Celebrating America’s 250th birthday in Front Royal! 🇺🇸
It was a joy to join the town at their community block party – and to take part in the ‘potluck’. Their Majesties contribution was none other than… a Coronation Quiche! 🥧
‘America’s Potluck’ is a 250th celebration initiative, which aims to bring neighbours together across the country to share a communal meal and build a sense of connection in their community.
Thank you for having us! 👋
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Rep. Thomas Massie is pushing back on the big annual defense bill (NDAA).
He wants his amendment stripping Section 219, which would merge U.S. military tech and supply chains with Israel’s, to get a vote when the Rules Committee meets Monday night.
If they block it, he says he’ll vote against the rule.
Massie has long opposed deep U.S. military entanglements and foreign aid packages, specially concerning Israel.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu's son just disappeared on paper.
Yair Netanyahu, the PM's eldest, quietly changed his legal name to Yonatan Hun over the last 18 months. State registries. Tax records. Done.
His residential address on file: "Balfour 0." That's not a place. That doesn't exist.
His brother did the same thing five years ago. Changed his name, then paid £502k cash for a house in Oxford.
Their father changed his name in the 1980s too.
At what point is this a pattern?

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline
JD Vance names the trait he says is at the root of what's wrong with American elites.
MIKE ROWE: "Curiosity or humility? The greater virtue."
VANCE: "Humility.
"I think that it's extremely important not to assume you know more than other people."
VANCE: "So many of the problems that I see, especially among American elites, comes from a certain arrogance. An arrogance that I know better than somebody else. I know how to do this better than you do. I know what's better for your life than you do. That arrogance is the source of a lot of what's wrong.
"I love curious people, curiosity is very important. But how can you be genuinely curious if you're not humble?"
Hard to argue with that.

🚨 BREAKING: Thomas Massie introduced an amendment to block the integration of the U.S. and Israeli militaries.
Republican leadership is now refusing to bring this amendment for a vote.
This month, unless Donald Trump stops it, our treasonous Congress is likely to merge the US military with Israel’s genocidal armed forces. Dennis Kucinich on the end of American sovereignty.

American sovereignty could end this month.
Congress is preparing to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act. If the bill passes in its current form, it would merge the U.S. and Israeli military machines to make them effectively one and the same.
How could any American lawmaker support this? Even if you love Israel, it is impossible to deny that this NDAA undermines our country’s sovereignty.
The corporate media is going out of its way to ignore this story. They do not want the public to learn about it. We refuse to follow their lead. This episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, featuring an interview with former Congressman Dennis Kucinich, is a tell-all exposé on this jaw-dropping proposal.
Watch the full episode below:
The last time tall ships crowded these waters, they were carrying an empire out of America.
Everyone learns the American Revolution ended in 1781. The British stayed in New York for two more years anyway. When the order to leave finally came in August 1783, their commander faced the largest sealift of the century: 30,000 troops, 29,000 Loyalist refugees, and 3,000 formerly enslaved people the British had promised freedom for joining their side.
Ships of that era carried a few hundred passengers each. Moving 60,000 people meant hundreds of sailings out past Sandy Hook, running continuously from May to November. Whole regiments, whole congregations, whole families who had known only British rule boarded transports for Nova Scotia, the Caribbean, and England.
Washington waited outside the city the entire time. He timed his march down Broadway to the hour on November 25, 1783, so American troops entered as the last redcoats rowed out to their ships at the Battery. On their way out, the British greased the flagpole and nailed their flag to the top. A veteran named John Van Arsdale hammered cleats into the pole, climbed it, and raised the Stars and Stripes while the fleet was still in view.
Then the detail history class skips. The final shot of the entire American Revolution came from a departing British ship, fired at a crowd jeering from Staten Island. The cannonball fell short and splashed into the harbor.
Seven years of occupation ended with a shot that couldn't reach the shore. This week's fleet is sailing in over the exact water where the empire's last cannonball sank.
2014 clip shows how much Elon Musk appreciates taxpayers.
Host: Taxpayers essentially loaned you, Tesla, almost 500 million dollars. How much of that do you still owe?
Elon Musk: We paid the whole loan back with interest and a prepayment penalty last year.
Host: Did you have to do that? It wasn’t due, was it?
Elon Musk: I know it was not due for another ten years or something.
Host: Why did you pay it off early?
Elon Musk: The taxpayers supported Tesla. We ought to repay them as soon as we can. And since we had the ability to do it and the stock markets were good, we thought, “Well, let’s pay it back with interest and a thank you note, by the way,” which said, you know, “I really, really appreciate it. Thank you.”
