ALERT: US Coast Guard jumps onto a runaway boat and safely stops it in Maryland. Authorities say the man operating the vessel suddenly fell overboard, and the Coast Guard had to intercept and stop the boat. The incident has raised awareness among boat operators to wear their engine shut-off clip lanyards, which are required by federal law on most boats under 26 feet.

Coal is Still a Force in U.S. Power Generation The arctic blast which put a vast swath of the continental United States into a deep freeze in recent days was not a theoretical exercise - it was/is a real-world stress test of the U.S. electric grid. forbes.com/sites/davidblackm…

The quiet death of DOGE is one of the most revealing moments of this administration so far. A task force co chaired by the world’s best operator Musk and one of the sharpest policy minds of his generation Ramaswamy was given a mandate to cut waste, fire redundancies, and delete entire agencies that have outlived their purpose. Within months they identified hundreds of billions in savings, triggered mass voluntary retirements, and started publishing the federal org chart in public so citizens could see exactly who does what and who does nothing . Then almost overnight it was gone. No press conference, no victory lap, no “mission accomplished.” Just a bland statement from OPM that DOGE “no longer exists as a centralized entity” and its remaining functions have been “absorbed.” Translation the permanent bureaucracy won. They didn’t beat DOGE on the merits. They beat it the old-fashioned way slow walking requests, leaking cherry picked horror stories to friendly reporters, lawfare from union backed NGOs, and quiet threats to leak classified material on anyone who pushed too hard. When the political heat got too high, the White House chose political survival over structural reform and euthanized the one entity that was actually scaring the administrative state. This wasn’t a graceful off ramp. It was a surrender. The tragedy isn’t just that $150–200 billion in identified savings will now evaporate. It’s that the people who proved they could find the waste in record time have been sent home, while the people who spent decades creating the waste get to keep their jobs, their budgets, and their anonymity. DOGE’s real sin wasn’t incompetence; it was transparency. Once citizens could see the org chart, the duplicative programs, the six-figure DEI coordinators sitting in offices that regulate nothing, the game was over. You can’t un see that kind of rot. So the system did the only thing it knows how to do when genuinely threatened it killed the mirror. We will spend the next decade pretending that “absorbing” DOGE into OPM and OMB is the same as keeping it alive. It isn’t. A piranha dropped into a tank of goldfish is dangerous. A piranha chopped up and fed to the goldfish just becomes expensive fish food. Rest in peace, Department of Government Efficiency. You lasted 10 months. Longer than most people thought you would, and nowhere near long enough.

NEW: UFC fighter Ethyn Ewing returns to his construction job just days after his upset win at UFC 322 last weekend. Ewing was called up just two days before UFC 322 after Cody Haddon had to back out due to an injury. Ewing went on to score an upset win over Malcolm Wellmaker. Days later, he was filmed by a fellow construction worker back on the job site. Respect. Video: brucecarter47 / tt.

This is MCKINNON GALLOWAY. She show you how to become UNSTOPPABLE. Wisdom.

As a Veteran that has had a friend take his life post deployment, this one really got to me. It’s a good ending that many don’t get. 😢

The FDA staff should all resign. This is disqualifying stuff.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution 🚨🚨 This is not speculation; it’s straight from a recorded call. Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year. But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly." They reference coordination with Johns Hopkins, "international democracy and conflict mitigation spaces," and efforts to mobilize across borders against what they perceive as domestic authoritarianism. At what point does this become treason? As always, patience as I pull together this thread. 👇

I was young and dumb at one point and thought smart health policy people with degrees from elite schools shld just go in a room and come up with a good plan. “I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.” - Buckley was 100% correct

THE 10 UNSHAKABLE TRUTHS 🇺🇸 1. God is real. 2. There are two genders. 3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels. 4. An open border is no border. 5. Reverse racism is racism. 6. Parents determine the education of their children. 7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. 8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty. 9.

This is a genuinely incredible story: China found in U.S. archives an energy source that could power its entire future for 20,000 years - and they just made it work. I'm not exaggerating. In the 1960s the U.S. - specifically Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee - invented a revolutionary type of nuclear reactor that could run on thorium instead of uranium (much more abundant and cheaper), with no meltdown risk, generating 50x less waste, and requiring no water. Then, due to messy politics, they killed the program in 1969 and fired the visionary behind it. Afterwards the declassified blueprints for the project sat forgotten in archives for decades. That is until Chinese scientists found them and decided in 2011 to run an experimental project in the Gansu desert to see if they could make it work. A few days ago, after 14 years of work, they finally did. I spent many days researching this and wrote the full story - how the technology works, the bureaucratic politics that killed it in America, and why this could genuinely be game-changing. Here's the link to the article: open.substack.com/pub/arnaud…

A civilization is built on a set of internalized values. Numerous civilizations have developed radically different visions of how to organize societies, and these have competed in process akin to Darwinian selection in establishing which civilizational ethos permits for maximal flourishing. American exceptionalism is one such system and it has yielded the greatest society that the world has ever known. Suicidal empathy is going to destroy it because Western tolerance is its fatal Achilles tendon. Remember my words.
