🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Governor candidate Steve Hilton just revealed the stunning reality of California fraud: They ALLOW mail-in ballots to BACKDATE by HAND so they can be counted late, and not invalid

"It's NOT just the postmark. YOU CAN HAND-WRITE THE DATE!"

"Just to be really clear: you can BACKDATE YOUR BALLOT."

"BY HAND."

"And it will be counted."

"That's how insane this system is."

This is MADNESS!! 🤯

BILLY BUSH: "That is OUTRAGEOUS."

Karmelo Anthony murdered Austin Metcalf in cold blood. Stabbed him through the heart.

He admitted it and the Jury found him Guilty

His sentence?

35 years with the possibility of parole.

He confessed.
The jury convicted him.
And he could be out on parole in less than 18 years, still a young man with his whole life ahead of him.

Austin Metcalf doesn't get 18 more years.

He doesn't get ANY.

The prosecutor said it best: mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Let that injustice sink in.

A robot just pulled two American pilots out of the sea near the Strait of Hormuz. It was the first time an autonomous sea drone has rescued people in a combat zone, and the war it happened in escalated within hours.

The confirmed part is genuinely remarkable. After a US Army Apache went down off Oman, the two crew spent about two hours in the water until a 24-foot Saronic Corsair, an unmanned vessel run by the Navy’s Task Force 59, found them and carried them to a helicopter hoist. No human rescue crew exposed, no second aircraft risked. Both pilots are safe. It is a real leap in how the US fights.

Then events moved faster than the evidence. Trump announced that Iran shot the helicopter down and that the US must respond. By 5 p.m. ET, CENTCOM was striking Iranian targets and calling it a proportional answer to unjustified Iranian aggression. Iran fired back overnight. No deaths have been reported on either side.

But the cause of the crash is not yet established. Washington says Iran shot it down. Tehran denies it, has claimed no responsibility, and points to an accident or a collision in a crowded, contested waterway. The evidence has not been released.

That gap is everything, because a deal was nearly done. A 60-day ceasefire extension and the reopening of the strait were days from signing. One disputed incident has now pulled American and Iranian forces back to trading fire over the same water.

This is how fragile truces die. Not on a clear decision, but on a murky incident that hardens into certainty before the facts are in.

3 days ago, Elon Musk sat in front of JP Morgan’s 3,500 wealthiest investors and explained why the AI economy is moving to space:

1. Starship is the first rocket in history designed to be fully reusable. Every other mode of transport... planes, cars, ships... you take reusability for granted. Rockets have always been thrown away after one use. That ends with Starship. Once you achieve full reusability, the only cost is fuel. Starship runs on liquid oxygen and methane. Both are cheaper than jet fuel.

2. Sending cargo to orbit will soon cost less than international air freight. This is not a distant projection. It is the direct mathematical outcome of reusable rockets plus cheap propellant. The economics of space change entirely.

3. Starlink V3 is 10 to 20 times more capable than what's currently in orbit. The satellite is so large it can only launch on Starship. It cannot fit on any other rocket on Earth. 100 times more bandwidth. Half the latency. It may become the highest bandwidth, lowest latency communication system that exists.

4. AI and robots will consume bandwidth at a scale humans cannot picture. Peak human bandwidth is a few hundred bits per second. A computer runs at a trillion. The appetite of AI for data infrastructure will be unlike anything built for human use. Starlink V3 is being built for that world... not this one.

5. Data centers are moving to space. Not as an experiment. As the primary way to scale AI compute going forward. It is increasingly hard to build power plants on the ground. Nobody wants one near their home. Space removes that constraint entirely.

6. From the moon, you can scale to 1,000 terawatts of compute per year. From Earth... maybe 1. The moon has no atmosphere and one-sixth Earth's gravity. You can manufacture solar panels from moon materials and launch data centers with a railgun. No rockets needed. The math on this is not close.

7. Current human civilization uses less than one trillionth of the sun's energy output. You could scale to a million times Earth's entire economy and still be using less than one millionth of what the sun produces. The ceiling on what's possible is so far above us it barely registers as a ceiling.

8. There is not a single high-volume computer memory fab in America right now. Zero. The chips needed to build the AI future do not exist in sufficient quantity anywhere in the Western world. That is why SpaceX is building one. Not to compete. Because there is no other option.

9. SpaceX has been cash flow positive since around 2014. The IPO is not a distress move. Past funding rounds were not even fundraising... they were liquidity events for employees. The company bought back its own stock. The IPO is happening now because the next phase requires capital private markets cannot absorb.

10. The senior team has barely changed in over a decade. The CFO has been there 15 years. Musk joined as the seventh employee in 2002. He says people who believe in the mission don't leave. And above technical skill, he now looks for one thing... whether someone is genuinely a good person.

• 1,000+ acres of land owned/under contract
• Over 11 million square feet of building potential
• Solar ingots and wafer, solar cells, and AI sats will also be produced here.

GUILTY.

A Texas jury just found Karmelo Anthony guilty of MURDER in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

The "self-defense" claim collapsed instantly. The teammates who were there told the truth. The evidence was overwhelming.

Anthony brought a knife to a track meet and plunged it into the chest of an unarmed boy who died in his twin brother's arms.

The jury saw right through it.

This is the justice system at work.

BARCLAYS CEO JUST DROPPED THE BOMBSHELL ABOUT DIGITAL ASSETS‼️

Institutions are waiting for the green light(Clarity Act) to legally use Digital Assets.

C.S. Venkatakrishnan: “Digital assets and stablecoins will be the backbone of future banking platforms and payments.”

Translation? They’re not just “exploring”, they’re positioning for the crypto-powered future rails.

Remember, Barclays couldn’t touch XRP directly due to regulatory restrictions, so they quietly co-invested in “SendFriend” with Ripple using XRP for remittances indirectly.

Now the same bank is publicly hyping exactly what Ripple does best.

This isn’t random. The quiet partnerships, the stablecoin plays, the tokenized future… it’s all connecting.

The Official Announcements from banks and institutions once Clarity Act passes, will have a Ripple effect on Digital Assets.

[Vaibhav Sisinty @VaibhavSisinty]

Okay this is genuinely insane.

SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.

It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.

AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.

They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.

So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.

In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.

And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."

One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.

AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.

And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.

The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.
