YES: Hero Oregon Dad Showed the Importance of Defying Restrictive Gun Laws. “Last week, not only did Oregon’s restrictive gun laws fail to stop a shooter intent on killing innocent people, but a passing good Samaritan had to violate those laws to end the murder spree. Fortunately, authorities don’t appear intent on prosecuting Kaylub Giamanco, father to two girls who attend the school, for ignoring the ban on guns on school grounds to save lives. But the law is clearly more of a threat to people with good intent than it is to those bent on doing harm. Such laws should and must be defied, but lawmakers need to remove these legal minefields before they do more damage.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Returning the first samples from a Martian moon: Inside the science of Japan’s bold MMX mission to Mars. “The mission, known as Martian Moons eXploration (MMX), is a first-of-its-kind endeavor to study the origin of Mars’ moons Phobos and Deimos. The robust undertaking includes a landing on Phobos to collect the samples — which will likely be the first from the Mars system to return to Earth — and a search for evidence that could shed light on events during the formation of the solar system billions of years ago.”

ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Where Are the Gendarmes? I’ve seen France’s Gendarmerie Nationale up close and in person, and since I just looked up the French equivalent of tough hombres, they’re the des durs à cuire you don’t want to mess with.
1/3 OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX REVENUES GO TO PAY DEBT INTEREST: With interest on the National Debt reaching $1.05 Trillion in the 2026 federal budget, more than one-third of all tax revenues are being consumed to pay for spending the government couldn’t afford but spent anyway. And don’t miss how that new Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos re-weighted its survey responses to Democrats’ advantage.

ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES: Who’s paying whom? The circular money machine behind the AI boom (or bubble).
A chip supplier invests in a customer such as a data center builder, the customer spends the money on the supplier’s chips, and both companies report growth.
One central bank analysis found that 55.2% of investments in AI firms came from other AI firms.
What’s not clear to investors or the market is how much of this AI boom is being driven by real, end-user demand—and how much might be a bubble.
Take Nvidia. The world’s leading chipmaker is investing in ChatGPT owner OpenAI to support data centers filled with Nvidia chips.
Nvidia will invest US$30 billion in a private funding round for OpenAI and provide a guarantee of up to US$105 billion for an OpenAI data center in Ohio. It will also invest in the company building it.
That helps OpenAI remain Nvidia’s best customer, but it also raises the question: Is the chipmaker propping up the market?
I read a couple of extremely sharp business analysts who believe we might not be in a bubble, and others just waiting for it to pop — so I have no idea. But I do know it’s probably not a good idea to get so deep into bed with OpenAI’s Sam Altman.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 1: THE PLAN 🚨

Post continues:
For example, 99% of people breaking stuff on the streets believe they’re doing it out of an organic uprising. They don’t see that the police have been ordered to stand down. They don’t see that legal services have already been arranged for them. They don’t see that foundations are paying for their bonds.
Similarly here, governors aren’t participating in a pact to destroy the Constitution. Governors simply have agreed to push back on the Insurrection Act. The effect is the same: the governors end up playing a role in a grander plan.
I call this “shared epistemology” in my book Unelected. Motivations differ, people rarely agree to the big evil supervillain framing, but incentives all converge in the same end goal.
No Kings might not agree to explicitly tear down the Constitution, but they nonetheless work with DSA and will turn out millions of people if the right phone call is put in.
Here is one articulation of the plan – and crucially, since then, they have put many NGOs in their places to execute their proper role at all levels when the time is right.
Many more coming.
Buckle up.
