"A man who served in Congress for 20 years isn't wealthy and is still paying the mortgage on his house tells me all I need to know about his character. This man is a patriot and one of the bravest people I've ever heard speak. God bless you sir. I pray for your safety and that people listen to you."

9/11 attack throughout the spring and summer of 2001, contacting Attorney General Ashcroft on August 8, 2001.

participation in the 9/11 attack. His speech noted some persons had been sent to PRISON who might know details Congress was investigating. THAT WAS ME-- barraged by garbage evidence. Example: A diplomat accused of giving me $100 in December had left the United States the previous March. He was 7,000 miles away. When I refused to back down, I was declared "not competent to stand trial" a brutal and Kafkaesque solution to the problem. But absurd in all form."
It’s not the first part of the 46-page ruling [SEE HERE] by Judge James Boasberg, threatening to hold President Trump and Main Justice in criminal contempt of court, that presents the biggest problem; it’s the second part where Boasberg is threatenin…
@Arcalian Since when can judges legislate from the bench? This is NOT their job. The Supes need to sort this out, STAT. Otherwise, the Constitution is meaningless.
Went to a gun shop a few days ago just to look at their inventory, and besides an SKS and a lot of rounds for it that someone brought in, all of their bolt actions just look so... Boring
Came to a huge realization yesterday: empathy without action is just observation of abuse. It doesn’t DO anything about the abuse. It doesn’t mean a person is standing with the victim, just that they are relieved to not be in the victim’s place.
I needed to understand this to move forward on multiple levels.
During his historic comeback campaign in 2024, President Trump vowed to close the book on a dark chapter in America’s constitutional history: the weaponization of America’s own government to silence, censor, and suppress the free speech of ordinary Americans. The American people responded to this promise by giving President Trump a landslide victory last November.
Everything this administration has done since then has been laser-focused on fulfilling the promises made during that campaign. Today, it is my pleasure to announce the State Department is taking a crucial step toward keeping the president’s promise to liberate American speech by abolishing forever the body formerly known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC).
I'm laughing at our Superme Court. They are being owned by the administration. Everyone is laughing at you, SCOTUS. Congratulations, you successfully shown you are irrelevant!
Honestly, it feels like the system’s supposed balance of power is completely off right now—kind of like trying to play Geometry Dash Lite when the game’s physics suddenly stop making sense.

„But because the Trump administration itself did not publicly release the bombshell letter, #Harvard had time to fine-tune a counterattack, including a glossy website outlining its contributions to society. It was a rare example of a university upstaging the Trump administration’s campaign, which has often hinged on unpredictability.“ nytimes.com/2025/04/15/us/why-…
The Trump administration will freeze over $2 billion in federal funds because Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands. Harvard leaders believed saying no was worth the risk.

In the 1980's, I visited with Ross Perot's staff & took Mr. Perot a huge stack of documents proving how dire the circumstances were in the public schools, colleges, & universities. Since education is again an issue before the American people, I thought you would be interested in what Ross Perot said about education. I believe I did have an impact on his comments below.
"Expand school year from 180 days to at least 210.
Our children attend elementary and high school for 180 days a year, while their counterparts in Japan and Germany attend school for 243 days and 240 days, respectively. Can our children learn as much in 180 days as their children learn in 240 days? To ask the question is to answer it. If we were to increase our school year from 180 days to 210 days-still ...
behind many nations-that would be the equivalent of two more years of school by the time a student finishes the 12th grade.
Literacy & competency testing for teachers
Perot went after teachers, saying the only people who get "paid extra for staying alive" are seniority-based teachers. "The dumbest folks in college are studying to be teachers." As far as he was concerned, 4 out of 5 newly graduated teachers were "incompetent," and he proposed literacy and competency tests. That prompted the
largest teachers' union to walk out of talks with him.
More money into same system produces more of same failures
I’ve been personally involved in education for years. I know the territory. In 1983, I headed a committee to overhaul the Texas public school system to improve results. Against fierce opposition from entrenched interests, we were able to make considerable headway. I know it can be done. From the perspective of those years spent on ...
Ai Summary : In the last five years, Texas has become the renewable energy pacesetter in the US, with wind, solar, and batteries accounting for about 90% of new electricity capacity. This transformation occurred due to the state's free market electricity system, which has kept prices low and production booming. However, conservative Texas legislators are now considering bills that could hinder clean energy development. One bill, Senate Bill 819, would impose stricter regulations on renewable energy siting than those for oil and gas, with setbacks that are much larger than for traditional energy sources. Another bill, Senate Bill 388, would require new additions to the Texas grid to be at least 50% dispatchable, effectively mandating the inclusion of gas-fired power plants. This requirement would limit the growth of the Texas economy, as it is impossible to build enough gas capacity to keep up with the state's unprecedented load growth. To address the growing demand for electricity, Texas needs to focus on energy efficiency and demand response. The state has made some progress in this area, with the establishment of the Aggregated Distributed Energy Resource Task Force and a pilot program for virtual power plants (VPPs). However, more needs to be done to integrate these resources into the grid and create a market mechanism for their value. Senate Bill 6, initially intended to help manage large loads coming to Texas, has lost some of its promising features. The bill still includes provisions for emergency response service, which would create a more organized system for load reduction and emergency generation during times of grid stress. However, it no longer includes incentives for speed to interconnect for new clean energy projects, which would have encouraged the development of renewable energy and storage. In summary, Texas is at a crossroads. The state's free market electricity system has led to impressive renewable energy growth, but conservative legislators are now considering bills that could hinder this progress. To ensure continued economic growth and grid reliability, Texas needs to focus on energy efficiency, demand response, and the integration of distributed resources. This will require visionary leadership and a commitment to creating a market mechanism that values these resources for their unique contributions to the grid.
Sunday morning I took a walk in a #forest. Made some #photos; here's five of them.
For some time, I was considering dropping one or splitting the post; all because #mastodon for no reason imposes arbitrary limit of 4 photos per post and silently drops “excessive” ones. Even though I do use different software, and I can attach more, you will probably see only four.
And then I thought: fuck it. Not my problem. There are five.
Cybersecurity researchers have detailed four different vulnerabilities in a core component of the Windows task scheduling service that could be exploited by local attackers to achieve privilege escalation and erase logs to cover up evidence of malicious activities.

Chemicals found in common food packaging plastics like cling film and snack pouches may interfere with the body’s natural 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, increasing the risk of sleep disorders, diabetes, immune problems and even cancer, new research shows.
Published this month in Environment International, the study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology is the first to show that everyday polyurethane (PUR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics contain compounds that can disrupt the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) by quickly interfering with a specific cell signal (A1R) linked to sleep and light.
Unlike previous research that focused on slow, hormone-related effects, this study reveals a faster, direct impact on key “clock genes” through a different kind of biological pathway. That means plastic chemicals may contribute to serious health problems such as diabetes or cancers in more ways than scientists know, the researchers say.
