[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.

What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.

GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.

In the summer of 2010, David Fajgenbaum was everything a young man could hope to be.
He had been a Division I college quarterback. He spoke multiple languages. He was in his third year at one of America's top medical schools, the University of Pennsylvania. He had his whole life mapped out in front of him.
Then his body turned on him.
Almost overnight, his organs began failing. His lymph nodes swelled. He was exhausted beyond anything he had ever felt. Within days, he was rushed to the emergency room. Weeks of testing followed. Finally, doctors gave it a name: Castleman disease — a rare and catastrophic condition where the immune system attacks the body's own organs.
There was no cure. There was barely a treatment.
A priest came to his hospital room and read his last rites.
David said goodbye to his family.
Then, somehow, an aggressive round of chemotherapy pulled him back from the edge.
But it didn't hold. Within three years, he collapsed again. And again. And again. Five times in total, he came to the edge of death. Five times, chemotherapy bought him a little more time.
After the fifth collapse, his doctors sat with him and said the words no patient wants to hear: his body had received the maximum amount of chemotherapy a human being can survive. If he relapsed again, there would be nothing left to give him.
He would die.
Most people, hearing that, would have spent whatever time remained saying goodbye.
David Fajgenbaum picked up a medical journal.
From his hospital bed, between treatments, he began doing something no patient had ever done before — systematically studying his own disease with the full knowledge of a trained physician. He analyzed thousands of pages of his own medical records. He tested his own blood samples, looking for patterns invisible to everyone else because no one else had both the data and the desperate motivation to find them.
And he found something.
In his lymph node samples, a specific protein signaling pathway called mTOR was firing at abnormally high levels — essentially sending the immune system into a frenzy that destroyed his own organs. It was a clue no one had spotted because no one had looked in quite that way before.
Then he searched for something that could stop it.
He found it in an unlikely place: a medication called sirolimus, already approved and available, commonly used to prevent organ rejection after kidney transplants. No one had ever tried it for Castleman disease. But on paper, its mechanism was a near-perfect match for what David had found in his own blood.
Under his doctor's supervision, he began taking it.
Within days, his symptoms vanished.
Not improved. Vanished.
The man doctors had given up on walked out of the hospital. He finished medical school. He married his girlfriend Caitlin. He became a father. He became one of the youngest faculty members ever to receive tenure at Penn Medicine.
And then he turned around to face everyone still waiting in the dark.
He founded the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network, building the first global research effort for a disease that had none. He launched Every Cure — an organization that uses artificial intelligence to search all existing approved drugs for hidden matches with diseases that currently have no treatment. The idea is simple and revolutionary: there are over 1,500 approved drugs in the world and over 7,000 diseases with no treatment. The cures may already exist. They just haven't been matched yet.
Over 15 years, Fajgenbaum and his partners have helped advance 28 repurposed drugs — 14 directly led by him. MedicalXpress
A priest once came to read him his last rites.
Today, David Fajgenbaum has authored over 100 scientific papers, appeared on TIME's list of the world's most influential people in health, and continues to take his small sirolimus tablet every single morning the pill he found himself, in the darkest room of his life, when no one else was looking.
He didn't wait to be saved.

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

[David Hunt @RealDaveHunt]

This run by the @nyknicks is nothing short of miraculous…after a 53 wait for a championship…they have looked like a team of destiny since game 4 against the Hawks…and btw, they do not get to pick their opponents, so enough with the “they’re not playing the best teams” nonsense…who cares? #Knicks @NBA

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

@Mr_Husky1 @JessieJaneDuff A fantastic story

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

To the Metropolitan Police,

You were the gold standard. The model every nation copied. When Scotland Yard spoke, criminals listened. That badge meant integrity. It meant courage. It meant the law applied equally, without fear or favour.

Look at you now.

You are a punchline. A cautionary tale. A force that clears up fewer than one in ten burglaries while your officers film TikTok videos in uniform. You arrested a man in Lancashire at dawn for a Facebook post in 2024 while grooming gangs operated in Rochdale for years with barely a raised eyebrow. You invented non-crime hate incidents so you could harass pensioners for wrongthink while real victims wait on hold.

You kneeled for mobs in 2020 while statues fell and businesses burned. You stood aside while extremists marched with impunity, then raided homes over memes. You have turned the oldest police force in the world into a politicised enforcement squad for the narrative, not the public.

You chose diversity dashboards over clear-up rates. You chose community engagement over enforcement. You chose the approval of NGOs and Twitter mobs over the safety of the people who pay your wages. You chose feelings over facts, and political safety over actual policing.

You did not lose your way. You sold it. Slowly, deliberately, one diversity training course at a time, one apology tweet at a time, one decision to stand down while crime happened in front of you.

The British people see you now. We see the double standards. We see the collapse in basic standards. We see a force that looks more like political commissars than police officers. We see officers who remember their oath sidelined while the ideologues get promoted.

You wanted to be political enforcers. Congratulations. You got your wish. Now you get treated like political operatives. No more benefit of the doubt. No more automatic respect. You burned that.

The mask is off. The receipts are published. The record is being kept.

We are watching.

What a win by the @nyknicks!!!!! Fantastic!

'Earth, Wind & Fire' Review: Questlove's Vibrant Tribeca Opener
I can’t wait to see this!!! I had the good fortune of running into Questlove at LAX early one morning and he told me all about it before he started making it. It just sounds fabulous…! https://t.co/HCk6K3lFl8

[David Hunt @RealDaveHunt]

No no…you and your colleagues have created grievance and division by not applying the law equally. Your record on this issue is utterly disgraceful and you should be ashamed of yourself for conveniently using Farage as a distraction from the appalling policing policies that have allowed such tragedies to continue.

[David Hunt @RealDaveHunt]

@NikkiHaley You know them better than anyone…I would suggest pulling funding all together until the rampant corruption is rooted out. Of course sadly, that’s unlikely to ever happen…

[David Hunt @RealDaveHunt]

Unbelievable story. When is this insanity going to end?

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

He Punished Officers For Telling The Truth. Then He Was Arrested For Stealing From Them.

Mukund Krishna was the first civilian chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales. He was a former management consultant born in India who relocated to the UK in 2007 and had no frontline policing experience. He was paid £701,100 a year, more than twice the salary of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and thirty times the salary of a starting constable. Across 2024 and 2025 his total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families.

On March 3rd 2026 the Police Federation publicly called for a minimum seven percent pay rise for officers, warning that morale and recruitment were suffering. The following morning Krishna was arrested by the City of London Police's Domestic Corruption Unit on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position. He has now been sacked. He will receive no further payments.

Before his arrest Krishna had used the Police Federation to do two things. Collect £1.4 million across two years. And punish officers who told uncomfortable truths about policing.

Rick Prior, the head of the Metropolitan Police Federation, was suspended in October 2024 after warning publicly that his members were increasingly nervous about challenging people from some ethnic minorities for fear of being labelled racist. His offence was stating precisely what the Henry Nowak case, the West Yorkshire Police sectarian policing story and the Rotherham and Rochdale grooming gang inquiries had all documented independently. Fear of a racism accusation was paralysing British policing. Prior named it. Krishna suspended him.

Richard Cooke was removed as chairman of the West Midlands Police Federation for posting a comment online disputing suggestions his force was institutionally racist. Krishna removed him too.

The High Court ruled both suspensions unlawful and a breach of Article 10 free speech rights. The Police Federation spent more than half a million pounds of its members' money defending the claim. Members who were using food banks. The man authorising that expenditure was collecting £701,100 a year and incurring legal costs exceeding £1 million in 2024 alone.

The problems were visible long before the arrest. In January 2025 Craig Hewitt, the Head of Civil Claims and National Board Member, resigned with a damning email exposing alleged long-standing financial mismanagement. A Tortoise Media investigation found that the federation had used 14 confidentiality agreements in settlements costing more than £700,000 and that multiple senior officials faced disciplinary proceedings after questioning Krishna's approach. Glassdoor reviews from employees described a toxic working environment and a marked increase in questionable dismissals and suspensions of very senior officials.

The pattern is now complete and precisely documented. A civilian management consultant with no policing background was installed as the first chief executive of the organisation representing rank and file officers. He suppressed the officers who named the two tier policing problem. He spent members' money silencing them. Warning signs of financial mismanagement were documented and ignored. And he was arrested the morning after his organisation demanded better pay for officers some of whom could not afford to feed their families.

"Across 2024 and 2025 Krishna's total remuneration was £1.4 million. Some of the 145,000 rank and file officers his organisation represented were using food banks to feed their families."

We have reached a strange place, where you can drain a river, poison a coastline, and lean on people with no rights, and still be thanked for saving the planet, so long as the damage happens somewhere you will never have to look. Follow the virtuous plate home, one item at a time, and watch the halo slip off it.

The avocado came from Michoacán, where the cartels run the orchards, divert the rivers, and murder the people who object.

The almonds in the milk came from California, drawn out of a drought and an emptying aquifer, pollinated by bees trucked three thousand miles across a continent and worked to exhaustion in a fortnight.

The salad was grown under a sea of plastic in Almería, by migrant workers on thirty euros a day in forty-five-degree heat, on groundwater so poisoned the region now has to import its own.

The peppers were grown beside a Spanish lagoon that has died so many times they had to give it the legal rights of a person just to defend it in court.

The cashews were shelled by hand by people whose fingers were burned by the acid in the husk.

The cotton bag it all came home in helped drain the fourth largest lake on earth into a salt desert.

Every item crossed thousands of miles, from somewhere left drier, poorer, and more poisoned for having grown it.

And the person carrying that bag home walks past a field ten miles up the road, where a cow stands in the rain turning grass nobody can eat into food, dropping dung that feeds the soil it stands on, on land that has looked more or less the same for a thousand years, and thinks, with total sincerity: there it is. The thing destroying the planet. A cow. Burping in a meadow.

It is one of the strangest acts of misdirection of the age. We built a supply chain that strips deserts, drains rivers, flattens forests and runs on people with no rights, and we taught ourselves to feel virtuous about it, purely because the alternative was an animal we could see, standing in a field we could walk to.

The cow you can point at gets the blame. The catastrophe you cannot see gets a halo and a sticker that says plant-based.

Heal the planet, they say, with the asparagus flown in from a drought.

Both men said “I can’t breathe”, but only one man’s death was covered relentlessly by the media.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the legacy mainstream media is incredibly, hatefully racist against Whites.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

While the UN continues to serve Hamas by demonizing Israel and the Jewish people, let’s not forget who works for the UN “humanitarian agencies” in Gaza.

Here is a video of Hamas terrorists who didn’t remove their military uniforms and weapons as they started their shifts as UN employees in Gaza.

The UN and the legacy media don’t want this video to go viral because Western countries have laws that prohibit terrorist financing. So please retweet this video and let’s force your government to cut all foreign aid to the UN and its agencies!

Here are two other UK power records:
1. Highest industrial energy costs in the world.
2. Second highest domestic energy costs in the world.
As E Miliband says, we’re setting an example for the rest of the world. Indeed we are. Which is why nobody is following us.

The Iranian regime has never acted on good faith. It’s always the same play: stall, buy time, realign.

We should not release assets or give sanctions relief until we have full access to and control of their nuclear material.
