SpaceX has successfully deployed Starlink V3 satellites into Earth’s orbit and made contact with them for the first time.
At scale, one Starship carries 60 V3 satellites, the same network capacity as about 20 Falcon 9 launches.

This is an extremely interesting discussion about topics I discuss every week on my show. My one sole wish for National Socialists in the United States is to make a serious study of these subjects and put everything into penetrating and disrupting the American electoral system.
Wrecking the two-party system is the prerequisite for political revolution in this country. Not changing the culture, not community building, not learning martial arts. All these things are okay as hobbies but none of them have anything to do with obtaining political power. We have one political system in this country, and if we're not training up our people to be artists and technicians in how to destroy it, then we're not even in the game.
And by the way, Briahna Joy Grey is someone I love to hate and Robby Soave is someone I just plain hate—but it's a testament to how far our “movement” is behind on these topics that so few of our leading thinkers are even paying attention to these problems.

Independents have grown to 47% of the population, rising roughly 10 points since just after President Donald Trump’s first term as president, according to CNN polling. Over the last 20 years, CNN polling found independent identification peaked in 2015 at just a shade higher than it is today: 48% of Americans on average across all CNN polling that year were independents
The poll suggests a shift away from Republicans since 2024 among registered voters, another ominous sign for the GOP ahead of the upcoming midterm elections as Trump’s approval ratings have sagged.
Since 2024, younger voters, male voters and White voters without college degrees have shifted away from the GOP, but not necessarily toward the Democrats. In the new poll, 17% of voters younger than 45 say they consider themselves Republicans, down from 26% who said the same in 2024. But the share who call themselves Democrats is fairly steady at 33%, with 50% saying they don’t consider themselves a part of either party. There are similar patterns among men – young men in particular – and White voters without college degrees.

Around the 20 minute mark a discussion begins about DSA and its successes but also pitfalls. One problem discussed is when a candidate from a radical membership organization gets so big (AOC, Mamdani) that they can break from the org on an important issue (such as endorsing ‘AIPAC Monkey’ Jeffries to be Speaker of the House) and because of their clout, the membership org is not able to effectively discipline them.
One of the reasons why I've been studying Mao is he didn't fall into any of these deceleration reformist traps to which so many revolutionary movements succumb. But he also didn't just stake out a position of ideological purity and stay out in the political wilderness! This is what he defined as the problem of the dogmatists vs empiricists.
If we could do what DSA is doing we'd be light-years ahead of where we are today as a movement. But to do what Mao did, and successfully carry out a radical revolution without succumbing either to compromising away our ideals or purity spiraling to the point of spinning off into total political irrelevance, is orders of magnitude more difficult!
But this must be our ultimate goal if we are serious National Socialists.

Documents show the littoral combat ship urgently required work on its propulsion engines and generators to prevent potential engine failure and protect crew safety.
A non-operational fire pump was also said to “severely compromise” firefighting capability, while failure to replace a stern tube seal risked “catastrophic flooding.”

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: Eight U.S. Marines were injured in a recent Iranian cruise missile attack against a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz – NBC According to three U.S. officials, the marines were operating aboard a ‘U.S.-contracted’ vessel, rather than an actual…
The only ship that was reported to have been hit on September 14th was St. Helena. She was used for a period of time as a floating armory before being repurposed for expedition cruising.
The U.S. Navy likely converted the ship into an armed merchant cruiser. The Navy was looking into placing U.S. Marines as guards on commercial ships a few years ago to prevent Iran from seizing vessels in the Persian Gulf (2023 article).
St Helena is owned and operated by Ambrey Limited out of the UK.
Ambrey is "an award-winning maritime security provider, trusted to safeguard more vessels than any other company in the industry. Operating in some of the world’s most high-risk regions, we protect ships, crews, and cargo—ensuring our clients stay connected to global trade without disruption."
They would still need air cover for more dynamic threats, specifically missile - both cruise and ballistic.
