IT SHOULDN’T BE A BIG DEAL TO BE AGAINST MURDER, YET HERE WE ARE: Black Americans Who Support the Karmelo Anthony Verdict.
FLASHBACK: Oh Good, Screwworms Are Back.
Over the next 30-40 years, the there was a major push for screwworm eradication in North America. It was driven out of the US in the 60’s. With enormous international cooperation, they were pushed out of Mexico and Belize in the 80’s and eradication was pushed down to Panama by the 1990’s.
By a happy accident of geography, Panama was an excellent choke-point for the screwworm eradication. We could effectively maintain a screwworm border in Panama with a minimal effort because the geographic area to sterilize was physically small and politically stable. This also meant that screwworm control could be maintained through limited screwworm production facilities based in Panama and managed by COPEG, a joint commission between Panama and the US. COPEG is an institution specifically founded to maintain control over the screwworm barrier in Panama.
It wasn’t plausible to push screwworm elimination past Panama for a number of reasons that include political instability and the fact that Brazil is an enormous and terrifying place.
But then something went wrong.
Here it is: “The screwworm barrier in Panama cost $15 million a year. This is zero dollars to the US government. This program was basically free and it protected an entire continent from billions of dollars of yearly damage.”
And it seems to have gone to hell in 2022-2023 under the Biden administration, when “They were almost certainly transported via unchecked northward migration of people and animals.”

GOOD: FCC lifts looming deadline for Amazon Leo satellite broadband constellation.
Amazon won regulatory approval for the Amazon Leo network in July 2020. The FCC’s authorization came with two deadlines. First, Amazon had to launch half of its 3,232 satellites by July 30, 2026, in order to maintain authorization to launch the rest of the network. The regulator gave Amazon a deadline of July 30, 2029, to have all of its first-generation satellites in orbit.
It has been apparent for some time that Amazon would not meet the FCC’s requirement to launch half of its satellites—1,616 spacecraft—by the end of next month. Amazon filed an application in January requesting the FCC extend the deadline to July 2028 or waive it altogether. The commission decided on the latter option, removing any time limit for the 50 percent deployment milestone, but keeping the July 2029 deadline in place for the entire constellation.
“Waiver serves the public interest by promoting a second large satellite broadband constellation,” the FCC wrote. “At this time, only one operator, SpaceX, is providing broadband to American consumers from low-Earth orbit. Amazon Leo’s service promises to be ‘groundbreaking,’ both in quality of service and affordability for consumers. Amazon Leo has further invested significant resources into meeting its commitments, including more than $10 billion to deploy the system along with investments in physical infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities.”
Consideration of public interest and Amazon’s multibillion-dollar investment in Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, are among the “special circumstances” the FCC cited for doing away with this summer’s deadline.
Amazon has done everything it can, including manufacturing satellites, building infrastructure, and even buying launches from rival SpaceX. It’s hardly the company’s fault that two of the launch vehicles it needs are currently grounded.
POLL, NOT THAT YOU NEEDED ONE: Democrats Willing to Throw Black Voters Under the Bus to Gain Power.
YOU’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BLOG: California Election Fraud Update. “Everyone and their dog is already reporting on how California’s Democratic fraud machine stole a runoff spot from Spencer Pratt and gave it to Nithya Raman so they could prevent a Republican from even having a chance of being elected mayor of Los Angeles. The steal was so brazen (just like those 3 AM ballot dumps in 2020), either Democrats feel immune to DOJ prosecution, or else the graft they rake of Los Angeles is so vital for running the entire Democrat machine they can’t even risk Pratt getting into a runoff. But that’s not the only fraud news out of California…”

I FOLLOWED THIS STORY FOR DAYS AND THERE’S STILL NO FULL EXPLANATION: Questions Remain About Tense Moment Aboard ISS.
Even if you’re not normally interested in what’s happening in low Earth orbit, you probably heard that last week NASA ordered its personnel aboard the International Space Station to button themselves up in the docked Dragon spacecraft and await further instructions should they need to make a hasty departure. Known as Safe Haven, this emergency procedure is performed whenever there’s an elevated risk of damage to the Station.
NASA has provided an update on what happened, but it arguably leaves more questions than answers. Usually, crews go to their Safe Haven because some bit of space junk has wandered to close to the orbiting complex, but this time it was because Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikayev were getting ready to start cutting into the walls of the PrK transfer tunnel in an effort to address its persistent air leak.
After about an hour and a half, the Russians called off the effort and NASA gave their people the OK to leave the Dragon and return to their normal duties. NASA Press Secretary Bethany Stevens later posted on social media that the space agency would “look forward to working with Roscosmos on a collaborative approach to address the leaks” in the future. There’s currently no word on what a future repair attempt may entail, or when it would be attempted.
There’s also no word on why they called off the repair work.
Very curious.
IT’S ACCELERATING: Social Security retirement trust fund may be depleted in 2032, new trustees report finds.
A Social Security trust fund used to pay retirement benefits may run out in late 2032, three months earlier than what had been projected last June, according to the new Social Security Administration annual trustees report released Tuesday.
Social Security uses incoming revenue from payroll taxes to pay benefits. When benefit payments exceed payroll tax income, the program relies on the trust funds to help make up the shortfall.
The report said that if the fund is depleted as projected, Social Security will only be able to pay 78% of retirement benefits.
Plan accordingly, because either benefits are going down, taxes are going up, or inflation and debt are going up. Or some combination.
EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS FAKE, EXCEPT FOR THE NAZI STUFF: Platner’s ‘living on the sea’ claim dismantled by critics as financial docs paint a different picture.
Platner’s 2025 financial disclosures show that he listed “other $5,001” as his annual income from farming oysters. The candidate’s entire business is only worth between $50,000 and $100,000, which accounts for his boat, lines, anchors and other farming equipment, per the disclosure.
He earned an additional $3,000 serving as the harbor master for Sullivan, Maine, — a role the Washington Free Beacon reported was largely clerical and where he was responsible for overseeing the 17 boat moorings on the small town’s coast.
Taken together, these sums are dwarfed by the $4,800 Platner says he receives through monthly disability payments. Platner is legally entitled to such a sum owing to injuries he suffered while serving in the armed forces.
“I’ve got a couple herniated discs. My shoulder’s a wreck. My knees bother me,” Platner, who saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, told News Center Maine in an October 2025 interview.
Despite his reliance on disability, Platner has consistently referred to himself as an “oyster farmer” while campaigning for Senate.
In a September 2025 interview with the New Yorker, for example, he called himself a “small-town oyster farmer.”
While Platner credits federally funded healthcare for his ability to start a business, a number of other factors have assisted him along the way.
A restaurant owned by Platner’s mother, for instance, is the only customer listed on his financial disclosures as purchasing oysters from him. Additionally, Platner’s farm is located on a private island owned by his business partner’s family and he received a $200,000 loan from his father to purchase his home, the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.
He’s certainly good enough getting other people’s money to qualify for employment in Washington.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Friendly Reminder that California Is the DNC’s Testing Ground. “The reason that Gavin Newsom thinks that he is the most popular boy at the Democratic National Committee dance and should be the party’s nominee for president in 2028 is that California is where the Democrats test out all of their insanity. Election fraud. Gun control. Unhinged welfare schemes for illegals. The Dems try it all out in the Golden State in the hopes of exporting everything nationwide.”
UNNATURAL:
The data out of Oregon really are astonishing.
A phenomenon once observed in about 1 in 20,000 adult men and 1 in 50,000 adult women (DSM-5) is now being diagnosed and medically treated in at least 1 in 250 17-year-old girls in Oregon.

Alternate Insta-headline: Leave them kids alone.
WELL, YEAH: White House border czar Tom Homan blames New York Gov. Hochul for promised ICE surge.
White House border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday blamed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for a promised surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to New York City.
But Homan would not say when he expected that surge of ICE agents to happen, when questioned by reporters at the White House.
“You can expect more ICE agents to go to New York because Gov. [Kathy] Hochul signed legislation that ended our … agreements” that allowed the agency to delegate state and local law enforcement officers to perform immigration enforcement functions under ICE oversight, he said.
The agreements under ICE’s 287(g) program were used to identify and process removable immigrants who were in jail after being arrested by local authorities on unrelated charges.
“We’re going to surge resources in New York,” he said. “We have to.”
Don’t like ICE in your cities? Then stop electing pols who flout immigration laws.
ROBERT SPENCER: All It Took Was a Single Non-Woke Word for This Man’s Life’s Work to Come to the Brink of Ruin. “A Danish man spent years building a clothing company. Over the years, he fashioned, through hard work, careful study, trial and error, attention to trends, and sheer perseverance, a popular clothing brand. In the last few days, however, he has come to the brink of ruin, and of seeing all his labors come to naught.”
THIS IS HARDLY SHOCKING: Germany, France scrap joint fighter jet program.
The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program, launched in 2017, aimed to build a next-generation fighter to replace Eurofighters and Rafales by around 2040.
The move to scrap one of Europe’s largest defense projects comes as Western military officials warn of a mounting threat from Russia and the United States intensifies pressure on Europe to take care of its own defense.
The more than €100 billion ($115 billion) project, launched in 2017, was once billed as a symbol of Franco-German military unity.
But it has been plagued by years of political and industrial disputes.
French arms giant Dassault Aviation has demanded significantly more control over the project than its industry partner, European consortium Airbus Defence and Space.
The two companies clashed over control of the project’s next phase, access to intellectual property and, above all, differing requirements for the aircraft.
Why can’t Germany and France just get along like they used to in the olden days?
