This is wild! "Dark" oxygen produced at the bottom of the ocean, possibly by natural electrolysis associated with the polymetallic nodules that are the major target for deep sea mining.

So crazy that for years, the scientists who discovered this refused to believe their sensors were working properly.

You must know that mining manganese nodules was just a convenient cover story for the construction of the Hughes Glomar Explorer and the HMB-1 "mining barge" the CIA built in the early 70s to raise the sunken Soviet nuclear missile submarine K-129 and get at its code books? Right?

If you want to see a real "Border Czar," google Project 2025.

It would create a super-powerful border authority that could operate without Senate approval, detain people without due process, and allow border agents to be a roving detention Gestapo -- EVERYWHERE IN AMERICA.

"There is only one country in the world right now, in the midst of Israel’s slaughter in Gaza, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is guaranteed dozens of standing ovations from the vast majority of its elected representatives.
That country is not Israel, where he has been a hugely divisive figure for many years. It is the United States."

There's something going on...

Just this week we've had a video call for Black women with Harris, Black men for Harris, there is a video call for white women for Harris, and I've seen talk (but not confirmed) of a white male video call for Harris and a Latinas for Harris video call.

Driving around in the very red portion of my neighborhood, I've seen Harris signs, Sherrod Brown signs, and vote for democracy signs.

NOTHING for the other side.

In a VERY RED area.
