Even the MSM is not really talking about the case. Even CNN only has a minor blurb about it giving more importance to Taylor Swift's coming marriage plans. CNN: "Texas teen sentenced to 35 years for fatally stabbing another athlete at high school track meet." So there's that.
🚨 NOW: It’s a TOTAL GHOST TOWN here outside the Karmelo courthouse
Collin County Deputies and McKinney Police have PROVEN that these people respond to REAL THREATS OF ARREST
And now officers get to go home.
TAKE NOTE, @Tim_Walz and @GavinNewsom
THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE! 🔥
Another timed "panic" for the population. Ignored by knowledgeable people. Screw worm has been around the US at least since the early 1800's. Oh and Ivermectin kills it sooooo......
Arizona rancher Casey Murph on screwworm: "My grandfather and great grandfather spent their entire career with it."
"They dealt with it. It was just like another pest."
"We have got a lot better stuff now. Ivermectin will kill it immediately."
"It will not get into your beef."

Unbelievable that ABC is now saying it is unclear that the Apache helicopter was intentionally shot down by Iran . Ummmmmmm ….. it’s in the air off the coast of Oman without anything else in the air there, soooooooooo………
For the record, Karmelo Anthony does NOT have an all white jury. Please stop spreading false information. I have been following this case since the very beginning. I was in the courtroom. I’ve seen his jury face to face.

On June 3rd I responded to someone why was $LUNR going down, because they announced a stock sale at their higher valuation which would mean some dilution to current holders. Today $RDW announced they were doing the same thing. Companies need to raise capital from time to time without increasing debt. It will allow them to do many things such as acquisitions, R&D, etc.
Old boomers may remember a game we played as grade school kids at recess called mumbly peg. It was played with a pocket knife where players take turns flipping or tossing a knife in specific ways to make it stick into the ground or a target. Great fun. No one was stabbed or threatened.
Nobody ever got stabbed when I was a kid. I had a hunting knife when I was in the boy scouts. I wore it all the time.
We all had knives in the scouts. Nobody ever thought of stabbing anyone.
Of course we had the advantage of being civilised.
For those $RDW investors, I had previously said that the gap up created on May 26th from $18 to $19.20 would have to be filled after its run up to $25. Well today, that gap is now filled. Now the solid moves up can begin.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.
My friend Da Yu left communist China for the USA twenty years ago. Last week, his American employer gave him one hour to delete his comment on a friend’s social media post or lose his job.
Da was an atheist when he first moved to Cincinnati for college. And he was excited to get away from the suffocating regime of communist China.
When he arrived here, it wasn’t long before he encountered a group of Christians who shared the gospel with him. God opened his heart to the truth of the gospel and he believed.
As his faith grew, Da became a strong Christian leader and committed evangelist. Now, many years later, he leads a small group at my church and organizes regular evangelistic outreaches for college students.
Da is a kind, smart, and godly Christian man. And he’s among the most committed members of our church. He’s an ordinary Christian who believes the Bible and has a spine. He and his wife have two young children, and she is eight months pregnant with their third.
That’s all background for what I’m about to say.
Last week, he called me out of the blue because he was faced with a difficult decision. One of his friends had just become a Christian and posted on LinkedIn about her baptism (see screenshots).
She wasn’t accustomed to making Linked In posts about Jesus, feeling as though it might be unprofessional. She wondered openly if she should keep her posts secular. But she was excited about her new life in Christ and wanted to share it.
That’s when Da chimed in with a comment on her post that there is no such thing as a purely neutral, “secular” culture. He pointed out that many companies are promoting cultural sins such as homosexuality, transgenderism, and fornication during pride month. If companies can promote those morally regressive “values,” then certainly this woman should not be embarrassed to talk about her Christian faith in public. He was simply encouraging her to be bold for Christ.
WIthin minutes, he got a message from HR. He was called to a meeting with the HR rep and the CEO where he was told he needed to take his comment on her post down immediately. Feeling put on the spot, he said he’d needed to think it over first. He asked, “what if I do not take it down?”
They said, “you have one hour to take it down or lose your job.” So he took a walk outside to gather his thoughts and pray. He spoke to his wife about it, and she told him the man she married was a man of courage, and she would stand by him. He also sought counsel from some men in our church.
Finally, he made his decision. He would not take his comment down. So they fired him. Right there, on the spot. No sooner had the call ended that his laptop was locked and he was unable to access it at all.
This whole episode is tragically ironic, given the fact that he’d moved here from China to get away from these sorts of draconian practices. But that’s the way it is with the LGBTQ regime. If you do not comply and bow the knee to their gods you will be severely punished.
In short, a good man was fired from his job for refusing to cave. He took a stand and paid a price for it. His former employers didn’t care that he’s a responsible, hard working man with a family to provide for. They didn’t care that his wife is eight months pregnant.
None of that matters. Their ideology is everything. They will crush anyone who opposes it.
I asked Da’s permission to tell his story, promising to keep him anonymous. But he responded, “Actually I think using my real name maybe better. A story becomes a lot more real with a name. I want to take a stand for it and encourage others.”
Da took a stand. You can too.
To all the @elonmusk fans and @Starlink $TSLA fans - I respect what @SpaceX has built. But let me show you why Starlink Mobile isn't even playing the same game as $ASTS , and why ASTS is trading at a steal right now.
It comes down to spectrum. And once you understand spectrum, the entire D2D picture becomes obvious.
Think of radio spectrum like sound from a speaker. Bass notes are low frequency - they travel far, go through walls, you feel them in the next room.
Treble notes are high frequency - crisp and clear but step behind a wall and they disappear. This is physics. Can't be engineered around no matter how many satellites you launch.
Here's who owns what in D2D:
LOW-BAND - the bass. Goes through walls, buildings, cars.
→ 700 MHz: AT&T and FirstNet own it. Leased to ASTS. FCC authorized for 248 satellites. This reaches you inside your house, in a basement, in a parking garage.
→ 800/850 MHz: AT&T and Verizon own it. Leased to ASTS. FCC authorized. Same indoor penetration.
→ 902-928 MHz: Federal radiolocation band. ASTS filed to test radar here for the Space Force starting June 12. Defense revenue on a different frequency.
Nobody else has D2D authorization on low-band. Not SpaceX. Not Amazon. Not Qualcomm. It's all owned by carriers who spent tens of billions at auctions over decades to lock it up.
MID-BAND — the treble. Outdoor only. Does not penetrate buildings.
→ SpaceX: ~65 MHz owned (AWS-3, AWS-4, H-Block, 1695-2180 MHz range). Paid $17B+ for it through EchoStar. Real spectrum. But current phones don't support these bands. SpaceX's own VP said commercial launch mid-2027. And even then mid-band still doesn't go indoors.
→ SpaceX current D2D: T-Mobile PCS (~1900 MHz), leased. Powers Starlink Mobile today at 3-7 Mbps. Texting and basic data. Outdoors only. T-Mobile CEO said they're seeing "a lot less usage than originally thinking."
→ Amazon/Globalstar: ~25 MHz total. 8 MHz L-band + 16.5 MHz S-band. Asymmetric — caps two-way throughput. Narrowband, not broadband. D2D system not launching until 2028 at earliest. Amazon paid $11.6B for this.
→ Ligado: 45 MHz L-band. FCC approval pending for 7+ years. GPS lobby blocking it.
ASTS'S OWNED SPECTRUM - this is what nobody talks about: → ASTS acquired 40 MHz of Ligado's L-band spectrum for $550M upfront plus $80M per year on an 80-YEAR lease. That's not carrier-leased spectrum. That's ASTS-controlled spectrum with usage rights through 2106. This gives ASTS the ability to operate independently of carriers if needed - a backup path nobody is modeling.
→ ASTS also secured S-band spectrum priority rights for $64.5M.
SPECTRUM ASTS IS FIGHTING FOR:
→ 1675-1680 MHz: Last week ASTS's SVP of Regulatory Affairs Jennifer Manner met directly with FCC staff to argue this band should be auctioned for satellite D2D use. Qualcomm wants it reserved for "sidelink" - terrestrial device-to-device communication for things like vehicle-to-vehicle. If Qualcomm wins, the band gets locked for one ground-based technology. If ASTS wins, it opens more mid-band spectrum for satellite D2D expansion. NTIA already identified this band as a potential D2D candidate. ASTS is fighting to keep the door open and imo ASTS will win.
THE FULL ASTS SPECTRUM POSITION:
Commercial D2D: 700/800 MHz (carrier-leased, FCC authorized, indoor capable)
Owned spectrum: 40 MHz L-band (80-year rights) + S-band priority rights
Defense: 902-928 MHz (radar/PNT for Space Force, testing June 12)
Future expansion: 1675-1680 MHz (fighting Qualcomm at FCC)
Gateway: V-band for feeder links
Now here's why this is a moat and not just a list:
ASTS is the ONLY D2D company with indoor coverage. Low-band penetrates walls. Everything else doesn't. When SpaceX fans say "Starlink will figure it out" - figure out what exactly? They have zero low-band. The carriers who own it will never lease it to a company building a competing network. That's not a technology problem. It's a trust problem. And trust takes decades to build.
ASTS has both leased AND owned spectrum. The carrier-leased low-band gives them indoor D2D today. The Ligado L-band gives them 80 years of independent spectrum rights. Nobody else in D2D has this dual structure.
Carriers are equity investors in ASTS. AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone - they put their own money in. Then all 3 US carriers formed a JV around ASTS technology. They trust ASTS with their spectrum because ASTS makes their network more valuable, not replaceable.
ASTS is playing four spectrum games simultaneously. Carrier-leased D2D. Owned L-band. Defense radar. FCC lobbying for future expansion. Show me another company doing this.
What did everyone pay for spectrum?
SpaceX: $17B+ for 65 MHz mid-band (outdoor only, phones don't support it yet)
Amazon: $11.6B for ~25 MHz narrowband (asymmetric, 2028 at earliest)
ASTS: $550M + $80M/yr for 40 MHz L-band (80-year rights) PLUS free carrier-leased low-band that nobody else can get
SpaceX is valued at $1.75T. Amazon's space division has invested $21B+. ASTS market cap? $35B. With the only indoor D2D spectrum, 80 years of owned spectrum rights, defense radar capabilities, and every major US carrier as a partner.
Bass goes through walls. Treble doesn't. The carriers own all the bass. They gave it to ASTS.
$ASTS - 3 more BlueBird satellites heading to orbit on Falcon 9 this month. The spectrum is locked. The rockets are ready. 🛰️

ATTENTION PARENTS:
Did you know that schools are REQUIRED BY LAW to hand over all records pertaining to your child??
You do not need to pay lawyers or waste time filing FOIAs.
You simply need to put in a request. If they refuse just say “FERPA.”
If they still refuse, DM me.
They are breaking the law and we will make sure they are held accountable.
