  1. A quotation from John Kennedy

       But I tell you the New Frontier is here, whether we seek it or not. Beyond that frontier are the uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered pockets of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus. It would be easier to shrink back from that frontier, to look to the safe mediocrity of the past, to be lulled by good intentions and high rhetoric — and those who prefer that course should not cast their votes for me, regardless of party.
       But I believe the times demand new invention, innovation, imagination, decision. I am asking each of you to be pioneers on that New Frontier. My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age — to all who respond to the Scriptural call: “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.”
       For courage — not complacency — is our need today — leadership — not salesmanship. And the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead, and lead vigorously.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) American politician, author, journalist, US President (1961–63)
    Speech (1960-07-15), “The New Frontier,” Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, Democratic National Convention, Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles

  3. A quotation from John Kennedy

    Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom promised our nation a new political and economic framework. Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal promised security and succor to those in need. But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises — it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook — it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.

  6. Congress is broken — and the proof is in the timestamps. Senators are routinely voting past 3 a.m., half-asleep, on issues that affect millions of Americans. Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer calls it flatly: "The dysfunction is getting worse." In March, the Senate passed a DHS funding bill at 2 a.m. — only for House members who were literally asleep to wake up and reject it. The department remains unfunded. Leaders are governing by exhaustion, forcing votes in the dead of night to override objections. This isn't democracy — it's survival mode. apnews.com/article/congress-ho

  8. Interaktive WMO-Grafik zum Energieungleichgewicht der Erde

    Gestern ist State of the Climate 2025 (2026) erschienen, der Bericht der World Meteorological Association über den Zustand des Klimas. Kern des Berichts sind knappe Darstellungen der Entwicklung von Schlüsselindikatoren wie der durchschnittlichen Oberflächentemperatur der Erde. In diesem Bericht ist ein wichtiger Schlüsselindikator zum ersten Mal enthalten: das Energieungleichgewicht der Erde, englisch: Earth’s Energy Imbalance. Der Wert dieses Indikators ist der Unterschied zwischen der Strahlungsenergie, die die Erde von der Sonne erreicht, und der wieder abgestrahlten Energie. Treibhausgase in der Atmosphäre und z.T. von ihnen ausgelöste Effekte sorgen schon lange dafür, dass die Erde weniger Energie abstrahlt, als sie aufnimmt. Die zusätzliche Energie wird als Wärme gespeichert, zum größten Teil in den Ozeanen. Hier eine interaktive Darstellung Earth’s Energy Imbalance von dem auf der WMO-Website verlinkten Dashboard mit Key Climate Indicators: […]

    There is no doubt that republicans have some really, really, really stupid people representing them , John Kennedy is one of them , David Bier obliterated his argument about mass deportation of this administration not being “ ethnic cleansing “, also Kennedy doesn’t know that “ BlueSky “ is pronounced “ Blue Sky” , Kennedy pronounced it “ Blue Ski “, you can watch it in the video in the article.

    Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.

    #MAGA senator slams illegal immigrants as 'criminals' — then steps in to free ICE detainee

    Jennifer Bowers Bahney

    "MAGA Sen. #JohnKennedy (R-LA), who has been a fervent supporter of Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to deport undocumented migrants, reversed course when it came to one of his constituents, according to The New York Times.

    "Kennedy told Fox News on July 17, 'If you’re in our country illegally, you’re a criminal. Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.'

    "And yet, the senator's office recently asked the Department of Homeland Security to release 25-year-old #PaolaClouatre after two months in a #Louisiana #DetentionCenter, the report said.

    "Clouatre is a Mexican citizen and mother of two young children who is married to a U.S. #MarineCorps #veteran.

    " 'In an email on Tuesday morning, Christy Tate, the constituent services representative in Mr. Kennedy’s office, wrote to Mr. Clouatre to confirm that his wife had been released from ICE custody after her office had made a formal request to the federal agency,' the report said.

    "The email read in part, 'I am so happy for you and your family. We will continue to keep you, your family and others that are experiencing the same issues in our prayers.' [Because of you, Mr. Kennedy!!!]

    "Reporter Pooja Salhotra wrote that Clouatre came to the United States as a teenager 'to seek asylum with her mother and brother.' After her mother failed to show up for a court hearing in California in 2018, a judge issued a deportation order against the teen.

    "Now estranged from her mother, Clouatre said she didn't learn of the deportation order until earlier this year 'when she was already in the process of applying for a #greencard, the report said.

    "She was detained by ICE agents on May 27 shortly after giving birth, and while attending a 'routine appointment in New Orleans related to her application for a green card and #PermanentResident status,' according to the report.

    "During her incarceration, Clouatre's husband brought the couple's 9-week-old baby to the jail so she could breastfeed. [How Christian of them!] She is currently wearing an ankle monitor and awaiting a court date for her immigration proceedings."

    The “Big, Beautiful Bill” makes cuts to numerous federal assistance programs and incentives, which will be especially impactful in a state as federally-dependent as Louisiana.
