Secretary of State Marco Rubio just delivered the most brutal indictment of Third World Mass Immigration and Open Borders I've ever heard. “They tell us that we are compelled by a sacred legal obligation to give up our power, to surrender our sovereignty, to submit to the whims of our enemies, to allow our cities to descend into violent anarchy, to welcome in any foreigner from anywhere in the world who arrives at our doorstep without permission, to transform our towns into refugee camps for the entire planet.” “And beyond our borders, too, they would have us believe that we must allow our rivals to act against us with impunity, that those who flood our country with drugs and crime and death should be met with little more than the occasional and polite complaint.” “There is nothing, there is nothing in our history or the history of any other great nation that requires us to recognize the authority or legitimacy of any of these ridiculous ideas.” So good 🔥

ANOTHER BRILLIANT SPEECH FROM MARCO RUBIO
The Inegration of Open AI and Anthropic Systems May Have Been The Cause of The Microsoft Outage, As Well As Air Traffic Control, And Other Systems Around The World
REPORTER: “There are reports that the FAA was rolling out a new A.I. traffic control system today. Has there been any link between that?” SEC. MULLIN: “We’re looking at that. That’s part of something that obviously, through CISA at DHS, we are we’re taking a look.” https://t.co/E5Cp5FrUZa

First Microsoft Cloud Services Go Down Globally – Then FAA Radar Telcom Goes Down After SMART AI Rollout
Yesterday morning, Microsoft experienced a global outage affecting 12 of its cloud services. This included Microsoft 365 services such as Teams, Outlook, Copilot, and so on.
It disrupted businesses, government agencies, airlines, hospitals, and millions of computer users worldwide. It left critical email and communications services unavailable for more than 24 hours in some locations.
Airlines, financial institutions and technology companies were also affected. OpenAI and Anthropic reported problems with integrations connecting their AI services to Microsoft’s systems.
By Friday afternoon, Microsoft reported that it had corrected the underlying technical problem and that services were recovering. However, the company acknowledged that some customers were still experiencing intermittent disruptions and delayed email deliveries.
In Britain, courts suspended proceedings, police departments temporarily lost the ability to receive some online crime reports, and hospitals and pharmacies experienced communication problems. Government agencies in Australia, Japan, Singapore and other countries reported interrupted services.
While Microsoft continued recovering its systems, another major technological disruption emerged Friday afternoon.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered a nationwide ground stop at approximately 3:54 p.m. Eastern, halting departing flights across the U.S. because of communications problems involving the nation’s 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC).
The flight tracking site FlightAware lists 9,086 US flights as delayed as of 5:19PM ET. Some flights were already delayed by weather and other problems. The outage could affect over 700,000 people.
When asked if the new rollout of SMART AI at the ARTCCs could be the problem with the radar/telecommunication outage. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin replied, “We’re looking at that (AI).”

Paul Sperry: Security Experts Warn That Islamists Pilots Present an "Insider Threat" to Air Safety
When the Federal Aviation Administration reinforced cockpit doors after the 9/11 hijackings, it turned flight decks into fortresses to lock out terrorists. But what if a terrorist is already inside?That question has new urgency following the harrowing Sept. 30 attack aboard a FlyDubai flight in which a Muslim extremist (Islamist) pilot was forcefully stopped by a heroic pilot and brave passengers from crashing a plane bound for Israel.
Former aviation security officials say the FAA needs to reassess threats inside cockpits and the measures intended to counter them. They say this review is especially urgent because the agency has made insider threats to the cockpit more likely by recently forcing airlines to add a secondary barrier to the cockpit in the form of a metal gate on new planes.
Experts say the added security, while well-intentioned, could backfire following al-Qaeda's call last month for Islamist pilots to carry out more suicide attacks inside cockpits and for followers to infiltrate the ranks of pilots. Al-Qaeda has reestablished terror training camps in Afghanistan, along with recruiting and propaganda organs, echoing its pre-9/11 potency.
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that Howard Lutnick’s sons have $362 million in Nvidia
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that Howard Lutnick’s sons have $362 million in Nvidia
In May, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent President Donald Trump and top Cabinet members a classified memorandum detailing the relationship between the Huangs and the intelligence indicating that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy. The White House directed the Commerce Department to put Alice Huang’s Megaspeed on the entity list of companies that pose national security concerns.
Lutnick refused this request in May; he refused a second attempted crackdown order from Trump in August; and on Nov. 5, Lutnick reportedly stonewalled Trump again. And evidently, this wasn’t because Lutnick knew too little. Rather, the Commerce Department spent months last year conducting an investigation into Megaspeed and specifically whether it was illicitly smuggling Nvidia chips into China, only for Lutnick’s direct underling, Jeff Kessler, to invite Nvidia to reach out to Commerce about the case, bringing the department’s inquiry to an effective end.
I am sure it is just a coincidence that Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services firm that Lutnick led for 35 years before passing it off to his 20-something-year-old sons Brandon and Kyle, has a $362.3 million stake in Nvidia, which makes up 7% of Cantor’s entire portfolio.
Full details at the link, but here’s the important part that came out earlier this week: Lutnick stalled Trump’s Nvidia–China chip curbs after Oval talks.
Was The Microsoft Outage a Hack Job?
Lots of hot takes on the Microsoft 365 outage. Here's an engineering one. To be clear: this is speculation. Microsoft hasn't confirmed a root cause. It's my read of their own updates, from 35 years of building and breaking systems. What Microsoft has actually said: • Traffic isn't up. Capacity is down. Servers are failing health checks and dropping out. • A process that establishes secure connections gets overwhelmed, and servers stop processing requests. • Servers they bring back fall over again as soon as traffic hits them. • They're reverting a network config change that lines up with when it started. But changes aren't syncing, and some machines are stuck in a bad state. • No indication of an attack. My hypothesis: a metastable failure. Whatever triggered it may be long gone. The outage is now keeping itself alive. 1. Reconnect storm. Every Outlook, Teams and mobile client on the planet is hammering for a fresh secure connection. Full TLS handshakes are CPU-heavy, and a freshly rebooted server has a cold session cache. A server comes up, eats a wall of handshakes, CPU pegs, it fails its health check and gets pulled, and its load lands on the next one. Dominoes. 2. The fix shares fate with the failure. If the rollback travels over the same secure channel that's melting, the cure can't reach the patient. That's exactly what "changes aren't syncing" sounds like to me. That's why they're throttling traffic types and rebuilding servers from an older config instead of flipping a switch. You don't get out of this by finding the bug. You get out by shedding load, restoring capacity in isolated cells, and letting traffic back in slowly. Where AI fits (also speculation): not "an AI wrote the bad line". It's velocity. Microsoft flagged several recent config changes as suspects and took hours to find one that correlated. When the volume of change outpaces the humans who understand each change, finding the culprit gets slow and rollbacks get messy. Automate the shipping faster than you automate the understanding, and this is the bill. The takeaway for every business: your email, chat, files, identity and security tooling now share one failure domain. Today proved it. Have a way to talk to your team that doesn't live in the same tenant. Happy to be proven wrong by the post-incident review. And I hope this post ages terribly.

"I SAID NO, AND HE WAS A PERFECT GENTLEMAN ABOUT IT": Russell Brand's longtime friend and one-time fling Sammie Pressdee speaks out
Russell Brand's longtime friend and one-time fling @SammiePressdee speaks out to @MegynKelly about the TRUTH: "I said no, and he was a perfect gentleman about it... Not one single person ever warned me to be careful around Russell Brand. So, I don't buy the 'open secret'...” More: https://t.co/e7BgzDqp3U
— The Megyn Kelly Show (@MegynKellyShow) November 11, 2026
From Sarah Antoinette:
Russell Brand’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Pressdee has fiercely spoken out against the verdict. She stated the following:
"A wife is without her husband. Three children are without their Dad. Yet everyone thinks the real victim in this is a drunk groupie who was cheating on her boyfriend. Someone who has anonymity for life and will probably get a financial payout.
“If this drunk groupie thought he was a predator, why would she stand by and watch him sleep with 1000s more women? Didn't she care about those women?
"It's not true that women in the comedy industry warned each other about Russell. No one warned me, and it could not have been more obvious that I was connected to him. Just because I am a woman doesn't mean I should 'believe all women'.
"I would be more likely to believe women who report criminals to the POLICE. Not the media, decades later. I believe in the right to a fair trial. Convince me it was fair!"
She also slammed Georgina Bailey who claimed to be Brand’s ex-lover and had urged him to “tell the truth.”
"She was a groupie too,” Samantha revealed. “The kind of women throwing themselves at Brand back then often sold kiss-and-tell [stories] that were mostly made up.
"Russell paid for Georgina to go to rehab. Ballie has made a career out of sleeping with him. She's not his ex-girlfriend. At the time, she was in a burlesque troupe called 'The Satanic Sluts'."
At the moment, we are being led to believe that Russell Brand is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. There is no evidence - only the word of one woman and more words from people who don’t like him.
Now we have other words from someone who knew him that say the opposite of what the establishment and media are saying.
I also found Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s comments on TalkTV disgraceful. In the clip, she spoke about Brand as if he was 100% guilty, spoke in a rather venomous way about him saying she hoped he would go away for a long long time, and spoke about the accusers as if they are bastions of truth even though there is no way she could possibly know that.
This is trial by media. Trial by hearsay. Trial by dislike of one person. But trial by truth? No. Russell Brand faces serious danger in prison and was forbidden from saying goodbye to his kids. No mercy is being shown to him. I see only venom and hate. Yet I have seen Brand speak repeatedly about his faith for years, urging millions of people to find their own. The entire thing feels off and rancid. The more this case goes on and the more that is revealed by people like his ex-girlfriend, the more it becomes clear that something very wrong has happened here and we are in the midst of watching something very evil taking place.
One could say, "It would have been easy enough for him to pay her for these positive comments."
I really don't have much of an opinion on whether Russell Brand was a rapist, other than to say, I don't think it is really possible to prove rape in a "He Said She Said" case.
He may really have raped that woman, or women. How would I know?
But I have a hard time believing he is a rapist BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
Trump instructs Vance to focus on domestic leftist corruption instead of Iran
US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has instructed Vice President JD Vance to shift his attention to domestic issues, signaling that the administration no longer sees a need to pursue a diplomatic agreement with Iran.Here's more coverage of this development:
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had directed Vance to focus exclusively on investigating alleged corruption and criminal activity in Democratic-controlled cities and states across the United States.
"I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S.," Trump wrote.
The announcement comes as the administration continues its campaign of economic and military pressure against Iran, including a US naval blockade and efforts to prevent Tehran from generating revenue through international trade.
His post came after The Wall Street Journal reported that Vance was emerging as the lead negotiator with Iran and was considering face-to-face talks with a top Iranian security official. Vance’s efforts were aimed at ending the war — a war that Vance has blamed for the Republican midterm losses.In Vance's fantasyland, it's everyone else's fault but his. I recall that Mark Levin took issue with Vance's planned meeting with an Iranian diplomat, which ran the risk of negotiating with terrorists, and that's something that could harm the USA. So it's a good thing Trump took Vance off the case.
Since we're on the subject, Eddie Scarry at the Federalist has been going after Levin again, and the attack the former launched on the latter is disgusting:
Sometimes a person in the political realm can become so relentlessly irksome and absurd, almost willfully self-humiliating to an impressive degree, that they end up becoming kind of cute, in a pathetic, endearing way. Mark Levin has reached that point.I don't know what the quality of AOL's mail is these days, but this petty, and doesn't clearly explain why it's wrong to use brute force to defeat Iran, if that's what Scarry's implying. Or why it's somehow wrong to talk with his pals in Israel about anything. Even John Daniel Davidson's been making things worse by attacking Trump for ambiguous reasons, as could surely be expected from him at this point, and along with Scarry, he continues to make the Federalist most unbearable. I wonder how they feel now that Vance has been moved to different duties? Well I'm not waiting to find out. Their latest insults to the intellect are enough. Scarry doesn't seem to understand that subjects involving barbarism like what Iran's been dishing out are not something to joke about. That's what makes his absurd rant so repellent.
In recent days, Levin, a Fox News content creator and informal White House adviser, has exhibited a series of wild public crash-outs related to Israel, the Iran war, and Vice President J.D. Vance. There was even one about his AOL email account. (Yes! Just how lovable loser Steve Urkel of Family Matters drove a comically tiny buggy car for transportation, Levin uses AOL to correspond with his friends in Israel. Aww! Haha!)
Update: there is, however, an article here written by an ex-Muslim that's worth reading about. It's amazing they're still willing to publish items like those.
Is Green Energy Bad For The Environment?
Germany has spent half a trillion euros on its „green“ energy transition, decimated its industry, and pushed its economy into the deepest crisis since WWII. And the „green“ energy transition has hurt the climate badly as a result. Isn’t it really funny, that they are still convinced of their „moral superiority“, while the whole world laughs at them? How can one be so resistant against reality, facts and data, just because they contradict their childishly naive ideology?
