I'm trying to imagine Muslim kids chanting something similar about the Jewish or Christian faiths at a rally in London. The Prevent folks, counter-terrorism police, the entire British media would be all over the story, asking why Muslims are so extreme & brainwashing their kids.

Bengali culture is popular world over and Sweden is no exception. During the community welcome, in which PM Kristersson was also present, a glimpse of the glorious Bengali culture was on display.

This has to be one of the most horrifying headlines I’ve ever seen. Not all cultures are equal.

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

Tim Dillon on America: “We’re not the high school bully anymore. We’re the weird kid who may have a gun. We’re not the bully, we’re not the jock, we’re not the quarterback. This is not Top Gun, we are not Tom Cruise. We’re the college kid who keeps going to the high school parties. We’re a pedophile and we may have a gun”

Spencer Pratt’s $5 million Santa Barbara beachfront rental appears to be family owned by Pratt’s own family. 🧵

NO GAMES.

Why is there suddenly such an aggressive push against American data centers and AI infrastructure? After seeing a major spike in coordinated opposition campaigns around our Utah projects, we conducted a digital audit and traced a large amount of the activity back to an organization called Alliance for a Better Utah, which has been pushing misinformation throughout Box Elder County about our data center developments. What’s even more concerning is where the funding appears to originate. After reviewing IRS Form 990 filings and tracing the network behind it, the money appears tied to Chinese linked funding channels connected through an organization called Arabella. Think about the incentive, if China is racing to dominate AI and compute capacity, why wouldn’t they want to slow American infrastructure down?

Trump on Chinese students in American universities: "If you want to see a university system die, take half a million people out of it. They would be dying all over the place. I frankly think it's good that people come from other countries and learn our culture."

I know the influencer accounts are busy posting fire emojis, but this China trip looks like a dud. We got a non-binding Boeing order, less than half its original size, and some vagaries about soy beans. China got profuse praise, concessions on trade, support for buying our farmland and 500,000 student visas, AI chips, and the softening of demands around Iran. Sorry, I can't lie to you and tell you this was a good result. Scream at me if you must.

How exactly is Israel our greatest ally? Specifically, what have they done to earn that title? Israel has not deployed troops alongside US forces in any conflict since its founding in 1948. Israel is by far the single largest recipient of American foreign aid in our history. Adjusting for inflation, US aid to Israel from 1951 to 2022 totaled $317.9 billion, making it the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II. Why don't we worry about fixing problems for everyday Americans instead of paving their streets with American tax dollars?
