'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.'

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

PSA on MN law.
First-degree murder requires a grand jury indictment in MN.
Folks who get prosecuted for first-degree murder are first charged with second-degree murder, which does not require a grand jury indictment. That’s just a placeholder charge until prosecutors can get to the grand jury.

If these shootings happened abroad news media would be calling it #Terrorism rather than political violence.
A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

Reminder that NORAD is a joint Canada/US military command & that other than Alaska, almost all our early-warning system uses Canada-based radar installations.
RCAF/CANR soldiers protect the US from Russian/Soviet nukes fired over the pole & have done so for ~70 years.

This is your Tuesday morning reminder that the federal minimum wage is still a measly $7.25 an hour.
It puts a full-time worker below the poverty line.
It’s worth less than at any time since 1949.
It would be $23 today if it had kept pace with the growth in productivity. #PayThePeople

So..amid all this excitement did anyone see any expressions of respect by the White House for our dead servicemen in Lithuania or the victims of the storms in the middle of the country? Or is that sort of thing just woke nonsense these days?
