@MarioNawfal we used to do things like this but not anymore. indiana bell got rotated 90° in 1930 while fully operational.

🇨🇳 Shanghai needed land for underground development. Rather than demolish the warehouse complex sitting on it, engineers moved the entire thing... using 432 robots. Engineering so good it looks like CGI. It isn't.

@JaredEMoskowitz Jared, many Jews and Rabbis would argue that the Zionist movement that usurped Judaism is what brainwashing looks like. acjna.org/articles/the-l…

This is what a successful brainwashing campaign looks like. The “reality” of his social media feed. China is winning.

@EylonALevy What are Israeli borders? How is it possible to recognize a state that does not have any declared borders?

Qatar, Saudi, and Pakistan should join the Abraham Accords. They should recognize the State of Israel, because it has existed for nearly 80 years and they should recognize reality. The world must not continue normalizing this abnormal situation.

The U.S. debt has just crossed $39 trillion. Trump alone is responsible for almost 30% of it. So far, Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office. That is nearly 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789. Just think about this: over 250 years, 44 presidents accounted for 70% of the debt. In less than 6 years, Trump alone added 30%. That is about 18 times more than the average U.S. president in history. He is truly the worst presidents in U.S. history, causing more harm to the country than anyone else. And we will be paying for his actions long after he is gone.

Hey Ken Paxton : I am an ex Waco child abuse prosecutor. And while you are focused on bathroom stalls, I am focused on why you allowed Adam Hoffman sodomize a child and he is still a member in good standing of the Texas Bar.👇

When Kamala ran in 2024, she mocked Trump for refusing to confront Iran with sufficient aggression. Last year, Chuck Schumer mocked Trump for trying to resolve the Iran issue with diplomacy. Now Booker complains the deal is too soft on Iran. That's the Dem Party.

@ewa_baczkowska Evita, this is not Qatar.

This is real footage from a slave market in Qatar in the 70s, over 100 years after most of the world had already criminalized slavery. Today, Qatar is one of the biggest donors to Western universities and is where much of Hamas' leadership lives!

While Romanian families shivered in unheated apartments and waited hours for meager bread rations, Nicolae Ceaușescu built himself a 1,100-room palace that consumed $3 billion of his nation's wealth. The Casa Poporului stands today as a monument to the inevitable outcome when central planners face zero market constraints on their appetites. Ceaușescu's palace contains 12 stories above ground, spreads across 365,000 square meters, and required 20,000 workers laboring in shifts around the clock. He demolished entire historic neighborhoods of Bucharest to clear space for his architectural ego trip. Meanwhile, his citizens endured bread queues, rolling blackouts, and heating restrictions so severe that hospitals couldn't maintain proper temperatures. The dictator diverted the nation's resources toward marble, crystal chandeliers, and gold leaf while his people literally froze. Without market prices to signal genuine demand or profit-and-loss mechanisms to punish waste, political authorities inevitably channel resources toward projects that serve their personal preferences rather than human needs. Ceaușescu faced no competitors, no angry shareholders, no bankruptcy risk. He simply commanded the nation's productive capacity to serve his grandiose vision. The palace required 3,500 tons of crystal, 480 chandeliers, 1,409 ceiling lights, and 700,000 tons of steel and bronze. Every ton of material that went into those ornate rooms represented food, medicine, fuel, or housing that never reached Romanian families. The arithmetic is brutal but simple: centralized control means resources flow toward political vanity projects rather than genuine human priorities. The building still stands, largely empty, costing millions annually just to maintain its unused splendor.

Why should anyone trust you with 100 nukes any more than the mullahs with 460 kgs of 60% HEUs, which isn't even close to being weaponized because their program to engineer and precision manufacture an exceedingly complex nuclear weapon was disbanded 23 years ago. You're every bit as crazy as they are alleged to be.

The amazing thing about Israel trying to derail the deal by insisting on the right to bomb Lebanon: Trump announced on April 18 that as part of a deal, he ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon, claiming it's "PROHIBITED." Israel laughed in his face and bombed the next day.

@ejmalrai @nad1as It is not frozen in Qatar but in South Korea under the request of the US.

The US agreed to transfer $12 billion of Iranian money frozen in Qatar as a gesture of goodwill. Netanyahu said no; Trump pulled back. How can Iran ever trust any deal with a president that changes his mind by the hour?

Over a million acres of pristine wilderness lakes in Minnesota. The most visited canoe country in America. Generations of families have paddled it, fished it, camped it. The Senate just sold it out outright. They called it "America First." Then handed it to a Chilean billionaire — so his company can ship the copper to China. The Senate voted 50-49 to gut 20 years of Boundary Waters mining protections. Here's the deal they made. A Chilean billionaire's company digs the mine. America can't smelt the copper — we don't have the capacity. So the ore ships to China. China processes it. Sells it on the world market. Chile keeps the profits. Minnesotans don't even get the jobs. Minnesota keeps the pollution. And Americans get to buy it back from China at full market price. This same company has a documented history at their Chilean mines: pipeline spills, regulatory fines, and locals fighting back for years. They paid a former Trump Interior Secretary $380K. The protection died by one vote. Here's exactly how it happened — and who made it happen. Who do YOU think this mine actually serves? #DemsUnited

Before Feb 28: Oil $67/barrel. Iran had no nuclear weapons. Straits open. U.S. intel said no weaponization program. We attack them: Oil hit $126. Now sitting at $98. Straits closed. Program undamaged. $25B spent directly. Analysts say indirect costs hit $600-950B. Half our missile arsenal gone. Someone who thinks this is a win, explain it to me. I'll wait.

@abdulslam2017 @LindseyGrahamSC is an arrogant, ignorant corrupt drunk. He cannot begin to understand your words.

🚨 To Senator Lindsey Graham… A message from the heart of Riyadh Read this carefully, for what you are about to hear is not a flowery diplomatic statement, but the truth from the capital of decision-making that is leading the world towards a just peace: Firstly: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not need lessons in ‘boldness’ from anyone. Remember, on 22 May 2026, Riyadh launched its historic ‘International Coalition for a Two-State Solution’ initiative, bringing together 165 nations from across the globe to endorse, recognise and support it. This is our international standing, and this is our boldness, which needs no endorsement from you. Secondly: The entire world holds the Kingdom in the highest regard and esteem. We build our strategic relations with the East and the West, with Beijing, Moscow and Washington, and with the European Union, Britain and other influential international powers, in accordance with our national interests and our firm principles, not according to anyone’s dictates. And if you issue a statement linking the continuation of relations or threatening ‘grave repercussions’, you are thereby – in the most blatant manner – undermining the historic strategic relationship between the Kingdom and the United States. Such crude language is unbecoming of allies, and we address it only to those who are ignorant of the Kingdom’s standing and prestige. Thirdly: Who inspired you to ask us to join the Abraham Accords as if you were doing us a favour or dictating our choices? Let us be clear with you: our position on the Palestinian cause is not a bargaining chip, and neither threats nor enticements will sway it. There will be no peace without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is the position we have declared to the world, and this is the essence of our initiative, which 165 countries have rallied behind. We are on the right side of history, and international legitimacy is on our side. Fourthly: A word of free advice… Before you threaten and make threats, take a good look at the bigger picture. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia draws its strength first from God, then from its wise leaders throughout the centuries, from the founder King Abdulaziz, may God have mercy on him, to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and on to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is leading this historic transformation, alongside its loyal people and all free people of the world. Rest assured that history proves that Riyadh has never bowed down, and will not bow down today. In conclusion: history will remember those who led the world towards a just peace, and it will remember those who gambled on the language of threats and blackmail and lost the bet. Do not misjudge the situation… again.

@cabsav456 @LindseyGrahamSC It is their own money. No one would be giving Iran a thing. How difficult is it to understand that?

@LindseyGrahamSC Why the fuck are we lifting sanctions on Iran AND unfreezing assets? Why would we give them ANY MONEY?

If in fact as a result of these negotiations to end the Iranian conflict, our Arab and Muslim allies in the region agreed to join the Abraham Accords, it would make this agreement one of the most consequential in the history of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan joining the Abraham Accords would be beyond transformative for the region and world. It is a brilliant move by President Trump. To Saudi Arabia and others: Now is the time to be bold for the future of a new Middle East. I expect, as President Trump has suggested, you will in fact join the Abraham Accords effectively ending the Arab-Israeli conflict. If you refuse to go down this path as suggested by President Trump, it will have severe repercussions for our future relationships and make this peace proposal unacceptable. Further, it would be seen by history as a major miscalculation. President Trump: Stick to your guns in getting a good deal with Iran. Equally important, stick to your guns in insisting Saudi Arabia and others join the Abraham Accords as part of these negotiations. Again, this is a brilliant proposal by President Trump.

@MikeLevin ICE buying "11 vacant warehouses" well above market value from Trump's campaign donors is a kickback scheme by the Trump administration at the taxpayers' expense.

@CholericCleric @MikeLevin Should have known?? She was on the grift train to steal from the public. Every single one of them in and around the Administration are into the scheme to steal as much as they can as fast as they can. The Congress gave them the keys 🔑

@MikeLevin In a MAGA presidency, only one man is allowed this scale of corruption. Noem should have known.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the DHS Inspector General just opened an audit into a $38 billion warehouse-to-detention scheme that Kristi Noem and her top adviser Corey Lewandowski rammed through. ICE bought 11 vacant warehouses in a matter of months, paying 11 to 13 percent above market value. The properties weren’t even zoned for detention. No working plumbing for thousands of detainees. But Noem and Lewandowski pressured ICE to open them by year’s end anyway. The result? At least $1 billion already spent on nine facilities. Nearly 50 contractors paid $1.7 billion since Trump took office. Companies with zero immigration detention experience suddenly winning massive federal contracts. One firm that didn’t even exist until June 2024 got a $6 million DHS contract this January. Noem is gone. Lewandowski is gone. But the bill is still landing on the taxpayer, and the IG investigation is just getting started. Accountability cannot end when the perpetrators walk out the door. Every contract needs scrutiny. Every dollar needs to be traced. Every official who steered money to inexperienced contractors needs to answer under oath. wsj.com/politics/polic…

I don’t often agree with Kagan but he seems to be right that this is what Trump is hoping for. He started a war without a plan, wasted billions of dollars in equipment, failed to prepare obvious targets for defense, which resulted in unnecessary deaths of American soldiers, hollowed out the Pentagon’s ability to assess targets, which resulted in us murdering over 150 civilians, mostly girls, when we bombed their elementary school in Minab, handed Iran incredible strategic victory by allowing them to take de facto control of the Strait of Hormuz and show that we are powerless to stop it, exposed the strategic isolation of the U.S. that his antagonism to our allies has brought us in, and now he’s trying to slink away with some cockamamie cover that he’s going to use to claim victory. The Iran hawks are clamoring for him to “finish the job” but he’s already finished, and Iran knows it. He doesn’t have a mandate to send ground troops, and even he he orders more bombing, it will be a cosmetic tactic designed to disguise the defeat. What can you possibly accomplish by trying the exact same thing after it failed the first time except now you have depleted a lot of the ammo and Congress has gotten more assertive about not expanding the war?
