@Microinteracti1 The funny part is that the Muslim population in the U.S. is actually growing at a faster rate than Europe

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%.
At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then.
Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further.
America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really.
As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history.
The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.
Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav
Britain, Germany, Belgium, France and Sweden are in a race for which becomes the first Islamic country in Europe. They just keep importing more and more fake refugees every chance they get. Who is paying for this intentional elimination of the indigenous people and culture?

Couple comes in for their annual review.
$2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track.
I ask the question I ask everyone.
"How is your daughter doing?"
Mom's face changed first.
Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained.
But she's been in the same apartment for six years.
Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible.
Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually."
I pulled up a simple chart.
Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60.
At 60 her own retirement is eight years away.
The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close.
Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way.
The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child.
They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications.
Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter.
Dad looked at his wife.
"Why are we waiting?"
Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

Police divers recovered his body Thursday, and it was formally identified with his family notified the same day
Gracey was last seen around 3 a.m. Tuesday leaving the beachfront nightclub Shôko, his mother said
A police source told the Daily Mail, “A witness who happened to be passing saw him leave the nightclub, saw him heading towards this rocky outcrop. From there he may have fallen into the sea and drowned.”
Police searched the area along Somorrostro Beach with boats, divers, a helicopter, and drones, and found Gracey’s wallet floating in the water

@sicily_angel @unlimited_ls She was also an American tourist. I assume she’s been identified and/or ruled out of being involved. Witnesses saw him heading to the water by himself and there are a lot of cameras in that area
English
@unlimited_ls Why is there no report of the woman he was seen with with dark brown hair obviously she didn’t go missing or that would’ve been part of his story so did she lure him?

@FiliusGrok @FoxNews He was 4 meters down in the port, divers found him
English
@FoxNews Pretty fast finding remains in the water. Was he floating, still on the beach, WTF kind of reporting is this?
English
@LisaGrande13 @NewsNation No foul play suspected. Ton of cameras in that area that showed him headed to the beach. He probably thought it was a good idea to go for a swim but the water is freezing
English
@NewsNation So terrible 😞 , Im hoping at the very least he wasn’t murdered and it was a an accident for the family sake 🙏🙏🙏

One thing hurting Trump right now is that so many disaffected voters are millennials and Gen Z, and they don’t really have a frame of reference for this foreign policy stuff.
Hell, how many can even remember 9/11?
If you’re a Boomer or Gen X watching Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba fall in a matter of months is wildly historic. Stuff of legend!
But for them it just looks like meddling.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

@cathyrusson Now we know why Kouri's mother, Lisa Darden, didn't take the stand! In 2006, she was accused in the OD death on Oxycontin of her female lover after being made beneficiary on her lover's life ins just before her death. Not enough to charge her, but LE believes she was involved.

STATEMENT FROM DEFENSE in UT v Kouri Richins: Statement from Wendy Lewis, Kathy Nester, and Alex Ramos, attorneys for Kouri Richins:
After three weeks of testimony and closing arguments, this case is finally where it belongs: in the hands of the jury.
We are grateful to the jurors for the seriousness and care they have shown throughout this trial. They have listened closely to every witness and every piece of evidence, and we respect the responsibility they now carry.
For nearly three years, the public has heard accusations about Kouri. Those accusations created a narrative that spread far beyond this courtroom.
But in court, accusations are not enough. The law requires proof.
After three weeks of testimony, the prosecution has failed to prove its case. The standard in this country is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That burden has not been met.
Kouri has maintained her innocence from the very beginning. Over the past several weeks, the jury has had the opportunity to hear the full evidence — not the headlines, not the speculation, but the facts.
We believe in the jury system, and we trust the process.
Kouri should finally be able to go home to her three young boys and begin rebuilding her life.

BREAKING: Germany’s government rejected Donald Trump’s demand that NATO allies help secure the Strait of Hormuz, saying the alliance has no role in the war.
Stefan Kornelius, spokesperson for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “This war has nothing to do with NATO. It’s not NATO’s war. NATO is a defensive alliance, an alliance for the defense of its territory.
I would also like to remind you that the U.S. and Israel did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired.”

@spartan0157 @IanRunkle But even if she said "it", it doesn't prove anything either way...

I feel like a lot of the prosecution close is reaching to fiddly points.
Like the "him" versus "it" thing in the 911 call. She says both. I don't put any significance to it, but the prosecution is clucking about it like it was a signed confession.
