Costa Rican president-elect Laura Fernández Delgado on her country closing its embassy in Cuba and telling Cuba's communist government to pull its diplomats from San José: "Socialism, communism, the left demonstrate that they destroy societies. We must learn from what happens in those countries so as not to bring that type of political regime to our country."

The moment the West decided evidence no longer mattered — if it got in the way of utopia. Melanie Phillips (former Guardian journalist): “Objective evidence was cast aside because it was too inconvenient. The very idea of reason and rationality was dismissed. All these ideologies — multiculturalism, lifestyle choice, deep green environmentalism, moral relativism — were utopian. They promised perfection. Anyone who brought facts against them wasn’t just wrong… they were evil.” Result? - Evidence became “right-wing” - Dissenters were bullied, ostracized, fired, threatened - The Guardian itself became the heart of this ideological machine… until she fell foul of it. When ideology is sacrosanct and the world must be perfected, facts become the enemy — and truth-tellers become heretics. Have you watched this shift in real time — where inconvenient evidence gets labeled “hate” or “misinformation”? Which sacred ideology do you think has done the most damage to open debate? Your honest take 👇

I used to view Donald Trump simply as a solid, effective president... someone who delivered results on the economy, borders, and foreign policy without all the usual political polish. But over time, I've come to see something much bigger: the entire American political system has been rotten and corrupt for decades. It's not just isolated scandals or bad actors; it's a deeply entrenched network of career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and media gatekeepers who operate as a self-protecting "uniparty" or "swamp." They prioritize their own power, insider deals, endless wars, and special interests over the actual needs of everyday Americans. Elections often feel like theater, with the same outcomes no matter who wins—more debt, more control, more erosion of freedoms. What sets Trump apart is that he's the only major figure in modern politics who's truly taken on that machine head-on and actually shaken it. Previous leaders talked tough about reform but ultimately played along with the system, got rich from it, or were too tied into it to challenge it meaningfully. Donald Trump, as a DC outsider who didn't need their approval or their money, has exposed the corruption, fought back against weaponized institutions, and forced the hidden power structures into the open... even when it meant relentless attacks, impeachments, indictments, and lawfare aimed directly at him and his children. He's far from perfect, and the battle is far from over, but for the first time in my lifetime, someone has genuinely threatened the status quo and refused to back down. That's why the pushback against him has been so ferocious: he represents the real possibility of dismantling the corrupt system rather than just managing it. To me, supporting him now isn't just about one good presidency... it's about finally having a fighter who's willing to take on the whole rigged game for the sake of the country, and God help us if he fails.

Hanson, who’s studied how wars end for 50 years, says the tide has turned in America’s favor against Iran. Forget the rancid propaganda flowing from all quarters related to the Iran conflict and how it is going - Hanson says look at how everyone else is behaving. Hanson’s Key Points: • Europeans: They never touch a conflict until they smell victory. Early on? Crickets. Now they’re quietly moving assets and offering support. Pure calculation — they’ve read the battlefield and decided which side wins. • Gulf petro-states: Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris survive by reading the room perfectly. They’re expelling Iranian attachés, silently intercepting Iranian missiles over their capitals, and the UAE just reaffirmed its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the U.S. mid-war. These are not gestures — they’re bets. And they’re all-in on America. • Al Jazeera: The Qatari state network that usually bashes U.S. actions (and hosts Hamas offices) is now calling America’s bombing campaign “brilliant” and “underestimated.” When the outlet that hosts both the biggest U.S. air base and Hamas praises U.S. effectiveness, the message is unmistakable: they think we’re winning. • Military reality: A-10 Warthogs and Apache gunships are now flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace at will. These slow, low-flying platforms only appear when enemy air defenses are effectively gone. Confirms what’s really happening on the ground. Iran’s only play left is rope-a-dope: drag it out, hope U.S. public opinion flips, pray midterms pressure Trump to quit. VDH’s verdict: If Trump sees it through — and he will — the regime falls. Not in years. Pretty soon. Bottom line: Watch what people do, not what they say. Every player with skin in the game is betting on America. The signals don’t lie. - @EnergyAbsurdity

🚨 I won't sugarcoat it: two federally funded professors are currently attending an anti-American conference in Cuba. They’re partnering with the Palestinian Youth Movement, a national organization that incites violence, expresses support for terrorism, glorifies atrocities by Hamas, and recruits college students to spread anti-American and anti-Israel propaganda. The PYM organizers tagged in this photo by @thestustustudio are dangerous radicals who have publicly stated that "every single fiber of our being is going towards building a movement capable of ending the crimes of Zionism and U.S. imperialism." These two professors will return to Rutgers University and George Mason University and unleash what they’ve absorbed onto students. American taxpayers are forced to fund it. @EDSecMcMahon @SecScottBessent

@SimonElmer2022 "...the authority of community elders — through which British police continue to liaise with these Muslim ghettos — ensures that the silence under which this industrial-scale abuse of our children is perpetrated is never broken..." Criminal malfeasance endorsed by @ukhomeoffice

You must be joking (or a Labourite). Khan is the figurehead of Islam's conquest of Britain. In the decade he's been in office he's turned London into an Islamic city. He's actively covered up the police reports of the rape gangs that we know of operating in the London Borough's of Brent, Camden, Croydon, Greenwich, Hammersmith and Fulham, Havering, Hounslow, Ilford and Barking, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Wandsworth to the extent of repeatedly denying that there are any rape gangs in London, which given it has the largest Muslim population of any UK city is ridiculous.

Between 1997 and 2016, approximately 1 in every 2,200 Muslim males over the age of 16 in Britain were arrested for what are euphemistically referred to as ‘group localised child sexual exploitation offences (GLCSO)’, which is to say, the grooming, gang-rape, torture and trafficking of White British children. For specifically Pakistani men, the arrest rates rose to 1 in 1,700. In specific towns the percentages are far worse. In Rochdale, 1 in 280 Muslim males have been convicted of child sexual offences. In Telford, where up to 1,000 girls were groomed, raped and trafficked for 40 years going back to the 1980s, it’s 1 in 126. And in Rotherham, where over 1,500 girls suffered the same abuse, a barely believable 1 in 16 of the town’s 2,529 Pakistani Muslim males over the age of 15 in 2011, 160 men, were arrested for child sexual offences. Of the 317 men convicted of GLCSO between 1997 and 2018, 275 of them, 87 percent, had Muslim names. Within these Pakistani Muslim communities, the subjugation and abuse of women is not regarded as extreme behaviour but as the norm; and the authority of community elders — through which British police continue to liaise with these Muslim ghettos — ensures that the silence under which this industrial-scale abuse of our children is perpetrated is never broken: not by the wives and mothers of the rapists; not by their friends and families; not by their imams, muftis and mosques; and, increasingly, not by the British institutions these communities infiltrated and, today, dominate. This silence is created by the Pakistani clan system, which is composed of brothers, cousins, uncles and family friends, over which imams have absolute and religiously sanctioned control. Again and again, trial reports on the Pakistani rape gangs that have been arrested show that the criminals were members of the same family, nuclear or extended. This alone demonstrates that the rapists are not isolated gangs of men who just happened to be Muslims and Pakistanis, but are part of an organised crime network of drug-dealers, groomers and traffickers bound by religion and controlled by highly organised, hierarchically-structured, kinship-based networks (biraderi) that run throughout the Pakistani communities in Britain. Few if any members of those communities, therefore, can be ignorant of the existence of the rape-gang network. This includes the Pakistani Muslim Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who has repeatedly denied the existence of police reports of Muslim rape gangs operating across London; the Pakistani Muslim Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood; the UK’s 26 Muslims MPs, 19 Muslim Peers and more than 500 Muslim councillors; the more than 2,000 imams in the UK’s 2,300-plus mosques, the unknown numbers of muftis presiding over the 85 known Sharia courts, and the thousands of Muslim academics in our educational sector indoctrinating our children into the dogma of Islam. It is, therefore, in my opinion impossible to believe what we are told and expected to believe, that hundreds and perhaps thousands of Pakistani Muslims in these towns knew nothing about these appalling crimes and who was perpetrating them. And these are only three of the 50 towns and cities and 85 local authorities in which we know, already, that Muslim grooming and rape gangs operate. In some cases, members of these Muslim ghettos did come forward, and they were ignored by the police, threatened by the rape gangs and hounded from their communities. But they are a tiny minority. Most Muslims, by far, justify the rapes as the fault of the victims, which Islam, the Qur’an and UK imams all tell them are the sex slaves of Islamic conquest religiously sanctioned by Allah. However many men were actually involved in the rape of hundreds of thousands of English and no doubt Scottish, Welsh and Irish girls too, it is the whole Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim diaspora in Britain that stands accused of complicity in the silence under which these crimes were committed and continue to be committed today. All who did, therefore — all who are complicit — are accessories after the fact for knowingly assisting these criminals in avoiding arrest, trial and punishment for their appalling crimes, which continue to this day, at this very hour, the length and breath of Britain. This is something we, the British people, should take into consideration when proposing solutions to the presence in Britain of such a large and hostile population of rapists and their accomplices. Extract from my new book, ‘The Great Replacement and the Islamisation of Britain’. If you don’t want to see Britain swamped with millions of Muslim men and their huge families living off the taxes of the British people while raping our women and children, and want to know what we can do to oppose the barbarisms of Islam, please consider purchasing a copy of my book.

R*pe Statistics in Europe: 2000: 🇬🇧 England & Wales: 8,593 🇩🇪 Germany: 8,133 🇫🇷 France: 7,500 🇵🇱 Poland: 2,399 2023: 🇬🇧 England & Wales: 68,109 🇩🇪 Germany: 39,029 🇫🇷 France: 42,400 🇵🇱 Poland: 1,127 Hey @grok, why has rape crimes decreased in Poland while they have increased eightfold in other European countries?

I’m sick and tired of it all. I’m sick and tired of traitors wearing suits and smiles while they sell us out. Sick and tired of Candace Owens turning every headline into her personal drama tour. Sick and tired of hearing about Joe Kent, somebody I’d never heard of three days ago. I’m tired of MTG's Botox sunburnt face and that cheap boxed bleach job she runs through her hair every six weeks. Tired of Thomas Massie’s Jerry curls looking like he just rolled out of a 70s porn set. Tired of Tucker Carlson and that weird thousand-yard stare he does like he’s reading your soul. And this ain’t just a Republican problem. I’m calling balls and strikes on everybody. I’m sick and tired of the Krassensteins flooding my feed with their cry-baby rage-bait, racking up hundreds of thousands of impressions while the rest of us grind. Tired of seeing JoJoFromJerz's face caked in enough makeup to spackle a house. Tired of seeing that thing on Ilhan Omar’s head. Tired of Jasmine Crockett’s non-stop loud mouth and AOC’s horse face lecturing me about “systemic” everything while she flies first class. I’m sick and tired of people who break the actual law never seeing the inside of a jail cell. Fraudsters, corrupt politicians, pedophiles on the Epstein list. I’m sick and tired of hearing “no one is above the law” when it’s crystal clear that everyone is above the law except you and me. I’m tired of good things happening to bad people. Tired of the worst accounts on X blowing up while honest voices and talent gets buried. Tired of Hollywood elites and late-night “comedians” telling me how to live while they snort coke in mansions. Tired of corporate suits pushing DEI quotas that punish hard work and reward skin color. Tired of teachers in schools sneaking in agendas instead of teaching real history. I’m sick and tired of people telling me to live my life a certain way so I don’t “offend” folks with mental illness. Biology isn’t bigotry, and I’m not rewriting reality to make anyone feel special. But what I’m sick and tired of the MOST…are the people who hate America. The ones who burn the flag, kneel for the anthem, and scream that this country was founded on “stolen land” and “oppression.” The ones who flood across our border, take our benefits, wave their own flags, and then trash the greatest nation God ever gave man. The ones in Congress who call America “racist” while cashing taxpayer checks. The so-called journalists who apologize for every American achievement like it’s a crime to be exceptional. These America-haters don’t love freedom, they fear it. They don’t want opportunity, they want equality of misery. They push socialism in our schools, woke nonsense in our military, and shame in our hearts because a strong, proud America stands in the way of their globalist wet dream. Well I’m here to tell you... I love this country with every fiber of my being. I love the dirt in my backyard, the fireworks on the Fourth, the smell of barbecue on a summer night, and the fact that my three kids can still dream bigger than anywhere else on Earth. I love the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the flag that flies over my house, and the men and women in uniform who’ve kept us free. I love that we’re the only nation on the planet dumb enough and brave enough to say “give me liberty or give me death” and actually mean it. I’m done being polite about it all. I’ll keep writing, keep voting, keep raising my kids right, and keep standing for the greatest experiment in human freedom the world has ever known. Because if loving America makes me the bad guy…then lock me up with the rest of the patriots. I’m sick and tired of the haters. But I’ll never be tired of this country. MAGA forever.

Sure does look like tourism to me.

🧵Cuba is in collapse, food shortages, & the worse energy crisis in 67 years. At the same time, U.S. activists stay in a five star restricted luxury hotel, potentially violating sanctions. The Cuban Assets Control Regulations are clear. The question is: will they be enforced?

@timburchett One of the biggest logistical boosts these organizations receive comes from Global Health Partners, which holds 65 licenses and helps groups ranging from DSA to the National Network on Cuba get aid into Cuba. They may have been involved. x.com/thestustustudi…

🚨BREAKING: Code Pink leftist activists are heading to Cuba to tell people living under communism how terrible Trump and America are. I wish Cuba would keep them.

@timburchett Medea Benjamin (the woman in the Cuba video in first class) runs a nonprofit called Global Exchange which partners with foreign governments for travel exchanges. It is in blatant violation of IRS regulations. Here's a letter I wrote about them.

@silvitamaldia @MayraDo57466678 Those shoes cost about 19% of the median annual income in Cuba. Those visiting “socialists” supporting the communist regime are about as tone deaf as anyone could ever be. Spoiled bunch of rich entitled little brats.

Cuba 🇨🇺 La izquierda internacional Fue a la isla supuestamente a llevar ayuda, pero están de fiesta, consumiendo electricidad y gastando el poco petróleo que tienen los pobrecitos cubanos. Son unos HDP‼️

🚨 @MehekCooke just DROPPED a TRUTH NUKE on the hypocrisy: “Democrats spent BILLIONS building elections in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the SAVE America Act, just show ID to vote at home, that’s where they draw the line. We’ll export democracy to Baghdad. We just won’t protect it in Baltimore.” Mic drop. They’ll send our tax dollars halfway around the world to teach others how to run fair elections… but secure our own votes here at home? Suddenly it’s “voter suppression” and “poll taxes.”

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sen. Mike Lee has MIC DROP MOMENT on the Senate floor "That voting is a constitutionally protected right in NO way, shape, or form means that we have to make it easy to vote and SCREW THE REST! Let's let them cheat? That's NOT a rational conclusion..." "...UNLESS of course your objective is to facilitate non-citizen fraudulent voting in our elections to the disenfranchisement of actual American citizens who are there to vote!" "This is NOT a victimless crime, and SHAME on my colleagues for suggesting otherwise." 🫳🏻🎤
