I've told this story before on @ShawnRyanShow, but never had the combat footage. Yesterday, a Ranger brother sent it to me. Nearly 20 years later, I can finally see how close we were to a suicide bomber during a mission targeting an Al-Qaeda cell in Iraq. Crazy how we all lived! RLTW!!!!
RFK Jr. told Dr. Phil why we have no idea how safe our vaccines are.
Vaccines skip much of the safety testing other drugs must go through before they're licensed. We were told a surveillance system would catch any problems afterward. But the reporting system they built captures fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries.
That figure is from the government's own 2010 study. And when a better system was built and tested, it found serious injuries in 1 of every 40 recipients. So it was shelved. 🧵
BREAKING: Switzerland suspends funding to Doctors Without Borders after it failed to report that its staff exploited refugee women and girls for sex—in exchange for aid, jobs and money. Previously, 🇨🇭 called MSF “a source of best practice and inspiration.” https://t.co/p8NopVkGuG
HUGE. An immigration attorney says Washington state is lying about how often non-citizens are voting. Secretary of State Steve Hobbs claims there has only been 15 such cases since 1982. The attorney says he's dealt with 15 cases just in the last couple weeks.
California admits to a federal judge that non-citizens can vote in their elections & they do nothing to stop them. That is a violation of the constitution.
Ukrainian drones reportedly hit the Azot chemical plant in Russia’s Tula Oblast, south of Moscow, on 28 October
Azot makes nitric acid, used to make explosives, military observer Oleksandr Kovalenko said. From 2022 to 2024, it delivered nearly 5,000 tons to Russia’s Sverdlov plant

🚨 JUST IN: The REAL Sen. Dan Sullivan just TORCHED Mary Peltola for running a YEAR-LONG scheme to trick Alaskans, and treating them like they're STUPID
"The candidate I'm running against had a SCHEME for over a year to try to TRICK Alaskans, and that shows TOTAL CONTEMPT for the people of the state of Alaska."
They were treating Alaskans like they're kind of STUPID."
"We're NOT stupid. We're SMART. And we know we shouldn't be electing a CORRUPT SENATOR who's been lying to the Alaska people directly to their FACES for over a year!"
@ma2488135@vick55top How do you reckon that with the slums in the middle of Moscow and the need for donkeys to carry supplies to the Russian front lines? https://t.co/PEl9xB72xj
Democrats and the Mary Peltola campaign have repeatedly denied recruiting a fake Dan Sullivan to run against Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan. Now their denials have fallen apart. And the real story is even worse than Republicans thought. From NYT: https://t.co/9MbTayy4L7
Very concerning reports about the elections in Brazil.
The fraud was so rampant that proofs are comming out so fast and strong.
Flavio Bolsonaro won the election.
SNL made jokes about Putin taking Crimea in 2014. That's how serious it was.
Obama refused to give Ukrainians weapons to defend themselves, but he was just so cool and that's all that mattered back then.
A man who lost his voice to ALS is talking again at conversational speed. In his first week.
No gala dinner did that. No foundation press release. No "commitment to awareness."
Neuralink just shared early data from its speech restoration trial: one ALS participant hit 75 words per minute with a 5.8% error rate on a 125,000-word vocabulary, in the first week. For context, normal conversation runs around 120 to 150 words per minute. A few years ago, people in this condition were spelling words one letter at a time with their eyes. Now they're getting close to talking normally, in their own voice, straight from their brain.
Let that sink in. A disease that slowly locks you inside your own body, and someone just built a door.
And here's what's funny. For months, journalists and politicians have been telling us that Elon should "give his money away." Redistribute. Write the big check. Be a good billionaire.
They have it backwards.
Giving money away is the easy part. Anyone can sign a check. Most billionaire philanthropy today is reputation management. You fund a foundation, the foundation funds NGOs, the NGOs fund think tanks and campaigns, the think tanks shape policy, the media covers it warmly, and half the outlets covering it are owned or funded by the same billionaires. Everybody gets a nice headline. The money circulates in a closed loop of people who all know each other. The problem being "addressed" is still there twenty years later, because solving it was never really the business model. The business model was looking like you care.
That's not philanthropy. That's crony capitalism with a charity logo on it.
Now look at the other model.
Give a voice back to people with ALS. Let paralyzed people control a computer with their thoughts, and push toward restoring movement. Work on giving sight back to the blind. Make electric cars mainstream and push transport toward autonomy so getting around doesn't cost a fortune. Put high-speed internet in villages no telecom company would ever bother with. Make access to space radically cheaper. Bet on robots and cheap energy that could one day make building a home affordable without signing up for 25 years of debt.
None of that came from redistributing wealth. All of it came from creating it.
That's the part people refuse to understand. Wealth is not a fixed pie you slice differently. It gets created when someone solves a real problem for real people at scale. And when you do that, you don't help a few thousand people with a grant. You change the baseline for billions of people, permanently, and the solution keeps getting cheaper every year.
A check gets spent once. A solved problem stays solved.
Gates-style philanthropy is going to fade in the coming decades. Not because the people are evil, but because the model is slow, political, captured by intermediaries and optimized for image. Gates himself has announced his foundation will shut down by 2045.
Musk-style philanthropy will become the standard. It just doesn't call itself philanthropy.
It's called entrepreneurship. Value creation. Capitalism.
The most generous thing you can do for humanity is build something that makes an impossible thing ordinary.
Ask the guy who just got his voice back.
Dave Foley was ordered to pay his ex-wife $17,700 a month in child support. That was five times what he actually earned.
If he set foot in Canada, he would be arrested at the border.
When he asked the judge how he’d feed his daughter from his second marriage, he says the court’s answer was simple: “They can rot in hell.”
In 1997, Foley was starring on NBC’s NewsRadio and making about $1 million a year. That year, he separated from his first wife, Tabatha Southey.
An Ontario judge set his payments at $17,700 a month, or $212,400 a year after taxes, based on his sitcom salary.
Two years later, NBC canceled the show. His income dropped by nearly 80%.
He went back to court to lower the payments. The judge said no. The court ruled he had made $1 million once, so he should keep paying like he still did.
His ex-wife lived in a $2.5 million house on a park in Toronto. Foley rented a small loft in downtown LA.
By 2011, he owed more than $500,000 in back payments. Ontario threatened to pull his passport and issued a warrant for his arrest if he came home.
In the video below, Foley explains the math: “I’m paying about five times my income every month in child support, based on a show that hasn’t been on for 12 years.”
He couldn’t work in Canada again until he landed a new sitcom in 2014 and had his paychecks garnished at the source.
The case for the court: a parent shouldn’t get to slash support just because their career slows down.
The case for Dave: locking a canceled actor into 1990s sitcom money under threat of prison is extortion.
Should child support be tied to what you earn today, or the best year you ever had?
‼️MAJOR BREAKING: Carney's entire plan has collapsed.
First, the EU is preparing carbon tariffs that will hit Canadian exports hard, adding costs to steel, aluminum, cement and other goods as Brussels pushes its climate agenda onto trading partners.
Now comes a second blow: the EU has withdrawn its offer of associate member status for Canada, per sources to CBC.
EU members were not on board.
Carney's entire plan has COLLAPSED.
