@ericmidwest @Rach_IC @PineRestGR I hope you brought a bat

My Tesla has been getting vandalized in Grandville Michigan over and over again. Today I caught them. Truly possessed people. They work for @PineRestGR

@tom_paine1737 @YObscurities @phl43 Can we stick to reality. Any metric you want. Patents and inventions, innovation, wealth, company capitalization. Give me one sign of hope for Europe or Canada.

@YObscurities @billpu63 @phl43 Not to mention that the Republicans are gutting government funding of science, which is one of the things that has led to American greatness.

I still can't believe that MAGA has literally reached the stage of Europe Derangement Syndrome where people argue that Americans and Israelis, who are currently threatening to destroy the material basis of modern civilization in Iran, are morally superior to Europeans because they *checks notes* bury their dead, something Europeans would apparently never understand 😂

@SaltyGoat17 I would trade it as a chip with Russia. In return they give back the land they took. That would be a win win for everyone

I have a feeling Trump is about to remove us from NATO. Everyone cool with that?

@TheIranWatcher For whom the bell tolls….

🚨 One of Iraq’s most prolific and high-profile Shia terrorist has reportedly arrived in Tehran. Abu Azrael, IRGC-linked militia commander and loyalist to Khamenei and the Islamic Republic, is now in Tehran coordinating with the regime against Iranian unrest and preparing for potential U.S. ground deployment. A former fighter against U.S. forces in 2003, he later rose through Iran-backed militias operating in Iraq and Syria. Famous for videos showing him using swords, axes, and fire on captives. He bragged about “spit-roasting” ISIS fighters, burning bodies, slicing charred corpses “like shawarma,” and his motto “Illa tahin” (“I’ll grind you to dust” / “nothing but flour”). Even his own militia (Kataib al-Imam Ali) disavowed him at one point over a video of him burning a dead fighter. He built his reputation on sectarian violence, with documented involvement in executions, abuse of detainees, destruction of civilian areas, and publicly glorifying the desecration of bodies. PMF units tied to him have been accused by human rights groups of looting, forced displacement, and targeting Sunni communities during operations. The man who fought Americans in Iraq is now in Tehran. It would be poetic and amazing if he is killed in Iran by Americans.

@phl43 This is what they said be about the Iraqi Republican Guard before we bulldozed them in their trenches in less than a day. Stop listening to these yodel heads.

The operation to rescue the airman who ejected over Iran was impressive, but if Americans think it's the same thing as the plan that was floated recently to recover the HEU that is buried deep into a mountain at a site where the Iranians are expecting them, they're in for one hell of a surprise. Fortunately for them, I doubt the people in the Pentagon are as stupid as social media cretins, so I'm guessing they understand the difference and will plan accordingly.

@ProfessorPape The “Iran War”… Iran was knocked out in the first round. This is just grappling waiting for them to tap out.

In my new piece in The New York Times today, I argue the Iran war has reached a point Washington still refuses to say out loud: either the U.S. escalates to a ground war—or Iran emerges as a new center of global power. Think about—what stops this future? nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

@monsterhunter45 @Danny__Hoffman @ddowell327 Cheap defense from the US, cheap energy from Russia, cheap goods from China. Those are the magic ingredients that keep the EU functional. Trump kicked their legs out from under them and they hate him for it.

@Danny__Hoffman @ddowell327 And yet these fuckers have been buying their energy from Russia the whole time funding the whole thing, and somehow that's our fault.

X today- Americans saying they are tired of subsidizing our NATO allies to pay for their good time- Europeans respond by saying Americans are crass, stupid, barbaric, loser idiots who should shut up and keep paying for Europe’s national defense because they’ve got free government healthcare and magic unicorn renewable energy which makes them superior, while Americans are all fat and have school shootings. We don’t need you uncultured American swine, because we’ve got two whole working ships and four and a half airplanes, and that’s plenty since we aren’t warmongers like you American trash. So yeah, that’s totally gonna sway some Americans right there. Good luck with that.

@StopAntisemites @wajacobson This is where @peterboghossian is wrong. This happened because they have no fear of repercussions. 20 years ago they would have received a quick punch in the nose.

NYC - Mental health provider Jennifer Koonings filmed herself shouting antisemitic slurs - "baby killers" and "f*ck Israel" - at Jewish individuals peacefully going about their day. This isn’t a lapse in judgment. It raises serious concerns about her fitness to treat patients, especially Jewish clients. She's affiliated with Inspire Mental Health Services.

@ResisttheMS #AidandComfort

RO KHANNA: "Let me tell you what won't reopen the Strait of Hormuz - threatening war crimes of bombing indiscriminately power plants, cursing at Iran." "What we need is statesmanship like President Obama had."

@ConceptualJames The woke right are the pre modern equivalent of the post modernists in the left

Which is a more reliable explanation for the Woke Right phenomenon?

BREAKING: Ahmed Jarallah, Kuwaiti Journalist: "America is not our enemy, Iran is. Iran is ruled by a 'sick Satan,' and the world will finish him off. The U.S. entered the conflict because Iran bragged it would destroy America and Israel."

It might be because they watched their friends massacred at a music festival.

@Michael_Yon @JimFergusonUK Another one who lost it

@JimFergusonUK Iranians will not surrender to a Great Satan-Epstein Island Kult. Though many Americans have.

🚨 WHEN THE CLOCK HITS ZERO — “HELL WILL BE UNLEASHED” President Trump has issued a direct ultimatum. A fixed deadline now looms. DEADLINE TIMES: UK: 1:00 AM Eastern (ET): 8:00 PM Pacific (PT): 5:00 PM Central Europe: 2:00 AM Iran: 4:30 AM UAE: 4:00 AM “Open the Strait… or hell will be unleashed.” No more warnings. No more delays. Energy routes. Critical infrastructure. Targets already signalled. The world is now watching the clock. And when it runs out— Everything changes. Tick Tock..... I hope everyone is getting your preparations underway! Don't Be Scared. Be Prepared.

@SpencerGuard Iran was knocked out in the first round. At this juncture we are tuning them up until they tap out.

To be clear, the U.S. and Israel established Air Superiority over Iran within the opening days of Operation Epic Fury and have maintained it ever since. U.S. forces have flown over 13,000 combat flights (combat sorties) in support of Operation Epic Fury since began. Thus far, 1 × F-15E Strike Eagle and 1 × A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) have been downed by enemy fire. That is 0.0154% ... historic Air Superiority. Air superiority vs supremacy. U.S. military doctrinal definitions: Air superiority - That degree of dominance in the air battle by one force that permits the conduct of its operations at a given time and place without prohibitive interference from air and missile threats. Air supremacy - That degree of air superiority wherein the opposing force is incapable of effective interference within the operational area using air and missile threats. Explanation: Air superiority means you can operate, but under risk. The U.S. has enough control of the air domain to conduct missions without prohibitive interference. The enemy can still contest. They may still shoot, still fly, still disrupt. But they cannot stop the U.S. or Israel from accomplishing their mission. Think of it as dominance with friction. Air supremacy is a different condition entirely. It is not just control. It is the near elimination of meaningful opposition. The enemy is incapable of effective interference. Their aircraft are destroyed, grounded, or irrelevant. Their integrated air defenses are suppressed or rendered ineffective. Their ability to contest the air domain is functionally gone. This is dominance without meaningful friction.

@RogerPielkeJr @BjornLomborg It is actually one of the movies on Delta.

Just published The Legacy of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" 20 Years Later Gore to climate scientists: "Start getting involved in politics." Boy, did they listen. Link in reply

I envy the Israeli left. Not their politics. Their freedom. They march through Tel Aviv calling their own country an apartheid state. They go on CNN and call the IDF war criminals. They write op-eds in Haaretz comparing Israel to the worst regimes in history. They join NGOs funded by hostile governments to produce reports designed to delegitimize the Jewish state. And then they go home. Sleep in their beds. Send their kids to school the next morning. No one threatens their family. No one disappears them in the night. No one drags them from their home. Zero consequences. Now imagine, just imagine, if Iranians had 1% of that freedom. If an Egyptian columnist could criticize Sisi the way Gideon Levy criticizes Netanyahu. If a Palestinian in Ramallah could call Abbas corrupt on live TV and walk home safely. If someone in Gaza could have held a sign saying "Hamas does not speak for me" without being executed. The Middle East would be unrecognizable. The great irony is that the people who enjoy more political freedom than virtually anyone else in the region use that freedom to paint Israel as a tyranny while the actual tyrannies they're silent about would imprison or kill them for doing the same. You're not brave. You're spoiled. You mistake comfort for conscience. You scream "genocide" into a microphone the state itself protects, then sleep soundly in a democracy you spend your days trying to destroy, while millions across this region would trade everything they have for five minutes of the freedom you use to spit on your own country.

@AntSpeaks @ConceptualJames Funny because when Rogan interviewed Candace, although he tried to hide it, it was obvious he thought she was a dipshit.

Theo Von on Instagram: "Grateful I got to spend Easter with my friends. Thank you God for filling my day with so many wonderful people. And thank you for giving me a place to bring the parts of me that feel broken." Here is one of the pictures of some of the people who were present 👇. Do you think it is a coincidence that Theo holds the skewed geopolitical opinions he does when Candace is among the people he calls “wonderful” and thanks God for? As for Brett Cooper, I will never understand this blind loyalty toward Candace. It goes beyond simply having a differing opinion. Brett, Theo, they are free to keep company with whoever they choose, but I suspect there will come a moment when they will have no choice but to confront their blind loyalty to a woman who calls everything she dislikes “satanic,” generalises entire groups of people, and has even gone so far as to blame that group of people for the transatlantic slave trade, along with other clearly insanely distorted perceptions of reality.

@RyanRadia @nikitabier @NateSilver538 Impossible. Subscription companies lie about their numbers because it allows them to increase advertising costs. They usually don’t remove names once the subscription runs out

@nikitabier @NateSilver538 About 1 in 12 U.S. households has an NYT digital subscription

It's not my data. The source is Cluvio, which is linked to in the article. I'd link to it in this tweet, but ironically, that would kill engagement. And I know that traffic is hard to count. Especially for a private company. But if you have more accurate data, then publish it.

@djangofella @phl43 Yes that’s why every South American country doing well is looking in our direction. We are slowly driving China out. Reality is what we are seeing in Argentina, San Salvador, Honduras, Paraguay, Bolivia. Etc.

@billpu63 @phl43 South America hates you. You spent decades toppling governments to install pro-American dictators. Eastern Europe hates you for siding with Russia over Ukraine. You last allies in the middle east are facing economical collapse because of your war. You dont have any allies left.
