New Zealand-built PAC P-750 XSTOL crashes shortly after takeoff, killing the pilot and 11 skydivers for a total of 12 dead. The engine is a Canadian-made Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34. The crash of N221BN points to likely sudden engine power reduction creating a dangerous "low and slow" condition. It is suspected the pilot tried a quick return to the field or at least to clear the highway and then stalled. Pilot error factors include possible delayed recognition of the power issue. Known issues with this aircraft include PT6 engine compressor turbine blade fatigue cracks that can cause sudden power loss or shutdown, especially after overhaul if trailing edge specs are not exact. Past PAC P-750 XSTOL accidents involved engine power loss on takeoff, climb power rollback, stalls during low altitude turns, and hard landings. Another factor is the plane could have been overloaded. The PAC P-750 XSTOL is known for having little margin for error in takeoff with full skydiver loads if power drops. * foxnews.com/us/11-skydivers-…

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

Elizabeth MacDonough has been Senate Parliamentarian since 2012, appointed by Harry Reid. She has been there since Obama!!! RINO Thune can't seem to stop protecting her. MacDonough's repeated rulings against key GOP priorities show institutional resistance that demands action. Trump publicly called for her immediate removal again this week after her latest Byrd Rule decision blocking the SAVE America Act.

Still holding out for hope on Save America Act... Susan Collins announced support for the SAVE America Act back in February after amendments limited proof of citizenship to one-time registration only, plus photo ID at polls. She backed a related amendment in recent Senate votes but joined other holdouts like Murkowski and Tillis in blocking key procedural moves this month, keeping it short of passage. Pressure from Trump allies continues for Thune to advance it via rules changes.

Ok let’s compromise then. Let’s just make it AS hard to immigrate to the United States, as it is for a white Gen Z male to get a decent paying job out of college. Or we could make it at least AS hard as it is for any Gen Z American to afford a home. That’s fair, right? And that’s why Americans are pissed.

“They are now surrounded and inundated by abundance and defeated by the regularity of security, experiencing them as features of a landscape rather than triumphs of discipline.” Part 3 of 6 of my series Repair Without Formation is out now on Substack, linked 👇🏼

AI data center demand has driven up HDD prices sharply. A Seagate IronWolf Pro, 20 TB hard drive was already over priced at $480 in May is now selling for, the exact same drive, $720. These are the drives that power, among other uses, small businesses and office workstations. This cooked the economy as prices spike at end points then flow up. Consumers are getting shafted!

On the tech monopoly front: Major web sites such as Chase Bank pigeonhole people into monopoly web browsers with no regard for user security or privacy. There are web browsers other than Edge and Chrome and some offer greater privacy and security. Chase blocks them. Consumer choice is a cornerstone of a free open market. In an ongoing struggle Waterfox 6.6.14 just released uses user agent tweaks only for Chase and Discord. Official page stresses these are workarounds with no guarantee of success. Reddit reports confirm many Chase login failures persisted in 6.6.14. Users see the same error after the update. No broad success confirmed yet. Discord feedback is scarce. Isn't Chase Bank saying "no other browsers" a form of web bigotry?

Pit Bulls & attack dogs are weapons, in many ways, more dangerous than a loaded gun. 8 yr old lost his life. The dog will attack atonomously while the handgun will not shoot unless you operate the trigger. People have weaponized dogs. foxnews.com/us/florida-boy-8…

As a white heterosexual Christian and American man: Being gay is a sin before God and against your flesh! America, as a Christian nation should not recognize “pride month.” Pride is the first of the seven deadly sins. Even more than that choosing to participate in the sin of homosexuality goes against the propagation of your species, good order in your society and against the laws of the God that made you. I will not and never have recognized your “month” of recognizing your gross and perverse sin against nature and my God. Have a nice June in preparation for the 4th of July that marks 250 years of these United States of America 🇺🇸 Don’t be gay, because that’s gay… That is all.

I will say the same thing I said in the wake of the death of the criminal George Floyd now that everyone is finally paying attention to the Novak murder in the UK. ALL LIVES MATTER. People are going to try to turn this into a white vs non-white issue. And there are legitimate grievances if you’re a white UK resident. But I hold to standards set by generations of western culture, law, and my faith as a Christian man. All lives matter. I and many other voices warned you about this. It’s not the slow push to the left I have been worried about my whole life. It’s the inevitable snap back to the right. You wanted white racial identity, now you have it. And there is no more dangerous animal than one who is backed into a corner and wounded. As a US Green Beret, I know what happens next, and I offer you this off ramp. Stop with the racial politics. Re-embrace western values. Uphold our institutions that built and sustained the idea that “all men are created equal.” Otherwise what you will have next is a racial war that will only leave dead children, women and the least capable among us in its wake. The left created this grievance over 4 decades. It will take half that to extinguish these flames. Please understand where most of the guns in this conflict are located: gang societies in the urban centers and the rednecks in the rural ones. Those of you in the suburbs…I pray for you. Turn this off now. The power is in the hands the everyday citizen. Me and mine, we’re prepared…
