Can only think of George Washington’s farewell address: "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism." But that is how the game appears to have been rigged. I’ve made my choice but kudos to you offering your service and expertise to whichever side wins. #countryoverparty

@EricRWeinstein Exactly Eric. Operation Ajax was an action the British were pushing because Iran was about to nationalize their oil. @bp_plc was having none of that! Can @TuckerCarlson go down that rabbit hole? Me thinks not…

First of all: I don’t know. I clearly don’t understand this war at all. But then again I didn’t understand the “Aircraft carrier group invincibility theory” either. This war in 2026 needed to happen shortly after the 1983 Beirut Barracks Bombing, which brought suicide bombing from LTTE to the Middle East. But Iran is a serious player so we put it off and decided we didn’t know who did it exactly. Which I suspect is false. I also think Iran has been a joint U.S. / U.K. responsibility issue since Operation Boot and Operation Ajax under Kermit the Roosevelt threw Iran into decades of tyranny that continue to this day, under the Pottery Barn principle of “You break it, you bought it.” But who remembers how we got here? No one. The internet has decided “It’s Israel bro. Watch Tucker.” So, no. I don’t understand Trump, Netanyahu or Hegseth. I have no idea. Whatever I thought was wrong. My ship sailed away long ago. We got committed to this particular path by our elected leader. So be it. It’s now important not to lose. Like very extra specially doubly important. And it’s probably important to listen even more to @PalmerLuckey than I already do. And re-reread that f*****g Yeats poem for the nth time.

@EricRWeinstein Eric, four weeks, so far. are we that attention deficit that even you think that's too long to take down a regional power, who has been entrenching themselves, against the world for 47 yrs. like asking the question of why does Gaza look the way it does without understanding.

This scene from (Wonderyears) is pretty wild. If you're too young, you're too young, but this is incredible. What you are watching is an 80s democrat culture making a scene in a show to demonstrate and propagandize its people to vote democrat. However, that didn't go well because they went so far to make this scene as realistic as possible, but they also in the process illuminated the other side being normal thinking people. The democrats exposed themselves, and in the future (NOW), you and I relate more to a classical liberal than a republican or democrat. Brutal.

Correct! He never said that! He was simply pointing out that in his travels it appears many middle eastern cities are thriving because their citizens (despite their backgrounds) buy in to the culture and have faith in their system. Also pointing out the decay in Western cities where citizens are: A) apathetic B) don’t buy in to the culture and C) have no faith in their culture / system

@VigilantFox Thanks for calling this out. There is a pending Community Note on their clip, which hopefully will get enough votes to be approved.

No one else is calling this out, but I actually watched the full 5-minute video, and there’s a fake quote being spread: “Sharia Law has made Islamic societies more advanced than the West” never appears. Not even close. There’s only one instance of Sharia law in the transcript: “Saudi Arabia… It’s a country governed by Sharia law. And they’re like, that’s great. Good for you.” The phrase “more advanced” never appears either. Whether you like Tucker Carlson or not, judge what he actually said. This quote is completely made up.

TUCKER: "There's not a single Western city thats thriving" "Sharia Law has made Islamic societies more advanced than the West."

Transing children is so unthinkably sinister. The patterns should be enough to stop it. The children are mostly autistic, gay, in foster care, or abused and 60% of the mothers have a narcissistic personality. But transing children makes permanent patients for the drug companies.

🇮🇸 FRENCH DAD LOSES SON AFTER FIGHTING GENDER TREATMENT IN ICELAND A French father says Iceland’s courts cut him out after he challenged puberty blockers and hormones for his autistic 11-year-old son. Alexandre Rocha says doctors brushed past his son’s autism diagnosis and ignored his warnings about long-term harm. He says the child’s name was changed and medical choices may now be happening without him. Elon amplified the case, and Rocha says he has not seen his son since January.

@piersmorgan No according to everyone the Iranians are the only truth-tellers… and only the US negotiations are not in good faith. The west must strive to be more like Iranian leadership. Truth-telling honest negotiators. I’m channeling my inner @GadSaad

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could. Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km. This strike attempt doubles that number overnight. The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks. Look at the map. A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe. Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep. Source: @sentdefender WSJ

[ICYMI] COLUMN: President Donald Trump has seemingly turned the price of WTI crude oil into a referendum on his war against Iran. But that benchmark isn't telling the whole story. Look at refined products, and energy costs are rising rapidly. @Opinion bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@TRHLofficial @TheRabbitHole Ok Josie… When was the best period for farmers in America? @grok maybe you can chime in as well? I am legitimately curious as the Farm Bloc of America… seems to always have problems in American history…

When competition disappears, farmers don’t ship less. They just get paid less. That's the Farm Bureau's warning. History backs it up.
Defiant L’s@DefiantLs

The American Farm Bureau Federation is opposing the $85 billion Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern rail merger. They say it would leave farmers with fewer options to ship their products and drive up costs at a time when farm balance sheets are already at the breaking point.
