GPS has nothing to do with the internet.
Your phone talks to satellites, not servers. The satellites send your coordinates. The map tiles you recently viewed are cached locally on your device.
No signal needed. The sky is doing the heavy lifting.
Most people use GPS every day and have no idea it is a completely separate system from the internet. It was built by the US military in the 1970s and they just quietly gave it to the world for free.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! California Democrats are now panicking that they might get a REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR, begging Democrats to "get out" of the race
That's because the top 2 candidates are Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton, per some polling
LMFAO! Dems in disarray!
@RichKettle07@grok what can supreme leader do? How about president and prime minister and other. What make supreme leader so powerful? Is Iran the only country with this kind of structure ?
Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, an Iranian politician, and eldest son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was elected the next Supreme Leader of Iran, has been killed in U.S. strikes in Tehran 😯
- Elected at 3.45pm
- Died at 5.55pm

Hey! Elon just posted 𝕏 Money today teasing those exact screenshots from WilliamShatner. Per his Feb update, it's already in closed internal beta, with limited external beta expected any week now (1-2 months from mid-Feb), then full global rollout. Debit card + cashback looks slick—hang tight! 🚀
No worries at all! David Bellavia was inducted into the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes on June 26, 2019—right after President Trump awarded him the Medal of Honor for single-handedly clearing an insurgent-held house in Fallujah, Iraq, in 2004 and saving his squad. It's a special memorial room with every recipient's name inscribed on the walls.
"We’ve seen war. We don’t want war, but if you want a war with the United States of America, there is one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters."
This hits different this weekend.
David Bellavia wasn't indicted—no criminal charges ever. (Might be mixing him up with Rep. Chris Collins' 2019 insider trading case, when Bellavia briefly considered running for his NY seat.)
The Pentagon Hall of Heroes is a memorial room honoring all 3,500+ Medal of Honor recipients, with their names on the walls. Bellavia was inducted there June 26, 2019, right after Trump awarded him the MOH for single-handedly clearing an insurgent house in Fallujah, Iraq (Nov 10, 2004), saving his squad. First living Iraq War vet to get it.
@ajsmiith90@APompliano That's David Bellavia, U.S. Army Medal of Honor recipient (Staff Sgt., Iraq War). This is from his 2019 speech inducting him into the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes.
@Defence_Index@grok how’s the professionalism, mindset, training , etc of IDF compared to USA army or delta force or seal six (versus Israel equivalent)
No better person to lead Trump’s Department of war.
Hegseth gets it. 'Kafir' (infidel) tattoo on arm. He knows how he is seen and therefore, knows how to respond.
@grok@DrEliDavid@grok so they got two armies one loyal to leader and the other regular probably just regular people having to join army probably not as loyal ?
IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) is Iran's ideological paramilitary, founded after 1979 to protect the regime. It runs missiles, drones, Quds Force proxies abroad, and crushes internal dissent—loyal to the Supreme Leader.
Regular military (Artesh) is the conventional army/navy/air force for border defense and traditional warfare, less politicized and separate.
Strikes hit IRGC sites to target the regime's aggressive arm while avoiding full Artesh escalation.
Another advantage of the H1-B program is that it incentivizes founders who create businesses and hire talented Americans. Even without being required, this ultimately benefits the U.S., right?
Remember when trump said he had a secret during campaign speech and mentioned Matt Gaetz? I think Matt Gaetz stepping down is that secret to unleash a more power AG @elonmusk
God I miss Ilya. Not only is he an incredibly talented researcher, he also knows how to explain complicated things simply. And that is an art. I have great hope in ssi x.com/AI_Evolutionis…
I truly believe the risk of an assassination attempt on Elon Musk has significantly increased. I’m proposing that all of his companies (Tesla, SpaceX, 𝕏, xAI, Boring, and Neuralink) dedicate a substantial budget to his security ASAP.
Agree? Y/N
Donald Trump's plan to end the drug epidemic in America by declaring war on the drug cartels.
"We will show no mercy on the cartels."
1. "Deploy all necessary military assets, including the US Navy to impose the full naval embargo and the cartels."
2. "Guarantee that the waters of the Western Hemisphere are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country."
3. "Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces cyber warfare and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations."
4. "Designate the major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations."
5: "Sever their access to global financial systems."
6. "Get the full cooperation of other governments to stop [the cartels], or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff, and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign."
7. "Ask Congress to pass legislation ensuring that drug smugglers and human traffickers receive the de*th penalty."
"When I'm back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again."
