DC politicians in 2026 are staggeringly corrupt...
Pushing Jensen out smells like a gov't "op". Who leaked classified info to NYT? Who is behind it?
Plausible...
But who the hell thought it was a good idea to do a system update like this on the afternoon of Friday the 13th??
According to CBS News, citing several sources, an update to the private communications network - operated by L3Harris Technologies - that connects America’s air traffic control system caused the system to reboot, resulting in a system crash and the current nationwide ground stop across the United States.

Here's the effect that the first 30 Conference of the Partygoers (COP) meetings plus the other agreements have had … no effect. Zero. Zip. Nada. Airborne CO2 didn't even notice.
So she pushes for more of the same? … I'd say she's stupid, but for her, that's a compliment.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg arrived at COP31, her first time attending the climate summit since 2021. She said the impact of the talks could have 'life or death consequences on 'countless people' reut.rs/4BS6Eym

Today is the National Day for the Victims of Communism. Communism killed more than 100 million people in the 20th century.
This memorial, The Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Prague, powerfully captures what communism does to the human person.
Socialist Democrats claim to be attacking "billionaires" and delivering "affordability", but their idiotic policy proposals actually destroy savings of the middle class.
Democrats lie about everything all the time. Vote them ALL OUT!

The average American lost $8,200 from their retirement accounts today (401k + Roth IRA).
If gas prices were cut in HALF today and inflation was 0% it would take SIX years to recover what they lost.
SIX years; and that is obviously best-case scenario.
But the legacy media won’t tell you Wall Street is reacting to the Blue Wave—even though Democrats elected Tuesday are anti-capitalism, pro-regulation, pro-tax.
And they are anti-wealth (for all but themselves).

Broadcast news becomes more irrelevant every day.
But somehow they refuse to read the handwriting on the wall.
The audience isn't captive to their biased narrative and commentary anymore.
This restores "journalism" to what it was before--people selecting stories from different sources in any order, rather than being forced to endure streams of irrelevance and bias to get to, say, weather and sports.
CNN was scheduled to be today’s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the president’s event in the Oval Office that’s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.

El-Sayed shouldn’t be allowed to receive top secret clearance given his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

For those who are voting for Democrat Senate candidates because you want to punish Trump, remember this: Trump will be gone in two years, but those Democrat Senators will still be here, and they’ll be punishing you.

Remember, Abdul doesn’t want his kids being trans or around a dude in a dress, he just wants your kids around it.
He isn’t for gay marriage, unless he wants to condemn his own mosque where they don’t allow same sex marriage.
He isn’t for abortion for Muslim women, he wants white progressive women to have abortions.
He isn’t for free healthcare he wants a giant government boondoggle.
He isn’t for Gaza, or he’d demand Egypt to take down their wall.
And most importantly he is t for America, he is for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Your move Michigan.
Democrats' ridiculous climate policy is most of what is raising cost of living today. And they will never change weather, temp or climate.
Vote OUT all Democrats!
"Net zero" is the worst "fix the weather" idea since "human sacrifice" but produces worse results.
The ease at which Hochul lies here is wild.
New York BANNED natural gas extraction, won’t allow gas hookups to new construction, CLOSED Indian Point nuclear site, is BLOCKING Constitution Pipeline, set expensive climate goals Albany politicians know can’t be reached, and has electric rates MASSIVELY above national average.

If Haley Stevens is willing to deal with the overwhelming fury of the left to endorse Mike Rogers, you should at least be able to do the relatively easy thing of showing up on Tuesday and voting STRAIGHT TICKET REPUBLICAN

Rock has this right, and the numbers make it even better.
Vanderbilt broke the steamboat monopolies by cutting the New York to Albany fare from $3 to 10 cents, then to free, and still profited on food sales. His Nicaragua route drove the New York to California fare from $600 to as low as $150.
Rockefeller: kerosene cost 26 cents a gallon in 1870. By 1885 it was 8 cents. Light after dark stopped being a luxury for working families.
Carnegie: steel rails ran about $160 a ton in the mid 1870s. By the late 1890s they were $17.
Ford: a Model T cost $825 in 1908. By 1925 it was $260, and he doubled his workers' wages along the way.
The pattern continues today. Jobs put computing power that once cost millions and filled a room into your pocket for a few hundred dollars. Gates put a computer on every desk and drove the price of software toward zero, and he did it decades before he took up preaching the morality of giving wealth away instead of the morality of creating it. Bezos cut the price of nearly everything you buy and delivers it to your door in a day. Musk cut the cost of reaching orbit by roughly 90 percent and forced the entire auto industry to build electric cars people want.
Every man on this list got rich by making life cheaper for millions of people he never met. These fortunes were earned by lowering bills on a scale no government program would even claim to be able to match. And the fact is that such government programs ultimately have the complete opposite effect.
Name one? How about a few?
Rockefeller lowered the cost of kerosene through efficient refining and distribution.
Ford made automobiles affordable through mass production.
Carnegie reduced steel production costs through industrial innovation.
Walton lowered retail prices through bulk purchasing and efficient logistics.
Dell made computers cheaper by eliminating retail intermediaries.
Kamprad made furniture affordable through flat-pack manufacturing and distribution.
Bezos intensified retail competition through Amazon.
Koum made international messaging practically free through WhatsApp.
Page and Brin made search, navigation, email, and translation available without direct charges.
And that's barely scratching the surface.
In fact, it would be considerably more challenging to find a billionaire who earned their fortune through voluntary trade without lowering costs, improving quality, increasing productivity, or making something more accessible.
That's how fortunes are generally made in competitive markets. You create value for others, and the more people you serve, the greater your potential reward.
You don't even have to buy from these businesses to benefit. Their competitors must improve their offerings or risk losing customers.
These clout chasers destroy their credibility daily without so much as flinching.
They enjoy the accumulated benefits of capitalist innovation while confidently demanding evidence that any of it ever happened.
The economic illiteracy would be impressive if it weren't so commonplace.

Congrats to @RealDailyWire for this, this is a MASSIVE Medicaid scam. Remember, Medicaid was meant to cover a relatively small number of non-elderly people, who should mostly have low medical costs. The fact it now costs $1 trillion a year is insane - hundreds of billions of dollars a year is wasted or flat-out fraud.
Ram Chhetri came to the US as a refugee, but this might be worst day of his life: It's the moment he realizes the $80k-$160k/year salary he's bilked from Medicaid for no-show work is coming to an end because @realdailywire caught the truth on camera.
We conducted months of surveillance that shows why "home care aide" is now the *most common job* in states like NY, CA, MN, and PA: Because a large part of those jobs are unambiguous Medicaid fraud.
Thanks to home care, Bhutanese refugees now make more money than actual PA families. The state doesn't just look the other way, but helps them get away with it. Converting federal health dollars into a universal basic income for certain communities relieves the financial burden they place on the state.
The scammers easily deceive the feds' woefully broken monitoring system. You'll see Ram pull into a driveway for 2 minutes in the morning, then 2 minutes in the evening. He clocks in and out of his shift from the right place, and the GPS system doesn't notice that he goes home in between.
$20 an hour doesn't sound like much, but at 77 hours a week, it's $80k–and it's easy to bill huge hours when you don't actually have to work them. And that's just for the low-level guys in this scheme.
