@TuckerCarlson Great interview but everything about his ethics and manner of doing business seems like it will be inconsequential in the end...he'll probably get bought out.

@MLiamMcCollum We need to repeal withholding, too, so voters need to write that huge check to exchange for a ballot.

We should vote the same day we pay taxes

@dr_duchesne Berliners are barely German.

That this guy is leaving Germany b/c of a bloated welfare state, stagnation, disparagement of German ethnic families, suppression of free speech, unaffordable housing, and crime, WITHOUT blaming immigration ("Migration isn't a bad thing") ------------------------------ tells you why the German race will be ethnocided by 2080, replaced by Africans and Moslems. What a tragedy of world history: the most promising race on Earth is now made up of little rabbits scare of Africans and never complaining that their women are getting raped.

@DanielLMcAdams @X @elonmusk The best content is not monetized.

@KUTUBProduction Why do you put that in my feed.

Thats why we are winning the propaganda war against zionists, those zios are cringe AF.

"To be clear, I never had relations with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell. I never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance." -- Melania Trump That's an interesting timing for this "revelation". Is something about to be released? 🤔

@Khet_Fyth @tjohnson20181 @Coinvo I agree with your proposal

@tjohnson20181 @Coinvo THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT

CRAZY: 🇸🇾🇩🇪 Syria has rejected Germany’s plan to send over 700,000 refugees home.

@RT_com U made me finally do it.

@uncledoomer I'm more cracking up at oh-mah-kuh-say

has anyone tried this diplomacy technique in the middle east

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️– If Iran charges 2 million dollars in tolls for every ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz, it would earn nearly 8 billion dollars in monthly revenue and 96 billion dollars annually.

@zerohedge No one knows anything

When Iran says Strait is open does that mean "open" or there is a $2 million toll?

@zoltanspox @JDVance Not surprised about the exchange of support but the timing seems to be poor.

🇺🇸 @JDVance:The United States is building on a strong partnership with Hungary, recognizing PM Orbán’s leadership on energy security and supporting cooperation while sending a clear message to Brussels.

@DanielLMcAdams I think the Kissinger quote might be appropriate so we'll see...

Trump's endorsement is not the "W" that Hungary thinks it is. May actually contribute to Fidesz loss this weekend.

@moxiewood420 @beinlibertarian If everyone is accountable, no one is accountable.

@willshire23 @beinlibertarian Its both. Them for manipulating him to do their evil bidding and him for falling for it. I think its perfectly reasonable to blame every guilty party when its causing problems this detrimental. Thats why the person who hired the hitman gets as much time as the one who did the hit

Trump was much more in tune with his voters on the campaign trail in 2024. Probably the best campaign ever because he was listening to real people and he knows how to sell what they want. Since he’s been back in DC he has put himself in a similar bubble as his first administration. It’s a positive feedback doom loop that was created by someone who surrounds himself with “yes men.” His advisors are dragging him down just like last time. Disagreement is seen as disloyalty and that isn’t keeping a finger on the pulse of your supporters. The army of social media propagandists that are either on a payroll or just want to feel as if they are important don’t help either. The bubble has created a monster that will hand over the Federal Government to Democrat communists without them even working for it. (Pun intended) I’m not advocating that Democrats are a better alternative, but that’s the direction the country is heading because people think they got the rug pulled from under them and Trump is most likely in the dark.

@ArmchairW u deserve a temporary follow

In making sense of a complex event, it's often best to start with the facts and then work backwards from there. So what are we to make of this weekend in Iran? My theory is we just saw an attempt to seize Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium unravel. Down the rabbit hole.⬇️ Let's run through the timeline and the location of key events first: The evening of April 2nd, the Iranian military released a video of them shooting down a USAF aircraft. This was initially claimed as having occurred over the Persian Gulf, but apparently occurred near Isfahan. Wreckage corresponding to an F-15E of the 494th Tactical Fighter Squadron was recovered from a site south of Isfahan the morning of April 3rd, although geolocation of the very barren crash site took some time (fig. 1). The afternoon of April 3rd, a number of USAF HH-60s and an HC-130 fueler (!) were spotted operating further south and west in Iran, over Kogiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, as well as at least one A-10, an MQ-9 Reaper, and apparently an F-35. An antiaircraft battle developed and the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) HH-60s (fig.2) and an A-10 were damaged, with the A-10's pilot ejecting over the Persian Gulf. The HH-60s were reported as "damaged" and one was photographed trailing smoke. Reports emerged at that time that the pilot of the F-15E (which had crashed near Isfahan, although this was then-unclear!) had been rescued, while the WSO remained at large. Provincial authorities in Kohgiluyeh asked civilians to be on the lookout for an American aviator around this time and numerous photos of militia searching for him emerged. The next day passed relatively uneventfully. The evening of April 4th, however, there was a report of more helicopter activity slightly further north, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, accompanied by a washed-out photograph of an unknown helicopter flying very low on a very dark night (fig. 3). Later that night news emerged that the F-15Es WSO had been rescued... and that C-130s had been abandoned and scuttled at a forward base in the Isfahan area during the withdrawal of a company-size SOF force that had landed in the area, over 100 operators ostensibly having been sent to rescue one aviator. Photographs that emerged as dawn broke showed two burned-out C-130s and several destroyed MH-6 Little Bird SOF assault helicopters, in a scene reminiscent of the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw (fig. 4). A USAF C-295 tactical transport was caught on video around that time flying in Iran - presumably outbound - at extremely low altitude. So, what are we to make of this? First and foremost, the official story - that a huge direct-action SOF force landed near Isfahan with assault helicopters and heavy transport aircraft to rescue one fugitive airman - is nonsense. Not because the USAF won't go to extreme lengths to recover isolated personnel - it can, will, and did in this case - but because that's an absolutely nonsensical way to accomplish that mission. It's a totally inappropriate force package for a mission to go in, extract a single person from a remote area, and leave. Ergo this SOF task force was there on other business. So how were the pilots actually recovered? In all likelihood, exactly the way you would expect them to be recovered - by USAF PJs in long-range helicopters, under cover of darkness. The rescue force probably recovered the pilot from the Isfahan area late at night on April 2-3 and were caught in daylight as they exfiltrated, leading to the aforementioned antiaircraft battle the morning of April 3rd and a high-risk refueling over Iranian territory that was filmed by many Iranians on the ground, as well as a shot-down A-10 trying to clear a path for the helicopters to exfiltrate. The WSO was likely recovered from his hide site near Isfahan by HH-60 in a quiet and deliberate operation the night of April 4-5. One or two birds, in and out under cover of darkness - a far cry from the gung-ho stories currently being spun. So what about the SOF rodeo happening at the same time? Well, why was an F-15 flying downtown to Isfahan the evening of April 2nd to begin with? Probably because there was a huge direct-action raid planned in the Isfahan area for the night of April 4-5, likely going after enriched uranium at an underground facility in the region, and the Iranian air defenses around Isfahan weren't going to suppress themselves. The plan was likely to fly several MH-6 assault birds and a sizable force of operators via C-130 and C-295 to a forward staging area near Isfahan the evening of April 4th, hit a reported cache site or sites for enriched uranium, and try to make it out with the magic dust by daybreak on April 5th. In any event the USAF wasn't going to send transports somewhere it wouldn't send strike aircraft. So the Air Force cashed its check on claims of air superiority and in went the strike package the evening of April 2nd - and lo and behold one of the F-15Es went down because reports of the demise of the Iranian air defense network had been greatly exaggerated. Any rational planner would have scrubbed the SOF operation at this point because they'd lost control of the situation and the Iranian defenses had proven more effective than planned. We went ahead anyways and inserted the SOF task force the evening of April 4th. I strongly suspect that this force was immediately discovered by Iranian drones that would have been up and searching for this WSO, because five transport aircraft including at least two C-130s (about what would be required for a bunch of Little Birds and a company-sized element of operators with equipment) landing at a desert airstrip 50km from Isfahan (and in the same general area where the WSO was taking cover) would be pretty God-damn obvious to anything with thermals. Iranian troops immediately deployed and began converging, the task force probably took indirect fire, and the operational commander immediately aborted mission and retreated in the three remaining operational aircraft. Scuttling charges on delayed fuzes burned two C-130s and an unknown number of MH-6s that had been abandoned at the airstrip around dawn. The story that they were there to rescue the WSO was concocted at that time to cover the disastrously failed raid, as were logistically implausible claims that the task force had been rescued by three additional aircraft after the two C-130s got stuck on the LZ and were scuttled - perhaps to minimize the scale of the effort. Claims that a large battle took place appear to be similarly exaggerated - video has emerged of a single group of Iranian militia apparently killed in a drone strike, but nothing of the nonstop bombing and firefights that were rumored across Telegram all night. I remind the reader that the events of the last few days have proven quite conclusively that Iranians seem to have plenty of internet access to post photos and video when they actually have something worthwhile to film. I'd like to note that Hegseth fired General George - US Army Chief of Staff - on April 2nd, apparently because he just wasn't a good fit for the job and definitely not because he'd told him that this whole scheme was insane. It seems to me that the good General's advice should have perhaps been heeded.

@BowesChay Nothing good would happen.

As US military Aircraft are forced to "fly around" European airspace to Iran- What would those European countries (and NATO Allies") do exactly, if the Americans just flew over them anyway? Think about it.

@OlgaBazova Why does # of followers matter? I always cull followed accounts to maintain ~100

I've lost 500 followers in the past 24 hours. I do hope it's some kind of bot purge Nikita Bier has been promising us, and not X just trying to silence anyone critical of USrael current policy.
