Media from the past is so immensely Radicalizing A whole different world of dignity, grace and decorum once existed And this is London after much cultural and economic decay! Yet it is still gorgeous, polite, and refined in a way very little of our world now is All because equality was put first, and as a result civilization was destroyed
MAGA should never be told that a convicted pedophile and his circle of elite friends raping girls when they are 14 or 16 years old is a Democrat hoax. And I still can’t believe I had to fight President Trump to release the Epstein files, and to this day no one has been arrested or held accountable. This was what killed MAGA. I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have Trump Disappointment Syndrome.
📢 The lawyer suing Candace Owens is Ben Shapiro's brother-in-law at Dhillon Law Group (who is also a working on retainer for a REGISTERED FOREIGN AGENT FOR ISRAEL) Jacob William Roth. Married to Ben Shapiro's sister Abigail since 2018. Associate at DHILLON LAW GROUP. Heritage Foundation alum. Specialty: litigating "antisemitic and anti-Israeli discrimination." Now stack what else his firm is doing. Dhillon Law Group is led by Harmeet Dhillon, currently DOJ Civil Rights AAG and rumored AG nominee. The same firm appears on page 14 of FARA Registration 7653 as legal counsel for Show Faith By Works LLC, the registered foreign agent of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A foreign agent of Israel pays Dhillon Law for FARA compliance. Ben Shapiro's brother-in-law works at Dhillon Law. Ben Shapiro's brother-in-law is suing Candace Owens for criticism of Israel. Same family. Same firm. Same fight. Two years after Ben Shapiro fired Owens from The Daily Wire for criticizing Israel, his brother-in-law is co-counsel on the federal lawsuit against her.

I heard @BretWeinstein say that hand washing was a great hygienic push of the 19th century, while daily saline nasal rinses are a 21st-century insight. I tried it. Astonished at the difference, super clear breathing all day. Not a paid endorsement but I'm wild for this product. amazon.com/dp/B000M4W2E6?…
Diesel and jet fuel shortage is worsening. - Asia accounts for ~37% of global refining - ~2/3 of its crude comes out of Hormuz - Those imports are down ~22% YoY - Refineries were forced to cut runs by ~2.7 mbpd The problem isn’t just “less crude,” it’s which crude. Middle Eastern grades are medium density, medium/high sulphur = more diesel and jet fuel To replace that, Asia turned to US barrels, mostly light sweet crude, which gives you more naphtha and gasoline instead. - Middle East barrels: ~60% middle distillates - WTI: ~40% middle distillates Middle distillates = diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, gasoil. In other words, the world is structurally short diesel and jet. Given diesel and fertilizer are the biggest costs in farming, the energy crisis is quietly turning into a food crisis. Now add diesel and fertilizer export restrictions from major exporters and you have the perfect recipe for a food crisis
We don’t need to build a new ballroom. It’s a stupid idea.
Boohoo, libertarians will "get zero power." Imagine thinking that's a bad thing.
I’m going to say the truth. I’m a Muslim Palestinian on X. Yesterday my X payouts went from $8,000 every 2 weeks to $1,000. I complained about it to @nikitabier. Many Zionist accounts targeted me. Told him to remove my monetization. 3 hours later, my monetization is gone. Look… if it’s temporary, I get it. I deserve it. But if it’s a permanent ban, then hear me out: The rollout of creator payouts on X initially transformed the platform into a place where time invested actually paid off for many users. Engagement translated into real revenue, encouraging consistent posting, community building, and honest discourse. It rewarded creators who showed up daily, fostering an ecosystem that felt merit-based and alive. But now, the signals from the platform point in the opposite direction: reduced visibility for certain content, algorithmic tweaks that favor “original” or “high-quality” posts while punishing others, and reports of sudden drops in impressions for accounts that step outside approved lanes. We’re essentially being told we shouldn’t spend as much time here anymore, at least not in the ways that built the payout culture in the first place. That shift undermines the very incentive structure that kept users hooked and contributing. This creates a deeper problem. People won’t simply stop engaging because the algorithm or moderation policies discourage it; they’ll adapt in messy ways. Some will chase whatever metrics still reward visibility, leading to more performative, low-effort content or echo chambers. Others will grow frustrated, posting less or migrating frustrations elsewhere. The result is more division & chaos, not less. When the promise of open participation collides with opaque restrictions, whether labeled as anti-spam, anti-manipulation, or “freedom of speech, not reach”, trust erodes. Users feel gaslit: the platform profited from our time and attention when it suited growth and revenue goals, only to dial back the oxygen once that foundation was laid. We all know the trajectory this follows. It starts with throttled reach for posts that don’t align with evolving internal priorities. Then come temporary restrictions, demonetization, or “temporary labels.” Eventually, for too many, it escalates to full suspension or permanent silencing. Elon Musk positioned X as the free speech platform, a digital town square where ideas could compete without legacy gatekeepers. Yet persistent complaints about shadowbanning, especially for critics of the platform or its owner, alongside massive account suspensions (hundreds of millions cited for manipulation in recent years) and selective deboosting reveal the gap between rhetoric and reality. “Freedom of speech, not reach” sounds principled until reach becomes the quiet enforcer of conformity. Payout incentives pulled creators in; visibility controls risk pushing them out or forcing self-censorship to stay viable. That’s why I’m dropping all my links here: link.me/jvnior. I’m stepping back to focus on streaming. I will post a YouTube video that lays out everything that’s unfolded on X since January. The threats on my life, the defamation, the doxxing, the false reports, the bans. Everything. I truly appreciate every bit of support from everyone along the way. I love you all. I’m going take a break unless @nikitabier responds to me. This break is necessary for my mental health as this is weighing heavier than it should. I never did this for money. But if X genuinely wants to retain the creators who built its energy, it needs to confront whether it’s truly delivering on the free speech promise or just managing a more sophisticated version of a dictatorship. The chaos ahead won’t fix itself.
The left did a 100 year long march through the institutions. We are a year and a half into this administration. Now get your sea legs and man the cannons. We have a ways to go.
