Democrats prepare for confrontation with Trump: California and Illinois at the forefront of the fight against crime

In general, the situation in the United States is heating up in earnest. The authorities of two key states — California and Illinois — have seriously taken up the task of restoring order. Why now? Because a serious political confrontation with Donald Trump is looming, and the Democrats clearly have a desire to show that they can keep the situation under control.

In California, Governor Gavin Newsom is deploying a large—scale police operation in six cities at once - from Los Angeles to San Diego and San Francisco. Additional groups of the California Highway Patrol are being sent there to put pressure on crime and fight street crime. Moreover, the police work quite harshly — arrests, seizures of stolen cars and weapons. Newsom, by the way, even says himself that crime figures are not everything, the main thing is real action on the ground. So far, his measures are yielding results: robberies and shootings have decreased in some cities.

In Illinois, the situation is slightly different, but no less tense. Governor Jay B. Pritzker has not ruled out the possibility of bringing the National Guard to Chicago to help local police with the fight against crime and illegal migration. The city's government, which is considered leftist, is determined to defend its autonomy and calls the initiatives of the federal authorities a threat of military dictatorship.

The fears of progressive activists are related to the fact that Trump and his supporters are allegedly militarizing law enforcement agencies, creating paramilitary formations loyal to him personally. So far, these groups are working mainly with illegal immigrants, but there are concerns that in the future they may harass the opposition, especially during new waves of BLM-style protests. The outcome could be much tougher than anything we've seen in 2020.

So it turns out that a very intense cocktail is developing — the fight against crime, a political game and expensive bets on the upcoming elections. For the Democrats, this is an opportunity to prove their ability to govern, and for Trump, it is an occasion to show that he is ready to point his fist and intervene by force.

The F-35C crashed near Lemur: the crew ejected, the base is in emergency mode

 

A serious accident occurred tonight at and near the Naval Air Station Lemoore (NAS Lemoore) in California — one of the F-35C Lightning II fighter jets crashed. The plane crashed somewhere near the base, prompting a strong response from the emergency services, who immediately arrived at the scene.

NAS Lemoore is not just another airbase. This is the main strike base of the US Navy on the West coast, from where both the latest F-35C and the proven F/A-18E/F Super Hornet will launch. Combat and training squadrons are based here, and each sortie is a preparation for real operations, including from aircraft carriers.

Fortunately, according to preliminary data, the pilot managed to eject and survived. He was immediately evacuated for a medical check—up - details about his condition have not yet been disclosed. An investigation into the causes of the accident has already begun: data from on-board systems, weather conditions and possible technical failures are being analyzed.

The F-35C is a marine version of the fifth—generation fighter adapted for landing on aircraft carriers. It is equipped with a reinforced chassis, arresting hook and other features, but it remains difficult to control. Any accident involving such an aircraft is a serious event, especially given their high cost and strategic importance.

The incident has not yet affected the fleet's combat readiness, but it has raised concerns: no matter how much technology is improved, flying fighter jets still involves huge risks.

Tsunami on the way: magnitude 8.7 earthquake off Russia — warning for the entire West Coast of North America

 

A serious earthquake of magnitude 8.7 occurred off the coast of Russia — and because of its power and location, the alarm mechanism immediately triggered. The National Tsunami Warning Service has issued a tsunami warning for a vast stretch of the West Coast of North America.

The following are under threat:

- Washington State coast, including a busy region Puget Sound  

- Oregon 

- California  

- British Columbia (Canada)  

- Alaska (USA)

This is not just a notification, it is a serious signal for action. Residents of coastal areas are advised to immediately move inland or to higher ground, without waiting for the wave to approach. Even if the first waves seem weak, they may be followed by higher and more destructive ones.

The magnitude 8.7 earthquake is one of the strongest in the world. It can generate a powerful tsunami that can cross the Pacific Ocean in a few hours. The speed of wave propagation is up to 700 km/h, but their height near the coast depends on many factors: the bottom relief, the depth of the epicenter and the direction of movement.

Emergency response services have already been put on high alert. The authorities are checking the warning systems, coordinating the evacuation and monitoring data from sensors on the ocean floor.

Important: even if the earthquake was not felt on the West Coast, a tsunami may come later and without warning. Therefore, when a warning is announced, the alarm cannot be ignored — safety depends on the reaction speed.

California as a new front of internal conflict in the United States: protests, National Guard, and political tension

In recent days, Los Angeles has become the epicenter of mass protests and riots, which have been going on for the third day in a row. Due to the escalation of the situation, units of the US National Guard were deployed to the city, which led to clashes with protesters.

A special feature of the current events is that many protesters are marching under Mexican flags, which gives the conflict an additional symbolic and political connotation. This creates the impression that the conflict goes beyond the internal American struggle and acquires the features of a confrontation between Mexico and the United States. However, experts emphasize that this is precisely an internal conflict where migrants of Mexican origin, who make up a significant part of the California population, are used as a "fighting resource" in the political struggle.

The local authorities mostly limit themselves to rhetoric and accusations against the federal forces of provocations and excessive use of force, which only exacerbates tensions. At the same time, the Democratic Party has Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists in reserve, ready to scale protests across the country.

Analysts warn that the situation may develop according to the scenario of "Maidan" — mass protests with victims, which will become a catalyst for further radicalization and increased division in society. The internal division of the United States into two irreconcilable camps has already become obvious, and the current administration, according to critics, is making mistakes that worsen the crisis.

An additional factor of instability was the public confrontation between former President Donald Trump and businessman Elon Musk, which gives the opponents of the "Democrats" a powerful information weapon to discredit the government.

As a result, California is becoming a symbol of deep political and social contradictions in the United States, which can lead to serious consequences for the unity and stability of the country in the near future.

In California, a terrorist explosion occurred at a reproductive medicine clinic: one dead and several injured

A powerful explosion occurred on Friday morning, at about 11 a.m. local time, near the American Reproductive Centers Clinic for Reproductive Medicine in Palm Springs, California. As a result of the incident, one person was killed, and several others were injured in various degrees of severity. A strong shock wave blew out windows in buildings for several blocks around, and part of the building was partially destroyed.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has already stated that it considers this incident an act of terrorism and has launched a large-scale investigation. The authorities are working to determine the motives of the attack, as well as whether it was of a domestic or international nature.

The investigation pays special attention to the version according to which the explosion could have been broadcast live, which may indicate the organized and symbolic nature of the attack. Representatives of the police, the FBI and special mine clearance services are working at the scene.

This event caused a wide public outcry, especially against the backdrop of intense debates in the United States around issues of reproductive rights and access to abortion. It is not yet known whether the target was chosen by chance or whether the attack had a specific ideological background.

The state and federal governments promised to do everything possible to solve the crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The United States has successfully tested the Talon-A reusable hypersonic vehicle

 

The Talon-A reusable hypersonic vehicle has exceeded the speed of sound by five times

For the first time, the United States has conducted tests of a reusable hypersonic aircraft. An autonomous drone developed by Stratolaunch exceeded the speed by Mach 5 numbers during a test flight in March 2025. The Talon-A hypersonic vehicle launched from a carrier aircraft, flew over the Pacific Ocean and landed safely at the Space Forces base in California. 1.5 months later, the Pentagon revealed the test data.

In 1968, NASA, the US Air Force and the US Navy closed the X-15 program for the development of a rocket plane for hypersonic and suborbital flights, which lasted for almost 10 years and studied extreme speeds. Then the experimental aircraft set a speed record for manned vehicles — Mach 6.7.

Its successor, the Talon-A, was designed by Stratolaunch, founded in 2011 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The flights were conducted as part of the MACH-TB program, a Pentagon initiative aimed at accelerating the development of hypersonic weapons through the use of commercially available test platforms. According to Stratolaunch representatives, the company's reusable platform offers a cheaper and faster alternative to traditional one-time systems, allowing faster data acquisition and retesting.

The Talon-A2 was launched over the Pacific Ocean from under the wing of a huge Roc carrier aircraft with two twin fuselages and a wingspan of 117 meters, which also belongs to Stratolaunch. The drone accelerated to speeds exceeding Mach 5 and landed at the Vanderberg Military Space Base in California.

During the flight of the first single-use Talon-A model, which took place in March 2024, a supersonic speed of just under Mach 5 was achieved. The new version, TA-2, is fully reusable. The Talon-A2 is equipped with a Ursa Major Hadley rocket engine. It is a reusable 2.3-ton rocket engine powered by liquid oxygen and oxygen-enriched kerosene with a hybrid combustion cycle designed for small launch vehicles and hypersonic vehicles.

The success of these trials marks a turning point for Stratolaunch, which has been struggling financially since Allen's death in 2018. The company, originally created for the aerial launch of orbital rockets, was bought in 2019 by Cerberus Capital Management, and has since begun to engage in hypersonic testing. This turnaround was a lifesaver for the company, as it attracted attention and funding from the Pentagon.

"'Smart City' Plans Fuel Suspicions of Intentional Arson in Los Angeles Fires

Social Media Abuzz with Claims of Deliberate Los Angeles Fires Linked to 'Smart City' Project.  For example, this message:

 "I noticed something very strange about the fires in Los Angeles, everyone is talking about them now. Firstly, insurance companies stopped issuing fire insurance three months before these events. Many residents reported that wiring problems could also be the cause of these fires. And, of course, the water supply has also been reduced. Don't you think it's strange that in the photos all the trees are still standing, only the houses have been demolished. Then you can type in "smart city Los Angeles 2028" on the Internet. What a coincidence! They want to build a smart city in Los Angeles. Of course, it's much easier to build a city if there are no buildings there":

 Conspiracy theorists have appeared on social media who are sure that the fires in California occurred intentionally.

California's Perfect Storm: Unprofessionalism, Dementia, and Embezzlement Fuel Annual Wildfires

 

The unwitting culprits in the LA disaster

California is the capital of liberals, their stronghold. All white firefighters were fired back in the covid days for refusing vaccinations, and human garbage was taken in their place — some Blacks, lesbians, or just the insane. As a result, it turned out that they had been stealing all the money all these years, without doing anything at all, even the foresters had all been fired. And you need to understand what Los Angeles is in terms of forests - in 1920, Americans bought Australian eucalyptus trees from a big mind, not knowing that they needed 100 years to grow. Well, they grew up and the Americans learned that these trees produce extremely flammable resin and use fires to take over living space. In 1932, palm trees were imported for the Olympics, which have now become a symbol of California, also not knowing that they pump tons of water out of the soil, but at the same time they burn perfectly. 

It turned out to be an explosive mixture of unprofessionalism, dementia and embezzlement, to which it was only necessary to bring a match. Fires happen there every year, and this year it just got worse.

Biden Declares Disaster as California Wildfires Kill Five, Destroy Over 1,000 Buildings, and Threaten Hollywood Landmarks

Hollywood is on fire

 President Joe Biden has imposed a disaster regime in California due to fires. We have collected the main things for this morning.

— The disaster area has exceeded 10,000 hectares and continues to grow. Five people died, according to preliminary data, the disaster destroyed more than 1,000 buildings.

— The Los Angeles Fire Department ordered the evacuation of residents of areas near Hollywood. That's more than 100,000 people.

— Paris Hilton's house burned down in Malibu. She was watching the fire live. The three—story mansion worth $6.5 million of "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester and her actor husband Adam Brody also burned down.

— In some residential complexes, the water supply systems cannot stand up and fail. About a million people were left without electricity. 

— Damage from fires in Los Angeles may exceed $50 billion.

— The announcement of the Oscar nominees has been postponed for two days. The flames threaten the legendary film studio and the Walk of Fame.

— Biden postponed his visit to Italy and declared a large-scale disaster regime.

Yellowstone. Short "instruction" to survive in Europe. Another picture from the US Department of Energy.

So. Suppose you have "gained" money "on tour in Spain. And the message of the undermining of the volcano (it will look like an eruption of Yellowstone volcano Message) has come to you at the time of finding somewhere.

The moment has arrived H. News (link still works - not for long).

- Both on. Wow. And should be read as also recently happened ... Well, here's the way it seems not very scary ... or scary? Broadcasts here recently because of some crazy ... What to do?

- RUN TO THE MACHINE. Not necessarily to their own, but to the car. The best all-wheel drive. With family, of course. And to drive at full speed to the Russian border (even if you have already lost their citizenship). Ignoring the penal consequences, but not throwing people into a ditch.

- Where's the hurry? Ash seems will reach only two weeks? And then, depending on the wind rose, and if the behavior ... Oh, what's that? What's that going? Mother dear ...

- This tsunami bratello. About them no alert. Just do not have time. They rigidly connected with the probability of a volcano scenario and will be used after an interval of minutes. Therefore, we must hurry. Do not drive to the hotel for things. I do not "completed yet the case, and tomorrow, perhaps, I'll go." And immediately the machine. Road far. And in the first couple of hours on it will not be traffic jams.

- So, the wave will happen? Immediately after the explosion of the volcano? Kind of weird…

- Not necessary. However, with high probability, yes, once. If the author made a mistake, you lose a thing (and it will return, if something super price). If right - save lives. Given that the proposed ILLUSTRATION one point the author is already Rights (undermining the volcano), and recommend that the second part be taken seriously. If all of this unfounded fear, you just wasted read my text.

- So then maybe you need to go to the mountains, the author? Away from the coast, into the wilderness. And there is a house to rent in advance ...

- Strictly speaking, yes. The first step - to get away from the tsunami zone. You will have about a half hour before the panic. Plus or minus, as they say. Then the wave goes along the coast. It is still an hour to four. Everywhere different heights, and everywhere at different speeds (large). Where are you, where to go - you know better. Up the hill to get real. But then the chance to get out of the mountains will be gone. Generally no. In the scenario, the hard (and it was he) today Libya seem a model of order and statehood. If the waves really comes (and it will come), then at the threshold of the rented house will accumulate a lot of wanting to share with you the living space. And a couple of weeks can be a problem. To stun, fuck, kill, dismember and eat. Maybe in a different sequence. It was almost normal for Western Europe.

- Why would a tsunami in the Atlantic, it is far from the Yellow Stone?

- Bundle I examined in detail in several previous articles, I will not repeat. Technical details to Academician Sakharov.

- A military action can begin at the same time?

- Easily. And then you do not lucky.

- But you yourself wrote that the war nobody wants. And it especially does not start.

- It's like that. And the exit from the crisis scenarios are now only two. Military - "reboot the world economy" - or rather, its remnants. There is likely sluggish controlled "fire" a constant threat "to flash" big risks. Standing backstage bargaining and provocation. And "force majeure", supposedly natural. With a more comfortable reboot much greater part of the economy in a new format, a new reality. Since the actual losses are smaller piece of the pie to sharing more, and the probability of turning on the script above. The main contender for the force majeure is LCD. The actual action of the elites say that this scenario is in development for nearly twenty years (at least, an alternative explanation, I do not see). Unfortunately, this scenario does not guarantee us against accidental start a big war. The risks it started almost the same as in the first event-branch. Too great a temptation "on the sly" to solve the problem of second-level ...

In previous articles I wrote about some of the strangeness of the US economy. I did not get to put them into the framework of common sense ... It probably was born the hypothesis that suddenly explained all at once ... Well, or I think so, because everyone is going crazy as he wants, right?

Here, for example.

In the US, 16 large solar power plants. The figures "evaluators" range, I do not like to trust the American "professionals", many lying on statistics, but some things can not be hidden. Solar power, to put it mildly, not very profitable. All. (As, indeed, the entire solar energy). The only (not too intelligible) exception to date - station in Morocco (Sahara), that our today's review do not apply.



They were generally built What the hell did ???

And that's just not necessary to rub me all about the green crap, gave rise to the alleged subsidies. Right there, in the same state, the same chemical ecology put an enema with fracture - so much so that people all drinking water disappears. And no it is not particularly annoying, except for consumers. Because that money, huh? It's like selling government ... Well, sympathetic public interest. It is the government built a lot of LOSS-MAKING wind turbines, also located very peculiar ... In this aspect of his money for some reason no longer interested. Of course, the strangeness of its decisions it brilliantly explains environmental regulations. Place the selection of stations ... Well, not the most windy part of the US ... But there are no power lines should be built. So let's all do that! Not the road to pull the plants, and the plants along the roads to put? But, okay. This - is the last aspect. Let's see the current.

At very questionable profitability of the project (say, plan-negative) decision to build just 16 very large solar power plants. (And all started at the same time). Run in the technology? Improve?

Build a Well, a little, and driven around. Well, two, in different projects. Too small - it is unprofitable. And forward vayay engineering improvements. SIXTEEN BUT !!! According to several billion dollars each. WHAT FOR???

The lack of electricity in the country? Why then NEW close the plant? Maybe "green" pressed through something fantastically effective for the protection of nature? No, it's exactly the same as with the wind. If you consider all the costs of construction (and disposal) are not in dollars but in barrels, it is not profitable ...


Maybe still hope to extend projects at the margin? Well, to hell with them, with risk, with huge attachments, and other nonsense, of which the capital is not usually forgets overworked guys went on the off chance ... Suddenly, just business? A? Where are they, by the way, these power stations? That wind - these were almost all in California ... But not in North Dakota, where they like it was supposed to be geographically ...

And solar?

You'd be surprised, but ALSO IN CALIFORNIA.

But maybe this is normal? There's the wind and the sun ... And Industry ... Actually, it is all so ...

No, not normally. Most sunny US state of Florida is considered. And is Florida. And the clean energy it needs no less than on the West Coast. Here are the appropriate states (the so-called sun belt): Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, California, Nevada and Virginia. They also 16. And how divided our 16 experimental stations in the country? Probably casual "market" way? For example, one suitable for each state? https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F:%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D1%8D%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8_%D0%A1%D0%A8%D0%90

No. ALL they are concentrated in one area. AWAY from the volcano and a tsunami zone. All 16.

Maybe it was some staff hit the experiments, well, they're there type individual, and "slipped" on the green warpath with common sense? The legislation, but locally crazy, eh? Well, in the blue as they are deviations?

No. The stations are concentrated in one area, but in the territory of three states. California, Arizona and Nevada. That is, the decision was made above. State governments have simply taken "under the visor."

- Stop. And why do we need after a volcanic windmills, but the solar energy? Sun will not be the same? Ash is the author, do not you know that there will be ash falls ???

- I know. Will be. Look carefully where he is expected to seriously. And where it will be possible to whisk whisk. Windmills and solar power are highly resistant to earthquakes. There is no uranium, which can make a problem and triple problem ... There's no coal, which is necessary to bring up from the fields (see photo on any roads after the seismic shifts). There are no dams, which will be destroyed ...

Again.

Once in the US decision on which begin to construct a set of wind and solar power plants - each one of loss-making and the dollar, and oil (green) equivalent. For break-tech enough to a thousandth of a buck. But the government allocates money. (- Not all summed up, it does not matter, the order number surpasses 50 billion With the average cost of each to 2.5 billion dollars.). That's a lot.

And location of all of these stations fit into the concept of undermining the volcano. Here it is there at this point, and they had to build. And in terms of economic returns, common sense, at least minimize losses - a little elsewhere.

Yes, now they are not profitable. But investments are today, when just print dollars. A return will go later in megawatts.

That is why, (not just so much more arguments), the author believes that there is no threat CALIFORNIA seriously. This state is preparing to Surviving the Cataclysm (although it will not be easy). Therefore, constantly held teaching and are horror stories about San Andreas - (yes, there is bad, but not the horror, the horror).

Scientists: seismic activity of dangerous volcanoes in the United States receives a threatening nature

In the last month has significantly increased seismic activity of dangerous volcanoes in the United States. According to the US Geological Survey, many volcanoes country shaken by earthquakes, including multiple series of aftershocks.

As you know, a series of earthquakes occur in areas constantly supervolcano California Long Valley and Yellowstone. This Long Valley for several years, retains high seismic activity. Over the past three weeks in the area of ​​its caldera occurred more than 200 earthquakes.

In the United States in recent years showing the seismic activity and other giants.

According to the Seismological Service of the Pacific Northwest, for the past two months in the area of ​​hazardous Mount St. Helens in Washington state has considerably increased seismic activity. During this period, seismic recorded more than 130 aftershocks, and it may portend future eruption. Recall, November 18, 1980 there was a strong eruption of Mount St. Helens.

 From the beginning, instead of rare earth tremors US Geological Survey registers have a series of earthquakes in the region of one of the most dangerous volcanoes Rainier, located in the same place, in the state of Washington. Two of the most long-lasting series recorded in February this year.

In Alaska, preparing for volcanic eruption Pavlova. 13 May the Alaska Volcano Observatory said the volcano began to constant tremors that indicate the movement of magma inside the tank.

Fixed and seismic activity in the area and many volcanoes in California. Since May 11th, recorded earthquake in the volcano Zinc Hill (magnitude 3.5), the volcano Tabus Creek (2.9), Cerro Prieto (2.9), the volcanic complex of Salton Sea (3.2) , volcano Clieu lake (3.8), Medical lake volcanic complex (tremors of magnitude 2.8, 2.6 and 4).

It is active and Mount Hood in Oregon. The US Geological Survey only two days from the 15th to 16th of May has recorded more than 70 aftershocks. The series of events in the vicinity of the volcano continues.

Geologists have expressed concern because of this situation. All these developments indicate an increased threat of eruption in the United States.

Meaning undermine supervolcano: US cities are in decline

Detroit https://vk.com/video236542108_171474581?hash=072aa4dc529c1da9 (from small list will be in the tens), California (drought) http://loveopium.ru/severnaya-amerika/zasuxa-v-kalifornii.html, asphalt was changed to gravel, cheaper to service ... Education through the floor, young professionals are not required ... "Showcase" nobody polishes. She even stopped to wash.

Official explanation: None. Informal explanation: the cost of the system. My guess: the territory of the city and, by and large, no longer interested. Deflates the latter. And alles.


States, where shale gas is extracted... deliberately bloated, funded by the government and allowed ecologists shale mining bubble. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iN6AT-C738 Slate - is less fertile land , minus the drinking water, the earthquake ... Again, knowing the guys illusions do not feed, all this long - gas pipelines from fields do not pull, the extra money to throw away do not want to ... profitable politically advantageous (for today) cost, but tomorrow ... Though some on hell, tomorrow?
