Hey there rocket man, helpful hint if you are reading, get some professional skin care. For your age, it is not looking healthy.

Family values. Wife of Stephen Miller interviews husband of many. Huxley and Orwell were limited in their thinking.

Drone warfare and defense is rapidly evolving in Ukraine.

The offensive drones are flown by radio at several miles distance, fiber optic cable at up to 50 miles so far, with GPS, and sometimes AI terminal targeting.

Parts of Ukraine are covered in a web of spent fiber.

The Ukrainian drone defense forces recover crashed drones and reverse engineer them to develop their defenses.

The counter measures are radio jamming, systems to cut the fiber optic cable, jamming and anti jamming GPS, and blinding sensors.

Now Russia is flying Starlink terminals on drones. Thanks Eldon!

You can be smart. But with bad information that is useless to extremely bad.

'The National Endowment for Democracy, said Representative Eric Burlison, Republican of Missouri, is “a program that Elon Musk, while leading DOGE, said publicly was a scam; that it was rife with corruption and an evil organization that should be dissolved.”

“President Trump and his administration attempted to do that, and yet here we are trying to fund it,” Mr. Burlison said. The House rejected an amendment to eliminate funding for the nonprofit in a 291-to-127 vote.' NYT 1/14/2026

https://www.koin.com/news/politics/elon ... t-we-know/

Mail in paper ballots are the most secure form of elections, and they increase voter participation which is the only reason they are opposed by the corrupt Republican Party.

The verification of votes is done by the same system as banks. The ballots can be recounted.

While on playa this year, I was chatting with a Ukranian. They said "we are looking for America to be a beacon of democracy for the world." That is what the National Endowment for Democracy does.

The investigation was later expanded after reports denouncing the behaviour of X’s AI chatbot, Grok, which allegedly engaged in Holocaust denial and disseminated sexually explicit deepfakes.
