If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember the famous TV commercials where entrepreneur Victor Kiam would come on the screen and say, “I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company [Remington].” Elon Musk took a similar approach; he values free speech so highly that he shelled out $44 billion in 2022 to buy social media platform Twitter (now X), in part to fight rampant big-tech censorship. //

A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens. //

Revolver News set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as “life-years.” Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have been saved by the lockdowns. The results are nothing short of staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus itself.

“We just had a midair,” the pilot of the Hawker is heard saying in an audio recording posted on LiveATC.net, which shares live and archived recordings of air traffic control radio transmissions.

Someone in the control tower responds by saying, “Say what?”

“You guys cleared somebody to take off or land, and we hit them on a departure,” the Hawker pilot says.

The recent accident in Houston is just the latest noteworthy instance in what a major New York Times investigation this summer determined to be “an alarming pattern of safety lapses and near misses in the skies and on the runways in the USA.” According to internal records of the Federal Aviation Agency, the Times reported that these safety lapses and near misses occurred as a “result of human error.” The Times report further revealed that “runway incursions” of the sort described above have nearly doubled, from 987 to 1732, despite the widespread proliferation of advanced technologies. //

While the disturbing decline in aviation safety is complex and multifaceted, we identified two major contributing factors that have received scant media attention. The first such factor is the likely contribution of disastrous COVID-era policies to the staffing shortage of many air traffic control rooms. The second factor is that aggressive affirmative action policies implemented during the Obama administration have resulted in a catastrophic collapse in the quality of controllers. In short, COVID policies have gutted the quantity of air traffic controllers, and diversity policies have gutted the quality of air traffic controllers, creating unprecedented danger for the aviation industry. //

The implications of these findings reach far beyond the scope of aviation, as important as this industry is. Rather, the collapse of the aviation industry must be understood in the context of a broader collapse in our ability to maintain the infrastructure of a First World society. This is a major and significant trend that we highlighted years ago in our coverage of the repeated failures of Texas’ electric power grid.

NPR’s far-left CEO Katherine Maher: "Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done."
0:18 / 2:11
7:46 AM · Apr 17, 2024

Look, it is a staggeringly ignorant thing for anyone to come out and declare that the facts and the truth can become distaff items in the servicing of the narrative. For this to be a set of principles held by someone overseeing a news outlet is downright disturbing. This is — quite literally — Orwellian “Big Brother” (Sister) statism thought-policing taking place. And as we have come to learn, this is hardly Maher slipping up and having the veil slide on her views; she not only holds to these principles of lording over the facts, she brags about it. //

She goes on to say the First Amendment makes it “a little bit tricky” to censor content. She is not holding the 1-A as sacred; she is declaring it an inconvenience to her goals. Controlling speech and driving the approved narrative — with the partnership and coordination of government — is kind of, sort of, a little bit, maybe the polar opposite of what journalism is charged with as its mission statement. This is who NPR chose to lead its news dissemination outfit. Maher is vastly inexperienced and displays all of the traits that run counter to journalistic principles, yet NPR selected her to run its entire operation.

It is not a question of who thought this was a good idea, but “why?” //

The reason why she was hired might be seen in the reaction to all of these revelations in the broader journalism sphere. That is to say – there is no reaction. Uri Berliner’s column has mostly been covered in the press by the reactions it has generated. The actual revelations he delivered and the effects it has been having on the press industry have gone wholly unaddressed. Now we have a CEO of a major news outlet found to have a history of avowed hostility towards facts and the truth in order to drive the news narratives, and nobody in journalism circles seems at all bothered by these revelations.

There is abject silence because so many news divisions operate in this very fashion. //

Katherine Maher is not an anomaly in the industry; she is the very product that is sought out. A generation ago, the idea of trampling on the First Amendment would have generated immediate howls from proper journalists. Today, a news division CEO can boldly tout the need to silence free expression, and she is welcomed with open arms. The only reason this is a possible problem today is that the voices pointing out her disturbing views had not been properly silenced.

Billionaire Elon Musk said this month that while the development of AI had been “chip constrained” last year, the latest bottleneck to the cutting-edge technology was “electricity supply.” Those comments followed a warning by Amazon chief Andy Jassy this year that there was “not enough energy right now” to run new generative AI services. //

“One of the limitations of deploying [chips] in the new AI economy is going to be ... where do we build the data centers and how do we get the power,” said Daniel Golding, chief technology officer at Appleby Strategy Group and a former data center executive at Google. “At some point the reality of the [electricity] grid is going to get in the way of AI.” //

Such growth would require huge amounts of electricity, even if systems become more efficient. According to the International Energy Agency, the electricity consumed by data centers globally will more than double by 2026 to more than 1,000 terawatt hours, an amount roughly equivalent to what Japan consumes annually.

Now, NHTSA's ODI has upgraded the case to a full engineering analysis and includes the model year 2018–2022 Honda Accord, model year 2018–2022 Honda Accord Hybrid, model year 2017–2022 Honda CR-V, and model year 2020–2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid—all told, about 3 million cars on US roads.

By all accounts, this is the first time a piece of space junk has fallen out of orbit and damaged someone's home, at least in the United States. This means Otero and his attorney, Mica Nguyen Worthy, are entering uncharted legal waters as they prepare to file a claim with NASA for damages. //

NASA has confirmed that the object that fell into a Florida home last month was part of a battery pack released from the International Space Station.

This extraordinary incident opens a new frontier in space law. NASA, the homeowner, and attorneys are navigating little-used legal codes and intergovernmental agreements to determine who should pay for the damages. //

But a series of delays meant the final cargo pallet of old batteries missed its ride back to Earth, so NASA jettisoned the batteries from the space station in 2021 to head for an unguided reentry. Ars published details of the circumstances that led to this in a previous story.

This isn't the way NASA prefers to get rid of space debris, but managers decided they couldn't keep the pallet at the space station, where it took up a storage location needed for other purposes. NASA expected the roughly 5,800 (2.6-metric ton) battery pallet to fully burn up during reentry.

But Otero's experience shows that was not the case, and it's possible other fragments may have fallen in the Gulf of Mexico or in unpopulated areas of southwest Florida. //

One of the most well-known reentry debris incidents occurred in 2003 when a piece of the doomed space shuttle Columbia smashed through the roof of a dentist's office in Texas. Fortunately for those who worked there, the Columbia accident happened on a Saturday when the office was closed. The Columbia accident differs from Otero's experience because the shuttle was flying back to Earth for a controlled reentry.

A person in Oklahoma was hit by a lightweight piece of material in 1997 that experts linked to the reentry of the upper stage from a Delta II rocket. It was a glancing blow, and the air helped slow down the piece of debris, so she escaped injury. There was also an incident in 1969 when a fragment from a Soviet spacecraft reportedly hit a small Japanese ship near the coast of Siberia, injuring five people.

When a large Chinese Long March 5B rocket fell out of orbit in 2020, wreckage damaged a village in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. The Long March 5B is a frequent offender of debris because its massive core stage makes it all the way into orbit, an unusual design feature for a rocket. This booster then comes back into the atmosphere unguided. Four Long March 5Bs have been launched to date, with more flights planned in the coming years. //

I wonder what Otero's uncovered expenses entail (beyond what his insurance paid). I'm a bit surprised he has a lawyer. While I get the reasons to hire a lawyer, they aren't cheap and I would only be hiring one if I thought that the outcome would make paying for the lawyer worthwhile.

I wouldn't be surprised if his lawyer is charging a lower fee for the opportunity to become "the space lawyer." Becoming "the guy" for a section of law that has relatively few cases but deep pocketed parties is a good way to establish a comfortable practice.

This would offer a competitive alternative to the Falcon 9—if it existed.

However, it does not. Back in 2020, Russian officials said Amur would debut in 2026. Recently, however, Borisov indicated that its debut would slip to 2028 or 2029. Anyone who follows the launch industry will well know what that means. Amur hardware does not exist, and all plans regarding its development are notional. It may well never exist.

Even assuming a debut by something like 2030, recall that it took SpaceX more than five years after the debut of the Falcon 9 to land a first stage rocket successfully. It took another five years for the company, which is known for moving fast, to begin reusing first stages frequently. Finally, it took 14 years for the first Falcon 9 rocket to be flown 20 times. So if Russia debuts the Amur vehicle in the next five years, we might, under the best of circumstances, expect Roscosmos to fly a stage 20 times by the mid-2040s. //

Shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Russian government approved the development of the Angara rocket in 1992. The first test flight did not happen until 2014, and as of earlier this month, it was still conducting test flights rather than carrying meaningful payloads into orbit.

So if it took Roscosmos three decades to design, build, and test the Angara rocket, which is fairly conventional, how long might it take to develop the more innovative Amur vehicle with a capacity for vertical landings and reuse? //

The 34 charges against Trump were magicked into felonies by the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who contends there's an overarching federal election crime at play. //

The New York State legislature made a similar move for E. Jean Carroll so the founder of LinkedIn and ardent leftist Reid Hoffman could bankroll a new round of lawfare. //

In the fraud case that isn't fraud and which defrauded no one, //

And we haven't even touched on the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid over documents Trump is allowed to have under the Presidential Records Act. Or the attempt to get Trump off the ballot using the 14th Amendment. Even the U.S. Constitution is fungible to these leftists.

And now we're in jury selection in Trump's latest case, which is literally a bookkeeping case in which Trump paid his attorney over time for services rendered that included making sure Stormy Daniels and another woman signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and were paid for them. Daniels has never been charged with extortion for breaking her NDA and demanding more money or she'd tell the media... //

Trump's being publicly humiliated and kept off the campaign trail — a feature, not a bug of this lawfare — because he booked payments to his lawyer in 2017, which, let's note for clarity, is after the 2016 election. Bragg contends these payments were in furtherance of stealing an election. //

We're in a phase where people have not quite figured out what is going on. I suppose that is understandable to a degree, but the fog, normalcy bias and refusal to accept reality is a bill which is going to come due someday, and I don't think anyone will like the cost.

The Ruling Class / left / Democrats, et al, are not afraid of the American people, but they are terrified of Donald Trump. The Covid-19 gaslighting, forced vaccinations of an experimental drug with minimal benefit but astonishingly severe side-effects, the inhumane lockdowns and omnipresent censorship with minimal resistance, together with the jackbooted thuggery against J6 patriots, again, with almost zero protest after the Stasi arrests started, leaves no doubt that the DC Junta does not fear the peasants.

But these absurd kangaroo legal persecutions of Donald Trump clearly demonstrates the elites' fear should PDJT reclaim the White House. And the Ruling Class will stop at nothing to prevent Trump from reclaiming the White House. After all, what is stopping them, or better yet, who is going to stop them?

IMO, the only way out of this and survive is for the Ruling Class, elites, etc. to become suddenly very, very fearful of We the People.

Procedural Wrangling

Cruz asked for a roll call vote on his motion. That vote failed 51-49 (along party lines).

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) then made a motion to adjourn immediately until noon on Tuesday, April 30. That also resulted in a roll call vote, which, again, failed 51-49 along party lines.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) then rose to reiterate the purpose of an impeachment trial and moved to table Schumer's point of order. Resulting in a third roll call vote with the same vote breakdown. //

The roll call vote on Lee's motion also went down 51-49. //

Scott's motion was defeated in a 51-49 roll call vote. //

Kennedy's second motion was shot down 51-49. //

Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) then moved to adjourn until November 6, 2024, to "allow the American people" to have a say in it. As one might expect, this motion, too, was defeated 51-49. //

Kennedy then moved to go into executive session before establishing a "breathtaking precedent." Again, the motion failed 51-49.

Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) then rose and moved to table Schumer's point of order (as to Article II). The motion went down 51-49. //

Murray confirmed that they would indeed establish impeachment precedent.

Finally, a vote was held on Schumer's second point of order (to dismiss Article II). That vote, like all the others, was a party-line split, with 51 Democrats voting in favor of it, 49 Republicans. The result? Article II of the impeachment was ruled unconstitutional and dismissed. Schumer then moved to adjourn, which, of course, passed...51-49.

And the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas went down without a trial. //

Closing Argument

... the Republicans always knew this would never go anywhere due to the Senate majority, but rather than give the Democrats a chance to look like they played fair and gave the Republicans some say in it, they're just blowing it up upfront, so that they can point out that the Democrats are shredding the Constitution, or, as Schmitt put it, "setting our Constitution ablaze and bulldozing 200 years of precedent."

Further, I suspect the points made by Wicker and Kennedy regarding lying to Congress (a felony) not constituting a high crime and misdemeanor under the precedent the Democrats have now set by dismissing Article II of the impeachment without holding a trial will come back to bite the Democrats ... //

Ultimately, Trump isn't who is on trial here, it's the public's adherence to the American philosophy and foundational principles of governance that are being weighed and decided upon. //

Which Amendments in the Bill of Rights apply to Trump? If they don't apply to Trump, how can you be sure they will apply to you?

The indictments all depend on the false bookkeeping concealing another crime. However, the indictments don’t specify what the other crime is. Without the other crime, the NY State felonies become misdemeanors with a 2 year expired statute of limitations. If the other crime turns out to be a misdemeanor federal finance violation, the statute of limitations has already expired on it. How can 2 misdemeanors, one not even in NY jurisdiction, add up to over 30 felonies?

The judge has ruled that Bragg doesn't have to specify what the concealed crime is.

If this travesty causes Trump to lose the election, we will never have a free election for president again. The Bill of Rights will protect noone. The rule of law will become one Party rule. America game over.

Again, content isn't bad, but if we're truly wanting to change hearts, then conservatives should focus more on the arts and not as much on the news and current events side. I think it's got that pretty well covered. //

I think you are right Brandon. But, it's important to recognize an aspect of the problem that I believe flies under the radar.
...
Much of the best work of the past, especially in film, books, and television, came through as "conservative" because the story mattered first. Any conservative "messaging" is usually an organic result of telling stories that reflect, in one way or another, relatable situations of human affairs contending with universal problems. Theoretically, a creator could use a "trans" activist as the protagonist, without preaching either a conservative or liberal message, and provide profound meaning to both conservatives and liberals with a great telling of the story.

The progressives of today are putting out crap. And conservatives are missing the point in art.

But I think this current dynamic is setting us up for conservatives to find their feet and start telling great stories again. People are hungering for it...they require it for their souls and mental health. And progressives are currently missing the mark by a long shot.

McConnell speaking on impeachment trial of Mayorkas: 'Tabling articles of impeachment would be unprecedented in the history of the Senate. It's a simple as that.'

11:58 AM · Apr 17, 2024 //

Madame President, the Senate just swore an oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws of our country. We swore to discharge a duty that is quite different from our normal work. As a court of impeachment, we are called not to speak, not to debate, but to listen — both to the case against the accused and to his defense.

At this point in any trial in the country, the prosecution presents the evidence of the case, counsel for the defense does the same, and the jury remains silent as it listens. This is what our rules require of us as well. But the Senate has not had the opportunity to perform this duty. The Senate will not hear the House Managers present the details of their case against Secretary Mayorkas — that he willingly neglected the duties of his office and that he lied to Congress about the extent of that failure. Likewise, we will not hear the secretary's representatives present the vigorous defense to which he is entitled.
...
This process must not be abused; it must not be short-circuited. History will not judge this moment well. //

The Senate trial of Mayorkas would have established each Democrat running for reelection as a supporter of massive illegal immigration when he/she voted to acquit. Schumer upended 227 years of precedent and the Constitution of the United States to avoid that. However, each Democrat Senator's vote is on record as supporting massive illegal immigration by torpedoing the Mayorkas impeachment trial. The Republican Senate campaign ads still have the Democrat's vote on record. Job done. Nice try, Schumer. Nice work, Speaker Johnson.

Article II accuses him of knowingly making false statements.

This is a violation of 18 USC Section 1001, a felony offense. If this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is? If this is not impeachable, what is? What precedent will we be setting? We need to address this, we need to discuss it in closed session.

For that reason, Madam President, I move that the Senate proceed with closed session to allow for deliberation on this very consequential point of order that he's just made that violates hundreds of years of Anglo-American legal precedent and understanding, on the question required by impeachment rule 24.

when we won, when we had an injunction in place actually for the Biden administration to keep this very important protection in place, they ignored it. We had to go back in front of a judge time and time again to get them to abide by the law. But what we have found out from this administration — and Secretary Mayorkas specifically — is that he is willing, he himself is willing, to subvert the law, to believe that he is above the law, to lie and to commit a felony that this chamber now has said doesn't rise to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor — forever. That is the precedent forever. //

And as the back and forth in that United States v. Texas and Missouri case, from Justice Kavanaugh to the solicitor general of the United States indicated, what is the remedy here? And the Department of Justice's own lawyer said, 'Well, they have the remedy of impeachment.' But I guess we don't actually have that anymore. //

The Senate lost an opportunity to hear evidence to hold someone accountable today. //

This should give the answer to everyone demanding Biden's impeachment... If they wouldn't even hold the trial for Mayorkas there is no way they will hold one for Biden so voting to impeach him just became entirely irrelevant.

At this point they just need to keep the investigation going and keep feeding the information they gain about his corruption into the news cycle all the way through November so he can't get away from it. The political blow with voters is the only thing of any relevance that can come out of an impeachment inquiry now. //
