Seriously guys, whatever happened to:

• the DOGE checks
• tariff checks
• the Greenland hospital boat
• 10% APR on credit cards
• my meds being 1500% cheaper
• $2 gas
• the Epstein files
• reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open
• cheaper groceries
• ending wars in 24 hours
• the “privately funded” ballroom

Any updates?

No more billionaires. None.

Once you hit $999 million, every extra cent goes to schools and health care.

You get a trophy that says: “I won capitalism.”

And we name a dog park after you.

@brivael Francia exporta libertad, igualdad y fraternidad desde hace 237 años. Quienes invocan el "wokismo" como destrucción de la humanidad simplemente reflejan su falta de respeto de la identidad ajena, y su necedad de valores, mientras piden respeto a sus ideas niegan las de los demás.

Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Musk got $512 billion richer since Trump was elected & is now worth $815 billion.

He wants to cut Social Security and Medicare by $500-$700 billion a year.

You’re not angry enough.

🇫🇷 Mai 1964, le Général de Gaulle répond aux polémiques sur son absence aux commémorations du débarquement 6 juin et rappelle l'importance du rôle des Français dans la Libération de la France :

« Ces messieurs de la presse qui me reprochent de ne pas aller en Normandie vingt ans après, que faisaient-ils alors ? S'étaient-ils battus pour que la France recouvre sa liberté, pour qu'elle contribue à sa délivrance ? Que faisaient-ils pendant la guerre ? Ils ne se battaient ni en Normandie, ni ailleurs. La Libération s'est passée sans eux. Elle s'est passée d'eux.

Vous croyez que les Américains et les Anglais ont débarqué en Normandie pour nous faire plaisir ? Ce qu'ils voulaient, c'était glisser vers le nord le long de la mer, pour détruire les bases des V1 et des V2, prendre Anvers et, de là, donner l'assaut à l'Allemagne. Paris et la France ne les intéressaient pas. Leur stratégie, c'était d'atteindre la Ruhr, qui était l'arsenal, et de ne pas perdre un jour en chemin.

Churchill avait demandé à Eisenhower d'essayer de libérer Paris pour Noël. Il lui avait dit : "Personne ne pourra vous en demander davantage." Eh bien si, nous étions décidés à demander davantage ! Le peuple de Paris s'est soulevé spontanément et il aurait été probablement écrasé sous les décombres, comme le peuple de Varsovie, s'il n'avait pas été soutenu. Mais il y avait des hommes qui, trois ans plus tôt, à Koufra, s'étaient juré de libérer Paris, puis Strasbourg. Ce sont eux qui ont libéré Paris avec son peuple.

Mais nous n'avions pas l'accord des Américains. Quand j'ai vu que l'insurrection parisienne allait être écrasée par une division allemande intacte qui arrivait de Boulogne-sur-mer, j'ai donné l'ordre à Leclerc de foncer. C'est ainsi que nous avons évité à Paris le sort de Varsovie. Nous avons obligé les Anglo-Saxons à changer de stratégie. Les Américains ne se souciaient pas plus de libérer la France que les Russes de libérer la Pologne. Ce qu'ils voulaient, c'était en finir avec Hitler, en essuyant le moins de pertes possible. Ce qu'ils voulaient épargner, c'était le sang des boys, ce n'était pas le sang, les souffrances et l'honneur des Français.

Effectivement, si les Anglo-Saxons avaient pu mener leur stratégie jusqu'au bout, ils auraient peut-être réussi à frapper l'Allemagne au cœur plus vite. De toute façon, Hitler aurait fini par être battu, et la France aurait fini par être libérée. Mais si les Français étaient restés passifs, si nous n'avions pas eu de part à la défaite d'Hitler, c'est au bout du compte lui qui aurait vaincu la France. »

A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.

> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.

> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.

> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.

> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.

> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.

> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.

> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.

> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.

> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.

> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.

> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.

> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.

> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.

> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.

> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.

The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ.

The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles.

Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough.

The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan.

Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth.

The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times.

Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost.

And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one.

Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.”

The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption.

The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.
