“Get The Hell Out Of There” – Ohio’s Apocalyptic Chemical Disaster Rages On
While the US government is dispensing millions of dollars in resources to treat balloons as an existential crisis, a small town in Ohio finds itself engulfed in what actually looks like the apocalypse. Perhaps by design, all of the drama surrounding violations of US airspace by Chinese spy initiatives has done well to keep what is becoming one of the worst environmental disasters in recent memory from getting any headlines.

GOP Stops Pretending It Ever Actually Cared About ‘Antitrust Reform’
GOP Stops Pretending It Ever Actually Cared About ‘Antitrust Reform’
To be clear, despite the press narrative to the contrary, I don’t think either party is particularly serious about antitrust reform. Congress is simply too grotesquely corrupt, and the combined cross-industry lobbying opposition to meaningful reform too great, to currently be overcome without some sort of major policy and cultural trajectory shift and a massive upheaval in Congress.

Big Tech Antitrust Push in Congress Is Blunted by GOP-Led House
The appointment of Massie, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology-trained inventor who has filed dozens of patents, signals that the Judiciary Committee under Chair Jim Jordan of Ohio will shift its focus away from legislation aimed at curbing the power of the largest tech companies. Jordan has been more focused on free-speech issues, including big tech’s perceived liberal bias.
“We’re all united in wanting to stop the censorship of conservatives and the suppression of free speech,” Jordan said in an interview. “That’s going to be a focus of the full committee work.”
Funny, that’s not what Massie told Breitbert. 🤷🏼♀️

“There is no pressure on Israel to change”: Palestinians respond to Blinken visit to Jerusalem
Palestinians say Antony Blinken’s statements in Jerusalem show the U.S. remains biased. “When the US draws an equivalence between the butcher and the butchered, then it is necessarily on the side of the butcher,” says Ubai Aboudi.

Don’t Be So Quick To Listen To America’s Retired Generals On Ukraine
Don’t Be So Quick to Listen To America’s Retired Generals on Ukraine: Americans have always loved military leaders, especially generals; the 1970 movie Patton, about the life of the United States’ greatest World War II commander, is still popular in America. When the current crop of active and retired generals speak today, it is unsurprising that most in our country reflexively accept what they say at face value. Especially as their assessments and advice relate to American vital national interests in the Russia-Ukraine War, however, such trust should be reassessed.
