If heat-trapping pollution from burning coal, oil and gas continues unchecked, thousands of hazardous sites across the US risk being flooded from sea level rise by the turn of the century, posing serious health risks to nearby communities, according to a new study. read more


US Naval Academy Superintendent USMC Lt. Gen. Michael Borgschulte relieved Commandant of Midshipmen USN CAPT Gilbert Clark Jr five months after he assumed the position "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to effectively lead the Brigade of Midshipmen."


In a leaked lecture, mega-oligarch South African racist Peter Thiel says he's urged VPOTUS JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions like immigration, intimating that the Pontiff is a potential manifestation of the Antichrist.


In an unusual diplomatic move, China supremo Xi Jinping telephoned Dummkopf Trumpf to discuss Taiwan, a flashpoint that has surged to the forefront in recent days as Japan takes a more assertive stance on the island's autonomy.

"In his role as commandant, USN CAPT Gilbert Clark oversaw the day-to-day conduct, military training, and professional development of the service academy's students.

"The naval service maintains the highest standards for leaders and holds them accountable when those standards are not met," the service academy said.

The release did not provide further details of Clark's dismissal. The Navy often uses the "loss of confidence" phrase when dismissing senior leadership.

Clark's dismissal is the latest of several shakeups in the service academy's leadership this year.

In July, Vice. Adm. Yvette M. Davids, the first woman to serve as the superintendent of the school, was nominated to become deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans, strategy, and warfighting development.

Davids was replaced by Borgschulte, the first USMC officer to serve as the service academy's superintendent."

The malevolent Trumpf junta and USSECDEF Pete "Hic" Kegsbreath, the most underqualified sycophantic dipsomaniac to ever lead the military of any country on the planet, continues to purge officers they deem as disloyal to the war-mongering, white supremacist MAGA agenda. The former second -rate Faux News TV tumor's Senate confirmation was the worst ever, needing VPOTUS JD Vance to cast the deciding vote to break a 50-50 tie. Kegsbreath announced an unlawful investigation of US Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) and he has ordered the murders of several alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea. The US military-industrial complex (MIC) is getting ready to illegally attack resource-rich Venezuela, all funded by the hardworking American taxpayer in a war that will only benefit the oligarchs, White House insiders, the MIC, and, of course, the oil industry.

Worst. USSECDEF. Ever.

Just before travel begins for the Thanksgiving Day weekend, empty-head US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy bleated: "It honors our country ... don't take your shoes off and put your feet on the chair ahead of you." x.com

And the idiot brayed his inane demands to economy class passengers at Newark Intl Airport (EWR), the epicenter of America's failing aviation sector thanks to him and the incompetent Trumpf junta.

While Taiwan was Xi Jinping's focus, Dummkopf Trumpf steered the conversation to Ukraine. The two issues, Taiwan and Ukraine, are both sensitive for US-China relations, but they are rarely linked in discussions between the two leaders. Xi made the outreach, turning the high-level communication into a rare diplomatic overture from China. During his call with Trumpf, Xi said, "Taiwan's return to China is an important component of the post-war international order," according to an official account of the conversation by China's state media.

Historical Texture

Japan-Taiwan annual trade totals around $88.2 billion, with Japan exporting about $54.6 billion to Taiwan and importing approximately $33.6 billion from Taiwan. Japan's new rightwing PM Sanae Takaichi and her military establishment are taking the threats emanating from China and North Korea much more seriously than ever before. Takaichi cites the late UK PM Margaret "the Iron Lady" Thatcher as her role model. Although harshly exploited, both Taiwan and South Korea grudgingly and quietly acknowledge that Japan's pre-WWII occupation modernized their countries and developed their intelligence services. The last Japanese soldier to surrender after World War II was Teruo Nakamura, who was discovered on the Indonesian island of Morotai in Dec 1974, nearly 30 years after the war ended. Nakamura was not ethnically Japanese; he was a Taiwanese-Japanese soldier, born in Taiwan (then a Japanese colony) and conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan do not recognize the State of Palestine simply out of deference to America's AIPAC-influenced position on the matter as they need the US nuclear umbrella to protect them.
