Has no one involved ever actually been to the Texas of this universe?

“With a size 60 acres larger than Central Park, Stargate is soon to be the largest data center in the world, whether the parched landscape — or its electrical grid — can handle it or not. “

Interior departures mixed due to the showery nature of most of the rain. Northwest Alaska widely near to below normal totals. #akwx #Climate #Summer2025

"I want to commend President Trump for his leadership and vision. He's been talking about missile defense since his first term. He's been leading on this. The Golden Dome vision is completely President Trump's."

Not With a Bang, but With a Truth Social Post The president is rattling a nuclear saber as a distraction.

The President of the United States thinks it is acceptable to use ballistic-missile submarines like toys, objects to be waved around when he wants to distract the public or deflect from bad news, or merely because some Russian official has annoyed him.
