@laaleen Seriously. All the panic merchants sound the same now. Same style of writing... even the paragraph divisions!!

Using ChatGPT to tweet and comment doesn’t make you clever

@eurofounder You’re hilarious and people just don’t get satire

My wife collapsed in our hotel room in New York today “Call an ambulance, I can’t breathe” she was screaming My heart dropped If she ends up in an American hospital we are financially ruined I went on the Lufthansa app to book a flight back to Frankfurt, but unfortunately pilots are on strike today “Please I’m begging you” she was lying on the floor I sighed and called 911 She is now in surgery as apparently her appendix “almost burst” I am extremely scared This is going to cost us at least $100,000 She could have received much better care, for free, in Germany I will never visit this barbaric country ever again

🇱🇧 (EN/FR/NL) I came to Beirut today to show our full support to the Lebanese authorities and to express our deep solidarity with the families affected by the violent conflict opposing Israel to Hezbollah. Just before I was commending President Aoun for offering to open official negotiations with Israel towards a ceasefire, Israel launched, with no previous warning, one of the most massive strikes since the beginning of the hostilities, allegedly causing hundreds of civilian victims. We were at the embassy with my delegation, just a few hundred metres from where the missiles struck. This must stop. The ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran must include Lebanon!  —— Je suis venu aujourd’hui à Beyrouth pour manifester notre soutien total aux autorités libanaises et exprimer notre profonde solidarité avec les familles touchées par le violent conflit qui oppose Israël au Hezbollah. Peu avant de féliciter le président Aoun d’avoir proposé d’entamer des négociations officielles avec Israël en vue d’un cessez-le-feu, Israël a lancé, sans aucun avertissement préalable, l’une des frappes les plus massives depuis le début des hostilités, qui aurait fait des centaines de victimes civiles. Nous étions à l'ambassade avec ma délégation, à quelques centaines de mètres seulement de l'endroit où les missiles ont frappé. Cela doit cesser. Le cessez-le-feu entre les États-Unis, Israël et l'Iran doit inclure le Liban ! —— Ik ben vandaag naar Beiroet gekomen om onze volledige steun te betuigen aan de Libanese autoriteiten en om onze diepe solidariteit te betuigen met de families die getroffen zijn door het gewelddadige conflict tussen Israël en Hezbollah. Net toen ik president Aoun prees voor zijn aanbod om officiële onderhandelingen met Israël te starten met het oog op een staakt-het-vuren, lanceerde Israël zonder enige voorafgaande waarschuwing een van de zwaarste aanvallen sinds het begin van de vijandelijkheden, waarbij naar verluidt honderden burgerslachtoffers zijn gevallen. We waren met mijn delegatie in de ambassade, op slechts een paar honderd meter van de plek waar de raketten insloegen. Dit moet stoppen. Het staakt-het-vuren tussen de VS, Israël en Iran moet ook Libanon omvatten! @BelgiumMFA @BelgiumLebanon

🔴 Le New York Times vient de publier le récit le plus accablant sur Trump depuis le début de la guerre. Et c'est une bombe. Jonathan Swan et Maggie Haberman, deux journalistes de la Maison Blanche, révèlent comment Trump a pris la décision d'entrer en guerre contre l'Iran. Ce qu'ils décrivent est exactement ce que j'analyse dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche. Voici les faits. Netanyahu a vendu un rêve. Le 11 février, dans la Situation Room, le Premier ministre israélien a présenté un scénario en quatre actes : tuer le Guide Suprême, détruire l'armée iranienne, déclencher une révolution populaire, installer un nouveau régime. Il a même montré une vidéo de montage avec les "futurs dirigeants" de l'Iran. Trump a répondu : "Sounds good to me." En une phrase, il venait de sceller le destin de la région. Le lendemain, la CIA a dit que c'était du vent. Les parties 3 et 4 du pitch de Netanyahu, la révolution populaire et le changement de régime, ont été qualifiées de "farce" par Ratcliffe lui-même. Rubio a traduit : "In other words, it's bullshit." Le général Caine a ajouté : "C'est la procédure standard des Israéliens. Ils survendent, et leurs plans ne sont pas toujours bien développés." Trump a entendu. Et il a quand même dit oui. Vance a tout vu. Le vice-président était le seul dans la pièce à s'opposer frontalement, avertissant que la guerre pourrait "détruire la coalition politique de Trump", que le Détroit d'Ormuz était le vrai point de vulnérabilité, que personne ne pouvait prédire les représailles iraniennes quand la survie d'un régime était en jeu. Il a dit : "Tu sais que je pense que c'est une mauvaise idée. Mais si tu veux le faire, je te soutiendrai." Ce n'est pas du courage politique. C'est de la déférence. Susie Wiles a regardé. La cheffe de cabinet, qui avait des inquiétudes, a estimé que ce n'était "pas son rôle" de s'exprimer sur une décision militaire devant les autres. Elle a "encouragé les conseillers à partager leurs vues." Elle s'est tue. Le général Caine n'a jamais dit non. Il a exposé les risques : diminution des stocks de munitions, Détroit d'Ormuz, pas de voie claire vers la victoire. Puis il a dit : "Si vous ordonnez l'opération, l'armée exécutera." Trump, lui, "entendait seulement ce qu'il voulait entendre." Et Trump a signé à bord d'Air Force One, 22 minutes avant la deadline fixée par son propre général : "Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck." Voilà comment on entre en guerre au XXIe siècle. Pas avec une délibération solennelle. Pas avec un vote du Congrès. Pas avec une stratégie de sortie. Avec un slide show de Netanyahu, un "sounds good to me", et une note envoyée depuis un avion. Dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche, j'écris que les vrais décideurs sont ceux qui préparent les présentations que Trump regarde. Netanyahu l'a compris mieux que quiconque. Il a mis en scène une heure de spectacle visuel dans la Situation Room avec Mossad en fond d'écran, des vidéos de "futurs dirigeants", une promesse de victoire rapide et propre. Et Trump a dit oui. Pendant que Vance, Rubio, Wiles et Caine regardaient. Voici l'article du New-York Times : nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/… 📖 Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche → amazon.fr/dp/B0GPCCMS68/

🚨Getty Images caption for a Jeffrey Epstein photo reads: "Epstein was convicted of having sex with an underaged woman." A child is not a "woman." And "having sex with" is not how you describe the abuse and/or rape of a child or minor. This isn't a typo. It's a framing choice, and it's the kind of linguistic normalization that has shielded predators for decades. Who approved this copy, @GettyImages?

@TheDubaiDivots @simeonkerr @FT Mostly temporary. People don’t necessarily leave willingly either. Some let go from work.

@simeonkerr @FT Here we go again, nothing to say if these are permanent or temporary departures. A somewhat sensationalist headline.

@PromoterBoxing @SpencerHakimian Where did the anglicised word God come from @grok if Elaha/Alaha is Aramaic

@SpencerHakimian Didn’t Jesus Christ called God “Alaha” in Aramaic? Grok it if you don’t believe Me!

Zohran Mamdani Praising Jesus. Donald Trump Praising Allah. Easter 2026.

JUST IN: Iran’s Foreign Minister posted five sentences on X on April 4 that should have stopped every government in the Gulf. “Israel-U.S. have bombed our Bushehr plant four times now. Radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran.” He compared it to Western outrage over Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine and accused the attackers of double standards. The IAEA confirmed the fourth strike: a projectile hit near the site, one guard killed, a support building damaged. No radiation increase was detected. The containment held. This time. The physics of why the fallout would reach Riyadh and not Tehran is geography that no amount of diplomacy can change. Bushehr sits on the Persian Gulf coast at 28 degrees north. Tehran is 750 kilometres inland, shielded by the Zagros Mountains. The prevailing winter winds blow from the northwest to the southeast, directly across the Gulf toward the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. The anticlockwise surface currents of the Gulf carry waterborne radionuclides westward and northwestward toward the head of the Gulf, reaching Kuwait and Bahrain within approximately 15 days according to peer-reviewed hydrodynamic simulations. Atmospheric dispersion models run 3,652 HYSPLIT simulations for a Bushehr release scenario and found that deposition exceeding relocation thresholds reached Gulf coastal areas with low but non-zero probability. The plume does not go north. It goes west. The reactor sits on Iran’s coast but the fallout belongs to the Gulf. This matters because the Gulf states get their drinking water from the Gulf. Qatar relies on desalination for 99 percent of its supply. Kuwait and Bahrain for 90 percent. Saudi Arabia for 70. The UAE for 42. Desalination plants draw intake directly from the Gulf. If that water carries Caesium-137 or Iodine-131, the plants shut down or the output is contaminated. Gulf states maintain roughly one week of strategic water reserves. A Bushehr breach would not produce a Chernobyl explosion. It would produce something the models describe as worse for the region: a slow, invisible contamination of the water supply that 60 million people depend on, arriving by current over two weeks, with seven days of reserves to outlast it. The countries that would be contaminated are the same countries hosting the forces conducting the strikes. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar launches the sorties. Al Dhafra in the UAE stages the overflow troops sleeping in hotels. Bahrain’s 5th Fleet headquarters coordinates the naval component. Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base, where an E-3 AWACS was destroyed on the ground by Iranian fire on March 27, sits in the Eastern Province that the fallout models identify as a primary deposition zone. The allies are hosting the bombers. The bombers are hitting the reactor. The reactor sits on the coast of the water the allies drink. And the enemy is the one warning them. Araghchi’s message was not aimed at Washington. It was aimed at Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, Manama, and Kuwait City. The subtext is not subtle: you are hosting the war that could poison your water. The IAEA says no radiation has been released. The containment has held through four strikes. But containment is engineering, not physics. Engineering can fail. And when Araghchi says “not Tehran,” he is stating a geographic fact that the Gulf Cooperation Council cannot dismiss regardless of how many times the IAEA says the readings are normal. The reactor is not near Tehran. It is near them. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@OunkaOnX @zarmeeneh lol why does this sound like Eminem

Nobody trolls Trump like Iran

@L39561Lewis @LBGamestips Yes belief in Jesus, Abraham, Moses, etc.

@LBGamestips Yes we hold his mother in very high respect also. If you’re familiar with the Bible and read the Quran you will know in your heart it’s the word of God. A continuation of facts of what happened. The Quran gives many accounts of Jesus life and Mary his mother.

Iran 🇮🇷 is crazy bro 😂😂😂😂 Iran 🇮🇷 dedicated one of its ballistic missiles at Israel to Jesus Christ, liters bro 😂😂😂 And they inscribed it, “In revenge for all Christ’s suffering.” A Muslim country bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂

OH. MY. GOD. There it is… from his mouth 🚨 Netanyahu Funded Hamas $35M a Month via Qatar, using U.S. Tax Dollars, and tells Investigators: “This is confidential and can’t be leaked, okay? We have neighbors here, sworn enemies. I’m constantly passing them messages. I confuse them, mislead them, lie to them, and then HIT them over their heads.” • Netanyahu worked to keep GAZA under the control of HAMAS. And keep the West Bank under the control of the Fatah with the goal of preventing them from ever being united. • Netanyahu arranged for Hamas to receive $35 Million Dollars every month from Qatar —— suitcases of $35M in American currency, every single month. “Because the Qatar knew him, they made him put the request in writing because they knew he was going to lie in the future.” 🤯 The result? $1+ BILLION went into the hands of Hamas… fast forward — October 7.

Israel killed a beloved Priest in Lebanon in their vicious bombing campaign in Christian villages. Christians are gathered to mourn the death of Father Pierre El-Rahi. America must stop funding, providing weapons, and aiding Israel’s attacks on innocent people and children.
