The board of SpaceX should oust Musk for throttling Starlink/Starshield to restrict Ukraine’s defense from Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure and killing of Ukrainian civilians the way Nvidia ousted Jensen Huang
Трамп рассылал спонсорам письма, в которых предлагал им доступ к секретным отчётам нацбезопасности за деньги.
Сенатор Марк Келли тычёт в такое письмо носом директора ЦРУ, а тот говорит что ничего о них не знал 😁
Tim O’Hare, the Texas judge that closed 92 polling stations in Tarrant County, Texas to help give republicans an advantage is out. Voters gave him the boot and replaced him with a black woman. Gotta love that sweet justice.
Three years ago, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked Scott Colom’s nomination for a federal judgeship. Now, he’s beaten her in Mississippi’s Senate race and is about to take her job.
When asked why he constantly allows the Russian dictator to humiliate him, the moron president first defends Putin, then loses his mind in a tantrum when a reporter asks "when will the appeasement end".
Ucrania ahora también ataca a la armada rusa en el Báltico.
Drones del Servicio de Seguridad de Ucrania (SBU) atacaron con éxito a la corbeta misilera rusa Naro-Fominsk cerca de la isla de Gogland, en pleno corazón de la Flota del Báltico.
El ataque se produjo a unos 1.200 kilómetros del territorio ucraniano y a apenas 180 km de San Petersburgo. Hasta ahora, las operaciones navales de Kiev se concentraban en el Mar Negro. Llevar el combate naval directo al extremo norte demuestra que Rusia ya no tiene "santuarios" seguros para su flota en el este de los Urales.
La corbeta Naro-Fominsk es un buque misilero moderno de la clase Buyan-M (incorporado recién en 2022), diseñado con tecnología furtiva y armado con celdas verticales para lanzar misiles de crucero Kalibr y Oniks, los mismos que Rusia utiliza para bombardear ciudades ucranianas a larga distancia.
Este golpe va a obligar a Rusia a desviar radares y sistemas antiaéreos lejos del frente en Ucrania para proteger puertos y buques en el noroeste y expone la vulnerabilidad de la Flota del Báltico en su propio patio trasero

It’s time to start talking.
The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around.
So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms.
The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥
So here's what happened in today's Stupid Olympics.
There are two people named Dana White.
One is President and CEO of the UFC
The other is Dana W. White, who served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis
Their pictures are below. He's the white guy. She's the Black woman. I'll call them UFC Dana and DOD Dana to make it easier for you.
Suzie Wiles, shortly before being replaced by Count Stephen Miller, advised Trump that his new Press Secretary should be Dana White.
And Trump in all his finite wisdom, immediately assumed the UFC Dana, who has never done anything to prepare him for press secretary, and not DOD Dana, whose entire career has been in preparation for that.
Now you might be saying, "Kelly, not everyone knows about DOD Dana. It's an honest mistake."
But he's NOT just "everyone." He's the President of the United States. And this is a man whose administration has been firing Black people, women, trans people, and so on, insisting that none of them got their job based on merit.
And then he's going to name someone completely unqualified to be Press Secretary because the President is a fan of the UFC.
And he didn't even think to ask anyone. It never even occurred to him to ponder whether UFC Dana is the person he should pick as Press Secretary.
Stupid and incurious are a dangerous combination, and this man is both of those things.
And that got me to thinking about the two Dan Sullivan in Alaska. And I get it now. The man who is too stupid to know the difference between two Dana Whites thinks Alaskans are too stupid to know the difference between two Dan Sullivans.
Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?
Noem: I don’t know.
Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.
You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?
🇺🇸🇷🇺‼️ FORMER U.S. ARMY EUROPE COMMANDER BEN HODGES ACCUSES TRUMP OF BEING UNDER PUTIN’S INFLUENCE, SUGGESTING HE MAY HAVE BEEN “BOUGHT”!
Retired U.S. Lieutenant General Ben Hodges has made a serious allegation against President Donald Trump, claiming that the American president is under pressure from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“It is absolutely clear that President Trump is under some kind of pressure from Vladimir Putin. I think he was simply bought.
Trump now has two options. He can acknowledge his dependence on Putin, or he can try to avoid accountability in the hope that his successor will protect him.
We have never had a perfect president. But having a president who is not only corrupt himself, but also allows others to engage in corruption, is an unimaginable disgrace,” Hodges stated.
🔥 Hodges’ remarks represent a particularly direct accusation from a former senior American military commander.
His allegations raise questions about the Trump administration’s approach to Russia and Ukraine, although no evidence establishing that Putin has bought or controls Trump was provided in the quoted statement.

Voici un élément pour comprendre pourquoi la russie ne tiendra pas longtemps, sauf une augmentation de l’aide américaine aux russes (et non aux Ukrainiens 🙄).
Du 30 octobre au 7 novembre, huit sites pétroliers russes ont été touchés par des frappes ukrainiennes :
❗️30 octobre : raffinerie de Novokouïbychevsk, région de Samara – 8,8 millions de tonnes/an.
❗️31 octobre : complexe de raffinage Bashneft à Oufa – 23,5 millions de tonnes/an.
❗️1er novembre : raffinerie Lukoil de Kstovo – 17 millions de tonnes/an.
❗️2 novembre : terminal pétrolier de Samara, là où se font les mélanges de pétrole Urals pour l’exportation.
❗️3 novembre : raffinerie Slavneft-YANOS de Iaroslavl – 15 millions de tonnes/an. Arrêt complet de la production rapporté.
❗️5 novembre : raffinerie Rosneft de Riazan – 17 millions de tonnes/an.
❗️6 novembre : raffinerie d’Afipskaïa, région de Krasnodar – 6,25 millions de tonnes/an.
❗️7 novembre : raffinerie Rosneft de Saratov – 7 millions de tonnes/an. Plusieurs foyers d’incendie observés
‼️Les sept raffineries visées représentent une capacité nominale cumulée d’environ 95 millions de tonnes/an.
Le changement de stratégie des frappes ukrainiennes permet de détruire les capacités de production plus efficacement.
Plusieurs raffineries 🇷🇺touchées précédemment ne sont plus réparées.
Leurs propriétaires ont compris l’inutilité et le coût infini de ces réparations, car dès la fin des travaux les drones ukrainiens reviennent et tout est à recommencer.
Cette russie de putin sera désintégrée !
🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action.
The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk.
Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections.
The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas.
The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration.
Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment.
With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.
Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken at all?
Governor-elect @AmyActonOH: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.
Her daughter was almost hit stepping off the school bus. Instead of just getting angry, this Texas mom made sure it would never happen again.
After a driver blew past a stopped school bus in Anahuac, Texas, and nearly struck her little girl, she went straight to the school board and pushed for change. Now Anahuac ISD has approved cameras on its buses that catch drivers who ignore the stop sign and send the evidence to police. One parent stood up, and now every kid in that district is a little safer getting on and off the bus. That’s how real change happens in your community: you show up and you speak up.
Should drivers who pass a stopped school bus lose their license?
Trump reportedly screamed at Susie Wiles during a meeting with senior aides on Thursday, berating her over the Republicans’ midterm losses and ordering her to leave the room, according to the Daily Mail.
On Friday, Trump announced that Stephen Miller will replace her as White House chief of staff.
