Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

I’m on Twitter / X through a VPN in Dallas, Texas, following the midterm elections. I’m actually based in the Netherlands.
And honestly, I’m absolutely stunned by the sheer scale of MAGA propaganda being shoved down Americans’ throats.
It’s as if Elon Musk has shoved a billion-dollar funnel into the mouths of American voters and is force-feeding them a grotesque blend of oligarchic and fascist propaganda until all that comes out is Republican foie gras.
The amount of Republican propaganda flooding your timeline is genuinely insane.
1. The so-called “America” account.
At the very top of the #1 Trending Topics, you’ll find an advertisement from an account called “America”.
Except it’s not America.
It’s a Republican propaganda account, sporting a gold verification badge, designed to manipulate and indoctrinate American voters.
2. Open Twitter / X from Texas.
A video automatically starts playing, portraying James Talarico as some kind of public enemy.
Cheap, shameless political propaganda.
Not a single word about his opponent, Ken Paxton.
Just an endless stream of attacks on Talarico.
Wonder why?
Perhaps because Ken Paxton has quite a little history of his own:
●Alleged corruption involving wealthy donor Nate Paul.
●Abuse of public office.
●Alleged bribery.
●Securities fraud charges.
●Alleged obstruction of justice.
●Retaliation against whistleblowers.
●Firing employees who reported him to the FBI.
●Alleged misuse of taxpayer-funded resources.
●Alleged interference in law-enforcement investigations.
●Alleged preferential treatment of political donors.
●Undisclosed compensation for promoting a company’s stock.
●Employment assistance for a woman with whom he acknowledged having an affair.
●Impeachment by the Republican-controlled Texas House.
●Acquittal by the Texas Senate.
●A $6.6 million whistleblower settlement.
●Controversy over extensive travel and taxpayer-funded security expenses.
Quite a résumé, isn’t it?
3. Fearmongering.
Republicans are also pushing the narrative that if Democrats win, democracy itself will be doomed.
Let that sink in for a moment.
They’re telling Americans that voting for Democrats is somehow a vote against democracy.
The irony is apparently completely lost on them.
4. Project 2025.
And then there’s Project 2025.
A detailed political blueprint for fundamentally reshaping the American federal government, concentrating executive power and dismantling longstanding institutional safeguards.
Critics have warned that its proposals threaten democratic checks and balances and could pave the way for authoritarian rule.
This isn’t some obscure conspiracy theory.
Its ideas are already influencing and being implemented in American politics.
5. Try a little experiment.
Google “James Talarico”.
The first two results you’ll encounter are sponsored advertisements paid for by TEXAS PAC and MAGA Inc.
Both pushing anti-Democratic messaging.
(See attached screenshot.)
This is what American voters are up against.
An unprecedented propaganda machine, backed by billionaires, political PACs and a social media platform that has become an increasingly powerful vehicle for partisan messaging.
And apparently, we’re supposed to believe this is all just about freedom of speech.
America, you deserve better than this.
Vote Blue. Vote Talarico. Vote for democracy. Vote for peace. For neighborliness. For tolerance. Vote against hate. Vote against polarization. Vote for your wallet. Vote to keep your freedom. Vote for inclusion ans tolerance.
Vote James Talarico.
Do what is needed for the future or yourself ánd your children.
Like ❤️ and RT this please.

While Kushner Negotiated for America, the Screen Showed Something Far More Sinister
Jared Kushner's hacked phone exposes secret billion-dollar money trail and possible crimes of federal bribery and foreign agents laws if he promised anything in return.
In an excerpt published by Vanity Fair from his upcoming book Princes and Thieves, investigative reporter Matthew Cole describes how Dutch military intelligence flipped a Russian GRU hacker in 2017 and used him to access a Russian server holding screenshots from Jared Kushner's iPhone. By early 2018, according to Cole, the Dutch had cracked the device themselves and could watch Kushner's screen in real time.
What they observed, Cole reports, was Kushner logging into a UAE bank account containing hundreds of millions of dollars that had been routed through a bank in Azerbaijan. Cole's reporting further alleges that Saudi and Emirati royals ultimately directed at least $2 billion into accounts tied to Kushner. That sum includes roughly $750 million at First Abu Dhabi Bank — where Kushner was allegedly a signatory on an account owned by an Emirati charity — and about $1 billion held in Israel's Central Bank.
Jared Kushner is far too compromised to negotiate on America's behalf. His self-enrichment, while pretending to prioritize the country's best interests, is an unconscionable betrayal.

Follow the smoke.
An average petrol car burns around 17,000 litres of fuel over its lifetime.
That’s 17,000 litres of something that has to be extracted from the ground, transported, refined, distributed and eventually burned.
And yet, every time someone wants to convince you that electric cars are bad for the environment, where do they point?
A lithium mine?
Cobalt mining?
They’ll show you pictures of scarred landscapes, enormous mining equipment and mountains of displaced earth.
They’ll tell you about the environmental damage caused by extracting lithium, nickel and cobalt.
And they’re right about one thing.
Mining has an environmental impact and nobody should pretend otherwise.
They’ll happily show you a lithium mine, but strangely enough, they never show you the oil wells.
They never show you the drilling rigs, the leaking pipelines, the gas flaring, the oil tankers crossing oceans or the refineries operating around the clock.
They never mention the energy required to extract crude oil from beneath the ground, transport it thousands of miles, turn it into petrol and deliver it to your local filling station.
And all of that happens before you’ve driven a single mile.
The materials required to manufacture an electric vehicle battery are largely extracted once.
Those materials can remain in the battery for hundreds of thousands of miles, and valuable metals can eventually be recovered and recycled.
An ICE vehicle needs a continuous supply of freshly extracted fossil fuels for its entire working life.
And when that petrol disappears through the exhaust, it doesn’t magically vanish.
It becomes carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, benzene and other emissions.
Burning just one litre of petrol produces approximately 2.3 kilograms of CO2 at the exhaust.
Multiply that by 17,000 litres.
That’s approximately 39 TONNES OF CO2.
And that’s just the exhaust emissions.
It doesn’t include extracting the oil, transporting it, refining it or delivering the petrol.
Meanwhile, the battery materials in an electric car are still physically there, ready to be recovered and used again.
That’s the difference between an energy system built around continuously burning resources and one increasingly capable of reusing them.
Lifecycle studies consistently find that electric cars produce substantially fewer greenhouse gas emissions than comparable petrol cars, even after accounting for battery manufacturing and electricity generation.
In fact, the International Council on Clean Transportation estimated in 2025 that battery electric cars sold in the European Union produce approximately 73% fewer lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than comparable petrol cars.
That’s not 73% less pollution from the exhaust.
That’s across the vehicle’s entire lifecycle, including manufacturing, energy production and driving.
Of course, electric vehicles aren’t environmentally perfect.
But nobody needs to pretend electric cars are perfect to demonstrate that they’re significantly cleaner.
They just need to compare the whole picture.
Where are the pictures of the oil industry?
Where are the drilling rigs?
Where are the refineries?
Where are the tankers?
FOLLOW THE SMOKE.

Story Time: Buckle up for this one.
Patient called today pissed off. They weren’t pissed at me, more so pissed at their insurance company @DevotedHealth and @CVSHealthPBM
For the past month, @DevotedHealth has been pestering them about switching their medications over to their mail order @CVSHealthPBM
First it was atorvastatin and Jardiance, because they said the patient would have “cheaper” copays.
The patient called us to verify those prices.
Our prices were identical to what they would have paid at mail order.
Patient told @CVSHealthPBM NO!
They wanted to stay local.
A few days later, patient gets a message from @CVSHealthPBM stating they had two prescriptions waiting to be sent to the patient. Just needed the go ahead to mail them out.
It was for the same 2 prescriptions they had said no to a few days prior.
Patient called them back and told them no, they want to continue getting them locally…. That was the end of it.
Until today…
Patient called back and said now @CVSHealthPBM has another prescription for metformin ready for me and has already mailed it out.
It’s a prescription we have been filling at our independent pharmacy all of this calendar year at a $0 copay.
Patient told them, I didn’t authorize you to get this prescription ready for me at mail order, how did you receive the prescription?
@CVSHealthPBM told them that their Dr. had authorized a new prescription for them.
Patient calls their Dr.
Dr. states they never sent a prescription to mail order @CVSHealthPBM
So, let me sum this up and put a nice little bow on it for you:
@CVSHealthPBM requested a new prescription from patient’s Dr. without their consent.
@CVSHealthPBM prepared the new prescription for patient without their consent.
And finally, @CVSHealthPBM mailed out the prescription for the patient without their consent.
I don’t know who is ultimately at fault for this, but it’s damn sure not the patient…
The patient keeps saying NO, but @CVSHealthPBM says we don’t give a shit, we’re going to do it anyway.

This telling is wrong in so many levels. The prime inventor of the technology was AC Propulsion with their Tzero roadster using induction motor technology. There was a group of 3, Martin Eberhard, Marc Tarpenning, and Ian Wright that were interested in commercializing it. Separately, Elon Musk and JB Straubel also were trying to convince AC Propulsion to commercialize it, and these two groups were connected together. All 5 were founders, as these two separate efforts were combined together, adopting the corporate structure and name of one of the groups. It was JB Straubel that was the primary in developing AC Propulsion’s technology into the Roadster.
Furthermore, Musk’s vision for Tesla Motors was substantially different than the first group’s ideas. Enough so that Ian Wright left to do his own thing. That vision of Tesla is what Tesla became. So in a very real sense, Tesla that we know today comes primarily from Musk and JB Straubel.

🚨 ANTHEM HAS DECIDED IT’S MY DOCTOR AGAIN
Earlier this year, @AnthemBCBS denied an MRI ordered to determine whether my CANCER HAD SPREAD, calling it “not medically necessary.”
I publicly called them out. The post went viral.
Anthem suddenly contacted me, apologized—and approved the scan.
Now they’re doing it again.
In August, I severely injured my left foot. I’ve been in acute pain ever since and am walking around Brooklyn in a giant medical boot.
After two weeks of fighting just to get access to an in-network podiatrist, I finally saw a specialist. She examined me, ordered an X-ray, saw a hairline fracture and damage around the Achilles/heel area, and ordered an MRI so she can determine exactly what I injured and how to treat it.
My podiatrist says the MRI is medically necessary and needs to happen ASAP.
Anthem denied it. “Not medically necessary.”
Let me make sure I understand this.
The specialist who actually examined my foot, reviewed my X-ray and is responsible for treating me says she needs an MRI.
Anthem — the insurance company that has to PAY for the MRI — says she doesn’t.
Apparently Anthem is my podiatrist now.
My MRI is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20 at 5 PM. Instead of simply getting the medical care my doctor ordered, I am now spending my time calling the provider, the imaging center and Anthem’s appeals department trying to persuade an insurance company to let my doctor practice medicine.
And yes, there is an appeal process.
There is always an appeal process.
Because apparently being injured isn’t enough. You also need a second job as your own insurance claims attorney.
Here is what makes me angriest:
If Anthem refuses to approve the scan, I can pay for it myself.
Millions of Americans cannot.
What happens when someone living paycheck to paycheck is told the MRI their doctor ordered isn’t “medically necessary”?
What happens when it isn’t a foot?
What happens when it’s cancer?
What happens when the patient simply gives up because they don’t have the money, time, energy or platform to fight a massive insurance company?
I have already learned what happens when you publicly embarrass Anthem.
A scan that wasn’t “medically necessary” suddenly became medically necessary.
Nothing about my condition changed.
The public attention did.
Access to healthcare should not depend on your ability to make an insurance company uncomfortable on social media.
My doctor ordered the MRI.
Anthem denied it.
The scan is Tuesday at 5 PM.
Let’s see who blinks.
And if you’ve had an insurance company deny care your doctor said you needed, tell me your story.
I have a feeling there are a lot of us.

The actual facts about SpaceX in Ukraine:
- SpaceX is a private company with zero obligation to help Ukraine, yet it stepped up when governments dragged their feet.
- Starlink and Starshield are not the same. Starshield is under U.S. government control. That is who made last night’s call.
- Ukraine accounts for only a micro fraction of SpaceX’s revenue, while the company bears the risks of operating amid Russian attacks and geopolitical pressure. The financial return hardly justifies the exposure. SpaceX helps because it chooses to. Starshield access, meanwhile, is up to the US government.
- SpaceX has every right to set limits on how its technology is used. They own it and bear consequences for it. This is while they actively collaborate to take down Russian access to Starlink that threatens to collapse Ukraine.
- Throwing tantrums over not getting all your demands, including offensive use, or simply because Elon disagrees with you, while SpaceX risks its assets to help, says plenty about your character.
- Demanding a company be nationalized so you can just take its product is the loudest confession that you cannot build anything. You can only steal.
- Europeans should try to build their own. As a space fan, I'd celebrate it.
- I don't care about the politics. But attacking the company that stepped up when it had no obligation to help is pathetic.
The truth is, without Starlink saving Ukrainian communication in the early days, their reality would have severly looked very different today, and they should be grateful.

EVs require 250 tonnes of mining for ONE battery.
This is a perfect example of manipulating statistics to make EVs look bad.
It’s designed to make you believe hundreds of tonnes of earth are moved exclusively to manufacture ONE Tesla battery.
That’s not how mining works.
Large-scale mining supplies materials to dozens of industries, including construction, electronics, aviation, manufacturing and the oil industry.
Many mines produce multiple minerals. Cobalt, for example, is often recovered as a by-product of copper and nickel mining.
You also conveniently ignore that many Teslas use LFP batteries containing ZERO cobalt or nickel.
And where’s the evidence that every Tesla battery requires exactly 250 tonnes of earth to be moved?
Different batteries and mining operations require different amounts of material.
Nobody disputes that EV batteries require mining.
But petrol and diesel vehicles also require mining and manufacturing, followed by a lifetime of oil extraction, transportation, refining and burning.
Why didn’t he mention that?
Unlike petrol and diesel, the minerals inside an EV battery aren’t burned every time you drive. Many can eventually be recycled.
And here’s what really matters…
The ICCT estimates that electric cars produce around 73% fewer lifetime greenhouse gas emissions than equivalent petrol cars in Europe.
That includes battery manufacturing, mining and electricity generation.
Nobody claims EVs have zero environmental impact.
But the evidence shows their overall climate impact is considerably lower.
The real scam is cherry-picking statistics, ignoring the bigger picture and hoping nobody questions them.
.
Dit is een Tesla batterij.
Om het te maken heb je nodig:
12 ton steen voor lithium
5 ton kobalt mineralen
3 ton mineraal voor nikkel
12 ton kopererts
Verplaats 250 ton grond om te verkrijgen:
12 kg lithium
30 pond stuivers
22 kg mangaan
15 pond kobalt
100 kg rammen
200 kg aluminium, staal en plastic.
De Caterpillar 994A gebruikt voor grondverzet verbruikt 1000 liter diesel in 12 uur.
Eindelijk krijg je een “zero uitstoot” auto.

2) "What a time to be alive..."
3) "I honestly shed a tear at how beautiful this is. This is humanity at its best, this is what technology is all about."
Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Here is the full 30-minute interview with Ron Baron. He spoke about Elon, Tesla, FSD, SpaceX, Starlink, robots, AI agents and data centers in space.
Key highlights:
• He predicted Starlink could generate $1 trillion in annual revenue within 10 years and help SpaceX reach a value of around $15 trillion.
• Baron Capital holds about $25 billion in SpaceX and $5 billion in Tesla.
• Ron said Elon’s companies generated $30 billion of the $71 billion in profits Baron Capital has made for clients.
• Ron personally has about $5 billion invested in SpaceX and $1.5 billion in Tesla.
• He called Tesla the best and said now is the time to buy the stock as FSD adoption and Tesla’s market share continue to grow.
• He shared how his Tesla drove him to a restaurant, stopped for a family of ducks and parked by itself.
• He will support whatever Elon decides about a possible SpaceX and Tesla combination.
• He praised Elon’s curiosity, engineering skills and ability to attract the world’s best talent.
• He said reusable rockets have reduced launch costs from $18,700 per kilogram to around $1,500, while Starship could lower the cost to just $100 to $150.
• He called Starlink “the internet for the entire planet,” with no dead areas on land, at sea or in the air.
• He predicts Starlink could grow from 15 million to 300 million customers and expand to 100,000 satellites.
• He expects governments, businesses, mobile users and AI agents to create massive demand for Starlink.
• He believes satellite internet and direct-to-phone service could completely change the traditional telecom industry.
• He said AI agents working around the clock will require huge amounts of internet capacity and computing power.
• He expects data centers to begin operating in space by 2027 or 2028.
• He calls the orbital AI computing opportunity “Starmind” and believes it could become many times bigger than Starlink.
• He also discussed Tesla and SpaceX producing chips, energy and massive computing infrastructure.
• He said inflation causes prices to double about every 14 to 15 years, making long-term investing essential.
• His final prediction: Baron Capital could make hundreds of billions of dollars from Elon Musk’s companies over the next 10 years.

In 1985, Carl Sagan sat in front of the United States Senate and described the weather of 2026.
Not as prediction. As physics.
Sitting across from him was a junior senator named Al Gore — who would later win the Nobel Prize, the Oscar, and build a climate investment fund worth over $36 billion repeating almost word for word what Sagan said that afternoon.
Sagan opened with Venus.
470°C surface temperature. 900°F. Hot enough to melt lead.
"Not because it's closer to the sun," he told the senators. "Venus actually reflects more light than Earth. It should be cooler."
The reason it wasn't: carbon dioxide. A runaway greenhouse effect that turned a planet nearly identical to Earth into a furnace.
Then he looked at the committee and said: we're running the same experiment here.
The senators nodded politely.
Then they went back to approving fossil fuel subsidies.
What Sagan told Congress in 1985:
Global average temperature will rise several degrees by mid-to-late next century.
Local climates will redistribute.
Glaciers will melt. Sea levels will rise.
And the problem cannot be solved by any single nation — not even if the US and Soviet Union agreed on everything — without China.
China, he said, had the world's largest coal reserves and was about to industrialize.
Every sentence was correct.
He also said something that got almost no coverage at the time:
"The initial stages of global temperature increase — one region might benefit while another suffers."
That is the sentence that explains the last 20 years of geopolitics.
Canada's growing season expanding while Pakistan floods. Russia opening Arctic shipping lanes while Bangladesh disappears. The politics of climate was never going to be clean because the physics wasn't distributed evenly.
Sagan mapped all of it from first principles, in a Senate hearing room, 41 years ago.
The part nobody quotes:
He didn't say stop burning fossil fuels immediately.
He said: "That has such severe economic consequences that no one will take it seriously."
So he proposed something else — remove government subsidies from fossil fuels, accelerate solar, develop safe nuclear fission, and begin building international frameworks before the crisis made them impossible.
That's not an environmentalist's speech. That's an economist's.
Carl Sagan wrote 20 books. Cosmos was watched by 500 million people across 60 countries. He won the Pulitzer. The ideas in this testimony became the scientific foundation for a carbon market now valued at over $800 billion annually.
He said one line at the end that nobody remembers.
"We are all in this greenhouse together."
In 1985, that was poetic.
Now it's a weather report.
The full testimony is free on YouTube. 17 minutes. Almost nobody outside of climate policy circles has watched it as a complete predictive model — laid out in plain language before any of it happened.

Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.
We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.
And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.
As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.
