Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an Executive Order on Elections on August 7, 2024.  On October 11, 2024, the Department of Justice chose to sue Governor Youngkin on his Executive Order and…

The economy is the number one political issue in America right now, and it isn’t because the economy is doing well.  The long-term economic collapse that I have been writing about for years is playing out right in front of our eyes, and it is going to have an enormous impact on the outcome of this election.  But don’t just take my word for it.  Survey after survey has shown that U.S. voters are extremely concerned about the direction that the economy is heading.  For example, the following comes from a Gallup survey that was released earlier this month… The economy ranks as the most important of 22 issues that U.S. registered voters say will influence their choice for president. It is the only issue on which a majority of voters, 52%, say the candidates’ positions on it are an “extremely important” influence on their vote. Another 38% of voters rate the economy as “very important,” which means the issue could be a significant factor to nine in 10 voters. Voters view Donald Trump as better able than Kamala Harris to handle the economy, 54% versus 45%. Trump also has an edge on perceptions of his handling of immigration (+9 percentage points) and foreign affairs (+5), while Harris is seen as better on climate change (+26), abortion (+16) and healthcare (+10). The candidates are evenly matched on voters’ impressions of who would better address gun policy. Countless other surveys have told us the same thing. The American people remember what life was like before the pandemic, and they desperately want to have that back. In particular, U.S. voters have become deeply frustrated with the cost of living… “It’s inflation, stupid!” wrote Bernard Yaros, U.S. lead economist at Oxford Economics, in an October 24 report, borrowing from political strategist James Carville’s famous coinage. “Inflation is the foremost issue voters are concerned about, and how it is perceived will determine the election.” The Biden administration is being blamed for this inflation crisis, and that is going to cost Kamala Harris millions upon millions of votes. At this moment, demand at food banks is off the charts in many of the key swing states that Harris desperately needs to win. In Pennsylvania, we are being told that demand “is actually as high as it was at the peak of the pandemic”… Joe Arthur, who runs the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, told NBC News the current problem is “a hunger crisis.” “The need that we’re seeing in our localities is actually as high as it was at the peak of the pandemic, yet there are less resources for those families today.” At one food bank in Michigan, demand is actually “significantly higher” than it was during the pandemic… One truck can carry enough food for up to 600 households, but some days even that isn’t enough to meet the demand, which has gone up by 18% over the past 12 months, said Ken Estelle, president of Feeding America West Michigan. “We have never seen this level of need in the 43 years we have been serving this community. It is significantly higher than during Covid and has pressed us beyond our capacity,” said Estelle. “We’ve just seen this drumbeat increase every month of more people and more people.” And at one food bank in Wisconsin, demand has more than doubled since 2022… In the relatively affluent Milwaukee suburbs of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Rochelle Gamauf said each week she is seeing new faces at her food pantry, Friends With Food, which she started during the pandemic. The organization has gone from giving out around 420,000 pounds of food in 2022 to over a million pounds in 2023. On a recent week in September, nearly 400 families came through the door, 48 of whom were coming for the first time — a 50% increase in new families compared to last year, she said. This is the biggest reason why Donald Trump is leading in the polls in all three states. A lot of the people that are going to these food banks actually have jobs. But they aren’t earning enough to keep up with the rapidly rising cost of living. If you go to the grocery store and you completely fill up your cart with food, it is going to cost you hundreds of dollars. 25 years ago, I could fill up an entire grocery cart for less than 50 bucks. Inflation is a hidden tax on all of us, and it is suffocating millions upon millions of households all over the country. Of course the Biden administration insists that everything is just fine. For months, the government has been releasing numbers that look great initially, but later they are revised dramatically lower. Let me give you an example.  Last month we were told that job openings were rising, but now we have learned that they are actually plunging… Last month, when Kamala Harris still had some chance of winning the election, we were not surprised to learn that according to the extremely political Bureau of Labor Statistics, in August the number of job openings unexpectedly soared from an upward revised 7.7 million to 8.040 million, which was not only a 3-sigma beat to expectations, but was also above the highest Wall Street forecast. Fast forward to today, when Kamala’s chance of winning are effectively zero – as even the suddenly apolitical Jeff Bezos now admits – and shockingly moments ago the BLS reported that in September, the number of job openings  plunged from over 8 million to just 7.4 million, the lowest since early 2021… This kind of thing has been happening over and over again. The American people are sick and tired of being fed fake numbers when they can see that economic conditions are clearly deteriorating all around them. Our standard of living has been steadily declining for years, and most Americans are just barely scraping by at this point. I am entirely convinced that most of the experts will be completely shocked by the outcome of this election, and our imploding economy will be the number one reason why so many unexpected voters come out of the woodwork.

The Solar System’s hundreds of moons are like puzzle pieces. Together, they make a picture of all the forces that can create and modify them and the forces that shape our Solar System. One of them is Miranda, one of 28 known moons that orbit the ice giant Uranus. Miranda is its smallest major moon, at 471 km in diameter. New research shows that this relatively small, distant moon may be hiding something: a subsurface ocean. Miranda stands out from the other moons for one reason: its surface is a bizarre patchwork of jumbled terrain. There are cratered areas, rough scarps, and grooved regions. It may have the tallest cliff in the Solar System, a 20 km drop named Verona Rupes. Many researchers think its surface is deformed by tidal heating from gravitational interactions with some of the Uranus’ other moons. New research in The Planetary Journal set out to explain Miranda’s jumbled geology. It’s titled “Constraining Ocean and Ice Shell Thickness on Miranda from Surface Geological Structures and Stress Modeling.” The lead author is Caleb Strom, a graduate student at the University of North Dakota. “To find evidence of an ocean inside a small object like Miranda is incredibly surprising,”Tom Nordheim, co-author and planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Scientists don’t have much to go on when it comes to Miranda. The only spacecraft to image it was Voyager 2 in 1986. Even then, the flyby was brief, and the spacecraft only imaged the moon’s southern hemisphere. But that was enough to reveal the moon’s bizarre and complex geological surface features. Miranda’s strange surface coronae attracted a lot of attention. This figure from the study shows some of Miranda’s surface features. The moon is known for its coronae features, two of which are labelled here. Image Credit: Strom et al. 2024. When the images were first received, scientists were baffled by Miranda’s complexity. Some called it a “patchwork planet,” and there was much healthy speculation about what created it. Attempts to understand the moon are still limited by the amount of data that Voyager 2 provided. However, modern scientists have access to a more powerful tool than scientists did in the 80s: computer models and simulations. Strom and his co-researchers used a computer model to work backward from Miranda’s current surface. They started by mapping Miranda’s surface features, including its cracks, ridges, and unique trapezoidal coronae, and then reverse-engineered it. They tested different models of the moon’s interior to see what could account for the varied surface. This simple schematic shows the four-layer model Strom and his co-researchers worked with. Image Credit: Strom et al. 2024. The model that best matched the surface was one where Miranda had a vast ocean under its surface some 100-500 million years ago. The icy crust is probably 30 km thick or less, and the ocean could be up to 100 km thick. “Our results show that a thin crust (?30 km) is most likely to result in sufficient stress magnitude to cause brittle failure of ice on Miranda’s surface,” the authors explain in their research. “Our results also suggest the plausible existence of a ?100 km thick ocean on Miranda within the last 100–500 million yr.” “To find evidence of an ocean inside a small object like Miranda is incredibly surprising,” said Tom Nordheim, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, a study co-author, and the principal investigator on the project that funded the study. “It helps build on the story that some of these moons at Uranus may be really interesting — that there may be several ocean worlds around one of the most distant planets in our solar system, which is both exciting and bizarre.” Tidal heating is responsible for this, and it came from gravitational relationships between Miranda and Uranus’ other moons. Moons tug on each other, and when they’re in an orbital resonance with one another, where each moon’s period around a planet is an exact integer of the others’ periods, those tugs are amplified. These forces can periodically deform the moons, and as they’re squeezed, they heat up, keeping subsurface oceans warm and liquid. Miranda and other moons of Uranus were likely in resonance in the past, which could’ve created surface fractures and related terrain. A digital elevation model (DEM) of Miranda’s Inverness Coronae. The relative elevation ranges from 0 km (purple) to 4 km (red). Image Credit: Beddingfield et al. 2022. However, resonances don’t last forever, and the researchers think that some time ago, Miranda left orbital resonance, and its interior began to cool. They don’t think it’s completely cooled yet because if the ocean had completely frozen, it would’ve expanded and displayed telltale surface cracks. So, the interior ocean likely still exists but is probably much thinner than in the past. “But the suggestion of an ocean inside one of the most distant moons in the solar system is remarkable,” Strom said. Nobody predicted that Miranda would have an ocean. As far as scientists could tell, it was a frozen ball. But they’ve been wrong about moons before. Researchers used to think that Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, the most reflective object in the Solar System, was just a ball of ice. After all, its surface is smooth and clearly frozen solid. However, the Cassini mission showed us that it may not be totally frozen. There’s a bevy of evidence that Enceladus has a warm ocean under a layer of ice. This false-colour image of the plumes erupting from Enceladus is easily recognizable to many. Enceladus and Miranda are similar in important ways. Could Miranda also be geologically active? Image Credit: NASA/ESA “Few scientists expected Enceladus to be geologically active,” said co-author Alex Patthoff. “However, it’s shooting water vapour and ice out of its southern hemisphere as we speak.” Since both Enceladus and Miranda are roughly the same size and may have similar ice shells, it increases the chances that Miranda also has an ocean. Other moons, like Saturn’s Europa, may also be icy ocean moons. Now, scientists think these moons and their warm oceans are the best targets in the search for life in our Solar System. Other recent research suggests that Miranda could be more like Enceladus than thought. One 2023 study showed that the moon may be releasing material into space like Enceladus does. The ESA and NASA are both sending probes to Jupiter to study Europa and other potential ocean moons. Should we expand that search to distant Uranus and its small moon Miranda? An artist’s impression of Uranus and its five largest moons (innermost to outermost): Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. A 2023 paper showed that Ariel and/or Miranda could be releasing material into space. Image Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Mike Yakovlev “We won’t know for sure that it even has an ocean until we go back and collect more data,” said study co-author Nordheim. “We’re squeezing the last bit of science we can from Voyager 2’s images. For now, we’re excited by the possibilities and eager to return to study Uranus and its potential ocean moons in depth.” For now, all we have is decades-old Voyager 2 data. However, the data and the computer models the team employed shed new light on Miranda. “We interpret the tidal stress model results to indicate that at some point in Miranda’s geologic past, it experienced an intense heating event that resulted in a thin crust (?30 km). Such a thin crust would also have resulted in a ?100 km thick ocean to account for the molten part of the hydrosphere. This thin ice crust and thick ocean could have allowed for intense tidal stress leading to significant geologic deformation in the form of brittle deformation at Miranda’s surface,” the authors explain. “In conclusion, our results suggest that Miranda could have had a subsurface ocean in the geologically recent past from an intense heat pulse, consistent with dynamical modelling results of previous studies,” they conclude.
