“They are gonna try and destroy this man.”

Saagar Enjeti says Republicans will come after Joe Kent for resigning and saying Israel got the U.S. into war with Iran for nothing.

“This is the National Director of Counterterrorism, highest security clearance in the entire United States government.”

“I guarantee you they will try to indict him.”

“They’re gonna say he breached his security clearance by sharing information, that he was never a real patriot, that he’s a snake, that he’s an anti-Semite.”

“The full stop of the pro-war machine and the US government are going to try and destroy this man.”

“Just watch and wait.”

“This should be wall-to-wall news.”

“We never even really had high-profile resignations like this under Iraq.”

“And I mean, I think the fact that you have a high-level security official with the top security clearance saying this is Israel’s war, that they manipulated the intelligence… you have to ask seriously about all of the lies that have been told by this White House.”

“And I think second, what did he know to have to resign at this point?”

“He knew no end in sight.”

“And that’s why he decided to do it now.”

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

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.

We’re spending $200B+ a year on data centers to power AI. One company raised $11M, grew human brain cells on a chip, and the cells taught themselves to play a 3D shooter in a week.

Cortical Labs grew 200,000 human neurons on a silicon chip and taught them to play Doom. The cells navigate, target enemies, and fire weapons in real time. Their previous game, Pong, took 18 months on older hardware. Doom took a week. An independent developer with zero biotech experience built the integration using a Python API. The neurons did the rest.

That compression from 18 months to one week tells you everything about where this is going.

Here’s what the “can it run Doom” crowd is missing: each CL1 unit costs $35,000. A full 30-unit server rack draws 850 to 1,000 watts total. Your brain runs on 20 watts. A single GPU cluster training an LLM can draw megawatts. The energy economics of biological compute are orders of magnitude better than silicon, and that gap scales.

The investor list tells you who’s paying attention. Horizons Ventures, Blackbird, and In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture arm. In-Q-Tel doesn’t fund science projects. They fund intelligence infrastructure. 115 units started shipping in 2025.

Cortical Labs is now selling “Wetware-as-a-Service” through the Cortical Cloud. Developers can deploy code to living neurons remotely without touching a lab. They’re pricing access at the level of a software subscription while the hardware runs on real human brain cells derived from adult skin and blood samples.

The Doom demo is marketing. The platform play is a bet that biological neurons will eventually outperform silicon at exactly the tasks AI struggles with most: real-time adaptation under uncertainty, learning from minimal data, and processing ambiguity without brute-force compute.

The question was never “can it run Doom.” The question is what happens when it can run everything else.

[Lena Petrova @LenaPetrovaOnX]

One of the biggest presidential campaign deceptions in modern US history:

President Trump in 2020: "We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."

[Smartson @mcfc_son]

Trump name appearing in those Epstein files more than 30,000 times has creates enormous vulnerability to coercion, especially when foreign policy, war decisions or sudden reversals happen that contradict prior public positions. Blackmail doesn’t require morality, it only requires secrets and power.

Whether it’s sexual crimes, financial corruption or buried associations, the pattern is clear:
when leaders are compromised, they stop acting independently. War decisions made under that kind of pressure are not about national interest, they’re about self preservation.

So yes, the real scandal isn’t just the wars themselves, but how compromised leadership makes war easier to manufacture. That’s why transparency, full release of all files and independent investigations aren’t optional they’re essential. The truth doesn’t fear daylight.

[Mike Recine @mikerecine]

I think what a lot of you libtards don’t understand is that he didn’t want war, he was blackmailed into it because he is a child molester.

You can actually pinpoint the exact second the State Department spokesperson’s soul leaves his body. Absolute deer-in-the-headlights moment when asked why Israel’s 200 unacknowledged nukes don’t violate US foreign aid laws.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Your tax dollars paid for this dipshit to fly on a Gulfstream G550 to Milan to cosplay as an olympian. Can someone in Congress please subpoena how much Patel's make-a-wish trip cost us?

Americans seeing their honeypotted FBI Director partying and chugging beers like a clout obsessed bltch while the Epstein Files have been buried, the case has been closed, and the pedophiles are still out there trafficking children.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I am not a fan of Tucker Carlson. I disagree a lot with Carlson. But as an interviewer, Carlson actually, brilliantly, asks follow-up questions, and keeps going, in a way that pretty much no US TV interviewer has done with pro-Israel guests since Oct 7.
And Huckabee falls apart.

TUCKER: “How much does it matter what Americans think?”
