WHY, IT’S ALMOST AS THOUGH LEFTIES ONLY APPROVE OF KILLING THE INNOCENT:

THE NEW SPACE RACE: NASA taps DoE to help it build nuclear space reactors.

“We are entering the ‘Nuclear NASA-era,’” Isaacman said at a signing ceremony where he and Energy Secretary Chris Wright signed a joint memorandum of understanding. The MOU, the full text of which doesn’t appear to have been published, establishes a framework for collaboration on space nuclear technology. Per NASA, the agreement “unites both agencies” in pursuing its objectives, with work to include research and fuel production, testing, launch integration, and operations.

“Nuclear power will allow us to go farther, operate longer, and field more capable spacecraft and instruments than ever before,” Isaacman added. “The work we’re doing today is laying the foundation for the fission-poweuing NASA’s objred spacecraft of tomorrow and opening an entirely new frontier for exploration and discovery.”

HEGSETH: Fort Hood Terrorist’s Execution Will Be Public.

Not only is Secretary of War Pete Hegseth planning to have terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan executed at the very base where he committed mass murder, but the public will be able to watch the execution. And hell yes, I’m excited.

Executing Hasan is justice, even if it is coming more than a decade after the massacre. But filming the execution and having it occur on the spot at Fort Hood where Hasan slaughtered 13 innocent people in the name of Allah is poetic justice. Unlike so many military bureaucrats before him, Hegseth knows how to punish an Islamic jihadi and ensure that the whole world sees America is no longer run by namby-pamby, pro-Islamist, woke cowards. There have been multiple Islamic terrorist attacks in America this year, and it is important for our military to send a strong message.

Hegseth told Human Events’ Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a “no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he’s a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we’re gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we’re gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it’s gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.”

Naturally, because Orange Man Bad, this is surprisingly controversial, even in the age of “The Assassination Fan Base:”

WELL, THEY’RE IDIOTS: UK Plans to Welcome ‘Palestinian’ Migrants. “British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood intends to admit thousands of “Palestinian” refugees. British Jews, and not only Jews, are worried that these new migrants will increase the level of antisemitism in the country.”

They’ll likely bring a lot more with them than antisemitism — ask the Lebanese or the Jordanians what happens to countries that admit large numbers of Palestinians.

NO NEED FOR THIS, TEHRAN — THE PRESS IS ALREADY ON YOUR SIDE:

GETTING SERIOUS: U.S. suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program in foreign worker crackdown.

The U.S. Department of Labor announced it would suspend Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program on Thursday, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said, as the Trump administration continues to take aim at immigration and foreign hiring programs ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Sonderling said the Labor Department won’t accept or process any new applications under the program for a host of companies, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL.

The secretary said Adobe and Microsoft were also suspended “due to multiple active federal investigations.”

“Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H-1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers,” Sonderling said.

Stay tuned, because given what I’ve read about H-1B practices, this could just be the DOJ getting started.
