SPACE WAR: Study Shows a Single Nuclear Blast Could Disable 99% of Satellites in a Matter of Days.

In the researchers’ simulation – incorporating the 13,300 satellites active in low-Earth orbit as of January this year – a nuclear blast in the region of the South Atlantic Anomaly would disable 25 percent of the entire fleet after one day.

At the end of day three, 78 percent of satellites would be disabled, which would increase to 98 percent after a week, and 99.4 percent by day 15.

Even in a scenario where spacecraft were given strengthened radiation protection, 99.3 percent of all satellites would be disabled within 30 days.

In another hypothetical situation, deploying a much weaker 100-kiloton warhead, neutralizing 99 percent of satellites would take a year.

But radiation wouldn’t be the only peril.

As soon as a detonation occurs and the first satellites lose control over their maneuverability, it would increase the risk of collisions in space, with the researchers estimating approximately 20 resulting collisions within the first two years.

After 10 years, the collisions would have left approximately 3,900 new fragments of space junk orbiting Earth.

I also wonder if the longer-term goal is reducing the Republican bench for 2028.

HE SEEMS SANE: Wizard-hat-wearing former UT-Tyler student faces assault charges after attacking TPUSA event with cane.

He was identified by law enforcement as Ciro Stephen Tomlian, 19, and booked into the Smith County Jail. He faces two counts of aggravated assault and one count of assault causing bodily injury.

The Smith County Criminal District Attorney’s Office could not be reached for comment Wednesday by The College Fix on what formal charges Tomlian may face. A phone call to the jail spokesperson was also not returned Wednesday.

Tomlian was seen in a video vandalizing a Turning Point USA display, ripping down an American flag, calling the TPUSA members “fascist pieces of sh*t,” and using a prop cane to smack a member’s legs before he was subdued and arrested. He was wearing a cape and some sort of wizard hat at the time.

According to his Instagram account, Tomlian goes by he/they/she pronouns.

Of course.

ED MORRISSEY: Whoa: Trump Boots Vance From Iran War. “This sends an emphatic signal to our partners in the Persian Gulf, and to Democrats here in the U.S. Trump does not want a quick exit from the Hormuz crisis. He’s already paid the domestic political risk. Trump can now keep the blockade/embargo on for the next several months and let the IRGC slowly strangle in it. Diplomacy on the war now passes back to Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, who have apparently finally prevailed over Vance in the administration’s internal debates. That amplifies Rubio’s positioning for 2028 if he chooses to run, especially if the outcome of the war gives Trump and the U.S. what it really wants – a regime collapse in Tehran and the larger collapse of the terror networks in the Middle East. Vance had already hinted that he might want to take some time off after this term to be more present with his young family. Trump may have made that choice for Vance.”

YOU F***ED UP, YOU TRUSTED US: Greta Thunberg Laughs at Climate Protesters Following in Her Footsteps.

When Greta Thunberg started skipping school to protest climate change back in 2018, many of us scoffed at her and at the media that gushed over her, propelling her to international fame. We saw what was really happening: a brainwashed child being exploited by her parents and the media.

Well, now even Thunberg seems to realize all that climate nonsense was a joke. She has simply traded being brainwashed for one cause for being brainwashed by another.

A new documentary caught Thunberg cackling at the news that Fridays for Future, the climate movement she founded, still holds demonstrations. Her activism, of course, has moved on to the pro-Palestinian crusade.

Worth noting, Fridays for Future was her baby. She launched it in Sweden at age 15 by ditching class every Friday to demand climate action, and the media turned it into a global phenomenon that pulled millions of students out of school and into the streets.

The moment comes in the newly released documentary On Tanks into the Climate Crisis – How Activism is Criminalised. Thunberg, now 23 with a hideous haircut, hears that a Fridays for Future demonstration is underway in Berlin.

“Is it?” Thunberg asked before bursting into loud laughter. “Really? They still do that?”

An activist friend seated beside her joined in the laughter. Thunberg then turned to the camera and shouted, “Cut!”

Awfully rude of Greta to laugh at her disciples, even after the planet met its demise three years ago:

SARAH HOYT’S SHOCKED FACE IS SCOURING THE DARK WEB FOR 30-ROUND MAGS: Surprise! Dems Immediately Drop Affordability Agenda in Favor of Banning Guns, Limiting Rights. “On day one, the gun confiscation lobby and their puppets filed a bill that would not only undo our ban on red flag laws, but implement a statewide red flag law that takes your guns without any crime, without a conviction and before you ever get your day in court. There is no common ground on confiscation, and Republicans in the Senate had better not go looking for any.”
