@razibkhan The smart kids at my hs who were interested in the military got admitted into a military academy or a ROTC program at a 4 year university. Vance did neither.

Those capable of scoring 99+% on the LSAT competed for Nat’l Merit in hs.

Vance is DEI: hillbilly, SES, military.

My post on Sazan Island went viral yesterday because the verifiable facts are shocking.

Here's what I left out: Sazan is just one piece of a much bigger operation.

Jared Kushner started Affinity Partners in July 2021. One day after leaving the White House.

Within weeks, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund wired him $2 billion. Senior Saudi officials objected. Mohammed bin Salman overruled them.

By the end of 2024, Affinity was managing $4.8 billion, almost entirely from foreign governments. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE. Today that number is $6.16 billion. 99% from foreign nationals.

The fee structure, disclosed to the Senate Finance Committee under investigation: Kushner charges the Saudis 1.25% annually on $2 billion in committed capital. Other investors pay closer to 2%. The Senate's own investigators called this "unusually high" for a firm with Kushner's experience level, or more correctly, complete lack of experience. As of mid-2024, Affinity had generated zero return on investment and had not distributed a penny of earnings back to any client.

He's charging governments tens of millions a year to have their money sit in a bank account.

In late 2024, Senator Wyden referred Kushner to the Department of Justice for possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The same law that put Paul Manafort in prison.

Now Kushner is back in government. Trump's "Special Envoy for Peace." Negotiating with Iran. Negotiating with Russia. Negotiating ceasefire terms in Gaza. On behalf of the United States. Not chosen by Americans. No experience running an investment firm. No training or experience in international relations. His sole credential is that he married the president's daughter. All while managing $6 billion from the governments he is negotiating with.

Before Trump's second term started, Kushner publicly promised he would not raise additional capital while serving. The New York Times then reported he was actively soliciting $5 billion more from foreign governments. His lawyers confirmed the conversations. They said he "does not intend" to take it.

He said the same thing before he took it the first time.

The Senate Finance Committee and the House Oversight Committee are both demanding answers. They've asked for every communication between Kushner and foreign governments. They've asked Affinity to preserve all documents. Any destruction of records, they said in writing, will be treated as obstruction.

Now look at the ownership chart below. It was produced as part of a corporate investigation published June 3rd titled "Exporting the Abraham Accords: The Hidden Network Converging on Albania's Shoreline." My follower @SlavicWoman777 flagged it in my replies.

Five unnamed Albanian shareholders. 24% combined stake. Structured deliberately just below the 25% threshold that would require public disclosure under Dutch law.

That is someone trying to hide who is behind the money.

This is what corruption looks like when it's wearing a suit and has a law firm on retainer.

What do you call it when your government's negotiator is on the payroll of the governments he's negotiating with?

Trump 90 days ago: "Operation Epic Fury — is that a great name? It's only a great name if you win. And we've won. Let me tell you, we've won. You never like to say too early you won — we won. We won. In the first hour it was over. We won."

🇦🇱 | After days of fierce protests and armed clashes, the Albanian government has announced it is halting all work on Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s controversial project.

Crowds are refusing to leave the streets until the entire project is permanently canceled.

A severe drought in Spain has revealed one of Europe’s most astonishing archaeological treasures — a 7,000-year-old megalithic monument, now confirmed to be older than both the Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge.

Known as the Dolmen of Guadalperal, this prehistoric stone circle had been submerged under a dam reservoir for decades. As water levels fell, the stones re-emerged, giving archaeologists a rare chance to study one of humanity’s earliest ceremonial sites.

Ukraine shot down Russian Kalibr cruise missiles. Then took them apart — board by board, component by component.

What Ukraine's Ministry of Defence @DefenceU found inside should be uncomfortable reading for Western regulators and sanctions enforcement agencies.

More than 80–90% of the guidance system electronics: foreign-made. Every part marked. Every manufacturer identified. 🧵👇

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Ukraine isn't testing the SKYNEX air defense system anymore. It's using it - and the results are rewriting Europe's defense orders.

All four SKYNEX systems pledged by Germany have been delivered and are operational. Developed by Rheinmetall, each unit combines a 35mm automated anti-aircraft cannon with radar-guided targeting and a networked battle management system - designed specifically to intercept Shahed-type drones before they reach their targets.

Ukraine's Air Force called the results "impeccable." Rheinmetall is now planning to scale production to 400 systems per year by 2027 - a decision driven directly by what Ukraine proved in combat.

The drone war created the demand. Ukraine created the proof of concept.

[Dr. Heidi Klessig @heidiklessigmd]

After heart surgery, the parents of a 13-year-old girl were told that their daughter was dying, and that they should start making end-of-life decisions, including donating her organs.

Upon transferring their daughter to another hospital however, they were told that doctors at Oregon Health and Science University had installed her new heart valve upside down.

“Doctors at Seattle Children's removed the inverted valve and replaced it with a different one, properly positioned. Her heart promptly began to function correctly. She was successfully taken off cardiac bypass and no longer required ECMO.

Her condition continued to stabilize over the following days in Seattle Children's ICU. After more than a month in critical condition, she was able to return home with her parents.”

Let's be precise about what Bill Pulte actually did.

In December 2023, Pulte organized an event at a Florida hangar for investors in a company that had already gone bankrupt. They paid $500 each believing he had secret knowledge about how to recover their money. He arrived in a helicopter that had taken off from the same airfield, circled overhead, and landed again for dramatic effect. Attendees signed away their shareholder rights to one of Pulte's associates as a condition of getting a single share of Pulte Homes in their ticket package. They got cases of Coors Light, bottled water, and a promoter slapping a supporter in the face with a green dildo.

The bankrupt company did not resurrect. Nobody got their money back.

This is the man now nominated as acting Director of National Intelligence. Not a reformed con artist. Not someone who made one bad call. Someone whose documented record across memestock promotion, a failed 50-year mortgage proposal, and opposition research that went nowhere is a consistent pattern: say what the audience wants to hear, perform confidence, collect the reward, and move to the next room.

The intelligence community employs roughly 100,000 people and holds the country's most sensitive secrets. Indiana families have kids in that workforce. The people who rely on accurate threat assessment to make decisions about American safety deserve someone whose qualifications extend beyond getting a retweet from Trump and buying a Mar-a-Lago membership.
