"Against Canada, Trump is fighting a trade war that very few Americans support, under leadership that most Americans reject, to achieve results that virtually all Americans would dismiss as pointless if not crazy"

Slava Ukrainii!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Putin does not want to end the war and is expanding the scale of his strikes. He is waiting for winter. They are striking our civilian businesses, our logistics, Ukrposhta, and burning down Nova Poshta – since 2022. Why, in particular, do we strike Wildberries? Because it involves both the supply of military goods and big money for Russia. Our operation was very carefully calculated. It was their strikes on our logistics that led us to respond in kind, logistically. But we strike with an understanding of the scale of their losses. In that one operation against Wildberries alone, and only in terms of direct losses in Russia, the figure is around a trillion rubles. And if you take into account the company's debts, related losses for other companies and individuals, and the need to restructure operations and rebuild Wildberries, it comes to 3 trillion rubles.

We are also tracking the social impact of our operations in Russia. Many people in Russia want the war to end. They put it this way: they just want it to end. In our view, the statistics are as follows: more than 60% of Russian society wants an end to this war, a ceasefire. So this shows that public sentiment is moving in that direction, and the trends are clear. We have also seen a sharp decline in support for Putin's government. We are talking about United Russia. They removed Yabloko from the election because they expected Yabloko to get a maximum of 3% or 4%, and then they looked at public sentiment, and there it was immediately at 11–12%, with an upward trend. They struck them off the ballot simply to ensure there would be no alternative to the war and to his rule.

“The Trump administration and Musk have joined forces against a law designed to combat deepfake pornography. The Trump DOJ is supporting a lawsuit filed by Musk’s company xAI opposing Minnesota’s “nudification” ban…passed with nearly unanimous support.”

Please watch and consider that Russia is proudly targeting and murdering Ukrainian children, and that there are real people operating these drones. That they have commanders all the way up to Putin authorizing this terror campaign.

This is exactly how AI should not be used in the classrooms. They want to find a way to eliminate public schools altogether. A first big step is replacing teachers with tech and this only hurts America’s kids. Also, if you talk to kids, they don’t want AI & humanoids replacing their teachers.

This is very good. Watch every second.

Don't get overly-focused on the millions Elon Musk is spending because, while he is certainly a problem, he's far from the only problem with money in politics.

This is pretty pathetic stuff. I loathed Lindsey Graham but even I wouldn’t disrespect the man’s funeral and memorial service by making it about… Trump.

Haitians living and working legally in the U.S., doing jobs in construction, healthcare, and agriculture, are now at risk of arrest and deportation to a country the U.S. State Dept. warns Americans not to travel to under any circumstances. Shame on us.

Last week Jesse Watters made a horrific comment that made light of sexual assault. I created a montage of DISGUSTING comments he's made regarding consent and sexual violence. Fox News has paid out tens of millions in sexual harassment lawsuits. Watters still has a job. 🤷‍♀️

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

If you are interested in Russia’s electoral backing of Trump, read David Shimer’s book or Kathleen Hall Jamieson’s book or my "Road to Unfreedom." The people who want our country to break have always wanted this guy to be president.

Labeling people "low-information voters," is intellectually lazy. We consume more information than ever. People need better information, as does a functional society. @newdlenews brings this to every story. Let us know what you think, including how we can improve. https://t.co/BGNXNnBdjb

Trump signed 3 executive orders slapping an additional 50% tariff on a wide range of Canadian imports including wine, hockey sticks and cement.
The move cites "discriminatory" Canadian trade practices on U.S. autos, dairy, and alcohol.

Before the World Cup, The Economist claimed global culture is fragmenting and US soft power is fading. As the tournament ends, Cape Verde’s performance proves they were absolutely right.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

This speech by @StephenM is so deeply evil it’s hard to fathom it coming from a White House employee. This is pure Nazism.

The in-group is “morally superior,” “ordered,” “beautiful” & “normal.” The out-group is “abnormal,” “scarred” & “deformed.”

The in-group goes to church on Sunday (Miller is Jewish).
The out-group is “violent,” “junkies,” & “predators”

This is precisely how the Nazis spoke about their political opposition. It is a full-throated commitment to eugenics as policy.

In reality, you just need to watch Miller to see everything he claims to be afraid of: hatred, jealousy & violence. He is the most “deformed” man in America.

Finally, when Miller brings up the boogeyman of “Antifa,” it’s important to remember the original “Antifa” were antifascists in Weimar Germany who were the first people sent to Dachau.

There is no left vs. right anymore. There is life vs. death.

—

“The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.

The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids who goes to church every Sunday and is filled with the feeling of inadequacy and jealousy and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress and to inflict pain and suffering.

It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who were assembled to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism.

Why is that? Why? You look at two photographs and you see a normal American street, you see an antifa protest. Why did the people that are violently demonstrating? Why is there not one normal looking person among them? Every one of them through the course of their life and their decisions has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways.

The point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred. Trust your instincts to all people and cross all civilizations. You know what normal is. You know what beautiful is. You know what good is. You know that families are right. You know that children are precious and beautiful and must be protected. You know that the criminal and the junky and the predator is a threat to normal, healthy living.

This is so much deeper than issues about taxation and regulation, although they're incredibly important. It's about normal, healthy, ordered living. And the violent leftists for these deep-seated reasons, going back to the earliest wisdom taught to us in the Bible about coveting.

And I'm not talking about rich versus poor. I'm talking about a much deeper kind of coveting. Coveting people who are morally superior. Who are superior in the simple, truthful way they live their lives. People that they look at who are happy and ordered and peaceful and contributing to the communities.

That burns an ember in them and that's how you end up with the horrors we've seen throughout history. Where good families are dragged that into the street and executed.”
