I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI. No company has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable and they will undoubtedly have Mythos 2 ready soon.

And I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor. That’s not my style.

Tesla open sourced its patents and we made the Supercharger network available to all competitors, even though we could have made it a walled garden.

SpaceX launches competing satellite systems with no increase in price or use of unfair terms.

Even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform.

NEW 🚨: El Salvador’s President Just Issued a Challenge to Trump—“You Have 350 Million People to Liberate.”

This wasn’t a photo op. It was a mission briefing.

At the White House, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele looked President Trump dead in the eye and said:

“You have 350 million people to liberate.”

Bukele isn’t just talking tough—he has the results to prove that it can be done.

“We turned the murder capital of the world—that’s what the journalists called it—into the safest country in the western hemisphere,” he said.

Critics complain about mass arrests.

Bukele fired back:

“Sometimes they say we imprisoned thousands. I like to say we liberated millions.”

Trump grinned: “That’s very good! Who gave him that line? Do you think I can use that?”

Then Bukele hit the heart of the problem:

“To liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some. That’s the way it works, right? You can’t just free the criminals and think crime’s going to go down magically. You have to imprison them—so you can liberate 350 million Americans asking for the end of crime and the end of terrorism.”

No fluff. No fantasy. Just facts.

This is what happens when real leaders speak truth.

America is finally ready to listen.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Born this day in 1925 in a Texas sharecropper's shack, one of twelve kids. His dad walked out, his mom died young, and Audie Murphy quit school in fifth grade to pick cotton and hunt rabbits to feed his brothers and sisters. He got deadly accurate with a rifle for one reason: the family couldn't afford a wasted bullet.

After Pearl Harbor he tried to enlist and got laughed off. The Marines rejected him. The Navy rejected him. The paratroopers rejected him. He was 5'5" and barely 110 pounds, and they all said he was too small to fight. His sister had to fudge his paperwork just to get the Army to take a 17 year old.

Then he went to war and became something out of a legend.

January 26, 1945, near Holtzwihr, France. His company was down to a handful of men facing six tanks and 250 German infantry. Murphy sent his men back, then climbed onto a burning American tank destroyer that could have exploded under him at any second, grabbed the .50 caliber machine gun, and held off the entire assault alone for nearly an hour. He was wounded in the leg and kept firing. When a buddy asked over the field phone how close the Germans were, he reportedly said hold on and let me ask them.

He came home the most decorated American soldier of the entire war. Every valor award the Army could give, some of them more than once, plus French and Belgian honors on top.

Life magazine put his baby face on the cover, James Cagney saw it and invited him to Hollywood, and the cotton picker who couldn't pass a physical became a movie star. He made over 40 films. In 1955 he played himself in To Hell and Back, the movie of his own memoir, and it was Universal's biggest hit until Jaws came along twenty years later.

But the war never let go. He had what we now call PTSD, slept with a loaded pistol under his pillow, and got hooked on sleeping pills trying to outrun the nightmares. He kicked the addiction by locking himself alone in a motel room for a week. Then he did something almost no famous man did back then: he went public, told the country that combat had wrecked his nerves, and pushed the government to study and treat what war does to a soldier's mind.

He died in a plane crash in 1971 at just 45 years old. They buried him at Arlington, where his simple headstone is the most visited grave in the cemetery after John F. Kennedy's.

Every branch told him he was too small to fight. He outfought all of them, then spent the rest of his life trying to help the men who came home broken like he did.

🚨 WOW! Sen. Mike Lee is REFUSING TO BACK DOWN off the SAVE America Act following a closed-door Senate GOP meeting where John Cornyn reportedly pushed back on Lee's approach

LEE: "Those who disagree with my support for the bill or the aggressive strategy I’m proposing for getting it passed are free to do so. But I’m not stopping." 🔥

"The SAVE America Act would help save America by restoring election security, which has gotten dangerously weak in recent years." @BasedMikeLee

KEEP FIGHTING for secure elections! 🇺🇸

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Dr. Joseph Warren died on this day in 1775, and he might be the most important Founding Father you were never taught about.

He was born in Roxbury, went to Harvard, and by his early thirties he was the most sought after doctor in Boston. He inoculated the Adams family against smallpox. He took on apprentices. He treated patients on both sides of the growing fight, redcoats included, because he was a doctor first. He was 34 and a widower raising four small children alone after his wife died in 1773.

He was also the quiet engine of the entire revolution in Massachusetts. He wrote the Suffolk Resolves. He ran the Committee of Safety. He stood up twice to give the Boston Massacre orations, and the second time, with British officers packing the room to intimidate him, the story goes that he climbed in through a window rather than be turned away, then delivered the speech to their faces.

On the night of April 18, 1775, it was Warren who learned the British army was about to march. He sent Paul Revere out one way and William Dawes the other to raise the alarm toward Lexington and Concord. There is no midnight ride without Joseph Warren. People have argued for two centuries about where he got his intelligence, and one long running rumor is that his secret source was close to General Gage himself.

The next morning he didn't sit safe behind a desk. He rode out to the fighting at Lexington and Concord and got into the thick of it. A British musket ball came so close it knocked a pin out of the hair beside his ear.

Three days before Bunker Hill, the Provincial Congress made him a major general. When he walked onto the hill on June 17, the officers there offered to hand him command of the whole field. He refused. He said he had come to fight as a volunteer, not to give orders, and he took a musket and went into the redoubt with the ordinary men, in the most dangerous spot on the line.

The Americans held off two British charges. On the third, low on powder, they were overrun. Warren stayed to cover the retreat and was shot in the head. The British knew exactly who they had killed. They stripped him, ran him through with bayonets, and threw him into a shallow pit with another body. A British officer later bragged that he had stuffed the scoundrel into the ground. General Gage is said to have remarked that Warren's death was worth that of 500 ordinary men.

Ten months later, after the British finally gave up Boston and sailed away, his friends went looking for him. The body was beyond recognition. The only reason they ever found him is that Paul Revere, a silversmith by trade, had once wired a false tooth into Warren's jaw with silver wire. Revere dug through the grave, saw his own work in the teeth, and knew. It is remembered as one of the first forensic dental identifications in American history.

His orphaned children were nearly forgotten too, until people like Benedict Arnold, years before he became a traitor, chipped in money to make sure they were raised and educated.

The most famous painting of the battle, by John Trumbull, isn't really about the battle at all. It's about the death of one man in the smoke.

The doctor who could have commanded an army chose to die in the dirt as a private soldier. He was 34 years old. 251 years ago today. Remember him 🇺🇸

Islam in Iran: Muslim husband smiles with his child bride’s severed head in public.

Mona Heidari was sold by her Muslim father at age 12 into a forced marriage with a monster. Her Muslim husband beat her if she failed to satisfy him sexually, feed him, or remain silent.

He subjected her to inhumane abuse and torture, enabled by Islamic authority. He tortured, raped, and inflicted sadistic violence on her, calling it marriage. She fell into depression shortly after the arranged marriage. At age 17, severely depressed and broken, unable to please him, she sought divorce and escape from Iran. He called his Muslim brother to punish her for disobedience.

They tied her hands and feet and tortured her to inflict maximum pain, ignoring her cries for mercy. No one called the police. In Iran under Islamic law, husbands are required to beat wives for discipline.

During the prolonged torment, the brothers mutilated her living body. Once she was too weak to resist, the enraged husband beheaded her. He then paraded her severed head through Ahvaz streets to restore family honor, showing pride.

Like many child brides in Iran and the Muslim world, Mona endured inhumane treatment from her husband and family, who knew of her suffering but blamed her for failing to obey.

Thousands of women in the Middle East and Asia are murdered yearly in “honor” killings—executions for dishonoring families or challenging male dominance.

Muslims may view these Islamic practices as justice fitting the will of Allah. In the civilized world, they are crimes against humanity, women, and human dignity.

Western leaders must not sacrifice women’s rights for political survival. Migrants seeking Western settlement must reject Islam’s Sharia laws or face asylum rejection.

This is not a “cultural difference.” This is barbarism enabled by Islamic doctrine. The West has no obligation to import or tolerate systems that treat women and girls as property to be bought, raped, tortured, and murdered.

As I urge all nations who have the same fight.

Come together we are under attack and have been for sometime. Forget divisions, labels and everything they created for us. Stand as one people defending their homes.

Our Governments no longer care about the safety and wellbeing of its people. They have sold us to GLOBALISM.

For years I've not been vocal enough about the UK and immigration over fears of being arrested.

But now, I've changed my mind.

Immigration, legal and illegal, is the number one threat to the United Kingdom.

After what happened in Belfast yesterday, I am happy to go to jail for speaking up about it.

With over 2 million followers, there is a serious risk I could be arrested for saying what I'm about to say but I do not care.

Every single immigrant to the UK must be deported, if they are not a net positive on our country.

Keir Starmer must immediately release the nationality and details of this terrorist, who tried beheading a man.

Time and time again, almost every week, a tragic terrorist attack is brushed under the rug because it's carried out by an immigrant.

Whether it's foolish religious rights allowing Henry Nowak to bleed to death, Axel Rudakubana massacring young girls and being given free reign in prison or now this tragedy in Belfast.

If you don't speak English, you must go.

If you don't like our country, you must go.

If million must go, then millions must go.

The only fix is mass deportations, and I do not care about the consequences of saying that.

Britain has never been more dangerous, and the real numbers of foreigners in this country are far beyond what we believe.

If I am not in prison, I will be running in the next general election and will be at the forefront of trying to save our United Kingdom.

I hope to run alongside @RupertLowe10 and @RestoreBritain if you will allow me.

May God Save our once Great Nation.

California is a communist state who picks the winners they want in each election.

The illusion of an election is just that, an illusion.

They use the drop boxes on the streets to stuff as many fake ballots as they need to choose the Democrat commie they want.

If that’s not enough, they’ll make up as many fake ballots as they need in the month that they’re “counting” ballots.

Their so-called elections might as well be in North Korea.
