President Declares "Freedom at War with Fear"
President Bush addressed a joint session of Congress and the American people tonight, stating: "We are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom."
These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life.With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us, because we stand in their way

Global CO2 emissions plateau
Global CO2 emissions from the power sector fell marginally by 12 MtCO2 (-0.2%) to 6,963 MtCO2 in the first half of 2025. The decline was possible because solar and wind power exceeded demand growth and led to a slight fall in fossil fuel use. Without solar and wind growth, emissions would have risen by an estimated 236 MtCO2 (+3.9%) globally, which is equivalent to almost all emissions (251 MtCO2) from Africa in H1-2025.
At the country level, there was significant variation. Among the four economies that account for the majority of global emissions (64%), emissions fell in China (-46 MtCO2, -1.7%) and India (-24 MtCO2, -3.6%), as clean electricity outpaced growth in demand in those countries.
In contrast, emissions rose in the EU (+13 MtCO2, +4.8%), where strong growth in solar was outweighed by shortfalls in wind, hydro and bioenergy, leading to higher gas and coal generation. Emissions also rose in the US (+33 MtCO2, +4.3%), as clean electricity growth was smaller than demand growth, leading to an increase in coal generation, which was exacerbated by gas-to-coal switching.
A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased.....

For your professional goals, make a habit of just steadily putting points on the board, consistently doing a little bit steadily, even if youβre bad at it sometimes. Youβll be amazed at how quickly successes start to compound. Donβt let your job get in the way of your career.

Fed. Bill Would Let Judges Be Sued Over Repeat Offenders
By Emily Sawicki
A federal lawmaker from North Carolina has proposed a bill to create a pathway for crime victims and their families to sue judges found to have acted with "intentional disregard for public safety" by releasing individuals convicted of violent crime who go on to re-offend.
OK and how about we also let people sue judges who wrongfully convict them, or who sign search warrants for the wrong house, or....
Or how about we respect courts and accept that we live in an imperfect world?
Never mind...
