Take, take, take
[Verse 1]
You talk a lot but say so little
Always looking for a riddle
Big opinions, empty head
Same old nonsense, nothing said
Push your luck and cross the line
Think you’re clever every time
But I’ve had enough of your tricks
I’m done dealing with your antics

Always stirring up the trouble
Making mountains out of rubble
Never listening, never wrong
How’d you keep this up so long?
You can take your little show
Find another place to go
I’m not buying what you sell
Keep your drama to yourself
[Refrain]

About the Song
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? November’s Severe Weather Says Plenty
Me? Wow. Did you see that?
It was slightly severe here. I’ve never experienced thunderstorms in November quite like these.
What happened around me was on an entirely different scale.
About 15 miles southwest, in Delaware, a massive rotating circulation appeared to resemble a tornado.
Then, in virtually every direction, stretching across dozens of miles from Lancaster County to Central New Jersey, enormous hailstorms erupted.
Bizarre doesn’t begin to describe it.
Here’s a picture from 6 ABC Action News:
“No, it’s not snow! Massive piles of hail blanketed parts of Parkside Borough in Delaware County on Thursday.”
* A November Severe Weather Outbreak *
Thursday, November 12, 2026, brought an extraordinary late-autumn severe weather outbreak across the Greater Philadelphia region, Delaware, and New Jersey.
This storm system developed as a complex area of low pressure moved north from Virginia. Rapid intensification produced an unusually unstable atmosphere, generating powerful thunderstorms before a dramatic transition to much colder, winter-like conditions.
What followed was one of the most unusual November weather events many residents in the region have experienced.
Confirmed Tornadoes in Delaware and New Jersey
The massive circulation southwest of my location was not simply an optical illusion. Reports from the region described confirmed tornado activity.
* New Castle County, Delaware: Around 1:15–1:30 p.m., a tornado reportedly touched down near Christiana. Video captured the circulation near Chapman Road and Eagle Run Road. The storm crossed I-95 and overturned a tractor-trailer.
* Burlington County, New Jersey: Later in the afternoon, another tornado was reported across the Delaware River, accompanied by funnel-cloud sightings near Pedricktown.
Snow-Like Hail Blankets Delaware County
The photographs and video from 6 ABC Action News captured some of the most extraordinary scenes of the day.
* Parkside Borough and Aston: Slow-moving thunderstorms dumped enormous quantities of hail, with some stones reaching approximately 1.25 inches in diameter.
* Road closures and snowplows: Hail accumulated so deeply along Edgmont Avenue and Route 352 in Parkside that police closed sections of roadway. Pickup trucks became stranded in drifts that looked remarkably like a midwinter snowstorm. Road crews brought out shovels and plows to clear the accumulated ice.
This wasn’t snow. It was hail, accumulating faster than the roads could be cleared.
Widespread Regional Impacts and Flooding
The storm system extended across a broad area, from central Pennsylvania through the Delaware Valley and into New Jersey.
Flash flooding and rescues: Slow-moving downpours triggered flash flood warnings across Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, and Montgomery counties. Drivers became trapped in rapidly rising floodwaters, prompting water rescues.
Widespread hail: Severe thunderstorm warnings tracked large hail across Bucks and Montgomery counties, extending into Camden, Gloucester, and Burlington counties in New Jersey.
The Bigger Picture: Climate Energy Redistribution
What makes this event particularly remarkable is its timing.
November is supposed to be a transition into winter, not a repeat of summer’s most violent thunderstorms. Yet the atmosphere produced powerful rotating storms, tornadoes, widespread hail accumulation, and flash flooding across a substantial region.
Individual weather events are not, by themselves, proof of climate change. But the atmosphere operates within a climate system that is accumulating excess energy.
As the oceans absorb more than 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases, that energy influences atmospheric circulation, moisture availability, instability, and the intensity of precipitation.
This is what climate energy redistribution looks like when it intersects with everyday life.
You don’t have to travel to Antarctica, watch melting glaciers, or study ocean temperatures to experience the consequences of an increasingly energetic climate system.
Sometimes, all you have to do is look outside your window. So, how is climate energy hitting you?
Me? Wow. Did you see that?
🌩️ HAILSTORMS — THE RISING COST OF EXTREME WEATHER AND INSURANCE
Hail isn’t just frozen rain. It’s a delivery system for destructive kinetic energy!
As hailstones grow larger, their mass and impact energy increase dramatically. And there’s an important physics lesson behind the damage:
KE = ½mv²
Double the impact velocity and you quadruple the kinetic energy!
The consequences are showing up everywhere:
🚗 AUTOMOBILES: Hailstorms are generating billions of dollars in vehicle damage, making hail one of the largest sources of comprehensive auto insurance claims.
🏠 HOMES: Damaged roofs, shattered skylights, broken windows, and destroyed solar panels are driving up repair costs and insurance deductibles.
🌾 AGRICULTURE: Hail can destroy an entire season’s crops in minutes.
💰 INSURANCE: U.S. insured losses from severe convective storms exceeded $50 billion annually in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
And then came November 12, 2026!
Across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, extraordinary thunderstorms dumped so much hail that streets in Parkside Borough, Delaware County, looked like they were buried under snow. Road crews actually brought out snowplows to clear the ice. Vehicles were stranded, and streets were closed.
This wasn’t snow. It was hail!
Our paper explores the physics behind hail’s destructive potential, the changing dynamics of severe storms, and the growing connection between climate risk and financial risk.
The progression is clear:
Atmospheric warming → More damaging storm environments → Greater hail impacts → Billions in property losses → Higher insurance premiums.
The weather is changing. The damage is getting more expensive. And we’re all paying for it.

What’s that rumbling?
(Off in the distance…)
What’s that flashing?
(No coincidence!)
November skies…
(An unusual sight!)
Hear it coming…
(Feel the might!)
[Verse 1]
The leaves have fallen, the nights are cold
But the atmosphere has a different hold
A flash of lightning across the sky
A rumble rolling, and the questions fly
Thunder in November, what a surprise
Storm clouds gathering in autumn skies
The seasons shifting, the patterns rearrange
The weather’s telling us something’s changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Warmer air
(Meets colder air)
More energy
(Collecting there)
The ingredients
(Are coming together)
An unusual storm
(In unusual weather)

November thunder
(Does it make you wonder?)
How we got here

[Verse 2]
It’s not just one storm, one flash, one day
It’s the changing patterns along the way
A warmer atmosphere hold more moisture
And warmer oceans add more fuel to the picture
When cold fronts meet that warmer air
Instability can build up there
The seasons shift, the odds rearrange
And weather records reflect the change
[Pre-Chorus]
More heat
(More moisture)
More energy
(For the storm to foster)
The calendar says
(November’s here)
But the atmosphere

A winter coat and a lightning flash
A summer sound in an autumn clash
The forecast says it’s getting strange
But there’s a science behind the change
… the long-term trend is plain to see
A warming world changes probability
Thunder in winter?
(Weird for sure)
Lightning in fall?
(That’s not all!)
Warm air rising?
(Cold air sliding!)
Weather extremes?
(Keep on climbing!)
One storm?
(Not the whole story!)
Long-term change?
(That’s the category!)
Boom!
(There it goes!)
Flash!

The House says no
Not this time around
But every little secret
Makes a bigger sound
One domino falls
Then another one goes
From the Pentagon

Trump’s in danger
The pressure gets higher
One little spark
Did ignite the fire
Domino!
(Domino!)
Watch the pieces fall!
Jenga!
(Jenga!)
Who’s holding up the wall?
Nvidia!

Who’s pulling the strings?
A tiny little block
Can topple everything!
One more scandal
One more lie

And who’s that little block
At the bottom of the stack?

[Verse 4]
Impeachment on the table
Accountability denied
But the truth keeps climbing
And there’s nowhere left to hide
The higher that they build it
The harder it will fall
You can’t protect the tower
When the blocks are gone and all!
[Final Refrain]
He’s the:
(Secretary of War)
Crimes!
(Blood and gore)
History’s keeping score!
No, there’s no maybe’s

Does his brain have gray matter?
Secretary!
(Of WAR Crimes!)
Secretary!
(Of WAR Crimes!)
[Outro]
US House blocks bid to impeach Secretary of WAR Pete Hegseth, for now
“For now” is the key phrase. The problem is that Hegseth’s war crimes are directly connected to Trump.
About the Song
US House blocks bid to impeach Secretary of WAR Pete Hegseth, for now
“For now” is the key phrase. The problem is that Hegseth’s war crimes are directly connected to Trump. If Republicans impeach Hegseth, the dominoes will fall directly toward the Oval Office.
But the compounding Nvidia, Jensen Huang, and Chinese sex-spy scandal adds another dimension. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is another domino lining up to fall toward Trump. He also knew about the Chinese sex-spy scandal, adding yet another layer to an increasingly unstable political tower.
This is no longer just a game of dominoes; it’s becoming a game of Jenga. Every falling domino adds pressure to an increasingly unstable tower, amplifying the consequences of each successive revelation. The amplification is building, and eventually the whole thing comes crashing down!
* Note: When it comes to the economy, Huang’s wife may be the tiny Jenga block at the bottom holding the entire tower together. Remove that piece, and the economic consequences could extend far beyond the political scandal.
When it comes to subpoenas and hearings, investigators are likely to start with the smaller dominoes—the people who can’t afford a $1,200-an-hour lawyer. They’re also bypassing the old-school approach of starting with a friendly letter, waiting for a response, and dragging things out for months. The smaller players are expected to be subpoenaed rapidly. Once they start falling, the bigger pieces may not have much time to react.
**Dominoes trigger the cascade. Jenga brings down the tower. And the higher the tower, the bigger the crash.**
Keep your eyes open…
(Watch your back!)
Something’s going on…
(We’re under attack!)
Who’s in the room?
(Who’s got the keys?)
And who’s collecting…
(… pocketing fees?)
[Verse 1]
A soldier arrested on foreign ground
Counter-terror police closing in around
All roads pointing east to Russia
… and our commander in chief… ahh… yeah.
A senior officer, a secret affair?
A classified question hanging in the air
The FBI says espionage
The headlines read like a spy montage
[Refrain]
No! This ain’t no mirage
(It’s espionage)
Fact is stranger than fiction
(Societal friction)
No! This ain’t no mirage
(It’s espionage)
See through your camouflage

[Verse 2]
Now shift the scene to a different affair
A tech executive and intelligence scare
A known warning, sex and spyin’
Who was briefed? It’s right there.
(Now they’re lyin’)

No! This ain’t no mirage

Then came the dinner, September’s display
Xi at the White House, a state dinner day
Huang at the table, a prominent seat
Diplomatic theater, a high-profile meet
[Refrain]
No! This ain’t no mirage
(It’s espionage)
Fact is stranger than fiction
(Societal friction)
No! This ain’t no mirage

A decision was made.
(Up to no good)
Doing dirty deeds…

Watch the signals!

Justice must rise…
(No disguise!)
Not a rumor

There’s the evidence
(Trace the track!)

ESPIONAGE!
About the Song
The new release of the day, “Espionage (Beyond Austin Powers),” is a fact-is-stranger-than-fiction tale of Russian and Chinese espionage, presidential access, and some very troubling national security breaches.
When the President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of War are part of the story, you would think our own national security agencies would be leading the investigation. Instead, British counter-terrorism police and The New York Times have brought these disturbing cases into public view.
Where is our Justice Department? Where is our accountability? And where, exactly, has our sanity gone?
It’s all set to a fitting spy-thriller soundtrack. Sometimes the real world writes a script that fiction can’t top.
Go Beyond Austin Powers:
Senior US soldier arrested by UK counter-terror police
A senior soldier in the US Army has been arrested by British counter-terrorism police.
The 41-year-old man was arrested near Gloucester on Tuesday, on suspicion of offences under the National Security Act, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force said the allegations related to Russia. The FBI said the arrest involves allegations of espionage.

Trump Enabled Chinese Spy
Trump Was Warned About Nvidia CEO’s Relationship With Suspected Chinese Spy — Yet Invited Him Aboard Air Force One and to White House State Dinner
President Donald Trump says he believes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had no idea that the woman with whom he acknowledged having an intimate relationship was a suspected Chinese spy. Trump expressed confidence in Huang’s explanation, describing him as an “honorable guy.”
However, reporting by The New York Times raises significant questions about what Trump knew, when he knew it, and why he continued to give Huang access to some of the most sensitive diplomatic settings involving China.
1. The Air Force One Warning
According to The New York Times, Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed Trump aboard Air Force One in May 2026, during the president’s trip to China.
Rubio reportedly informed Trump that U.S. intelligence had identified a relationship between Huang and Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected of working with China’s Ministry of State Security.
The intelligence concerns were sufficiently serious that Rubio oversaw the preparation of a highly classified memorandum warning senior administration officials about the relationship.
Despite these warnings, Trump arranged for Jensen Huang to join his presidential delegation. During a stop in Alaska, Huang boarded Air Force One at Trump’s invitation and continued the journey to China.
The decision raises questions about how the administration evaluated the intelligence warning and whether national security concerns were adequately considered before granting Huang access to the presidential delegation.
2. The White House State Dinner
In September 2026, Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at a high-profile White House state dinner.
Despite the intelligence concerns surrounding Huang’s relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, Huang and his wife were invited to attend.
Huang was seated at the prominent head table alongside Trump and Xi.
The decision to include Huang in such a high-profile diplomatic setting raises additional questions about the administration’s handling of the intelligence concerns and its assessment of potential national security risks.
3. Trump’s Public Defense of Huang
Following the revelations, Trump defended Huang publicly.
Trump said Huang had told him he had no idea the woman was a spy and stated, “I really believe him.”
He also described Huang as an “honorable guy” and suggested that he should remain Nvidia’s CEO.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s board has initiated an independent investigation into the relationship and associated national security concerns. The company has stated that it has no reason to believe its trade secrets or national security information were compromised, but that the investigation will examine the available evidence.
4. The Larger National Security Questions
This controversy extends beyond the personal relationship of a prominent technology executive.
Nvidia is a central supplier of advanced artificial intelligence chips, technologies that have major economic, military, and strategic implications in the competition between the United States and China.
The central questions are straightforward:
What intelligence did the administration possess about the suspected Chinese operation?
Why did Trump proceed with inviting Huang aboard Air Force One after receiving the reported warning?
Why was Huang subsequently seated alongside Trump and Xi at the White House state dinner?
Were appropriate national security safeguards maintained?
Did the administration adequately evaluate the potential risks to America’s technological and strategic interests?
These questions deserve serious congressional scrutiny and a transparent accounting of the administration’s decisions.
National security intelligence warnings are not simply political talking points. They exist to protect American interests. How those warnings are received, evaluated, and acted upon deserves accountability.

About the Song
Clear-air turbulence and severe flight bumps are increasing due to climate change.
Key Facts About Rising Turbulence
• Increase Over Time: Severe clear-air turbulence over major routes like the North Atlantic has increased by 55% since 1979.
• Climate Link: A warming planet alters temperature gradients between the Arctic, polar regions, and the equator, strengthening the jet stream and increasing wind shear.
• Invisible Threat: Clear-air turbulence happens without clouds or storms, making it undetectable by standard aircraft weather radar.
• Safety Advice: Keeping your seatbelt fastened whenever you are seated remains the best defense against injury during unexpected bumps
