China's advances in fusion tech

This doesn't seem to be that big of a deal until you consider the comments section. Somebody said a pulse reactor of this type could work with today's tech.

The political left has all but screwed us forever. Because of their hysterical opposition to nuclear power, this won't ever be allowed in the West. That is, as long as they have the influence over policy the way that they do.

You be the judge

There's plenty of water in Greenland and Anarctica, FWIW.

With respect to the seemingly sudden interest in shit hole places like Panama, Greenland, and Antarctica, the question arose: Just exactly what is driving the new policy? I haven't a friggin' clue.

Instead of attempting to make a post about it, I will link up a couple articles from American Thinker. You be the judge.



1.

The U.S. Should Claim Territory in Antarctica: Recently, the incoming Trump administration has expressed a desire to expand the territory of the United States.

One option for achieving this is the annexation of Marie Byrd Land, a region of Antarctica that is currently unclaimed by any nation a...

Greenland: A Reminder of Why Trump was Elected: I knew supporting President Trump would be unpopular here in my adopted country of Denmark, but that was before he made his recent Greenland remarks and the public relations visit of his son to Greenland.

Since then I have been on full defense mod...



There wasn't anything on Panama, but that MIGHT make sense, if for no other reason than to keep China from taking it over.

High Noon "It's all for nothing"

1/21/25:

This post has a familiar ring to it, so I'm re-posting this response to the Insty post.

Do people actually give a rat's rear end? If they did, maybe this kind of stuff wouldn't happen. Even when their neighborhood burns down, do they care? I wonder about that. I really do.



Quick update: People reading this may not understand what the hell I'm referring to. The insty post was about how the previous administration and the Democrats suppressed the truth about Biden's condition. That's why I wrote that they didn't give a flip. Even if that meant that they were endangering themselves as well as everyone else. They just didn't care, and they said just as much themselves.

I can see both sides of this argument as the drama unfolded.

It seems like these days with the election and all, there really be a lot of people who won't do anything because they just don't care.

Then there's the guy who is standing alone against the bad guys, and nobody wants to help.

I tell you I can see both sides of this.

So what about today? Do people really give a shit? Maybe not. It sure seems that way a lot more often that you'd like to believe. I'd like to believe the way John Wayne depicted in his movie "The Alamo". The part where he gave the Flaca speech was his own viewpoint put into cinema. John Wayne thought that "High Noon" was un-American. He wanted to believe that people had some good in them.

If people let bad shit happen, then how good can they be? People could have stopped Hitler before he plunged the world into World War II, but did nothing. Maybe they were lying the same way they lie now. Or was it something similar to this movie? They just don't give a shit.

Has the Storm Arrived?

Brian C. Joondeph ( At the American Thinker ): In my last column, I wrote about the new Independence Day, Jan. 20. This is when a corrupt and tyrannical administration exits Washington, D.C., for Delaware beaches or unwatchable and dying left-wing cable news shows. Such a housecleaning is long...

When the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 stormed through, it left a lot of dead bodies.  Let us hope that this not that kind of storm that is being referred to here.

 

 

If Trump wants to acquire Greenland, he needs to act immediately

Shawn Hodges at American Thinker:   At a hearing in the U.S. Congress on Tuesday to consider Fox News host Pete Hegseth's candidacy for defense secretary, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) asked him a provocative question: whether Hegseth would approve of the use of force to capture Greenla...

Maybe it would turn out like Alaska, but I wouldn't bet the ranch on it.

Blanket pardons

This is a bit worrisome to me. Sure, I can see it with the J6th people. There may be a few who shouldn't get one, but by and large, this was a set up. The charges were trumped up ( no pun intended ) in order to make it all seem far worse than it really was. Not to mention that the J6'ers were classified more or less as traitors, which was unjust to an extreme.

A long process in order to truly and fairly determine guilt was simply not reasonable. This has already been 4 years, and the party in charge doesn't want to fully and fairly explore what really happened on that day. It's probably because it wouldn't help the narrative that they tried to sell. I'd say that they were unsuccessful in their sales job for their narrative. It is therefore, mostly a pointless exercise to do that now, except for the part in what has up to this point BEEN HIDDEN.

Democrats are hoping to sell themselves as victims ( or probable victims ) of Trump. Biden's blanket pardons will shield them from any legal consequences for their behavior, but the sob story as victims is a bit too much, even for them. They are definitely not victims here. They weren't potential victims. They are definitely suspects in major crimes, and the whole point of these blanket pardons was to sheild them from the proper and just application of the laws.

Of course, the tit-for-tat nature of these pardons may enable the Democrats to claim some sort of equivalence here.

Moreover, we now have the precedence set for more of these in the future. It is almost as if a bad actor can take over and toss the law aside and do whatever comes to mind without regard for consequences. This is dangerous. We're drifting into a danger zone here. I sure hope these people in charge understand that, but since almost half of them are Democrats, I'm not too sure that they give a flip.

The eloquence escapes me
