🇨🇳 China just switched on the world's largest offshore solar farm

2.3 million solar panels. 2,934 steel platforms. 11,736 piles driven into the ocean floor. Built to survive force-11 gales and sea ice.

It sits 5 miles off the coast and powers 2.67 million people.

Oh, and they're also farming fish underneath it 😳

War in Iraq: $2.1 trillion
War in Afghanistan: $2.3 trillion
Projected cost of the war in Iran: $1 trillion

Somehow, there is always money for war, but never enough money for housing, education or the needs of working people. We must and will change our national priorities.

A formal disbarment complaint was filed against Chief Justice John Roberts at the DC Bar on April 22, 2026, alleging a pattern of financial disclosure violations spanning two decades. At the center of the complaint is the documented commission income earned by Jane Sullivan Roberts while working as a legal recruiter at Major, Lindsey & Africa between 2007 and 2014. According to internal records released by whistleblower Kendal Price, she earned $10.3 million in commissions from elite law firms during that period, some of which argued cases before the Supreme Court in the same years.

Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.

Let that sink in.

If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.

If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.

If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.

So why does owning a home work differently?

Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?

A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.

You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.

This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.

MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis is embroiled in a scandal for funneling $10 million in taxpayer money to his wife's charity, which funneled $8.5 million to a PAC for his ally. Even Republicans are denouncing it as illegal, marking a significant case of corruption.

Three Gorges Dam: Navigation resumes through the five‑step ship lock

After 45 days of maintenance, completed on April 18, the five‑step lock at the Three Gorges Dam has reopened, allowing vessels to resume passage at a high rate but under tightly managed and efficient operations.

This project is considered one of the most complex achievements in hydraulic engineering, with its lock system enabling ships to be raised and lowered smoothly and safely across major differences in water levels.

Located in Hubei Province in central China, the dam is classified as the world’s largest hydroelectric power station, as well as one of the most massive dams in terms of scale and economic impact.
