Plans released for a $16 billion mile-long ship capable of carrying 80,000 people.

The 'Freedom Ship' would be home to about 50,000 people, with space for 10,000 tourists and 20,000 crew members.

"The Freedom Ship is envisioned as a permanently mobile city at sea designed for long-term residence rather than short-term travel," the company says.

The ship would be about 8 times the size of the current largest ship in the world, the Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas.

The plans include a 15,000-seat stadium, schools, colleges, shops, clubs, a water park, a music hall, museums, parks, and more.

The ship, which would run on nuclear, would be too large to dock and would remain in international waters.

Freedom Cruise International says it would go around the world every two to three years.

Insane.

Unless you become the media, you will never know the truth

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

El testimonio de una religiosa secuestrada en Camerún conmueve al Papa: el rezo del Rosario me mantuvo “viva”.

En medio de la violencia que azota el noroeste de Camerún desde 2017, la Iglesia Católica se mantiene como un refugio de consuelo y esperanza para la población. Así lo expresó la hermana Carine Tangiri Mangu ante el Papa en la Catedral de Bamenda, al relatar las duras condiciones en las que religiosas y agentes pastorales sirven a comunidades golpeadas por el conflicto armado y la acción de grupos terroristas.

A pesar de la inseguridad constante, las religiosas continúan su labor entre los más pobres, llevando ayuda material y, sobre todo, esperanza. Sin embargo, esta misión implica graves riesgos. La propia hermana Carine vivió uno de ellos cuando, junto a otra religiosa, fue secuestrada el 14 de noviembre mientras regresaban de su escuela. Durante tres días y tres noches permanecieron cautivas en la selva, sin comida, agua ni descanso, siendo trasladadas continuamente para evitar ser rescatadas. En medio del miedo y el agotamiento, intentaron hacer comprender a sus captores que solo servían a los más necesitados.

En esa experiencia límite, la fe fue su único sostén: el rezo del Rosario mantuvo viva su esperanza. Finalmente, fueron liberadas gracias a la mediación de cristianos locales.

Este testimonio refleja la realidad de muchos consagrados que, pese al peligro, no abandonan su vocación. Con valentía, siguen sosteniendo escuelas, hospitales y parroquias, confiando en Dios y en la Virgen María, para que su pueblo no pierda la esperanza en medio de la guerra.

"The limiting factor for AI deployment is fundamentally electrical power."

That was Elon Musk in a conversation with Larry Fink during his first-ever appearance at Davos.

And it's the most honest thing anyone in Big Tech has said in a while.

Forget the hype about superintelligence and robots.

Forget the promises about productivity gains that CFOs still can't measure.

The bottleneck is power. And that bottleneck is very real.

Here's why & how to position yourself to make the most out of this:

We're producing more chips than we can turn on.

AI chip production is increasing exponentially. US electricity generation is growing 3-4% annually.

The math doesn't work.

US data center power demand is expected to hit 75.8 gigawatts in 2026, up from 61.8 gigawatts in 2025. By 2030, it could reach 134 gigawatts.

The largest US grid operator, PJM, expects to add 31 gigawatts of data center load over the next five years.

But only 28 gigawatts of new generation capacity is planned.

The deficit is already here.

Residential electricity rates near data centers have jumped as much as 267% compared to five years ago. Regular Americans are subsidizing Silicon Valley's power consumption.

Whether AI delivers on its big promises or not, the electricity bills are coming due right now.

Elon made another point that deserves attention:

China is solving the energy problem while America talks about AI miracles.

He noted China's solar deployment is "tremendous."

And that's an understatement.

I verified the numbers. They're insane:

China installed 275 gigawatts of solar capacity in the first 11 months of 2025. That's more than the ENTIRE installed solar capacity of the United States.

In May 2025 alone, China added 93 gigawatts. Roughly 100 panels every second.

For the first time in history, a single country surpassed 1,000 gigawatts of total solar capacity.

China added more solar in one month than America has built in its entire history...

But this ISN'T about climate policy. It's about strategic positioning.

China understands something Wall Street is ignoring: whoever controls the energy infrastructure controls the next era of computing.

While American investors chase the latest AI stock, China is building the power grid that will actually run the technology.

My take:

The data center buildout will fall short of expectations.

Big Tech wants trillions in infrastructure. The grid can't deliver it. Not at this pace. Not with 3-4% annual electricity growth against exponential demand projections.

Something has to give.

Either the buildout slows dramatically, or electricity prices spike to levels that destroy the economics of the entire AI story.

The AI trade has been built on the assumption that infrastructure will materialize to meet demand. That assumption is looking increasingly shaky.

BUT the companies selling power to Big Tech win either way.

Scarcity means pricing power. Utilities don't need AI to cure cancer. They just need hyperscalers to keep signing power agreements. And they are.

Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet spent ~$350B in 2025 on data centers. That money flows to utilities and grid infrastructure whether AI changes the world or not.

US utilities are forecasting a ~6% jump in capital expenditures to $228B in 2026. Cumulative utility capex is expected to surpass $1.1T through 2029.

Dominion Energy is investing $50B through 2029, projecting 5-7% annual earnings growth. Entergy plans $41B between 2026 and 2029, targeting more than 8% compound annual earnings growth.

These aren't speculative bets on AI changing everything...

They're regulated utilities with contracted demand and predictable cash flows.

So beware the AI story.

The productivity miracle remains unproven. The physical constraints are becoming impossible to ignore.

But the picks-and-shovels play? THAT'S where the smart money is looking.

The hyperscalers have to pay their electricity bills. I'd rather own the companies collecting them.
