WOMEN NEED THEIR OWN SPACES (CONT’D): Trans-Identified Male Charged After Allegedly Sexually Assaulting Multiple Women While Staying At A Women’s Shelter.

On January 24, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) issued a press release on the incidents, revealing that Katz had first come to their attention in August of 2024 after two women came forward to report they had been victimized by Katz. Following an investigation, Katz was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault.

Despite the serious nature of the charges, Katz was then released with conditions, including to not contact or communicate with any of the complainants; not possess any weapons, firearms or ammunition; and not be within 50 meters of any women’s shelter in Alberta.

Canada needs a “MACA” candidate but reports are that Justin Castreau is loading up the Canadian Senate with sympathizers to thwart a conservative successor.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Chinese launch startup secures early funding for fully reusable rocket plane.

Nayuta Space is developing a series of stainless steel rockets named Black Bird, referring to a creature from Chinese mythology rather than the common blackbird. The Xuanniao-1 (Black Bird-1) will use nine Canglong-1 methane-liquid oxygen engines developed by Beijing Aerospace Propulsion Technology Co. Ltd., a commercial rocket engine maker founded in 2018.

The company aims, eventually, to achieve reusability of both stages. The first stage will, unlike the Falcon 9 for instance, not use a reentry burn, instead relying on “aerodynamic recovery,” using the atmosphere and positioning of the stage to do most of the deceleration. This is to save fuel otherwise used for the reentry burn, which on the Falcon 9 uses three Merlin engines for 20-30 seconds, depending on mission and landing specifics.

Nayuta Space also aims for a Starship chopstick-style catch of the first stage, called an “eagle grab,” thus saving mass through not needing landing legs. The company claims to be the first commercial company in China to develop aerodynamic recovery technology. Second stage recovery is a more distant goal.

The entire recovery field still belongs to SpaceX but that will change.

This is the type of atmosphere that Activision President Rob Kostich is fostering as he doubles down on woke DEI and ESG today.

HR turns a blind eye to open calls for violence and death at these studios.

They’ve gotten away with these for years as they mistakenly thought they were protected and on the right side of history.

There’s plenty of rot in the public sector but one small way to fight it is to stop buying Activision games.

“ENJOY THE WATER”: Trump’s Gift to California is All Wet.

Droughts in California are a lot like famines in Africa: sure, bad stuff happens but the worst effects are entirely man-made. Crops fail, locusts swarm, and food certainly becomes more expensive. But to get a genuine famine, with scenes of mass starvation like we became depressingly familiar with in Ethiopia 40 years ago — that requires epic economic mismanagement, usually by local warlords who use food as a weapon to maintain political control.

I’ve come to believe that Sacramento Democrats use droughts to maintain political control, too. It’s impossible to scare a population into giving up their money and their freedoms for the sake of Gaia when cities aren’t burning down every now and then, and when there’s enough water for everyone to flush their toilets whenever the need arises. (I visited friends in the Bay Area in ’91 or ’92 when toilet flushing was strictly rationed — ugh.)

Enter, stage right: President Donald Trump.

As I’ve mentioned a couple of times to my “Five O’Clock Somewhere” partner in thought-crime Stephen Green, our new president has begun by dealing with all of the things I wanted dealt with first. I couldn’t imagine it getting any better. Until it did.”

RUTHLESSLY, IF THE LAST WEEK IS ANYTHING TO GO BY: How Trump’s team will break down the woke bureaucracy.

Trump is off to a great start, but rooting out the Left’s influence campaign will take more than just executive orders. Congress also needs to get involved.

The House and Senate should revisit the question of whether public sector unions should be allowed to represent federal workers. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, no conservative, opposed the very idea of public sector unions because they pit civil servants against the people’s elected representatives.

FDR’s concerns were born out, as unions like the American Federation for Government Employees loudly opposed efforts to make the bureaucracy more accountable to the people’s elected president.

Public sector unions were once illegal in the federal government—Congress should consider returning to that standard.

The GOP needs to act as though they have 18 months to fix everything because that could be the case.

THIS IS KIND OF A BIG DEAL:

Trump approval currently has NO racial demographic signal. Wild!

White – 55%
Black – 57%
Hisp/oth – 58%

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS: UK navy mistook farting whale for phantom Russians trying to track their nuclear subs.

The UK’s Royal Navy launched a frantic search for phantom Russians off the coast after picking up two mysterious sounds in the ocean — only to conclude that the noises came from a gassy whale, an official told The Sun.

Naval officials feared one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s drone subs had dropped a listening device onto the ocean floor between two islands in Scotland and let rip on an investigation.

The two toots were detected about 100 miles from where the UK’s doomsday subs are based.

“We have been analyzing the sounds and now believe it was a marine mammal. A whale,” the official told the British newspaper.

The sound, first described by analysts as a man-made noise, had never before been picked up on the sensors — leading the navy to confuse Das Boof for Das Boot, according to the report.

To be fair, Russian subs are pretty noisy…

CT Sen. Blumenthal: “someone dropped the ball… This was a really vicious murder that changed our laws.”

Do you get it now, Sen. Blumenthal? Probably not. Perhaps this from Mary Katharine Ham will help: “The president was non-functional and didn’t know what he was signing, and I’m trying to figure out what is a larger scandal than this vacant presidency by committee that went on for years.”

The larger scandal is the politicians like Blumenthal and the legacy media that helped enable the Biden cabal.

DECOUPLING: White House in talks to have Oracle and U.S. investors take over TikTok.

Under the deal now being negotiated by the White House, TikTok’s China-based owner ByteDance would retain a minority stake in the company, but the app’s algorithm, data collection and software updates will be overseen by Oracle, which already provides the foundation of TikTok’s web infrastructure.

That would effectively mean American investors would own a majority stake in TikTok, but the terms of the deal could change and are still being hammered out.

“The goal is for Oracle to effectively monitor and provide oversight with what is going on with TikTok,” said the person directly involved in the talks, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the deliberations. “ByteDance wouldn’t completely go away, but it would minimize Chinese ownership.”
