Microsoft is asking the Trump administration to leave Chinese components inside American AI data centers.
The FCC is drafting restrictions on new Chinese optical transceivers, the devices that connect servers and switches. Officials worry Beijing could use them to steal data, plant malware, or disrupt operations. Microsoft has 35 data centers under construction and 134 planned. It is arguing a ban would slow the AI buildout.
China makes two-thirds of the global supply. U.S. companies cannot replace it at scale. The House Select Committee on China has urged the FCC to move forward. A major Chinese supplier is already on the Pentagon’s list of military-linked firms.
Microsoft wants the parts that link the chips left unrestricted. The security risk is the price of speed.
NOW: President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance stand at attention and salute as the national anthem plays at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
The solemn moment comes on Veterans Day, as the nation honors the men and women who have served in the U.S. military.
The veterans at Arlington National Cemetery screamed “we love you Pete” before chanting “USA USA USA” as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar departed this morning’s memorial.
Clearly the vets stand with Trump @realDonaldTrump and Hegseth.
Massie @RepThomasMassie and the Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.
“Veterans Day”
Three of my uncles fought in WW2. My father-in-law and step-father both fought in Korea. Donna’s cousin was a pilot who was shot down in battle, and is listed on the Vietnam memorial in DC. Today, we honor the service of our veterans.
As I travel the country working on election reform I meet many veterans. Their realistic, practical, military mindset has affected my worldview and my grassroots strategy.
Because of my years in the science ivory tower, I’ve tended to think more idealistically and philosophically. Scientific exploration is a luxury, and it is only possible because of the sacrifices of those who fought for our liberty to engage it. I am grateful for their service.
But in war, people sacrifice. People die. A soldier does not have the luxury of a philosophical debate when the bombs are falling and the bullets are flying. Either fight well together, or you and your compatriots may die.
So it’s not surprising to me that veterans in our society lean heavily to the Right. They know the high price of our liberty, so they have a low tolerance for the silliness on the Left.
In the US, our liberty is under siege. Philosophically, we would like to tolerate a wide variety of viewpoints. But practically, collectivism is our enemy, and communists are willing to kill those that are not willing to fall in line.
We tend to have a short memory. Let me remind you that the Korean 38th parallel is the theoretical line between communism and the free world. After the Korean conflict, all the northern churches were closed and the Christians martyred. Today, it considered treason to be a Christian in the north, and you are executed.
While tolerance is a virtue, we cannot allow our tolerance to make us vulnerable to the extent that we permit our communist and Islamic enemies to infiltrate and undermine the liberty that we’ve been given at such a high price.
That is what is happening right now. Our affluence, apathy, and tolerance have enable our enemies to establish a foothold in America.
It’s time that we adopt a more practical, military mindset.
Kyrie eleison.
We have a MAJOR problem with Texas Midterm election results
Every other recent midterm election has shown Texas becoming more and more Red. Hundreds of counties were shifting further Red, and then this Midterms THEY ALL SHIFTED BLUE (This is IMPOSSIBLE)
2021: 183 (Red) 7 (Blue)
2024: 233 (Red) 21 (Blue)
2026: 0 (Red) 254 (Blue)
Texas didn’t decide to go deeper and deep red just to have the entire state, every single county change their mind and vote Blue
You font go from hundreds of countries shifting Red to ZERO
These results are impossible
Mr. Fletcher, every year, you try to reinvent your false campaign against Israel.
You started with accusations of “genocide,” then moved on to a “starvation” campaign, and now you accuse Israel of creating a humanitarian crisis ahead of winter.
You know full well that Israel facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into the Gaza Strip every single day.
The ones preventing Gaza’s reconstruction are your Hamas friends, whom you deliberately omit from every single one of your statements.
🇺🇸 @POTUS THANKS THOSE DEFENDING US FROM TERROR: "I want to say a very special thanks to every service member currently working to ensure that the world's number one state sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of IRAN, will NEVER have a nuclear weapon."
This Republican team is determined, unified, and ready for the fight. We finish strong in this Congress, and prepare now for the battles in the next one. 🇺🇸
Germany just banned Chinese drones and cars from its military bases.
The Bundeswehr ordered units to stop flying commercial Chinese drones, including DJI models, immediately. A counterintelligence review found the risk of data collection too high. Existing systems will be replaced with German or European ones. Chinese cars from BYD, Geely, and NIO are also barred from secure areas. Soldiers who own them park outside and walk in.
Cameras, sensors, and connected systems made the risk clear. Poland banned Chinese cars from defense sites earlier this year. The U.S. Air Force barred BYD vehicles from Kadena last month.
The equipment was already on base. The ban is catching up.
Mr Musk does not like hashtags. I understand that but I’m asking everyone on X to make an exception.
Iranians are being slaughtered daily, UN does nothing, west does less.
Let’s give a voice to the small accounts.

A visual report from Prince Reza Pahlavi and Princess Yasmine Pahlavi’s visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau, accompanied by Rabbi Menachem Margolin, Chairman of the European Jewish Association.
They honoured the victims of the Holocaust and placed a Lion and Sun wreath on behalf of the Iranian nation. Their message was clear: the Iranian people remember the victims, reject the Islamic Republic’s hatred and stand with those it threatens.

🚨 PLOTTING FROM A CELL: An Iran-backed operative allegedly directed a terror plot against a British air base from his NEW YORK CITY jail cell.
According to the Justice Department, he used CODED messages on calls with his family to help coordinate it. The base was used by U.S. forces in operations against Iran.
Three men are now facing charges. Officials say the Iraqi national belongs to a network tied to 18 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the U.S., including one on a New York synagogue.
He was already locked up, and he still allegedly ran a terror plot over the jail phone.
