I would rather have the world's weakest military and be a member of NATO Than have the world's strongest military and go it alone. Walking away from NATO would be the single greatest national security failure in our nation's history.

Here’s what Americans don’t understand: The Iranian people AREN’T Arabs, they’re PERSIANS. Arabs are Semitic people, Persians are ARYANS. Iranians speak Farsi, an Indo-European language, NOT Arabic. These aren’t the “low-IQ sand-people” Americans were taught to hate.

🚨 Do you understand what just happened in the Supreme Court.. Trump is sitting in the front row.. watching.. as the court he built starts to rule against him.. he appointed 3 of the 9 justices.. Gorsuch.. Kavanaugh.. Barrett.. he packed that court specifically to implement his agenda.. and now that same court is "casting doubt" on his bid to end birthright citizenship.. but here's the history nobody's talking about.. birthright citizenship comes from the 14th Amendment.. ratified in 1868.. written in the aftermath of the Civil War.. and it was written for one specific reason.. in 1857 the Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott that Black Americans were not citizens.. had no rights.. and could never be citizens regardless of where they were born.. it was the worst Supreme Court decision in American history.. so after the war.. they wrote the 14th Amendment specifically so no future government could ever decide who is and isn't a citizen based on who their parents are.. the kind of thing no president could ever touch.. Trump is trying to touch it.. and the court he engineered.. the Supreme Court.. the one he spent his entire first term stacking so it would do what he wanted.. today that same court is telling him no.. he sat in the front row to watch history get made.. he just might be watching his own legacy fall apart instead.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court "casts doubt" on President Trump’s bid to roll back birthright citizenship, signaling a potential rejection of a central part of his immigration plan, per Bloomberg. President Trump is sitting in the front row of the court’s public section amid the oral arguments.

🚨 SEC. MARCO RUBIO NAILED IT ON ISLAM: "Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the West at large, but the United States in particular, as the greatest evil on the earth!" "And every chance they have, the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history." "Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate." "They want to expand. It is revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people." "And radical Islam has designs, openly, on the West, on the United States, on Europe." "We've seen that progress there as well. And they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism, in the case of Iran, nation-state actions, assass*nations, m*rders, you name it, whatever it takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination of different cultures and societies." "That's a clear and imminent threat to the world and to the broader West, but especially to the United States, who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet."

Right, the old “thousands of people could never pull any conspiracy off” bullshit. No, it only takes two to pull the wool over the eyes of the sheeple that defer to authority. Thousands within government believed and acted on the Russia collusion bullshit but only a handful knew the truth.

Yuval Levin: “The experience of working in government actually made me less cynical about politics and less prone to believe in conspiracy theories, because what you realize when you work in government is that it's just human beings all the way down. Conspiracies are just implausible.” “It can't be that, hundreds of people in the upper reaches of the government would keep this terrible secret and have this six step plan in which the American public is just a stooge. Nobody could manage that. These people don't know what they're doing tomorrow, and they don't know how to deal with the stresses they're facing right now.”

Using those specific countries may support your specious claim, but the Sunnis from the remainder of the Muslim world ARE mass migrating to the west in numbers that far surpass the Shia. Not that it matters, from a western point of view. Both sects believe the basic tenets of the same Quran and hold their prophet as the perfect Muslim example. Their problems with each other started long before the CIA came into being. Exploiting those animosities would be basic Sun Tzu philosophy. Are they not exploiting our domestic differences?

The people pretending Islam is one monolithic 'thing' and we're under threat from ALL MUSLIMS are trying to prevent you from learning what this gentleman is explaining to you in the video below. The Muslim Brotherhood [a Western intelligence agency-created and backed entity] spent the last 100 years finding the most RADICAL Shia Muslim sects and funding/arming/training them to destabilize the region and ATTACKING all their more peaceful Sunni neighbors. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE EAST UNTIL YOU LEARN THIS SHIA/SUNNI DIVIDE and how it's been DELIBERATELY EXPLOITED. Yes, Sunni states like Saudi Arabia and UAE are Sunni. [the Shia Wahabbi extremist faction in SA got taken out in 2017]. Iran and the terror groups its sponsors are Shia. The CIA and Western intel agencies have been DELIBERATELY EXPORTING not Sunni Muslims, but SHIA MUSLIMS to the West for 50+ years now. Take a wild guess why they were doing that.
Melissa Tate@TheRightMelissa

If you want to ACTUALLY know what President Trump doing in regards to Iran & the Middle East watch this brilliant explanation. Trump is a civilizational President in this ‘4th Turning’ He is reshaping the post WW2 Global Order & the Middle East from a Shai to a Suni Muslim dominated Middle East. Please don’t listen to the reductionists “Trump is just doing the bidding of Netanyahu🥴” from people who only see thing through the narrow & one dimensional “Israel bad” lens. In this video @DrTurleyTalks breaks down the difference between the rivaling Shai & Suni world views. Shai led by Iran & Suni being led by Saudi Arabia & Gulf states. Basically he makes the case that the Suni Gulf States; Saudi, UAE etc want economic prosperity (Dubai style) peace with Israel & the west while keeping their Muslim traditions & that’s they signed the Abraham accords with President Trump. These countries respect Trump because he is not trying lecture them about “democracy” or how to run their countries but he just wants to make deals that put money in their pockets & our pockets. The Shai’s lead by Iran were more interested in civilizational Jihad against the west. By taking out Asad & Ayetola, Trump has weakened this faction of Islam which will allow the Sunis lead by Saudia Arabia to rise.

A guy with a YouTube channel just accidentally redesigned the most complex machine in human history. Not an aerospace engineer. Not a SpaceX executive. A guy with a camera who asked one obvious question. Tim Dodd was walking around Starbase when Musk proudly explained how the Super Heavy booster eliminated its entire cold gas thruster system. Instead of a separate, heavy, complex mechanism, it just vents hot gas directly from the propellant tanks. Elegant. Zero added mass. Zero extra failure points. Dodd asked one question. “But this is only for the booster, right?” Musk stopped. Not to defend. Not to explain. Not to reframe the question so it didn’t threaten what he had just said. He stopped because something clicked. Musk: “Yes. Although arguably, now you mention it… we might be wise to do this for the ship, too. Now that… we’re going to fix that.” Mid-sentence. In real time. On camera. No pause to protect his pride. No deflection. No “good point, let me circle back on that.” Just the immediate, unfiltered acknowledgment that a better path existed and they were going to take it. Seven months later, Musk confirmed it was one of the biggest improvements ever made to the vehicle. Think about what just happened. To change a fundamental flight system at a legacy aerospace company requires years of environmental reviews, safety committees, and budget approvals. Musk deprecated an entire subsystem in 15 seconds because a podcaster asked the obvious question that nobody inside had dared to ask. In a traditional corporation, that cold gas system gets built anyway. Because admitting the architecture is flawed is politically expensive. The VP doesn’t want to lose the headcount. The engineers don’t want to scrap the work. The manager doesn’t want to explain the pivot to their director. And so the mistake gets a budget. Gets a timeline. Gets a team assigned to it. The machine gets heavier. The flaw becomes load-bearing. And eventually the flaw becomes so embedded in the structure that fixing it would require tearing down everything built around it. So nobody fixes it. Now think about the last time someone pointed out a flaw in something you built. Something you were proud of. Something you had already explained to twelve people without anyone questioning it. Did you stop the way Musk stopped? Or did you feel that heat in your chest. That reflexive need to explain why they were missing the point. Why the context was more complicated than they understood. Why the question, though interesting, didn’t really apply here. That heat is the most expensive thing most organizations will ever pay for. A failed launch at least tells you the truth. A defended mistake just compounds. This is the organizational architecture required to win the AI arms race. The ultimate moat isn’t compute. It isn’t capital. It is the velocity of error correction. The geopolitical AI race will not be won by whoever starts with the best blueprint. It will be won by whoever can feel that heat in their chest and choose the truth anyway. A journalist asked a question. The best answer won. The rocket got lighter. Most egos don’t.

🇬🇧Britain sent warships into Brazilian harbours. Without permission. Seized ships at anchor. In their waters. Under their flag. Brazil refused to stop the slave trade. So Parliament passed the Aberdeen Act. It authorised the Royal Navy to treat Brazilian slave ships as pirates. Anywhere. Brazil was furious. Diplomatic crisis. The Navy went anyway. Into harbours. River mouths. Ships seized. Crews arrested. Enslaved people freed. Within five years, Brazil banned slave imports. The world hated Britain for this. Ending slavery cost them trade. Cost them allies. Other empires called it interference. Britain didn't care. Be part of us: proudofus.co.uk Be proud of us. 🇬🇧

@jwslim1 @ProudofusUK The case that cemented slavery into US law was in 1655 when in New York, a former indentured labourer from Africa who had become a successful tobacco farmer petitioned the court to keep another man in permanent penury. Johnson vs Parker (Casor.)

Obviously, the abolition movement was gaining ground throughout the colonies , and the West in general, prior to independence. Based on my understanding of the British legislative timeline, it seems to this American, that the British Government didn’t get behind the anti-slavery narrative until it served as an economic weapon against the U. S.. Their first actions hurt U.S. trade and they drug their feet in their more distant colonies. History is full of inconvenient facts. The British need to own the fact that the U. S. slave trade was the British slave trade that we unfortunately inherited along with everything else. When viewed through a Global Power Balance lens, the timing of British anti-slavery legislation suggests a less-than-noble motivation. Cheers.

Not quite. The Somerset case, which ruled slavery had no basis in English law, was in 1772. Four years before American independence. The abolitionist movement was already growing before the colonies were lost. Granville Sharp was campaigning from the 1760s. The timeline doesn’t support the idea that it was a reaction to losing America. The moral case was being built independently. But it’s a fair question and worth exploring. 🇬🇧
