That's science, not faith. Again, manmade CO2 is a microscopic fraction of CO2. Plants literally gobble it up.

90% of people on X want the Islamic regime to collapse and Iranians to be free. Am I right?

I just found out that my aunt, a lifelong Republican, voted for a Democrat in California.

This never would have happened if she were still alive.

[Andy Lee @RealAndyLeeShow]

I’m back.

The team at X was incredible at helping me regain access to my account. The hackers were promptly dealt with. Gratitude for that to all.

The bad news is that yes, it appears to have been a legitimate hack. The hack occurred after I was reported for posts made referencing June 4th - Tiananmen Square Massacre day. The symbolism isn’t lost on me.

The good news is I see our backup system worked, and most of you burned our chats.

I have asked many of you who are acting as informants to keep your identities hidden for safety - even from me - and this is exactly why. I’m going to ask everyone to refrain from messaging me privately please while I secure those networks.

Thank you all for your support, and your patience while I address this breach. I’m so sorry. I’m devastated over this attack, and it needs to be taken very seriously. It will take time to assess.

And then hopefully, we can get back to work here.

Bill C-22 is being rushed through Parliament without fully addressing how this surveillance framework will affect Canadians, especially those in rural communities.

The impacts of this legislation will be felt across rural Canada, where population density, connectivity, and digital infrastructure differ significantly from urban centres.

Rushing a bill that shapes how Canadians’ data is accessed and managed is a mistake.

We do not need to trade liberty for security. We can, and must, protect both.

BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.

Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.

The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.

NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.

The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.

Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.

We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.

That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”

“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

🇨🇦 The Netflix tax raised costs for Canadians and drove production elsewhere.

South Park called it. Ottawa ignored it.
Cartman understood Canadian media policy better than the CRTC. 😂

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington found its counter to Iran's $24 billion demand: spend the frozen money on the countries Iran keeps hitting

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has ordered officials to tally the damage Gulf partners have suffered from Iranian attacks and price out repair and recovery costs, as the administration weighs using frozen Iranian assets to compensate for past and future damage linked to Tehran.

Think through what that does.

Iran says the entire deal hinges on getting its $24 billion back.

Treasury's answer is to start metering that pot out to Kuwait and Bahrain, so every missile Tehran fires at its neighbors now drains its own recoverable fortune.

The airport terminal, the casualties, the repairs, it all gets billed to Iran's account.

Rep. Veronica Escobar claims that President Trump was "found guilty of r@pe by a jury of his peers."

That is not even remotely true and the last person who claimed that on cable news had to pay him a $15M settlement.

Writing a 30 year mortgage for someone on a 3 year temporary visa?

Why was this ever allowed in the first place?

People need to go to jail for that.

I’m not sure how much more betrayal we can endure.

Canada quietly slammed the brakes on transferring biological males into women’s prisons: approvals cratered from 80% to 23%. 73 of 90 trans women have been transferred to men’s jails where they belong.

Now a dangerous sex offender Amanda Joy Cooper with multiple female victims, including a 12-year-old is suing for entry to female prison. Post-op or not (biological males) do not belong in women’s spaces. Their safety isn’t optional.

SHOCKING 😳

Canada’s Finance Minster doesn’t know what a RECESSION is.

He instead thinks a recession means RECORD GDP Growth.

Best in the G7 in fact.
