[Regnum] More than 1,600 flights have been canceled and over 19,000 delayed in the United States due to heavy snowfall that hit both coasts and the central part of the country. Bloomberg reported.
The most significant disruptions were reported at New York's largest airports—JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. In California, more than 50,000 homes and businesses were left without power after several days of continuous rain. Storms and flooding led to dozens of road closures in the Los Angeles area alone. New York City is expected to experience its heaviest snowfall of the winter, and significant drifts have already accumulated in the Sierra Nevada, posing challenges even for four-wheel drive vehicles.
[YouTube] The Joint Prototyping and Experimentation Maritime (JPEM) Program in collaboration with Gravity Industries (UK) introduced a single person Jet Suit capability for rapid transit from shore-to-sea and from sea-to shore for joint missions such as Maritime Interdiction and Visit Board Search and Seizure (VBSS).

In that form, I would think that the crew would have to have their hands up before making an approach. Small boat boarding parties become dicey in heavy seas. I don’t see a way to mitigate that risk with the packs. Training would injure or kill to many folks.

[NYP] Refund checks for Americans will be "gigantic" in the upcoming filing season because of the tax cuts included in President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted this week.
Bessent explained on the "All-In Podcast" that the tax provisions in the July law signed by Trump were retroactive to the beginning of the year and most workers did not adjust how much was deducted from their paychecks after the provisions went into effect, meaning they can expect a big refund when they file taxes in 2026.
"I can see that we’re gonna have a gigantic refund year in the first quarter because working Americans did not change their withholdings," said Bessent, who also serves as acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
"I think households could see, depending on the number of workers, $1,000- $2,000 refunds," the treasury secretary continued.

Can I request a Somali style refund, where it mysteriously is 10 times more than I would reasonably expect? Maybe they have a special code word that I can use like In & Out or Steak & Shake.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
