Kenny Loggins remembered Clive Davis as the first person to treat him as an artist rather than simply a musician.

Loggins said Davis helped redefine the record business by investing in artists’ long-term careers instead of focusing only on short-term success. https://t.co/dBBs68uYaE

Trump: "That's what being a leader is about. We have to be able to get proof of citizenship when you vote, otherwise you don't have elections. Hopefully he can get the votes."

THERE IT IS 🚨 USAID wasn’t saving millions of lives, it was a giant money laundering operation. Marco Rubio exposes:

- Only 12 cents of every dollar spent from USAID went to recipients, the other 88 cents went to NGOs who pocketed the money
- Even with the reforms we put in place and what we're suggesting in changes to our foreign aid, we still will provide more foreign aid, more humanitarian support than the next 10 countries combined

- China doesn't do humanitarian aid. China does predatory lending, they provide debt traps
- China has no zero record of doing humanitarian aid in the world

- The US State Department was captured, “The State Department had to change. It was no longer at the center of American foreign policy. It had often been replaced by the National Security Council or some other agency of government when in fact, we have these highly talented people -- that were being edged out."

I did the math on this and USAID gave about $280 billion over the last 10 years

That means

- $33.6 billion might have been spent on actual recipients
- $246 billion was laundered to NGOs

For reference it would only take about $40-$80 billion per year to end world hunger

They laundered more money then it would take to end world hunger for years

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran’s missile program was not included in its memorandum with the United States and would never be open to negotiation.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad after meeting Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pezeshkian rejected any discussion of Iran’s missile capabilities, saying: “The missile issue is not part of the memorandum we had, and it never will be.”

He defended Iran’s missile program as essential to the country’s defense, saying: “If we did not have our missiles, which are for our defense, Israel and the United States would have razed Iran like Gaza and would not have spared old or young.”

Pezeshkian accused Washington and Israel of hypocrisy on human rights, calling their claims “a big lie,” and added: “We will never, ever negotiate with anyone over our defense capability.”
