Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.

EXCERPT:
A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted experiment on a retired aircraft carrier that sought to test a machine for creating clouds.
But behind the scenes, they were planning a much larger and potentially riskier study of salt-water-spraying equipment that could eventually be used to dim the sun’s rays — a multimillion-dollar project aimed at producing clouds over a stretch of ocean larger than Puerto Rico.
The details outlined in funding requests, emails, texts and other records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News raise new questions about a secretive billionaire-backed initiative that oversaw last year’s brief solar geoengineering experiment on the San Francisco Bay.

I saw this on the news this morning.
Glad they were stopped but how many more are out there trying to do the same thing?
EU BUYER'S REMORSE...
America First: Eurocrats Lament “Juggernaut Trump” Rolled Brussels in “Disaster” Trade Deal
In the hours following the Sunday announcement of the landmark trade deal agreed to by the United States and the European Union, a stinging reality began to sink in across the Old Continent: Brussels blinked, and the EU leadership had been utterly routed by President Donald Trump and his White House.

POMPEO...
Last breath of air before he goes down.
Many business deals are done on a golf course. I think high schools should teach lifetime sports like golf in PE classes.
Many business deals are done on a golf course.
Strip clubs too, especially with Asian and Arab clients.
I never trusted Pompoe. I put him in the category of the people who worked for Trump and thought they were smarter than Trump.

In New York State, Jews have the highest favorable opinion of President Trump. Jews support Trump more than any other religious group, more than Catholics and Protestants, upstate voters, and more than white voters in general.
Jews are the only identity group in the state with whom Trump isn’t underwater even at the same time as Sen. Schumer polls worse among Jews than among Catholics or Protestants.
(So when Trump taunts Schumer as a ‘Palestinian’, he knows what he’s doing.)
At 61%, Jews provide the highest rate of approval for Trump’s deportation of migrants compared to 42% among Protestants, 49% among Catholics and 48% among white voters.
Jews in New York have a total 57% approval rating for Trump in contrast to 38% among Protestants, 49% among Catholics and 47% among white voters, and the highest levels of support for Trump’s immigration, inflation, trade and conviction that Trump will make America great (51% Jews, 42% Catholics and 28% Protestants.)
Unsurprisingly, 64% of New York Jews support President Trump’s approach to Iran.
The Siena College poll numbers reflect an ongoing trend of Jewish support for Trump that defies the fake polls advanced by Democrat front groups (previously exposed by Freedom Center Investigates) which generate the 70% plus numbers often quoted by the media and the gullible to falsely claim nearly universal Jewish support for Obama, Biden and Kamala.
While some people would claim that these numbers are inadequate (and would complain that any numbers short of 101% are not good enough), they are all the more remarkable for coming out of one of the more liberal states in the country and even more so when you consider that much of New York’s Jewish population lives in New York City which leans so far leftward that it’s on the verge of electing a Muslim Communist and regularly generates anti-Trump protest mobs.
.....“Jews earn like Episcopalians, and vote like Puerto Ricans” was an old political jab. But if the rest of New York voted the way its Jewish population does, Trump would have won the state.
And it doesn’t end with Trump.
Support for President Trump doesn’t necessarily translate into support for Republicans at the local level, but that’s something that New York’s moribund GOP can choose to tackle.
While the next gubernatorial election is still in the wind and most of the candidates are unknown, a majority of New York’s Jewish voters would back Republican Mike Lawler over Gov. Kathy Hochul, the current unpopular Democrat in office, and back some conservative policies.
.....Contrary to popular belief, the Jewish vote is winnable. President Trump is proving it.
Trump’s secret was competing for voters, black, Jewish or Latino, whom most GOPers had written off, and especially targeting working class and minority male voters.
While the perception of New York Jews is somewhere between Jerry Seinfeld and a Park Avenue cardiologist, much of the population is actually religious, traditional and working class, is far more likely to live in Brooklyn than Manhattan and among Orthodox Jews is concerned about many of the same issues as conservative Christians are, not only Israel, but religious values, immigration control and national greatness.
New York’s demographics make it unlikely that a Republican presidential candidate will win New York outright, but courting the Jewish population and other ‘winnable’ groups can boost the size of the state’s Republican congressional delegation and make a difference at the state level.
Even while people mindlessly repeat the same lies about 70% of Jews supporting Democrats, New York Republicans got their best numbers in a gubernatorial race since the ’90s with a Jewish candidate. And President Trump is getting his best numbers in the state from its Jewish population even while Sen. Schumer is underwater among his own community.
New York Jews are no longer earning like Episcopalians and voting like Puerto Ricans. They’re moving to the right while the Episcopalians are moving leftward.......
It’s gotten so bad that the only one they could find to head Jews for Zohran was the niece of a Sri Lankan Marxist operating out of China. It would have been impossible to imagine a generation ago, but today, New York’s Jews stand with Trump.

I remember that Pompeo went behind Trump’s back several times but can’t remember just what he did off the top of my head.
Maybe someone else can.
I was surprised to see Pompeo speaking at the RNC.
Was that a bone thrown to the RINOS?
Was so happy when Pompeo thought he was going to get a plum position in the Trump Admin and Trump kicked him to the curb and took away his Security Clearence and his SS security.
Get your own security, Pompeo.
I think Pompeo was positioning himself to run for president when (he hoped?) Trump was ousted during the 2024 campaign.
At this point, I hope Adams is reelected.
He doesn’t strike me as a full-blown lunatic.
Cuomo is UNACCEPTABLE for putting Covid patients in Nursing Homes.
And, I don’t think Sliwa is that viable.
Thanks for that. :-)
Pompeo just another turncoat😡
“Pompeo has been all over FAUX lately,”
The same Pompeo who was going to be VP to Nikki Haley if Butler had been successful.
Snakes.
