Satellites Detect Seasonal Pulses in Earth’s Glaciers

Dec 03, 2025

Malaspina Glacier in southeastern Alaska is the planet’s largest piedmont glacier, with ice that spills from the Saint Elias Mountains’ higher elevations and spreads out like pancake batter onto the coastal plain.

Though it might appear static, the glacier is “alive” with movement throughout the year, typically speeding up in spring and slowing to a crawl by winter.

A new analysis by NASA scientists shows that glaciers around the world display all kinds of patterns in seasonal movement—some similar to Malaspina and some vastly different.

For decades, researchers have documented seasonal speedups and slowdowns in glacier flow, typically focusing on individual glaciers or specific regions.

By analyzing millions of optical and radar satellite images collected between 2014 and 2022, glaciologists Chad Greene and Alex Gardner at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have mapped this variability on a global scale.

The new perspective reveals how glaciers in different regions respond to seasonal warming and may help identify which ones are most vulnerable to a warming climate. Their analysis was published in November 2025 in Science.

Glacier speed is measured by tracking the motion of deep cracks called crevasses and surface debris in sequences of satellite images collected over time.

Crevasse fields and other surface patterns provide unique glacial "fingerprints" that scientists track using an algorithm developed at JPL as part of the ITS_LIVE project.

The team used this technique to map glacier flow at high resolution globally, then analyzed subtle changes in glacier speed to understand how glaciers respond to warming that occurs between winter and summer.

“Earth has over 200,000 glaciers, and we’re watching all of them closely,” said Gardner, the study’s coauthor. “It’s no surprise that with this much data, a pattern started to emerge.”

The timing of glacier speedups is driven by the onset of the melt season and by processes at the glacier bed that reduce friction with the underlying ground.

“Glaciers are like rivers of ice that flow down mountains toward the sea,” said Greene, the study's lead author.

“When warm air melts the upper surface of a glacier, all that meltwater can make its way down to the base of the ice and act like a lubricant, causing the glacier to speed up.”

The researchers observed the strongest seasonal accelerations at high northern latitudes: in Alaska, glaciers moved fastest in spring, whereas in Arctic regions of Europe and Russia, they typically reached their top speeds in summer or early fall.

The animation above shows parts of Malaspina (also called Sit' Tlein) beginning to pick up speed in early spring, when the first meltwater starts draining through cracks in the ice and down to the glacier’s base.

At this point, conduits that form in the base are still small, so the meltwater can build up pressure and reduce friction, allowing the glacier to slide more easily over uneven ground.

Through late summer, as the seasonal surge of meltwater carves larger and deeper channels under the glacier, the pressure drops and friction increases, causing the glacier to slow down.

Other glaciers display different patterns. One example is the Barnes Ice Cap on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic—a remnant of the Laurentide Ice Sheet that once covered much of North America.

This glacier is a classic example of summer acceleration, producing little meltwater for most of the year, then speeding up when meltwater finally arrives.

In contrast, seasonal changes unfold more gradually at Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram range of Pakistan. There, the speedup begins high on the glacier and slowly propagates downward as the melting season progresses.

Understanding glacier responses to seasonal warming allows researchers to better anticipate how glaciers will respond to climate change.

The team found that glacier flow accelerates with every degree of warming and that seasonal flow patterns are linked to longer-term glacier change, meaning spring and summer speedups can serve as a vital sign that indicates a glacier’s resilience to prolonged warming.

“We wanted to check the health of Earth’s glaciers, so we measured their pulse,” Greene said. “Now we just need to keep an eye on their temperature.”

NASA’s Fly Foundational Robots Demo to Bolster In-Space Infrastructure

Dec 02, 2025

NASA and industry partners will fly and operate a commercial robotic arm in low Earth orbit through the Fly Foundational Robots mission set to launch in late 2027.

This mission aims to revolutionize in-space operations, a critical capability for sustainably living and working on other planets.

By enabling this technology demonstration, NASA is fostering the in-space robotics industry to unlock valuable tools for future scientific discovery and exploration missions. 

“Today it’s a robotic arm demonstration, but one day these same technologies could be assembling solar arrays, refueling satellites, constructing lunar habitats, or manufacturing products that benefit life on Earth,” said Bo Naasz, senior technical lead for In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) in the Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“This is how we build a dominant space economy and sustained human presence on the Moon and Mars.”

The Fly Foundational Robots (FFR) mission will leverage a robotic arm from small business Motiv Space Systems capable of dexterous manipulation, autonomous tool use, and walking across spacecraft structures in zero or partial gravity.

This mission could enable ways to repair and refuel spacecraft, construct habitats and infrastructure in space, maintain life support systems on lunar and Martian surfaces, and serve as robotic assistants to astronauts during extended missions.

Advancing robotic systems in space could also enhance our understanding of similar technologies on Earth across industries including construction, medicine, and transportation.

To demonstrate FFR’s commercial robotic arm in space, NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate is contracting with Astro Digital to provide a hosted orbital test through the agency’s Flight Opportunities program.

Guest roboticists will have the opportunity to contribute to the FFR mission, and participation will allow them to use Motiv’s robotic platform as a testbed and perform unique tasks.

NASA will serve as the inaugural guest operator and is currently seeking other interested U.S. partners to participate.

The future of in-space robotics relies on testing robotic operations in space prior to launching more complex and extensive servicing and refueling missions.

Through FFR, the demonstration of Motiv’s robotic arm operations in space will begin to push open the door to endless possibilities.

NASA’s PUNCH Tracks Comet Discovered by SOHO Spacecraft

December 2, 2025

From August to October, NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission tracked comet 2025 R2 (SWAN) — one of the thousands of comets discovered in images from the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft, a joint mission between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) that launched 30 years ago Tuesday.

Capturing a new image of the comet every few minutes, PUNCH’s observations may be the longest any comet has been tracked with such frequency, says the mission’s principal investigator, Craig DeForest of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

“Other comets have been tracked at once-per-day cadence for years,” DeForest said. “What’s new here is the few-minute cadence of observation.”

Comet 2025 R2 (SWAN) was first spotted by Ukrainian amateur astronomer Vladimir Bezugly on Sept. 11 in images taken by the SWAN (Solar Wind Anisotropies) instrument aboard SOHO.

Over 5,000 comets have been discovered — many by citizen scientists — in SOHO images over its three decades of operation.

After comet SWAN’s discovery, scientists looked to see whether PUNCH had also spotted the comet and found it in PUNCH images taken as early as Aug. 7.

Comet SWAN continued to appear in PUNCH’s field of view until early October, with the mission capturing a new image of it every four minutes through Oct. 5.

Over that time, PUNCH watched the comet’s tail grow, shrink, and flicker under the influence of the solar wind, a never-ending stream of particles flowing outward from the Sun.

The PUNCH mission is designed to study how the solar wind travels out from the Sun and influences the planets, such as Earth, and other objects, such as comets, throughout the solar system.

“Watching the Sun’s effects from multiple vantage points — and with different types of instruments — is what gives us a complete picture of the space environment,” said Gina DiBraccio, heliophysicist and acting director of the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

“We use these same tools to track and analyze how space weather impacts our astronauts, our spacecraft, and our technology here on Earth.”

Southwest Research Institute, based in San Antonio, leads the PUNCH mission and operates the mission’s four spacecraft from its facilities in Boulder, Colorado.

The mission is managed by Space Science Mission Operations at NASA Goddard for the Science Mission Directorate at the agency’s headquarters in Washington.

Missouri Locks the Web, Requires ID Check for “Harmful” Sites. 25 States Have Age Verification Laws

As of November 30, 2025, a new law was instituted in Missouri requiring anyone wishing to visit websites containing “harmful” adult material to prove they are at least 18 years old by showing ID. The law not only restricts access, it also raises serious questions about how much personal data people must surrender just to browse freely.

In Missouri, any site or app where over one-third of the material is classified as “harmful to minors” must block entry until users confirm their age. The companies are permitted to check age through digital ID systems, government-issued documents such as driver’s licenses or passports, or existing transactional data that proves a person’s age. Many people are turning to VPNs.

Lawmakers are increasingly willing to tie access to personal identification, similar to China’s social credit score system.

NASA Tests Drones in Death Valley, Preps for Martian Sands and Skies

Dec 02, 2025

Next-generation drone flight software is just one of 25 technologies for the Red Planet that the space agency funded for development this year.

When NASA engineers want to test a concept for exploring the Red Planet, they have to find ways to create Mars-like conditions here on Earth. Then they test, tinker, and repeat.

That’s why a team from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California took three research drones to California’s Death Valley National Park and the Mojave Desert earlier this year.

They needed barren, featureless desert dunes to hone navigation software. Called Extended Robust Aerial Autonomy, the work is just one of 25 projects funded by the agency’s Mars Exploration Program this past year to push the limits of future technologies.

Similar dunes on Mars confused the navigation algorithm of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter during several of its last flights, including its 72nd and final flight on the Red Planet.

“Ingenuity was designed to fly over well-textured terrain, estimating its motion by looking at visual features on the ground. But eventually it had to cross over blander areas where this became hard,” said Roland Brockers, a JPL researcher and drone pilot.

“We want future vehicles to be more versatile and not have to worry about flying over challenging areas like these sand dunes.”

Whether it’s new navigation software, slope-scaling robotic scouts, or long-distance gliders, the technology being developed by the Mars Exploration Program envisions a future where robots can explore all on their own — or even help astronauts do their work.

Desert drones

NASA scientists and engineers have been going to Death Valley National Park since the 1970s, when the agency was preparing for the first Mars landings with the twin Viking spacecraft.

Rubbly volcanic boulders on barren slopes earned one area the name Mars Hill, where much of this research has taken place.

Almost half a century later, JPL engineers tested the Perseverance rover’s precision landing system by flying a component of it in a piloted helicopter over the park.

For the drone testing, engineers traveled to the park’s Mars Hill and Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes in late April and early September. The JPL team received only the third-ever license to fly research drones in Death Valley.

Temperatures reached as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius); gathered beneath a pop-up canopy, team members tracked the progress of their drones on a laptop.

The test campaign has already resulted in useful findings, including how different camera filters help the drones track the ground and how new algorithms can guide them to safely land in cluttered terrain like Mars Hill’s.

The bacteria that won’t wake up: NASA discovers new bacteria “playing dead”

December 2, 2025

New research conducted on a NASA-discovered bacterium shows the microbe is capable of entering an extreme dormant state, essentially “playing dead” to survive in some of the cleanest environments on Earth.

The finding could potentially reshape how scientists think about microbial survival on spacecraft and the challenges of preventing contamination during missions to space.

Preventing contamination matters because it helps keep space missions safe, while ensuring that any signs of life spotted elsewhere in the Solar System can be trusted.

“It shows that some microbes can enter ultra-low metabolic states that let them survive extremely austere environments, including clean rooms that naturally select for the hardiest organisms,” said Nils Averesch, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the University of Florida’s Department of Microbiology and Cell Science and a member of the Astraeus Space Institute.

“The fact that this bacterium can intentionally suspend its metabolism makes survival on spacecraft surfaces or during deep-space cruise more plausible than previously assumed.”

In a recent report, scientists detailed the enigmatic Tersicoccus phoenicis, a rare type of bacteria found in the cleanest rooms where spacecraft are assembled and first discovered at NASA and European Space Agency facilities.

This bacteria can remain inactive even when conditions improve, making it difficult to detect through standard sterilization checks.

The organism does not form spores, a trait usually associated with extreme durability, which makes its resilience especially surprising.

“The fact that this bacterium can intentionally suspend its metabolism makes survival on spacecraft surfaces or during deep-space cruise more plausible than previously assumed.” —Nils Averesch

“What stood out most to me is that these microbes don’t form spores,” Averesch said. “Seeing a non-spore-former achieve comparable robustness through metabolic shutdown alone suggests there are additional, underappreciated survival mechanisms in bacteria that we haven’t fully characterized.”

Averesch emphasized that while the findings raise important questions for planetary protection, they do not necessarily mean Earth microbes could survive on planets like Mars.

“Anything directly exposed on the Martian surface is unlikely to survive,” he said. “But in sheltered micro-niches — subsurface cracks, porous regolith or beneath rocks — dormant persistence becomes more plausible.”

A recent National Geographic article highlights more on this new finding.

Averesch is leading NASA-supported research at Kennedy Space Center exploring whether microbes can be used to biologically recycle plastic waste generated during long-duration space missions. The project is part of a statewide partnership that strengthens collaborations between UF and NASA to support the Moon-to-Mars program.

Comedian's astronaut application spawns witty rejection letter from 'NASA' and we're in stitches

December 3, 2025

Despite knowing he didn't meet the requirements, the comedian reportedly applied for fun, and the response he got was nothing short of amusing.

Daydreaming about achieving something completely out of reach is a fun and harmless fantasy for many.

Comedian and writer Alex Falcone attempted to get a hold of one such far-reaching dream and was left with a hilarious story for the ages. In his Medium blog,

"The Weekly Weep," Falcone wrote about the rib-tickling "NASA Rejection Letter" he allegedly received after he applied to be an astronaut.

Every four years, NASA opens the door for thousands of applicants trying to get into the class of astronauts.

The comedian supposedly wanted to see if he would get into the class of 2021.

The letter kicked off with the classic line, "We regret to inform you that your application to our Astronaut candidate program does not meet our stated qualifications."

But what came next was absolute fun. Firstly, Falcone's mention of "have seen Masters of the Universe and think that should count" in the section where the agency expected a "Master's degree" was highlighted.

"To be generous, we looked over your provided transcripts and it seems you haven't taken a science class since 10th-grade chemistry, in which you received a C+.

You even took the time to note that your teacher that year was an idiot and that doesn't help your case with us," the response reportedly stated.

In the place of "relevant skills," Falcone said he "enjoyed the scene in Apollo 13 where they 'made a fu**ed up air filter out of socks'" and added that he liked "space Legos almost as much as the pirate Legos."

His preference for pirate Legos over space ones got the response, "That doesn't make sense. Perhaps you can apply to be a pirate." Then, it was pointed out that Falcone took a dig at the other "nerds" who were applying.

"The application was precisely to show us why we should hire you and also, the very people who are reading this are 'those nerds,'" the letter read. It also warned the comedian not to mention "have always wanted to poop into a vacuum cleaner" in future job applications.

The "recruiters" didn't find Falcone's "always sit in the front seat because I get a little motion sick" confident enough for a pilot. They also quipped at his obsession with food. "You used a whole section to order food? Seriously?" they asked.

"NOTE: I have been instructed to notify you that we do carry 'astronaut ice cream' in all our gift shops AND ONLINE. Since that was '90% of the reason' you're applying, perhaps you can satisfy yourself that way," the letter added.

Then came the generous clarifications for Falcone's cheeky questions about the organization. "No, astronauts do not currently get a 'plus one' to the moon.

Yes, you would be required to notify your wife if you were going to the moon. I'm sorry she 'is a worrier,'" the list began.

The comedian's request for "no meetings before noon" and his suggestions for a new name for the space agency, including "Space Ninjas," were denied.

"We have no idea what you mean by 'Does riding a rocket feel similar to riding a washing machine?' Sorry, "Yes, we are sure there is only one moon," and "No, we would not be personally hurt if you apply to the Russian space program at the same time.

Good luck with that," were some of the clarifications. In the end, the "recruiters" emphasized that they would appreciate it if Falcone didn't apply again. "We hope your passion for the industry finds a good (and safe) outlet," the letter ended.

People love dreaming big, even when the dream is way out of reach, because the fantasy itself is fun. A study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology examined how people engage in positive fantasies about ambitious or far-fetched goals.

The researchers found that indulging in unrealistic fantasies can be emotionally rewarding in the moment because it allows people to mentally "experience" a desired future without needing it to be attainable.

Apparently, this hilarious letter was written as a joke by Falcone himself, he revealed to Bored Panda. Lucky for NASA, they didn't have to go through the pain of reading his application!

Zelensky's Meeting With US Envoy Cancelled After No Real Progress In 5-Hour Moscow Talks

The Russian-US negotiations on the Ukraine conflict concluded in the Kremlin after some five hours of intense negotiations, which had reportedly gone late into the night. Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov indicated the US side of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner presented four more documents concerning the peace settlement during the Kremlin talks; however, a sticking point remains territory.

"Some American proposals are acceptable to Russia, while others are not," the aide stated bluntly. Crucially he at one point responded to a question of whether peace had become closer or further following these talks, to which Ushakov responded, "Definitely not further."

"Territorial issues were discussed specifically, without which we do not see a resolution of the crisis," Ushakov told reporters immediately after the meeting. "Of course, the enormous prospects for future economic co-operation between the two countries were also discussed."

This latter point of cooperation between the US and Russia has "vast potential" - Ushakov said, suggesting the Kremlin doesn't see the peace deal as where it wants it to be in terms of territorial settlement. The US-backed draft peace plan offers that Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk would be recognized "as de facto Russian, including by the United States." However, Ukraine and other countries would not need to recognize Russian control by law, but Moscow legally sees them as part of the Russian Federation after the wartime 'popular referendums' held in the fall of 2022.

The draft also calls to freeze the front lines of fighting where they are in the southern oblasts of Kherson and Zaporizhzia, with Russia having relinquish other areas such as the Kharkiv and Sumy regions in the northeast, as well the Mykolaiv region in the south. Overall the lengthy session was deemed by the Russian side as "productive" - with Ushakov also saying "We discussed the substance, not specific wording and solutions. The parties see enormous potential for cooperation."

"As for a possible meeting at the presidential level, that will depend on the progress we’re able to make through the persistent work carried out by our aides and representatives," Ushakov said. And more on US-Russia relations: "But this time, we emphasized that if we genuinely want to work together — and there are enormous opportunities — then it’s time to show some real commitment," the Kremlin official said.

ICE "Strike Teams" Deployed To Minneapolis After Bombshell Somali Welfare-Fraud Report Linked To Overseas Terror

Investigative journalist Christopher Rufo, whose City Journal expose revealed how Minnesota's Somali community stole billions in taxpayer funds, with money ultimately flowing to a foreign terrorist network, notes that just weeks after his bombshell report, ICE has now mobilized in Minneapolis.

"How it started ... How it's going," Rufo wrote on X on Tuesday evening.

Rufo cited a report from the New York Times that said the Trump administration launched a massive ICE enforcement operation in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, set to target hundreds of illegal alien Somalis.

According to an official with knowledge of the deportation operation and documents obtained by the NYT, about 100 federal agents have been deployed to the Minneapolis-St. Paul region as part of a new "strike team" to deport Somali illegal aliens who are a net drain on public resources.

Last week, Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity," adding, "I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota."

During a news conference on Tuesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey's loyalties were with the Somalis…

Rufo commented on the news conference by saying, "Incredible, the Somalis in Jacob Frey's city stole billions of dollars in taxpayer money, and all he can do is mindlessly repeat 'Orange Man Bad.'"

A martian butterfly flaps its wings

03/12/2025

Is it an insect? A strange fossil? An otherworldly eye, or even a walnut? No, it’s an intriguing kind of martian butterfly spotted by ESA’s Mars Express.

Insects aren’t commonplace on Mars, so it’s no surprise that this is no butterfly as we know it. It’s actually a kind of crater, formed as a space rock hurtled towards the Red Planet and collided with its red-brown surface.

The collision caused two distinct lobes of material to be flung outwards to the crater’s north and south, creating two outstretched ‘wings’ of raised ground.

The wings of this particular butterfly crater are rather undefined and irregular, but can be seen extending to the lower left and upper right of the main walnut-esque crater shown here.

This crater measures roughly 20 km from east to west and 15 km from north to south. It lies in the Idaeus Fossae region of Mars, in the planet’s northern lowlands.

The crater and its wings can be seen in more detail in a new video produced by the Mars Express HRSC team, which simulates what it would be like to slowly circle it – and its surroundings – from above.

Another example of a butterfly crater, this time in Mars’s southern highlands, is highlighted in Mars Express’s images of Hesperia Planum.

Unusual shapes

Typically we would expect material to be thrown outwards in all directions by a crater-causing collision.

However, we know that the space rock that sculpted this martian butterfly came in at a low, shallow angle, resulting in the interesting and atypical shapes seen here: the butterfly’s ‘body’ – the main crater itself – is unusually oval in shape, and the wings are irregular.

Some of the debris forming the wings (mostly seen just above the crater, and labelled in the image below – which is annotated if you click on it) also appears smoother and more rounded, almost reminiscent of a mudslide.

This indicates that it has mixed with water or ice from under the surface of Mars – ice that perhaps melted during the crater impact itself. This is known more technically as ‘fluidised’ material, and is seen often on Mars.

Crumpling lava

The butterfly crater may draw the eye, but it’s far from the only feature of interest here.

The rest of the frame is largely flat, lending the spotlight to a cluster of steep, flat-topped rocky outcrops – known as mesas – to the left (shown in the zoom in perspective view below).

The higher patches of ground here have been slowly worn away, with the remaining hills being those that have managed to resist erosion over time.

The mesas stand out clearly against the tan-coloured surroundings due to the layers of dark material that have been exposed along their edges. As on Earth, this material is probably rich in magnesium and iron, and created by volcanism.

This region likely saw quite a bit of volcanism in the past, with lava and ash deposits building up over time and being buried by other material through the years.

Signs of lava can be seen here in ‘wrinkle ridges’: folded patterns that likely formed here when lava flowed, cooled, and contracted, causing the surface to crumple.

The bigger picture

This patch of Mars gets its name from Idaeus Fossae, a broad system of valleys lying a few kilometres to the west (top) of frame.

One such valley can be seen to the right (north) of the image here below, and other less prominent valleys and ridges are scattered across the frame.

As labelled in the associated context map, most of Idaeus Fossae is found just next to a sharp, 2-km-high cliff-face marking the edge of the Tempe Terra plateau. Mars Express has been capturing and exploring Mars’s many landscapes since it launched in 2003.

The orbiter has mapped the planet’s surface at unprecedented resolution, in colour, and in three dimensions for over two decades now, returning insights that have drastically changed our understanding of our planetary neighbour (read more about Mars Express and its findings here).

China's 1st reusable rocket explodes in dramatic fireball during landing after reaching orbit on debut flight

December 3, 2025

The first test flight of Landspace's Zhuque-3 rocket ended in a fiery explosion after successfully reaching orbit.

Chinese company Landspace launched its 216-foot (66-meter) stainless steel Zhuque-3 rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert in northern China on Tuesday (Dec. 2).

The reusable, methane-liquid-oxygen-powered rocket successfully placed its expendable second stage in orbit, according to a statement from Landspace.

But after making a successful reentry, the rocket's first stage booster appeared to lose an engine during its landing burn and catch fire before crashing into the ground in a spectacular explosion.

"An anomaly occurred as the first stage approached the designated recovery zone. No personnel safety issues occurred," Landspace wrote on social media. The company is now investigating the anomaly to discover its root cause.

Despite the landing failure, Landspace is hailing the test flight as a success, adding in its social media post that "China's first rocket recovery attempt achieved its expected technical objectives."

These include verifying Zhuque-3's recovery system, engine throttling, and attitude control. Stills from videos of the crash landing show that the first stage landed within just meters of its target landing zone.

Zhuque-3 resembles SpaceX's dependable Falcon 9 rocket; both rockets feature a reusable first stage and an expendable upper stage and are powered by nine engines.

Zhuque-3's Tianque-12A engines are powered by a mixture of liquid methane and liquid oxygen (methalox), however, while the Falcon 9's Merlin engines burn liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene.

Zhuque-3's payload capacity is similar to Falcon 9's as well, able to loft 40,350 pounds (18,300 kilograms) to low Earth orbit (LEO). Falcon 9, meanwhile, can send 50,265 pounds (22,800 kg) to LEO.

A Landspace previous rocket, Zhuque-2, became the world's first methane-powered rocket to reach orbit in July 2023.

SpaceX's Raptor engine, which powers its Super Heavy booster and its Starship second stage vehicle, also burns liquid methane and liquid oxygen.

The Zhuque rockets are named for the vermillion bird from Chinese mythology that represents the fire element in Taoist five-element cosmological system.

A 'super-puff' exoplanet is losing its atmosphere, and the James Webb Space Telescope had a look

December 3, 2025

Astronomers have spotted a distant world "shedding" its atmosphere into space in real time, creating a giant companion cloud of gas that travels ahead of the planet as it orbits its star.

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an unprecedented view of helium gas evaporating from a distant, giant exoplanet called WASP-107b.

The escaping gas stretches across a distance that's nearly 10 times the planet's radius and in fact precedes the planet along its path around its parent star.

This discovery reveals new clues about how the atmospheres of giant planets like WASP-107b can slowly evaporate under intense radiation from their host star, according to a statement.

"The James Webb Space Telescope has captured helium escape from this planet for the first time, and it is the most confident detection of pre-transit helium absorption for any exoplanet," Vigneshwaran Krishnamurthy, lead author of the study from McGill's Trottier Space Institute, said in the statement.

WASP-107b is classified as a "super-puff" exoplanet with a radius nearly as large as Jupiter's but only a fraction of its mass. Residing seven times closer to its star than Mercury is to the sun, WASP-107b's low density makes it especially vulnerable to atmospheric escape.

The helium exosphere produced by the evaporated gas passes in front of the star 1.5 hours before WASP-107b's passage, or transit, begins — a phenomenon called pre-transit helium absorption, according to the statement.

Using the JWST's Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS), the team detected the helium's infrared signature streaming ahead of the planet, effectively creating its own mini-transit, which is observed as a slight dimming of the star's brightness before the planet itself transits.

While helium escape has been observed on other exoplanets, WASP-107b marks the first time astronomers have watched an exoplanet shedding its atmosphere in such real time and with such detail.

The findings also reveal clues about the planet's history. Alongside the helium, the JWST detected water vapor high in the atmosphere but no methane, suggesting vigorous mixing that brings hotter, methane-poor gas upward.

This chemical pattern, combined with the extreme atmospheric escape, supports the idea that WASP-107b likely formed farther from its star and migrated inward, where intense heating began peeling away its outer layers, according to the statement.

"The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere of WASP-107b is larger than what we would expect if it formed on its current close-in orbit," Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, co-author of the study, who modelled the NIRISS transmission spectrum, said in the statement.

"The presence of another planet, WASP-107c, much farther out than WASP-107b, could have played a role in this migration."

Watching a planet actively losing its atmosphere provides insight into how worlds change over time and how some may be stripped down to a bare rocky or icy core.

Self-Powered Soft Robots from China Could Transform Deep-Sea, Space, and Wearable Technology

December 3, 2025

New research from Zhejiang University could reshape the future of robotics and wearable technology by enabling self-powered soft robots that generate power solely from ambient motion.

Inspired by the lymphatic system, this innovation relies on a soft, flexible pump that mimics the crucial part of the human body that circulates fluid without relying on a single central pump.

Our bodies use this distributed network of vessels and one-way valves to support a range of everyday activities, including walking and breathing.

“We wanted to address one of the biggest limitations in soft robotics today: the dependence on heavy, rigid power systems,” said Professor Wei Tang, a lead author of the study, in a statement.

“Our goal was to create a pump that is soft, lightweight, and capable of operating autonomously, just like biological tissues.”

Future Space and Sea Missions

The team’s research is important because it addresses one of the most significant limitations in robotics and wearables: the need for heavy batteries or external power sources.

Mimicking the human lymphatic system allows the creation of robotic systems that can flow autonomously.

Such technologies could lead to wearable smart gloves that regulate temperature and circulation when a person moves, as well as robots that can perform tasks in hazardous environments, such as deep-sea exploration or even outer space.

The Design

Using low-cost 3D printing techniques, the team created pumps in various shapes and sizes, making them customizable for a wide range of applications, from medical devices to remote robotics.

This led to the development of the soft fiber pump (SFP), a slender, highly flexible device that can bend, twist, and stretch in various ways.

Two designs were developed from the research: a high-performance version that uses spiral electrodes to boost pumping capabilities, and a durable version with parallel electrodes inspired by the human lymphatic vessels.

Both designs offer flexibility and strength in environments where traditional pumps would fail.

What makes the technology different from others before is its built-in ability to generate its own power.

The researchers integrated a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) (a device that converts mechanical motion into electricity) directly into the pump system.

When in rotation or motion (such as wind, water flow, or human movement), the TENG provides all the energy the pump needs.

“This turns everyday motion into a power source,” said Professor Jun Zou, co-lead of the project. “It moves us closer to machines that power themselves, without batteries or external electrical systems.”

To showcase the pump’s true potential, the team built several functional prototypes, including artificial muscles capable of lifting weights to mimic a lifelike robotic movement.

This, in addition to microfluidic control systems to enhance lab-on-a-chip diagnostic devices, and a temperature-regulating smart glove that uses the pump to circulate fluid and adjust temperature comfort.

“By fusing biological inspiration with advanced materials and energy harvesting,” said Tang, “we’re creating systems that are not just functional—but genuinely alive with autonomy.”

The study “Lymphatic-Inspired and TENG-Powered Soft Fiber Pumps for Soft Robots” was published in SmartBot.

In A Major Breakthrough, Menstrual Cups Successfully Tested In Space: "Giant Leap For Womankind"

Dec 03, 2025 12:10 pm IST

Scientists have successfully tested menstrual cups in spaceflight conditions in a major breakthrough, phys.org reported.

This significant milestone will provide sustainable menstrual health options for female astronauts who choose to menstruate.

The AstroCup mission, led by Ligia F Coelho from Cornell University, launched four commercially available menstrual cups aboard a rocket, with two cups flying into space and two remaining on the ground.

"We are developing so many systems, making humans survive in a place we're not supposed to be," astrobiologist Lígia Coelho, 51 Pegasi b Postdoctoral Fellow in astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and fellow at the Carl Sagan Institute said as quoted. "The farther we go, to the moon and Mars, that's becoming harder and harder."

The researchers analysed the results in "One Giant Leap for Womankind: First Menstrual cup Tested in Spaceflight Conditions", which is published in npj Women's Health.

The menstrual cups, which were flown to space, showed no signs of wear or tear, maintaining their structural integrity despite extreme acceleration forces, temperature changes, and pressure variations.

The cups also demonstrated leak-proof performance, with no leakage of test liquids (water and glycerol) detected.

"The first time something is done on a rocket payload, the paper is used as methodology precedent," Coelho said.

"We wanted to have a bulletproof methodology that can be replicated by other people. We put a lot of thought into how we could do this consistently with a good control setting that could be replicated."

Menstrual cups offer a reusable and sustainable solution for managing menstruation in space, reducing waste and the need for disposable products.

"I get passionate about the reasons why menstrual devices are still not in space," she said. "We need to have a serious conversation about what it means to have autonomy for health in space."

Women often use suppress menstruation hormonally on missions that last up to six months. But now these menstrual cups provide female astronauts with a choice in managing their menstrual health.

Space, Air Force integration powers DAF Battle Network

Dec. 3, 2025

Space is a key domain for decision advantage.

To facilitate integration with the air domain, the Department of the Air Force’s Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management works extensively with the Space Force’s Space Systems Integration Office to deliver the DAF Battle Network, the system-of-systems that provides resilient decision advantage to warfighters.

DAF PEO C3BM is aligned under both the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, and the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration at the Pentagon.

“We’re the one PEO that has a foot in both camps,” said Gordon Kordyak, C3BM deputy PEO. “We are constantly working together to build the capabilities we need for the DAF BATTLE NETWORK.”

SSIO was established with the monumental task to drive enterprise integration across the U.S. Space Force acquisition community and achieve end-to-end capability delivery across multiple PEOs and mission partners to meet warfighter needs. Part of that mission is providing integrated space enterprise capability development support to C3BM.

“We always start by understanding the threats and the corresponding operational plans that have been defined by the Combatant Commands,” said Kris Acosta, civilian deputy to the senior advisor for the assistant secretary for Space.

Acosta is also the space deputy for Architecture and Systems Engineering supporting C3BM. “We're looking at how we address the capability needs at scale, not just from a single PEO, but across multiple solution providers.

How do ensure end-to-end capability from joint planning through the joint targeting cycle to deliver the effects that the warfighters need?”

SSIO is addressing the complexity of system-of-systems by breaking down the capability delivery into phased increment plans.

This allows SSIO to support PEOs delivering incremental capabilities to the DAF Battle Network that are fully integrated, resulting in speedy and accurate space-domain support that will enable responsive and agile joint warfighter decision making.

With Acosta being dual hatted, she brings C3BM requirements to SSIO and vice-versa, creating a unique synergy that benefits both organizations.

C3BM depends on a tightly integrated network of sensors, satellites, and command centers. SSIO ensures these diverse systems communicate and interoperate across space, air, and cyber domains.

SSIO also ensures that C3BM efforts are aligned with the broader space enterprise roadmap, reducing duplication and stovepipes.

The organizations work together to ensure mission critical technology is safe from natural and man-made threats.

“We have become critically dependent upon space as a domain,” Kordyak said. “These capabilities are essential to enable the joint force to allow them to perform military operations in a supported and supporting role.”

Together, C3BM works with organizations across the Space Force to acquire, build, and maintain resilient technology to rapidly advance DAF Battle Network capabilities.

“We're going to exploit the air and space capabilities we have,” Kordyak said. “We're going to look to commercial industry for capabilities we can buy as a service, and we're going to augment that when possible.”

Another symbiotic role between C3BM and SSIO is the protection of assets through understanding space as a contested domain.

The organizations work together to ensure mission critical technology is safe from natural and man-made threats.

“If we allow ourselves to imagine a day without space then, how would this impact our lives and how we do business, be it personal or professional?” Kordyak said.

“The ramifications of such an impact are huge. It touches every aspect of our lives. The threat is out there.”

The organizations also work together to support integrated deterrence through multi-domain coordination through air, space, land, sea, and cyber.

They ensure assets remain functional and continue to deliver mission critical data through continuous planning.

Satanic ritual abuse in Israel

Knesset hears harrowing new testimony of alleged ritual sexual abuse; survivors demand action

The testimonies describe patterns of abuse that survivors say were organized, repeated, ideologically framed, and allegedly carried out by groups of adults.

A series of profoundly distressing testimonies was delivered at the Knesset on Tuesday, as women described years of what they say were ritualized, organized sexual assaults they endured as children, including allegations of group rape, sadistic violence, and abuse that, in one case, was said to have occurred weekly in the office of a former MK.

The hearing, held jointly by the Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women and the Special Committee on Youth, renewed urgent calls by lawmakers for law enforcement authorities to fully investigate the growing number of such accounts.

The testimonies, many of which have emerged publicly over the past several months, describe patterns of abuse that survivors say were organized, repeated, ideologically framed, and allegedly carried out by groups of adults, sometimes including figures in positions of authority.

Though the accounts differ, they share recurring motifs: multiple perpetrators, use of drugs or intoxicants, coercive “ceremonies,” and violence far beyond conventional patterns of childhood sexual abuse.

The Knesset Research and Information Center recently noted that Israel has no legal definition for “ritual abuse,” creating profound gaps in detection, data collection, and prosecution, and leaving the state with almost no reliable information on the scope of the phenomenon.

During the hearing on Tuesday, survivor Hadar Feldman recounted that from age seven to 21, she was repeatedly sold and raped by groups of men, often as part of what she described as cult-like ceremonies. She told MKs that beginning at age eight-and-a-half, her father brought her once a week to a room inside the Knesset where, she said, a then-serving MK abused her after giving her drinks that caused her to lose consciousness.

“He did whatever he wanted to me, every week, for a year and a half,” she testified, adding that the former MK is no longer alive.

“To hear that this place was used for such a thing is beyond comprehension,” Democratic MK Naama Lazimi responded.

Another survivor, identified as ‘S,’ described being kidnapped repeatedly as a child: “They tied me upside down. They electrocuted my intimate organs. They forced me to watch the murder of small babies. They made me dig my own grave. They are here among us.”

She said she gave the police detailed testimony, including names, places, and descriptions, but does not feel her account has been taken seriously.

A third woman, referred to as ‘M’ and whose testimony was read aloud, said she endured abuse by family members, a doctor, a psychiatrist, and rabbis throughout her childhood. She described what she called a “ritual assault” suffered while she was in advanced pregnancy and said she was forced to commit “horrific acts” to save her unborn child.

“They traded me. They traded my body,” she wrote, urging the state to ensure proper psychological and economic support for survivors.

BREAKING🔥: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell filed paperwork Wednesday to run for Minnesota governor as a Republican in 2026, though he described it as preliminary and said he is “98 percent sure” about entering the race, with a formal announcement planned by December 11.

Lindell, 64, a vocal Trump supporter known for promoting 2020 election fraud claims that led to successful defamation lawsuits against him—including a September federal ruling for defaming Smartmatic—has reestablished Minnesota residency after briefly living in Texas.

His candidacy would join 12 other Republicans challenging Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, potentially leading to an August primary if no convention endorsement in May consolidates the field.

🥴Democrats quickly criticized the move, with DGA spokesperson Izzi Levy stating: “His entrance into the race is a bitter pill-ow for Minnesota Republicans to swallow.”

Ukraine, Russia both claim large-scale overnight drone interceptions

December 3, 2025

Ukraine has said its air defences neutralised 83 of the 111 drones Russia launched across the country since Tuesday evening, while Moscow claimed to have intercepted 102 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions overnight, according to official statements from both sides.

Ukraine’s Air Force said on Wednesday that the attack, which began after 6 pm local time (1600GMT), involved Shahed and Geran-type strike UAVs launched from Kursk, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Crimea.

It noted that more than 60 of the drones were Shahed models. “The air attack was repelled by anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups,” the statement said.

By 8 am (0600GMT), Ukrainian defences had downed or suppressed 83 drones across the country’s north, south, and east.

Authorities recorded 27 UAV strikes on 13 locations, as well as debris impacts at another site. Civilian infrastructure and private homes were damaged in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, and Odessa regions, with casualties reported.

Cross-border drone activity

Meanwhile, Russian officials said drones struck oil depots in the Voronezh and Tambov regions.

The head of Russia’s Tambov region, Yevgeny Pervyshchev, said a fire erupted at the Tambov oil facility in the village of Dmytrivka after “UAV debris fell,” adding that emergency crews responded quickly.

Authorities in Voronezh said four drones were destroyed and that several fuel tanks were slightly damaged but did not ignite.

Russia’s Defence Ministry separately claimed its air defences shot down 102 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones across seven regions overnight, including Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov, Astrakhan, Saratov, and Voronezh.

The claims come amid intensified cross-border drone activity, with both sides reporting expanded use of long-range UAVs targeting military and energy infrastructure.

Independent verification is difficult due to the ongoing conflict.

1989. Joe Biden delivers a televised message from the Democrat party, calling on then President Bush to do more to stop the flow of drugs into the country.

In addition to calling for more prisons and more cops, Biden said that Democrats want the creation of a strike force to attack drug dealers before they reach our borders.

"Let's go after the drug lords where they live with an international strike force. There must be no safe haven for these narco-terrorists and they must know it."

Reports: Multiple Drone Strikes Hit Chechnya

December 3, 2025

Unmanned aerial vehicles reportedly struck several military and security locations across Chechnya on Tuesday, December 3rd.

Chechen authorities have yet to comment—while Russia’s Defence Ministry said only that four drones were shot down over the republic.

Images circulated in local webchat apps appear to show severe fire damage to the Federal Security Service (FSB) office in Achkhoy-Martan.

Another strike reportedly hit the base of the Akhmat regiment in Gudermes, with online footage showing a drone approaching before an explosion.

Later in the day, the opposition Telegram channel NIYSO reported an additional drone attack targeting a police station in Sernovodsk, though this remains unconfirmed.

Air traffic authorities temporarily halted flights at several airports in the region—including Grozny, Vladikavkaz and Makhachkala.

Chechnya has seen a series of drone attacks over the past year, with earlier strikes damaging police facilities, military barracks and training centres.

War Department Asks Industry to Make More Than 300K Drones, Quickly, Cheaply

Dec. 2, 2025

The War Department requested information earlier this week to gauge industry's willingness and ability to make some 300,000 drones quickly and inexpensively — a concrete effort by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to directly meet the "drone dominance" goals laid out by the president.

On June 6, President Donald J. Trump signed the "Unleashing American Drone Dominance" executive order outlining how the United States would up its drone game in both the commercial and military sectors, including how it would deliver massive amounts of inexpensive, American-made, lethal drones to U.S. military units to amplify their combat capabilities.

Hegseth followed up in July with the "Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance" memorandum, in which he laid out his plan for how the department would meet the president's intent.

Part of the secretary's plan included participating with other parts of government in building up the nascent U.S. drone manufacturing base by approving hundreds of American products for purchase by the department, powering a "technological leapfrog" by arming combat units with the very best of low-cost American-made drones, and finally, training as the department expects to fight.

"Next year I expect to see [drone] capability integrated into all relevant combat training, including force-on-force drone wars," the secretary said.

At that time, Hegseth said, he had already advanced American drone dominance by stripping away regulations that hindered the military's adoption of small drones and shifting the necessary authorities away from the department's bureaucracy and into the hands of unit commanders.

"This was the first step in the urgent effort to boost lethality across the force," Hegseth said in a video posted today to social media.

Now the War Department is moving out in a new way on the drone dominance initiative, Hegseth said.

"The second step is to kickstart U.S. industrial capacity and reduce prices, so our military can adequately budget for unmanned weapons," the secretary said.

He noted that, with help from Congress, the department will initially focus on small attack drones.

"Drone dominance is a billion-dollar program funded by President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill," Hegseth said.

"It is purpose-built on the pillars of the War Department's new acquisition philosophy: a stable demand signal to expand the U.S. drone industrial base by leveraging private capital, paired with flexible contracting built for commercial companies, founded by our best engineers and entrepreneurs."

Hillary Clinton blames social media for radicalizing young Americans against Israel: ‘Pure propaganda’

Hillary Clinton has blamed the surge in anti-Israel hate among young Americans on “pure propaganda” and “totally made-up” videos about the violence in Gaza swamping social media.

“Smart, well-educated, young people from our own country, from around the world, where were they getting their information?” the former secretary of state asked during a New York conference hosted by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom on Tuesday.

“They were getting their information from social media, particularly TikTok.”

“That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th, what happened in the days, weeks, and months to follow. That’s a serious problem. It’s a serious problem for democracy, whether it’s Israel or the United States, and it’s a serious problem for our young people,” she added.

Clinton argued that much of the online content they were soaking up about the Israel-Hamas war was one-sided “pure propaganda.”

She added, too, that it was difficult to have reasonable discussions with some young people because they didn’t know the history of the conflict.

“It’s not just the usual suspects. It’s a lot of young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand,” she said.

“A lot of the challenge is with younger people. More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media.”

“So just pause on that for a second. They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that’s where they get their information.”

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Announces the Reset of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards

The White House | December 3, 2025

DELIVERING A WIN FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES AND AUTOMAKERS: Today, President Donald J. Trump is delivering major relief to American families by resetting the Biden Administration’s costly and unlawful Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

President Trump is returning CAFE standards to levels that can actually be met with conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles. The Biden Administration standards imposed unrealistic fuel economy targets that effectively resulted in an electric vehicle (EV) mandate.

The Trump Administration’s reset of the CAFE standards ensures the program’s fidelity to the legal restrictions set forth by Congress.

The Biden standards broke the law by going far beyond the requirements that were mandated by Congress when it created the CAFE program.

SAVING AMERICAN FAMILIES MONEY: Today’s action represents an enormous win in response to the cost-of-living increases imposed on the economy by the Biden Administration.

The Biden Administration created extraordinarily stringent fuel economy standards for passenger cars and trucks, set at such aggressive levels that they were impossible to meet with available technologies for gas cars.

The Biden standards would have compelled widespread shifts to EVs that American consumers did not ask for, accompanied by significant cost-of-living increases. Since EVs are so expensive to build, automakers must sell them at a loss and make up the difference by significantly raising the sticker price of gas cars.

If President Trump had done nothing, the Biden standards would have raised the average cost of a new car by nearly $1,000, relative to the cost under the standards announced today.

President Trump’s actions will save American families $109 billion in total over the next five years.

By helping more Americans buy newer, safer vehicles, this reset is projected to save more than 1,500 lives and prevent nearly a quarter-million serious injuries through 2050.

MARKING A CRITICAL BATTLE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BIDEN’S HIDDEN COST-OF-LIVING INCREASES: The CAFE reset represents the latest action by President Trump to prevent the Biden EV-related policies from raising costs for Americans.

In June, President Trump signed a joint resolution to end the California EV mandates, which would have effectively been a 100% ban on new gas cars sold in the state by 2035 (with similar effects in 17 states that adopted California’s standards).

In July, President Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which set the civil penalty for violating CAFE standards to $0, protecting the U.S. auto manufacturing industry from significant fines.

Under President Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also released its proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which ignores Congress’ clear intent under the Clean Air Act and has been used to justify over $1 trillion in costs for the American consumers and economy.

Today’s action helps ensure that even if far-left Democrats return to power, the CAFE standards are sensible, so U.S. automakers are not held to infeasible standards.

Combined with auto loan interest deductibility for new made-in-the-USA vehicles, President Trump continues to deliver real relief that makes owning a safe, reliable car more affordable for every American family.

Joe Rogan and the UFO race: what’s real and what’s hype

3 December 2025

Joe Rogan has reignited the UFO debate with a rapid-fire take on UAP disclosure, blending whistleblower claims, Elon Musk name drops, and fears of a hidden tech race between the US and China.

“I’m a silly person… I’ll tell you I’m an idiot.” When Joe Rogan used this opening gambit to discuss UAP disclosure on the Jesse Michaels podcast, it’s quite normal to question whether the world's biggest podcaster would add any credibility to the UAP movement.

The gist of the 13-minute segment (in what’s a 3-hour-long podcast) is a nutshell summary of the content from Dan Farah's 2025 documentary The Age of Disclosure, which includes Brobdingnagian content like US-China relations, the stigma and ridicule that whistleblowers face, and tech's role in being the gateway to the cosmos.

With David Grusch effectively carrying a match through a powder keg by putting himself forward for disclosure, Rogan has a voice, whether you love him or hate him.

Rogan points out that The Age of Disclosure doesn't contain much UAP footage at all, but focuses on intelligence testimony.

“The subject has always been very ridiculed… you could really fumble your career if you went out and said… you were a journalist or… a legitimate author.”

Governor Marco Rubio was also given credit as “his involvement was huge… you know, because it's the current administration, his involvement and his urgency.”

Ridicule as a control mechanism

Speaking of being caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to turning informer, such as Grusch or Matthew Brown’s Immaculate Constellation, an 11-page shadow dossier about the Pentagon's secret UFO program, Rogan frames ridicule as a gatekeeper:

“Most of these people at some point… have held very high clearances… you immediately get this like smell of kook that's on you.”

As empathetic as Rogan can be, the Reddit UFO community didn’t appreciate the Elon plug. Validation by association doesn’t quite cut it with the UAP-acquainted or even the agnostics, with one commenter in particular observing:

That doesn’t make sense at all. If Musk had the knowledge, why would he be building primitive rockets and not use the technology to build craft to visit Mars or other planets?

Using Musk is intended to make Rogan sound more grounded. Rhetorically, Rogan uses Musk for scale to comprehend different levels of intelligence in both government hierarchy and reverse-engineering conspiracies.

Rogan reckons that advanced AI, with its rapid innovation, which Elon is involved in with SpaceX and Grok, is key to understanding how humans can replicate or make sense of recovered UFO technology (which could well be what is being concealed as per the claims of the whistleblowers).

Rogan’s casual “I’m not one of them” is paired with “I know Elon… there’s levels to this,” to suggest a spectrum where the topic is plausible at the top end.

Elon as cosmic yardstick

The arms race between the US and China clearly hinges heavily on AI. However, when you throw aliens into the mix, the discussion goes haywire.

Upon using Jay Stratton's (former first Director of the Pentagon's Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon Task Force) “Manhattan Project on steroids” analogy, it smells a bit like these dots could be connected in some way.

The reaction on X was also cynical, with user IBHough speculating:

“I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Joe Rogan probably doesn't know anything about UFOs, much like 99.999% of us.”

From UFO experiencers to podcasters who allude to quantum computing as a potential “digital God” (says Rogan), the cultural obsession with tech and materialism is evident on show here.

Being open to possibilities without being shut down is a refreshing trait in today’s social media climate. And Rogan certainly brings out the absurd.

“If you really want to get weird, that might be how God gets formed… that might be the whole reason why human beings have curiosity and this insatiable desire for technological innovation.”

Getting weird is fine. But from the reactions within the community, as disclosure has been ridiculed so often, it seems best to take this one leap at a time.

Fyodor Lukyanov: Washington and Moscow are edging toward a deal

The next phase of the Ukraine conflict may be the last before a settlement

As expected, Tuesday’s five-hour meeting in the Kremlin produced no breakthrough. Moscow made it clear it will not compromise on its demand that Ukrainian forces withdraw from the remaining parts of Donbass under their control. Kiev, for its part, insists that any voluntary pullback is impossible. And it is doubtful the US administration could compel Ukraine to do so now, or perhaps ever.Which means Moscow’s alternative remains on the table: taking the territory by force.

US President Donald Trump prepared the ground by warning in advance that he would not set deadlines and could not promise results.This is uncharacteristic for him. It would be cynical to suggest that the American president is again giving Moscow time to further narrow Kiev’s room for maneuver, both literally and politically.Then again, perhaps the cynicism is not misplaced.

From the moment news broke that the envoys were heading to Moscow, it was clear that another round of talks would be required before anything concrete could emerge. The coming meeting will effectively be the fifth.And as long as diplomacy grinds forward, the military campaign will continue at full intensity. The negotiating phase will run alongside the fighting, not pause it.Exactly as predicted. Moscow will not accept a ceasefire until the parameters of a final settlement are agreed. Washington, for now, is committed in trying to reach one.

One detail stands out. The American delegation is flying straight home without stopping in Kiev or European capitals. That implies there is nothing yet to show. It also suggests that both Moscow and Washington intend to cut a deal directly, without the distraction of additional intermediaries.

Since February, the Trump administration has in practice acted as the central mediator, communicating closely and directly with the two sides. Western Europe is entirely absent from this configuration. Its involvement depends entirely on whether Kiev chooses to use it.For the European Union, which made the Ukrainian issue the organizing principle of its foreign policy, this is an odd place to end up: reduced to a tool rather than a participant.

Still, there is one encouraging note. There is a growing chance that the next military-political turn may be the last before the war ends.

(PDJT is over Ukraine, and is stopping being a mediator. Zelensky and the EU deserve what they get.)

Belief in Russian defeat ‘a complete illusion’ – Belgium

Prime Minister Bart De Wever is opposed to funding Ukraine through a loan, which Kiev could repay only if Moscow agrees to pay war reparations

Belgian Prime Minister Bart DeWever has launched a new attack on the EU’s plan to use frozen Russian assets for a loan to Ukraine, describing it as “a complete illusion” to think that Kiev could defeat Moscow and force it to pay reparations.

Under the proposal, the bloc would leverage about €140 billion ($162 billion) in immobilized Russian sovereign assets – most of them held at Brussels-based clearing house Euroclear – to guarantee a so-called ‘reparations loan’ for Ukraine. Belgium has vehemently protested the plan, demanding that other EU nations share responsibility for the move.

Russia, meanwhile, has branded such ideas “theft” and warned of far-reaching legal and retaliatory steps if its reserves are stolen.

In an interview with La Libre daily on Tuesday,De Wever acknowledged that the pressure surrounding the loan issue is “incredible,” adding that the political appeal of supporting “the good guy, Ukraine,” at Russia’s expense obscured unprecedented legal risks and would break historical precedent. “Even during World War II, Germany’s money wasn’t confiscated,” he said.

“At the end of the war, the losing state must relinquish all or part of these assets to compensate the victors. But who really believes that Russia will lose in Ukraine? It’s a fable, a complete illusion.”

According to De Wever, even despite the current tensions, “it’s not even desirable for them [Russia] to lose” due to likely instability and nuclear weapons risks spiraling out of control in this scenario.

The Belgian leader further warned that Moscow would not “calmly accept” confiscation, pointing to the risk that Russia could seize Western-owned factories and some €16 billion ($18.6 billion) held by Euroclear in Russia. He added that Belarus or China could follow suit by targeting Western assets on their soil.

De Wever also previouslywarned that the de facto seizing of the assets – the final decision on which is expected at a summit in Brussels on December 18 – would essentially derail the ongoing Ukraine peace process. The latter has gained momentum with the talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Tuesday.

RUBIO ON HANNITY: Sec. of State Discusses President Trump’s Foreign Policy Doctrine, UFOs, and More

12.03.25

Hannity finally gets to ask the UFO question — and more.

During Tuesday night’s Hannity, Fox News host Sean Hannity visited the Washington swamp to sit down with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Hannity and Rubio discussed America-First foreign policy, UFOs, radical Islam, Venezuela, and more.

Rubio also provided updates on peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

“What we’re trying to see is if it’s possible to end the war in a way that protects Ukraine’s future that both sides could agree to,” Rubio told Fox News host Sean Hannity, after the Kremlin rejected the Trump administration’s latest plan to end the bloodshed.

“I think we’ve made some progress, but we’re not there yet,” the Secretary continued.

Rubio says the onus is on Putin.

“It’s hard to tell about confidence level on it, because ultimately the decisions have to be made, in the case of Russia, by Putin alone,” the top US diplomat said. “Not his advisors, Putin.

“Only Putin can end this war on the Russian side.”

So BUSINESSES in Minn. now have a new payroll expense them must fund its a payroll tax AND they lose employees for as many as 5 months a year if there is a newborn, or if the employee needs to care for a family member who is sick.

The employee MUST be given their job back when they return, regardless if they had to be replaced by a new hire to do the job in their absence.

No security guarantees for Ukraine – Finnish PM

Petteri Orpo says there is a difference between aid and mutual defense obligations

Finland will not offer Ukraine NATO-style security guarantees, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo has declared.

Kiev has been seeking formal security assurances from Western backers and insists they should come before any peace agreement with Moscow. Some media reports claimed that last month’s US peace roadmap included a NATO-style guarantee for Kiev modeled on Article 5, committing guarantor states to defend Ukraine in case of a potential attack, and listed Finland as one of the potential guarantors.

Asked about this at a joint press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Tuesday, Orpo said he had neither seen the plan nor been consulted on it.

“I don’t know why Finland was mentioned in the paper,” he told the media.“We have to understand that a security guarantee is something very, very serious. We’re not ready to give security guarantees, but we can help with security arrangements. The difference between them is huge.”

Orpo stressed that helping Kiev with security differs fundamentally from mutual defense obligations referenced in the leaked US plan. He suggested major powers such as the US or larger European states should commit to guarantees, while Finland’s role would be limited to logistical and organizational support.

Sweden, while not mentioned as a potential guarantor in the leaked draft, believes European support should focus on helping Ukraine maintain a capable military as Kiev’s “most important security guarantee”, according to Kristersson.

The Wall Street Journal reported this week that security guarantees remain unresolved after the latest talks between Kiev and Washington in Florida.Moscow has said it does not oppose security guarantees for Ukraine in principle but insists they must not be one-sidedor aimed at containing Russia, and should follow a peace deal rather than precede one. Russia confirmed receiving the “main parameters” of the US roadmap last week but has not commented on details or whether guarantees are included.

Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, visited Moscow on Tuesday for further talks on the peace plan. According to President Vladimir Putin’s aide Yury Ushakov, the discussions were constructive and Moscow agreed with some American proposals, but deemed others unacceptable, and“no compromises have been found as of yet.”

Some countries are completely over with Ukraine bullshit, and I agree no security guarantees, that put other countries to protect the shithole.

The population of Minnesota is about 5.8 million people with approximately 1.3 million people under the age of 18.

During a 20 month period, the Feeding Our Future scammers billed for over 125 million fake meals, claiming almost all the meals were for Minnesota children.

Some of the fake children names they came up with were "Man Sincere" and "John Doe." 🤣

Tim Walz knew about this fraud in 2020 and did nothing. Perhaps he was too busy making sure that people couldn't open their legit businesses during the pandemic.

This is a huge scandal and the only reason that Kamala was able to choose Walz as her running mate is because she knew that the MSM would not cover it during their campaign.

Witkoff-Zelensky meeting canceled – media

The Ukrainian leader earlier said he expected “signals” from the US after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin

US special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, canceled a planned meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in Europe and have flown back home, according to media reports.

Zelensky earlier said he expected to hear back from the US delegation after its high-stakes Kremlin talks on a peace plan for Ukraine.

On Tuesday, journalist Alex Raufoglu, who writes for the Kyiv Post, initially reported, citing sources, that “Zelensky is slated to meet in Brussels tonight” with the US officials. Hours later, however, he saidthere had been a change of plans, and “the Brussels meeting is called off” and “Zelensky is returning home,” without elaborating on the reason.

A plane apparently carrying Witkoff made no stopovers in the EU after leaving Russia, flying directly back to the US, TASS reported, citing a European air-traffic source.

Earlier, Axios also reported that Witkoff was expected to meet with Zelensky and brief him on the talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian leader said he had expected signals from Witkoff and Kushner, suggesting that if the Kremlin talks went well, he could meet with Trump very soon. The US president previously refused to meet with both Zelensky and Putin until a peace deal is in the final stages.

The apparent cancelation of the meeting came as Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said the American delegation had promised Moscow to return to Washington after the Kremlin talks and not travel on to Kiev.

His comments came following five-hour Russia-US talks at the Kremlin. Ushakov described the negotiations as “useful, constructive and meaningful,” while adding that “a compromise hasn’t been found” and “there’s still a lot of work to be done.”

The negotiations focused on a US-backed peace framework, initially tied to a 28-point draft leaked last month. The plan reportedly asked Kiev to relinquish territory in Russia’s Donbass regions still under its control, abandon its NATO ambitions, and limit the size of its military, which Kiev considers a dealbreaker.

(The EU and Zelensky are cut out of negotiations, they were never invited in the 1st place.)

Kremlin clarifies stance on US-drafted Ukraine peace plan

Moscow and Washington continue to look for a compromise, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russia has not rejected the US peace plan on the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, adding that Moscow and Washington are continuing to work toward finding a compromise.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Peskov stressed that “it would be wrong” to say President Vladimir Putin had turned down the American proposals after the talks in Moscow with US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

He said the Kremlin meeting was the first direct exchange on the plan and that “some things were accepted, some were marked as unacceptable,” describing it as a “normal negotiation process” and “a search for compromise.”

He declined to spell out details of the four documents related to the Ukraine peace plan handed over to Moscow. “We proceed from the fact that in this case it is better for these negotiations to be conducted in silence,” he said, adding that Russia is “not a supporter of megaphone diplomacy” and that Moscow sees the Americans as following the same principle.

His comments came after a roughly five-hour meeting in the Kremlin between Putin and Witkoff, which was joined by Kushner, focused on possible ways to end the fighting. Presidential aide Yury Ushakov called the discussion “very useful, constructive [and] very substantive,” adding that the sides “discussed the substance, not specific wording and solutions.”

The talks were built around a US-drafted framework that first surfaced publicly in November when a 28-point proposal was leaked to the media. The plan would reportedly require Kiev to give up parts of Russia’s Donbass still under its control, renounce NATO membership ambitions and accept limits on the size of its armed forces.Since then, however, Ukraine and its EU backers attempted to impose their own conditions during several rounds of talks with the US.

While Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has publicly rejected any territorial concessions to Russia, he acknowledged that there were “no simple solutions” for ending the conflict, and that he expected “signals” from the US negotiators – who reportedly cancelled an expected meeting with him after the Kremlin talks.

(The US understands that the EU would be advising Zelensky, he cannot make a decision himself, but if they are included, they will jam up the settlement.Ignoring Zelensky is a very strong signal, Z is not in charge of anything, and never has been.)

Qatar Evangelical Alliance breaks ground on worship center, witnessing Christ in a Muslim nation

A worship center for evangelical churches has commenced construction in Qatar, marking a significant spiritual milestone in the history of evangelicals in the country. The project, costing $33.35 million, is expected to be completed in April 2028.

Evangelical Churches Alliance Qatar (ECAQ) made this announcement at the General Assembly of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) held at the end of October in Seoul.

Qatar is an Arab Muslim nation, with Muslims comprising nearly 70% of its population. The establishment of this evangelical center here undoubtedly represents a major spiritual victory and is an encouraging development.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Glenn Beck just dropped the most important 4 minutes you’ll watch this year:

“For the FIRST time in recorded history, EVERY major civilization—America, China, Europe, Japan—is hitting the absolute peak of the debt super-cycle AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT. There is no rising power waiting in the wings like there always has been. When this resets, it won’t be regional. It will be global, systemic, and sudden.”

He lays out the only three ways every debt empire has ever ended:

- Hyperinflation wipeout (Weimar, Rome, France)

- Hard default + revolution (Russia 1917, Argentina ×9)

- World war → new monetary order (Napoleonic Wars → Gold Standard → Bretton Woods)

Then the line that stopped me cold:

“Rome fell alone. Britain declined while America rose. This time… no one is coming up.”

Yet Beck ends with fire:

Every single collapse in history birthed renewal—Christian Europe from Rome’s ashes, the modern nation-state from France’s terror, the greatest prosperity explosion ever after WWII.

The next chapter is not written. It never will be written by Washington, Wall Street, Beijing, or Davos.

It will be written by us—in our families, communities, and convictions.

Watch these 4 minutes. Seriously. Then come back and tell me:

Which system do you think is quietly being built right now to replace the one that’s dying?

LEAK: Pentagon Inspector General CLASSIFIED Report Finds Hegseth’s Signal Chat Violated Regulations, Put US Personnel at Risk

Another day, another leak.

The Pentagon’s Inspector General found that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat violated regulations and may have put US personnel in the region at risk.

Of course, the information was leaked to the legacy media.

According to CNN, the Inspector General report is classified – so who leaked the information to the legacy media?

CNN, AP, CBS and Politico reported on the findings on Wednesday.

“The Pentagon’s watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put U.S. personnel and their mission at risk when he used the Signal messaging app to convey sensitive information about a military strike against Houthi militants in Yemen, two people familiar with the findings said Wednesday,” AP reported.

“Hegseth, however, has the ability to declassify material and the report did not find he did so improperly, according to one of the people familiar with the report’s findings who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the information. CNN first reported the initial findings,” AP reported.

The Pentagon’s IG report on Hegseth was delivered to members of Congress, who then reviewed it in a SCIF.

“The review by the Pentagon inspector general’s office was delivered to lawmakers, who were able to review the report in a classified facility at the Capitol. A partially redacted version of the report was expected to be released publicly later this week,” AP reported.

The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal in May.

Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general.

Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015.

Pete Hegseth has been under heavy attack since before his confirmation hearing and the leaks keep coming.

The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his probe following The Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Hegseth’s wife and brother participating in Signal chat groups.

Pete Hegseth was blamed for not noticing Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Signal chat group with other high-level Trump Administration officials.

Netanyahu aims to head panel shaping mandate of October 7 inquiry, officials say

Ministers are weighing how far back the investigation should reach, whether to issue personal findings and whether to examine factors like protest movement and High Court rulings

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to convene the first meeting of the ministerial committee tasked with defining the mandate of a government-appointed inquiry into the Oct. 7 failures, despite Justice Minister Yariv Levin being named to lead the forum three weeks ago.

Levin told Netanyahu at the time that he did not want to chair the committee and asked to be replaced — a request that, according to officials familiar with the matter, stemmed in part from ongoing tensions between the two. Netanyahu initially declined, but advisers now urge him either to lead the panel himself or appoint a close ally to do so.

Given the political sensitivity, Netanyahu’s aides are pushing for several rapid meetings of the committee while legislation establishing the inquiry moves forward in the Knesset. Likud MK Ariel Kallner is expected to submit the bill in the coming days.

Former Arkansas DHS staffer arrested with child sex abuse material on cell phone pleads not guilty

A former staffer with the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) arrested in October for possession of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) has pleaded not guilty, according to court documents.

Alejandro Hernandez, 30, of Elkins, was arrested on Oct. 30, for three counts of distributing, possessing and viewing child pornography. At the time of his arrest, court documents said he was working at DHS as a child services investigator.

He is scheduled to appear in Judge Joanna Taylor’s courtroom on Jan. 15 and has been ordered to have no access to the internet.

Case background

A probable cause affidavit said Hernandez was taken into custody after a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led police to a video depicting the sexual assault of a child.

In the report, the investigator explains that they obtained a subpoena to inspect the social media account for ‘Juan Gonzalez’ and found “at least four other CSAM files that depicted pre-pubescent children being sexually abused by adults.” The affidavit also says there was one video depicting a child being forced to engage in sex acts with an animal.

Netanyahu’s coalition just boycotted a vote to endorse President Trump’s peace plan.

The second phase of the ceasefire plan acknowledges a pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood but these psychos will do anything they can to sabotage Trump’s deal.

Putin threatens Europe with war if it wants one, as Ukraine peace talks falter

Published Wed, Dec 3 20252:33 AM EST1/2

Key Points

• Peace talks held between the U.S. and Russia on Tuesday failed to deliver a breakthrough.

• Russian President Vladimir Putin doubled down on threats toward Europe ahead of the talks, saying Moscow was “ready” for war.

• The Kremlin said talks over a draft Ukraine peace plan would continue.

Peace talks held between the U.S. and Russia on Tuesday failed to deliver a breakthrough with Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of discussions doubling down on threats toward Europe, saying Russia was “ready” for war with the Continent.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and son-in-law Jared Kushner had traveled to Moscow for talks with Putin and his closest aides on a draft peace plan aimed at ending the almost four-year war in Ukraine.

The talks lasted five hours, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov told reportersafter the discussions, saying the meeting focused on a U.S.-drafted peace plan and was “very useful, constructive, and highly informative” but that there was more work to be done.

“We agreed on some things ... while others caused criticism, and the President [Putin] also made no secret of our critical, even negative, attitude toward a number of proposals.But the main thing is that we had a very useful discussion,” Ushakov said, in comments translated by NBC News.

It’s unclear which peace plan was presented to the Russians after an initial 28-point plan, secretly devised by the U.S. and Russia, was presented to Ukraine a few weeks ago.

Kyiv and its European allies hastily amended that plan, whittling it down to 19 proposals, with Ukrainian officials travelling to Florida last weekend for more talks on the proposals.

Russia and Ukraine are miles apart when it comes to central elements of a framework peace agreement, with Moscow demanding that Kyiv cede partially occupied territory in the east of the country to Russia, and disagreeing over Western-backed security guarantees for Ukraine.

Putin aide Ushakov said Tuesday that both sides had discussed a 27-point plan and had received more documents from the U.S. side, although he did not elaborate as to what those contained. He added that Russia and the U.S. had agreed to not disclose details of the talks.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Kremlinspokesperson Dmitry Peskov said it would be incorrect to say Putin had rejected the proposals put to him by the U.S. delegation.

“A direct exchange of views took place yesterday for the first time,” Peskov said, in comments cited by the Reuters news agency. “Some things were accepted, some things were marked as unacceptable — this is a normal working process of finding a compromise.”

‘Ready’ for war

The talks in Moscow came after Putin launched a tirade against Europe, saying that its counter peace proposals were “absolutely unacceptable” for Russia, and that the region’s leadership had “no peace agenda.”

“We’re not going to war with Europe; I’ve said that a hundred times. But if Europe suddenly wants to fight us and starts, we’re ready right now,” Putin told journalists ahead of his meeting with Witkoff and Kushner.

2/2

European officials have expressed consternation in recent weeks that they, and Ukraine, were excluded from initial talks between the U.S. and Russia that led to an original draft peace plan seen to heavily favor Russia.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday that “this week could be pivotal for diplomacy. It is clear that Russia does not want peace, and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible.”

Europe will have watched Tuesday’s talks in Russia closely. There are concerns that Trump, who has appeared to have a warmer relationship with Putin than with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at times, could throw his support behind Russia’s peace proposals in a bid to end the war sooner rather than later.

Eager to appear optimistic over the prospect of peace, Zelenskyy told Irish lawmakers on Tuesday that Ukraine was “closer to peace than ever before” and that there was a “real, real chance” of an agreement after talks with Washington.

No hurry for a deal

Geopolitical experts say the Kremlin is willing to eke out the peace process for as long as possible, with Russia maintaining that it has the advantage on the battlefield and can extract heavy concessions from Ukraine in the peace process.

Paul Skinner, investment director at Wellington Management, was also pessimistic over any near-term progress toward peace.

“We think the Ukraine-Russia story is going to grind on, and on, and on,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” on Wednesday.

“It’s very unlikely we’re going to get a resolution. While Putin is still making ground, he’s unlikely to sue for peace. I’m afraid that our prognosis, and it has been from the start, is that this is going to be a very long drawn-out problem.”

Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said it was in Putin’s “interest just to keep the process going, to have a long process of diplomatic engagement.”

“He wants to have abroader conversation about Russia’s reintegration with the West and relations with the United States, commercial agreements with the United States, and to make this long and drawn out while he continues to bomb Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and makes incremental progress on the ground,” Froman told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday.

Amos Hochstein, TWG Global managing partner and former senior advisor to the president in the Biden administration, agreed that Russia would likely drag its heels over a deal.

“I think it’s difficult to get to a point of a deal where a lot of territory has to be given up by the Ukrainians in return for security guarantees that are a bit loose and flimsy, and for the Ukrainians who fought so much over the last several years, that’s hard to swallow,” he said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

“I think the problem is that the Ukrainians probably can compromise in some of this, but any concessions they would get from the U.S. on that deal would be difficult to get the Russians to agree to [as they] depend on the war, want to win, but also have a war economy.”

“The Russians are not in a hurry for a deal here,” he added.

EQUITY: Graduation rates are up, SATs are down, and colleges say students can’t do basic math. 1 in 8 Gen Z freshmen can't do basic arithmetic. The education system inflated the numbers, and Gen Z is paying the price.

National graduation rates jumped from 74% to 87% over two decades, but SAT scores dropped nearly 100 points as schools boosted grades to protect funding. UC San Diego’s new report shows the real cost: 900 freshmen lacking high-school math proficiency and 70% unable to do middle-school–level work. Experts say thousands of students are being pushed through a system more focused on metrics than mastery. “You can’t fool the workplace,” warns AEI’s Robert Pondiscio. “Students didn’t ask to be put in this position. Shame on the adults who did this.”

New report from UC San Diego shows a 30-fold increase in incoming freshmen who can’t perform basic arithmetic, despite all meeting the UC system’s required high-school math standards. Even worse, 70% can’t do middle-school math, meaning their skills are at a 5th-grade level or below. Experts say this explosion of academic unpreparedness exposes a national grade-inflation crisis: graduation rates have soared while SAT scores have cratered, leaving millions of students with diplomas that mask deep learning gaps.

Netanyahu pushed Trump on pardon request – Axios

The US president last month asked his Israeli counterpart, Isaac Herzog, to fully pardon Netanyahu in a long-standing corruption case

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lobbied US President Donald Trump for stronger backing for his bid for a presidential pardon over a long-running corruption case, Axios has reported, citing officials.

Netanyahu last week formally asked Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon him from a case in which he has been entangled for over a decade. The plea came after Trump, a staunch Netanyahu ally, urged Herzog in November to grant a full pardon.

During a call on Monday, Netanyahu asked Trump for more help in his push for a pardon from the Israeli president, according to Axios. Trump expressed confidence that the effort would ultimately succeed but stopped short of committing to new steps==, the outlet reported, citing US and Israeli officials familiar with the exchange.

“Netanyahu wants Trump to do more, but the president has done all he can do,” one American official told Axios.

Trump’s letter to Herzog last month dismissed the charges against Netanyahu as “a political, unjustified prosecution” and demanded a full pardon. Critics said the gesture risks undermining Israel’s judiciary and turning pardons into political weapons.

Netanyahu is the first sitting Israeli prime minister ever to stand trial, facing charges of fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes in three separate cases alleging he traded political favors for lavish gifts from wealthy associates.

Indicted in 2019, he has pleaded not guilty and insists the case is a politically motivated campaign by the media, police, and judiciary to remove him from power. The trial, which began in 2020, has been repeatedly delayed and is expected to drag on for years.

Critics argue that Netanyahu has used Israel’s ongoing conflicts to insulate himself from legal jeopardy and maintain his hold on power.

In his plea for clemency, Netanyahu said a pardon would allow him to devote “all of his time, abilities, and energy” to leading Israel through what he called “critical times.” Herzog’s office said the president will review the request once he receives the full set of legal opinions.

(I remember at that time when Trump stated that it was questionable that he was fervent about it. As a matter of fact, Trump and the US would have less pressure on us.)

“They get their driver's license, again because we give them to anybody here. They register to vote. It doesn't match with the Social Security number, so they're flagged. But they come in as long as they have an ID, which is that driver's license, and they sign that they're eligible to vote, they can vote.

Then they're no longer flagged. They're in the system. Is that correct?”

Trump announces ‘land strikes’ against drug cartels (VIDEO)

The US military has conducted a number of deadly attacks on boats it claims were linked to Venezuelan-led narcotics smuggling

The US will soon start bombing alleged drug cartel targets on land, US President Donald Trump told reporters in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

The announcement comes amid a massive US military buildup in the Caribbean, which Washington says is aimed at curbing Venezuelan-led drug trafficking. Caracas has denied the accusations, arguing that the US is using them as a pretext to justify invading the resource-rich South American nation.

In recent months, Washington has killed more than 80 people in strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that it claims were smuggling narcotics.

“And we’re going to start doing those strikes on land, too. You know, the land is much easier,” Trump said at the White House. “We’re going to start that very soon.”

He did not expand on where or when the strikes would take place.

Asked to elaborate, Trump added that Washington could expand the strikes to any country allegedly smuggling drugs into the US, specifically mentioning Colombia.

“Anybody that’s doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack,” he said.

The US military deployment in the Caribbean waters off Venezuela, which has now reportedly reached upwards of 16,000 personnel, has been accompanied by increasing political pressure on Caracas.

In recent months, Washington has offered a $50 million bounty for information leading to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and greenlit clandestine CIA operations in his country.

Maduro has denied the drug trafficking allegations, accusing the US of “fabricating a new war” and regime-change operation aimed at seizing Venezuela’s vast resource reserves.

(This is the warning to them,the problem is they don't know if Trump is crazy enough to do all that, that scares a lot of countries, especially when they are laughing about it. KEK)

BREAKING: California Attorney General Rob Bonta announces portal for people to dox and report ICE activity in order to protect illegals in their state and prosecute ICE agents.

"Our job at the CA DOJ is simple: To safeguard the rights of everyone that calls this state home... no matter their background or status.”

California is using your tax dollars to focus all their energy on harboring and protecting illegal alien invaders and demonizing ICE.

The SLEAZEBAG Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, refuses to allow an elderly woman, Tina Peters, who was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections, out of jail! She was convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election. She was preserving Election Records, which she was obligated to do under Federal Law. She has now served more than one year in jail, and has eight years to go. On top of everything else, she is a cancer “survivor.” This lightweight Governor, who has allowed his State to go to hell (Tren de Aragua, anyone?), should be ashamed of himself. FREE TINA!
