🔋 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 Tesla Megapacks massively increase electric power generation efficiency, as they can buffer power at night for use in the day, dramatically reducing the need to build new powerplants. It also allows for the least efficient power plants to be shut down.
🔋 Tesla Megapack: 43 MWh of Tesla Megapacks are now operating at Kenes Koho's site in Sendai, Miyagi in northeast Japan – the first utility-scale Megapack site to provide frequency control to the Japanese balancing market

🟧 ANC and FF Plus forge agreement in Northern Cape with Orania condition
The ANC needed a single vote in the Northern Cape legislature to secure the election of their premier and speaker candidates.
In an unlikely turn of events, the ANC reached out to the conservative FF Plus for their single seat vote.
One of the only conditions set by the leaders of the FF Plus is that Orania's right to self-determination will not be undermined by the ANC.
The FF Plus refused any offer by the ANC for positions in the Northern Cape's executive council.

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 💵 Key Democrats allow US sale of F-15 jets to Israel in $18 billion deal
🔶️ Two key congressional Democrats have given their approval to allow the Biden administration to proceed with what is believed to be the biggest weapons package for Israel, expected to be worth more than $18 billion and include some 50 F-15 fighter jets.
🔶️ Rep. Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had delayed signing off, telling CNN in April that he was still looking for “assurances” from the Biden administration over the types of weapons before giving his approval to the sale.
🔶️ Sen. Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, gave the green light after the sale went through the review process, a spokesman said.

"The Great Replacement in Maryland"
Before the passage of the 1965 immigration act the White population of Maryland had held an 80+% share of the overall populace. A share that had been modestly increasing in the post-war era.
The White population remained relatively stable even in the face of the Second Great Migration of African Americans into the North.
However, the Reagan Amnesty, the 1965 immigration act, and mass illegal immigration served to inundate the state with both legal and illegal immigrants.
Today European Whites are just 43.2% of Maryland's population.
The Asian population has increased from zero to 8.1% since the 1970s, the Hispanic population is roughly 12%, and the Black population continues to grow. Fueled by hundreds of thousands of Black immigrants.
These recent immigrants and their hundreds of thousands of children have, combined with internal migration, served to radically transform the Old Line State.
However, a coordinated policy suite to encourage and mandate repatriation could restore Maryland's White majority and open the possibility of strengthening it yet further.

🔶️ Mexico is the world’s largest producer of avocados — a staple in the diets of many Americans who love it on their toast, or made into guacamole, particularly during the Super Bowl. The United States imported a record 2.78 billion pounds of fresh avocados in 2023, with 89 percent of those imports coming from Mexico, according to the USDA.
🔶️ The State Department warns against travel to Michoacan “due to crime and kidnapping” — the same level of travel warning for five other Mexican states, including Sinaloa and Zacatecas.

🇺🇸 🇾🇪 💵 US Has Spent $1B on Houthi Attacks But Militants’ Arsenal Unfazed: Intel
🔶️ American warships have spent a great deal of munitions to intercept Houthi drones and missiles targeting civilian and military ships in retaliation for Israel’s war in Gaza.
🔶️ “Houthi stockpiles appear nowhere near exhausted, even as sporadic US and UK strikes against them continue,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank.
🔶️ The assessment is contrary to a previous statement by US Air Forces Central Commander Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who said the Iran-backed rebels appeared to be running low on drones and anti-ship ballistic missiles.
🔶️ Earlier this year, Pentagon undersecretary for acquisition William LaPlante hinted that the cost of countering Houthi attacks in the Red Sea was increasing.
🔶️ He said at a defense conference that efforts to take out hostile drones exceed $100,000 per shot.
🔶️ Even the Yemeni group had mocked its American adversary, saying Washington is launching $2 million defense missiles to stop $2,000 Houthi drones.
🔶️ Because of this, the US military is being urged to find alternative counter-attack solutions that only cost tens of thousands of dollars per shot.

An often overlooked aspect of mass migration are remittances.
More than €65 billion in remittances were transferred from the EU to non-White countries in 2022.
The United States lost $80 billion to remittances that same year.
While Switzerland saw some $32 billion flow out of its economy.
Migrants first arrive to Europe and other White countries and utilize public services paid for by Whites.
Then they take up jobs, forcing down White wages and Whites out of entire sectors of the workforce.
Then those earnings are taken and remitted abroad, permanently removed from White economies.
