‘America has achieved a tremendous scientific breakthrough’
U.S. scientists have scored a breakthrough in fusion technology, showing for the first time that humans can wield the technology in a controlled reaction that combines atoms to create a net increase in energy, a major breakthrough that could eventually lead to a new source of clean, inexpensive power, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Tuesday.

Senate Republicans would rather deal with Democrats than McCarthy as he resorts to threats: CNN's Tapper
On CNN Tuesday, anchor Jake Tapper and his panel reacted to the new threat from House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) that if any Senate Republicans back the bipartisan omnibus spending package, on track to pass the Senate shortly, he will scuttle any legislation those Republicans introduce that reaches the House when he is Speaker.
He cut to a clip of CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju speaking to Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), who appeared unmoved by the ultimatum.
"Well, I don't know if I buy the threat, but I find it — Kevin's in a tough spot," said Cramer. "Statements like that, and statements coming from House Republicans is the very reason that some Senate Republicans feel they probably should spare them from the burden of having to govern."

You mean this bill, dummy?
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=65442
The one that will strip 19 Million Americans of their healthcare, raise taxes on working families with children and still manage to cost $1.7 Trillion dollars while raising another $858 BILLION IN "DEFENSE" FUNDING and making sure that another $40 Billion goes to Ukraine?
Get fucked, Ted. You are too stupid to breathe without assistance.

Putin and his crew, “other Autocracies,” kept puffing up their chests and acting like they can invade or make unreasonable demands of their neighbors. All, while talking about a new world order these past few years.
It’s true, we are seeing a new world order, but this new world order does not benefit them. It’s about a newly decimated Russia, and a China that no longer provides 97 % of America’s antibodies, PPEs and cell phones. This new world order is about making sure our allies do more business with each other instead of with these dictatorships. It's time these manufacturing jobs come home. There is a strong desire to do this based on current events. The realization you are at the mercy of your enemies when you are dependent upon them in any way.
That is the short answer to what is going on globally.

Hey... I'm all for the death of globalism. I've been railing on it since before I was a member here.
I just want to make sure you know what you're cheerleading though, Ted.
All that shit you buy that you don't need? It's going to cost you 10 times as much as it did when it was made in China and India.
Even some of the shit that you DO need, like clothing and shoes.
I hope you're okay with that, because this is still a good thing.

Trump's Justice Department Goons Oversaw an Actual Witch Hunt While He Screamed About One
Sorry, but even in this age of goldfish-brain news cycles, we cannot allow a certain development from last week to just fade into obscurity. You may remember that Donald Trump, American president, loved to say the investigation into whether his campaign coordinated with Russia's effort to influence the 2016 election was a "witch hunt" pursued by shadowy bureaucrats with an ax to grind. In his telling, that investigation was opened for political reasons, without justification, and that's why it dragged on forever and ultimately concluded with Special Counsel Robert Mueller declaring "NO COLLUSION!" and shooting off a bunch of confetti like a gender reveal. It was such an egregious violation that it required a counter-investigation overseen by Trump's attorney general, Bill Barr, and his hand-picked hard-nosed prosecutor, John Durham. They would find justice.
Well, the counter-investigation was everything he said about the Russia investigation, as a fantastic report from the New York Times laid out last week. The former took way longer than the latter and failed to uncover anything they said it would. But more than that, it was an actual witch hunt. By the summer of 2020, it was clear Durham had failed, and the Justice Department inspector general published a report that found no evidence the FBI was politically motivated in 2016. But Trump was absolutely losing it on Fox News, floating that Obama and Biden would be indicted for their offenses against him— "the single biggest political crime in the history of our country"—and the only way they wouldn't be was if his two pet prosecutors, Barr and Durham, decided to be "politically correct." (God forbid!) Enter the Times:
Against that backdrop, Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham did not shut down their inquiry when the search for intelligence abuses hit a dead end. With the inspector general’s inquiry complete, they turned to a new rationale: a hunt for a basis to accuse the Clinton campaign of conspiring to defraud the government by manufacturing the suspicions that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia, along with scrutinizing what the F.B.I. and intelligence officials knew about the Clinton campaign’s actions.
So having failed to produce the goods in time to give Trump some political ammunition for the 2020 election, they just kept the investigation going with an entirely new focus? They came up with nothing, so they started to work the name "Clinton" in there? How is that even the same investigation? It isn't, except for one crucial respect: It continued as a vehicle for Trump's shadowy accusations against his political opponents. As long as the investigation was "ongoing," he had extra salt on his claims that anyone caught up in it was disgustingly corrupt. In this respect, it's a lot like the Ukraine extortion that got Trump impeached the first time: He just wanted Zelenskyy to announce Ukraine was opening an investigation into the Bidens. The subtext, of course, was that Trump would do the rest.
It's clear from his public behavior throughout that Barr—again, the attorney general of the United States—also considered the investigation a political endeavor. As the Times traces, Barr fought the inspector general's report, fearing its (honest) conclusions could endanger his and Durham's probe. He was on Fox News all the time misrepresenting what their counter-investigation was doing and what it had uncovered about the original investigation, just as he'd done with his "summary" of the Mueller report. He waited until after the 2020 election to admit their probe had failed to find evidence to support the conclusion they'd decided on beforehand. And most appallingly, there was The Italian Job.
