I remember in my 20s I never used to get the flu shot and my father who does religiously got very angry with me and said โ€œyou donโ€™t get it for you, you get it for elderly people and infants.โ€ And I smartened up, immediately.

A female Navy officer was up for a historic title. Then Hegseth stepped in There were just two women in the Navy Special Warfare combat crew as of the 2024 budget year

โ€œThe decision has been widely criticized, w/ sources suggesting the cancellation was due to her gender and is now forcing her into retirement due to the Navy's โ€˜up or outโ€™ policy. This officer was expected to become the first woman in the role and the first woman to command in Naval Special Warfareโ€

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Chinaโ€™s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds Worldโ€™s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "Chinaโ€™s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Trump plans call center in Nashville to deport children โ€“ Baptist News Global ICE plans to escalate the Trump administrationโ€™s child deportation campaign with a call center in Nashville, Tenn.

The Trump regime plans to ramp up its child deportation campaign with a call center in Nashville. It expects to receive 6000 to 7000 calls per day regarding the location of minors.

This is where we're at -- seeking informants for the targeting of children.

Solarโ€™s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Trump grants pardons to Giuliani, Meadows, others linked to 2020 election efforts The pardons include 77 allies tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former Trump attorney Sidney Powell.

Trump just pardoned the people who lied & schemed to keep him in power after losing in 2020.

Giuliani. Meadows. Powell.

Pardoning your own coup attempt is not leadership โ€” itโ€™s a betrayal of justice www.npr.org/2025/11/10/n.... #BlueSky #NewsSky
