Important read!!-----Watt, Me Worry? Record-Setting "Capacity" Can't Keep the Lights On

One of the clearest signs that the Energy Transition is failing miserably - Mitch Rolling and Isaac Orr

“If a wind turbine is installed on the North Dakota prairie, but it isn’t spinning, does it even exist?”- Anonymous

The prevailing narrative surrounding the power sector is that America’s grid is short of watts, and that we need to vastly increase our power generation capacity to avoid rolling blackouts and meet surging demand for data centers and reindustrialization.

• Given the state of the discourse, it may be hard to believe that America has more installed electricity capacity on its grid than ever before. But it’s true.

The problem is, so much of this capacity is from unreliable wind and solar facilities that provide almost no reliability value to the grid...

• First, let’s set the stage...

My proposal for an effective test to review Women in Combat Arms

Despite more than a decade of policy debates and integration efforts, the question of whether women can be effectively integrated into ground combat arms—particularly infantry—remains unresolved. - Donald Vandergriff

• My proposed design:

company-sized units (roughly 100–200 personnel, e.g., a rifle company or reinforced equivalent) structured as 

• all-male, 
• mixed-gender (e.g., 20–30% female, reflecting realistic recruitment pools), and 
• all-female—

tested in an intense, Ranger School-style simulated

•  combat environment for 7–10 days (or up to 2 weeks for fuller fatigue effects) with OPFOR (opposing force), 
• free-play force-on-force scenarios across urban, hilly, wooded, and swampy terrain, under conditions of minimum sleep, limited resupply, high physical demands, and realistic stress—

is one of the stronger, more comprehensive experimental frameworks discussed for validating women’s integration and placement in infantry/ground combat arms...

If we don't protect Greenland, China/Russia will "protect" it!-----Greenland is vast, frozen and largely uninhabitable — here’s why President Trump wants it

“Greenland is key for technology, security and space exploration,” - Michael Kaplan and Lydia Moynihan

• ...the island’s location is “strategic,” particularly for monitoring adversaries such as China and Russia...the speediest path for a Russian ballistic missile to hit the US would be to send it over the North Pole and Greenland.
• ...a top-notch place for power-hungry data centers, which require lots of cooling — making icy terrain a perfect place for them...
• Greenland is also rich in rare earth minerals, which are key for manufacturing goods in the high-tech world we live in. ...
• ...capitalizing on the expected, but not yet viable, Transpolar Sea Route, a future shipping route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, via the center of the Arctic Ocean. “Russia is very interested...And China is participating in this...
• “Russia is, of course, only talking about civil shipping and trade. But there is no doubt that it is also about more. Very quickly, it can become military.”...

After the war, in 1946, President Harry Truman put in a secret bid to buy Greenland for $100 million in gold and a piece of Alaska...

Never trust the liberal-media to tell you the truth. NEVER!

BUSTED: Ilhan Omar Caught Trying to Funnel $1M to a “Substance Abuse Clinic” Operating Out of a Restaurant Run by Three People at the Same Address

Sen. Joni Ernst revealed Republicans stripped a $1 million earmark tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar - Jim Hᴏft 

• Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

• “This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.
• “So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

When Reason Dies - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry

America’s immigration debate reveals a broader collapse of logic, language, and responsibility—and Minnesota shows where it leads. - Michael Smith

In The Age of Reason, Thomas Paine wrote:
“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”

There is a great deal of that going around these days.
Last night I posted on Facebook that I want Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Jacob Frey to answer ten very simple questions like “Does America have a border?”
There was not a single question on that list for which the factual answer is anything other than “yes.” None of them rely on emotion, interpretation, or ideology. 

They simply describe what is, not what some people wish were true.
And unless we get our arms around the emotional instability now driving American political life, we are cooked—aluminum foil in the microwave, timer set to ten minutes, cooked.
Why?

• Because no issue—large or small—is being approached through truth or reason anymore...

Following the publication of Kim's piece, American Enterprise Institute fellow Ruy Teixeira stressed that "the first response of Democrats to instances like the Minnesota fraud findings should not be to criticize the other side for attacking them and wave the bloody shirt of racism against President Trump but rather to stress the seriousness of the problem and how it will not be tolerated."

Anti-ICE rioter's deadly mistake: Woman allegedly tried to run over federal agents before she was fatally shot | Blaze Media

Anti-ICE rioter's deadly mistake: Woman allegedly tried to run over federal agents before she was fatally shot | Blaze Media: 

"This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement," she said. "These men and women who are simply enforcing the law on the books are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats."

It's not like the dems have never tried to kill a political opponent. Right?

While the President's overall approval among Republicans remains at record highs. 

• Apparently, MS NOW's Katy Tur...tracked down an enthusiastic Trump supporter named Cassius Price in Minneapolis, only to be shocked -- SHOCKED! -- to find out that he was extremely critical of the President's reaction to an ICE agent justifiably shooting a leftist woman who tried to run him over...
