@jonallendc @natashakorecki It is interesting to note that Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush all lost children; none of them incessantly made their deaths part of their political “brand”.

An open letter to President Trump and Secretary Rollins:

It has come to my attention that you are considering building access roads in our national forests. If you will indulge me with a few minutes of your time I will give you the perspective of somebody whose love of our forests drew me out of an engineering major and into a career in forestry.
This love led me to emphasize the study of Silviculture; the planting and growing of forest trees. I studied and Oregon State University & earned a bachelor of science at the University of California @ Berkeley. At that time these were two of the top three schools of forestry in the country. I took classes in forest ecology, silviculture, & fire science to name a few. What I am sharing with you is not only based on rigorous study of forestry but also practical experience in activities such as forest inventory, plantation surveys, genetic selection of seed trees, & environmental impact surveys under the USFS Roadless Area Review.

This summer I took my grandson to northern Idaho to see the beauty of the glaciated lakes, wildlife, & forests of the Idaho Panhandle. The air was full of smoke from the Spokane fires. It was very disappointing as the beauty was shrouded with a veil of smoke. The people in the area were outraged by the fact that the fires were started by an arsonist. As somebody knowledgeable of forest ecology & fire science; I know better.

Whether you are talking about the Palisades Fire, Spokane Fire, Paradise Fire, or any of the many catastrophic fires in the west the ignition source was not the cause of the catastrophe. It is poor management practices and response time.

Whenever a fire occurs the media talks about the source of ignition. There are many sources of ignition; lightning, camp fires, power tools, arson, etc. These are what starts the fire, they are not what causes the fire to become a catastrophe. A catastrophic fire begins with bad management.

The USFS abandoned their charter in the 1980s and their bad management accelerated with the roadless area regulations. The past system was simple. Foresters identified areas where mature trees were ready for harvest (80 - 140 years old). They contracted with harvesters to harvest the lumber. The contract included the requirement to build access roads, clearing harvest debris to prepare for planting and reduce fire danger. They required only a small fee for the lumber so as to keep the price of construction materials low for builders. The money they took was used for land management, fuel management, & reforestation.

Mr President, you are on the right track. The difference between an 80 acre fire and a catastrophe is response time. When firefighters can reach the fire quickly, they can control it quickly.

Please do not be swayed by the "save the forests" crowd. They are the ones responsible for these terrible fires. They are well meaning but have been sold a fantasy that you can preserve forests. Forests are not static. Forests are dynamic living systems that are ever changing. What preservationists have created is not natural. Unmanaged forests can erupt into uncontrolled infernos very quickly.

Please restore our national forests to their former beauty and productivity. Access roads are a great first step.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

🚨 JUST IN: UK MP Rupert Lowe MIC DROPS the Democrats and globalists after SpaceX caught a rocket on earth

"Elon Musk has contributed more to human progress than every politician who has spent their time harassing him COMBINED. It's not even CLOSE." 🔥

This is the "dumb billionaire" people like AOC talk about!

He's team America, team civilization 🇺🇸

We are finally getting the science-fiction future I was promised as a kid in the 1960s, and I'm here for it.

Today, SpaceX permanently altered the balance of global economics, politics, and modern warfare.

After deploying 26 next-gen Starlink V3 satellites across 14 orbits, Ship 42 survived Mach 25+ reentry and landed cleanly inside Mechazilla’s arms at Starbase.

Here is why every finance minister, regulator, and defense ministry on Earth just woke up to a new reality:

1. Full upper-stage reuse drops orbital launch costs toward fuel-and-maintenance levels. Combined with Terafab’s captive silicon and SpaceX’s 100 GW HJT solar orders for Starmind, Musk can now deploy gigawatt-scale orbital AI data centers and global broadband faster and cheaper than terrestrial hyperscalers stuck in 5-year utility queues.

2. A fully reusable Starship deploying 26+ V3 satellites per flight creates an un-censorable, direct-to-cell global communications and compute layer that bypasses national telecom monopolies, undersea cable chokepoints, and local regulatory vetoes.

3. Modern conflict is now defined by resilient LEO satellite meshes, hypersonic missile tracking, and rapid logistics. Today’s catch proves the U.S. has an industrial heavy-lift engine capable of replenishing entire defense constellations (Starshield) in days—and eventually dropping 100+ tons of military cargo anywhere on Earth in under 45 minutes.

History will mark November 14, 2026 as the day space stopped being an exploration frontier and became the decisive high ground of global power.

Chris Van Hollen is a clown whose main purpose is running from one stunt to the next without any substantive policy ideas or useful contributions.

It would say a lot if Dems wanted to make him the face of their party in the Senate.

Better put the guy who envisioned this in prison. Just because...

🚨 BREAKING: In a JAW-DROPPING first-time ever, Elon Musk's SpaceX just CAUGHT its Starship spacecraft with the tower's chopstick arms, and the team ERUPTS in celebration

"USA! USA!" chants BLASTING 🇺🇸

Starbase, TX has MADE HISTORY! Everyone is stunned!

Fully REUSABLE rockets are here

SpaceX had only caught the Super Heavy BOOSTER before, never the ship itself.

America is WINNING the space race and Elon's team is filled with PURE PATRIOTS

@cspan @PeteButtigieg I thought he was on paternity leave for months. Did anyone at DOT even notice?

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

And like not a single journalist in the media thought to ask a single question about it. They were just like, oh hey cool, he had surrogate babies. Good with us!

This dude disappeared for eight months and nobody noticed while he was artificially breast-feeding.

@DSA_Watch Yes, comrade, that is more just.

He should just think of it as a one-time wealth tax

This political illiterate motherfucker spent his entire life growing up in a foreign country, and now he spends his entire adult life sitting on Twitch for 13 hours a day and getting paid millions to do it, and he thinks the United States is fascist.
