I wonder how long the 🇦🇺 government is going to allow this 🇷🇺 terrorist finder to operate from their Sydney consulate. He’s a convicted felon and 🇷🇺 should either remove him to 🇷🇺 or 🇦🇺 should CLOSE this consulate, which is a convenience to a country that lists us as “unfriendly”
Aussie Cossack, while holed up in the Russian consulate in Australia, tried to fund Irish neo-Nazi Justin Barrett. Barrett declined the offer and told @Restitutor_ that the Tate brothers were somehow involved as well. Cossack is the deputy head of the Australian branch of Malofeev’s Double-Headed Eagle Society.

I don’t understand what the infatuation is with this accident. I can load my family into a mini van, stop at a bar and then barrel down the highway.
As a flight instructor, statistically… the most safest pilots are those who just passed their checkride and got their pilots license. Why? Because all the training they got is fresh in their heads.
The ones to worry about are between the 5,000 - 10,000 hour mark because they tend to get complacent.
My biggest worry is driving to and from work. The highway will kill you much faster than a airplane or helicopter will.
You’ll never get rid of dipsh*ts in this world whether they drive, fly, or boat.
Somehow the people of this world will do two shots of tequila and drive home thinking nothing of it. They hear about a aviation accident on the news and lose their minds.
You can legally load your whole family into a single-engine plane and fly them over the ocean with about 40 hours of flying lessons. That's roughly one work week.
Once you have the license, the FAA asks you to go up with an instructor once every two years. Airline pilots need 1,500 hours just to get hired, and they're back in a simulator getting tested every single year.
You can see what that does in the crash data. Personal flights, meaning weekend trips and family vacations, had 21.1 fatal accidents per million flight hours between 2012 and 2021. Student pilots on training flights, mostly in the same kind of small planes, had 2.3. So the people still learning to fly crash about 9 times less often than the people who already passed.
Compared to your car, personal flying in a small plane comes out about 27 times deadlier per hour. Worse than a motorcycle.
When investigators go through the wreckage, about 69% of the time they pin the crash on the pilot. Mechanical problems caused 7% of the deadly ones in 2021. Even an engine quitting, which is what everybody pictures, killed people in 6 of 57 cases that year.
The biggest killer is flying into bad weather, and it comes down to your inner ear.
There's fluid in there that sloshes around when you turn, and that's how your brain knows you're tilting. Hold a gentle turn for about 15 seconds and the fluid settles down, so your brain decides you're flying straight again. When you can see the horizon you catch it right away. Inside a cloud there's nothing to look at, so the plane keeps tipping, the nose drops, the speed climbs, and your body keeps telling you everything's fine.
Back in 1954, the University of Illinois put 20 pilots with zero instrument training into simulated clouds. Every one of them lost control of the plane. It took 178 seconds on average, a little under three minutes.
Pilots still end up in clouds they were never trained for, and more than 75% of those crashes kill someone. No weather accident in small planes is deadlier.
Small-plane people have joked about this since the 1950s. The Beechcraft Bonanza was one of the fastest single-engine planes you could buy, and so many wealthy doctors bought one and crashed it that people started calling it the "doctor killer." When people finally ran the numbers, the Bonanza crashed about as often as any other small plane. It just had a lot of rich owners with more money than flight time.
Look at the back of that cabin. One teenager's asleep under a plaid blanket and the other one's buried in a book. The biggest safety feature on that flight is the judgment of whoever's sitting up front.

This is the first time in a long time that Israel has explicitly blamed Russia for anything happening in Ukraine. That’s a positive shift, but Ukraine needs more than just words (and the occasional electric generator). Give Ukraine air defense, already. They are being massacred.
Deeply saddened by the horrific news from Komyshuvakha, Ukraine, where 40 people were killed in a Russian attack. Among the civilian sites struck was a school serving as a humanitarian aid distribution centre. Many people are still missing.
We condemn this attack and extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed. We wish the wounded a swift and full recovery.

You didn't lose because of Iran.
You lost because y'all to busy with Anakin edits instead of actually governing.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Vance definitely is gonna go full podcast groyper for 2028. He’ll have Rogan, Tucker and Tim Dillon onboard. It’ll get ugly but it won’t work, guy has zero charisma.
Will Glass retweeted
Like the rest of the people he associates with (Tucker), Vance blames the Jews/Israel for his own failings
If you want to look for reasons for the poor results you should look in the mirror.
Cozying up to white nationalists and foreign funded conspiracy theorists like Tucker Carlson is NOT a good look for the vice president of the US.
Nor is legitimising enemy states like Qatar.
Go to bed with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Bodycam footage from Ukrainian police officers in Komyshuvakha.
After the first Russian airstrike, they went down into an underground shelter together with civilians. Then more Russian bombs struck the shelter. Their bodycams kept recording until the very end 😢
At least 37 (as of now!) people were killed that day.

More heating hacks.
JUST IN: French blood bank hit by cyber attack with blood samples being heated to 110 degrees Celsius from their maintained -30, per Le Canard Enchaîné.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 110 °C figure was the value hacked equipment was reprogrammed to reach, which does not mean the cold rooms or plasma bags actually reached 110 °C. France's health ministry said the anomalies were spotted in time, with no operational consequences. cyberattaque.org/cyberattaque-c…

So that’s WHY it crashed. Now the question is why it separated, and why they ended up in that situation.
The NTSB held its second and final on scene media briefing regarding N722BD this afternoon. The agency says it recovered the aircraft’s left elevator in three pieces between 1.3 and 3.8 miles from the crash site. flightradar24.com/blog/fligh…

L’épouse a ensuite fait venir une « ambulance privée ». Deux personnes habillées en soignants sont arrivées.
Or, selon les informations recueillies sur place, l’entreprise affichée avait cessé d’exister en 2023 et le véhicule avait été vendu cette année-là.

Not great, but it’s a military helicopter, not civilian, and while the fireworks could *potentially* do damage, I don’t think they’d bring it down. The crew probably thinks is an awesome story they now get to tell.
Still, this shouldn’t happen. Flyover level was appropriate for helicopters (not like the SA flyover), but the fireworks timing is too close.
STADIUM PYROTECHNICS NARROWLY MISS U.S. ARMY BLACK HAWK HELICOPTER DURING NFL GAME!
A pregame celebration at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, nearly turned into a serious aviation safety incident on November 2, 2026.
During the Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears Monday Night Football game, four U.S. Army UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters conducted a military flyover accompanying the American national anthem.
However, as the final helicopter was passing over the stadium, pyrotechnic effects discharged from the stadium's video-screen area.
🎥 WHAT HAPPENED?
Videos appear to show flames and pyrotechnic effects erupting from the stadium structure directly beneath or very close to the departing helicopter.
Some initial video angles created the impression that the pyrotechnics struck the aircraft.
However, additional footage reportedly showed that the effects narrowly missed the helicopter.
AIRCRAFT DETAILS
Aircraft type: Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk.
Number of helicopters: Four.
Military unit: 2-158th Assault Helicopter Battalion.
Formation: 16th Combat Aviation Brigade.
Mission: Ceremonial military flyover.
Location: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington.
AVIATION SAFETY CONCERNS
The incident raises important questions about coordination between stadium pyrotechnic operators and military flight crews.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Helicopters operating at low altitude during ceremonial flyovers have limited room to manoeuvre compared with aircraft at normal cruising altitudes.
An unexpected pyrotechnic discharge near a helicopter could potentially expose the aircraft to heat, debris, smoke or direct physical contact.
A strike involving the rotor system could have particularly serious consequences.
