Barbara's 47-page pamphlet names the midterms enemy: an Empire that used Wall Street and the Communist mob against the American System. Five weeks out, the two systems collide at the UN, in Brazil, and at the pump.
Two conductors. One score. Two opposite ideas of man. This week's Class puts Furtwängler against Toscanini — and tonal against atonal. The fight over your ear is the fight for your children's future.
Media howled over an autopen joke and the Xi summit—while Trump dismantles Kissinger’s 50-year framework, Xi says the Thucydides Trap can be overcome, and Rubio permanently holds both State Dept. and National Security Advisor.
From rebuilding our industrial base to advancing cutting-edge technologies, the incoming administration's plans promise to propel our nation forward, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and reasserting American dominance on Earth and beyond.
Thursday, January 16, 2025, marked a significant day for space exploration.
In the early hours, Blue Origin achieved a major milestone by successfully reaching orbit with the inaugural flight of its New Glenn launch vehicle.
However, the first stage failed in its attempt to land on a ship at sea.
Later that day, SpaceX conducted its seventh test flight of the Starship/Superheavy combination.
While the Superheavy booster successfully returned to the launch tower arms for the second consecutive time, the Starship encountered issues:

At the far left is the Starship/Superheavy in Test Flight 7 configuration, 4th from left is the Saturn V, sixth from left is the New Glenn followed by the Space Launch System, and at the far right is the Ariane 6 that launched the Webb Telescope.
Elon Musk provided an initial report on the Starship loss, with expectations to fly again in February. The investigation will likely focus on recent changes made in the transition from Block 1 to Block 2 configuration.
Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.

Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and…

In the upcoming American Golden Age with Trump, America should provide financial backing to overcome obstacles in perfecting processes and products, fostering innovation and progress across various sectors.
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
Bruce Director digs into your comments from the Aug 29 class: why the British System is inherently entropic, why no equation can predict a creative discovery, and how frontier science backs the American System’s idea of man.
Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System — two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind — robots, machine shops, and factory floors — and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
Four new nuclear reactors went critical in a single month — America's first in 40 years. Brian Lantz on the factory boom the media won't name, and the apprenticeship programs that pay you to help build it. The hardest problem was never the physics.
