BRING IT ON: How JetZero aims to be the ‘SpaceX of aviation.’

It takes a moment to adjust. After a lifetime of flying in metal tubes, the reimagined cabin of a JetZero blended wing body jetliner is a revelation. Multiple aisles lined with wider seats and assigned overhead storage fans out in an open triangular floor plan. A back corridor for bathrooms keeps queues away from seats, while rear engines enable a quieter space. It’s an antidote to the loud claustrophobic hellscape that is commercial jetliner travel, especially for those of us in steerage.

This concept display is a compelling glimpse into an aviation future that JetZero co-founders—CEO Tom O’Leary and CTO Mark Page—are hoping to steadily advance towards reality over the next decade. If successful, their blended wing body aircraft could be the first major redesign of a commercial passenger jetliner to enter production.

Yes, please.

RON HART: “Let’s face it. “Gun to the head” honest, only 5% of the country would let Joe Biden watch their kid for an hour while they ran to the store. He has been the worst president of modern times. Even Jimmy Carter started comparing him to Jimmy Carter.”

Trump’s younger than Biden, and much more together, but to be honest, he’s lost a step. He’s not the Trump of 2016.

Plus: “Dems had to move their first primary out of Iowa. Iowa is one of the top ten states in work ethic, literacy and graduation rates. There is no way that state should be picking the best Democrat nominee; it is the least representative of their current party.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: House Kicks $34 Trillion Debt Can Down the Road Under Cover of Night. “I love it when Congress isn’t working because that means they aren’t spending any extra money at the moment. Last night, the House of Representatives worked late, which is never a good sign. That only happens when they’re doing something that will give us all hangovers then next morning whether we drank anything or not.”

NIFTY: The U.S. Air Force and MIT Successfully Fly Aircraft Using ‘Jam-Proof’ AI-Enhanced Magnetic Navigation. “The cutting-edge technology, which uses variations in the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, is difficult to jam or spoof, making it a necessary tool for the Air Force. The success of MagNav is potentially the first critical step toward implementing the system across a number of military and civilian platforms, including aircraft, submarines, drones, and even hypersonic glide vehicles.”

FALLOUT: She had a dream job. Now, she’s part of a massive brain drain hammering Russia.

A few years ago, she landed a dream job as an adviser at Russia’s central bank in Moscow.

Prokopenko loved Moscow. The city was vibrant and beautiful — full of restaurants, music and culture. But by far, her favorite place was Meshchersky Park, a giant forest in the city, where Prokopenko would go running.

“It was my favorite place. I always felt really great in there,” she recalls.

But Prokopenko’s Meshchersky runs are a thing of the past. She left Moscow, as well as her job at the central bank, shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Prokopenko now works at the German Council on Foreign Relations. Her focus is still the Russian economy — she publishes new analyses and data every week.

She says she’s glad to be there, but it isn’t home.

“I’m missing Moscow a lot,” she says. “I miss Moscow every day.”

Prokopenko is part of a massive wave of young Russians who have fled their country. Though hard numbers are hard to come by, hundreds of thousands are estimated to have left Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.

That has contributed to a reduction in Russia’s labor force.

According to one estimate, more than 1.3 million Russians under age 35 left the Russian workforce just last year alone, though that number could include other factors such as workers taking jobs not officially captured in statistics.

Russian demographics were terrible even before Putin’s stupid war drove people out of the country, not to mention tens of thousands of combat deaths.

IT’S ON: DeSantis Let Slip the Dogs of War Against Trump in Iowa. “DeSantis wasn’t going to get anywhere soft-pedaling his opposition to Trump as many Republican candidates appeared to do in 2016. Fearing Trump’s acid tongue and unerring aim in going for the jugular, Trump’s opponents refused to go toe-to-toe with candidate Trump.”

HOW CORRUPT IS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE? This Corrupt. “The Deep State isn’t a cabal, per se. They aren’t gathering a (now marijuana) smoke-filled room plotting the downfall of America. Rather, they are a bunch of high-level bureaucrats who believe that they have the wisdom and the power to run the country, all the way down to what you are allowed and not allowed to say. They are America’s nomenklatura. The Elite run things regardless of who is in power, although they work hard to make sure that Democrats are in power since that party is happier to expand the money and power the nomenklatura have. The DOJ is at the top of the heap because they control the levers of coercive power, although you may have noticed that even the IRS and EPA now have heavily armed agents to bully citizens. . . . The Durham Report outlined many of these dangerous breaches of law, but of course, nobody is going to pay a price for the damage they have done either to the people involved, the country, or the rule of law. Instead, they are celebrated in the MSM.”

ARE THEY FOR REAL, NOW? ‘Menstrual Equity For All Act’ to end ‘period poverty’ brought back before Congress.

At the risk of grossing out most of the readers, where and when I grew up we didn’t purchase “menstrual products.” We did what your grandmother did, and used cloth, which we washed. You’d think the oh, so ecologically friendly left would prefer that right? But no, they feel a need to put their hands into our wallets to buy pads and tampoons for other people. And don’t give me “Were so strapped they couldn’t afford–” I have never heard of this in the US, and trust me, I’ve been strapped at time. This is one of the most ridiculous excuses to point a gun at my head* I’ve ever seen.

*When you levy a tax you’re extorting money by force. While some taxes might be unavoidable they should pass a sniff test of “is this reason enough to point a gun at someone’s head?”
