What an unusual stance for a statue, hands in the pockets - looks like this woman is postured to say “Who says so or Oh Yeah, Make me!”
Ugly “art” another good reason to avoid Blew Cities.

India safely launches a $1.5 billion satellite for NASA

Excerpt:
The mission, a $1.5 billion synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, a joint project between NASA and the Indian space agency ISRO, successfully launched into orbit on Wednesday aboard India’s GSLV or Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, a medium-lift rocket.
The mission, named NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), was subsequently deployed into its intended orbit 464 miles (747 km) above the Earth’s surface. From this Sun-synchronous orbit, it will collect data about the planet’s land and ice surfaces two times every 12 days, including the infrequently visited polar regions in the Southern Hemisphere.
The description of the SAR is that it’s dual band, S-band and L-band. Those frequency bands are adjacent to each other and not at all completely dedicated to SAR use. L-band is broadly defined as 1 to 2 GHz (1000 to 2000 MHz) while S-band is equally broadly defined as 2 to 4 GHz (2000 to 4000 MHz). For example, L-band contains satellite downlinks, aviation services such as TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System), transponder, ADS-B and GPS, while S-band includes the 2.4 GHz WiFi we’re so dependent on, Bluetooth, microwave ovens, and many consumer radio controlled devices.
.....The satellite combines two main instruments that, unlike optical telescopes, can gather data through clouds and at night. NASA provided the L-band synthetic aperture radar, which is efficient at measuring soil moisture, forests, and the movement of land and ice on the surface of the planet. India contributed an S-band radar that is useful for measuring agricultural changes, as well as grasslands and human-built structures.
NASA and other spaceflight organizations have been developing and flying synthetic aperture radar for decades, but the NISAR spacecraft is one of the first missions to combine two different bands onto a single vehicle. This should provide a more comprehensive view of how the planet’s surface is changing on a real-time basis.
.....As is usually the case, the satellite will spend a while getting calibrated and more thoroughly tested, once it’s in the preferred orbit. That process of getting readied for its mission is expected to take three months.
During this time NISAR will deploy a very large antenna reflector that is 39 feet (12 meters) in diameter. This reflector will send and receive microwaves from the two radars and use differences to measure the surface below.
.....The US and Indian space agencies signed the partnership agreement on September 30, 2014, to design and build the spacecraft. At the time, launch was targeted for 2024, so missing that deadline by less than a year is quite respectable.

Kash Finds Trove of Sensitive Documents at FBI
Clandestine
Jul 30, 2025
FBI Director Patel reportedly found a “trove” of sensitive documents in a secret room at the Bureau.
One of these documents being the classified annex to the Durham report, which Trump and his team are expected to release to the public soon.
Obama’s cabal built in blockades and hid information, both digitally and physically, in an attempt to prevent Trump loyalists from finding information proving Deep State criminality.
So for those of you complaining about the pace of this operation, please try to understand that Bondi/Patel/Bongino, and the rest of Trump’s appointees, are operating in a hostile environment. There is much more going on behind the scenes that we do not see.
It’s not as easy as going into a file drawer at the FBI and pulling out the goods. Obama and his cronies went great lengths to cover everything up, including raiding Mar-a-Lago, in an attempt to steal the Documents Trump already had in his possession.
The enemy is trying to cover their tracks, but they are failing.
Good night, everyone! Sleep well.
President Trump says they can predict what your health conditions will be six years from now:

WELL DONE!
