An ICE agent scanned the wrong license plate, chased the wrong man, and ended up shooting Julio Sosa-Celis through his own front door. DHS’s first story: Sosa-Celis attacked agents with a broom and snow shovel. City surveillance video proved that was false — the whole struggle lasted about 12 seconds. DHS admitted its agents gave “untruthful” sworn testimony. Charges against Sosa-Celis were dropped with prejudice.
The agent, Christian Castro, is now charged with 4 counts of assault + falsely reporting a crime. He fled to Texas.
Greg Abbott is refusing to extradite him. Minnesota’s AG just sued Abbott to force it.
A Republican governor is actively shielding a federal agent from facing trial for shooting an innocent man and lying about it under oath.
Texas, you have a job to do in November. And then justice can finally be delivered.
Still can’t believe that The New York Times ADMITTED & PRINTED that the "conspiracy theorists" were right about COVID and that Fauci and the "experts" LIED to the public.
What’s even more disturbing is how many people I know in Hollywood who are completely ignoring all this & don’t have the decency to APOLOGIZE to the people they viciously slandered & attacked for being skeptical of BiG Pharma & government during COVID.
I can forgive the people who acted like monsters & we’re wrong about Covid, but they’ll NEVER forgive me for being right about Covid. @AnitaKrishna1
In 1956 Earl Nightingale recorded a 30-minute talk for the sales team at Mutual of Omaha. No advertising budget. No distribution deal. No publisher.
It sold over 1 million copies in the first year and generated an estimated $4.2 million in revenue before a single dollar was spent on marketing. Mutual of Omaha's sales division reported a 35% jump in performance within 6 months of rolling it out across their offices. The recording became the first spoken word record in history to go gold.
It created an entirely new industry. Every audiobook, every podcast, every motivational recording that exists today traces back to that one tape.
Nightingale had grown up in a tent city in Long Beach, California during the Depression. At 17 he decided to find out why some people succeed and most don't. He spent 17 years reading every book and studying every successful person he could access.
Then he recorded what he found in 30 minutes.
He called it the strangest secret. And the secret was this.
We become what we think about.
That's it. The conclusion of 17 years of research into human success and failure. Six words.
He said a survey once asked thousands of working men why they got up in the morning and went to work. 19 out of 20 didn't know.
They said everybody works.
He said if you did the exact opposite of what the great majority does under any given set of circumstances you would probably never make another mistake as long as you live.
He told the story of two men in a small town. One man adjusted his pocket watch every morning to match the clock in the jeweler's window. One morning the jeweler was outside sweeping and asked him why.
The man said he blew the quitting whistle at the plant every night at 5 o'clock and wanted to make sure his time was correct.
The jeweler went quiet. Then said that's funny. He had been setting that clock by the whistle for years.
Two men. Each following the other. Neither checking the source. Both completely certain they were right.
He said 95% of people are doing exactly this. Following the people around them without question. Spending 40 hours a week working and the remaining 72 free hours doing what everyone else does with their 72 hours. Which is virtually nothing.
He said in 40 years the average man retires and it always catches him by surprise.
He said success is nothing more than the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Any person who knows what they are doing and where they are going is a success. Any person who doesn't is not. By definition.
The trouble with most people is not in achieving their goals. They actually do achieve them. The trouble is in establishing them in the first place.
The recording was made in 1956. It is free on YouTube. 30 minutes.
Almost nobody has listened to it as a complete explanation of why 95% of people arrive at the end of their lives wishing they could do it over again.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has declared that an “economic D-Day” against Iran is beginning, describing it in a new Financial Times op-ed Sunday night as “the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary.”
🔹 Bessent said Washington intends to sever every remaining Iranian economic lifeline, targeting countries and companies that buy or transport its oil, process payments, register ships, host Iranian flights or facilitate ship-to-ship fuel transfers.
🔹 He threatened Iran’s trading partners with exclusion from global capital and “lasting prosperity,” warning that any country serving as Tehran’s “financial artery” should expect to share its isolation and become a “global pariah.”
🔹 Bessent said complete financial isolation could eliminate the need for further U.S. military force, while threatening a “swift and decisive” response if Iran retaliates with attacks against U.S. forces or Gulf states as its economy and government come under mounting pressure.
Mark Cuban says the U.S. may need an entirely new healthcare system, but supporters of Medicare for All are promoting “bullshit” instead of presenting a workable plan.
He spoke to Kara Swisher about the new Yale-led report which projects $1.04 trillion in annual savings by switching to M4A, taking exception with its estimated $285.7 billion reduction in fraudulent billing.
That figure applies an 8% savings associated with Taiwan’s 1995 transition to single-payer healthcare to U.S. spending. Cuban argues that extrapolating from Taiwan’s much smaller, then largely paper-based system makes the estimate entirely unreliable.
He also argues that leading hospitals and doctors would opt out if paid at Medicare rates, and that a politically appointed Health and Human Services secretary would wield broad authority over implementation of the plan.

Rabbi David Yosef, Israel's Chief Sephardi Rabbi: "May the Holy One, blessed be He, destroy all of Gaza... (Palestinians) are not a people and have no rights here. The rights are ours... This is a people built, together with Iran, on the sanctity of murder... The meaning of redemption is that the Land of Israel will belong to us again, all of the Land of Israel... Gaza is ours, Nablus is ours, Jenin is ours; they all belong to us..."
Yosef, one of the two highest official religious authorities in Israel, said this during an event last Thursday at the Gush Katif Museum in Jerusalem, dedicated to commemorating the so-called "expulsion" of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip settlements in 2005.
David Yosef is the brother of former chief rabbi Yitzhak Yosef and the son of former chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who was one of the most influential religious figures in Israel since its establishment. All three have shared and expressed the same views regarding Palestine and Palestinians, views firmly based in the Jewish religion.
Note: unlike a previous subtitled version of this video circulating online, this version includes a full accurate translation. I also added an excerpt not found in the original video.
🇺🇸 While everyone’s watching the oil price, diesel is sitting at $183 a barrel...
WTI crude is around $87, but diesel, the fuel that actually keeps the economy moving, is more than 2x that.
It powers most farming, mining, 80% of U.S. freight by weight, and most global trade.
You'll feel that gap at the cash register soon...

@HealthRanger Would you like some newly approved even though they’ve never been used on our food supply before “forever chemical” pesticides with that?
The EPA has been super busy with that lately.
A US Navy sailor said he learned his father was arrested by immigration officials while on his 9th month aboard the USS Lincoln.
DHS confirmed the arrest, saying “(h)aving a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation's laws."

Wonder why Hegseth fired senior staffers at Stars and Stripes? It’s because of reporting like this:
“Nearly six months after the U.S. Navy evacuated 1,300 family members from Bahrain at the start of the Iran war, officials are saying the evacuees cannot return for the foreseeable future and should find new homes elsewhere. The evacuation has left families in limbo and forced military officials to improvise solutions for support programs that were never designed to sustain a displacement lasting this long. Some evacuees say they have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for basic living expenses. Others are sleeping on the floors of temporary housing, while their cars and furniture are stranded in Bahrain or aboard ships unable to leave the region.”

I was told by the DHS to never speak on Ben Gvir again.
They didn’t ask me about a single American politician.
It was ONLY about Ben Gvir, and they TOLD ME to stop.
Why is the DHS protecting him? I’m an American (born and raised!).
Does my free speech stop with Gvir?
THIS IS TERRIFYING
Palantir just released a new surveillance system that fuses satellites, radars and every camera into one real-time tracker of people and movement.
We are cooked.
▪️While in Iran, 30 million volunteers have registered, ready to sacrifice themselves, in Ukraine, soldiers are sent to the front lines in this manner.
🇸🇾🇮🇱🇹🇷 Israel got the all-clear and still dropped bombs.
U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said Syria told Mossad there were no Turkish troops, no convoy, and no weapons at the airbase.
The Americans checked their own intel and got the same answer.
Israel had 5 days of warnings and talks, then struck anyway without telling Turkey.
Barrack calls it an unnecessary escalation that nearly pulled two U.S. allies into a fight.
Washington’s now scrambling to build a real deconfliction line before the next mix-up turns kinetic.

La brutalidad del colonialismo británico en La India venía de lejos, en el verano de 1858, para aplastar a base de teror la rebelión anticolonial, ataban a los insurrectos a los cañones y disparaban para partirlos en dos.
Este método brutal lo siguieron usando durante décadas en La India contra todo rebelde, por ejemplo en 1872, 40 rebeldes indios anticoloniales fueron ejecutados de esta manera en la ciudad de Ludhiāna.
Unbelievable that a paper would be retracted because "this publication may give the impression that the importance of vaccinations is being questioned."
What in the hell is going on?
