First Stop Houston, on the way to the moon?
Having left the factory earlier, Blue Origin's Blue Moon MK1, safely in its transport container, made its way to Port Canaveral and was lifted onto "Sarah Boredelon" for the journey to Houston.

Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night “Dear Donald” texts or call him “daddy.”

🔥 MACRON (throwing shade at Trump): "We do prefer respect to bullies…. And we prefer rule of law to brutality. Having a place like Europe which is predictable, loyal, and where you know the rule of the game is the rule of law, it's a good place.”

Puro ignorante en X.

Para el ingreso y aterrizaje de aeronaves militares eXtranjeraS solo se necesita el permiso de la SEDENA.

Para tropas o personal armado se necesita además la aprobación del Senado.

El avión hércules está en toda regla.

The letter Trump sent to Norway’s PM.
“Since your country chose not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping eight wars PLUS, I no longer feel obligated to think purely about peace. I will now think about what is good and proper for the US.

The DOJ is investigating Tim Walz for the same reason ICE invaded Minnesota: it's retribution for Walz calling Donald Trump "weird."

Our president is a fucking sociopathic maniac.
