@AngelaBelcamino I believe it is attributable to the fact that normal people still believe truth and facts are not refutable!

JD Vance going on The View reinforces something I’ve learned: Republicans are FAR more willing to step into hostile media environments and have tough conversations than Democrats are. Why is this so?

@Austen Good call, everybody takes up some space in the world. Why shouldn't he take up the richest person space?

Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet. The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.

@ThaisEscufon Good luck in your noble cause!

Europeans and American patriots! Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.” Meanwhile, my own attacker, a Tunisian migrant, is still at large. I need your help to generate media pressure and hope to be acquitted. They cannot silence the truth! Thank you for your support 💪🏻🇫🇷

@MichaelARothman My take away is that you reference the two fame seeking, mostly wrong, annoying and inflammatory online personalities in a single post. They are anti-American and antisemetic.

He didn’t hedge. He didn’t walk it back. He laid out a framework — “settler colonial,” “apartheid,” “extermination” — and landed on a direct parallel: 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲, 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭. This is not a random social media ranter. Piker built one of the largest political streaming audiences in the United States. He was given a platform at the Democratic National Convention. Prominent Democratic politicians and media figures have sought his audience as a path to the next generation of voters. Israel is the world’s only Jewish state, the destination for Holocaust survivors with nowhere else to go, and the only functioning democracy in the Middle East. Comparing it to Nazi Germany is not an edgy political take. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭. The left keeps asking why Americans are skeptical of its direction. Here is a data point: the people it has empowered and platformed — on camera, without apology — believe the Jewish state has no right to exist.

@mattvanswol Congrats to her and your while family!

Four years ago, my wife was diagnosed with a rare type of oral cancer. They cut out 1/3rd of her tongue. We have to come back to Charleston SC for regular cancer scans. Today, the scan came back clear!!! BONUS: we found this nostalgic diner... a total blast from the past!!!

@AmyMek You said it, local level up. Elect true Americans who will promote American values.

Trump isn't saving America from Islamization. We fix this ourselves - local level up. We still have the numbers to win every local election. The only question is whether we have the spine to stop waiting for a savior and actually get engaged in our communities/elections.

@DavidSacks Truly!

Narrative violation.

@ImtiazMadmood Agreed, Gad Saad @GadSaad speaks of testicular fortitude that will be required to change the course of society.

The Muslim brotherhood said Jihad would take over by ballot or bullet. Yet y’all think everyone is just here to be your friend. I don’t even know if we can get the horse back into the barn at this point. When you see people like Mamdani get elected in one of the most important cities in America, we have a problem.

Not sure if you noticed but we are witnessing the mother of all projections! Maybe the greatest in history! Ya know how so many people are accusing Israel of all kinds of things? Well, not only are those things unequivocally false as it pertains to Israel, but every single one of them is indeed being perpetrated… by Israel’s enemies. Not kidding. Every single thing Israel’s enemies are guilty of, they project and accuse Israel of. The list is very long but here are a few examples for your reading pleasure. Let’s start with the most obvious one. Israel is committed genocide? Really? 🤣 Have you seen what Hamas (and regular Gazans) did on 10/7? THAT was (attempted) genocide. Israel is starving Palestinians? Really? 🤣 Have you see what the Israeli hostages looked like upon release? THAT is starvation. Israel is a colonialist state? Really? 🤣 Have you looked at a map lately and specifically how the Muslims colonized half the world and continue as we speak to take over the west? THAT is colonialism. Israel is an apartheid state? Really? 🤣 Have you ever tried to walk into an Arab town in Judea and Samaria? If you’re a Jew, I surely hope not. How about Gaza? Can Jews walk freely in Gaza like Arabs can walk freely in Israel? Are there Jews serving in the court system or the medical system in any Arab town? THAT is apartheid. Israel is ethnically cleansing the Palestinians? Really? 🤣 Have you looked recently how many Jews live in Arab countries such as Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and others? There used to be many jewish communities in those countries and now they’re all a thing of the past. THAT is ethnic cleansing. Israel is sexually abusing Palestinians? Really? 🤣 Have you read the testimonies of the released hostages and how they were brutally sexually abused and raped in Hamas captivity? THAT is sexual abuse. Israel is occupying Palestinian land? Really? 🤣 Have you seen what Hamas does to Palestinians in the streets of Gaza? Have you seen what Hezbollah has done to Lebanon and how they ruined the lives of normal Lebanese people just wanting to live in peace? Or what the IRGC has done to Iran? THAT is occupation. Israel is paying people to spread propaganda? Really? 🤣 Have you seen how many paid protestors there are at every Palestinian march? Have you seen their pallywood videos? Their AI content? Have you noticed how all the popular podcasters who once stood with Israel have all mysteriously made a 180°? THAT is paid propaganda. The IDF kills women, children, and even babies? Really? 🤣 Have you watched any of the footage from October 7th, the footage taken and proudly live-streamed by the very people who carried out the massacre? Did you see how they burned families alive and raped, murdered, and abducted innocent women, children, and babies? THAT is what killing women, children, and even babies looks like! The Zionist regime is racist and Israel discriminates against Muslims? Really? Have you read the charter of the Palestinian Authority? Have you listened to any of their speeches? Have you seen what they say about Jews and what should be done with them? While Arabs play significant roles in Israeli society, to Israel’s enemies, Jews are filthy creatures that don’t have a right to exist. THAT is racist and discriminatory. Israel is guilty of war crimes? Really? 🤣 Have you seen where Hamas and Hezbollah embed themselves? Right in the center of civilian populations? Have you see how they hide weapons in nurseries and children’s rooms? How they use their own as human shields? THAT is what war criminals look like. The Jews and Israel control the west? Really? 🤣 I don’t see any jewish mayors taking over cities throughout the west. I don’t see full neighborhoods and even cities in the UK that accept jewish law as their law. Have you seen how quickly Muslims are taking over our cities? THAT is what controlling the west looks like. Israel is stealing land? Really? 🤣 Have you looked at the size of the so-called "Arab world"? 22 countries, 5 million square miles, carved out by conquest from Morocco to Iraq, all of it taken from indigenous peoples — Berbers, Copts, Assyrians, Kurds, Jews. Have you seen the 850,000 Jews expelled from Arab countries in the 1940s and 50s, their homes, businesses, synagogues, and bank accounts confiscated overnight? THAT is stealing land. Israel is erasing Palestinian history? Really? 🤣 Have you heard the PA and Hamas deny there was ever a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem? Deny Jewish ties to the Western Wall? Deny that Jesus was a Jew? Have you seen UNESCO resolutions sponsored by Arab states scrubbing the words "Temple Mount" from history? Have you noticed that every Jewish artifact dug up in the City of David gets denounced as a "forgery"? THAT is erasing history. Israel is forcibly displacing people? Really? 🤣 Have you counted the 850,000 Jews ethnically cleansed from Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus, Tripoli, Sana'a, and Aleppo? Have you seen what Jordan did to Palestinians in Black September — killed more of them in 10 days than Israel did in decades? Have you seen what Kuwait did to 400,000 Palestinians in 1991, or what Lebanon does to its Palestinian population to this day — no citizenship, no property rights, no jobs? THAT is forced displacement. Israel is imprisoning children? Really? 🤣 Have you seen Hamas and PA child soldiers paraded in fatigues with rifles at age 8? Have you seen Iran's regime arresting and executing teenage girls for not wearing hijab properly? Have you seen what happens to a Palestinian kid in Gaza whose father is accused of "collaboration" — entire families locked up and tortured? THAT is imprisoning children. Israel uses disproportionate force? Really? 🤣 Have you seen what Assad did to Hama in 1982? Flattened a city, killed 20,000-40,000 of his own people in three weeks, and the world said nothing. Have you seen what the Syrian civil war did — 500,000 dead, 13 million displaced — barely a peep from the same crowd screaming about Gaza? Have you seen what Saudi Arabia did to Yemen? THAT is disproportionate force. Israel bombs schools? Really? 🤣 Have you seen how many UNRWA schools were doubling as Hamas rocket depots, tunnel entrances, and weapons caches? Have you seen Hamas rockets that misfire and land on Palestinian schools — like the al-Ahli hospital incident? Have you seen Hamas fire mortars at Israeli kindergartens in Sderot for two decades straight? THAT is bombing schools. Israel controls foreign governments through lobbying? Really? 🤣 Have you seen how much Qatar pours into American universities — billions in undisclosed funding, buying entire Middle East studies departments? Have you seen Iran's foreign influence operations — fake think tanks, paid academics, the Iran Experts Initiative scandal? Have you noticed who funds the protest encampments? THAT is buying influence. Israel runs an "open-air prison" in Gaza? Really? 🤣 Have you seen who controls who leaves Gaza? Hamas at the Rafah crossing, beating people who try to flee. Have you seen Egypt — an Arab country — keeping its border with Gaza sealed shut for 15 years? Have you noticed that the only Gazans who ever made it out for medical treatment did so through Israeli hospitals? THAT is keeping people caged. Israel brutally abuses innocent Palestinians? Really? 🤣 Have you seen what Hamas did to people on October 7th and what they did to the hostages in Gaza? Do you know how they murdered the Bibas family? THAT is brutally abusing innocent people! Israelis are the new Nazis? Really? 🤣 Have you studied the relationship between the Palestinians and the Nazis? Have you read any literature from both groups? Have you seen what the Palestinian charter calls to do to Jews? THAT is what modern day Nazism looks like! I feel like I can keep going on and on but I’ll stop for now. Every accusation is a confession. For Israel, every innocent life lost is a tragedy. For Israel’s enemies, every innocent life lost is a strategy! What did I miss? What other things are Israel’s enemies guilty of that they project onto Israel? The worst part is that anyone with a brain can see this projection so clearly. The fact that so many cannot is a very bad sign for the future of humanity. “People have such open minds, their brains fell out!” - My dad

@elonmusk Congrats! Diet Coke to celebrate!

@Handre You are correct and additionally they used the law to include all kinds of other individual and corporate regulation. Most of it unenforceable some deemed un-Constitutional. It was/is a terrible law.

They told you Obamacare would discipline the insurance giants. Force them to compete. Drive down premiums through the magic of an online marketplace with a clean government website. Then you watched the website crash in October 2013, and you watched UnitedHealth, Aetna, and Anthem post record profits while your deductible climbed past $6,000. Here is what the exchanges actually built. The law forced you to buy a product under penalty of the individual mandate, then handed the insurers a fountain of taxpayer cash to make the product look affordable. Premium tax credits flowed straight to the carriers, not to you. In 2017 the federal government paid roughly $42 billion in subsidies, and that money landed in corporate accounts. The cost-sharing reduction payments did the same thing. The risk corridor program promised to backstop insurer losses outright, which is to say it socialized the downside while the executives kept the upside. Guaranteed customers. Guaranteed revenue. A captive market created by statute. Any cartel in history would have killed for terms like that. Free market economists have a plain name for this arrangement: rent-seeking. When a firm earns its money by extracting subsidies through political channels instead of by serving customers who choose freely, it stops being a business and becomes a tax farmer. The insurers lobbied for the mandate because they understood the arithmetic better than the voters did. America's Health Insurance Plans spent millions backing the bill, then acted shocked when premiums on the individual market more than doubled between 2013 and 2017 in many states. They were not the victims of the law. They wrote the parts that mattered. Strip away the subsidy and the whole structure collapses, because the prices were never real prices. A real price emerges when a buyer who can walk away meets a seller who can lose the sale. The exchange killed both conditions. You could not walk away without a penalty, and the seller could not lose because Washington covered the gap. This is not a market. The people who keep calling it one are counting on you not noticing who cashes the check.

@KonstantinKisin Lose the kids lose the country!

Want to save the West? Start by telling your children the truth. A society that teaches its children to hate their inheritance shouldn't be surprised when they fail to preserve it. Teach your children gratitude. Teach them why freedom matters. Teach them what made the West successful. Because if you don't tell them the truth about their civilisation, someone else will tell them a lie.

Adam Schiff wants Americans to believe the problem with this country is that some people build too much, earn too much, and succeed too much. Here is what he said: “Schiff: There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country. This is the cost of a corrupt system, where wealth perpetuates itself, and poverty, at the same time.” Schiff is dead wrong. The problem is not that people like Elon Musk build companies, create products, take risks, hire workers, push technology forward, and generate wealth. That is not the failure of America. That is the American dream in action. Elon Musk, who is clearly the kind of person Schiff is targeting here, did not become wealthy by sitting in Washington, holding hearings, blaming others, and spending taxpayer money. He built companies that changed entire industries. Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and his other ventures have created jobs, opened opportunities, pushed innovation, and made America stronger. That is not something to punish. That is something a healthy country should want more of. And let’s be honest, even if Schiff and the Democrats got their dream and took every dollar of Elon Musk’s wealth, it would not fix the federal government’s spending disaster. It would not come close to solving the long-term debt problem. It would barely make a dent before Washington came back demanding more. If Schiff really cared about the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable, he would be focused on stopping waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, and reckless spending inside the federal government. That would make programs stronger for the people who truly need help. Instead, he points at successful Americans and tells everyone else to resent them. Source: Adam Schiff X account

One of the most important videos you will see this year. Please share ⚠️ Extremely important testimony. In this interrogation, Hamas operative Anas Muhammad Faiz Al-Sharif openly admits that he worked at Kamal Adwan HOSPITAL while serving in the Al-Qassam Brigades. He details how Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other groups used the hospital as a base, storing and transporting weapons (AK-47s, pistols, grenades, mortars), conducting observation and patrols, and moving equipment in and out at night. They chose it precisely because it was filled with civilians and patients, believing it provided a “safe haven” that the Israeli military could not directly target. This is Hamas’s own words on systematically embedding military operations inside civilian hospitals. Not speculation. Not propaganda. A direct confession. Hospitals are not supposed to be weapon depots or command centers. For three years we’ve heard the UN, propagandists, the media, fake NGOs, and politicians, scream about Israel hitting hospitals. The propagandists denied hospitals were ever used. They denied any weapons were inside. THEY LIED!!

Please watch and share this with your friends and family.

@DanBurmawy I agree we should hareturnedve Iran to its people. I am hopeful that Trump isn't done as I don't expect the Islamic Regime will abide any terms.

I'm being called a leftist for criticizing Trump's Iran deal. It's fine, these people don't know me. But seriously: this kind of imported tribalism is exactly what we're fighting when we stand against Islam. You can be pro-Trump and still criticize his short-sighted moves in the Middle East. You can be pro-Israel and still criticize its failure to understand the nature of the war it's fighting. Backing someone without surrendering your judgment to them is part of what the West is built on.

@glennbeck @elonmusk They will not give you a break, they do not even understand what you are saying. They refer back to "You didn't build that". It sad that the American people can't choose better people to represent them.

Let me break this down for people like Elizabeth Warren and Graham Platner who just can't seem to understand how @elonmusk could become the world's first trillionaire without a rigged economy. They're saying a man who risked everything to RESET the space industry, inventing sustainable space travel with reusable rockets that land themselves, who stepped up and SAVED astronauts from space because Boeing and NASA couldn’t do it, doesn’t deserve his wealth? Or a man who pioneered electric vehicles while the rest of the auto industry said it could never happen, THEN GAVE HIS TECHNOLOGY AWAY FOR FREE, didn't earn that money? I don't see Pfizer doing that. Or a man who saved free speech and gave a voice to the voiceless across the world by buying Twitter and creating X? And who provided people in remote areas, totalitarian states, and warzones with access to the outside world through Starlink? That man should be punished with a wealth tax? Give me a break.

@MasterMaliq I don't doubt that for some it might reduce tension although it does not change underlying circumstances int he real world. This conflict between Islam and Modern Western Society will eventually have to be resolved.

@dnptwit I get what you’re trying to say, but framing it as an inevitable ""storm" doesn’t really help anything. If anything, more open and honest conversations like this reduce tension, not increase it.

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me. Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so. Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to. Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions. Why? If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others. Truth does not need censorship. If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher. You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home. The double standard needs to be called out.

@AriFleischer Who would? Trust but verify would be a close as a reasonable person could agree to.

I still don’t trust Iran.
