BREAKING: US armed forces & Bolivian police are preparing a joint operation to kidnap Evo Morales and massacre the indigenous communities in the vicinity. Police officers opposed to the plan have leaked documents confirming the operation.

The British media is doing everything it can to make this mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, lazy, security risk the PM. Ask yourselves why? Why do they want that so badly, who benefits? It's not going to be the British people. Follow the money, always follow the money.

Russia has a plan to cause trouble in Europe using trolls from Africa. They are setting up troll farms in countries like Ghana & Nigeria. These trolls spread lies in the media, aimed at creating division, fear, and chaos so they can weaken Europe’s power. The EU must wake up.

the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023.. not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute.. they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid.. the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel just delivered the White House Correspondents' Dinner roast Trump was too scared to face — and it’s BRUTALLY HILARIOUS! This year, the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner has abandoned its long-standing tradition of featuring a comedian to host the event and deliver a fiery roast of the incumbent president and their administration. Given Donald Trump’s boycott of any dinner where he might have to face the slightest bit of mockery, it was the only way to get him to return to the scene of his previous humiliations, most notably from the rapier wit of Barack Obama back in 2011. According to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, Trump banned comedians from the Dinner because, as Kimmel put it, "our president is a delicate snowflake with the thinnest fat skin of any human being ever." So, Kimmel did the roast anyway — presenting it as the Alternate White House Correspondents' Dinner from the "Trump Kimmel Center in Washington, DC" in a subtle jab at the MAGA alternate Super Bowl Halftime show. It was everything Trump could possibly fear. The opening of Kimmel’s faux routine set the tone immediately: "I haven't seen this much black since every page of the Trump Epstein files." He then began to skewer the narcissist-in-chief — and select members of his administration — with barbs designed to highlight every major character flaw that Trump pretends doesn’t exist On Trump's ego: "The president didn't want me to tell any jokes about him tonight, but he also didn't want to pay me $130,000 to shut up. So here we are. Sorry, mushroom d**k." On Trump's Jesus complex: "Every time he walks into a room, people say, 'Christ, he's back.' Who did your makeup? Kraft Singles?" On Trump's legacy: "He passed new incentives for oil and gas. He put the brakes on solar and wind. That will be your legacy, sir — breaking wind and passing gas." On Trump's Epstein connection: "30 years ago, you were just some rich guy on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet out of Teterboro. But you worked hard, stayed friends, shared some wonderful secrets. And because of that, you were able to fly on that plane seven more times. Dreams really do come true." On Melania: "Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. She's planning to celebrate her birthday at home, the same way she always does — looking out a window and whispering, 'What have I done?'" And: "Melania's documentary had a score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website named after her husband's testicles." On Kash Patel: "Can we get Kash a vodka soda and a booster seat? I'm not saying Kash Patel has a problem, but his designated driver is Pete Hegseth." On Pete Hegseth: "Pete's hair has more oil in it right now than the Strait of Hormuz. Later on, Pete's going to read us a Bible passage from Pulp Fiction, so stick around." On RFK Jr.: "Years ago, he wrote in his diary that he pulled his car over to carve the penis out of a raccoon. His son asked why. He said, 'Because I'm a f---ing psychopath. Now get out of this car and go get measles.'" Kimmel concluded his alternate reality roast by presenting another made-up award of the type that the insecure president loves so much: the "inaugural Burger King of Comedy Gold Award," which was presented to "Donald J. Leno Trump." Trump may have gotten the White House Correspondents' Association to ban comedians at their annual dinner — but the comedy happened anyway, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel. Please like and share this post if you think a president hiding from jokes is funnier than any joke a comedian could tell.

The USDA just handed Palantir a $300 million no-bid contract to consolidate American farm data into a single platform, and the details deserve more attention than they are getting. The deal, built around something called "One Farmer, One File," will give one company a unified digital profile of every farmer in the country, their land, their subsidies, their supply chains, all of it running through the same Foundry platform that already powers ICE deportations and military targeting. Since trump took office, Palantir's federal contracts have nearly doubled, spanning Defense, Homeland Security, ICE, Treasury, Justice, HHS, and now the USDA. The USDA is just the latest door to open, and this one leads straight to the food supply. The company behind all of this was co-founded by Peter Thiel, the creepiest billionaire in a field that has no shortage of competition, a man whose biographer described his politics as essentially longing for a dictator, who launched Palantir with CIA seed money, bankrolled JD Vance's Senate run with $15 million, and once wrote that democracy has been in decline since women's suffrage rendered "capitalist democracy" an oxymoron. Running the day-to-day operation is CEO Alex Karp, who has told investors the company exists to "scare enemies and on occasion kill them," warned audiences that "some people are going to get their heads cut off," and fantasized about spraying Wall Street analysts with fentanyl-laced urine. Former employees have publicly condemned his increasingly violent rhetoric, and a manifesto the company recently posted online was described across the political spectrum as cartoonishly fascist. So when the trump administration hands this particular company a no-bid contract over American agricultural infrastructure, that is not a bureaucratic footnote. Palantir will now have visibility into what farmers grow, how disaster relief gets distributed, how fraud gets flagged, and how foreign land ownership gets monitored, with the full system not expected to be complete until 2028 and years of expansion still ahead. Putting the surveillance architecture of the American security state in charge of the food supply, with zero competitive bidding and minimal public debate, should concern a lot more people than it currently does. farmweeknow.com/general/palant… finance.yahoo.com/sectors/techno… ainvest.com/news/palantir-… 🎩 The Other 98%✨

Phoenix PD bodycam just dropped the quiet part out loud. Officer Annette Hannah, while processing a woman who blew triple zero on the breathalyzer and passed every test: “They’re gonna kick me off squad if I don’t get a DUI… I can’t just conjure one up. I have tried.” Her partner: “You can. You can.” The woman? Brianna Longoria a California nurse in town for her wedding so her sick dad could attend. No alcohol, no drugs, no impairment. Arrested anyway. Charges dropped, but the arrest stays on her record… for now. She filed a federal lawsuit (2: 25-cv-04931) alleging a de facto DUI quota. Phoenix PD says “we don’t have quotas” and both officers are still on duty. Internal review is “ongoing.” This is why people don’t trust “just comply.” When the numbers matter more than the facts, innocent people get steamrolled.

Wow. Several years ago, it would be hard to imagine a story like this. Now, it's not routine, but not anyhing out of the ordinary. A ground robot evacuated a 77 year old Ukrainian lady from Lyman. Her home of 53 years was destroyed by Russians. She was walking along a shelled road when pilots of the 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade spotted her. They sent a ground robot to her rescue, covered with a blanket saying "Grandma, get in!" Three other civilians who were also walking were escorted by drones to the evacuation point where an armored vehicle took them to safety. The operation lasted four hours. 📹 Third Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Russia eased vaccination standards when diphtheria seemed beaten. 157,000 infections. 5,000 dead. Japan dropped mandates after a trust collapse. Rubella came back. Babies born blind and deaf. Nigeria boycotted polio shots. The virus paralyzed 2,500 children and spread to 20 countries. That is the documented pattern. Kennedy has now dropped six vaccines from routine schedules and pulled $1.6 billion from global immunization. Measles is already in 46 states.

OpenAI and Palantir are so terrified of this guy, they're spending millions to destroy him. There's a Democrat running for Congress in New York's 12th District named Alex Bores. Never heard of him? Well that's the point. 3 year state assemblyman. 30 bills passed. Co-author of the RAISE Act, the first real AI safety law in any major state. Soft bill. Basic transparency. Safety plans. Incident reporting. And for that, the AI industry has declared WAR on him. A Super PAC called Leading the Future has already dumped $2.5 million into destroying his campaign. Funded by Joe Lonsdale (Palantir co-founder), Greg Brockman (OpenAI co-founder), and Andreessen Horowitz. They've said they may spend up to $10 million. For a single House seat. But the money isn't the crazy part... The crazy part is what they've said OUT LOUD about why: They're trying to make him SUFFER so publicly that every future politician who even THINKS about regulating AI runs the other way. Bores' exact words: "They want to beat up on me so bad that when the idea of regulating AI comes up in the future, politicians run the other way." This is literally political deterrence. Terrorize one guy so brutally that Congress learns the lesson: Touch AI, end your career. Now here's where it gets really insane: Their main attack line is that Bores worked at Palantir "building ICE tech." And who funds the attacks? Joe Lonsdale. Palantir co-founder. The man who profits from ICE contracts is spending millions to attack a candidate for… once working at Palantir. But Bores QUIT Palantir in 2019 because executives refused to put anti-deportation guardrails into their ICE contracts after Trump's first election. He pushed internally. They said no. He walked. So the billionaire who funds deportation tech is spending millions to smear a candidate for working on deportation tech that the candidate actually tried to stop. You cannot make this up. And the question everyone should ask is: Why THIS guy? Bores isn't a radical. He's not anti-AI. Not Bernie Sanders. He's a moderate Democrat with a CS degree who passed the softest possible AI bill. Which is EXACTLY why Palantir and OpenAI are terrified of him. Because he proved something dangerous: You can actually pass AI regulation. It's not impossible. You just need one competent legislator who understands the tech and refuses to back down. Multiply that by 50 states and AI companies lose control forever. So they're not just attacking Bores the candidate. They're attacking the PROOF that AI regulation is possible. And they're doing it while OpenAI quietly publishes policy documents that ADMIT most of Bores' proposed regulations are reasonable. Third-party audits? They agree. Red-teaming? They agree. Kid safety provisions? They agree. They don't disagree with the substance. They disagree with the TIMING. They want regulation to come AFTER they've bought enough political power to write it themselves. That's what $2.5 million to destroy one assemblyman actually buys. Not an election. But a warning to every politician watching: If a first-term legislator with a soft bill can get buried under $10 million of attack ads, imagine what we'll do to you if you try to pass a real one. This is how industries capture democracy. With FEAR. And it's working. Members of Congress are already telling Bores in private: "We're watching this race. We want to see if this is an issue you can win on, or if money just swamps everything." Which basically means: Tell us if we're allowed to legislate on this. The crypto industry ran this exact playbook in 2024 through Fairshake. Hundreds of millions spent. Anti-crypto candidates destroyed. Congress rewritten. Now AI is running it at 10x the scale. Leading the Future: $125M raised. AI companies: $300M+ committed to the 2026 midterms. More than crypto spent in the ENTIRE 2024 cycle. All on one principle: Don't debate your critics. Destroy them so publicly nobody else dares become one. Palantir isn't scared of losing a House seat. OpenAI isn't scared of one guy's bill. They're scared of PRECEDENT. Because if Bores wins, the lesson Congress learns is that you CAN take on AI and survive. And that's the one lesson the industry can never afford them to learn. What's your take on this?

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.

A corporation is building a sloth petting zoo in Orlando by kidnapping wild sloths from rainforests in Guyana. They have taken 69 sloths and at least 31 are already dead.

Putin just gave himself the legal right to invade any country on Earth. 413 votes. Zero against. In 1938, Hitler said he needed to protect the German-speaking minority in Czechoslovakia. Six months later he owned the whole country. This week the Russian Duma passed a law letting Putin deploy troops anywhere on Earth to “protect Russian citizens.” Estonia and Latvia both have large Russian-speaking minorities on Russia’s border. Trump has spent a month telling America that NATO abandoned him. The alliance didn’t show up when he needed it. Remember that. What Americans don’t understand: leaving Europe before a major war doesn’t mean sitting it out. It means handing China the role Japan held in World War Two. We are not saying this was planned. We are saying a plan between two men would look exactly like this. Full breakdown here: x.com/microinteracti…
