If you're not following how the rural drama over Texas' school voucher program impacted this year's blue tsunami, you're missing out because it's a wildly fascinating and multi-year policy and political saga:

Wait, wait, wait...
So, all those Iranian propaganda accounts were actually Israel propaganda accounts pretending to be Iranian propaganda accounts?
Deception must be one of those western values we keep hearing about from Netanyahu.

Surveys near Prudhoe Bay began in the second half of 2025 โ a year before Polar LNG LLC was even formed (June 2026). So who held the permits for the 2025 surveys? Possibly Tech Wave, a contractor or another entity. That's a clean, checkable question for DNR. Checking foreign entities operating in Alaska is easy.

This is a comparison of two Republican strategists. The first clip is Caroline Sunshine from the late-night election night coverage on Fox News. The second is Doug Heye from Election Night on the PBS News Hour. They came up with VERY different conclusions.

Retired General Wesley K. Clark:
The Ukrainians are in a tough position, but you've got to put pressure on Putin if you want a solution. You can't put the pressure on Ukraine. They can't give in. They're fighting for their national existence. And they understand Putin very well, much better than we do.
Putin is not a nice guy. He's not a humanitarian. He's a cold-hearted intelligence agent, one of the best that's ever come through the Soviet system. And he knows what he's doing. He's manipulating. He's coercing. He's attacking our allies. And he's trying to break up NATO and get the United States to give up on Europe.
So you've got to put the pressure on Putin.
Putin's not going to deliver for us when President Trump sees President Xi and President Putin.
If we deliver Ukraine, Putin's going to stab us right in the back.
He's not, and he's not going to be, a friend of America. He's definitely using the Iranians, propping them up, giving them weapons, technology and targets to go after.

Model IV- Devastating Results: In October, Elon Musk didn't just throttle Ukraine on the ground: SpaceX coordinated with Russia in orbit to freeze ICEYE-X36 so Russia could extract U.S. radar and battery tech, compromising U.S. and NATO satellite sovereignty. Our new 28-page quantitative study, 3-page Executive Brief, and 5-Act orbital animation prove the structural damage across the Western kill chain and global commodity markets. (Pete Hegseth and Emil Michael played direct role. Is the White House complicit? It's hard to see how they are not.)
Since Project CORONA in 1958, Moscow chased U.S. spy satellites for 68 years with zero close-hold successes because Russian radars are blind across 265.1 degrees of Earth. In June 2026, U.S./NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 easily escaped a Russian approach in 60.8 minutes.
68 Years in 41 Hours: How Elon Musk Helped Russia Shatter U.S. and NATO Satellite Supremacy ๐
-The Ground Throttle Failed, Triggering the Orbital Brake: Following the Oct 9 Putin-Trump call and Russian diesel waiver (OFAC GL 135), SpaceX capped Ukrainian military Starshield terminals at 101-161 km/h on Oct 13-14 (-22.98% daily drone intercepts, p = 0.0019). Yet autonomous drones guided by U.S. NRO/NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 struck Rosneft's Ryazan refinery on Oct 15 AM anyway. Hours later (04:15:44Z), SpaceX posted a misleading 401m Starlink collision alert (internal v1-v4 pass: 1.93-2.00 km) to freeze X36 under FCC Condition 16 (-96.64% maneuver drop) while 31,000 Stargaze cameras tracked Russia's COSMOS 2612 sprinting into a 640m hold for 41.4 to 47.7 hours.
-Tech Extraction, Prague Wipe & Finland's Seizure: At 640m (+57.9 dB / 616,068x flux gain), Russia recorded X36's Title 50 1,200 MHz radar template to track both X36 and twin X37 from 500+ km away (+13.85 to +26.86 dB standoff SNR). On Oct 18, COSMOS 2612 timed Stellar Exploration's shared 8S battery 2-orbit thruster lockout (191.12 min), firing its departure burn +0.67 seconds after X36 recharged. Within 24 hours (Oct 19), Stellar cut U.S. ownership in Prague from 85% to 33% (Notice OV12312900) to block DoD audits, SpaceX onboarded Chinese operators into Space Safety (Oct 6 & 16), and on Nov 5 Finland stripped commercial ICEYE of command over its 3 military radar satellites.
-245 NRO Spy Sats Exposed & The 6.3-Min Hormuz Warning: All 245 classified NRO Starshield satellites (348 active hulls) fly in that exact compromised 525-559 km shell (confirmed Oct 28 by Putin on live TV praising orbital coordination with "Mr. Musk"). Perched 66-99s behind X36 on its descending orbit from Ryazan/Kyiv (~08:02Z) to Qeshm Island/Hormuz (~08:09Z) and Diego Garcia (~08:18Z), Russia now gives Tehran a live 4.6-7.1 min blind-spot warning (corroborated Nov 7 at Qeshm) while locking COSMOS 2611 and 2613 onto twin ICEYE-X37.
-Pentagon Enablement, Depleted Magazines & Two Market Shocks: Handed $11.88B+ in CoCo contracts by Sec Def Hegseth and CTO Emil Michael ($5M-$25M xAI sale 72h before seizing Maven and cutting CENTCOM reviewers 16-to-1), unthrottled spring AI targeting and Iranian salvos left U.S. forces with 3.7-5.5 Patriot raids and forced 74%-86% of 5th Fleet destroyers off-station to reload at Diego Garcia (LTG Sylvia fired Oct 28). Market impact splits into two unpooled shocks: (1) freezing X36 cut Ryazan restrikes 76.4% (p = 0.0000337), restoring +122.15 kb/d for GL 135 until Nov 4-5 restrikes stranded 4 diesel tankers; and (2) 5th Fleet VLS reload lag collapsed unescorted Hormuz clean products 81.2% (-2.923 mb/d), driving LR2 TC20 to $21.86M and 4:3 Gasoil/Brent cracks to $85.14-$89.43/bbl.

NEW: Fox gave Melania Trump's foster care program $1 million during a DOJ review of its Roku deal.
Trump's DOJ just dropped its probe and let the merger through.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is the leading voice in the cabinet pushing to open America's public lands to AI data centers.
Arthur Ventures, the investment firm Burgum co-founded, holds an estimated $18 million to $64 million in AI companies that depend on those same data centers.ย
Burgum agreed to step down from his roles at the firm when he joined the administration, but he kept his financial stake.
A recent investigation found that heโs not alone. Hundreds of Trump appointees or their spouses have financial ties to tech giants betting big on AI.
When this administration decides how to regulate data centers and whether to build them on our public lands, who comes out ahead? The American people, or the officials hoping to cash in?
Either we will end this corruption, or it will be the end of us.

Utter and complete US strategic failure. The US started this war not knowing what it was doing, made things worse by fighting the war with no plan or awareness of strategic consequences. And here we are, 9 months later and all there is left to do is blame the rest of the world.

BREAKING: Supreme Court allows border wall construction to resume through Big Bend National Park and across region.
This clears the way for contractors to bulldoze pristine desert, dynamite canyon walls and lock away a great American river from us all. And for what? All just to further enrich a few billionaire contractors while they permanently destroy Texas' crown-jewel national park. Because nobody else wants this.

ALL TEXAN VOTERS NEED TO REMEMBER THIS FOR THE NEXT ELECTION.
While Governor Elect @GinaHinojosaTX, is working to build a bipartisan government, @TexasGOP is working to subvert the peopleโs will for bipartisan government by trying to redirect power into only their hands.

Megyn Kelly is/was right that this "is not going to sell." It didn't sell.
Americans did not believe Iran was even remotely close to getting a nuclear weapon (they weren't) and a big part of that was the president saying we obliterated their nuclear capabilities last year.

Tim Snyder on billionaires leaving the US if taxed: "If they're not paying taxes anyway, it doesn't matter, right? Let them go plague some other country... if they're not going to pay taxes here, let them not pay taxes somewhere else, because it is actually no loss."

MAGA is working itself up into a lather because a Democrat said, "Lawyer up."
Can we take a quick trip down memory lane here?
So MAGA is having a meltdown because someone told Republicans to "lawyer up."
Seriously?
Let's review a little history.
Since returning to office, Donald Trump's administration has pursued criminal investigations, prosecutions, or official inquiries involving:
Letitia James
James Comey
John Bolton
Adam Schiff
John Brennan
Jack Smith
Christopher Krebs
Mark Milley
Lisa Cook
Jerome Powell
Tim Walz
Jacob Frey
And that's before counting the Democratic members of Congress who faced investigations or official reviews after reminding military personnel of their obligation to refuse unlawful orders:
Mark Kelly
Elissa Slotkin
Jason Crow
Chrissy Houlahan
Maggie Goodlander
Chris DeLuzio
Trump has also publicly threatened or called for criminal investigations of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney, and numerous other political opponents.
*Ronco Voice* But wait! There's more!
Let's talk about the Republican-led House Oversight Committee and its related investigative subcommittees.
Under Republican leadership, congressional investigations have scrutinized:
Joe Biden
Hunter Biden
James Biden
Dr. Anthony Fauci
Dr. Francis Collins
Tim Walz
Keith Ellison
Alejandro Mayorkas
Gavin Newsom
Karen Bass
JB Pritzker
Kathy Hochul
Michelle Wu
Brandon Johnson
Mike Johnston
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
And that's not even a complete list.
They've investigated ActBlue, COVID origins, pandemic research funding, the Biden family's finances, alleged censorship, immigration policies, and whether Biden's staff improperly used an autopen.
They've issued subpoenas, demanded testimony, examined financial records, and made criminal referrals.
And not ONE of these investigations has resulted in a conviction.
You can stop clutching your pearls now, MAGA.
