Is the Trump-Iran deal a good deal? Yes. In fact, it's The Best Deal. I'll explain why. Right now you’re seeing a ton of people and media outlets picking apart the speculative details of The Deal. Pro tip: don’t do that yet. People did the exact same thing when the war started. You were either pro-war or anti-war, no nuance allowed. My take from the beginning was simple: America was probably going to end up in a war with Iran at some point in our lifetimes. If that’s the case, I’d rather have Trump in charge when it happens than anyone else. I like to think Trump saw it the same way — might as well get it done now, wrap it up cleanly before the midterms, and make sure it doesn’t drag on for years only to end with America getting ripped off like we did under Obama. You'll see reputable sources claiming the US is going to give Iran $300 billion and unlock frozen assets so they can rebuild. This is probably what JD Vance is calling “regional investment”, which is smart framing, because it makes clear you’re getting something in return. A growing, thriving Middle East is good for everyone. The right way to look at this right now is simple: there was only one deal possible — the best one Trump could get. There’s a decent chance more details drop in the next few days that make some of us scratch our heads. Suppose we are spending billions to help repair Iran. That might just be the price of making sure they never get a nuclear weapon. Sometimes the cost is high. In those cases, you figure out exactly what it takes to get what you want… and then you pay it. You have to trust that Trump got the best deal available. A lot of people are already saying he shouldn’t unfreeze any assets or give them reconstruction money. What they don’t understand is that wasn’t on the table. If it was possible, it would’ve happened. Trump got the best of what was realistically achievable. You’re going to see a lot of people negatively critique the deal for weeks to come. What those people are doing is imagining there was a better deal and comparing it to the one Trump came out with. They wanted a Fairy Tale Deal where Iran signed away everything. That wasn’t possible. There are no Fairy Tale Deals in the real world. Trump got the best deal possible.

🚨 Breaking and absolutely massive. The DEA just dropped numbers that should shake the entire country awake. Under President Trump, the lethality of fentanyl pills on the street has collapsed. Not dipped. Not slid. Collapsed. Two years ago, 76 percent of these pills were strong enough to kill you on the spot. Today that number is down to 29 percent. The DEA literally called it jaw dropping. That’s what happens when a real president puts every lever of government on an all hands on deck mission to save American lives. This is what leadership looks like. This is how you fight a drug war that was killing our people by the thousands. Trump did it. He’s saving lives while the media pretends not to notice. This is huge. This matters. Thank you President Trump.

Iranian who escaped Sharia law warns the West: "I'm Iranian. I went to prison under Islamic law. I know how it starts… and it always starts with the Left uniting with Islamists. I came to Canada for freedom. now I’m watching the exact same pattern. They appease. Weakness invites more. They will never stop." This man lived it. The West is sleepwalking into the same nightmare.

I’ve got Starlink beaming high-speed internet from space straight to my Cyberbeast. Five devices are connected. My kids are learning with Grok. My significant other is planning our next trip. Tesla FSD is taking my family and me safely and peacefully to beautiful Santa Barbara, as I’m sitting back drinking my fresh coffee. And while all of that is happening, I’m uploading this post through Starlink so I can share this feeling with the world on 𝕏. Sometimes I have to stop and think about how crazy this is. I guess this is what living in the Muskonomy feels like… you feel like you’re living in 2069.

An excellent, nuanced take on the current situation. He and we will not rest until the great Persian people are free from religious tyranny again 💯🫡🇺🇲
A note on this memorandum of understanding between Islamic regime-US: The Islamic Regime is like stage-four metastatic cancer that has spread throughout the entire body. This cancer has only one goal: to survive at all costs. It drains every last resource and every drop of life from the host just to keep itself alive. Sometimes you can’t remove the tumor in one massive surgery, because the patient is already so weak that the operation itself could kill them. You have to take out the largest, most dangerous tumors first, then begin chemotherapy. Chemo is neither painless nor cheap. The patient usually gets worse before getting better. It takes time. If Trump simply wanted to eliminate the regime at any price, it would have been easy, completely destroying Iran would have destroyed the regime automatically. But that’s not what he wants. He wants Iran to survive. That’s why he has chosen the harder, longer road. This path is not easy. If it were, it would have been done a thousand times already. There will be ups and downs. Remember: Trump’s tactics are often momentary, don’t take them too literally. What matters is the overall trend and long-term strategy. Be assured that this regime has no place in the new world order, and Trump knows better than anyone that it is not reformable. And most importantly: Trump is not alone. Iran has millions of true lovers, both inside the country and in exile, even though almost the entire world benefits from keeping this regime in place. We will take Iran back. 
“Though the journey is extremely dangerous and the destination seems so far,
there is no road that does not have an end, so do not grieve.” Javid Shah long live Iran

Asteroid mining is not only going to make a lot more trillionaires, it's going to make us all rich. Just like the Industrial Revolution, the Space Revolution will greatly increase standards of living across humanity... yours, mine, everyone's. Electric light and indoor plumbing were once luxuries. Now they are so universal that we can have them and still think of ourselves as poor. But preindustrial folk would have thought us wealthy beyond measure. What's coming is another paradigm shift. You may think this is all theoretical. You may think asteroid mining is an unproven concept. You're wrong. Because you don't know one critical fact. We're already asteroid mining. And we've been doing it since the Bronze Age. All gold we mine on earth, all the copper for wires, the uranium for reactors, all the iron for nails, everything made of heavy metals that you own, or use, or have ever seen... it's all mined from ancient asteroid strikes. All the native Earth metals sunk to the core when the whole planet was molten. Past our reach. Do you think there are precious metals, like gold and silver and platinum? Do you think that even common metals, like iron and tin and copper, cost a lot to extract and refine? Artificial scarcity. Every piece of metal you have ever seen was sourced from the tiny percentage of asteroids that once hit Earth. Leave the gravity well, learn to sail the void, and we can loot all the asteroids that haven't. Imagine that we built all of civilization picking up our raw materials, grain by grain, with tweezers. Asteroid mining, true asteroid mining, is a shovel. And no, not a hand tool shovel, I mean the shovel attachment on the front of an industrial digger. That's why SpaceX has trillion dollar plus valuation. And unless we screw things up on Earth, and sabotage them somehow, that valuation is way too low. Below here, you'll see a different part of the plan. A little company, running out of a little industrial space in the San Fernando Valley, is building humanity the ultimate shopping bag. They think Mars is a sideshow, you see. They want to bag up asteroids, just scoop the little ones right up with a great big robot butterfly net, and bring back to high Earth orbit. Strip them down there, and build. If you thought data centers in space are wild, wait until you see factories in space. Wait until everything from toasters to CPUs to machine tools are made in high orbit, or on the moon, and the only bits that ever make it to Earth on the finished products. In space, minerals are cheap. And power is free. And it doesn't cost much of anything to move goods down a gravity well. You have no idea what's coming. Neither does SpaceX or Transastra, for that matter. They've got a hold of the tail of the elephant, and they think the Space Revolution is a rope. I'm a science fiction author. My job is to see the whole elephant. It's a big fucking elephant.
The secret plan is out! Two great articles today about our plan to capture a small asteroid and bring it into Earth orbit. The concept is part of our New Moon mission, which explores relocating a small near-Earth asteroid into a controlled orbit as the first step toward building industrial infrastructure in space. Our team has been developing the key technologies for this approach for years, including capture mechanisms to constrain and move small asteroids and orbital debris. Accessing materials already in space could eventually enable a new generation of industries beyond Earth. If you're interested in the future of space resources, these articles are worth a read. hashtag#space hashtag#asteroidmining hashtag#spacetechnology hashtag#spacex hashtag#venture

I see the Leftist/Ukrainian bots got a new talking point. They say “these labs weren’t even a secret”. Yeah, no shit, they were officially on the books via the DTRA. But if these labs were not a secret, then why did the Biden admin and MSM claim that these labs didn’t exist? Why did they censor and ban anyone who talked about these labs, which were not secret? That’s the whole point. The Biden admin, along with their lapdogs in the media, just blatantly lied about the existence of these labs, despite the fact that we had incontrovertible evidence that these labs existed. It was even codified into US law via the Nunn-Lugar Act. The Biden admin and the media just lied about reality, hoping this problem would go away. That’s why this is such a big deal. Because we caught them in a massive lie, which clearly means they have something to hide. Flashback to March 10, 2022, when then Senator Rubio admitted that the “fact-checkers” straight up said that the labs didn’t exist, and they should have acknowledged it. Well then the question becomes, who told them to lie, and why? The answer is, because they are an arm of the Democrat party, and they are attempting to cover their tracks. They admitted their guilt in the process of the coverup.

They legit want to keep dangerous criminals around. Insanity💀🤡🤬
FACT CHECK: Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Many of the individuals the media counts as 'non-criminals' are actually terrorists, human rights abusers, and foreign fugitives who just don't have a rap sheet in the U.S. We are going after the worst of the worst, including gang members, pedophiles, and rapists.

Nunca dejes que las burlas de los demás detengan tus metas. Cuando propuse que el Hospital Rosales, que en ese momento era el peor hospital del país, se convirtiera en el mejor de Centroamérica, hasta mis propios ministros se rieron. Imaginen lo que decían la oposición y los incrédulos. Pero yo sabía que, con esfuerzo, disciplina y sin mirar hacia atrás ni hacia los lados, se podía lograr. Y lo logramos. Hoy, el Hospital Rosales es el mejor hospital de Centroamérica, público o privado. Cuenta con todas las especialidades médicas, el equipamiento más avanzado del mundo, 200 especialistas extranjeros y 3,000 salvadoreños listos para atender cualquier enfermedad de forma gratuita. El siguiente paso es que más hospitales de nuestro país alcancen ese nivel. Pronto tendremos otra sorpresa. Primero Dios.

SpaceX a clôturé son premier jour de cotation à 2 100 milliards de dollars, 19%. Tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce qu'il price réellement. Laissez-moi vous dire ce que le marché vient d'acheter, et pourquoi je pense que cette boîte vaudra 30 à 50 trillions d'ici 5 ans. D'abord, le symbole. Cette IPO est un référendum. D'un côté, 20 ans de discours sur la décroissance, la sobriété, la redistribution, la fin de l'histoire gérée par des comités. De l'autre, un homme qui a dit "je vais rendre l'humanité multiplanétaire", que tout le monde a traité de clown, et qui vient de créer la plus grosse entreprise cotée de l'histoire en partant d'un entrepôt à El Segundo. Le marché a voté. Le wokisme avait des départements RH, SpaceX avait des fusées. Les fusées ont gagné. Ensuite, la mécanique économique, parce que c'est là que tout le monde se trompe. Les analystes valorisent SpaceX comme une entreprise de lancement plus Starlink. C'est comme valoriser Internet en 1995 sur le marché du fax. Starship ne réduit pas le coût du kilo en orbite de 20%, il le divise par 100. Et chaque fois dans l'histoire qu'un coût d'infrastructure est divisé par 100, ce n'est pas le marché existant qui grossit, ce sont des industries entières qui naissent. Le coût du calcul divisé par 100 a donné Internet, le smartphone, l'IA. Le coût de l'orbite divisé par 100 va donner une économie spatiale complète. Faisons la liste de ce qui devient rentable quand le kilo en orbite coûte le prix d'un billet d'avion. Les data centers orbitaux, avec énergie solaire continue et refroidissement gratuit, au moment exact où l'IA fait exploser la demande énergétique terrestre. La fabrication en microgravité de semi-conducteurs, de fibres optiques, d'organes imprimés impossibles à produire sous gravité. Le tourisme orbital de masse, puis les hôtels lunaires, qui passeront du fantasme au business plan exactement comme la croisière de luxe au 20ème siècle. Le transport point à point terrestre, Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. L'industrie minière des astéroïdes, dont un seul corps de classe M contient plus de métaux que tout ce que l'humanité a extrait depuis le néolithique. Et Mars en ligne de mire, pas comme destination touristique, mais comme le plus grand projet d'infrastructure jamais entrepris, avec tout ce que ça implique de demande en énergie, matériaux, robotique, IA. SpaceX ne participera pas à ces marchés. SpaceX possède le péage d'entrée de tous ces marchés. C'est AWS, mais pour la civilisation. Apple vaut 3 500 milliards en vendant des rectangles de verre sur une seule planète. Le premier monopole d'accès à une frontière infinie à 30 ou 50 trillions dans 5 ans, ce n'est pas de l'exubérance, c'est une simple règle de trois sur l'expansion du marché adressable. Et maintenant, la partie que je préfère. Ce futur n'a pas besoin de bureaucrates. Il n'y a pas de comité consultatif en orbite. Pas de commission Théodule sur Mars. Chaque dollar de cette nouvelle économie sera créé par des ingénieurs, des techniciens, des soudeurs, des pilotes, des entrepreneurs. Les diplômés en gestion de la norme vont devoir apprendre un métier utile, et franchement, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour eux aussi : construire est infiniment plus fun que contrôler. Parce que c'est ça, le vrai signal d'aujourd'hui. Pendant 50 ans on nous a vendu un futur rétréci : moins d'énergie, moins d'enfants, moins d'ambition, gérer le déclin proprement. Et là, d'un coup, le plus gros actif financier du monde est un pari sur l'abondance, l'expansion et l'aventure. Le pessimisme vient de passer en position vendeuse sur lui-même. Le futur sera méga fun. Il y aura des hôtels avec vue sur la Terre, des honeymoons en orbite, des gamins qui diront "papa, c'était comment avant les fusées réutilisables" comme on dit "c'était comment avant Internet". Et quelque part dans les années 2030, un humain marchera sur Mars en livestream devant 5 milliards de personnes, et ce jour-là plus personne ne se souviendra du nom d'un seul de ses détracteurs. Achetez de l'optimisme. C'est encore sous-valorisé.

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

Some fans are clearly uncomfortable with it, but Reaves is going to land a sizable contract this offseason, and it will be with the Lakers. The front office simply isn't going to let an asset like that walk for nothing. It makes zero sense, and it won't happen. The Doncic-Reaves partnership is still in its early stages and has long-term potential to carry the Lakers through the rest of the decade. Not many teams have that. I honestly don't think the Lakers are that far away from contention. A few key moves could put them right in the mix. #LakeShow

Victor Davis Hanson drops truth: American fascists won’t be orange, crude, or sporting a comb-over. They’ll be suave elites like Zohran Mamdani and Obama — smooth operators who control institutions, silence dissent, weaponize agencies, censor the truth, and rig the system to cling to power. VDH nails the Hunter Biden laptop suppression, Trump lawfare, media collusion, and FBI social media censorship. The establishment is doing exactly what they accuse Trump of wanting. Wake up, America.
