An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

The Department of Energy has now banned the following words and phrases:
climate change, green, decarbonization, energy transition, clean energy, emissions, sustainability, tax breaks, carbon footprint.
This is dystopian and should terrify anyone paying attention.

The part of Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how human music has been replaced by soulless, machine-generated pop songs. The AI attempt to take over the film and music industries is an attack on the human spirit. Boycott AI actors. Boycott AI bands. Support human artists.

"War is peace" is literally from Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."

Senior military leaders are, overall, very smart
Nearly all are broadly experienced, around the world. They have spent their careers in orgs more representative of the whole US than most corps, law firms, finance firms, univs, media orgs.
They have learned to judge character. And honesty.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.
These two gotta go.

Countries with excellent education have STRONG DEMOCRACIES. When a President in South Korea tried to subvert an election, the people including the military refused. It was a peaceful rejection.
