"Food insecurity" is a misleading term. If you didn't know any better, you'd imagine it was associated with chronically missed meals. The food insecure are actually considerably fatter!

How many Americans actually just straight-up starve to death? In the latest data, from 2024, there were 22 cases. And not even one of them was about poverty making it unaffordable to obtain food.

"We're cutting ties with Space/X in favor of a bankrupt company with zero active satellites which is completely dependent on Space/X for all future satellite launches." That'll show them.

there's actually no reason an american congressman has to comment on the french riots, which makes ro khanna's coming out *in favor* of the chaos all the more surreal. guy truly could have just said nothing.

MORE TRANS VIOLENCE Alexandros Paporakis was arrested in Illinois after he allegedly planned to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple. He is reportedly receiving hormone injections for his "gender transition," even while in custody. Paporakis has been charged with making terrorist threats and other gun charges. These people are a danger to society

Well. Mr. Smarty-Pants. Let me give you the run-down of what you just said: You wish to build a Mega-Constellation of high-bandwidth high-density low-cost satellites with affordable, portablöe ground terminals and subscription plans. For that you need: - highly advanced phase-array antenna steering signal and DSP processing ASICS - you do not have them - the largest PCB factory on the North American Continent, based in EUs population x2 - you don't have it - a satellite manufacturing facitly that can pump out a 2-digit amount of satellite PER DAY - you do not have it - space ports that can support launches with single-digit days of turnaround - you do not have them - an - at least - partially resuable launch vehicle with just days of turnaround time and a corresponding manufacturing cadence for ALL components of such launch vehicle - you do not have it - about a thousand medium to little things more to make any of this work Let me pull you back to reality: SpaceX currently launches beyond of 90% of mass to orbit per year. Not in the US. GLOBALLY. China can't compete. No one in the US can compete. India can't. Japan can't. SpaceX - led by Musk and Shotwell - is a global Unicorn. Europe - and the EU and particular - have no idea, no framework - no plan and NO PATH to make this happen in any reasonable amount of time that one might consider short- to mid-term. You CANNOT copy it if you tried. You could spend half the EUs budget on it and end up with 10 satellites in orbit. You are DELUSIONAL. If you truly wish what you say, you'd appear in front of the European Commission and Parliament tomorrow and demand deletion of 80-90% of our red tape and bureaucratic lunacy. Until you do that, you're a useless moron.

Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS. Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

SITUATION UPDATE: The alleged perpetrator is Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old citizen of Saudi Arabia.

We don’t owe anyone an apology for the civilization our ancestors built. We owe it to the next generation to defend it. Happy Columbus Day!

More than five centuries ago, the son of a wool weaver from Genoa sailed westward to widen the boundaries of the known world. Across a vast and punishing Atlantic, the voyage exhausted the patience of its crew, but never the conviction of its captain. Christopher Columbus kept going. Two hundred and fifty years after America’s founding, we still marvel at the restless spirit of discovery that revealed the New World to the Old. President Trump has defended Columbus against the radical left’s campaign to erase his legacy. Now, Columbus again stands where he belongs – within the great procession of figures who shaped our national story. Happy Columbus Day. Sail On.

On March 14, 1891, eleven Italians were lynched in New Orleans. It was the largest mass lynching in the American South. "He (President Harrison) knew Italians faced bigotry and institutionalized discrimination. He knew they faced mob violence throughout the land. He wanted to make things right — and in the process show the world a different side of America. "He settled on two courses of action. First, he agreed to pay each family of the lynched Italians $25,000, a substantial sum in 1891. Then he did something remarkable: he decided to use the office of the president to acknowledge the contributions of Italians and Italian Americans to the United States. "An American president, for the first time, would affirm officially the rightful place of Italians in the fabric of American life, turning a new page in how Protestant America saw Catholic immigrants. No longer, he wanted to make clear, could the racist editors at the New York Times approve of the lynching of anyone anywhere in the United States without rebuke." The Italian men lynched were Antonio Bagnetto, James Caruso, Loreto Comitis, Rocco Geraci, Joseph P. Macheca, Antonio Marchesi, Pietro Monasterio, Emmanuele Polizzi, Frank Romero, Antonio Scaffidi, and Charles Traina. medium.com/@nevaer1/the-lync… @TheIACRL
