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.
$32 billion — the amount of property tax revenue extracted by local governments in 2019.
$49 billion — the amount local governments would take in for 2026 if the 2019 baseline had been maintained with increases for population growth and inflation.
$62 billion — the actual amount local governments are taking from the people in property taxes in 2026.
$84 billion — the amount local governments will take from taxpayers in 2031 based on current trajectory.
Yes on 3 — the only way to protect taxpayers and put money back in people’s pockets.
In 2019, local governments took in $32 billion in property tax revenue.
In 2026, that number is now $62 billion.
Had the 2019 revenue merely be adjusted for population growth and inflation through this year, it would amount to roughly $49 billion — $13 billion less than current revenue collections.
Why not return some of that extra $13 billion to taxpayers?
Let me explain reality… if you have but sixty seconds:
They were targeting Elon
They were targeting him with fake charges because the socialist-industrial complex is terrified that he would expose their long grift.
They came after him for the Model 3 and Elon’s claims around its potential.
That potential was realized, and it became, along with the Model Y, the best-selling electric vehicle ever created.
These were fake charges to try to stop somebody from building the best category-defining product.
Let that sink in: that's how evil these motherfuckers are.
The loooooong grift has been exposed: socialist grifters are stealing our tax dollars to fund fringe lunacy, NGOs and government programs without oversight or audits.
They’re parasites incapable of creating any product or service that has to compete in the open market.
Elon creates a couple of cutting-edge products each year, and half of them succeed.
Some of them actually change the world. Some of them fail brutally.
It's called capitalism. It's called creation.
This is what moves the human condition forward: trying things.
Trying really hard things.
Socialists come for the people building valuable products and services — that’s the tell
Keep your eye out for the people who've created nothing and risked nothing, but who are attacking the people who risk everything to create Something.
That's the tell.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets …
Not sure why Breaking Points even bothers to pretend to have conservative representation on the show
They’re doing a segment on the French riots and the liberal guest claims they are just perfectly peaceful protests with legitimate requests that were hijacked by “bad elements”
The “conservative” host says some people may have mentioned that the protests might have something to do with immigration and asks the guest to explain how wrong and stupid it is
The guest admits that the most violent protesters seem to be largely of foreign extraction but their parents could have immigrated and the young people were probably born here so that’s a stupid question
The “conservative” host nodded along like a dutiful child, not single bit of follow up or pushback
Progressives slop that makes MSNBC look respectable
Netflix is firing all of its top creative leadership after their strategy of make every character gay and trans and every white person black failed to produce strong subscriber growth.
If it was an “AI deep fake”, why did the official Somali TV Minnesota Facebook page upload photos of multiple speakers in front of an upside down American flag, then delete them?
