, I've got something you're really going to disagree with later. Wait for that. According to Newsmax, Ray Lewis says 21 Soros-linked DAs have been replaced by tough-on-crime prosecutors since 2022. And my first question was, if 21 Soros-linked DAs — Soros-linked means he probably was a big part of their funding for their campaign, may have even selected them — how many are left? You know I always…

anything. So this is where I don't actually know anything. Is 21 most of them, or is 21 just the start? So this is either really, really good news or it's almost nothing. Does anybody know what it is? I think it's a lot of them. Yeah, I think it might be the majority of them. And some were replaced by soft-on-crime, just other non-Soros people, but they might be equally soft on crime. So I don't have a good picture of this. But I know that the Soros-linked DA in my area got replaced. Pam Price, I think was her name. So I'm happy about that. All right, that seems like a move in the right direction.

According to a Hoodline article by Sandra Hernandez, there's some kind of a genetic booster gene that has been found that might make your plants grow way faster, like double, twice as fast or twice as big. And it's not fully realized yet, but they've got a pretty good idea that they can make your plants twice as good. And the question that this asks for me is, well, of course people reject anything that looks like it's unnatural, so you've got that problem. But at what point could you make indoor farming economical if you could make a plant grow really fast and really thick and have lots of food in it and taste good and all that? Does that make indoor farming — like if you doubled the amount of food you could produce in the same pot — I feel like that gets pretty close to making indoor farming work economically. So maybe that's the big story. Who knows?

Meanwhile, in battery technology, there's something called a proton battery. So according to the University of New South Wales, I guess they're working on this. And I don't know how you store a proton and turn it into electricity, but the idea is that lithium is not the ideal battery type for the big industrial network kind of batteries. Might work great in your car and in your drone, the lithium batteries. But if you want to have

a big one that's for your whole network to provide electricity to buildings, then you might not want lithium. And so some of these other storage technologies might be the way to go. So maybe there'll be a proton battery in your network coming up. So I guess Biden is doing all this Trump-proofing of government, trying to spend all their money and tie Trump up in ways that he can't reverse it when…
