“Now of course I am minimising my tax, and if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax they want their heads read, because as a government, I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra”. - Kerry Packer

Let me shatter another Western illusion about what is happening here in Tehran. The store shelves are not empty. The pharmacies have medicine, and the markets have food. The regime hasn't starved us of supplies they have starved us of the ability to buy them. Everything is available, but all business has completely flatlined. People cannot find paying jobs to sustain themselves. Aside from a few highly dangerous delivery gigs, the work is entirely gone, and the money has dried up with it. Even the internet is out there in the shadows, but only if you are desperate enough to pay black-market blood money, praying you don't get robbed of your last dollar just to connect to the outside world for a single hour. I need the West to hear this loud and clear: my family and I are not terrified of the war. Not even a fraction. Watching the airstrikes dismantle our occupiers in real-time is the most euphoric experience of my entire 28 years on this earth. You want to know our actual nightmare? It is not the bombs. It is the poverty. It is the sheer, suffocating terror of wondering if our empty bank accounts can outlast the regime. We are days away from Nowruz, our New Year. You, sitting in absolute safety, cannot begin to fathom the psychological torture crushing Iranian fathers, mothers, and breadwinners right now. They are breaking under the weight of not being able to afford a single meal or this month's rent. Even those of us who can still barely scrape by are mentally haunted by the thought of our compatriots who have absolutely nothing left. We are living in a brutal, maddening paradox. Watching our butchers burn is pure joy, but the financial strangulation is tearing us apart from the inside. I just want to hit fast-forward through this agony and finally wake up in a free homeland.

Who can honestly say they've had the same phone number for the last five years??

@elonmusk What a time to be alive 🚀

Welcome! Orbital space centers and mass drivers on the Moon will be incredible.

A close friend here in Tehran fought through a thousand layers of this digital blackout just to get a message to me. I am putting it here so the diaspora and the Western pundits can look it in the eye. They said: 'When I finally break through the blackout, I am greeted by people sitting safely outside, preaching their 'anti-war' worries. They cannot fathom that the mullahs slaughtered 40,000 of us in two days. We are being psychologically tortured by their moral grandstanding. Those of us inside this cage know that cutting out a cancer is going to hurt. We are willing to take that pain, because it is better to die once than to be tortured every single day. If this war stops and the regime survives, we are all dead anyway our execution dates just get moved up. From the Massacre of January until the first bombs fell, I cried every single day. When the strikes started, I was finally happy. But reading these 'anti-war' takes physically crushes me. It feels like a 100-kilo weight on my chest. It feels like these safe, comfortable people are grabbing me by the arms and handing me directly to the Islamic Republic to be raped. We are embracing the fire and the fear because this is our last chance to end the nightmare. And yet, your 'peace' posts multiply our terror a hundred thousand times over.' Hear us clearly. Silence the cowards who speak against this rescue mission. Every time you preach 'peace' while we are locked in with our butchers, you are pouring water directly into the regime’s mill.

This is Tehran. Today, right around 10:15 AM. I want the world to hear this: life is flowing here. We are actually doing fine. For years, this occupying regime has choked our city in a permanent, toxic smog. We never get to see a blue sky. But look up today. The air is beautifully clear. The only darkness in the sky is the black pillar of smoke rising exactly where they struck the regime's oil depot. The poison is finally burning. The politicians and pundits in the West are terrified of escalation. They are begging for peace. But walking these streets, seeing the iron of our cage melting before our eyes, we are not afraid of the fire. We only have one true, suffocating fear: we are terrified that the strikes will stop before the rescue mission is finished. We are afraid of this regime's survival. And more than anything, we are afraid of losing our one real chance to end them for good.

@MAGAVoice ❤️

HOLY SH*T 🚨 Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia said perfectly ‘The left is nervous with Trump’s victory’ THE WORLD SEES IT, AMERICA IS BACK THIS SPEECH IS PERFECT ❤️

He’s built multiple multi billion dollar companies from scratch in different industries and runs them simultaneously while raising a tribe of kids, being the Diablo master, biggest contributor on X even before he owned it and he’s auditing the US Govt in his spare time - I would’nt describe that as single minded, or low IQ.

Yes!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@SethAbramson Wow, imagine what he could accomplish if he was actually smart!

As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher. And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo. There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.

Labors New Management Team! God help Australia

@JimJr81 @SBakerMD Plants are possible but meat is optimal

@SBakerMD Being Vegan the right way actually is very healthy. There is a lot of protein and good fats. Look at a bull, a horse, or kangaroo. They don’t eat meat. This lady isn’t anything but sick 🤒

I can’t believe she’s vegan!!🙀

@SBakerMD In Singapore where there is no government corruption and taxes are spent wisely, most people pay no income tax and top tier pay around 20%. GST is 9% and there is no capital gains tax! It shows what is possible.

I’m not particularly motivated to pay taxes this year Anyone else?

Watching the #WhiningDemocrats prattle on about DOGE is a two-fold joy. Knowing their money-laundering barge is capsizing is sinfully delicious fun. Knowing it’s being scuttled by teenagers orders of magnitude smarter than they are is beyond fun. It is pure ecstasy.

@LibertariansNSW Just look to the Middle East where they use the mineral wealth of the country to fund the government and citizens pay little to no tax. We have plenty of mineral wealth in Australia!!

Low taxes are part of libertarian DNA. Each dollar the government takes from you is one less you have to steer your own life, support your family, and pursue your own interests. The Libertarian Party believes in moving towards a flat income tax of 10% above a generous tax-free threshold, abolishing excise taxes on fuel, tobacco and alcohol, and winding back the role of government in your life.

I hereby renounce the Democratic Party

@sbxr I totally agree. And the biggest surprise from the whole sorry saga was the number of women defending them!

How downright horrible do you need to be that you are/were on the side of allowing boys to play in girl's sports. Sub par men pretending to be women to play in their competitions, to lord or over them, were just cowards.

As a father of three daughters, today is a great day.
