Russia’s 300,000 tons of diesel and Rubio’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court hit the same target: the globalist apparatus George Soros built. Susan Kokinda follows the fight from Navi Pillay’s Nobel to Rubio in Athens and a Columbus Day proclamation quoting Pope Leo XIII.
From steel mills to shipyards to spaceports, Mike Steger explores Trump’s “Freedom’s Forge 2.0”—a vision to rebuild American industry, revive the West, and relight the torch of progress.
Trump broke ground on the biggest new American shipyard since WWII, on the old Bethlehem Steel site. A day later, Rubio told the West to reindustrialize or accept decline. With 25 days to go, here's why the midterms will be won on the economy, and why you have to vote on the future.
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?
Why “super” and not “artificial”? Brian Lantz shows SI at work in an Arizona copper mine, aimed at a nuclear-powered Moon, and in service of new forms of human creativity. Watch the full class.
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.
