Here is a sensible fundraiser. Especially for those who don’t want to donate for weapons! x.com/Teoyaomiquu/st…

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

To prevent Donald starting WW3, American nuclear codes should be hidden in the Epstein files.

@OkSevereWx @ImBreckWorsham This. And much, much more. In Russia, fresh produce has become prohibitively expensive due to the cost to transport it and increased labour cost too.

@ImBreckWorsham Those diesel prices are what’s more alarming. The trucks that deliver our food run on diesel and when they spend more on fuel the prices must go up for freight, essentially causing food inflation to skyrocket.

Gas is creeping up toward $4 here in coastal South Carolina. Trump says it's "no big deal." What are the gas prices in your area and how is it impacting you? Sound off.

On a June night in 2024, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang held court with several of his company’s major Asian customers at a bar in Taipei. Next to him was Huang Xiaole (黄小乐) aka Alice Huang, an executive of Megaspeed, a shady Singapore-based data center company. Nvidia’s compliance team has looked into Megaspeed and determined it’s “wholly owned and operated by a company based and headquartered outside China, with no China shareholder.” Megaspeed was created in 2023 when 🇨🇳 7Road, a gaming company with ties to 🇨🇳 state-backed investors, split off its overseas operation in Singapore and renamed it Megaspeed, which in early 2024 set up Speedmatrix, a subsidiary in Malaysia that quickly snapped up ~$2B worth of Nvidia’s most advanced chips. Most of those chips came from Aivres, the US subsidiary of 🇨🇳 Inspur, a major tech company added to the 🇺🇸 Entity List in 2023 for supporting 🇨🇳 military 👉🏻 Nvidia is barred from selling its technology to Inspur without a special license. But since Aivres is based in California and records sales as a US company, it can buy Nvidia chips freely. Megaspeed has funneled those chips to data centers in Malaysia and Indonesia that appear to remotely serve customers in China. That is not necessarily illegal, but it can be found unlawful if it is done on behalf of a 🇨🇳 company. US officials have also been scrutinizing whether Megaspeed diverted some of those chips on to China, in violation of US law. Megaspeed is also facing scrutiny from Singaporean police. Megaspeed listed Alice Huang as its managing director for its first 8 months, and its current director James Tan is from Singapore but is based in Shanghai. It’s not clear when Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, who are not related, first met. She was mingling with a crowd of tech executives just after midnight at the Taipei bar in early June 2024 when she offered to ask Jensen Huang to join them. “I bet you guys I can get Jensen here,” she said, and shortly afterwards Jensen Huang arrived in his trademark black leather jacket and drank a whiskey shot with the group. Jensen Huang and Alice Huang were photographed together again in May, exiting a restaurant in Taipei with an Nvidia aide after a business dinner with other AI suppliers. Alice Huang spent much of her career in China, including working as a TV reporter for 🇨🇳 state media and as a private banker. Huang left Megaspeed in recent months. It’s unclear when and why she left and what she’s doing now. Both she and 🇨🇳 7Road, the Chinese company that Megaspeed split off from, have close ties to a web of wealthy investors and tech companies with data center projects in China. The owners of 7Road include 🇨🇳 central government and several local governments. Before joining Megaspeed, Ms. Huang was executive director for a Shanghai-based fund that had invested in 7Road and had ties to state-backed firms. Reporters looking into Megaspeed’s opaque operation have tracked business listings that led to a Malaysian data center and shopping mall, a near-empty office in Singapore and a dilapidated storefront outside Kuala Lumpur. It’s not clear where Megaspeed’s billions of dollars came from. But a few weeks after the gathering in Taipei last year, Megaspeed began receiving a steady supply of multimillion dollar shipments of some of Nvidia’s most advanced chips. Over the next 3 months, Megaspeed bought a billion $ of Nvidia technology. Within the next 9 months, it secured roughly a billion $ more. The bulk of those advanced Nvidia chips were purchased from 🇨🇳 Inspur’s US subsidiary Aivres. The shipments went to Megaspeed’s Malaysian subsidiary Speedmatrix. The registered address for Speedmatrix on the shipping records led to a dilapidated storefront outside Kuala Lumpur, where the sign out front advertised a construction company. No one was inside when a reporter visited the address in late Sep. Employees at the law firm next door said they rarely saw people in the office. 1/2 nytimes.com/2025/10/09/tec…

💢Report: U.S.-linked facility near Baghdad airport hit at least 65 times A former U.S. base near Baghdad’s airport that continues to serve as logistical support for American operations has been targeted at least 65 times since the war began, according to an Iraqi security report obtained by AP. The report tracks attacks between March 2 and 18, most involving drones, with 73 recorded, along with between 17 and 22 rockets and missiles fired at the site. Most were intercepted, but a recent rocket attack wounded four airport personnel. Iran-backed militias have claimed responsibility for some of the strikes. A U.S. official told AP the figures are “in the ballpark” of what Washington has been tracking.

Genuinely, just cut this shit out. This is the same variety of jingoistic hubris that lead to the Russian military getting its teeth kicked in 30km outside of Kyiv. 99% of USMC’s successful reputation is a product of its very smart and very aggressive war planners (arguably the best in DoD), and I can almost guarantee to you and everyone else that they’re looking at this proposed operation and trying their best not to look at the White House and tell them to “go fuck yourselves with a rusty pipe.”

I put on a map a video showing 60 russian 🇷🇺 bodies on a 700 meter road along the Kazanny Torets river near the village of Boikivka. This road is only 1 500 meters from the infamous Novotoretske village with the hundreds dead russian soldiers. 🧵1/7 ⬇️

Russian President Vladimir Putin is getting even harder to find. rferl.org/a/putin-identi…

@amanpour Yes. Millions affected by the actions of an old man.

“We are manufacturing a whole new generation of terrorists in the Middle East,” former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel tells me, saying the Trump administration's conduct of its war in Iran appears to him unprecedented.

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

Wild Hornets (“Дикі шершні”) does not conduct any operational activity abroad In recent weeks, rumors have been circulating among military personnel, defense industry representatives, and the media claiming that representatives of our company have traveled abroad to train and deploy the highly effective STING interceptor drone in the Middle East. This information is not true. None of our representatives are involved in any international activities, training programs, or combat use of STING. We once again emphasize that the entire Wild Hornets (“Дикі шершні”) team is focused on supporting the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The enemy attacks our country daily with Shaheds, Gerberas, and various types of reconnaissance drones, so our defenders must be equipped with high-quality and original interceptors first and foremost.

@hissgoescobra @mercoglianos @MerruX If the sailors are undersupplied I don’t want to know what the situation is for livestock on cattle transport ships.

@mercoglianos @MerruX This is tens of thousands of people. Doesn’t seem the authorities planned for this, and that’s not good because they’re just people trying to earn a living.

🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨 Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf. A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water. They were denied permission! Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low. Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock. Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in. What is being done to address this matter @POTUS @SecWar @SecDuffy @DOTMARAD @IMOSecGen @IMOHQ.
