Mao killed more people than Hitler. If Hasan Piker had dressed like a Nazi, we'd have an appropriate outrage. But because commies have infiltrated all our institutions & lied about how evil they are, we don't get the National Socialists were no worse than all other socialists.

Bernie continues to make Fidel Castro proud.

Sergey Brin’s family fled the Soviet Union. Bernie Sanders honeymooned there.

Socialism always begins with envy and ends with confiscation.

New satellite images reveal China building a full-scale replica of a U.S. Navy destroyer in a remote desert.

The 510-foot mock warship mirrors key features of the American vessel. Experts say it could be used to train AI targeting systems or send a strategic warning to the U.S. and Taiwan.

The images also show a replica of Taiwan's presidential palace, raising new questions about Beijing's military preparations.

[Russ Salakhutdinov @rsalakhu]

I think there's a lot of confusion and misinformation about Zhilin's visa, H1B lottery, immigration, and why he left the U.S.

Zhilin had many opportunities to stay in the U.S. if he wanted to. In fact, I was on an email thread with a senior Apple exec (Tim Cook's reports) asking whether Zhilin would consider joining Apple. I said that he wanted to go back to his homeland. The response was, well, we have an office in Beijing if he'd like to join there.

But Zhilin was quite determined to go back and build a startup. I remember him telling me that if he didn't at least try starting his own company, he would regret it for the rest of his life. I respect that, and he was right.

Many of my international PhD students do choose to stay in the U.S. Of course the U.S. immigration process can be quite intimidating and uncertain, even for superstar PhD graduates from places like CMU.

😭😭😭And Tuchel let you defend the entire 2nd half😭😭😭

[433 @433]

The Argentina players found Jordan Pickford's water bottle, which revealed where they were expected to take their penalties.

They all gathered around to study it 👀

[ErvingJacobs @ErvingJacobs]

Fuck hell... In the second half, England basically let Argentina attack non-stop for the entire half. The England keeper made some insane saves at the beginning, but the pressure kept building up while Tuchel did nothing.
Then they went and parked the fucking bus with 5 defenders, just inviting Argentina to keep shooting.
Tuchel is a fucking clown of the century. That “score one goal and then shit your pants” style of coaching doesn’t deserve to win any trophy.
TBH, Messi is genuinely on another level. He can create chances and dictate play all by himself.
Compare that to yesterday’s France match — the moment their midfield disappeared, Mbappé was left completely isolated and forced to shoot garbage.
The 39-year-old Argentinian is still cooking like so. Unparalleled. Only Respect for such greatness.
But England’s cowardly, spineless tactics are also unmatched. Absolute garbage. England players tried best, but the coach lined them up at the fucking crematorium. Fucking C-O-W-A-R-D.

I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops in the wake of yesterday’s deadly Biddeford shooting. I am encouraged that the Department has agreed to do so.

An impartial investigation into the shooting in Biddeford needs to proceed, as the details surrounding this tragedy are important. It is extremely unfortunate that the agent involved did not have a body-worn camera. In April, measures that I authored in the Homeland Security funding bill became law, including $20 million for expanded use of body-worn cameras, $2 million for de-escalation training, and a 17% increase in the independent Office of Inspector General’s budget to investigate matters such as this shooting. The Democratic government shutdown delayed enactment and implementation of these important safety measures.

While it is clear ICE needs to improve its performance, it is important to remember that the work ICE does to protect our country goes far beyond immigration enforcement. ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is tasked with combating cartels, human smuggling, child exploitation, forced labor, and more. Eliminating ICE would make our country less safe and endanger the lives and welfare of countless individuals.

Communism explained to kids:

- Kid A cleans the garage → earns $15.
- Take $11 and give it to Kid B who played video games all day.
- Repeat until Kid A refuses to work.

Congratulations! You’ve just raised an anti-communist.

[Susie Wiles @SusieWiles47]

Two years ago, our country witnessed an unspeakable act of violence in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Being at the hospital in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of President Trump is a day I will never forget.

Through it all, President Trump wasn’t focused on himself. He wanted to make sure everyone else was okay.

I was with two dear friends that - Dan Scavino and Steven Cheung and must admit I had a few minutes of being in shock and even a little weepy.

I’m grateful to God for His protection over the President and the team. But the cost of that day was nevertheless greater than many realize and we will continue to pray for the families impacted.

We will not forget the day in Butler.

Lindsey Graham: 31 years in Air Force and Congress, net worth ~$1.5–2 million (ranked 293rd out of 535).

Ro Khanna: ~9 years in Congress, net worth from ~$27M (mostly wife’s inheritance) to ~$232M+ :))

Apparently, Lindsey didn’t scam or defraud Americans, nor did he engage in insider trading to line his own pockets, unlike the great traitor, Ro Khanna.

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

The world wants me to die.

My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days.

Many were saddened.

However, joy dominated the commentary.

People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves.

But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern:

“he deserved it.”

I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture.

This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality.

Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority.

This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution.

People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation.

For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe.

I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus.

This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years.

Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged.

What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable.

What if I didn’t deserve it?

And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.

He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week.

A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders.

America and the world have lost a determined leader.

Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.
