Admiral James Lyons:
“I reject the term ‘radical Islam.’ Islam is Islam. There are no moderates, and we all know it!
Islam is a totalitarian ideology bent on world domination masquerading as a religion!”
He is 100% right.
2014 clip shows how much Elon Musk appreciates taxpayers.
Host: Taxpayers essentially loaned you, Tesla, almost 500 million dollars. How much of that do you still owe?
Elon Musk: We paid the whole loan back with interest and a prepayment penalty last year.
Host: Did you have to do that? It wasn’t due, was it?
Elon Musk: I know it was not due for another ten years or something.
Host: Why did you pay it off early?
Elon Musk: The taxpayers supported Tesla. We ought to repay them as soon as we can. And since we had the ability to do it and the stock markets were good, we thought, “Well, let’s pay it back with interest and a thank you note, by the way,” which said, you know, “I really, really appreciate it. Thank you.”
Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
Watching the father of 22-year-old Logan Federico screaming at Democrats after his daughter was dragged from bed, forced on her knees, and executed...
...by a man arrested 39 TIMES with 25 FELONIES
Still may be the most powerful and heartbreaking video I've ever watched.
Everyone who let this demon walk free, should be in prison.
Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.
They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.
But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.
They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.
But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.
And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.
They buried this.
Now you know.
Testing negative on a flawed test isn't the same as being healthy. Docs confuse the two.
Lyme testing misses ~50% of cases. Bartonella testing is arguably worse. Bad tests don't rule out disease, they just rule out a positive result.
Listening to patients quiets the confusion.
Austin Metcalf is dead.
Let’s stop dancing around the obvious.
Austin Metcalf received the death penalty.
Karmelo Anthony received 35 years.
One of them lives.
One of them gets a gravestone.
Save the faux outrage.
The real victim in this case is NOT the convicted killer.
The real victim is the young man who will never come home again and the family that will spend the rest of their lives grieving a loss that can never be undone.
This was a track meet.
A place for competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
NOT violence.
NOT murder.
And spare us the racial narratives.
Murder is wrong regardless of the race of the victim or the perpetrator. Any decent society should be able to agree on that.
Austin Metcalf lost everything.
His family got a life sentence of grief.
And while some are busy turning this tragedy into a racial debate, the Metcalf family is looking at the empty chair at the dinner table and remembering who actually paid the highest price.
Austin Metcalf got the death penalty.
Never forget that.
Bill Maher: “If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck. You are in a bubble. And again I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria.”
This is an appreciation post for Sophie Cunningham.
She is the 🐐 — tough, loyal, beautiful. Respect, @sophaller you exemplify what it means to be a teammate.
To all the girls aspiring to play in the WNBA: In a league with too many cheap shot artists, be a Sophie Cunningham.
Here, the brilliant @Miss_Snuffy from London explains Zoran Mamdani Mania better than anyone in America has so far done so…
This is a great, but terrifying speech…
😱🤦♂️🤮🥲
