"You close it and you won't have a country." President Trump said he told Iranian officials about the Strait of Hormuz. "You won't even make it back to your fu*king country."
"We may take over the Strait, if we have to," Trump said. "If they don't make a deal, we'll collect tolls."
Trump added the U.S. could become the "Guardian Angel" of the Strait, and take 20% of the oil.
Elon Musk criou, em um único dia, 4.400 novos milionários.
Quase 400 deles ultrapassaram os US$ 100 milhões.
Não são banqueiros nem investidores de risco. São funcionários da SpaceX: soldadores, técnicos, mecânicos e até funcionários da cantina. Durante vinte anos, a empresa pagou gente de todos os níveis com ações, não só com salário alto. Quem produziu colheu.
Juan Hernandez, imigrante mexicano, aceitou um emprego de soldador por US$ 28 a hora em 2015, sem nem saber direito o que era a SpaceX. Recebeu uma pequena participação de US$ 10 mil e pôde comprar mais por desconto em folha. Hoje sua fatia vale US$ 880 mil.
Trevor Hise ignorou os conselhos dos pais para pegar um emprego “seguro” na General Electric. Escolheu a SpaceX, ficou 12 anos e acumulou mais de 100 mil ações. Ao preço da listagem, são US$ 13,5 milhões. Aos 37 anos, ele já pode se aposentar. Palavras dele: “A magnitude disso é ridícula.”
O detalhe mais eloquente veio antes mesmo da abertura de capital: mais de 100 funcionários se uniram discretamente para contratar uma gestora de fortunas capaz de cuidar de até US$ 5 bilhões. Muitos nunca tinham precisado de wealth manager na vida.
Há décadas os IPOs de empresas de tecnologia enriquecem programadores. Desta vez, o dinheiro chegou ao chão de fábrica. Isso é capitalismo de verdade: quem arrisca, quem trabalha e quem entrega valor colhe frutos proporcionais.
A esquerda odeia esse tipo de história. Porque ela prova que a verdadeira ascensão social não vem de dividir a miséria alheia, mas de criar riqueza que eleva quem tem coragem de construir.
@GovPressOffice You really have no shame at all. You guys talk as if you are actually good at keeping costs down. You run one of the most unaffordable state in the nation.
You guys are terrible at this, you only seem to know how to make life unreasonable expensive.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump Ally Bari Weiss set to take over CNN after Paramount-Warner Bros merger is complete.
Bari Weiss currently leads CBS, and is expected to serve as lead for both media organizations in the future.
Reporter: “If everything you say is true, how does being part of that network justify being shot?”
Vice President JD Vance: “Well, being part of the network doesn’t justify being shot, but ramming an ICE officer with your car—that justifies being shot. Not a good thing, by the way, but when you force somebody to engage in self-defense, it’s almost a preposterous question.”
“You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourself become agents of propaganda, of a radical fringe that’s making it harder for us to enforce our laws?”
“You just asked me a question that presumed this woman died while engaging in legitimate protest. She tried to run somebody over with her car, and the guy defended himself.”
“Next question!”

My theory: Convincing young people they are powerless victims makes them more likely to have mental health issues. Conversely belief in your own agency and ability leads to much stronger mental health.
General rule: if the best thing that can happen for you or your organization is something awful and then you tell us something awful happened, we should be skeptical that the awful thing actually happened.
KEEPING OUR HOMELAND SAFE.
On Sunday, @CBP officers at the Area Port of Nogales seized dozens of weapons from a car attempting to cross the border — including a ROCKET-PROPELLED GRENADE.
The other weapons included four rifles, an AK-style pistol, 16 AK rifles, 24 rifle magazines, 16 rifle stocks, 20 pistol grips and other weapon parts
Under the leadership of @POTUS Trump and @SecMullin, we will continue working to keep dangerous weapons like these OFF our streets.

Apparently, the "moderate" Democrat thinks: “God is non-binary," Jesus Christ was a "radical feminist," "white skin gives every white American immunity from the virus," and our U.S. border should be like "a welcome mat."
Oh, and they're for "trans" abortion.
Bill Clinton is playing saint now, but he is a proven sexual predator.
Here is the list of the women we know he took advantage of:
1⃣ Juanita Broaddrick — Alleged rape in a Little Rock hotel room in 1978 (while Clinton was Arkansas Attorney General). Went public in 1999 during the Paula Jones case.
2⃣ Paula Jones — Alleged sexual harassment in 1991 (as Arkansas governor): propositioned her and exposed himself in a hotel room. Filed a 1994 lawsuit, settled out of court in 1998 for $850,000 (mostly legal fees).
3⃣ Kathleen Willey — Alleged groping and forced contact in the Oval Office in 1993 (while she was a White House volunteer).
4⃣ Leslie Millwee — Alleged three sexual assaults in 1980 (while she was a TV reporter in Arkansas).
5⃣Monica Lewinsky 1995–1997 gross abuse of power due to the age/power imbalance.
6⃣Gennifer Flowers - 12-year extramarital affair with then-Arkansas Governor.
To honor Bill Clinton’s testimony under oath today, let me recount some of Bill’s sexual predation. He’s guilty AF.
When I was the Air Force Military Aide to President Clinton, I traveled with him everywhere. One night, we were returning to D.C. late after a long trip to Europe on AF-1. We landed at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, like we always do. We helicoptered on Marine One to the White House. We were all tired. It was around midnight when we landed on the South Lawn.
After deplaning with the “Nuclear Football” and a few of the president’s bags, I followed him to the residence elevator and ensured he was good before sending him up to bed. The presidential valets were ready to receive him. I headed to my bedroom in the East Wing. I was bushed. I showered and crawled into my bed to fall asleep to the TV. Shortly thereafter, my phone rang, and it was the AF-1 presidential pilot. “Buzz, we have a problem,” he said. "Oh s**t,” I thought.
Apparently, Clinton had cornered a female AF-1 steward in the galley and molested her. She was young, a staff sergeant, and married with children. I knew her, liked her, and she was super sweet. Now, she was in tears and sitting in front of the AF-1 pilot and commander. I asked the pilot, a really good guy, what she wanted. He told me that she didn’t want to be another “bimbo”; she wanted to remain in the Air Force and be promotable.
All she wanted was an apology. She just wanted it to go away. In the time of Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey, this wasn’t surprising to me. It was, however, terribly disappointing and sad. I knew inherently that if I, or anybody else in the military, had done something similar, we’d be at Fort Leavenworth breaking big rocks into little rocks. Yet here was the “commander in chief,” and all he was facing was the prospect of an apology. I was appalled.
So, that morning, a few hours later, and as a young major, I had to walk to the Oval Office and tell the President of the United States that he needed to apologize to the young lady for his assault. Over my years as a combat pilot, I’ve been shot at with hot metal by men who really wanted to kill me, but this was the toughest day in my life. I remember on my way to talk with him thinking, “I didn’t sign up for this sh*t.”
I approached Clinton in the Oval Office. I’d arranged for his personal aide to be there too. He was nonplussed. Quiet. But he didn’t seem ashamed or embarrassed.
Two weeks later, on our next trip, we got the two together on board AF-1 in the president’s office, and he offered a very uncontrite “half apology.” He didn’t care. He was filling a square and covering his tracks. It was stunningly disappointing.
If anybody in the military had done that, it would’ve been jail, expulsion, or both. It would’ve been Fort Leavenworth. But not for this president, not for this man. It was just another day. Yet another in my experiences working for a man with absolutely no integrity and no moral fiber. Character matters in people, especially our leaders, and in Bill Clinton, there was none.
Sam Darnold on how his year with the 49ers helped him:
“It’s funny how it works. I didn’t play great football the first few years of my career, and then I came here to San Francisco, and I learned a ton. Because of that year in San Francisco, I was able to learn a ton. Learned from Brock Purdy and coach Shanahan.”

I've made ads for the Super Bowl before. Spent millions to make them and air them during the Big Game.
But this one -- this is the one that made the most impact. Zero media dollars. 40m views. Because it speaks the truth.
Ban us all you want.
Truth outs in the end.
