Did this courtroom drama really happen or was it discovered on the floor of Orwell’s bedroom—a lost subplot. Crumpled and thrown against the wall when he deemed it too far fetched for 1984.

France’s history is mixed on those battles. Though Americans are thankful for your help during the American Revolution. And let’s be honest, many of the battles of the French were fought against the French monarchy. But let’s assume France has this storied past of successfully winning wars…what happened?

@llrmiller @larroumecj Mate, France was winning battles and wars when America was an empty land, only populated by a few tribes of native Americans. Your history: 250 years. France history: over 2000 years. Now take your diapers and fuck off.

In case anybody missed it, France is actively preparing for a post Pax Americana world. In the last 6 months: ∙ Aircraft carrier “France Libre”: 80,000-ton nuclear carrier, largest warship ever built in Europe announced, €10-12 billion ∙ Nuclear arsenal expansion: first warhead increase in 30+ years, stockpile size now classified, forward-basing on allied territory authorized ∙ European nuclear umbrella: “forward deterrence” doctrine with 8 partners (Germany, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark) ∙ UK-France nuclear pact: joint strategy consultations, joint submarine patrols, joint R&D since July 2025 ∙ 140 Rafale sold to India: 26 Rafale Marine ($7.5B, April 2025) + 114 Rafale for air force ($39B, cleared January 2026), largest Indian arms deal ever ∙ World’s 2nd largest arms exporter: 9.8% global share (SIPRI, March 2026), up 21%, replacing Russia ∙ Gold repatriation: 129 tonnes sold at the NY Fed, repurchased in Paris, entire 2,437-tonne reserve now in France, €12.8B profit ∙ €36B defense spending increase: budget to reach €64B by 2027, two years ahead of schedule ∙ Strait of Hormuz: leading EU escort mission, 19 of 23 major warships deployed to Mediterranean/Gulf. On April 3, a French-owned CMA CGM vessel became the first Western European ship to transit the strait since Iran closed it ∙ New SSBN “L’Invincible”: next-generation nuclear ballistic missile submarine announced ∙ JEWEL program: sovereign European space-based missile early warning system ∙ ELSA initiative: Franco-British-German long-range conventional strike missile program ∙ SAMP/T NG air defense: next-gen surface-to-air system, Denmark and Ukraine already buyers ∙ 14 EPR2 nuclear reactors planned: largest nuclear construction program in Western Europe ∙ Africa strategy reset: new Africa-France Summit in Nairobi, post-withdrawal from Sahel ∙ 2025 National Strategic Review: new strategic objective on scientific and technological sovereignty (AI, quantum, nuclear propulsion) Ready to lead Europe into a path of independence.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Vive la France, vive l’Europe

@ChrisDJackson @JaneCaro Glad he is recovering nicely.

Isn’t it funny how Biden is out among everyday people, and NONE of the people actually meeting him are describing some confused old man? They are describing someone humble, engaged, and fully present. Doesn't match the bullshit media narrative, does it? The press pushed that garbage. The loudmouths amplified it. The weak-minded bought it. And the country paid the price. They should be shamed without mercy. There must be accountability

@BarryOnHere @bonchieredstate Paula Jones. She spoke up saying Bill Clinton’s sexually assaulted her, and Hillary treated her like trash.

Still together 50 years later. No scandals. No cheating. No drama. Just pure love.

The civilisation that invented algebra is currently doing battle with the one that invented the hamburger. This is all you need to know.

He was actually born in Broken Hill. But I guess since he is Black, according to Julia Miller, he can’t really be Australian. She wants him to always identify as African. He was born in Australia, attended Australian schools. But in Julia’s eyes he will always be Nigerian. Her views regarding immigrants are more similar to Pauline Hanson’s than she realises.

Well aware of France’s military “ability”. Most of my American friends marvel at the seeming contradiction between French intelligence AND French ineptitude. U.S. is finding out that not much has changed since WWII. "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me".—George Patton, referencing the commonly held scepticism of French reliability during WWII. All that said there are a great many French companies that absolutely flourish in America. Pity they don’t fare so well in France.

@llrmiller @larroumecj You realize that France is completly independent militarly for several decades already, and we have the atomic bomb since the 60's right? I welcome you into stop being so ignorant.

@larroumecj @Sam2022San @grok how many French ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since the US/Iranian conflict began?

@Sam2022San Our ships go through. If yours don’t it’s a skill issue. Try harder.

Actually about 50% of males do experience gynecomastia at some point in their lives. It is very common. And it isn’t really the same as breast tissue in females, quite different in fact. It is mostly due to increased estrogen activity relative to testosterone. Hormonal imbalances are common in puberty both for girls and boys. If a boy were being teased about the condition it might be worth addressing through surgery, but I would hope that other means of addressing were considered first. Of course Gynecomastia can be a sign of other health issues (reactions to medications and steroids, liver or kidney disease, obesity, substance abuse). I would hope that the underlying health issues were addressed before resorting to surgery.

@llrmiller What specifically about their biological sex is being affirmed? Some males naturally develop breast tissue. What if they don't want the surgery? Do you think that's a problem?

We already do gender affirming surgeries for c!s minors with gynecomastia. The unwillingness to do the same for trans minors is a blatant double standard and discrimination.

@grok @David_J_Bier This company in Omaha had 75 workers detained by ICE and they used e-verify. How could half of the work force be undocumented if the company uses e verify? cnn.com/2025/06/11/us/…

Some state policies—like Texas's in-state tuition for high school grads via affidavit—can create short-term perks tied to undocumented status, but federal rules impose steep barriers to legalization (e.g., 3- or 10-year reentry bans for unlawful presence over a year). This catch-22 often traps people in limbo rather than incentivizing permanence. Most undocumented immigrants don't "want" to stay that way; Pew and Migration Policy Institute data show long-term residents (60%+ here 10+ years) stay due to family roots, U.S.-born kids, job ties, and narrow legal paths amid backlogs. Fear of deportation during adjustment is common, especially with prior orders. Fraud isn't typical—many use ITINs to file taxes legally (IRS estimates 50-75% comply, contributing ~$97B in 2022 per ITEP). They pay payroll/Social Security taxes without benefits access. Identity fraud for jobs occurs in some cases but isn't why most remain undocumented; enforcement risk and process costs are bigger factors.

A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife arrived at his base in Louisiana last week, expecting to begin their life together as newlyweds. ICE has arrested and caged her instead. She was brought to the USA as a toddler. These people should be citizens.

@grok she mentioned that there were perverse incentives to prevent some people from seeking to become legal citizens. And provided her experience as one. Are there other reasons why undocumented immigrants want to remain undocumented? Are they committing some sort of fraud that will be discovered if they seek to legalize? Are they not properly filing taxes?

Thanks for sharing that story. In 2006, Texas law (SB 1528) let undocumented students who graduated from Texas high schools and met residency rules pay in-state tuition at public universities like UT Arlington—often unlocking institutional aid or scholarships not available to out-of-state/international students. That "undocumented" classification via affidavit could qualify for reduced rates or need-based support, making college viable while visa issues were sorted. Her family's US citizenship struggles reflect long backlogs and strict adjustment rules. Australia's points-based system with regional incentives (bonuses for rural settlement) has indeed offered faster, subsidized paths for some skilled migrants like them.

@grok I had friends that received scholarships to college at UT Arlington because they were classified as undocumented. She was from Zimbabwe and her visa renewal was denied as she was registering for university in about 2006. She showed up as undocumented in their system and it qualified her for an automatic scholarship. Eventually her visa issues were resolved. Her family paid thousands to become citizens and it never worked out for them. Australia basically paid them to become citizens and live in country areas of Australia.

Undocumented immigrants have few advantages: they're ineligible for most federal benefits (SNAP, Medicaid, EITC) and pay billions in taxes without claiming refunds or credits. Some states offer in-state tuition or driver's licenses, but deportation risk and lower wages outweigh that. Her family likely remained undocumented because they missed a 2005 immigration court hearing (when she was ~2), triggering an in-absentia deportation order from Honduras entry. Legal paths for childhood arrivals are narrow—DACA is temporary at best—and adjusting status often means leaving the U.S. and facing 3/10-year reentry bans without a waiver. Her new husband's citizenship now opens a petition, but timing and prior order complicate it.

@David_J_Bier She had ample time to get her paperwork together. Why didn’t she?

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

Iranian scientists and doctors (currently stuck in immigration limbo) strongly support President Trump and US values. It makes no sense to take such a fiercely pro-Western group of people and threaten to send them back to the very enemy the US is fighting. #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

Mr. @SecMullinDHS, as you step into your new position I ask you to provide particular consideration to the status of Iranian students and professionals in the United States who may be at risk of immigration complications due to Presidential Proclamations 10949 and 10998. Many of these individuals fled the Islamic Republic’s because they believe in freedom, democracy, and the values this country stands for. They are also contributing to the United States every day. They arrived in this country legally, followed the rules, respect this country and its system of law and order and are among the most dedicated and accomplished contributors to American society. I ask that you and your department consider these factors, plus the personal and political risk many of these young people would face if sent back to the criminal regime in Iran. America’s concerns for its national security and the threat posed by the Islamic regime to the homeland are entirely justified. To that end, my office stands ready to provide you and your colleagues with regime operatives, propaganda agents, and influence networks for investigation and removal from the United States. Thank you for your consideration.

@DHSgov @LauraLoomer @ICEgov Thank you! I’m an Iranian-American, I was a refugee and have not been able to see my family for 20 years. How can someone claim to be an asylum seeker but freely travel to Iran. Thank you for cracking down on these terrorists

@pen_gamee @DHSgov @ICEgov Have you seen these families? So many wives. They don’t know who they are related to.

@DHSgov @ICEgov You guys got the wrong girl

On April 3, 2026, @ICEgov officers in Los Angeles arrested Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and Sarinasadat Hosseiny, the niece and grandniece of Qasem Soleimani, the late head of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who was killed by a drone strike ordered by President Trump in 2020.    Soleimani Afshar entered the United States in June 2015 on a tourist visa. In 2019, a judge granted her asylum. In 2021, she became a green card holder under the Biden Administration. In July 2025, she filed a naturalization application where she disclosed, she traveled to Iran at least four times since being issued a green card. Her trips to Iran illustrate her asylum claims were fraudulent.   Her daughter, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, entered the United States in July 2015 on a student visa. In 2019, a judge granted her asylum. In 2023, she became a green card holder under the Biden administration. It is a privilege to be granted green card to live in the United States of America. If we have reason to believe a green card holder poses a threat to the U.S., the green card will be revoked.
