Except… Iran did not follow the agreement. It was all lies and hollow words.

The intel agencies advised the nuclear material was nearing weapons grade. This was also backed by 60 Minutes.

Iran never stopped building nuclear weapons. They just lied about it.

Obama on Iran:

Let's think about this Iran war. The original rationale was, we're going to go in there and get them to give up their nuclear program, their nuclear weapons.

Now, the thing was, Iran didn't have nuclear weapons because I had put a deal in place that everybody acknowledged kept them from getting nukes.

And I didn't have to fire a missile to do it. I just had to engage in diplomacy.

Very questionable roughing the passer call against the #Packers that everyone on the telecast disagreed with, including Tom Brady, who said: “I don’t like it either.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Desiree @DesireeAmerica4]

Aaron Rodgers sat at that podium in Paris and said out loud what the corporate league office spends millions trying to sanitize.

​The NFL talks endlessly about “player safety” and “expanding the global game.” But behind closed doors, owners scrapped player-friendly bye weeks, forced a brutal 17th regular-season game, and shipped franchises across oceans simply because there was another dollar to squeeze out of foreign TV markets.

​While families and players navigate locked-down streets, civil tension, and grueling travel schedules, ownership sits in five-star suites counting international expansion checks.

​Rodgers doesn't care about league fines anymore. He’s telling you the truth: in the modern NFL, the brand and the balance sheet come first. The humans on the field come second.

Matt LaFleur is a terrible red zone play caller. #Packers

[Evan Massey @massey_evan]

#Packers go for it fourth and four. Matt LaFleur's genius call? A screen pass. Turnover on downs. Wasted drive. Garbage decision and play call.

[Eli Berkovits @BookOfEli_NFL]

The #Packers are both lucky to only be down 10-7 and somehow at the same time should be up at least 13-10

Very disjointed first half

At a recent event where I spoke at a community center, a group of “pro-Palestine” militiamen appeared outside to protest and disrupt the event, along with agitated older white women who entered the venue to do the same on the inside. The organizers and I had arranged extensive security because these same “activists” had spent days trying to get the event canceled and openly vowed to do whatever they could to stop it from happening. As I walked in, a few masked “activists” in keffiyehs whispered, "is this the genocide guy?" I turned to them and said, "hi gentlemen, thanks for coming." One replied, "Free Palestine." I responded, "I agree, including from Hamas."

Once I began speaking, several disruptors engaged in a steady stream of whispering, side conversations, eye-rolling, posturing, and juvenile antics. I stopped and asked one of the women why she and her comrades were behaving like children. She admitted she knew nothing about me or my work but felt qualified to declare that if I were truly Palestinian, my Nakba-surviving grandparents would be rolling in their graves. I asked the agitators to be respectful, explaining that while security could remove them, I would rather they listen to what I actually had to say, instead of relying on misinformation spread about me by the local DSA, BDS, and other "pro-Palestine" groups.

What enraged me most was their reaction when I spoke about my family in Gaza, the relatives we have lost to Israeli airstrikes during the post-October 7 war, and the destruction of both my childhood homes. These white “activists” laughed and smirked as I described some of the most painful experiences of my life and the sense of personal loss that inspires my work. They showed shocking indifference toward the very Palestinians on whose behalf they claim to be acting.

I confronted some of the disruptors directly and asked why they get to define what it means to be "pro-Palestine," despite knowing nothing about me and showing no interest in the trauma my family has endured. Some stormed out shouting "Free Palestine." Others fell silent. One person, despite strongly disagreeing with me, acknowledged that my views were rooted in personal loss and genuine concern for my people and shook my hand before leaving.

On my way out, a pseudo-journalist known for glorifying Hamas and "the resistance" tried to ambush me with questions about whether I was paid by weapons manufacturers, oil companies, or, as he brilliantly misstated it, the "Arab Union Emirates." It struck me how absurd it is that I needed three heavily armed security officers and a bodyguard simply to speak about healing and reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis, the dangers of extremism for both societies, the catastrophic damage Hamas has inflicted on the Palestinian national project, and the right of Palestinians to freedom, safety, and prosperity alongside a secure Israel.

Yemenite Jews en route from Aden to Israel, during Operation Magic Carpet. 1949–1950.

A fascinating chapter of Middle Eastern history: nearly 50,000 Yemenite Jews airlifted to Israel. Apparently, the peaceful coexistence of Jews and Arabs was going so beautifully that an entire ancient Jewish community needed an emergency evacuation. But sure, tell us more about how everything was perfect before the Zionists arrived.

At least removing all the Jews meant Yemen was able to develop peacefully into a diverse and tolerant modern society.

Once the Jews were gone, Yemen became a shining example of peace, diversity, religious tolerance, and human rights. A true Middle Eastern success story. Just don’t check the news.

The further back you go, the more you discover about centuries of Jewish life under Muslim rule: dhimmi status, discriminatory taxes, restrictions, and occasional massacres. Turns out the romantic story of perfect coexistence gets a little less romantic when you actually open a history book.

In the 7th and 8th centuries, Arab tribes burst out of the Arabian Peninsula. Within just a few decades, they crushed the Byzantine Empire in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. They destroyed the Persian Empire. They swept across North Africa, reaching all the way to Morocco, Spain, and even southern France. At its height, the Arab Caliphate ruled 13 million square kilometers - larger than Rome ever dreamed of. Millions of Persians, Berbers, Copts, Arameans, Jews, Greeks, and others suddenly found themselves under Arab rule. Their languages and faiths were pushed aside. Coptic faded in Egypt. Aramaic nearly died out. Even Persian was nearly erased until poets like Ferdowsi fought to keep it alive. Arabic became the dominant tongue, Islam the dominant faith. That was not liberation - it was occupation on a scale that reshaped entire continents.

The Mongols came and went in about a century.

The Romans ruled for centuries, but Latin disappeared from the Middle East.

The British Empire held sway for 200 years, then collapsed.

The Arab-Muslim conquests? It changed the identity of entire nations forever.

Think about it: Egypt was Christian and Coptic-speaking for 600 years before the Arabs came. Today it is Arab and Muslim. North Africa was Berber and Roman. Today it is Arab and Muslim. The Levant spoke Greek and Aramaic. Today it speaks Arabic. Even Spain lived under Arab rule for 700 years. That is not just an “occupation” - that is a civilizational overhaul.

And yet, in 2025, our leaders - who are themselves the product of this massive Arab occupation, .” Really? Compared to what the Arabs did to North Africa, Persia, and the Levant? Compared to the centuries-long Arab rule that erased identities, forced conversions, and remade entire regions?

A MONTANA DEMOCRAT WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO RUN SPACEX. THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T RUN THE DMV. 🚀🏛️

Ryan Busse, the Montana Democrat running for Congress, wants SpaceX and Starlink nationalized. Not someday. "Yesterday." Because Elon donated to the wrong people.

And he's got company. Paul Krugman wants Starlink nationalized. The American Prospect ran a piece this week calling SpaceX "a de facto government agency" that "should be nationalized."

Let's call this what it is. Seizing a private company because you don't like the owner's politics has a name. It's plank 6 of the Communist Manifesto, word for word: "Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State."

Communication. Transport. Satellites. Rockets. Karl would be so proud.

And the timing is chef's kiss. This week Elon said he'd give a SpaceX share to every kid in America. About 73 million kids. Democrats responded by asking to take the whole company. Elon's handing out shares. They're handing out pink slips.

So fine. Let's bring back NASA. They've been crushing it since... checks notes... 1972. That's the last time an American walked on the moon. Here's the highlight reel since:

🚀 The Space Shuttle: sold as cheap and reusable. Ended up costing well over a billion dollars a flight.
🇷🇺 2011 to 2020: no American rocket could fly an astronaut. We paid RUSSIA up to $80+ million a seat to hitch a ride on a Soyuz.
🌙 SLS, NASA's moon rocket: the agency's own inspector general says each launch costs about $4.1 BILLION. And you throw it away after every flight.
🛰️ Boeing's Starliner, built on a NASA contract, launched two astronauts for an eight-day trip. They came home NINE MONTHS later. On SpaceX.

Meanwhile SpaceX:
✅ Lands its rockets on a barge in the ocean and flies them again.
✅ Charges around $70 million for a Falcon 9 launch.
✅ Is the only American company that flew US astronauts to the space station for most of the last six years.

And these geniuses want to hand that to the same government that needs six weeks to mail you a passport.

Imagine Starlink run by the DMV. Take a number. Your internet will connect in 4 to 6 business weeks. Bring two forms of ID and a utility bill. Oh, you don't have a utility bill? Because you don't have internet? Next.

Imagine SpaceX run by Congress. Every launch delayed until after the election. Every rocket built in 50 states so every senator gets a factory. Oh wait. That's SLS.

Name ONE thing the government took over and made better and cheaper. I'll wait.

🏥 The Affordable Care Act. "Affordable." Individual market premiums MORE than doubled from 2013 to 2017, per HHS. The government FORCED you to buy it, with a penalty up to $695 or 2.5% of your income if you didn't. Deductibles so high you pay full price until July. And this year insurers raised premiums 26%, and once the extra subsidies ran out, KFF says the average subsidized enrollee's payment more than doubled. Affordable for who?
📬 The Post Office lost $9.5 BILLION in 2024. They have a monopoly on your mailbox and still lose money.
🚆 Amtrak: $1.76 billion operating loss last year. Ask me how I know.

Innovation and less government made America great. Henry Ford, the Wright brothers, Steve Jobs in a garage. None of them were nationalized.

And who elected Ryan Busse anyway? Nobody. Montana had its chance in 2024. He lost the governor's race by 20 points. Now the wannabe dictator wants to seize a rocket company. Sir, you couldn't seize Montana.

How many people like him are out there? Well, 42% of college kids say they'd rather live under socialism, so... more than I'd like. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Elon took a company the experts said would fail and built the best rocket company on earth. The government's own rocket costs 50 times more per launch and they still want to take his.

Call it what it is. Envy with a press release. 🦋

So it turns out that Ukraine's issues with Starlink were caused by Ukraine.

Starlink terminals disconnected at speeds above 160 KPH, as determined by the Starlink terminals internal GPS.

To get around this, Ukraine hacked the Starlink terminals to think they were stationary regardless of speed.

SpaceX figured this out, and updated the system software to detect excessive speed by seeing how rapidly the terminal switched from on satellite to another. This broke Ukraine's hack, and Starlink would no longer work at high speeds.

Ukraine was using Starlink in a way that violated the terms of service.

Starlink figured it out and stopped it.

Do you know why in Israel we don't have riots of Muslims and "pro-Palestinians"? In spite of the fact that Arabs (Muslims and Christians) are 20% of Israeli population, more than in any country in Europe?

Because Arabs in Israel don't want to make Israel a Muslim country. They know very well what does it mean to live in Muslim country, especially under shariah laws, like they live in Gaza, for example. Not to have any rights or freedoms.

In Israel Arabs have all the rights like any other Israeli citizens, because Israel is a liberal democracy. Arabs (men and women) study in universities, work at any jobs in every field, there is huge amount of Arabs in medicine, for example. We have Arab judges, we have Arabs in the Knesset...

My personal example: very often I go to Arab doctors, and my kid's main class teacher is Arab.

Arabs in Israel have no reason to create chaos.

And no, most of them absolutely don't want "Palestine" (meaning radical Islamic state) to replace democratic Israel.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

You can measure the greatness of an American officer by the last two words he ever spoke into a telephone.

On June 28, 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs were trapped on a jagged mountain cliff in the Hindu Kush of Afghanistan, surrounded on three sides by dozens of enemy fighters firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.

All four Americans were bleeding. Their radio was blocked by the towering granite walls of the canyon. The only way to get a satellite phone signal to call a rescue helicopter for his three wounded brothers was for twenty-nine-year-old Lieutenant Michael Murphy to leave the cover of the rocks and walk out into the open.

Walking into that clearing meant walking directly in front of fifty rifles.

Murphy did not order his radioman to go. He had already been shot in the stomach. He pulled the satellite phone from his vest, stepped out from behind the boulder, and stood tall on the exposed rocky ridge where the sky was clear.

Bullets kicked up stone dust all around his boots. He dialed the number for headquarters at Bagram Air Base and calmly gave the exact location and number of his men.

Halfway through the call, a bullet slammed straight through his back.

Murphy dropped the phone into the dirt.

Under fire that would make any mortal man crawl away, that twenty-nine-year-old from New York reached down into the blood and dust, picked the satellite phone back up, put it to his ear, and finished giving the coordinates for his team.

Then, with his lungs filling with blood and his life ending on a mountain seven thousand miles from home, Lieutenant Michael Murphy spoke his final words on earth to the operator on the line:

"Roger that, sir. Thank you."

He hung up, walked back to the rocks, and picked up his rifle to fight beside his brothers until the end.

In the code of the samurai, grace under the blade of death is the highest mark of a noble soul. Even while dying to save his men, an American gentleman remembered to say thank you.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

On the fourteenth of April 1935 a wall of dust two thousand feet high and two hundred miles wide came over Boise City, Oklahoma at sixty miles an hour, turned a clear Sunday afternoon into midnight in a minute, and the people in the churches thought the world had ended.

The cause was a decision, and it took ten years. The southern plains had never been farmland. They were buffalo grass, roots five feet down, a net that had held the ground through every drought since the ice, under thirty million bison and then under the Texas cattle. Then the Great War sent wheat to the sky, the government opened the land to anyone who would break it, and the tractor could turn two hundred acres a week. Forty million acres of sod went under between 1920 and 1930. Suitcase farmers came out on the train, cut the roots, took a crop at the top of the market and went home, and nothing was left in the ground but a seed that needed rain.

In 1931 the rain stopped, for most of eight years. A wheat field in a drought is bare dirt, and bare dirt on the plains, in the wind the plains have always had, is a cloud waiting for a reason.

Dust came through the walls of the houses. Families slept with wet sheets over their faces and woke with the shape of their bodies left on the mattress in dirt. Children died of dust pneumonia with the fields packed into their lungs, and the Red Cross handed out gauze masks at the school door. Cattle were found dead with their stomachs full of mud. The static in a storm knocked a man flat when he touched a car, so they dragged chains behind the trucks to earth them. Two and a half million people walked off the plains, and the soil they left came down on the decks of ships off New York.

And the government shot the animals. In 1934, with no grass left on the ploughed country, Washington bought more than eight million cattle at a few dollars a head, shipped the ones that could stand, and had the rest shot in the fields and bulldozed into trenches while the families watched. Those cattle had not blown away an acre in sixty years. They died because the wheat next door had taken the grass they stood on.

Hugh Bennett, the government's soil man, had been telling Congress the plains were being skinned and nobody had listened. On the day of his Senate hearing that April he knew the dust was crossing the country, so he talked slowly until it arrived, and when the windows went dark at midday he told the senators that this was what he had been saying. The Soil Conservation Act was signed within the month, and what it paid for was putting the ground back the way it had been: grass, and cattle on it, and it has held since.

The plough failed in a decade. The pasture had never failed. The cows were shot in between.

At 9 months old, doctors told his parents to institutionalize him.
​His head was enlarged. His cerebellum was damaged. Worst of all, his corpus callosum—the 200-million-fiber bridge connecting the brain's hemispheres—simply didn’t exist.
​Medically, his left and right brain couldn't talk to each other.
​Doctors said he would never walk, talk, or learn. A "burden not worth bearing."
​His parents said no.
​Over the next 58 years, Kim Peek quietly shattered everything neuroscience thought it understood about human intelligence:
​• At 16 months, he began memorizing every book read to him.
• By age 6, he memorized the entire King James Bible word-for-word.
• He could read two pages at the exact same time—left eye reading the left page, right eye reading the right page. Thick books were finished in under an hour.
• His retention rate? 98%.
​By the end of his life, Kim had memorized roughly 12,000 books.
​He was a walking, breathing hard drive. You could give him any date in human history, and within two seconds, he'd tell you what day of the week it was, the #1 song on the radio, and the weather in New York. Recite any Shakespeare play, quote any postal code, or map a drive from San Diego to Portland turn-by-turn from memory.
​In 2004, NASA ran advanced 3D brain scans on Kim to figure out how he was routing information without the central bridge of the mind.
​Their conclusion? They had no idea.
​His brain had rewired its own architecture in ways modern science still can’t map.
​Yet, here is the paradox that makes Kim’s story unforgettable:
​The man whose mind held 12,000 volumes couldn't button his own shirt.
He couldn't tie his shoes.
He couldn't understand metaphors, sarcasm, or why you’d flip a light switch.
​When Hollywood made Rain Man—inspired directly by Kim—Dustin Hoffman famously looked at him and said: "I may be the star of the movie, but you are the heavens."
​Kim and his devoted father spent the rest of their lives traveling 3 million miles, meeting 60 million people, proving one undeniable truth:
​Disability and profound genius can inhabit the exact same skull.
​We treat human intelligence like a single staircase everyone has to climb. Kim Peek proved it's a labyrinth we haven't even begun to explore.
​12,000 books in his head.
Couldn’t tie his shoes.
Unexplainable by science.
​A reminder that what we label a "deficit" is often just a human mind operating on an entirely different frequency.

“Christians mistake in supposing that, when God afflicts, he ceases to love; affliction is his pruning-knife: he would rather have the branches of his vine bleed than be unfruitful. He prunes us, that we may bring forth ‘the peaceable fruits of righteousness.’”
—Thomas Watson

The pruning knife is in the hand of our loving Father. Though His providence may be painful, His purposes are always wise and good. Take heart, the Lord knows what He is removing, what He is cultivating, and the fruit He intends to bring forth.

This is no mere comforting sentiment. It is the very testimony of Scripture. Christ Himself tells us why the Father prunes His children, and Hebrews reminds us of the blessed fruit that follows.

“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.” (John 15:2)

“All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.” (Hebrews 12:11)
