Karni Guez était à la tête d'un peloton de tankistes féminines du bataillon Caracal, le matin du 7 octobre. Elle commandait 8 soldates, réparties dans un char Merkava et un véhicule d'appui blindé.
Lorsque les alertes ont retenti, elle a compris que ce n'était pas un exercice, et que quelque chose d'anormalement grave avait lieu.
Positionnée près de la frontière avec l'Egypte, elle reçoit l'ordre avec ses combattantes de faire mouvement vers le nord pour se rapprocher des combats.
Sur la route, elles rencontrent un premier groupe de combattants du Hamas dans des pick-up qui ont franchi la frontière et se dirigent vers les kibboutzim avoisinant.
Karni Guez donne l'ordre d'engager immédiatement l'ennemi, et le peloton ouvre le feu, les combats dureront près d'une heure, plus d'une vingtaine de combattants du Hamas seront éliminés, leurs véhicules et arsenal détruits, et plus important encore, la vague d'infiltration sur leur position est refoulée.
Cette menace neutralisée, Guez donne l'ordre de faire mouvement vers le kibboutz H'olit. Son peloton engage alors le combat contre des unités du Hamas lourdement armées qui tentent de pénétrer dans le kibboutz, et parvient à manoeuvrer dans le même temps pour protéger des soldats blessés. Au cours de ces manoeuvres, les soldates élimineront de nombreux combattants du Hamas, par le feu de leur tank, ou en les écrasant lorsqu'ils tenteront de fuir.
La menace sur H'olit neutralisée, Guez choisit de se déplacer vers le kibboutz Sufa, dont le poste militaire a été pris d'assaut par les hommes du Hamas.
Alors que le réseau de communication principal est dysfonctionnel, elle prend position et engage les hommes du Hamas pour reprendre lentement le terrain.
Les soldates de Karni Guez reçoivent par la suite le renfort de commandos Shayetet 13, auxquels elles procurent alors un appui feu précieux pour finalement déraciner et repousser le Hamas, au terme de plus de 6 heures de combat.
Elles entament alors une opération de combat de rue, et de nettoyage maison par maison, bâtiment par bâtiment, pour secourir les civils pris au piège et leur permettre d'évacuer sains et saufs. La bataille de Sufa aura duré en tout plus de 12 heures.
Ce n'est que vers 2 heures du matin, après 19 heures de combats acharnés, à bout de force et de munitions, que Karni Guez ordonne finalement le repli de son peloton vers leur camp de base.
Le Leadership et le sang-froid de Karni, qui a improvisé seule, sans communications et sans ordres son plan de bataille tout au long de la journée, et la combativité, le professionnalisme et l'héroïsme de ses soldates ont sauvé les kibboutzim de H'olit et de Sufa, et concrètement toute la région de H'evel Shalom.
Honneur à Karni et ses soldates, héroïnes d'Israël.
Say her name: Erin Piacenti.
You will hear plenty about her killer, Pamela Cisneros. You will hear less about Erin. That is the pattern. A 32-year-old woman was stabbed to death in Times Square on Monday in an unprovoked attack. She was a Bank of America vice president. She had just celebrated her second wedding anniversary. She had a life in front of her. A woman with a documented history of mental illness was on the street with kitchen knives. Erin is dead. The 68-year-old man Cisneros also stabbed lived.
If the races were reversed in the attack, and Erin wasn’t white, there’d be wall-to-wall media coverage and every Democrat in the city would have a podium. There would be marches. There would be a demand that the city change. Because she was a white woman killed by someone who was not, her name is an afterthought unless people on X say it.
I am livid. I cannot imagine what her family is carrying.
Pray for the Piacenti family. Say Erin’s name. Say it loudly. Erin Piacenti’s life mattered.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
-------------------
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen
Christ Is King!
So in other words, this upstanding intelligent man, Wesley Hunt, went through his life without a victim mentality and did great as a result?
Well done Representative Hunt 💪🏼
It came y'all... My 1st wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow up, did I slay? If y'all don't "yassss queen" you're transphobic. I really don't understand all the hatred, I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies. 💅🏽

MY PERSONAL STORY OF HOW WE SURVIVED THE LEBANESE CIVIL WAR
For seven years, I lived in an 8x10 bomb shelter. No electricity. No water. Starvation rations. That's where my childhood went. Stolen by darkness while I was supposed to be growing up.
Muslims became the majority. Checkpoints appeared. Christians disappeared. Palestinian militias and the PLO flooded Lebanon.
My home was bombed and I was buried under the rubble, marked an infidel and left for dead. After 2.5 months in a hospital where they knew I was wanted dead, there was nowhere to go but underground.
Seven years. Concrete walls. Complete darkness. The constant sound of bombs above us. I didn't know if we'd survive the next day.
This is what religious persecution looks like. This is what happens when a majority decides a minority is less than human.
My entire childhood was stolen. But I survived. And I'm still here to tell you what it costs when faith becomes a death sentence.
Inside an emergency wildfire response drill at Aalo's reactor site in Idaho.
Nuclear sites are engineered to be safe by design, with physical and personnel redundancies at every layer.
Drilling ensure operators execute protocol perfectly.
The Aalo-X CTR, which has now hit criticality, will be used for testing, training, and data collection in the coming years.
Our second reactor system is Aalo-X, a full-scale advanced Extra Modular Reactor (XMR), targeted to wrap constructed by end of 2026 and begin power operations in 2027.
It operates at 30MWt and is designed to produce 10 MWe of electricity via a steam generator and turbine.
Aalo-X is a real "advanced nuclear" power plant: it contains a sodium-to-steam heat exchanger feeding a 10 MWe turbine-generator, air-cooled condensers, and all auxiliary and safety systems.
This makes it a true unit cell of Aalo’s commercial “Pod” reactor product, which can be scaled anywhere from a single 10 MWe module to a 200 MWe multi-unit power station, with 50 MWe being the standard offering.
What we prove with Aalo-X operations at 10 MWe can be multiplied many times over, a plug-and-play reactor building block for future deployments.
Aalo-X uses low-enriched uranium dioxide (≤5% U-235) with a graphite moderator in the core, achieving a thermal neutron spectrum with liquid sodium. The primary reactor vessel is a hybrid loop-pool-type configuration, housing the core, control rods, pumps, and heat exchangers in one sealed tank that offers the ideal configuration for passive safety.
Surrounding that is a secondary sodium loop that transfers heat to the steam generator, keeping water and the radioactive sodium in the reactor distinctly separate.
By integrating proven features like double-walled sodium-steam generator tubes inspired by EBR-II with novel modular fabrication techniques, Aalo-X will mesh nuclear innovation with proven engineering and be a full-scale, full-power modular nuclear power plant.
Control rods are withdrawn incrementally to increase neutron activity in the core. Operators predict in advance the rod position at which criticality will occur - the estimated critical position, or ECP.
When neutrons are being produced at the same rate they're lost to absorption and leakage, the reactor is critical: the fission chain reaction is self-sustaining.
That stable reaction releases heat, which is used to generate electricity. This is the foundation of nuclear power generation.
For over 40 years, America talked about a nuclear comeback.
@POTUS is delivering one.
One year after setting a goal to turn on three U.S. reactors by our nation’s 250th birthday, @ENERGY’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program is turning that goal into reality.
🚨@SecretaryWright on @POTUS’ American Nuclear Renaissance:
"President Trump came in with aggressive goals and an aggressive plan, a thoughtful plan, to restart the American nuclear industry!”
