THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR IT

Last night's presidential address wasn't carried live by several major TV networks, including ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN. Instead of airing the speech in full, some networks chose regular programming or provided only excerpts and analysis afterward.

The networks generally decide whether to carry presidential speeches based on what they consider newsworthy, scheduling, editorial judgment, and whether the address is an official White House event or a campaign-style speech. Critics on the right argue these decisions reflect media bias and reduce public access to hear the president's full message without commentary.

Whether you agree or disagree with the speech itself, shouldn't Americans have the opportunity to hear it in full and make up their own minds instead of relying on media filters?

Do you think major networks are making editorial decisions, or political ones? 🇺🇸

@pr0ud_americans The legacy media continues to be a devastating problem for our nation

[🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸 @Real_RobN]

This is:

The Department of the Homeland Security:

Without an ID “You can't

• Get a bank account
• You can't get a job
• You can't fly
• You can't get a loan
• You can't buy tobacco
• You can't buy alcohol
• You can't even sign up to scam government benefits unless you have an ID

But somehow when it comes to voting, it is going to limit the ability for people to vote or they may not have an ID — I don't get it. You can't argue with crazy, but that's exactly what they sound like”

Pass the SAVE America Act

When it comes to Iran, there's no other option than to finish the job. This regime is not going to change it stripes after nearly 50 years of terror from the Islamic Republic.

@KatiePavlich It seems likely that our president is trying to keep Turkey from becoming another failing NATO member. A difficult problem.

Benjamin Netanyahu: "There was a Palestinian state, it's called Gaza. We didn't get peace. We got the most horrific massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. They want to massacre us again and teach their children to be suicide bombers."

He's 100% correct.

American want Zohran Mamdani and Socialist out of America

“Hey, Mamdani — look down — that's what socialism brings anywhere it goes. Because unlike you, Mamdani, we have actually lived in a socialist country. If you like socialism so much, why didn't you try it in Uganda where you're from? In our country, we tried it, but I'm sure that's not real socialism…. because real socialism wherever has been tried results in this” (The death of millions)

“This is late-stage socialism for you. Not only the death and destruction of human beings, but the death and destruction of a society, the death of opportunity, the death of prosperity, the death of dreams of millions and millions of people”

This sculpture is in Liberty Park, in the middle of the Mojave Desert in California

It’s to serve as a reminder of communism killings millions of people; which is exactly what socialism leads to

Zohran Mamdani is a plant. His mother was photographed with Jeffrey Epstein. He didn’t just fly over here from Uganda and decide to run for office and win, this is all being orchestrated

Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.”

The Palestinians never wanted peace.

This must be shared every single day.

Douglas Murray nails it: "What Israel has been up against is... a cult of death which wishes to annihilate an entire race. And which after dealing with that race, has made very clear what it wants to do with Christians."

Israel is fighting on the front lines for the entire free world.

"The bitterest pill to swallow isn’t physical pain. It’s the sudden absence of someone who genuinely wants to listen to you." 💔
​At 96, Clint Eastwood shattered our comfortable illusions about growing old, refusing to sugarcoat the harsh truth. He brought his trademark grit to a topic most people prefer to avoid, painting a stark, unflinching picture of what happens when a human being approaches a century of existence.
​"The light hurts your eyes, and even breathing can feel like hard work," Eastwood shared. "Your body just doesn't cooperate the way it used to, and every step requires a strategy."
​But the structural decline of the body is merely the surface. The real weight of extreme old age is emotional.
​Once you cross into your nineties, your social landscape undergoes a profound transformation:
​The people who shared your youth, your inside jokes, and your struggles have vanished.
​The circle of familiar faces shrinks to almost nothing.
​The phone stops ringing, and the pace of the days slows to a crawl.
​When the present becomes isolated, the mind seeks refuge in the past. Eastwood explained that navigating through old memories isn't mental weakness—it's a vital search for continuity.
​"You find yourself repeating stories, adding details, not to convince anyone, but just to feel like you’re still connected to something," Eastwood admitted. "You try to pass things down to the younger generation, even when you can see the boredom in their eyes."
​We live in a culture that treats longevity like a trophy, while totally ignoring the crushing loneliness that accompanies that survival. We praise the shiny, the fast, and the hyper-connected, leaving no space for the slow rhythm of the very old.
​Clint Eastwood may be a cinematic giant, but his words speak for every anonymous 90-year-old sitting at our family dinner tables. They are the living libraries of our history.
​The wrinkles on their faces aren't just signs of aging—they are a beautiful roadmap of a life fully lived. Slow down. Put away the distractions. It is a privilege to sit by their side and just listen. 🕊️✨

What’s wrong with using a micro-subscription model?

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

Palantir's CEO just exposed Sam Altman and Dario Amodei for robbing every Fortune 500 company.

Within two minutes, Alex Karp took the entire frontier AI industry apart on national television.

His exact words:

"Every single enterprise in this country, these people are LIVID. They are paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business."

He literally said the entire frontier AI business model is intellectual property extraction dressed up as a subscription.

Then he also destroyed the pricing model with a single question that Silicon Valley still refuses to answer:

"If it was so valuable, let's say I can make you $1 billion tomorrow. Wouldn't I say I'll make you $1 billion and I want 30 percent? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"

That question breaks the industry.

If OpenAI and Anthropic's models truly delivered the productivity gains the labs claim, they would take equity or a share of the profit they generate. They would not sell access by the million tokens.

Token pricing is itself the CONFESSION that the product cannot produce reliable value at scale. If it did, they would price for the value. But they price for the compute because that is what they are actually selling.

Karp went even further...

He called the entire arrangement "a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes."

American businesses are transferring the alpha of their operations, meaning the workflows, the customer data, the strategy memos, the internal models that make them competitive, directly into the training pipelines of a handful of Silicon Valley labs. Once those labs retrain, the customer's own edge becomes the next enterprise product sold back to their competitors.

And the part the AI industry does not want anyone thinking about:

Every enterprise running its confidential documents, its customer conversations, and its financial models through a frontier model is potentially teaching that model HOW to replace them.

The vendor collects the token fee AND the compounding intelligence about that customer's business. That is the mechanism. And that is why Karp used the word "stealing."

He claims this is why every executive he meets is furious in private and silent in public. Nobody wants to be the CEO who called out the labs and then discovered their next competitor was built on their own leaked workflows.

The entire AI industry has been priced for perfection on one assumption:

That frontier labs produce durable, defensible value that justifies infinite compute spend.

But Karp just told us that the customers do not believe that assumption anymore. They believe they are being taxed without benefit, watched without consent, and copied without recourse.

The moment enterprises stop believing, the whole valuation stack shakes.

Ro Khanna a few days ago:
— “Once Democrats take Power, we will go after Elon Musk, we will subpoena and investigate him. (lawfare)

After @elonmusk called for him to be financially Audited:
— “Hey Elon, buddy, I thought you were about free speech. Why not debate me instead of threatening lawfare?” 🤣

🔻Ro Khanna is worth approximately $233 MILLION.

Khanna’s wealth is largely tied to Personal and family investments in stocks— more specifically, his wife’s family background and ties to investment firms… (follow the wives).

He is one of the biggest insider traders of them all.. gaming the system.

All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.

Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.

If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!

On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.
