Woke Activists Figure Out New Way To Make Sure Blacks Won't Succeed

The Daily Mail reports: "Woke activists push for 'Black English' to be taught in Democrat state's preschools to combat 'harmful language hierarchies'." The article relates:

    Supporters say teaching the dialect, also known as African American English (AAE) or African American Vernacular English (AAVE), will help 'combat harmful language hierarchies.'

    The Black Californians United for Early Care & Education group is part of a movement advocating for Black English to be recognized as a legitimate, rule-based language in preschool classrooms on par with other languages.
 

I'm reminded of that famous scene from Airplane where the crew is trying to find someone that can speak Jive (starts at the 55 second mark).

I'm sure that the reason for this push for African American English is to force the replacement of white teachers with black teachers without expressly wording it that way. But the consequences could be devastating for black children who will be at a disadvantage in speaking and communication in the larger world. You might cast your mind back to George Bernard Shaw's play, Pygmalion, or its musical adaptation, My Fair Lady, in which the Eliza Doolittle character seeks the help of Henry Higgins, a linguist and phonetician, to teach her to speak better in order to open more opportunities and advance her socioeconomic status--without which she would have been doomed to a life selling flowers (and who knows what else) on street corners. 

SpaceX Just Launched A Satellite Testing A Betavoltaic Power System

From Space.com: "SpaceX just launched the 1st-ever nuclear-powered commercial satellite." Per the article, the BOHR (Betavoltaic Orbital High-Reliability) satellite, built by Florida-based company City Labs, was launched on July 7, 2026. 

BOHR is a novel cubesat demonstration mission from City Labs, which is testing out its proprietary "NanoTritium" betavoltaic micropower source in space for the first time. Similar to how spacecraft like NASA's Voyager probes' radioisotope thermoelectric generators produce power from the heat emitted from their plutonium cores, City Lab's NanoTritium device harnesses the beta particles emitted from the radioactive decay of tritium, which can be converted directly to electricity using a semiconductor. 

A beta particle is a high-speed electron or positron emitted during the radioactive decay of an unstable atomic nucleus. Most of you are probably familiar with tritium because it is used to make night sights for handguns and other weapons. 

    This launch and satellite is just a test of whether the power generation system; but the satellite is not, itself, powered by the NanoTritium system but still relies on solar power. City Labs explains the betavoltaic system as follows:

    NanoTritium™ betavoltaics convert energy from tritium decay directly into electrical power. In a betavoltaic device, beta particles emitted by tritium interact with a semiconductor structure, generating electrical current.

    Unlike conventional batteries, which store a finite amount of chemical energy, betavoltaics continuously generate low-level power from the natural decay of tritium. This makes them well suited for systems that require reliable, long-duration operation without charging, replacement, or routine maintenance.

    City Labs develops custom NanoTritium™ betavoltaics to fit a broad range of form factor and output requirements.

Killer Fog

On December 1, 1930, a thick fog started to roll into Belgium which eventually covered the entire country as well as large swathes of Europe and the southeast of England. By December 3, 1930, the death toll from the fog in the Meuse Valley in Belgium rose to 64 people. It was particularly devastating in the heavily industrialized Meuse Valley:

    The damage was immediate. Within three days, thousands of people in the Meuse Valley were suffering from respiratory problems, notably throat irritation, chest pains, coughing fits, difficulty breathing, increased adrenalin, nausea and vomiting.

    Over 60 people suffering from heart or lung disease died in two days. Many of the victims were under 30 years old; the youngest one was only 20 years old and died while walking home from a party. 

    One of the worst hit areas was the town of Engis, which had already garnered a reputation as Belgium’s most polluted town, where 56 of the deaths happened.

It is not the only time there was a deadly smog, as the same article notes that "the Great Smog Of London in 1952 killed around 12,000 people, according to modern estimates." (See also, "When the smoke clears: The legacy of killer smogs"--American Association for the Advancement of Science).

    The video, below, goes over the Meuse Valley incident, a similar incident in the U.S. in 1948, and even looks at a couple incidents in Africa where whole villages were wiped out by noxious gases apparently emitted by volcanoes.

Chase Tactical: How To Set Up A Plate Carrier

If you are planning on setting up a plate carrier, or even if you have already done so, you still might want to check out this article from Chase Tactical: "How to Set Up a Plate Carrier: Step-by-Step Guide for Operators." I'm not an operator, but I still have plates in case of "bump in the night" issues or for SHTF. The cited article has tips on selecting a carrier, selecting and inserting plates, fitting the carrier to your body, configuring your load out that is attached to the carrier, setting up medical access, testing it "stress", and a list of common problems or issues. 

    An issue I mostly see in television and movies (but let's be honest and admit that many people copy TV and movies) is body armor incorrectly adjusted so the plates are riding too low. The article notes, on that point:

Put the carrier on and adjust the shoulder straps so the top of the front plate is just below the sternal notch (the V at the base of your throat). The plate should cover from just below the collarbone to approximately the navel. If the plate rides too high, it will restrict neck movement. If it rides too low, it will not cover the lungs and upper abdomen.

 And another good point concerning mounting your gear and supplies to the carrier:

Divide your carrier into zones based on access priority. High-priority items go where you can reach them fastest with your dominant or non-dominant hand. Secondary items go where they are accessible but do not interfere with primary draws. Weight should be distributed evenly, left to right, to avoid uneven fatigue and posture issues over long operations.     

The author goes on to describe the configuration for the front panel, cummerbund, back panel, and suggestions on distributing weight. 

    A lot more in the article, so be sure to check it out. 

Diversity Is A Strength: Indian Crime Gangs In The U.S.

 The New York Post reports: "Murderous Indian terror gangs used California as a cash register while trafficking guns and drugs: feds." From the article:

    The feared Bishnoi gang founded by Lawrence Bishnoi, who remains locked in an Indian prison, used Whatsapp to direct the movements of hundreds of pounds of drugs across California and extort victims from LA and Thousand Oaks, court documents show.

    “Using contraband cellphones and other… devices smuggled into his jail cell, defendant Bishnoi personally directed political assassinations, murders, shootings, extortions, kidnappings, drug trafficking, human smuggling, and other crimes,” the documents say.

    The gang is accused of stealing about 1,150 pounds of cocaine from rival drug dealing outfits in the greater LA area between March 2024 and July 2025.    

[snip]

    One Bishnoi lieutenant, Rajan Bhatti, is accused of using terrifying threats in an attempt to extort $200,000 from an undercover federal officer posing as a wealthy expat living in LA, court papers reveal.

    “We’re going to cause harm to you,” Bhatti allegedly said. “Your kids, your family, everyone. It doesn’t matter to me if I kill someone. That’s what I do.”

    Members of another India-based crime outfit — the Bhagwanpuria gang, led by imprisoned Indian mastermind Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, 38 — are accused of ruthlessly exploiting their connections to extort victims, federal officials said.

    Bhagwanpuria gang member Gurlal Singh, 22, of Stockton, Calif., allegedly conspired with a corrupt cop in India’s Punjab state to falsely accuse their victims of murder and extort them over the pending case.

Wilder: The Surveillance State

John Wilder's latest piece, "The Economics of the Surveillance State," discusses the modern police state and how we are constantly tracked: everything from Flock and Ring cameras, to our smart phones, to our computers, and, increasingly, our cars. And all this data is collected by private entities who aren't subject to the Fourth Amendment.  And is this for public safety? No, of course not:

Government and Big Tech® now hold detailed maps of where you drive, what you read, who you talk to, and how you spend your time.  Also notice that they don’t bother to use these to catch murderers in Chicago or gang criminals.  No, they’re encouraging that violence.

They encourage the violence that can be used to intimidate the populace.

Better Video Of UK Cops Attacking Crime Victim

This is a better video of that recent incident of Birmingham Police acting as accessories to the assault and battery of a young white man by a group of black men, and offering a bit more context. Now you can clearly see that the cops were already there and stood by while the blacks harassed and finally attacked the white teen; and then the female cop rushing past the attackers to slam the white teen to the wall, while the blacks just quickly walked away.

The female officers were clearly accessories to the assault and battery committed by the blacks. They weren't breaking up a fight--the white teen didn't even have time to do anything to defend himself--and completely ignored the blacks to go straight for the white teen who was still struggling to stand back up. It looks like they were waiting for an excuse to rough up and arrest the white teen.

Venezuela Earthquake: Socialism In Action

 PJ Media's recent piece entitled "The Venezuelan Earthquakes Exposed Something — and It Wasn't Just Shoddy Infrastructure," once again demonstrates that socialism is just another word for corruption. This part, in particular, stuck out:

... The Venezuelan people and independent journalists there were reporting that Team Delcy [i.e., the interim Venezuelan president] wasn't really doing anything at all, and, at times, even denying access to media and volunteers, stealing aid, looting, charging families fees for the bodies of their dead loved ones, and refusing to mobilize the few resources she has access to. ...   

And that is, in a microcosm, everything you will ever need to know about socialism and socialists. Beyond that, you might want to read the article because it argues that the window to try and stabilize the country is fast running out.
