Yet the state of Texas recently failed at handling a few days of cold temperatures. Big time.

Poorly-insulated houses exploded, more or less, when their pipes burst and the resulting water flows easily brought down ceilings and walls:

This happened to so many homes that water pressure dropped below critical levels and entire communities suddenly lost their access to water.

So why was Texas so vulnerable?

Sure, the temperatures

Very much akin to the events which led to the January 2020 drone strike against IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani as well as its aftermath, we are now witnessing a rapidly escalating tit-for-tat series of attacks between US and Iran-backed forces in Iraq. Last Wednesday the Pentagon confirmed a major attack involving at least ten rockets fired on the the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq’s Anbar province – where American troops are stationed. 

While a US Coalition statement last week cited “no significant

Last week was an emotional and P&L rollercoaster for every trader, and even though stocks closed almost unchanged from where they opened, what happened in the past five days was anything but smooth sailing…

Greyhound CEO David Leach told Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that migrants released into the country must demonstrate that they don’t have the CCP virus.

The letter, obtained by Border Report, was sent on Wednesday, around the time when it was reported that more than 100 illegal immigrants that had tested positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus were released into Texas since late January by Border Patrol agents. The CCP virus, commonly known as novel

Pope Francis on Sunday continued his historic visit to Iraq, traveling to the northern cities of Erbil, Mosul, and Qaraqash – the latter two which prior to 2017 were ravaged by ISIS occupation and fighting since 2014. 

“You have protected the Christians when Daesh attacked,” the pope told Kurdistan Regional Government officials in Erbil, using the Arabic name for ISIS. He called the Kurdish regions into which Iraqi Christians fled en masse during the 2014 declaration of the so-called ‘caliphate’ a “home for displaced Christians.”
