@charliekirk11 What we know of Project MKUltra conducted by the CIA is horrific. Though the 20-year program was “halted” in 1973, our government has utilized much of the methods ever since.

@elonmusk We would like a real-time, chronological feed of accounts we follow— no algorithms!

Major update to the 𝕏 AI recommendation algorithm rolling out next week. This will be open sourced at the same time.

@joce_leigh I am in the 3% with 1000+ books— even with consistent gifting of books from my collection to family and friends. Combined with my love of house plants, I can confirm there is no such thing as too many books or too many plants 🤗📚🪴

I photographed some of my bookshelves recently. I am in the 3% that have over 1000 and yes, the more I have, the more disorganized it has gotten! I know where they all are though! I also got rid of so many classics after my degree thinking the library has them but now they don’t! @BookwormBean -moving discussion and deleting on the voting thread

One day, the Church will finally realize that Jews hate Jesus and that Christian Zionism is the perfect demonic perversion of Satan.

@SweeneySteve It was a miracle you and @AliRida_SB survived this targeted missile attack— and did so without extensive injuries 🙏🏻

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@IsraeliPM Waiting for the superimposed image of Netanyahu to arrive…

WATCH LIVE: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements to the media (in both English and Hebrew) twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Compare and contrast the early days of Twitter with present day X— 2009: Iranian Protests “Twitter Revolution” breakthrough of censorship by real-time citizen-journalism, bypassing government blocks on media. U.S. State Department requested Twitter delay maintenance to keep service available for Iranians. 2026: Iran War with Israel and U.S. multi-sided wartime restrictions (blackouts, military rules, disinfo) severely limit videos/photos/updates from all sides. Virtual no on-ground videos/ photos/ updates. Israel restricted visuals of strikes/ intercepts. Heavy AI deepfake/ disinfo surge on war and massive bot activity.

Longtime users are frustrated with X because it no longer works the way it used to. Back in the early days of Twitter, your reach was simple and direct. If you had 5,000 or 10,000,20,000 followers, your posts were delivered to them in real time. It was a true chronological feed—your tweets showed up in the order you posted them, and your audience actually saw your content. The “old” Twitter (pre-2016) was built around that real-time experience. Your voice reached the people who chose to follow you, without interference. Today, that’s no longer the case. X relies on an algorithm-driven, engagement-based feed, meaning even your own followers may never see your posts unless the system decides to prioritize them. That shift—from a guaranteed audience to an unpredictable algorithm—is why so many longtime users feel frustrated and disconnected.

Again: the key to understanding the second Trump term is Jared Kushner.

@EricTrump 😂 Trump is so quick witted with humor. This is hilarious.

🤣🤣 One of the great responses to a reporter in history! JAPANESE REPORTER: Why didn't you tell Japan before the Iran war? PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Why didn't you tell ME about PEARL HARBOR?!" "You believe in surprise much more-so than US!"

@IfindRetards If it is your meeting and at the end you ask if anyone has any questions— you’re exceptionally retarded.

If you ask questions at the end of a work meeting, you're retarded.

@WhiteHouse Of course Israel went rogue…

Statement from President Trump on South Pars Gas Field:

Joe Kent on why we actually went to war with Iran.

How many times and from how many people do you need to hear that it was Israel that dragged us into war with Iran for you to get it through your skull that we are no longer in control over our own country and are instead held hostage by a parasitic foreign tribe that blackmails, bribes, and brainwashes our people and leaders?

Weather manipulation.

@NWSPhoenix The weather manipulators didn’t let us have a Winter— now punishing us with no Spring. New seasons in Sonoran Desert; HOT HOTTER

As of 2:57 pm MST Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport has reached 100°. This is not only the first 100° day of 2026, but it is also the earliest occurrence of 100° in Phoenix (which last occurred on March 26, 1988). #azwx

@LibertyCappy I resemble this remark 😉

There are millions of us who are somewhere in the intersection of "Ron Paul Libertarians" and "Pat Buchanan" conservatives We are the ones who demand Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility, ending the Federal Reserve and IRS, are Anti-War, and love Freedom Millions of us

@CCrowley100 It is what Aristotle meant when he held that; “only the man capable of ruling himself is fit to rule others.” Imagine a society in which this mastery over self was the expectation of all men…

To understand this passage, it is necessary to clarify what Evola means by freedom and the tradition from which that concept arises, since it belongs to a conception fundamentally different from the modern understanding of the term. When Evola speaks of freedom in Revolt Against the Modern World, and throughout his work more generally, he means freedom in an aristocratic and traditional sense. This conception does not belong exclusively to Evola’s account of the Perennial Tradition, but to the older inheritance of Western aristocratic civilization itself. It is the freedom known to the Indo-European warrior, the Greek aristos, the Roman patrician, the Germanic thane, and the medieval knight. It is the freedom of the man who rules himself first. Evola is contrasting two forms of freedom. What philosophy later termed positive freedom is the ancient, hierarchical conception: the freedom to act in accordance with one’s higher nature. It is the liberty of self-mastery and command over the passions, achieved through conscious discipline and inner sovereignty. Such freedom is not granted from without, but cultivated from within. It is what Aristotle meant when he held that only the man capable of ruling himself is fit to rule others, and what the Stoics understood as a freedom of the soul that no external power can truly extinguish. Opposed to this is negative freedom, the modern egalitarian notion of liberty defined not by self-mastery but by the absence of restraint. It defines freedom as the removal of limits rather than the ordering of the self. In the traditional view, such freedom is empty. It produces men governed by impulse rather than will. A people may appear liberated outwardly, enjoying unrestricted movement and choice, while remaining inwardly enslaved to appetite, vanity, fear, or the need for approval, in short, all that is “human, all too human.” In the formulation above, Evola is describing an order in which freedom and hierarchy were once united. The ruler is great not because he subjugates, but because he governs others as he governs himself. Those who serve him are not slaves, for their obedience is freely given, arising from recognition of a higher authority that reflects their own inner discipline. To love freedom in those who serve is to affirm the same principle of inner sovereignty in them. The Roman emperor, in this sense, does not extinguish the freedom of others but gathers it into a coherent order. Each man stands within a framework of duty and obligation beyond himself, bound into a greater whole, yet remains inwardly free because he knows his place and measure and lives in accordance with his proper purpose. For Evola, true freedom rests on form and proportion. It is the steadiness of spirit that endures without surrender to external pressure. The ancients regarded such freedom as inseparable from hierarchy, since order alone gives it meaning. The Roman ideal, and it is an ideal, was to be self-governing and sovereign, holding within oneself the same discipline one embodied in command. The passage presupposes this understanding. Nobility consists in ruling free men rather than slaves, since only those who are inwardly free can sustain a civilization worthy of reverence, one oriented beyond the fleeting present toward a higher principle. Evola located that principle in what transcends the merely temporal condition of man, and it was this vertical orientation that once gave authority its legitimacy and freedom its measure. When that binding orientation is lost, freedom ceases to be a discipline of the soul and becomes a license for indulgence, while authority survives only as an empty shell. What remains is order without inner form and liberty without self-command, not simply a political failure, but the inward dissolution of a world that has lost all orientation toward what stands above it.

“The supreme nobility of a Roman emperor does not consist in being a master of slaves, but in being a lord of free men, who loves freedom even in those who serve him.” —Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World

It is easier to conquer a people than it is to govern them. Slaves are conquered, free men are governed. It is no wonder our governments have been importing more slaves to outnumber the free.

@nikitabier Overnight @alx and @nikitabier have lighthearted exchange about dislike button… in the morning, X goes down. There are no conspiracies 👀

@Okie_Rancher Not the outcome we were hoping it would be. Your efforts and that of your wife to save her were valiant. Our prayers will continue— now to bring about comfort and renewal to your mind-bodies-spirits after a such a difficult ordeal. ❤️🙏🏻

For those following and asking about the cow, she was suffering early this morning, so we called the vet again and showed video. That line between the hope of saving and cruelty of allowing her to suffer had been crossed. I put her down. I’ve done this my entire life and a week that starts with pulling a dead calf and ends with putting a momma down is brutal. I’ve done both before, will likely do both again. But when I came inside my wife had shower going while sitting on the floor so my son wouldn’t hear her crying. We held each other for a bit, had coffee, and I’m heading in to the office to pretend it’s a normal day. Oddly, it is a normal day in a way. Most don’t understand that being a daily part of the cycle of life makes the loss of life harder, not easier. Those who buy food off the shelf never really understand the life sacrificed to put it there and huge operators with thousands are numb to it as it’s just expected “loss.” But, others understanding isn’t the point. You invest in each, protect each, and fight for each with no one watching, (well, at least not until I post it here). We honor those lives that sustain us. It is a way of living that I’ll cling to as long as I can. My mother in law heard the shot from her little place (she lives right next to us here on the farm) and knew what it was… she knows how I hate doing it … and she texted after. I thought it was beautiful.

My father is 90 years old today. He lived in China for 59 years, surviving The Great Chinese Famine & Mao's Cultural Revolution. He became an orphan at 5 and was adopted by his peasant uncle. He worked on a farm to feed himself & never went to school. He was recruited as a young laborer by a State factory in Chengdu, where he met my mother. He was never promoted because he was illiterate & he fought constantly with his CCP boss for his dignity. He worked hard to feed 3 children with little help from my mom who was ill most of her life. His life was full of struggles, tragedies and stress in Communist China, but he never lost his honor or spirit. He came to the U.S. in 1995, became an American citizen, found God and Jesus Christ. His Christian faith has given him comfort and strength since my mother's passing in 2020. His life today is full of joy, peace, love and gratitude for America. I am truly blessed to still have my father in my life. We will be celebrating his birthday this Sunday on the beach! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! (Photo on the left is dad in his 50s from China. Photo on the right is dad from a month ago in Colorado.)
