THE NEW SPACE RACE: NASA taps DoE to help it build nuclear space reactors.

“We are entering the ‘Nuclear NASA-era,’” Isaacman said at a signing ceremony where he and Energy Secretary Chris Wright signed a joint memorandum of understanding. The MOU, the full text of which doesn’t appear to have been published, establishes a framework for collaboration on space nuclear technology. Per NASA, the agreement “unites both agencies” in pursuing its objectives, with work to include research and fuel production, testing, launch integration, and operations.

“Nuclear power will allow us to go farther, operate longer, and field more capable spacecraft and instruments than ever before,” Isaacman added. “The work we’re doing today is laying the foundation for the fission-poweuing NASA’s objred spacecraft of tomorrow and opening an entirely new frontier for exploration and discovery.”

Faster, please.

WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT…:

Liberal have celebrated the live execution of a right wing influencer, a health insurance CEO and fap uncontrollably to Ukraine snuff films.
But now want you to believe they respect life so much they find the execution of a jihadi terrorist inhumane.

WELL, THEY’RE IDIOTS: UK Plans to Welcome ‘Palestinian’ Migrants. “British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood intends to admit thousands of “Palestinian” refugees. British Jews, and not only Jews, are worried that these new migrants will increase the level of antisemitism in the country.”

They’ll likely bring a lot more with them than antisemitism — ask the Lebanese or the Jordanians what happens to countries that admit large numbers of Palestinians.

CORN, POPPED: Hegseth Says Fort Hood Terrorist’s Execution to Be Public.

GETTING SERIOUS: U.S. suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program in foreign worker crackdown.

The U.S. Department of Labor announced it would suspend Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program on Thursday, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said, as the Trump administration continues to take aim at immigration and foreign hiring programs ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Sonderling said the Labor Department won’t accept or process any new applications under the program for a host of companies, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL.

The secretary said Adobe and Microsoft were also suspended “due to multiple active federal investigations.”

“Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H-1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers,” Sonderling said.

Stay tuned, because given what I’ve read about H-1B practices, this could just be the DOJ getting started.

SPOILER: PRICES WENT UP.

Seattle city council wanted to help "exploited" gig workers.

So they forced delivery apps to pay drivers MORE.

"I wouldn’t assume that prices are going to go up," said one politician.

But prices DID go up.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Don’t Get Too Excited About the AWOL Dem Candidates. “Democrats can weather horrible campaign optics because — DRUMROLL PLEASE — their flying monkeys in the mainstream media run interference for them. Aging, impressionable voters still watch the evening news and David Muir won’t be wondering what’s going on with any late-stage campaign weirdness. If Talarico says he has the 90-year flu then, by golly, he has the flu.”

FORTUNATELY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY UP FRONT: The American Dream Costs $5.3 Million — And It’s Getting Pricier.

The report from Investopedia analyzes eight major milestones — getting married, owning a home, buying new cars, raising two children and sending them to college, retirement, paying for healthcare, owning pets, and taking an annual vacation. The total costs associated with these milestones were $5,320,133 in 2026, a 4.1 percent increase from $5,111,632 in 2025, according to the same report, which reviewed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Looking at each individual milestone, the cost of homeownership increased by 7.7 percent. Similarly, the cost of raising two children and sending them to college increased by 8.9 percent, and the cost of retirement also increased by 2.2 percent, according to the report.

Interesting that the cost of retirement is the one item that went up less than the rate of inflation.

This is part of why I said the public mob mentality on here based on allegations in a lawsuit was extremely inappropriate and unhelpful.
