A note to my friends who still back Trump:
I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.
Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.
And the green water?
A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.
That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.
The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.
Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.
Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.
Prove them wrong.
🇧🇷 A 21-year-old woman has died after a rope jump in São Paulo state, launched from a bridge without being properly clipped to the safety rope.
She fell around 40 meters at the Ponte do Esqueleto.
Witnesses say people nearby spotted the loose rope and started shouting just before she went over.
3 men have been arrested.
Police say it was an informal group with no company behind it and no permission to run jumps there, and that they never checked the rope was actually attached to her.
They were never authorized, never regulated, never stopped, until it was too late.

🚨🇧🇷 TRAGEDIA EN BRASIL: Una joven de 21 años, Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, murió tras caer de 40 metros en la "Ponte do Esqueleto" (Limeira, São Paulo).
Los operadores de la empresa "Entre Cordas" la levantaron en posición "superman" y la lanzaron al vacío olvidando por completo enganchar su cuerda de seguridad al arnés.
Tras el impacto fulminante, dos instructores intentaron huir por el bosque, pero la policía los capturó con helicópteros. Ya hay 6 detenidos. La empresa borró todas sus redes sociales de inmediato.
El lugar es un puente abandonado no regulado pero muy popular para el 'rope jump'.

🇨🇳 🇺🇸 CHINA JUST LANDED ANOTHER BLOW ON THE US STORAGE CARTEL.
Huawei is closing the gap on Samsung without access to American tech.
Samsung stacks storage chips up to 400+ layers high, the most advanced in the world.
Huawei has been banned from buying that tech since 2019.
China's best domestic alternative tops out at 232 layers, almost half the density.
So Huawei stopped trying to win the layer race. Instead they invented a new way to pack chips onto the circuit board itself.
More chips, smaller footprint, none of the expensive packaging.
The result: a 122TB AI storage drive that nearly matches Samsung's flagship.
Built with inferior chips. Cheaper to produce. A 245TB version is already in the pipeline.
Every export ban produces a domestic workaround. Every restriction funnels more revenue into Chinese chipmakers, who reinvest it into closing the gap.
Washington wanted to slow China down. Instead it forced them to innovate.
