Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
Karoline Leavitt reveals what President Trump told her when critics said she was too young to be the White House press secretary.
MAHER: “So is there anything that could make you... not be loyal to whatever he was doing?”
LEAVITT: “He was my boss, but to me, he’s also a friend, and he gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. I mean, I don’t think I’d be sitting on your show right now if not for him giving me that chance.”
“I’ve also seen him behind the scenes, as you have, and I know his heart... He’s been nothing but kind, uplifting, encouraging. He did name me the youngest press secretary ever, and a lot of people told him he shouldn’t.”
“He told me that. He said, ‘Honey, lots of people said you were too young, and I told them I was building buildings in Manhattan when I was your age, and you can do it.’”

Ilhan's family had to flee Africa because her father ran the brutal dictatorship in Somalia as a colonel overseeing outrageous atrocities. They weren't fleeing oppression. They WERE the oppression. She brought those good ol' Mogadishu family values to Minnesota.
Dear Elon Musk @elonmusk ,
I am reaching out to you as a Ukrainian who has been personally persecuted by President Volodymyr Zelensky for criticizing his government’s corruption and the forced mobilization of ordinary people to the front lines, while, as I allege, members of his own family have not been mobilized or sent to fight.
You are absolutely right about how Ukraine’s political elite, which has maintained ties with George Soros for decades, is profiting from the war alongside certain Western elites.
As a man of integrity, you could help bring an end to this war by recommending one concrete measure to U.S. President Donald Trump—one that could help pave the way for a genuine peace-oriented political movement to come to power in Ukraine and prevent more Ukrainians from losing their lives.
That measure is the introduction of U.S. sanctions against what I call Ukraine’s “war party”: the political establishment that continues to enrich itself through the war while resisting a peaceful settlement. These sanctions should include freezing their assets and bank accounts in the United States and internationally, targeting their cryptocurrency holdings, and revoking their U.S. visas, including those held by their family members where legally justified.
While ordinary Ukrainians are being sent to their deaths, the families of senior officials continue to enjoy comfortable lives abroad. For example, the family of Rustem Umerov, a close associate of Zelensky, reportedly resides in the United States, including his brother.
The same concerns apply to those commonly referred to as Soros-backed activists and grant-funded organizations. Many individuals associated with these circles have reportedly received exemptions from mobilization under the current Ukrainian government, while publicly advocating for the continuation of the war and opposing both you and President Trump.
I believe targeted U.S. sanctions against those responsible for prolonging the conflict and profiting from it could help undermine the financial interests sustaining the war and create stronger incentives for peace.
I would also urge you to ask President Trump to raise the issue of political prisoners with Zelensky and demand the release of those imprisoned for their political views, calls for peace, and support for Donald Trump. Among them are Ukrainian MP Yevhen Shevchenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky, who, according to their supporters, have spent more than three years in detention because of their criticism of the pro-war political establishment and their advocacy for peace.
These individuals represent voices calling for peace in Ukraine, yet they have been silenced through imprisonment. Their cases deserve serious international attention and scrutiny.
I, too, was forced to leave Ukraine because of threats, as have many other Ukrainians who feared for their safety.
President Trump should finally stand up for Ukraine’s genuine political opposition—not the nominal opposition represented in the Verkhovna Rada today, which, in my view, largely supports the same pro-war establishment.
Ukraine needs a real political alternative, one that puts peace, human life, democratic freedoms, and the country’s future ahead of the interests of those who benefit from a prolonged conflict.
If you are interested in learning more, I would be glad to provide detailed information, supporting materials, and further context.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
A Ukrainian citizen advocating for peace and democratic change
🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 7: THE SECRET MEGA-ALLIANCE WAITING FOR A RED LINE TO BE CROSSED 🚨
What do you call a mega-alliance that:
• Covers hundreds, if not thousands, of protest organizations
• Covers all the lawfare-related organizations
• Liasions with governors when a Constitutional crisis is crossed
• Consults federal workers on how to block emergency efforts
• Runs a situation room for the midterms and beyond
• Is credited to regime change expert and professor Erica Chenoweth
• Is operationalized by National Security Leaders for America, an organization of 1,600 retired officers, spies, and diplomats
• ... and determines the "red lines" for mobilization of the above?
Meet the United Democracy Alliance (UDA).
UDA is the secret alliance behind the messaging we saw this week:
• JB Pritzker's warning that states will "strongly resist"
• Governor Newsom's office declaring a "CODE RED"
• Norm Eisen talking about "war rooms"
• Slotkin predicting a "national security incident"
You will not find any mentions of the United Democracy Alliance (UDA) on the web. It is a mega-alliance of resistance NGOs ready to deploy on a moment's notice, monitoring every action President Trump takes and monitoring every polling place.
We only can put together the pieces by recordings. Some key quotes:
• "if there's a moment where there's a constitutional crisis, like one of the UDA four red lines, if they get crossed… governors then become the kind of lead anchor for political power." (Zeitz, Aug 6)
• "the big, big, big, big, big tent that's being organized in the blocking community so that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a constitutional crisis, like, everybody's already pre-organized." (Reiff, Aug 5)
• "We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations" (Eric Manton, Zoom chat, Aug 6)
According to @JeffClarkUS , the last point above about federal workers conspiring to block emergency responses may violate serious statutes. More on federal workers involvement in Drop 8.

Dominik Tarczyński @D_Tarczynski just BODY-BAGGED Piers Morgan on Islam’s incompatibility with the West.
Piers spent the whole segment looking like he swallowed a bug and was praying someone would change the subject.
This is what it looks like when someone refuses to play the game.
BE LIKE POLAND. 👏🔥
Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden.
The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.
Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.
Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.
Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.
The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.
Thanks to @TheJusticeDept@FBIKansasCity and @USAttyPirro.

🚨🚨 THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK / THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 6: THE 3.5% RULES RECEIPTS 🚨
As requested by @monicaonairtalk - here are the receipts on the influence of Erica Chenoweth and 3.5% rule. 9 minutes of various participants referencing the 3.5% rule.
It's been months that I keep saying Hitler was far left. Every time, thousands of clowns show up in my replies to give me history lessons.
So I made a video to answer all these low IQ takes at once.
Topic closed. Next.
Right now, a genocide against Christians, perpetrated by Muslims, is happening in Nigeria.
More than 3,000 members of Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo’s church have been killed. And he has already conducted over 200 mass burials for his congregation.
This year alone, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Gazans in 3 years of war. But no one seems to care, and the media remains silent.
