LIGHTNING DEAL: 4-in-1 Laser Level with Line Laser, Drill Dust Collector. #CommissionEarned
THE NEW SPACE RACE: Gravitics Wins Lockheed Martin Deal to Build Three Orbital Carriers for Golden Dome.
The spacecraft, described as orbital carriers, are platforms designed to support space-based missile defense operations. Golden Dome has been discussed largely in policy terms, and the contract signals the program is moving into the hardware phase.
Gravitics will build three orbital carriers under the arrangement. The work falls under the Golden Dome space-based missile defense program, and the platforms are intended to support demonstrations of missile defense technologies in orbit. Gravitics is a startup rather than a traditional prime contractor.
Broader Golden Dome industrial activity was visible this week. A Space Force general and U.S. Senator Jim Banks visited L3Harris to review Golden Dome work separately from the Gravitics selection, indicating activity across multiple companies tied to the program.
This is almost 22nd Century stuff.

OF COURSE HE DOES: Joel Kotkin: Carney aligns with the anti-free speech China and EU. Horrible leaders who are screwing over their people usually don’t want their people talking about it.
RULE OF LAW:
Remember for reasons that have never quite been explained Donald Trump can win an election, but doesn’t have a right to do the things the president does, again because reasons. https://t.co/SCcCQRNIvM

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:
There's a lot of truth in here, as you'd expect from @asymmetricinfo, but there is one more layer: for 30 years, we have allowed only ONE real lender for college tuition, with zero under-writing & ample political pressure to waive even principal payments. Monopoly lending helped… https://t.co/pyS6UyfeUq

I’VE SEEN MORE COMFORTABLE GUESTS OF HONOR IN HOSTAGE VIDEOS: The Body Language of This Black Pastor at an El-Sayed Presser Says It All.
THEY TRIED TO BREAK YOUNGER SON, WHO WAS READING FINE, TO MAKE HIM “GUESS” THE WORDS: “So you hate pancakes?”/ “No, did you read the words I actually wrote? Why are you guessing totally separate and distinct sentences rather than just reading what I wrote?” Is it possible the answer is “Because I was systematically taught to do that?”
THEY WANT QUESTIONS FROM EVERYONE, EXCEPT PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE: In Defense of Bad Faith. “Ask a Trans Person Anything” did not mean Mia Hughes.
TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND SEEING COCKROACHES SCATTER: The militant far-left has spent years hiding in plain sight on Noblogs.org — the anonymous blog network that quietly powers antifa, anarchist, squat, and “solidarity” cells around the world. So on my own time, for free, I scraped the whole thing. Because I kick commie *** for fun and need no government funding or sanction for it.
BECAUSE THE SCIENCE IS TOTES SETTLED: The unerring predictions of climate doom.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE MEME, DEAR FRIENDS:
Turns out all we need to do to win the Canada war is memeTF out of them.

ANOTHER UPDATE: And Eric S. Raymond is doing just that:
ROFL.
Accurate translation of Carney: "WAAH! They hurt my tender widdle feewings!"
This is pussification and ineptitude almost beyond comprehension. https://t.co/wcCExSIOlj
