An official press release yesterday confirmed a $140 million investment to power AI data centers at sea. The funding goes to Pathanlassa — a renewable energy and ocean technology company — and was raised in a Series B financing led by avid investor and former PayPal CEO and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, alongside several other investors. The Portland-based start-up said it would use the funding to complete its pilot manufacturing facility in Oregon for its Ocean-3 series nodes — an autonomous platform that will house and power data centers for AI inference computing at sea, using electricity generated from ocean...

Oh my goodness this is hilarious! Also, we just got yet ANOTHER “Tippy-Top” Q confirmation. More on that in a moment. First, watch this hilarious clip of President Trump explaining how all the past Presidents let the White House fall into disrepair, saying it was so bad it had become the SHIT HOUSE instead of the WHITE HOUSE, except that Melania tells him not to use that language so he won’t say SHIT HOUSE. HILARIOUS! Watch here: Post See new posts Conversation Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh 🚨 NOW: President Trump RIPS past presidents for letting the White House become a dilapidated...

What is it with Minnesota? Something in the air? Something in the water of those 10,000 lakes? Or is it the (let's say this softly) Third World people from low-trust cultures that they have been so freely importing? Whatever it is, Minnesota seems to be Fraud Central Station, and now we see another Minneapolis resident has been busted and is facing charges. This one is alleged to have engaged in a million-dollar Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) fraud rip-off. Authorities in Minnesota have filed criminal charges against a man accused of a food stamp fraud scheme that defrauded taxpayers out of...

Fentanyl — along with trade and the Iran war — is one of the key items on Trump’s agenda during his long-anticipated two-day summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping... Since his first term, Trump has prioritized pushing China to take serious action to curb the flow of precursor chemicals from China to Mexican cartels that process them into fentanyl... U.S. drug overdose deaths have declined sharply since their peak three years ago. Still, nearly 40,000 people died from synthetic opioids, which include fentanyl, in 2025, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention... “President Trump has made it clear...

AbstractDietary interventions are the first-line treatment for overweight individuals (OW) and individuals with obesity (OB) who have high-normal blood pressure (BP) or grade I hypertension, particularly when they are at low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk (CVR). However, current guidelines do not specify the most effective dietary approach for optimising cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in this population.This study aimed to compare the effects of a low-calorie, high-protein ketogenic diet (KD) versus a low-calorie, low-sodium, and high-potassium Mediterranean diet (MD) on BP profiles assessed via ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). It also evaluated changes in anthropometric measures, metabolic biomarkers, and body composition measured by bioelectrical...

The FBI is conducting interviews with current and former CIA officers as part of an investigation into ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s role in an intelligence assessment that found Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation. FBI agents began questioning employees last week at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the person said. The interviews appeared to focus solely on Brennan and his statements to Congress, and the decision to include an unverified dossier about President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia in a 2017 intelligence assessment about Moscow’s election meddling,...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - All members of the House Democratic Caucus have been removed from their committees and subcommittees, according to a letter obtained by WSMV. The letter, signed by House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) and addressed to Leader Camper, states that “members of the Democratic Caucus will receive individual letters removing them from all standing committees and subcommittees of the House, except where membership is required.” Sexton’s letter states that the committee removals are “due to actions taken” by the members during last week’s special session over redistricting across Tennessee. Those actions, Sexton said, “aimed at disrupting the democratic...

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has refused to go quietly, as some within the UK’s Labour government had clearly hoped, and has defied the rebels to openly challenge him. After months of talk about Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer being set up to take the fall for the May local elections, now that the moment has arrived, it appears possible his greatest strength is a simple-minded disinclination to pay attention to his critics whatsoever. At Monday’s ‘reset’ speech — only the latest of his leadership so far, the cloyingly earnest tones now a familiar part of the rhythm of British...

The process of relocating people from New Orleans should start immediately, as the city has reached a “point of no return” that will see it surrounded by the ocean within decades due to the climate crisis, a stark new study has concluded. Ongoing sea-level rise and the erosion of wetlands in southern Louisiana will swallow up the New Orleans area within a few generations, with the new paper estimating the city “may well be surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico before the end of this century”. Low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, with rising sea levels driven by global heating,...

There are more than 1 million sexually explicit books in K-12 public schools across the country. These books aren’t just “sexually explicit,” they are boldly pornographic – lewd, obscene, salacious. And children not only have access to them, they are encouraged to read these books. Anyone – parents, teachers or school board members – who challenge sexually explicit curriculum and library book-selections, find themselves the recipients of rabid political hatred.

The Denver airport trespasser who was dismembered by a jet engine after he calmly stepped in front of a Frontier flight had a dark criminal past, The Post can reveal. Michael Mott, 41, racked up over 20 arrests in Colorado dating back to 2002 — including for attempted murder. snip Starting when he was just 17, Mott was repeatedly arrested for minor infractions like shoplifting and underage alcohol consumption – but within just a couple of years, he had devolved into a hardened, violent criminal, his public rap sheet shows. By February 2005, he was arrested by officers from the...

Things are popping off in the Netherlands. MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK............ The building used to be the town hall of Loosdrecht. Locals have spent weeks telling the government that they do not want it to be converted into a housing center for more illegal aliens. More from Dutch News on May 8: Loosdrecht, a waterfront village of some 8,600 near Hilversum, has been the centre of several violent anti-refugee demonstrations in recent days. One person, not local, has been jailed for their role in vandalising the building and police say they expect to make more arrests. During the May 12...

This year’s commencement speaker at the University of Central Florida’s College of Arts and Humanities and the Nicholson School of Communication was visibly floored after she extolled AI as the future of industry — to the ire of the school’s graduating students, who ferociously booed and jeered. The speaker was Florida-based businesswoman Gloria Caulfield, the Vice President of Strategic Alliances for Tavistock Development Company, a real estate firm. In her speech, she triumphantly announced that “… “The rise of artificial intelligence is the next Industrial Revolution.” The job-seeking graduates, however, weren’t exactly thrilled with Caulfield’s AI optimism. They launched into...

The Republican-led South Carolina state Senate rejected a measure Tuesday to take up a redraw of the state’s congressional map despite pressure from President Donald Trump.A resolution that would have extended the state’s legislative session, set to end this week, to tackle redistricting fell short of the two-thirds support needed, with five Republicans voting against it.The vote shuts the door, at least for now, on Republican plans to carve up the state’s lone majority-Black district, represented by longtime Democratic Rep. James Clyburn, before the midterm elections. South Carolina’s primaries are set for June 9.

5 US bases selected for anti-drone pilot program 5 US bases selected for anti-drone pilot program The U.S. task force responsible for countering small, unmanned aircraft chose five military installations to partake in an upcoming anti-drone pilot program. The U.S. Army-led Joint Interagency Task Force 401, which was stood up in August 2025 and included in the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, selected two southern border installations to join and assist the program in advanced directed energy capabilities, according to a May 6 Department of Defense release.

If a man is black, he can be a literal career criminal, high on fentanyl, whose heart and lungs gave out in a struggle with the Minneapolis police, and he'll get monuments erected around the nation. Senators will kneel for him. Celebrities will idolize him. The blackness of his skin will be the center of the story. But if you're a white girl who escaped Ukraine only to get murdered by a black guy who mocked your white skin while slashing your throat? Well, you better not notice any racism there, and if you do, you better not put up...
