I never stop being amazed by them. Launching their “Birdhouse” — a strategic-class missile worth around $100 million, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead — at a garage complex in the Kyiv region. Let’s calculate how much this night cost them. One “Oreshnik” — roughly $100 million. Around ninety cruise and ballistic missiles: Kh-101s, Kalibrs, Iskander-Ks — at an average price of about $8 million each — that’s another roughly $720 million. Six hundred Shahed drones at $50,000 each — another $30 million. Plus fuel, launch platforms, maintenance, reconnaissance. Total: around $850 million for a single night. Nearly a billion dollars. And what did they get for that billion? They hit garages in Bila Tserkva. Destroyed the “Kvadrat” shopping mall. Set the roof of a dormitory on fire in Darnytskyi district. Blew apart an entrance section of a five-story apartment building in Shevchenkivskyi district. Hit a market. A supermarket. A construction hypermarket in Obolon. Dropped debris onto the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium. Two sleeping civilians killed. Fifty-six wounded, including children. Is this their strategic result for a billion dollars? This is their “special operation.” This is their “greatness.” They cannot move forward on the battlefield. Cannot seize a single truly significant settlement. Cannot defeat the army of a country they promised to capture in three days four years ago. And in convulsions, in agony, in powerless rage, they strike residential neighborhoods at night — museums, markets, shops, garages. Impotent on the battlefield, compensating for their failure with the number of munitions fired at sleeping civilians. Blind evil and helplessness at the same time. Monsters. Simply monsters. Rabid, paranoid lunatics with a nuclear button. I have no other words left for them.

Ted Cruz
Ted Cruz@tedcruz·
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration. President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy. If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake. The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging. President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.

An analogue to this (kind of) exists in the US, it just ONLY exists in the most profoundly liberal towns in the USA. Incedibly strange that the only defenders of the classical "Dolce Vita" of Western Civilization in the US are hardcore rainbow liberals -- NOT conservatives. And before people say: "ah but in my heavily-Republican town, we have big town wide events in the summers!" I want to point out that that is not the same as what Megha is talking about here. Discrete "events" like parades and bandstands are totally different from "daily, by default, all informally mingling in a public outdoor space every evening." If you want the latter and not the former here in America -- sorry, but you've got to go to Prospect Park, the leafy lib quadrangles of New England, certain towns in California, the San Juan Islands of WA, etc. They are basically all uniformly expensive, incredibly gay, and deeply irreligious places.

Piazza-culture is extremely pro family and I'm experiencing first hand why and how. I live in a remote medieval village in Italy with my children and here, the tradition is for everyone to come down to the piazza in the afternoon/evening and just hang out. The parents drink a coffee or a beer, the children play together, often an ice cream truck shows up (selling real iced cream of course), elderly people hang around reading books, socialising and gossiping. Even though I don't speak Italian very well, I am learning so fast because of these evenings. My children don't need me to organize social activities for them because it is built into the society. I make friends easily with multiple age-groups of people. Childcare and motherhood has become drastically less isolating for me because I don't have to organize coffee meetings with friends that I put into my calendar and then it becomes a special interrupting event of the day, rather, we just all show up at the same place regularly and friendship and socialising is part of the rhythm of living. Children get fresh air and exercise in a natural way. There are dogs and cats that hang out and everyone looks after them; they don't pose a threat or nuisance to anyone. I notice also that although the piazza is packed with people every evening, there is zero litter, and everyone respects their surroundings. This wouldn't be possible by the way without the Italian way of being. You can't just put a piazza in any culture and have it work. The Italians are extremely warm and open-hearted and that's what makes this work. I know because I've seen similar physical settings in other cities and the coldness/insularity of other cultures precludes this kind of open social atmosphere. Italian piazza culture helps bring all those groups of people together who are normally isolated in capitalistic/materialistic societies: the elderly, the small children and the mothers. The main threat to this culture are foreigners who move to Italy for the weather and the cost of living, but reject Catholicism, Christ, family and the core aspects of Italian culture which are all about loving your neighbour. This little pocket of humanity in the world needs to grow. We need to protect this and we need more of it. If you want the benefits of a Christian society, you can't turn your nose up at the values that create it. (picture not mine)

Many are often dismissive of NAFO, including Ukraine supporters sometimes, but they do a lot of work that has real impact. It's a way ordinary people in almost any life circumstances can actually do something about it and not just be demoralized news consumers.
UNITED24@U24_gov_ua

After 4 years of activity, NAFO fellas are still at it, supporting Ukraine in various ways. In-between donating to Ukrainian initiatives, the doggos make sure that russia doesn't receive extra profit or materials to manufacture weapons. And it actually works. Their recent campaign, #Alumina21, aimed at banning the trade between Ireland’s Aughinish Alumina plant and russia, by adding it to the 21st Sanction package caught the eye of the European Commission. alumina21.com Thank you for doing your best, by “becoming worse.” This is the way🇺🇦

On a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally. My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey. My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security. USF denied my reentry into college. I had to fight to get my guns rights back. My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA. My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk. My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and I lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me. We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation. The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it. They maliciously charged me with felony theft. We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the J6ers, we can finally finish setting things right.

They are looting the country on an unprecedented scale and the lesson of losses by Massie and Cassidy is that no Republican in Congress will ever lift a finger to halt this.

I’ll be voting blue down the line during the midterms. They actually primaried the hero that wrote the legislation to release the Epstein files. They primaried the last man that always defended the constitution. They primaried the man that actually wanted to balance the budget. They primaried the man that refused to vote to send billions of dollars a country committing human rights atrocities. They primaried the man that stood for everything this country was built to protect. They took 20+ millions dollars from a foreign nation and ended the career of the most principled man in politics. Our country is very sick.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸
I am proud and thankful to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives with my friend Thomas Massie, a giant among weak pathetic men. Releasing the Epstein files was our demise. But it was worth every single bit because now everyone knows the truth. You are ruled by the Epstein class that cares nothing about you and your elected leaders are bought and controlled by a foreign lobby. Tonight the future of the Republican Party was destroyed. The Real America First Movement will rise led by the younger generations, who hate the old guard with an unquenchable passion. Let us pray that we have a country left by the time these creatures are gone.

Thomas Massie: "I vote with Republicans 91% of the time. And the 9% I don't, they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country." An absolute mic drop. 🎤⬇️

Running a literal bag of sand against @MassieforKY is a total humiliation ritual for the people of Kentucky. They are basically saying: we can run a complete empty suit, who won't debate, brings nothing to the table and you can't do anything about it. They want to prove they can purchase a Congressional seat by smearing the other guy and spending 10M dollars instead of presenting a stronger candidate with better ideas.
