What are the biggest bottom line effects if this were to happen? Power grid, I think, and what else? Can anyone elaborate?
It is not that I am unaware of the possible cataclysmic effects of the CMEs, perhaps I was looking for a shorter term prediction of effects...maybe there isn't one.

I hope someone will step up and agree to take on the task of updating it every day.

California mocked over high-speed rail bridge to nowhere

Fresno River ViaductA California agency is getting ripped for celebrating this high speed rail bridge — part of an $11 billion project that is reportedly in danger of being canceled.

California is taking of heat for celebrating the completion of an high-speed rail bridge that clearly goes nowhere — part of an $100 billion boondoggle project.

Critics — including Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dogecoin creator Billy Markus — are ripping the California High Speed Rail Authority after it boasted about the completion of a "Fresno River Viaduct," a mere sliver of the state's long-delayed, bullet-train project attempting to link San Francisco to Los Angeles


"This is the most remarkable human achievement ever," joked Markus, the creator of the jokey cryptocurrency, on X Friday.


"1600 feet of high speed rail after 9 years and 11 billion dollars it takes about 5 minutes to walk 1600 feet so a high speed rail for that is a really big deal," added Markus, who also goes by "Shibetoshi Nakamoto."

Although reported estimates to complete the rail line will cost taxpayers about $100 billion, Markus fired back, quipping: "wow so impressive, can't wait until year 2400 for this to finish for 700 quadrillion dollars.


"0.3 miles completed. After 15 years. After $11.2 BILLION. $36.96 billion per mile," he wrote on X.

Mount Ibu in eastern Indonesia erupted on Monday.

strangesounds

Mount Ibu, located on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku province, erupted at 11:11 am local time (0211 GMT) and sent a thick column of dark smoke and ash above the peak.

The volcano spewed an ash tower 1.5 kilometres (0.93 miles) above the peak, Indonesia’s volcanology agency (PVMBG) said.

“Based on the results of visual and instrumental monitoring… Mount Ibu’s activity level has been raised from level two to level three” of a four-tiered system, said PVMBG chief Hendra Gunawan in a statement Wednesday.

Authorities formed an exclusion zone between three and five kilometres around the volcano’s crater.

According to Zero Hedge, half an hour ago:

Slovakia’s populist prime minister Robert Fico has been shot, according to breaking news reports, after which he was rushed to the hospital and appears to be alive according to early reports. But some reports have listed his condition as "very serious" and that he had to be airlifted.

Apparently this comes only days after his public rejection of the Global Pandemic Treaty.

Biden Challenges Trump to Two Debates Before November Election

President Joe Biden has challenged former President Donald Trump to two debates before November's general election.

"Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then, he hasn't shown up for a debate," Biden said in a video released on Wednesday. "Now, he is acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I'll even do it twice. ... I hear you're free on Wednesdays."

In addition to the video, Jen O'Malley Dillon, the Biden campaign chairwoman, sent the Commission on Presidential Debates a letter advising members the president would not be taking part in their events, and outlining its proposed timeline of June and September for the debates.

"The Biden-Harris campaign is proposing that the first debate be in late June, after Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial is likely to be over and after President Biden returns from meeting with world leaders at the G7 Summit," Biden communications director Michael Tyler told reporters Wednesday, outlining the reasoning behind the proposed dates. "A second presidential debate would occur in September prior to the beginning of early voting. We also propose a vice presidential debate to occur in late July after the Republicans nominate their vice presidential candidate under the same parameters we outline below."

The Trump campaign quickly jumped on Biden's announcement. Trump campaign senior adviser Steven Cheung called the video announcement a "total disaster."

"In a super short 14 second video, the Biden campaign needed to do 5 jump cuts because Crooked Joe couldn't deliver a clean reading. Total disaster," Cheung posted in X.

@HansMahncke
The *only* reason that the Biden camp has agreed to do this very early debate in June is to preempt Biden being replaced by the DNC. The fact that they’re so desperate to lock in a Biden vs Trump race also tells you how much pressure there is behind the scenes to replace Biden.

Trump is Disoriented Too
No doubt Biden will come out the loser since even the drugs they pump him up with don't cover up all the problems.
But Trump is fighting the same battle with dementia though he's not as far gone as Biden (it's not surprising considering all the attacks he has been undergoing).
When will the public get it that we need younger and more fit people in positions of leadership?
The stress and challenges today are just too intense for most people 60 and over.
If RFK were allowed to debate as well, I think the difference would be quite evident--he's not only younger, but he's a lot more fit, and conscientious about being so.

(I put this here because the "Trump is not the Answer" thread is becoming somewhat redundant. )

JUST IN: Meteor spotted in the skies over Spain and Portugal.

This is insane.

Early reports claim that the blue flash could be seen darting through the night sky for hundreds of kilometers.

At the moment, it has not been confirmed if it hit the Earth’s surface however some reports say it may have fallen near the town of Castro Daire.

Other reports say it was closer to Pinheiro.
