...
"
Musk has revealed Starlink V4’s extreme specs for the first time: performance is set to jump a hundredfold, light is naturally 1.4 times faster, and there’s no need to detour around continental shelves. Tens of millions of laser links are moving the backbone of Earth’s communications into deep space.
Most people still think Starlink is just a niche tool that patches network coverage for remote mountain areas, yachts, and planes.
...
There’s a deeply counterintuitive bit of basic physics behind this: light travels a full 40% faster through the vacuum of space than through glass fiber.
Even more decisive is the difference in geometry. Undersea cables have to wind their way around continental shelves and ocean trenches, taking the long way around, while satellite laser links in space always cut straight through the vacuum along a great-circle route between two points. This means that for ultra-long-distance transoceanic communications, space-based lasers naturally have lower latency than terrestrial fiber-optic cables.
The only bottleneck holding this back until now has been bandwidth density.
This time, Musk has put a number on the endgame of this technological evolution: from V2 to the V4 satellites about to come online, a single satellite’s throughput will undergo a brutal 100-fold leap. In the grander, longer-term vision, an orbital array of more than 100,000 satellites will each carry around 100 optical lasers transmitting at over 10 Tbps, weaving a seamless, high-speed mesh routing network with a capacity of hundreds of exabits around Earth.
This is no longer about providing satellite broadband. This is about using rockets to completely rewrite the global internet’s core backbone.
Undersea cables can be snapped by earthquakes and damaged by ship anchors, and they are also caught up in physical blockades driven by geopolitical maneuvering; a vacuum-based laser network suspended overhead has neither refractive losses nor insurmountable geographical boundaries.
It took humanity over a century to sink copper wires and fiber-optic cables into the ocean, one by one, to connect with one another; the arteries of future civilization are destined to flow at the speed of light through the resistance-free starry sky."
Global communications without landlines. Soon to be available on your phone.
The Lefty leadership has finally outlined their solution(s) to the affordability crisis. First, eliminate ICE, then subpoena the top Trump administration, re-open the borders, jail Elon Musk, and impeach Trump.
So why did Republicans lose across the board? Not one single reason. One of the reasons, a big one, is that Republicans in Congress refused to pass laws that are popular with the electorate. Hard to get out the vote, again, when you backstabbed your voters- again.
A stated reason is harsh enforcement of immigration laws- which is BS for many reasons. First- it's normal enforcement- being OPPOSED by governors refusing to cooperate with FEDERAL laws that say- hand over prisoners from your jails to ICE at the end of their sentence. You know, like in a controlled situation instead of having to after them on the streets. They weren't in jail because they're GOOD people or poor innocent victims who fell afoul of the law. So ICE (or CBP or federal marshals) have to go after them on the streets- which often turns ugly. My CBP son has been shot at more then a half dozen times in the last year- hit in the body armor twice. Offed the bad guy more then once. Total nationwide news coverage on him and his team- nothing, zero, nada. A one paragraph blurb in local papers where it happened, with no follow-up. Seems illegal immigrants shooting at law enforcement and found with kilos of illegal substances don't make sympathetic characters for the media. Instead we get Maryland man- and national media never follows up on the fact that-A. He's not from Maryland, he's from El Salvador- or wherever, he's a gang member, and a known criminal where he's from, and he's been involved in domestic violence- and other things in the USA.
The newest poor illegal immigrant in custody is (was?) a state trooper. A non-citizen of the US here illegally in the USA enforcing US laws. Is there anyone here who doesn't see a problem with that? Don't know what he did to come to the attention of ICE- and don't care. Anyone involved in hiring him should be dragged out in public by a mob and be tarred and feathered.
And then there's Pretti and Good- poor innocent protester KILLED BY ICE! They are no more innocent protesters than Kyle Rittenhouse is a cold blooded murderer who gunned down 3 Black protesters. (yes, there are people who believe that.) Law enforcement- and you and I- are not required to play dodge car if we have the means to disable or kill the driver aiming for us. Just as the jury found Kyle didn't have to sit there and let a criminal bash his head in with a skateboard.
But the news coverage on ICE is- and has been throughout the Trump years- 100% negative.
And then there's the unpopularity of the Iran War. I live in a bubble on that- no one I know and no one in my family - or my wife's - is against it. We all understand why it's being waged, and pleased it's being waged without boots on the ground. If we have to spend decades there turning Iran into a stone age country- so what? It's easy for the Persians to stop the bombing- overthrow the mad mullahs and establish a secular government. Dictatorship, democracy, whatever, anything but a theocracy run by religious fanatics. Alex Berenson got it very wrong today- saying the mullahs are fully aware of MAD Doctrine, so even they wouldn't use The Bomb even if they didn't develop. It would be the end of the world! Real basic misunderstanding. That's the whole idea. The end of the world will lead to the emergence of The Twelfth Iman. That's their end goal. Some people- like Berenson- have trouble understanding irrational actors. So if you believe that stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons isn't worth it- Why? Explain why they wouldn't drop them the moment they had them in quantity.
The key is that the Starlink satellite constellation is in low earth orbit. Previously the communications satellites were (relatively) few in number and in geosynchronous orbit. This orbital distance is so far out in space that even at the speed of light the round trip up to the communications satellite and back down to earth takes almost a quarter of a second.
CNN: "His daughter was abducted during a sleepover and killed. He is among families grappling with Newsom’s death row commutation"
"On a summer day in 1996, Marc Klaas sat in a San Jose courtroom and clutched the hands of his family as a clerk read aloud the guilty verdict that would eventually place his 12-year-old daughter Polly’s killer on death row. When the man who had fatally strangled Polly Klaas after kidnapping her from a sleepover, Richard Allen Davis, learned of his fate, he turned to the courtroom with his shirt hanging out of his belt, and made an obscene gesture to the room."
"When Davis was sentenced to death, Klaas thought to himself, “This is what he deserves.”"
"He felt the judge and jury had seen the man he knew Davis to be, had recognized the pain he had inflicted on Klaas’ family, and punished him accordingly."
"So when he heard three decades later that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would be commuting Davis’ death sentence – along with hundreds of others – the announcement felt like “a shiv in my back,” Klaas said."
The Republican problem wasn't necessarily that voters rejected the party's principles. It was that Republicans increasingly confused loyalty to Trump with a mandate to govern without limits. And the election results suggest that distinction finally caught up with them.
"A stated reason is harsh enforcement of immigration laws- which is BS for many reasons."
The left opposes enforcing existing laws they don't like and are in favor of making up shit when the laws they want don't exist.
Newsom is a deranged turd. One of those who had their death sentence commuted - last name Avila - abducted a 6 year old girl, took her up to Ortega Canyon off the Ortega Highway in SoCal and, per ex-prosecutor Matt Murphy, “fucked her to death and left her face up on the ground”.
Another convict tied a young woman to an anchor and dropped her into the Pacific Ocean. He has other stories.
Murphy said the death penalty was only given to 4% of those who were subject to it in Orange County and 2% in LA County. The absolute worst of the Pieces of Shit.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfcxwKBoGoW/?cplk=Mzc3ZTVlOWMwZA==
Newsom is now of the reasons that the Democrats are held in such low regard that the only way they can win elections is for their opponents to do astronomically stupid stuff. Can't could on that every election.
" If we have to spend decades there turning Iran into a stone age country- so what?"
You know what you get when you bomb a country back to the stone age? Savages. And then they end up in your country as refugees, and they are mad as hell about what you did to their parents and their grandparents.
BTW, our national debt is 40 trillion, 8 trillion of that has been spent turning Muslim countries into lawless territories run by warlords, like Syria and Libya and Somalia.
I'm about to say good night. But as I'm typing, I'm thinking about Bob Dylan. Y'know the Nobel prize winner. Unlike that hack Russian - Leo Tostoy. Boy, what a loser that guy was.
Anyway, isn't it wonderful that Althouse found a singer that given her joy for 60 years? That's really something.
So, Goodnight and God bless.
And yes our National debt is huge. And our elite don't care. Because....inflation. Think about it.

People keep saying this and it keeps not being true.
You people keep saying it was about nukes in Iran and Israel. That is tangential to the real reason.
We should give two shits about Israel. We should only care about them as far as they are useful to us and there are common interests. They have not been particularly helpful allies and they are harboring a lot of traitors and criminals.
The only good thing is this ignorance is unimportant.
@Jaq, you are on to something there. The obvious way to address the problem of refugees who are “mad as hell about what you did to their parents and their grandparents” is to leave no Iranian man, woman, or child alive. Totally depopulate the country. Thanks for the advice.

Our national debt is huge because Boomers have looted the treasury and fucked multiple generations. The "War on Poverty" and Social Security looting have cost more than the misadventures of the deep state abroad.
It is true that under bush/clinton/bush/obama our military has been a tool of the WEF.
But Trump is ending all of that with a relatively bloodless and extremely low cost investment blockading the strait of hormuz.
The investment in US industrial capacity since the blockade started has already more than paid off the Iran "war."
Jaq isn't aware that Iran has already gone back to the Stone Age under the Mullahs who seized power in 1979, have killed a thousand times more Iranians than the Shah ever did, whip women who allow their hair to be seen or are caught dancing, hang gays slowly from cranes, and rape young women before executing them because they believe that will keep them out of Paradise. You have to be astonishingly ignorant or just plain insane not to know that the late Shah, for all his faults, was a thousand times better for Iran and the world than the Mullahs in every way.
He also doesn't know that Iran will return to the modern world as soon as the Mullahs and their IRGC thugs are gone. Half the mosques in Iran have closed because no one except illiterate grandmothers goes to them anymore. Everyone else is atheist, agnostic, or Zoroastrian, and openly say that Islam is not their religion, it's an Arab religion that was imposed on them by force. As soon as the Mullahs and IRGC generals are either dead or living down the hall from Assad and Yanukovych in Moscow, Iran will be free, and well on its way to prosperity. The only negative feelings non-regime Iranians have for the US is impatience and disappointment that we haven't finished the job, or sent them the weapons to do it themselves.
Steve Miller must terrify Dumbocrats. I see that Hakeem Jeffries has called for him to be “eradicated like a malignant tumor.” Tbem thar Dumbocrats really loooove them some violence, do they not?
"Our national debt is huge because Boomers have looted the treasury and fucked multiple generations. The "War on Poverty" and Social Security looting have cost more than the misadventures of the deep state abroad."
Social Security existed before the first boomer was born and the War on Poverty was created before boomers were old enough to cast a vote, you know.
How about holding the people who created those programs responsible for the problems they caused?
Anyone watching season 2 of MobLand knows who Johnny Flynn is. He plays the bad guy, Frankie Cooper, and plays him quite well.
I’ve discovered he’s a talented singer/guitarist… quite a gift:

What a malevolent dickhead this Abdul El-Sayed is. Part of the dirty tricks Democrats have played on America:
“Michigan is the capital of Arab America.”
I don’t see anything worthy of praise in this corksoaker’s future endeavors.
I think/hope/pray the Socialists are going to be really sorry that El-Sayed is on their team, yapping pro Islamic terrorist shit for the next six years.
Here is what AI says about the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood (officially the Society of the Muslim Brothers) is the world's oldest and most influential contemporary Sunni Islamist movement.
Founding and Ideology
• Founded: Established in Ismailia, Egypt, in March 1928 by Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna.
• Core Belief: Views Islam as a comprehensive, all-embracing system that governs private life, public policy, and the state, advocating for the gradual Islamization of society under Sharia law and a Caliphate.
• Evolution: While historically engaging in or facing splits over political violence, the movement largely pursued grassroots social services and electoral participation—most notably winning power in Egypt during the 2011 Arab Spring before being ousted and heavily cracked down upon in 2013.
In January 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of State designated several regional chapters—including the Egyptian and Jordanian branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, and the Lebanese branch (al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The group is similarly banned or designated as a terrorist organization by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Russia, Syria, and Bahrain.
(Imagine tossing all the Jews out of the Democrat party so you can bring in that all-important Muslim Brotherhood vote. You won the battle and now you'll lose the war, Commies).
I'm going to start refusing to call the Democrats by their party's name. I'm just jumping ahead of the curve and call them Socialists now. Let them bitch about it if they want to! "We're not Socialists, quit calling us that," says Socialist leader AOC.
At this point, calling Democrats "Democrat" is like you have taken a blood oath to never tell the truth again.
When I was in film school, the professors would say that you have to know who your audience is, before you write for them. That advice always confused the shit out of me. How the hell do I know who my audience is? Am I supposed to spy on the theater and see who buys the tickets? Could be anybody!
True story. I was having lunch with a lawyer in my church, trying to drum up interest in an independent movie called Christians, I wanted to shoot at my church. And the lawyer asked me who my audience was going to be. And I thought about it for the first time. And I said, "People who are having reproductive sex." And he almost spit up his dinner. And I did not understand why I had said something funny.
Sometimes they say "know your audience." It's kind of an insane idea. Althouse, do you know your audience?
Althouse: "Just the ones who talk too much."
@gospace,
All those words and not one mention of the negative impact that Trump’s retarded tariffs had on the election. That is like having a discussion on the causes of Lung Cancer and neglecting to mention tobacco.
Our national debt is huge because the voters do not care about it.
Of course, when Hollywood talks about "audience," what they are talking about is identity politics. White males, for instance. Or, black women 30-45. Or teenage boys. The idea is that you sub-divide America (or the world, I guess, but first they aim in America) into groups or buckets of people. You divide by amorphous categories iike "race" or "gender." How many races are there? How many genders? They also do age. For all I know, they do height and weight as well. "We made this movie for the fatties."
I resent this sort of sophisticated organizational structure, because we're all human beings, and every person is unique. God knows us. These fucking bean counters have no idea. And I think it makes their art worse. It's an act of dishonesty, really, to tailor your speech to your audience. "I only talk this way in front of black people." Hillary Clinton might be the ultimate example of this campaign tactic. Different speeches for different people.
William Goldman, the screenwriter (All the President's Men, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Princess Bride), once wrote a book on his craft called Which Lie Did I Tell?
the inspiration for the title came when Goldman was in the office of a Hollywood producer who was talking on the phone to one of his associates. Suddenly he cupped his hands over the receiver, snapped his fingers and said "Bill, Bill! Which lie did I tell?"
It's really funny reading you people's responses to the recent election. Your just as delusional as the DSA squad members who think this was a victory for their radical woke communistic proposals programs policies. See Gavin newsom's recent freeing of the vicious murderers from death row.
The Republicans got wiped out in their own red States because Donald Trump decided to abandoned MAGA completely utterly and became a neocon warmonger profiteer.
First Doge failed then ice went crazy murdering American citizens and arresting illegal immigrants that were well integrated into society and were productive family members whose only crime was to want to become American. The supreme Court handed Trump a big defeat on his executive orders for tariffs then the Epstein files imploded then he got Hoodwinked by BB Netanyahu to invade Iran on Israel's behalf. Actually really not Israel but on Netanyahu's personal political life. The price of oil then got out of control and Iran showed tremendous fortitude and fighting off the low testosterone strategies and tactics deployed by Pete Hegseth
As they say pride cometh before the fall.
The good news is that the American people seem to have embraced the common sense aspects of MAGA minus the cruelty overreaching and graft.
JD Vance recognizes this and knows that running on The common sense aspects of MAGA in 2028 will be his key to victory.
Sexy black girl held the door open for me today at my apartment complex. Her name's Jasmine, like the girl in the Aladdin movie.
"Do you live in this building?" I asked.
"No, I'm visiting my sister."
I've never dated a black girl before. I'm going in!
First I got to run into her accidentally. That could take a few months.
In my youth, all I had to do was get drunk. Now I have to work it.
Shhhh.
I got to be quiet. It's 2:39 AM in the Carmichael abode. I'm in a sweet apartment complex in Charlotte. Really nice. I've lived in two shitty apartment complexes in a row. The last one, I got so mad I broke my lease and moved out in the middle of it. That was a psycho landlady. Remind me some day and I'll tell that story.
I make a lot of noise by nature. I'm a noisy guy. My orgasms are loud. My music is loud. My TV is loud. I'm boisterous and loud. And my voice carries. My nickname during my F3 workouts is Soundtrack.
I live with people who don't give each other nicknames. They are quiet as mice. I've been here in my new sweet apartment six months. Apparently, I've been a noise monster.
I can't hear anybody else through the walls. I'm like, "the walls must be sound-proof. This is amazing." Everybody else is so quiet. I assume nobody can hear me.
I am up at all hours of the night. Random hours. Crazy hours. Multiple times management has sent notices to everybody to keep the music down. I've seen maybe four of those e-mails in six months.
I don't play music in my apartment. My entire CD collection, plus my stereo and speakers, got trashed in one of my moves. So I just assumed management was having some issues with people in one of the other buildings.
Today, I got a tiny, tiny, note left on my doorstep. My immediate reaction is, "My Millennial hottie has come to her senses and she is reaching out!" No. This is the note I got.
Hey Neighbor,
I wanted to kindly ask if you could be a little more mindful of the noise coming from your apartment especially late at night and early mornings. The stomping, slamming drawers, and general noise has been disruptive and made it difficult to sleep. I understand that some noise is unavoidable when living in an apartment, but I would really appreciate it if you could be more considerate of noise levels during late hours. Thanks for understanding! (Smiley face)
If I got that note in my own BC (Before Christ) era, I would have ignored it. Maybe laughed a little at all the church mice around me. Now I"m like, "ah, shit, man. Why didn't somebody say something?"
Well, St. Croix, I see you’re back to arrogant and broad-brushing. I guess you’re OK again.
What Gospace said...@8:29 pm....
"It is ironic that the Left spent ten long years caterwauling about Trump being Hitler and MAGA being his Nazi army, while casting themselves as the “resistance,” only to now find themselves the side dealing with boycotts of Jewish businesses and Islam taking increasing control of the Democratic Party."

rcommal,
I truly wish I could be without sin. But it is impossible my friend.
Generally when a contractor delivers a substandard product or poor service, you fire them and/or refuse to pay the agreed upon price. We should employ that policy when it comes to our school systems. Teachers in schools where outcomes are abominable should get less money, not more. Warn them first, if outcomes don’t improve, the salary bucket will be cut. No more excuses.
California's High Speed Rail is always referred to as overdue and over budget. In reality it has performed as designed.
The most common sin at my church is holier-than-thou. I'd argue that was also the most common sin of the original 12 disciples.
If you’re STILL bitching about tariffs THIS FAR into the largest manufacturing/reshoring boom since WW2 then you really understand nothing about the American economy.
Depression was the prediction. Huge 4.3% GDP growth is the actual result dumbass. You still haven’t figured out the tariffs cleverly shifted the VAT that used to be levied on us onto the countries that export to us.

"Stephen Miller will never testify before Congress — at least not in the 120th Congress that starts in January, and probably not even in the 121st, after President AOC or President Ossoff or President Kelly takes over.
That won’t prevent Democrats from investigating his crimes. It will dictate how that investigation happens." ~Marcy Wheeler

consider the possibility that the Holy Spirit gets into a person, and they do or say something amazing
and then the Holy Spirit leaves that person, and they are back to their old sinner self
My mother never prays. This is her attitude. Prayer is ridiculous.
She was brought up Baptist, and she is a super holy person, in my opinion. Always filled with joy, happiness, love. She brings all that with her. She laughs at (almost) all my jokes. Not fake laughter, real laughter. Unless it's a vulgar joke. "I don't want to hear that." So I kept my vulgar material away from Mom.
When I was a freshman at the University of Georgia, my parents would call to see how I was doing.
Mom: "How are you doing?"
Me: "Fine."
Mom: "What did you do last night?"
Me: "We got so drunk. I think I'm up to 12 beers. Maybe 10 beers. I'm having a blast! This is a real party school."
Mom makes a noise, hands phone to Dad, walks away.
Dad: "Taylor, don't tell you Mom about your drinking."
"What? Why not?"
Dad: "She doesn't want to know about that stuff."
"But she asked the question, Dad. I answered the question she asked."
My father was not particularly holy like my mother. He would nag us over and over and try to improve us. I was still sucking my thumb in first grade. Maybe second grade! My father got so desperate. And he finally hit on the plan of bribing me. "Taylor, I will pay you $1 a day for every day you don't suck your thumb."
That was a lot of money back then. And I broke my habit.
Speaking of habits, my father prayed every day. I have the feeling that he didn't think about the prayers, or even understand the prayers. He was mostly a worldly guy. But he put in a prayer request every day, for God to look after our family.
And so my family had a very blessed life, for a very long time.

…that repatriation is diverse, too. Example: Rolex is recruiting more Americans to train and work at their facilities in the US. We were once the primary producer of high quality timepieces and we’re now clawing some of that back..
Right now, in 2026, Christianity is a religion of love. And Islam is a religion of fear. Followers of Jesus Christ believe all the laws and commandments for humanity can be summed up in two Commandments.
Love God.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
I'm not an expert on Islam. Never read the Koran. My ignorance on Islam is huge.
These are the two biggest religions in the world. The AI says there are 2.3 billion to 2.6 billion Christians in the world right now. And there are 2 billion Muslims in the world. People who think Muslims are a "minority" are being ridiculous. And provincial. They are a majority in countries around the world, and they dominate the United Nations, and they are on the way to dominating Europe. I am speaking the truth as I perceive it.
I cannot speak about how peaceful Islam was in 1034, or 1602, or 1943. One could certainly argue that the Christian world was engaged in a lot of violence in 1943. While the Islam world pretty much skipped it.
Anyway, in the 21st century, my observation of Islam is that many people in that religion seek to rule by fear. For instance, they might threaten to kill anybody who leaves the religion. Or actually kill them. Death penalty for apostasy. Death penalty for saying the wrong thing (blasphemy).
Many centuries ago, Christians would do similar harsh punishments. The followers of Christ often screw up.
I am not talking about other centuries. I am talking about right now, the world we are in. I am talking about nuclear weapons and how dangerous it is for radical Islam to get a hold of one. People who are glib on this are dangerous. A lot of innocent people might die if you don't recognize the truth and speak it out loud.
