@TonyLaneNV Excellent way to educate thieves. Don’t steal, don’t get pepper sprayed. She will live, and learn a valuable lesson. More of this please.
English

A woman was pepper sprayed by a 7-Eleven employee in South Central LA after allegedly trying to walk out without paying for an item.
The video is sparking debate online - was this a justified response to theft, or did the employee go too far?
Retail theft has become a major issue for store workers across the country, but using pepper spray on a customer raises serious questions about liability and proportional response.
Where do you land on this one?

@SecScottBessent @realDonaldTrump Safe now includes negotiating with terrorists who slaughter their own people? Got it…
You don’t get it, you just emboldened the Islamic regime. They got exactly what they wanted. Unconditional surrender or destruction was the only win.
America is less safe today.
English

President @realDonaldTrump continues to make the world safer, today reaching a historic peace deal with Iran.
His leadership, along with his direct engagement with allies and adversaries alike, will be recorded in history books for centuries to come.

English

@EricLDaugh Put whatever adjectives you want before “deal.” It doesn’t change the fact that there are no “deals” with Islam. We are not the same. Agreements mean absolutely nothing to them. The Islamic regime has one goal, & it does not include peace with us.
America is less safe today.
English

🚨 JUST IN: Iran did NOT GET what they wanted in President Trump's strong Iran deal — the US is NOT leaving the region, and Iran is getting $0 in unfrozen assets unless they comply
The Strait of Hormuz is set to OPEN fully on FRIDAY 👏🏻
"They wanted US forces to leave the Middle East and abandon all bases. That's not going to happen...even if there is a drawdown of the military, there will still be thousands of forces prepared."
"There is this economic leverage, they won't get sanctions relief they want and need if the US doesn't get everything they want." @TreyYingst
English

@GuntherEagleman How bout cue the non sycophant right?
Since when does “winning” a war looking anything like this embarrassment?
Trump had a chance to actually win & he failed to finish the job. Period…
Complete destruction or unconditional surrender of the Islamist regime was the only win.
English

President Trump told the New York Times the deal allows Iran to enrich uranium for non-military purposes. Cue the left and Obama rushing in to cast doubt, claiming it's "not significantly different" from his old deal that got ripped up.
Fox's Marc Thiessen just torched that narrative:
"It's the exact same deal... except for the 14,000 military strikes that buried their entire nuclear program under rubble so deep the Iranians can't even reach it.
We destroyed 82% of their defense industrial base.
Sunk their entire Navy.
Grounded their entire Air Force.
And oh yeah, the Ayatollah, Qasem Soleimani, and the top two tiers of their leadership are DEAD.
Other than that... totally the same as Obama's deal 😂"
HUGE differences:
Strait of Hormuz traffic resuming after the blockade is lifted
Nuclear "dust" from Operation Midnight Hammer being removed in the next 60 days
Sanctions relief only as they comply (performance-based)
Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon
Trump didn't just sign a piece of paper, he broke their regime's back first, then negotiated from overwhelming strength. Obama gave them cash and breathing room. Trump gave them rubble and reality.
This is what winning looks like.
English

@WolfgangRichtEU You, sir, are an idiot. If this were true, why has a government that has spent $40 trillion failed to eliminate poverty or create a utopia, yet somehow confiscating less than $200 billion from one person would magically accomplish it? Just more leftist “progressive” delusions.
English

Elon Musk has become a trillionaire. If we confiscated just 15% of his wealth we could: clean up all the oceans, eliminate poverty, and literally make the world into a utopia.
Instead he chooses to indulge in his phallic obsession with rockets and wants to build data centers in space. You cant even move electricity from space to earth. Dumbest idea ever.
All the best,
Wolfgang

@Pontifex Bob, Jesus didn’t come merely to sympathize with humanity’s burdens. He came to save sinners from Gods wrath through His death & resurrection. You reduce the gospel to compassion & social renewal while obscuring repentance, faith, & Christ’s FINISHED work. That is not the Gospel.
English

Having become our brother, the Son of God looks at the people; He looks at humanity and sees the oppression that burdens and the violence that causes strength to fade. He sees the wounds of war and the emptiness of consumerism. He sees faces reduced to masks, families torn apart by evil, and young people misled by false ideals. Jesus sees and loves. He loves and suffers for and with us: His compassion expresses not only fraternal closeness, but His desire to redeem. #GospelOfToday (Mt 9:36 – 10:8)
English

@kayleighmcenany Well gee, I guess if they sign a piece of paper saying so. It is absurd to pretend a “deal” means anything to the Iranian regime. They demonstrate their tactics of Islamic deception over & over, yet somehow, even at the highest levels of our government, we never learn the lesson.
English

🚨 FROM A SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL ON IRAN:
Do we have a deal yet? "No, but we are very close." The official estimates that a deal is 75% there, not 100% yet.
"While this is tentative, we feel confident that we will be signing this in the next few days.”
We have agreed to the concepts and the details, but the deal is NOT done until we sign it.
WHAT IS IN THE DEAL:
(1) The highly enriched uranium will be destroyed — “The deal accomplishes that."
(2) There is a long-term commitment that Iran cannot procure a nuclear weapon.
(3) There is a meaningful inspection process.
(4) Iran cannot fund terrorism as we work toward broader peace in the Middle East.
(5) The Hormuz Strait will be open.
Assets ARE NOT immediately unfrozen. Iran MUST meet its commitments first.
English

@JDVance @WhiteHouse The continued talk of “deals” with Islamist terror regimes is sickening. Unconditional surrender of the regime & its revolutionary’s or their total destruction, is the only path forward. Not only for America’s safety, but for Iranians suffering under brutal Islamic sharia rule.
English

I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace.
I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts.
The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.
English

@simonateba @elonmusk That is a vile display of envy & covetousness. Sir, you need a serious spiritual heart check.
English

Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, @elonmusk has just now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?

English

Christian friends, please stop calling Christians “Protestants.” The term exists only in response to Rome. No born-again believer should ground any part of their identity in relation to Rome, but in Christ alone. Oppose all false religion & call sinners to repent & trust in Him.
Bryan of Alexandria ✠🕊️@DBryanRhodes
Protestant friends. Please stop calling the Roman Catholics "Catholics." We are catholics. I humbly suggest Romanist Papist Or just Roman Catholic.
English

@oldglstuf @elonmusk That’s cool. Point is, I’ve never once curbed a car. In one update 14.3.2 to 14.3.3 it immediately curbed me two seconds after pushing “Start self driving”. Faster than I could even stop it. It was a bad update. Hopefully this fixes whatever that was.
English

There are no “deals” with Islamic terrorist regimes. History has proven time and again that they understand one language, and it isn’t diplomacy or dealmaking. If this actually happens, it will be a mistake of epic proportions, and America will be less safe as a result.
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says he is "VERY CONFIDENT" that this deal WILL go through, and the Supreme Leader of Iran has PERSONALLY approved it The US naval blockade will IMMEDIATELY be lifted as soon as the peace agreement is signed. "Iran will NOT have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that." "They will not only not have, they will not purchase, develop in any way, shape or form a nuclear weapon. They will NOT have a nuclear weapon." "It'll be SOON. Maybe this weekend!"
English

@UTdBankole @elonmusk Don’t go for anything but long range dual motor whichever you choose.
English

@TechOperator And this is definitely helping it along much faster. LOL! I haven’t pumped a drop of gas in years. We charge both of our Teslas 100% from the sun. I couldn’t imagine going back to literally burning money.

English

Dear anti-EV crowd. I drove gas vehicles for 30 years. I attended car shows. I've modified engines and suspensions. I'm a Mustang Club of America-certified national car show judge. I still love classic muscle.
I also used to love making mixed tapes, visiting Blockbuster on Saturday nights, or shopping for new music at Sam Goody. I was a photographer and spent a lot of time and money on film and developing.
At the same time, I was one of the first to rip my music to MP3s, upgrade my internet connection to stream video, and own one of the first Sony digital cameras.
And here we are again on the cusp of change. EVs are here for the masses, and the market will drive the change because EVs are better all-around vehicles for most people. Gas vehicles will be obsolete in another decade or two.
Luckily for you, you don't have to change now. Nor should you be forced to. Gas vehicles will be around long enough to meet your needs or driving preferences until you are ready, and I'm thankful for that.
But you see, I don't need your battery-fire warnings, comments about pumping gas in 5 minutes, or selective outrage about rare-earth mineral mining posted from your mobile phone.
The ICE age is drawing to a close. Legacy auto and dealerships are on borrowed time. The automotive industry is ripe for massive disruption, and many people don't see it coming. But it's coming; you can’t stop it.

English

@Pontifex Bob, wars cease when sinners are reconciled to God through the true gospel, not when humanity is reconciled to itself through religious sentiment. You keep preaching a horizontal peace while obscuring the vertical reconciliation found in Christ alone. Repent & believe the Gospel.
English

Let us remember that we are the living presence of the Lord in the world. Enkindled by the charity of Christ's Heart, let us bear witness to His mercy and peace, so that wars may cease in the world and a new humanity may rise up around us, reconciled in love. #ApostolicJourney

@KristenWaggoner @ADFLegal Wring them dry! Severe, painful consequences are the only way this insanity stops. Every official who would even consider allowing this needs a clear reference point for exactly why they cannot. Demand terminations without severance or pension as part of any settlement agreement.

This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match.
Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong.
Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety. 🧵⬇️
