In the grand scheme of things we, as individuals (to include those that think they are in power), are irrelevant...
Look at all the stars that our scientist can see. Look at the vast (I have no better word to describe it) distances involved. How can any person believe that in the grand scheme of things they are important? No matter how important we think we are, we're just a small dot...less than a dot...in the vastness of the universe. God help us if there is a multi-verse. That renders are significance to nothing. Nothing but talking dust.Professor Brain Cox explaining how big our observable universe is. pic.twitter.com/F2tUBPCOLu

Do ya'll remember me posting about the mess with P. Diddy? Well not only is Jay-Z rumored to be part of the drama but supposedly THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE US was at the parties too!
Oh this is getting big. Many rappers are gonna get caught up in this drama. But that isn't the juicy part. The juicy part is all the power brokers that are getting called into this thing. I've heard P. Diddy's Island called the Black Epstien! But the name that will ring bells is the Kamala is now part of the story. Either this thing gets crushed completely or a bunch of people are about to get taken out.Never forget how Kamala Harris got her start. She isn’t a stranger to Diddy parties in L.A. either. pic.twitter.com/6nuwHwfoWt

Interview goes sideways on extracted carbon
I have to wonder if the real deal behind the climate religion is to plunge the world back to the stone age. As part of that I have to wonder if the climate religion isn't setup to keep undeveloped countries POOR!!! It starts slow but check out the entire video. Don't know who this leader is but it is glorious the way he puts a pompus reporter on his ass.
This is the most satisfying video on the internet right now.

Why We Can’t Beat the Houthis via Defense Post by Col Gary Anderson (Ret)
This whole write up is interesting. He covers the conflict with the Houthis but what has me spun up is his proposal during the Vietnam war. Dude had his fangs out way back then. Check this out...
Amphibious Raid
In 1972, I was a Marine Corps Second Lieutenant. I wrote an article for the Marine Corps Gazette suggesting we could break the stalemate with a massive amphibious raid into North Vietnam.
I proposed a 60 to 90-day incursion that would destroy their standing army, military infrastructure, and ports. I advocated a sea-based option because the Vietnamese insurgents would be less likely to disrupt our lines of communications and would never know where we would strike next.
It was the Cold War, and most American policymakers feared a large-scale incursion would bring intervention by the Soviet Union or China. I argued that by the time either of those could effectively intervene the Marines would be gone and that it would take Hanoi years before it would be able to launch a successful invasion of South Vietnam.
I believed this would give the South time to build an effective, productive, and Western-oriented democracy such as South Korea was becoming.
Not surprisingly, the administration was unwilling to take strategic advice from a Second Lieutenant and the country’s mood would not have supported major military action. By 1975, South Vietnam had collapsed under a Northern invasion.
Many Americans who did not live through that period (and some who did) believe Saigon fell to Viet Cong peasants armed only with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. In actuality, the South was overrun by a modern combined arms North Vietnamese army using tanks, artillery, and Soviet-built anti-aircraft missiles — exactly the army that my concept would have killed in the cradle.
It would have worked then, and it would work now in Yemen if we still had the Navy and Marine Corps to accomplish it.
The focus is on the Houthis but like I said I find this fascinating. Can you imagine how that war would have turned out if we had actually launched on this plan? The weird thing is that I would bet body parts he isn't the only one that was thinking this way.
Oh and let me end with this.
Conducting any kind of ground action in Yemen would play into our enemy's hands at least in my opinion.
Yes I know an amphibious raid is limited in scope and duration, but I also know that optics are important in this day and age.
The problem is an international one. Diverting ships around the range of Houthi missiles/drones is causing price spikes that affect the planet.
But have you noticed that the UN is silent. We reflexively reached for a military solution...a halfway military solution.
Just a few strikes by B-52's and B-1's could knock this shit off with a quickness. The optics would be terrible. Alot of civilians would be killed but it would stop the proble.
Gov Hochul got handled rough. She should have listened when they told her not to show up...
Dude in the black suit looks he is going off on her. She's gonna have some certain feelings about this incident. She definitely won't forget it.New York Governor Kathy Hochul got ejected from Police Officer Jonathan Diller’s wake today.

Ukraine imposing emergency blackouts on several regions...
The Russian anti-energy campaign is working. I don't understand why they would have to impose blackouts though. Several NATO countries are providing energy cross border. Of course that will raise prices for energy in those countries, eventually across the EU and maybe across the West but no one except the little people will suffer from the higher prices. One thing of note though is that places even more pressure on GERMAN INDUSTRY. They've had their golden age partly because of cheap energy. The strategy invoked either deliberately or the ramifications of unintended consequences is putting a strain on the economic engine of Europe. Things will be getting interesting across the board on that continent.Ukraine said Friday that it had imposed emergency blackouts on several regions after Russia fired dozens of missiles and drones at its power stations overnight https://t.co/Sh0MybY2mR

OK. I'm beginning to buy into the meme that all those Chinese military aged males were actually spies...
Why the hell would this dude want to do this just a whim? He wouldn't is the proper answer. He was a test for the real infiltrators. I wonder how many of these "new arrivals" will end up employed by civilian entities to work on military bases all over the US but especially in California and probably Texas. We've got a spy problem I think. At the very least we need to upgrade our response to civilians that refuse to comply with military instructions when entering military installations.BP agents responded to a call from the Marine Corp Base about a #Chinese national who entered the base w/o authorization, ignoring orders to leave.
