The U.S. and China are racing for a tiny but critical patch of lunar real estate—about the size of Washington, DC. Whoever settles there first locks in resources for a sustained presence. The loser ships everything from Earth. SLS wasn't built for lunar landings. Why fund it? SLS Block-buys only help Beijing.

Harry Enten: Trump has reached the lowest net approval rating ever for a President of the United States. The lowest previous record was when Trump was 24 points underwater in term one. He is now 25 points underwater.

On Saturday a journalist asked Trump, "Last night you said we might be better off not making a deal with Iran." Trump denied saying it. @ddale8 at CNN fact checked it proving Trump had made the remark. I put the two video clips together. Dale and the journalist were correct.

BREAKING: The US Treasury says it expects to borrow $189 billion in the second quarter, $79 billion higher than its February estimate, mainly due to lower-than-projected net cash flows. 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

I love the way Republicans Republicans love to get historical about race in America by showing black elected Congressmen from the south and reminding everyone how southern Democrats founded the KKK. Yet they never mention how they traded away Reconstruction for a presidential election that they lost and plunged the nation into 100 years of Jim Crow, segregation, forced poverty, rape and lynchings. They threw millions of black Americans under the bus for the White House. Republicans are directly responsible for the genocide of black men, women and children south of the Mason-Dixon line. And with the Dixiecrats who fled the Democratic Party following LBJ forcing the passage of the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Acts the Republican Party welcome the descendants of those same southern racists who founded the Ku Klux Klan with open arms because they would help then win another election. And that's how we have the white supremacist president that we do today.

@Sharmadn916 @SPB_TN @EricLDaugh they have been wrong 8000 times as evidenced by people who Bukele freed after they were wrongly convicted. Human rights groups believe a third of the people still held are innocent & have been wrongly convicted. Furthermore, new MS-13 gang members don't tattoo themselves anymore.

@thomaswheat1975 @SPB_TN @EricLDaugh They look for specific tattoos. You know this but are trying to scare people.

🚨 NOW: El Salvadorans are boasting that President Nayib Bukele has turned his once-violent country into the OPPOSITE of EUROPE — instead of rampant gangs and no go zones, the people are safe and THRIVING -98% in homicides Incredible what ruling with an iron fist over crime can do! 🇺🇸🇸🇻 Bravo, @NayibBukele! A model for Latin America. EUROPE should take notes! 📽️ @JorgeManzaSV

@NewsHour there is extraterrestrial life in the underground oceans on the moons around Jupiter and Saturn

President Donald Trump says the Pentagon is preparing to release some "very interesting" UFO files uncovered by his administration, generating a mix of buzz and skepticism as he hints at new revelations around questions of alien life. to.pbs.org/4dkmlUR

Trump is clear-eyed about the threat from Iran, but he seems to view Russia with Kremlin-colored glasses. Perhaps he needs an intelligence briefing on the extent of Russian aid for Iran. on.wsj.com/4cQ2QDr

@HudsonInstitute @augama @Bloomberg Trump is signaling that he is willing to be accommodating to China & he has not given assurances that he would defend Taiwan if China invaded. Trump has also held up arms sales to the island. I fear he will cut a grand bargain with PRC that erodes Taiwanese independence

Beijing is using a two pronged approach to isolate Taiwan by: 1. employing diplomatic coercion and dictating where the elected president of Taiwan can visit 2. supporting opposition leaders and attempting to influence Taipei's defense budget and policies @augama on @Bloomberg

The only reason Hegseth and Trump promote this lie about Biden sending troops to polling places is because they plan to do it themselves, as I warned last year. It's an emergency; the other guys did it first; illegals are voting, etc.

Spirit Airlines says in court papers that it was forced to ground its fleet for good over the weekend because "recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices." nbcnews.com/business/trave…

Holy shit guys

Devastating.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a false claim in his testimony to the House on Wednesday. Then he repeated it in his testimony to the Senate on Thursday. Hegseth said Wednesday: “In 2024, troops were depl… – that was Joe Biden by the way, Joe Biden –  were deployed to polling locations in 15 states." He continued, "2024 – Joe Biden – troops deployed to polling locations in 15 states. Explain that one to me.” Here’s the explanation: Hegseth’s claim isn't true. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election done by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries said *no troops* there were sent to polling places. Rather, they said, Guard personnel were in other locations helping with election cybersecurity, doing other behind-the-scenes support work, or not actually activated for the election after all.

@SPB_TN @EricLDaugh Bukele Law and Order: Don't get a tattoo or you will be sent to prison for life because the police suspect you to be a gang member just because you have tattoos.

@thomaswheat1975 @EricLDaugh We already like it, you don't have to sell it to us.

The Trump administration is pursuing a policy of accommodation toward China that will leave the U.S. with “less leverage, fewer partners and wider gaps to close.” My latest in @FT: ft.com/content/1445c8…

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy. Since that day, job growth has come to a standstill, with only the non-traded healthcare industry adding meaningfully to payrolls. Also, since that day, inflation has accelerated, with the consumer expenditure deflator increasing at a 3% year-over-year pace, up from 2.5% before the tariffs and well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. And the trend lines don’t look good, especially as the economic fallout from the Iran War hits with full force. The higher energy and other commodity prices caused by the war threaten to do even more economic damage than the tariffs, further undermining growth and pushing inflation higher. The U.S. economy is resilient, but just how resilient is set to be tested.

"American AI companies have found that the easiest way to avoid being regulated is just to say this two-word sentence: 'But China!' And then regulators back off." —Max @Tegmark, quoted in my latest @NonzeroNews piece: nonzero.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-n…

@thomaswheat1975 @2ndATexan @EricLDaugh Was jogging in a private property with a hammer in hand ready to back someones head in and work boots on he just stole? That video? Again, my point is that filmer was sentenced. You move the goalpost like a typical leftsist.
