the real reason Massie could not be tolerated. As Glenn Greenwald put it, "If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress. "There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous." I repeat that no American patriot can tolerate, much less celebrate, this grotesque and demeaning situation. The polls show that this situation won't exist forever. We will reach a point at which the foreign money (and that's obviously what it is) will at last be a mark of shame for the candidate receiving it. That will be a great day for American patriots everywhere. Thomas Massie should hold his head high: he stood up against the machine time and again, knowing that it could one day lead to this. Tonight we have to explain to our kids: in this world, the good guys don't always win. But you fight regardless of the prospects of winning. The fight for what is good and right is an end in itself. For that reason, people will remember the Thomas Massies and the Ron Pauls. Nobody will remember "Ed Gallrein," not even as the answer to a trivia question.

@seanmdav Utter horseshit. There's a massive difference between that election and this one: three billionaires didn't find his opposition then, Trump was far more vocal on his opposition, Fox News didn't keep Massie off the network for 18 months. Older KY voters were sold lies.

Central planners shipped snowplows to equatorial Ghana, where snow has never fallen in recorded history. The bureaucrats who approved this requisition never questioned whether tropical Africa needed equipment designed for Minnesota winters. This absurd waste reveals the fundamental flaw in all central planning: the knowledge problem. No committee of experts can possibly aggregate the dispersed knowledge held by millions of individuals making local decisions. The Ghanaian farmer knows his climate better than any Brussels bureaucrat with a spreadsheet. The local road maintenance crew understands what equipment actually works in 90-degree heat and seasonal flooding. Markets solve this automatically through profit and loss. Private companies that shipped snowplows to Ghana would face immediate bankruptcy. Customers would refuse to buy useless equipment. Investors would pull funding from incompetent management. The price system communicates information faster and more accurately than any central planning agency ever could. Waste gets punished swiftly and decisively. Government agencies face no such constraints. They spend other people's money on other people's problems with zero accountability. The bureaucrat who approved snowplows for a snowless country keeps his job, pension, and budget for next year. He might even get promoted for "international development leadership." Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill for equipment now rusting unused in Accra warehouses. You cannot centrally plan prosperity any more than you can centrally plan weather patterns. Every snowplow shipped to Ghana represents resources stolen from productive uses and allocated by people who will never face the consequences of their ignorance.
