Indonesian Rainforests Turned Into Open-Cast Mining Pits to Improve Range of High-End Electric Vehicles - THE DAILY SCEPTIC
Eco Smugs sitting in their top-of-the-range electric vehicles are probably unaware, or perhaps don’t want to know, about the unfolding ecological tragedy in the virgin tropical rainforests of Indonesia. - Chris MorrisonHigher EV ranges have been achieved by adding nickel to lithium-ion batteries, an addition that has also boosted the performance of some public transport buses in cities like London.
- As with many green ‘advances’, the ecological cost is horrendous.
Over half the world’s supply of nickel is located in Indonesia and much of that is to be found just a few feet below unspoilt rainforests.
Cue massive deforestation and extensive rollout of smelters and even EV battery factories....

A veteran-built interactive map of Afghanistan plots memories
Built as an interactive map of Afghanistan, Project Athena is an archive that veterans can upload photos to, chronicling the war as they lived it next to the memories of others. - Clay Beyersdorfer
For a generation that lived the war in Afghanistan one grid square at a time, the war now feels like a series of dots on a map.
But putting memories — photos, names, notes — onto a map, and adding the memories of others, can fill out a picture of that war...
For a generation that lived the war in Afghanistan one grid square at a time, the war now feels like a series of dots on a map.
- A patrol base carved out of hardpan soil.
- A culvert on a highway that never felt safe.
- A ridge where the radio went quiet.
Nathan Kehler knows the pull of those dots.
When he and a group of fellow veterans wanted to record the war they experienced, they knew all their stories would be easiest to see laid out on a map.
- They launched Project Athena — a visual map connecting the memories of soldiers to the coordinates where they occurred.
But putting memories — photos, names, notes — onto a map, and adding the memories of others, can fill out a picture of that war...

Court rules Trump does have right to dispatch National Guard to Portland to fight crime * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Court rules Trump does have right to dispatch National Guard to Portland to fight crime * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
It was a three-judge panel at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that lifted a lower court's order that blocked Trump from exercising his authority.
"After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 12406(3), which authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when 'the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States,'" the judges wrote.
Harry Sisson Short-Circuits When Presented With Evidence of Democrats Calling Trump Hitler
"When did Kamala Harris call Donald Trump, Hitler?" Sisson said, before repeating his question. - Dmitri Bolt
- Piers Morgan himself chimed in, saying that "Hillary Clinton literally compared Trump's rally in Ohio last week to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's speeches...She made reference to Hitler speeches, which saw people raise their right arms in the air in the Nazi salute."...
- Jasmine Crockett, a Democratic Representative from Texas, referred to Trump as "Temu Hitler" in a video from August of 2025. Rep. Crockett has also called him a wannabe Hitler.
- A Texas State Representative, Ana-Maria Ramos, did the same. Most other Democrats appear afraid to call President Trump Hitler, but that has not stopped them from outright calling him a dictator, fascist, or authoritarian.

Tim Allen Reminds the Left What They SHOULD Be Protesting and Cue the SHRIEKING in 3 ... 2 ... 1
If only we could get Democrats focused on real problems instead of made-up microaggressions about abortion and LGBTQIA+... think of what we might be able to get done as a country. - Sam J.
- Tim Allen took one look at the ridiculous No Kings rallies across the country and came to the same conclusion as 99% of the rest of us did... they weren't protesting much of anything meaningful.
Allen took this a step further, however, and reminded Americans of the problems we should ALL be working on:

WATCH: Clueless 'No Kings' activists can't name one reason why they're protesting Trump * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"No Kings" protesters could not name a reason why they were protesting against President Donald Trump during the nationwide demonstrations on Saturday.
Organizers of the protests claimed that 7 million anti-Trump protesters turned out in major U.S. cities to reject so-called "authoritarianism" and "affirm" that the nation does not belong to kings. Several of these protesters could come up with a single reason for why they are protesting Trump.
