James K. Polk was born on this day, November 2, 1795, in Pineville, North Carolina. He's one of my favorite presidents. Polk was a protégé and ally of Andrew Jackson, and they called him "Young Hickory." He served in the House, rising to Speaker. He supported Jackson's fights, including the Bank War, as a loyal lieutenant. He won the 1844 election as the first real dark horse nominee. He also promised something almost no politician does. He said he would serve one term, and that’s it. Once President, he got to work. Texas was part of it, though the wheels were in motion well before he took office. Texas wasn't officially a state when Polk assumed the Presidency. Texas voters approved it that October, and Polk signed the bill making Texas the 28th state on December 29, 1845. He finished what others started. He settled the Oregon boundary with Britain at the 49th parallel. He won the war with Mexico and brought in California and the Southwest. He cut the tariff with the Walker Tariff and set up the Independent Treasury System. In four years, he accomplished nearly everything he set out to do, and the country grew by well over a million square miles. He kept his word and left office in March 1849, worn out from the work. He died on June 15, 1849, only about three months later, at 53. Whatever you think of him, he set goals, hit every one, and went home. That’s rare. Especially for the Presidency.

You know how rare this is? We’re voting in the same year America turned 250. The people who put this system together knew it would only last if later generations kept showing up and taking responsibility for it. Washington said in his Farewell Address “The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government.” They weren’t building something that didn’t help staying together. They were handing over a republic that depended on the people continuing to govern themselves. Jefferson warned that “if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Most of us take that for granted now but living here in its 250th year still feels like something worth defending. Tomorrow is Election Day so if that still means something to you, go vote. Go honor your ancestors.

🚨BREAKING UPDATE: Texas tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife, their two young children, and several others have been identified in reports as victims of Sunday’s devastating Learjet 60 crash in Palm Beach County, Florida.🚨 Robinson, 44, was an Austin-based entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of several successful technology companies, including Retention .com, RB2B, and MoltSets. He was reportedly traveling with his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, their two young children, the family’s nanny, and two close friends when the aircraft went down. All nine people aboard were killed. Robinson grew up near Houston, graduated from Rice University, and spent approximately a decade working on Wall Street, including at Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital, before transitioning into entrepreneurship. He went on to build multiple successful companies, including Retention .com, a marketing technology company reportedly generating more than $20 million in annual recurring revenue. He was known for building highly profitable businesses with small teams and without relying heavily on outside investors. His wife, Helen, was also an entrepreneur and ceramic artist who operated Helen Sharp Ceramics. The family was traveling aboard the 2004 Learjet 60, bound for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. During the flight, the crew reported icing, turbulence, and precipitation before requesting clearance to climb to a higher altitude. Shortly afterward, the aircraft began descending at an alarming rate, with the crew reporting a descent of approximately 20,000 feet per minute. The two pilots have also been identified in reports as Captain Jeff Gregory, 55, and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, just 20 years old. Please keep their families and friends in your prayers.

It looks like the early Europeans who conducted ethnographic studies of Africans were correct: (1) In 1670 the Scottish cartographer John Ogilby observed that Africans everywhere had an urge to steal, especially from Whites who were trying to educate them. He observed that Africans would boast about stealing as an achievement. He concluded this was innate to Africans. (2) John Duncan, in his book Travels in Western Africa (1845) concluded that the predominant passion of Africans was theft, among their many other "depravities". (3) William Reade, in Savage Africa (1864), wrote: "The Africans are all of them thieves. They have no sense of honor in that respect." (4) Mungo Park concluded that stealing was the most prominent defect in the character of Africans: "We found the people thieves to a man." (5) Thomas Hutchinson wrote (in his 1858 book Impressions of Western Africa): "Show me a Black man, and I will show you a thief". (6) The Swedish explorer Charles Andersson believed that no one in Africa, from the king to the slave, would have second thoughts about stealing the shirt off his back if he could get away with it. -----Or do you think that if Whites spend another trillion dollars educating Blacks they will eventually give up this African custom?

Ciara Mageean. 34. European 1500m champion. Two-time Olympian. She was vaccinated ahead of Tokyo as part of the Pfizer-IOC deal for athletes. She later spoke publicly about a booster disrupting her cycle. Diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in May 2025. Dead by November 2026. She got married in October. Died three weeks later. Elite athlete. Peak fitness. Stage 4 bowel cancer at 34. They called it tragic. They called her brave. They won’t call it anything else.

My guess: ice crystals blocked the pitot tubes, bad airspeed led to an upset, then Mach overspeed. Same chain as AF447. 1. The crew reported "light, clear ice that is manageable," moderate turbulence, and -47C outside air temp at FL350, in the top of a storm cell. 2. They reported precipitation and asked to climb. ADS-B shows a brief ~450 ft climb, then 20,000 fpm down within about 16 seconds. 3. The pilot called "overspeed, descending 20,000 feet per minute." The track became a tightening right spiral, ground in about 77 seconds, no recovery. 4. At -47C there's little wet ice to load up a wing. But storm tops are full of ice crystals, which are known to clog pitot tubes and give false airspeed. That's what happened to Air France 447, and Austral 2553 in 1997 ended in a dive and breakup after the same thing So, ice crystals give bad airspeed data, the autopilot drops off or the crew reacts to bad numbers, the jet upsets, goes past Mach limits, the nose tucks, and it can't be recovered. Overspeed stress may have damaged the airframe on the way down. But, I'm less sold on the tail being ripped off at altitude. That usually means an instant pitch-down and wreckage spread over miles. This was a spiral that built up over time and ended in one huge crater.

"Where's the debris?" Here. Here are some of the planes debris. 🙄 Most of it either disintegrated into small fragments or is buried deep in the soft, rain-soaked soil. But some of it was thrown out by the explosion and the impact, glanced off the asphalt where part of the jet hit the road, and landed in the mobile home park next door. Residents there are finding pieces of the plane all over the neighborhood. In the video he's saying, in Spanish, "Look, that's a part of a plane... pieces everywhere." Look at what he's finding: small pieces of riveted aluminum skin and structure, some still wearing the yellow-green primer used inside airframes, mixed in with sand and gravel thrown out of the crater. No wings, no tail, no big sections. Just fragments. That's exactly what physics predicts. The jet hit at about 700 mph at a steep 68 degrees, so most of the airplane drove straight into the ground. But it was still moving sideways at roughly 260 mph when it hit, the fuel went up in a fireball, and the impact blasted soil out of the crater. All of that flings the lightest fragments outward, and thin aluminum skin carries a long way. This is also the difference between a ground impact and a mid-air breakup or missile strike. Hit something in the air and wreckage, including big pieces like the tail and wings, rains down along a trail that can stretch for miles. Here you have a crater with small fragments sprayed around it, and a transponder that kept reporting all the way to the ground. One impact, one spot. The plane didn't vanish. Most of it is in the ground, and the rest is in people's yards.

A pilot who says he has a couple thousand hours in Learjets has a theory about this crash.

And a plane comes missiling down to the ground within the same week of installation and same hour as this. Weirddddd

ICYMI: Footage from Halloween night in Dallas shows crowds scattering as gunfire tore through the Deep Ellum entertainment district, leaving four people dead. It started just after midnight on Elm Street, and minutes later more shots rang out on Commerce Street and the blocks around it. Three people were killed at one spot and a fourth at another, while more than a dozen others were wounded across three separate shootings. Police say one suspect is in custody for one of the shootings, and investigators are still working out whether they’re connected. Deep Ellum is known for live music, bars, and street art, but this isn’t the first time violence has hit it. Back in May, a shooting there killed a security guard and wounded five others. A night meant for costumes and fun turned into a crime scene stretching across several blocks. What would it take for you to feel safe going out in a big city at night?

It's go time. They want to erase us.
