American operators hold ~1,000 MHz of low and mid band spectrum, tunable on the @AST_SpaceMobile network. With our current satellites in orbit and in build, our United States partners will access critical low-band and mid-band spectrum that no one can match!

When combined with the mobile network operators' extensive spectrum assets, and in combination with AST SpaceMobile controlled 45 MHz of L-band spectrum, users will see peak data rates of nearly 200 Mbps from the largest-ever satellites in low Earth orbit.

Together we are making the strongest, most resilient, AI ready networks on the planet. 🇺🇸 🌎📶📱🤠

@uphillmarket_ @SpaceInvestor_D Iridium is strictly narrowband—limited to texting, SOS, and pings. Not even close to being a real competitor.

🚨 NATIONAL SECURITY WARNING, AMERICA - DO YOU KNOW WHO IS FLYING YOUR PLANE?

JIHAD IN THE SKIES IS A THREAT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE.

Today: Dubai to Israel. A co-pilot accused of stabbing the captain and trying to crash the aircraft.

Passengers fight back. A passenger reports hearing the Islamic war cry:

“ALLAHU AKBAR.”

The same words captured on the cockpit recording of hijacked Flight 93 on 9/11.

Now look at what an American Muslim pilot is broadcasting from our own skies:

“Allahu Akbar.”
Prayer during flights.
Halal requirements.
Complaints about prayer rooms.

🔺 Even a prayer mat displayed in the cockpit during a flight.

ISLAM. AIRCRAFT. COCKPIT. REPEAT.

He wanted these images seen.

NOW AMERICA SEES THEM.

DID HIS AIRLINE APPROVE ITS COCKPIT BEING USED FOR HIS NONSTOP ISLAMIC SOCIAL-MEDIA CONTENT?

Americans watched jihadists turn passenger jets into weapons. They have every right to question what is being broadcast from the cockpit.

THE COCKPIT ISN’T A STAGE. PASSENGER TRUST ISN’T A SOCIAL-MEDIA EXPERIMENT.

Aviation safety comes before political correctness.

NEVER FORGET WASN’T A SLOGAN. IT WAS A WARNING.

Starship Flight 14 launch and orbit was a success, but what did the launch sound and feel like form Port Isabel, about 5 miles away?

Here is a visual & audio experience almost as good as being there! If you haven't been to a Starship launch, you really need to plan a trip! @esherifftv

Sound UP!

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

Absolutely incredible…

TRUMP: "It’s deeply ironic that the UN has an entire institution devoted to protecting cultural heritage, yet they promote mass migration and are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage."

[M McDonald @mart1244]

@raiichhum @StatCruxReport @realBrandonGill No, Islamism has fully infiltrated our government. While CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood subvert the Republic and western civilization from within, you assist their efforts by promoting absurd antisemitic Jew conspiracy theories.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

Goosebumps.

For all its faults, Western Christian culture is still worth defending.

[M McDonald @mart1244]

@TuckerCarlson 10/7 probably the most heinous orgy of murderous sadistic violence ever perpetrated against innocent women, children, families and even pets. Unspeakable evil cruelty…fully self documented. And you dare promote this “rape fantasy” straw man argument?

🚨 In February The Department of War didn’t just cancel a contract with Anthropic AI.

They treated Anthropic as a hostile vendor and forced the whole defense industrial base off Claude.

Anthropic wanted corporate veto power over defense weapon systems. The DOW rejected them.

Hegseth called it a " Supply-Chain Risk to National Security "

I find it funny that it's now Anthropic "sounding the alarm" on A.I. being too "powerful"

Anthropic isn't the good the guys. They are a company retaliating against the Trump administration for terminating their contract with the DOW.

Add the $90 million coming from China to fund anti AI data centers in America. We have a full blown colluding with the Chinese communist party to stall and slow down American innovation.

@Tophamhat111 @Red_Command @Adam_FaithfulM Everything is debatable. Check the context and chronology. That was before. It all changes after the crucifixion Luke 22:36: “…but NOW…if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

The man who carried the cross for Jesus didn't volunteer.

He was grabbed.

Mark 15:21. And they compelled one Simon the Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

Picture it. A man walking into Jerusalem from the fields, minding his own business, and a Roman soldier's hand lands on his shoulder. You. The beam. Now.

Cyrene was in North Africa, modern Libya. Over a thousand kilometers from Jerusalem. Simon had made that journey for Passover, the holiest week of the year, and on the biggest morning of the feast he took the wrong street.

Now look at the word Mark uses. Compel.

In Greek it's angareuō. It comes from the old Persian courier system: a royal messenger could stop any civilian and requisition his horse, his cart, his back. Rome kept the custom. A legionary could grab any man on the road and make him carry the army's load, no questions asked. It was the most hated power the occupier had.

You've heard that word before. Jesus used it.

Matthew 5:41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Same verb. Angareuō.

Jesus stood on a hillside and told a crowd: when the soldier grabs you and makes you carry his load, don't just go the one mile the law requires. Go two.

Two years later, a soldier grabbed a man who had never heard that sermon and made him carry the Preacher's own cross.

Then Luke adds his detail.

Luke 23:26. On him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

After Jesus. Behind Him. Following.

Now flip back fourteen chapters in the same book. Luke 9:23. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Luke wrote both sentences. He knew exactly what he was doing. Jesus preached take up your cross and follow me and the first human being in history to do it literally was a stranger from Libya who was forced.

Think about what Simon actually carried.

By the time the soldiers grabbed him, Jesus had already been scourged. Roman whips had lead and bone in the tips. His back was open. He'd been carrying the beam on it. The wood was wet.

Simon put that wood on his own shoulders. And walked behind Jesus, close enough to watch His back, the back Isaiah had written about seven hundred years earlier. I gave my back to the smiters.

He went to Golgotha with the blood of Christ soaked into his clothes.

Not a disciple. Not a believer. Not a volunteer. Just the man closest to the wrong soldier at the wrong moment.

And then Mark does something strange.

He names Simon's sons. Alexander and Rufus.

Why? Mark doesn't name the thieves on the cross. He doesn't name the centurion. He doesn't name the servant girl who broke Peter. But he stops the crucifixion narrative to tell you who Simon's kids were.

There's only one reason a writer does that.

His readers knew them.

The early church was unanimous that Mark wrote his gospel in Rome. And Paul, writing to the church in Rome, ends his letter with a list of greetings.

Romans 16:13. Salute Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Rufus. In Rome. A man Paul singles out as chosen. And a mother Paul says had mothered him too.

Many scholars think that's Simon's son and Simon's wife.

If they're right, and it is the simplest explanation for Mark's detail, then here is what happened to the man who was grabbed on the road.

He went home to a wife and two boys, with another man's blood on his coat, and something he saw on that hill went through the whole household. Thirty years later his sons are known by name in the church in the capital of the empire. His wife is looking after the apostle Paul like a son.

Simon never says a word in the Bible. We have no record of his conversion, no sermon, no prayer. We only have the fruit. Two boys the church knew. A mother Paul loved.

He was forced to carry the cross one mile.

His family carried it for the rest of their lives.

Now you.

You didn't volunteer for the thing on your back either. Nobody does. You were walking in from the country, minding your own life, and a hand landed on your shoulder. The diagnosis. The child who needs more than you have. The grief you're still standing in. The debt. The parent who can't remember your name.

Ask Simon how it felt on Friday morning. Worst luck of his life. Ruined his Passover. A stranger's blood on his shoulders.

Ask him by Sunday.

The thing you were forced to carry is the only reason his name is in the Bible.

And notice where he was standing while he carried it.
Luke told you. After Jesus.

The forced cross is never carried alone. You're behind Him. He's already walked that road with a worse version of the same beam, and He's in front of you right now, close enough to see His back.

You didn't choose it.

Pick it up anyway.

He's in front of you.

@texaseattle Hey @grok, Has one single credentialed architect, engineer, designer of an ultra tall, skyscraper, fundamentally disputed the NIST report?

[Shawn Farash @Shawn_Farash]

This is one of the best and most moving political ads I have ever seen.

New York... Vote BLAKEMAN for Governor this November.

There are tons of 9/11 families in NY who feel this way. This type of pain doesn't fade. These kinds of wounds never fully heal.

Do it for them.

@texaseattle @aetheldrea47215 According to Grok:

[M McDonald @mart1244]

@aetheldrea47215 @texaseattle True, but thats pure aluminum at its lowest melting temp uncontaminated, not mixed with all the organic material present here at 1800 deg. Also, the yellow-orange glow doesn't match molten steel anyway which would be yellow-white. Molten aluminum best candidate.

[M McDonald @mart1244]

@texaseattle A bit selective using the term “expert” as if all the scientists architects and engineers of NIST, ASCE, MIT, UMD are not. I think some of the best evidence against controlled demolition is the fact that WTC 2 collapse started asymmetrically leading to a progressive collapse.
