[Tyler Bowyer @tylerbowyer]

I have spent the last decade having to go to DC for work.

Most of dc was hard to look at— homelessness everywhere, the city felt like Gotham at night. After blm quite a lot of businesses shuttered and never reopened.

Most notably, grass was dead, planters were destroyed and trashed, walkways, cement and stone were all poorly managed. They were dirty, overgrown with weeds, water was dirty and grass was brown patchy and terrible.

Now you walk around dc and it’s the exact opposite. Truly the entire city has been revived. Planters restored, grass cut back and filled in. You can walk around at almost any hour without fearing for your life. The memorials which I feel are beautiful at night in particular, are the nicest I’ve ever seen them. No broken fixtures or lights.

It’s amazing what can happen when you take care of a city.

President Trump has done for DC what Rudy Guiliani did for NYC and Americans should never forget it.

In 1979, the mullahs tortured the Shah's favourite horse to death.

The horse, Azar, was paraded in the streets. They broke his legs, cut his tongue out, and then shot him in the head in front of a large crowd.

Iran is occupied by demons from hell.

🚨 NOW: Outrage is erupting after the LARGEST K-12 book publisher in America Scholastic has been exposed for running ANTI-ICE books for CHILDREN — such as a little Mexican girl coming to America and realizing it's "stolen land"

The books also make the name "Donald Trump" synonymous with "fascism" 🤯

"They have to come here and reconquer."

"Why should they assimilate? No, they should not. They, in fact, should grab the land and make sure they take the land back."

Freaking ridiculous. Our education system is CORRUPTED!

🚨 THE MOST BLATANT, UNDENIABLE EXAMPLE OF TWO-TIER POLICING YOU WILL EVER SEE! 😡

A police liaison officer is filmed calmly addressing a large group of Muslim men outside a mosque in Stoke-on-Trent (Staffordshire Police, near Darul Falah Mosque in Hanley) amid disorder.

His exact words, spoken through a megaphone:

“If there’s any weapons or anything like that, what I would do is discard them at the mosque.”

“Don’t give anybody any reason to have any interaction with the police, so if there’s any weapons, get rid of them. We are not going to arrest anybody.”

Absolutely staggering. No searches. No arrests. Just friendly advice to stash the weapons inside the mosque and carry on.

Imagine if it was a group of white English lads tooled up with knives, bats or worse in the middle of the same chaos. We’d have seen riot gear deployed, police dogs, baton charges, mass arrests, air support, the full works, followed by blanket media coverage branding them “far-right thugs”.

Instead? A calm, helpful suggestion. A quiet word of advice: “Just discard them in the mosque, lads.”

This is blatant, on-camera proof of two-tier policing happening openly in the UK.

The force itself admitted this footage damaged public confidence. No wonder.

I organized an intervention to stop Elon from starting SpaceX. Here is the story...

Twenty five years ago, Elon and I sat in a car on a dark stretch of Long Island highway, two neurodiverse geeks staring at the night sky and wondering what came next. We had both experienced substantial exits and felt the weight of possibility ahead of us.

When I joked about 'space' while gazing upward, neither of us imagined we were planting the seed for what would become the largest IPO in history. We spent the next two hours debating why space was so hard. In the end, rockets are fuel and metal. We also debated where to go, and it was crystal clear that Mars was the only real destination.

Upon returning to NYC, we embarked on a global tour of space, meeting space agencies and luminaries worldwide. This opened our eyes to an industry stuck in bureaucratic thinking. If things continued at that pace, it was clear that we would never explore space in our lifetime.

So, we launched Life to Mars to show the world that two ambitious young men (29 and 30 years old), could send life to Mars without any government backing or support. We planned to send and grow plants on Mars, though some were pushing us to send mice.

We had a $50 MM budget that rested on our purchase of two Russian ICBMs for $7 MM each. We assumed one ICBM would fail, and we would learn and fix everything before launching again. When Elon went back to actually buy the ICBMs, the Russians tripled the price, bringing out launch costs from a total of $14 MM to $42 MM.

Our ambitious Life to Mars plan was no longer viable.

As you might imagine, Elon was not pleased. So, he decided to start SpaceX and create his own Mars rockets. Now, this is a crazy idea, both now and at the time, so I organized a large panel of top space experts, and we ambushed him at the Georgian Hotel one morning. It was set up like an intervention for an alcoholic, but for space.

Elon looked me in the eye when leaving the room and said, "I am going to do this." The intervention failed. Elon was committed. The rest is history.

I am excited to see this IPO after 25 years of hard work. What SpaceX has done is a testament to human will and overcoming insurmountable obstacles. It's nothing short of amazing.

Congratulations, E. Amazing.

“First We Cut the Throats of the Jews, Then the Gays and Finally the Christians”

(An article fromTichys Einblick)

Germany: Educators and social workers are discovering to their dismay that it is all but impossible to “integrate” young Muslim immigrants into German society.

Ark spokesman warns against radical young people

Teachers and social workers are sounding the alarm: Arab young people are becoming more and more radical. Islamism has long since won in some migrant milieus.

“Germany will soon be ours.” The sentence scares Wolfgang Büscher, and the man is hardly afraid of anything else.

The spokesman for the children’s and youth organization “Ark” says, “We are facing a catastrophe.” “Ark” looks after 7,000 children and young people from socially disadvantaged families every day in 33 facilities across the country. It is one of the largest aid organizations in the country.

More than 60% of the protégés have a so-called migration background. Muslim young people are radicalizing more and faster than ever before. “I have never experienced anything like this,” says Büscher. “Militant anti-Semitism” is sometimes a nice way of describing it.

“First we cut the throats of the Jews, then the gays, and finally the Christians,” a young Arab recently told him. Büscher tried to counteract this with small gestures:

He pinned a small Israel flag on the lapel of his jacket. A 12-year-old saw this and then told the social worker: “I hate you. We’ll take the country back.”

“Bild” newspaper shows that since the Hamas terrorist group massacred 1,200 Israelis, open hatred of Jews has become the norm in German schoolyards. “The integration went wrong. We hardly reach young people anymore,” says Herford teacher Birgit Ebel.

She reports that radical organizations — such as the Muslim Brotherhood or the extremist Turkish “Gray Wolves” — systematically try to recruit young people near schools and mosques.

Apparently with success: When Ebel observed a pro-Hamas rally and spotted some of her students in the demonstration, they shouted to their teacher: “Ms. Ebel, you Jewish whore.”

Büscher says he sees little chance of reaching Muslim young people. “With the very young, conversations can still work. It no longer works for older teenagers. They reject our culture, our values,” he says.

And the man for whom youth welfare was his life’s work then adds, visibly depressed: “The hatred is unimaginable.”

Aren’t these the guardians of “good and evil” who shouted that we have room? Or does the sentence apply again, as it did after the lost final victory in 1945… or the findings after the great pandemic?

Every thinking person could have predicted this development since 2015 at the latest. I assume that this Mr. Wolfgang Büscher and Ms. Birgit Ebel were at the forefront of defaming AfD politicians and their supporters as Nazis.

It is exactly this type of person who, with the best of intentions, does exactly the wrong thing because they DO NOT THINK further than their feelings.

They are probably only now starting to think about what they (the do-gooders) did wrong in their integration work and how they can change it for the better of society.

Rest assured, they have only made one mistake in that regard, and that is to believe that Muslims, who despise us and our culture, can be integrated into our way of life. Just as they will not be able to turn a wolf into a vegetarian, they will not be able to integrate Muslims into Western society.

Although I’m pretty sure that their solution will be that Muslims don’t have to integrate with us; that’s not necessary, but that we need to integrate with THEM.

I say NO, we will not bow to those who want to do us harm. The consequence for Muslims must be that they have to leave our countries, period.

After all, you don’t let a fox spend the night in the chicken coop, even if there are 1,000 hens in there, now, do you?

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

🚨🇬🇧 La policía ignoró a los inmigrantes que acosaban a una mujer en su casa y luego la amenazó con arrestarla por "odio racial" si denunciaba los hechos. Ahora, el hombre que lo expuso está esposado.

Una mujer fue acosada en su casa por inmigrantes. Acudió a la policía, pero no hicieron nada.

Cuando dijo que acudiría a la prensa, la amenazaron con arrestarla por "incitar al odio racial".

Un periodista ciudadano @ActivePatriotUK publicó información al respecto y fue arrestado por "comunicación maliciosa".

Lo retuvieron hasta las 11 de la noche, le confiscaron el teléfono y lo pusieron en libertad bajo fianza durante 3 meses con condiciones estrictas que no puede mencionar.

In France there is a new activity that the Left is getting their knickers in a twist about.

Le Canon Français is running massive banquets. For about £70 you can have great food and drinks and spend time singing patriotic songs.

The “Far Left” is furious.

LFI says it has evidence of racist chanting, and of immigrant staff being insulted. With pork regularly on the menu, they say the feasts are purposely designed to exclude Muslims and vegetarians.

Meanwhile, everyday people who love France, love food and beer are having the time of their lives.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Marc Andreessen just explained how the United States assassinated its own future.

In the 1970s, the Nixon administration launched something called Project Independence.

The mandate was absolute.

Andreessen: “Build a thousand new civilian nuclear power plants in the US by the year 2000.”

One thousand reactors. Unlimited, carbon-free baseload power. Enough electricity to move the entire country to electric vehicles four decades ahead of everyone else.

But it went further than energy.

Andreessen: “It’s called Project Independence because it means the US won’t have to be involved in the Middle East anymore, because we won’t need the oil.”

No oil dependence. No Gulf Wars. No generations of soldiers stationed in deserts protecting supply chains that never needed to exist.

A complete strategic withdrawal from the Middle East. Permanent.

And none of this was hypothetical.

Andreessen: “France ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power. Japan ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power.”

Other nations proved it worked at scale. America had more capital, more engineers, and more ambition than all of them.

Andreessen: “How many nuclear power plants were built out of the thousand? Rounds to zero.”

Zero.

Not because the physics failed. Not because something superior replaced it.

Because the same administration that drafted the blueprint for unlimited energy also created the institution that killed it.

Andreessen: “They never got built because the Nixon administration also created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which made it its purpose in life is to stop nuclear power plants from getting built.”

Same government. Same decade. Same pen.

One directive launching the most ambitious energy program in American history.

Another creating the bureaucracy that would quietly dismantle it from the inside.

Andreessen: “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission did not approve a new nuclear plant design for 40 years.”

Forty years of zero approved designs. Not because no one submitted them. Because the institution built to regulate nuclear energy became the institution built to prevent it.

That’s not oversight.

That’s abolition dressed as due diligence.

We spent the next fifty years fighting wars in the desert for a resource we never needed.

Choked the atmosphere with carbon we didn’t have to burn.

Terrified an entire generation with the illusion of scarcity.

And the entire time, the physics already worked.

The government didn’t fail to navigate the energy crisis.

They took the densest source of energy in the universe and drowned it in paperwork.

Every war fought for oil. Every carbon debate. Every geopolitical crisis of the last half century.

All of it was a policy choice.

We didn’t lack the technology to power the future.

We let a committee outlaw the math.
