@compliantvc The EU would waste/ steal 90% of it and go on and on about how much they accomplished with the $8 billion.
His funds aren’t exactly cash, it’s tied to the value of the companies he’s created and grown. If the EU could have done the same thing they would have.
Society collectively needs to stop making excuses for awful behaviour.
There are BILLIONS of people around the world who grew up in suboptimal conditions and they don't use it as an excuse to be a criminal or degenerate.
Tolerance of evil isn't a virtue.
I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.
Rotherham. A small town in northern England.
For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.
Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.
The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.
For sixteen years, not one of them moved.
Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.
That is the moment something in you breaks.
And here is the part that makes it worse.
The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.
This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.
Then Elon Musk bought X.
The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.
But it did.
And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.
Towns the country had been told to forget.
Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.
X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.
That is worth saying out loud.
People need to understand…
Being put on a plane and flown back to your country is the most moderate and benevolent punishment for violating our laws and illegally entering our nations.
Mass deportations are the opposite of radical.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.
When I was at UCLA, my roommate was only 5'6".
But he hit the ball harder than almost everybody.
I remember watching him thinking:
How is this guy crushing baseballs?
He wasn't the biggest.
He wasn't the strongest.
But balls absolutely jumped off his bat.
One day I finally asked him:
"Eddie, what do you do to hit the ball so hard?"
He looked at me and said:
"I use my wrists."
To be honest...
I had no idea what he meant.
So he took me into the cage.
He put a donut on my bat.
Then he started flipping baseballs.
Fast.
As soon as I swung...
Another ball was coming.
There was barely enough time to get the barrel back.
We did 3 rounds of 3 swings.
That's it.
Then he took the donut off.
The difference was immediate.
The barrel felt like it was flying through the zone.
Everything felt faster.
Quicker.
More explosive.
So I did it again the next day.
And the next.
A few days later we flew to play Pacific.
That game I went 3-for-4 with 3 doubles.
Now, was it all because of the drill?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But, it did feel like it helped me.
So if you wanted to "boost" your swing speed tonight, try this:
Put a donut on your bat.
Have someone front toss baseballs rapidly.
As soon as you swing, the next ball is coming.
3 swings.
Rest.
3 swings.
Rest.
3 swings.
Rest.
Now take the donut off.
Hit 10 regular swings.
Pay attention to how the barrel feels.
Because here's what I learned from Eddie:
A lot of players think power comes from getting bigger.
Sometimes it comes from moving the barrel faster.
Eddie wasn't bigger than everybody.
He was faster than everybody.
