I can’t let this go unchallenged.

That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault.

The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.

The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence.

What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim.

The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier.

In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!

Your 6-hour flight from LA to New York is about to become a 3-hour flight. And it's legal because engineers figured out how to bend sound.

Since 1973 it's been a federal crime for any passenger plane to fly faster than the speed of sound over American soil. That's why your cross-country flight takes the same 6 hours it took your parents in the 80s. Planes got safer and more efficient. They never got faster. The law made faster illegal.

The original reason was real. In the 60s the government flew supersonic jets over Oklahoma City 8 times a day for 6 months to test public reaction. The booms cracked plaster, broke windows, and generated nearly 10,000 complaints. So the FAA banned the speed itself.

Here's what changed. The speed of sound isn't constant. It shifts with air temperature, which shifts with altitude. Fly high enough and fast enough in the right conditions and the shockwave physically bends, curving back up into the sky before it reaches the ground. The boom still happens. It just never lands.

NASA measured what people underneath actually hear: a faint rumble about as loud as normal street noise. No crack. No broken windows.

So the FAA's new rule flips the logic. Instead of banning the speed, it caps the sound allowed to hit the ground. Stay quiet and you can fly as fast as the plane will go. Boom already proved the tech works in a real test flight last year.

The last time you could fly supersonic, a Concorde ticket cost about $12,000 round trip and only crossed the ocean. The next version flies over land, over your house, and you'll never hear it coming.

I don’t understand why so many Americans are confused about how offsides works in soccer. It’s easy, if anything exciting happens, that’s offsides.

So Tulsi released even more definitive evidence that Dr. Fauci funded gain of function research in Chinese labs with our tax dollars, which helped create covid, & then when covid leaked from a Chinese lab he created a vast conspiracy to cover up what he did & attack anyone who pointed it out.

This news was all released on Friday. Since its release CNN and MSNBC have completely ignored the biggest crime and cover up of the 21st century and have instead obsessively covered algae in the reflecting pool. We live in the most dishonest of media times.

@Polymarket 50 quadrillion orders vs 7. Sure it was super hard to get good reviews from those 7 people

@amyklobuchar We give you WAY more than that in taxes and you’ve done none of those things

@SenWarren At least he woke up this morning and earned it. When is the last time you can say the same?
