MIAMI 2017 2025: For New Yorkers Looking to Flee, a Cautionary Warning: Florida Is Not the Paradise You May Envision. “Yes, we have been the preferred destination for many a New York transplant, but as a lifelong resident of this dysfunctional peninsula, allow me to list off a number of reasons that you should think four times, or more, about relocating to this spit of land parked in the temperate south. You need to be made of a certain character to thrive here, and the comforts you have taken to heart in your area simply do not exist here in the psych ward waiting room that is Florida.”

ENERGY DOMINANCE:

ANYONE SURPRISED?

MORE NUKES IS GOOD NUKES: The Secret Ingredient to AI Dominance? Nuclear Power.

There are many reasons for this increase in demand, but a primary driver is the recent AI boom, which has resulted in surging demand for reliable electricity, primarily due to the rapid deployment of data centers and the need for more advanced computational power, which consumes significant amounts of energy. In the United States, data center demand is expected to account for an estimated twelve percent of total power consumption by 2030 (a three-times increase from current levels). And by now, we’ve all heard the anecdote: an AI search takes ten times the amount of energy as a normal internet search. Pandora’s box has been opened, and the global population is demanding more energy, not less.

The Trump administration (through recent executive orders and new partnerships such as “Stargate”) has made its intentions clear — the United States will lead the world in the AI revolution. It is a matter of national security. The only thing holding the country back is “speed to power.” So, there’s only one thing to do — time to start building.

There are over sixty planned and considered projects for advanced nuclear reactors across North America. At a handful of sites, construction has already begun, and concrete is being poured. And the more we build, the more we learn. We’ll continue to bolster supply chains and the workforce pipeline. We’ll continue to move down the cost curve. Believe it or not, the United States has successfully scaled nuclear before, and we’re about to do it again.

Faster, please.

JOHN KASS: Democrat Anguish Will Only Get Worse.

From New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, the big cities that are led by Democrats are dying. And the Democrats who lived there know this. It presses down upon them.

And the recent ascent of the surging wild-eyed communist Zohran Mamdani over the tired and listless female groper and grandma killer Andrew Cuomo in the New York Democrat mayoral primary? It’s a gateway into the anguish of the Democrats.

“People go to cities and states where they can invest money and get a return on their investment,” billionaire grocer John Catsimatidis told Fox News after Mamdani’s stunning victory. “That’s what capitalism is all about. They’ll take a vibrant city and kill it.”

The left has already killed Chicago. Los Angeles was burned by fire and riots. New York still has a pulse, but the communist will squeeze the vibrancy of the city that never sleeps. And if things don’t go his way, his army will tear the city apart. Some of us have seen this movie before. It ends with illiterate cave dwellers wandering past the broken Statue of Liberty, unaware of what it once meant.

MELANIE PHILLIPS: Nuremberg at Glastonbury.

Apparently the British government is shocked that the Bob Vylan spot was live-streamed on the BBC. The Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy — the former chair of Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East — has asked the BBC Director-General Tim Davie for an “urgent explanation” about what due diligence it carried out into Bob Vylan. Nandy’s spokesman said:

We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury.

Palestinianism has not just become the cause of causes for the young and progressive classes. It has also become viewed — obscenely — as a moral dividing line between those who lay noisy claim to conscience and those who they claim side with evil. The very reverse is the case. We are watching the performative moralisation of mendacity and murderous hatred.

In Britain, this has now reached critical mass. And both the BBC and the Labour government have played a key role in bringing about this wholesale hijack of conscience and repudiation of justice and rationality, and fuelling this current pre-pogrom climate of hatred of Israel.

Day in, day out the BBC pumps out Hamas propaganda — either from Gaza “sources” or laundered through the utterly compromised and complicit humanitarian and human rights establishment — that twists demonstrable facts in order to represent, entirely falsely, the Israeli targets of genocide as aggressors and human rights abusers.

Through serial lies and libels, through radical decontextualisation and selective reporting, the BBC has presented the IDF as demonic child-killers bent upon starving the Arabs of Gaza and wantonly killing them. Those screaming on innumerable BBC broadcasts about the numbers killed by the IDF in Gaza never acknowledge that, according to Hamas’s own statistics, more than 70 per cent of them were fighting-age males. If the BBC has ever reported on the Gazans being murdered by Hamas for the crime of receiving food aid from the Americans and the Israelis — as they are — or the Gazans expressing hatred of Hamas and gratitude to America and Israel — as they are— this must have somehow slipped under the radar.

The BBC is a principal engine of incitement to hatred of Israel. It embodies a hermetically sealed thought system in the cult of progressivism and, like the university humanities departments that closed the minds of its staff, it is beyond redemption.

As for the Starmer government, this has not only failed to tell people that this whole demonisation of Israel is based on distortion and blood libels but it has actually promoted them itself.

Meanwhile in America: State Department Looks To Revoke Visa For British Rappers Who Chanted ‘Death To The IDF.’ “A senior State Department official told The Daily Wire that it is ‘already looking at revocation’ of their visas ahead of a roughly twenty-city tour through the United States, with performances planned in several major cities, including Washington, D.C. ‘As a reminder, under the Trump Administration, the U.S. government will not issue visas to any foreigner who supports terrorists,’ the senior official said.”

UPDATE: State Department revokes visas for Bob Vylan after ‘death to the IDF’ chant.

VIDEO: Hegseth Slams Lying Media. “And then the instinct the instinct of CNN, the instinct of the New York Times, is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don’t care what the troops think, they don’t care what the world thinks, they want to spin it to try to make him look bad, based on a leak.”

TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO JUSTICE HAS GONE BEFORE! Biden’s Lone SCOTUS Pick Wonders What Aliens Would Think Of The Court’s Latest Decision.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett may have penned the majority opinion in the Supreme Court’s recent case on birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions. But it was Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and her dissent that landed in the spotlight — and not in a good way.

In her opinion for the 6-3 majority in Trump v. Casa, INC, Barrett jabbed at Jackson, suggesting that her dissent was “untethered” to any past precedent and stood in direct opposition to the Constitution.

“We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’S argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary,” Barrett wrote.

But a closer look at Jackson’s dissent reveals that Barrett left out some of the strangest rabbit holes down which Jackson attempted to take the Court.

“A Martian arriving here from another planet would see these circumstances and surely wonder: ‘what good is the Constitution, then?’” Jackson wrote in her dissent.
