🚨 WATCH: Iranian-American professor Shirin Saeidi says she’s spent 20 years preparing for this moment, warning the Iran war was inevitable. After being removed from the University of Arkansas, she says Iranians in the diaspora “will never submit to tyranny — in Iran or America.”

@Running18834415 @falcojugger What is the move after QxB5?

@falcojugger Correct! 👍

White to play and win. #onlymove #chess

@KingTargaryenn @grok is this close to factual?

Uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la producción de El Señor de los Anillos es que el Aragorn definitivo estuvo a punto de ser otro, y que un niño de 11 años cambió el destino de toda la trilogía. El Aragorn que definió la fantasía moderna iba a ser interpretado por Stuart Townsend. El actor entrenó espada intensamente durante dos meses y viajó a Nueva Zelanda, pero a solo unas horas de empezar a rodar, Peter Jackson entró en pánico porque se veía demasiado joven y lo despidieron inmediatamente. Llamaron de urgencia a varios actores, como Russell Crowe, que rechazó el papel. El elegido final fue Viggo Mortensen (recomendado por la directora de casting, que ya había trabajado con él). Su primera respuesta fue dudar: no conocía los libros ni a Jackson, y el caos de la producción no le convencía. Pero el destino de la saga cambió gracias a su hijo Henry, de 11 años. Fanático absoluto de Tolkien, se plantó delante de su padre y prácticamente le exigió que aceptara: “¡Tienes que hacerlo, papá! ¡Él es el rey!”. Viggo se subió al avión al día siguiente sin haber leído el guion. Si hoy tenemos uno de los arquetipos heroicos más perfectos del cine, no fue solo por la visión de Jackson, sino por un niño de 11 años que salvó al rey desde el salón de su casa. ¿Creéis que sin Viggo Mortensen la trilogía habría sido exactamente la misma, o ese niño cambió la historia del cine para siempre?

@RealJamesWoods Our own state department would not acknowledge the results of the elections in California were the same election rules set in a foreign country, simply due to the propensity for fraud. Pratt doesn’t have a chance

I’m laughing, but he’s exposing Bass and Newsom for the cartoon characters they truly are. The simple fact is that you’d have to be out of your mind to reelect Karen Bass after what she has done to our beautiful city. She is a living nightmare.

@JackDavisMAGA @FoxNews Yeah because this is so much worse that drunk drivers and 33000 deaths a year. The hyperbole against robot cars is pure insanity.

This is the “future” they keep pushing — empty Waymo robot cars swarming neighborhoods, circling cul-de-sacs like confused drones and clogging the streets. Residents are fed up for a reason. Nobody asked for this chaos in their backyard. Tech bros can keep hyping it, but real people just want safe, functional roads — not a fleet of malfunctioning robot taxis playing tag. Fix it or get them off our streets.

Empty Waymo cars swarm an Atlanta neighborhood, repeatedly circling cul-de-sacs and leaving residents frustrated and confused. One local estimated nearly 50 self-driving cars rolled through the area in a single morning, with several clogging the road as they struggled to maneuver around one another. Waymo said it had “already addressed this routing behavior.”

@Outspoken_Sam In any case, if they were paying informants that would make them an intelligence operation and ineligible to be a non-profit.

🚨 THE SPLC WAS JUST PAYING INFORMANTS - which is the Leftist narrative. The Left is pushing the narrative that the SPLC was simply paying informants to monitor and report on extremist groups. If that were truly the case, there would have been no need for the SPLC to route payments through fake entities and shell organizations. They did so because the recipients weren't passive sources - they were active organizers who played key roles in planning events and rallying other extremists to participate. In some cases, these individuals were leaders of the very hate groups the SPLC publicly listed as extremists, all while receiving payments from the organization. That contradiction makes the "they were just informants" defense fall apart. They weren't mere observers - they were active participants, organizers, advertisers, and motivators. They were the REASON these hate events happened at all.

@unusual_whales Per NYT. Does anyone take this seriously?

BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT. In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention. Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump family’s deals are expanding.

@xxChessMaster Board is flipped. Q-E4

White to move! Mate in 2!

@JMSantiagoP @xxChessMaster Or just Qb6…

@xxChessMaster 1. Qd6,... with the following possibilities: • 1..., cxd6; 2. Rc3#. • 1..., c6; 2. Qb8#. • 1..., c5; 2. Qb8#. • 1..., b5; 2. Qa6#.

White to move! Mate in 2!

@shipwreckedcrew Blanco has 11%. Not sure why he’s missed.

The problem is that is 38-25 once 2 of those Dems are eliminated in the primary.

@unusual_whales “Per WSJ”. Has any organization gone through such a credibility freefall so quickly as the @WSJ in international relations has in the last couple years?

Saudi Arabia is pressing the U.S. to drop its blockade of Hormuz, fearing President Trump’s move to close it off could lead Iran to escalate and disrupt other important shipping routes, per WSJ

@unusual_whales Still in congress though?

NEWS: Eric Swalwell has ended his campaign for California governor, and apologizes for “mistakes in judgment”

@shipwreckedcrew UAE and Saudi Arabia upping their game and creating alternate pipelines to the gulf of Oman and the Red Sea (which they have started) is just as important.

The WORLD needs to deny Iran control of the Strait by force of arms. Who? The Gulf States -- Saudis, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. Combined they have 1000-1200 combat aircraft, mostly F16, F16, and F18s from the US, along with Typhoons, Tornados, and Mirages from Europe. Let them suppress Iranian attacks -- they are all close by, they have modern US airfields, and they have skin in the game.

@unusual_whales “From sources familiar with the matter”

"The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half," per WaPo

@unusual_whales This is a rudimentary iq test; reporting from the venerable Atlantic…..

BREAKING: The Trump administration gave a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side," per the Atlantic

@_NamrokNamrok_ @PeteHegseth lol the left still can’t meme

@PeteHegseth I'm really looking forward to the next refugee crisis and the further erosion of liberty in the name of antiterrorism

Back to the Stone Age.

@WSJ @WSJopinion Article would be more believable had you mentioned the upcoming birth of dragons

From @WSJopinion: The SAVE America Act wouldn’t turn blue states red, and it can’t save Republicans from voter anger at unpopular policies. In the MAGA era, the bill could even marginally hurt the GOP. on.wsj.com/4rFJ8yt

@unusual_whales Wonder how this works out for Malaysia….

Malaysia has declared the trade deal with the U.S. invalid after the Supreme Court ruled President Donald Trump‘s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) illegal in February.

Iranian here! I want to thank American leftists for educating me these past few days & correcting my understanding of Iran & radical Islam I almost trusted my own experience, my parents’ trauma, and what my family in Iran endures daily instead of your wisdom. What would I have done without your tweets & tiktoks ❤️
