Did you know?
Muslims don’t take over and block streets to pray in Qatar, Dubai or even Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam. It’s illegal and considered disruptive.
They only do it in the West to assert dominance.
Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for shining a light on the new wave of executions in Iran.
During the war, you publicly urged the Islamic Republic to stop executing protesters, and then you said they promised you they would. It was a lie.
I remember saying on live CBC that don’t trust them because they would turn the mass arrests into mass executions. That is exactly what they are doing now. The executions have accelerated.
Yesterday alone, two protesters were hanged. Ten more are just hours away from the same fate. Since January, more than 30 young Iranian protesters have been executed for demanding freedom.
The regime put pressure on all their family members, so we don’t even know the real numbers of executions.
They are using the world’s distraction as cover to eliminate the young men and women who dared to stand up. This cannot be ignored.
I am in touch with some of their family members. They are begging the rest of the world to act before it is too late.
The only time the Islamic Republic backed down from executing a woman was after you published her photo.
Negotiating with executioners without demanding an immediate end to the executions only gives them more time to hang innocent people.

Hey @bariweiss, when Biden admin announced China obtained 40 million of Great Britain’s publicly available voter files @CBSNews covered it seriously. But when DJT announced China got 240 million of Americans voter files your team dismissed like it was no big deal. Why?
🚨 The U.S. Election System is Broken.
Here’s what the disclosures reveal:
- Hundreds of millions of American voter files in the hands of foreign govs
- Voting machines & ballot-counting systems exposed to hacking & manipulation
- China & other adversaries actively trying to meddle in elections
- Evidence of fraud being buried
- Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens & dead people still active on voter rolls
- No Voter ID, no Proof of Citizenship required
- Tens of millions of mail-in ballots floating unsecured
Enough is enough.
Zohran Mamdani says America should look into Islam and follow the example of “Prophet Muhammad” on migration.
Fun fact: After conquering Mecca, Muhammad deported all the Christians and Jews and banned them from entering the city ever again.
To this day, non-Muslims are prohibited from entering Mecca because they are considered dirty and impure.
Does Mamdani want to turn New York into an all-Islamic state like his prophet did in Mecca?
Former FBI official Nikki Floris: “I’m basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point”
You will never guess what she’s up to now…

Microsoft let engineers based in CHINA access the Pentagon's sensitive military systems.
Biden's Deputy AG who ran the Trump witch hunts is now also a senior official at Microsoft
Microsoft is ROTTEN
My top lines from President Trump's election document release so far:
Homeland Security says more than 250,000 noncitizens were illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada alone.
In Michigan, FBI database checks on 107 voter registration applications found 91 with no matching person in government records.
An unevaluated FBI report from Albany claimed China made fake U.S. driver’s licenses to enable mail-in votes for Biden.
A CIA note on 2018–2020 reporting says China’s goal was to stop President Trump from winning reelection. Other documents show this reporting was "massaged" in order to mislead POTUS.
Declassified tables describe roughly 204 million U.S. voter records among datasets held or possessed by Chinese actors. Documents note these records could be used to request absentee ballots in the names of low propensity voters.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) found many state and local election office networks so poorly secured that its testers could take full control in hours or days.
A Michigan witness told the FBI canvassers were paid with debit cards to register phony voters and said the operation seemed aimed at suppressing votes for President Trump.
The Michigan FBI registration-fraud case ran about four years before prosecutors declined charges, with long delays at the Justice Department. The case suggests the Biden Admin was deliberating thwarting investigations into pro-Biden election fraud, much as investigations into Hillary Clinton were slow-walked or killed prior to 2016.
A federal threat paper says China breached state voter registration systems and that stolen data can be used later to request absentee ballots or change voter rolls.
TL;DR - Foreign regimes targeted American elections to stop President Trump, and the Biden Admin greatly strengthened those efforts.
Look at part of an email thread in which officials are debating content and phrasing of an assessment regarding China’s info operations during the 2020 election. They straight up strike a sentence about China seeking to topple Trump and write that China doesn’t have a preference
@GovBillLee@FreddyLA7 I live in Memphis. Just drove corner to corner twice to get to DC for the 4th. Our state is absolutely beautiful. This is not the first time I’ve done this, but I’m still absolutely amazed at the beauty every time. I have like tons of pictures and video every time I do it.

Tamboli's Pasta & Pizza REFUSED to serve four members of the Tennessee National Guard.
This is the owner, Miles Tamboli.
Would be a shame if everyone in the area knew they kicked out US servicemembers!

When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.
The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.
One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.
When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:
“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”
We will be back.
