If I supply the power source, can I mount one of these on the roof of my house?
This is a serious question @LockheedMartin! I will ask the same question of you @RepPatHarrigan (@PatHarriganNC)...I'm more likely to get a response from Lockheed than I am my own representative.
🇺🇸 BREAKING: US Lockheed Martin Unveils MORFIUS — The Drone Killer Built to Take Down Swarms
Lockheed Martin says its MORFIUS™ high power microwave system can neutralize more than 50 enemy drones in a single flight.
Instead of firing an interceptor at every target, MORFIUS uses directed microwave energy to defeat multiple unmanned aircraft, offering a potentially low cost per kill solution against mass drone attacks.
As drone swarms become larger and more autonomous, systems like MORFIUS are emerging as a key part of the next generation of counter UAS warfare.

.@AFergusonFTC: "A lot of journalists in the room today — everyone knew about the Quality Learing Center... No one reported it... It took one brave kid and a camera to make everyone aware of this, and it launched a revolution."
.@POTUS: Today, I'm thrilled to announce the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program. Americans will now be able to report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities via a new website — and they'll be given a commission of one percent.

Don’t allow Democrats to take Texas.
Get out and vote Republican.
VoteSafe.org
Before you go to vote, remember what is at stake.
James Talarico will be a 100% reliable vote for Chuck Schumer. He will re-open our borders, take away your Second Amendment rights, and end Texas' oil industry.
He will fight for taxpayer funded abortion through birth and trans surgeries for minors-- and rub your most deeply held Christian beliefs in your face while doing it.
We need everyone to get out and vote for @KenPaxtonTX, a leader who will deliver for us in the Senate just as he's done as our Attorney General.

A CH-47 Chinook helicopter assigned to Joint Task Force-Bravo lands during a mission in Los Ñopos, Panama, Oct. 16, 2026.
In response to a request from the Panamanian government, the @DeptofWar supported @StateDept-led U.S. disaster assistance to the people of Panama in the aftermath of the Oct. 9, 2026, earthquake.

🚨 BREAKING: The White House just told middle-class Americans exactly where their paychecks have been going, and it's infuriating.
From the podium: "If you're a middle class taxpayer in this country, before President Trump came along, you spent half your working life paying for fraudsters and scammers."
Think about that. You paid every parking ticket and did everything the right way. Meanwhile, fake day cares billed for kids who didn't exist, and the crooks bought Mercedes, BMWs and mansions on your dime.
The administration says it's already recovered a quarter of a trillion dollars and is aiming for a trillion.
The looting is over. Time to take it all back.

The fate of Texas and America is at stake. Vote for @KenPaxtonTX today.

WATCH: A makeshift boat packed with 66 migrants is intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard in the Caribbean, with aerial footage capturing the vessel as crews move in to assist those onboard.
The Coast Guard says the vessel was stopped Friday in the Mona Passage, a stretch of water between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Of the 66 migrants, 63 were returned to the Dominican Republic, while three are now in custody facing charges for attempting to illegally reenter the United States.

Just tried again to comment on a judge's sentencing
I am prevented from registering my comment
So I am being censored
I can hardly believe this is happening in Britain
Is it a coincidence that monthly rental prices is declining in the nations 50 largest cities AT THE SAME TIME that the number of illegal aliens in those cities is also declining?
Median asking rent is down to $1,694 across the 50 largest metros.
Also down: the number of illegal aliens across the 50 largest metros.
@POTUS’ immigration policies have opened rental supply and cut costs for American families.

.@SECWAR "The days of the Pentagon rewarding the comfortable old guard for failure are over.
Rewarding the same contracts, the same people who have the most lobbyists and the most political connections ARE OVER.
We don’t care whose name is on the side of that capability. We simply want the best."

Meanwhile, the media cartel largely ignores this incredibly disturbing plot discovered by @DataRepublican, likely preparing to dismiss it as a “debunked conspiracy theory”

The Trump admin has revoked more visas at a faster pace than ANY ADMIN IN HISTORY.
There is absolutely ZERO tolerance for foreign nationals on visas who violate the law, commit fraud, or threaten national security.

If you don't know who @Petermarocco is - he is the DOGE administrator who actually ended USAID. We worked together. He's a grizzled veteran, tougher than nails, knows all the USAID bodies. He's not easy to shake.
But I showed Pete the next clip I'm dropping tonight, and his reaction was "holy crap" followed by "Seriously, that tape is straight up coup" followed by a discussion of how to get the materials over to the DoJ.
I'm working on getting this out in some publicly consumable format - I can't just mirror 250 GB of scraped data on my website (there are legality reasons). I'm also looking into sharing the data with media contacts.

The value of Terafab’s output will place it in the top 20 of country GDP in a single building
According to Korean media, Elon Musk's Terafab is now talking to almost EVERY Korean chip supplier it can find.
Until now, the only known Korean suppliers were HPSP and Hanmi Semiconductor.
Now TheElec reports that Tesla and SpaceX are in talks across nearly every category Korean companies can supply, from basic piping parts to process materials to test components.
At SEMICON West in San Francisco last week, Terafab staff walked straight to around 10 Korean booths on the morning of day one, including ENF Technology, Dongjin Semichem, Hanmi Semiconductor, Unisem and MiCo.
Several companies have already signed NDAs. One got an NDA by email the same evening Terafab visited its booth.
Hanmi Semiconductor is discussing TC bonders for Terafab, and HPSP has agreed to supply one high pressure hydrogen annealing tool to the R&D line.
MiCo's cleaning unit Komico signed a three way NDA with Tesla and SpaceX about a month ago, and ISC is already swapping samples for rubber test sockets.
Tesla and SpaceX do not buy from Chinese suppliers. One Korean supplier put it simply, without China there are only a few options, and Japan is expensive.
They also want prices that are CHEAPER than China.
$LRCX and $AMAT have reportedly built dedicated Terafab teams, and Fujifilm is meeting Terafab buyers regularly on slurries, photoresist and etchants.
The goal is a fab with 1 million wafer starts per month within 10 years, with $16.8 billion of initial investment and more than 3,000 jobs.
SpaceX broke ground in Grimes County, Texas this month, and the first 100,000 wafer per month phase is expected before 2030.
Logic is being done with $INTC, talks with $TSM are ongoing, and memory will be built separately.
One supplier said that if they email Terafab in the middle of the night in the United States, they get an answer in 30 minutes to an hour.
$TSLA and $SPCX are building a chip supply chain at Elon speed.

🔥 Nick Shirley is in the Oval Office next to President Trump DIRECTLY CALLING OUT the fake news media for COVERING for fraudsters
@nickshirleyy: "When I exposed fraud, instead of the mainstream media investigating the FRAUD, they investigated ME!"
POTUS: "Were you surprised by that, Nick?" 🤣
We SHOULDN'T be surprised. They're enemies of the people.

"Musk cited the political establishment’s lack of will as the main reason for the difficulty in reducing the fiscal deficit. He argued, 'No one in the White House, Senate, House, or judiciary has the will to cut spending,' and claimed that except for a few like Republican Senator Rand Paul, there are virtually no politicians willing to reduce government spending."
