This is approximately a million times worse than Epstein. It’s not even remotely close. The scale. The nature of the crimes. The powerful institutions implicated. And yet something tells me that many of the Epstein obsessives will have nothing at all to say about this.
A man working as a welder at SpaceX for $28 an hour has just become a millionaire.
Juan Hernandez, who came from Mexico, welded rockets for SpaceX at $28 an hour.
SpaceX gave him $10,000 in stock when he went full time in 2015, and he bought more with every paycheck for 10 years.
$SPCX is now trading at $167, making his shares worth over $1 million.
As an investor (and a human generally) I can’t stress how important it is to understand that well financed, often foreign enemies are trying to influence public perception on a range of topics from AI to Capitalism. They also sow discontent around social issues and have largely created what some have observed as the woke mind virus. If there’s one thing we should and are failing at is teaching our children to think critically, a difficult task since many of their teachers aren’t capable themselves. It’s a bummer but as parents we also have to teach our kids to see the opinions of their school teachers and college professors with the same skeptical eye.
Claiming Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians is modern day blood libel — propaganda pushed as more horrific details emerge about Hamas’ systematic torture on Oct. 7.
For being Jewish — Hamas raped a woman and burnt half of her face off in front of her husband; shoved nails, metal, and sharp objects into Israeli women; forced family members to sexually assault each other so that if they survived they would be traumatized by the sight of each other; raped corpses; the list goes on.
Distracting from these atrocities and smearing Israel while victims still fight for acknowledgment is sickening.
Robert D. Kaplan is always worth reading & he is right about all of the dangers from our declining #s of ships in our #Navy.
This is a #defense challenge of the highest order. It is the command & control of sea lanes that is a key foundation for American power. Without an adequate navy, especially in the face of #China's growing navy & manufacturing heft, the US risks displacement & having to eventually kowtow to Beijing on critical issues.
So now you open the Strait of Hormuz - after keeping it closed 11 more days for the sake of a terrorist organisation .. Hezbollah!
Let that sink in. For Hezbollah - a bloody terror group drenched in the blood of Americans, Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenis, Saudis, and even Iranians, you were willing to choke off one of the world’s most critical waterways, something you have no legal right to shut in the first place.
That tells us everything about your priorities. Not your own people - as if you care, since you seem to enjoy killing them by the thousands. Not for regional stability. Not because of international law. No, it was just due to loyalty to a terror proxy that thrives on chaos and bloodshed.
And then you get upset when the world calls the Islamic Republic what it is .. a prolific state sponsor of terrorism.
I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards.
When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted.
Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation.
But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence?
Are you serious?
For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop.
This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality.
And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.”
Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence?
You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant.
So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.”
Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t.
Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫
