I can write 100,000 words and give 1,000 interviews trying to explain this and then @TheBabylonBee nails it with 11 words.

Welp, I think we're done here. Trump himself is now saying he buckled under the pressure of Hormuz. It's as bad as it could possibly be. He's saying aloud that Iran can have anything it wants because America can't afford the staring contest. If this is his own explanation in his own words, then the fact that the sanctions relief is front-loaded...suddenly becomes important. The fact that the inspections regime that will verify compliance will be negotiated by an American side that has already admitted defeat, that needs this more than the opponent needs it...is now significant. And the fact that the proxy system is now recognized as legitimate by the United States -- is suddenly exactly the disaster you feared it might be. And the fact that America has declared aloud that it's not actually capable of imposing its will even in the world's most vital energy chokepoints, causing its allies in the Gulf to already begin to seek a new accommodation with Iran -- makes all of this worse than Obama and worse than the JCPOA. Remember: the great unfixable flaw of the JCPOA that none of its boosters ever had a good answer for was that it merely kicked the can down the road. It solved nothing. Trump's deal, as of this moment, is not even close to accomplishing so much. "Iran never won a war and never lost a negotiation," Trump famously said of Obama's deal (as a reporter reminded him at today's press conference). Ironic that the Iranians would win a negotiation most spectacularly against a man who styles himself the greatest negotiator to ever grace the White House. So what does it all mean? It means that in the coming years, nuclear programs will sprout like mushrooms after the rain throughout the Middle East. It means that many nations will now build out new and larger ballistic missile arsenals. It means that the state system will give way before the march of the region's transnational ideological axes. Minorities will again be trampled, new wars will be fought by stronger states to dominate the power vacuums within weaker ones. You're thinking of Israel in Lebanon -- but that's just a specific campaign against a specific enemy. Think Turkey, which right now occupies a region of Syria vastly larger than Israel's presence in Lebanon. Think heightened Iranian support for the Houthis in Yemen and a new influx of money and guns to the different sides in Libya. It means, in other words, that we will have a few more wars to fight, a few more technologies to invent to deal with this new age of cheap missiles and drones -- and also of supersonic Chinese missiles bearing nuclear warheads that Iran will eventually, inevitably, be capable of deploying against us. And it didn't have to be this bad. (And maybe, when he's heard all the criticism, it won't be.) He could have left something, anything, to concede later. He could have kept the Iranians a little bit in the dark, just a smidgen, as to just how defeated America feels. Israel's position in all this is simple, and more or less unchanged from last week. America gave us more than we had a right to ask for. But we may be going it alone from here out. Dust off the nukes. Maybe test one somewhere far away from anywhere. Quadruple the interceptor production lines, double the size of the Mossad and the Air Force. And no, don't let Hezbollah breathe, not for a second. It's the 1960s again. And Israel will have to defeat a couple more enemies before it can once again eke out a few decades of peace.

Rape gangs are not some kind of aberration. Ask any combat veteran what they saw in Afghanistan. The sexual torture and slavery of children is utterly commonplace in Muslim countries. It’s part of their “culture.” Which is why it’s suicidal to import that culture into the west.

AfD is the only party that will actually do something about the gang rapes and murders

BREAKING: The US has released the full text of its 14-point "Memorandum of Understanding" with Iran. Key terms include: 1. The US, Iran, and their allies agree to immediately and permanently end military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon 2. The US and Iran agree to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and not interfere in each other's internal affairs 3. The US and Iran commit to negotiating and reaching a final deal within 60 days, unless mutually extended 4. The US will begin removing its naval blockade immediately and fully end the blockade within 30 days 5. Iran will use its best efforts to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days with no charge 6. The US and regional partners will develop a mutually agreed plan of at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development 7. The US will work toward terminating all types of sanctions against Iran, including UN, IAEA, primary, and secondary sanctions 8. Iran reaffirms that it will not procure or develop nuclear weapons and agrees to address its enriched material stockpile under IAEA supervision 9. Until a final deal is reached, Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, while the US will impose no new sanctions and deploy no additional forces 10. The US Treasury will issue waivers for Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, derivatives, and associated banking, insurance, and transportation services 11. The US will make frozen or restricted Iranian funds and assets fully available for use 12. The US and Iran will establish an executive mechanism to monitor implementation of the MOU and future compliance with the final deal 13. After signing the MOU and implementing key ceasefire, blockade, shipping, oil waiver, and asset-release provisions, the US and Iran will begin final deal negotiations 14. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution The memorandum will trigger a 60-day window to negotiate a final deal.

FWIW, I am working on a much more detailed take on the MOU and related matters, but let me post this very brief thought: I find much to be concerned about in this MOU and I am truly hopeful that the next 60-days can be used to make important amendments to it.  I trust the administration is open to making some very important changes and not dug in as this negotiation continues.  To name only one issue among others, there is no way most Americans, let alone Israelis and the Lebanese, can abide a deal in which Hezbollah, which has brutally murdered hundreds of our fellow citizens, is essentially protected by our government in alliance with the Iranian regime, and free to continue to kill Americans, Israelis, and others as the most potent terror weapon of the Iranian regime not only survives but is immunized.  And since Israel is the only country that actually fights this enemy with its soldiers and airmen, and whose citizens are in the direct line of fire from missile and drone attacks, nobody in their right mind will tolerate this.  No amount of berating our ally or pressuring the PM, which is shocking, changes anything.  I want to underscore Hezbollah has killed our people and we've done next to nothing to deal with it.  In and of itself, that is shameful.

250 thousand white girls raped and trafficked by Muslim immigrant pedophiles in the UK. Industrial scale sexual abuse and torture inflicted on the native inhabitants by barbaric foreign gangs who were welcomed into the country by the government. One of the worst scandals in the history of the western world. It really is that bad. Anyone who ignores this story is forever discredited going forward. Watch especially for the people on “our side” who look the other way.

October 7th did not end an era. It started one. We are watching the birth of a new Israel — wounded, yes, but for the first time in 77 years, truly her own. 🇮🇱✨ I want to speak to my friends who feel betrayed this week. I feel it too. I'm not going to tell you the feeling is wrong. There is a deal now between Washington and Tehran. A ceasefire. The blockade lifting. Oil flowing again. And an American president — on his 80th birthday — telling Jerusalem to lower its sword just as the enemy looked cornered. If that leaves you confused, even heartbroken, you are not naïve. You are paying attention. But step back with me. It is baffling how fast we turn. The same voices who called Trump a flawless champion now call him the devil — over a deal they haven't even read. That isn't discernment. That's panic wearing the mask of conviction. So let me tell you what I actually see. For decades, presidents drew red lines in disappearing ink. The mullahs learned that American threats expire faster than milk. Trump broke that pattern. He didn't just talk — he acted. He shattered the myth of Iranian invincibility and forced the regime to bargain from weakness instead of swagger. That is the hardest blow Iran's empire has taken in forty years. So why pull back now? Because Trump is not only Israel's friend. He is America's president. And a president has to read more than one map — inflation, gas prices, an economy, an election that decides whether he governs or drowns in investigations. He isn't abandoning Israel. He's protecting the ground that lets him keep standing with her. But here is the harder truth — and I've said it for years, long before this week made it plain: Israel was never meant to lean on anyone forever. Not even America. A nation that outsources its survival has rented its sovereignty. And rent always comes due. The decision about whether Israel lives cannot be made in Washington. It must be made in Jerusalem — by the people who will live or die by the answer. That is not a betrayal of friendship. It is the meaning of friendship between equals. True allies are not echoes. They argue, sometimes fiercely, precisely because the stakes are real. A prime minister's first oath is not to a foreign capital. It is to the child asleep in Be'er Sheva and the soldier awake on the northern border. If the threat is existential, Israel must keep the right to act alone — and carry the loneliness that comes with it. That loneliness is not weakness. It is the price of being built to last. So let me say something strange: this painful chapter may be one of the best things to happen to Israel in a generation. Pressure forces evolution. It deepens self-reliance. It builds an army that answers to no one else's calendar. It pushes Israel toward new friendships across a region that once swore to erase her. And Tehran? It looks like iron. It is rust. A regime that rules a people who do not love it, atop an economy it cannot fix, leaning on a fear it can no longer enforce. Empires built on terror are always weaker than they look the morning before they fall. I believe this one could fall before 2028. History always looks like chaos while you're standing inside it. It only looks inevitable later — when the dust settles and God's pattern finally shows. So here is what I hold onto: This is not about one man. God protected Trump; he played his part. But do not put your faith in mortal men. Put it in the Almighty. The same nations that tried to erase Israel in 1948 are quietly realizing they need her. Her real wealth was never oil or rare earth. It is grit. Genius. Medicine. Technology. And a moral clarity no army can manufacture. Be patient. Pray often. Have faith. One day soon the truth will be revealed, and the whole world will owe a debt to the Jewish people and to Israel — for our sacrifices, for confronting evil, for making this world safer for all our children. We live in the most incredible times. Take heart. The best is yet to come. 🕊️✨ #Israel #StandWithIsrael #Faith #MessianicTimes #HistoryInTheMaking

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it. The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state. What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it. Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure. In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

He might have a point. The Sunnis of Syria remember the atrocities of the Syrian civil war, and Hezbollah’s role in them. They’d love nothing more than to see every last member and supporter of Hezbollah shuffled off to the afterlife. But this would be catastrophic for Lebanon, far more than the Israeli operation. The upside for Israel: Since it wouldn’t be Israel doing the fighting, no westerner would care. x.com/AmitSegal/status/20668…

Restore Britain has been labelled as ‘extremist’ by Zack Polanski, ‘racist’ by endless Labour MPs, ‘repulsive’ by Jeremy Corbyn and ‘neo-nazis’ by Reform. Our immigration policy has certainly ruffled a few feathers. Take a read, and let me know if you think it’s as unacceptable as the British establishment wants you to believe... Step number one, straightforward. Illegal migrants gone. Every man, woman and child. Deported. I don’t care about the consequences. This is the most pressing issue, and a Restore Britain Government will tackle it with the enthusiasm it deserves. We are the only party to lay out in excruciating detail exactly how we do it. 110 policy pages of pure deportation joy. Mass deportations. Real mass deportations. And we mean it. Step two? Legal immigration. Criminal migrants? Don’t even need to discuss. Gone. Day one. If a migrant living in Britain can’t speak English, we will deport them. How on earth can they contribute when they can’t speak English. They can’t, so they will be removed. The only foreign language translation a Restore Britain Government will provide is the seatbelt instructions on their flight home. Foreign nationals living in social housing? We will deport them. British social housing should be for British families. Evidently, they can’t financially support themselves so they will be removed. There is a pattern here. If a foreign national is claiming benefits, they too will be removed. Pay your way, and then some, or you will be sent packing. Foreign Islamists spreading hate? We will remove them. Gladly. Those mosques found to be harbouring these extremists will be shut down, and those foreign nationals enabling it will also be removed. And of course, moving on to the reason Farage tried to put me in prison. Because he thought my position was so very extreme... If a Pakistani wife is aware that her husband has been gang-raping English children but fails to report it? She will be deported back to Pakistan. I hope her husband isn’t as fortunate. Dual nationals involved in this filth will have their British citizenship stripped, and they will be removed. Incoming immigration. There will be significant net negative immigration - FAR more will leave than arrive. FAR more. Those who do will contribute and integrate, providing high skills. Spouses of British men and women from non-red list countries will be welcome - that is positive immigration and should be encouraged. A Restore Britain Government will end immigration from Red List countries. Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Eritrea. A full list is being drafted. We will discriminate. Immigration from Sudan is not the same as immigration from Australia. OBVIOUSLY. We will get called racist for saying that, but honestly I could not care less anymore. Restore Britain is willing to do what needs to be done. We will implement an immigration system that puts one group of people first. The British people. That is what a Restore Britain Government will do. Without apology, compromise or backtracking.

Yesterday Trump did an interview with the New York Times where he said some very important things that I don’t see covered anywhere. Instead, everyone is busy covering the regime’s propaganda, which is really shameful. In the 28-minute phone conversation that President Trump initiated from the White House residence, he made several statements: 1. Trump emphasized that if the regime kills protesters, it will prevent them from getting full sanctions relief and access to $25 billion in frozen funds. He insisted that Iran would receive no relief from sanctions or release of its frozen financial assets until it delivered on its commitments. 2. Trump openly acknowledged what he had said on the opening day of the war, when he urged the Iranian people to rise up and take over their government once the American and Israeli bombing was complete. He admitted he had said that, but went on to note that the Iranian people did not have access to arms, and would be slaughtered if they tried. 3. Trump made it clear he is ready to restart military attacks. He insisted that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the United States, he would restart military attacks on Tehran. His finger remains on the trigger. 4. Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping and called him “a total gentleman.” He said: “He didn’t send a tanker, along with 20 destroyers on each side of it, to try and break up the blockade,” noting that Xi helped (or at least did not interfere) in the settlement. This must answer your question that why he ended the blockade, probably cause China would not tolerate it any longer. 5. The most important and interesting point: Trump said that if Iran does not reach a final deal, he would make the United States “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues. He described this as turning American protection of the region, and the U.S. nuclear umbrella, into a paid police force, there in return for profit. This is a very Trumpian departure from post-World War II American tradition. This last point is especially significant. Trump is directly telling the Arabs and others who want the regime to stay in power and who are not seriously helping with regime change: “Okay, I’ll handle security for the region, but I’m not doing it for free.” He knows exactly what game some of these countries are playing, continuing to fund or tolerate the regime and regional proxies to keep Iran destabilized and weak. Trump has read their hand, and he is putting a clear price tag on America’s role as the region’s guardian. The full interview contains even more details that deserve attention rather than the regime’s narrative being pushed everywhere. nytimes.com/2026/06/14/us/po…

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem: "The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist." "I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra." Elon breaks it down: Step 1: Question the requirements. "Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question." Step 2: Try to delete it. "Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there." Step 3: Optimize or simplify. "The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete." Step 4: Speed it up. "Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist." Step 5: Automate. "And then the fifth thing is to automate it." Elon explains why the order matters: "I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."

An extremely reliable test of whether you're an honest, sane, & decent human being is whether you agree with this. If you don't, you're not.

Feminists love to call housewives "unpaid workers" as if we're being exploited. Let me tell you what my "unpaid" life looks like. I wake up without an alarm. I make breakfast for my children while my husband heads off to provide for us. I spend my mornings teaching my kids, playing with them, watching them grow. I cook meals from scratch. I keep our home beautiful and peaceful. Meanwhile, the "empowered" career woman wakes up to an alarm at 6am, drops her kids off with strangers, sits in traffic, spends 8 hours making someone else rich, sits in traffic again, picks up fast food because she's too exhausted to cook, and collapses into bed dreading tomorrow. And I'm the one being exploited?? The only thing I'm missing is a boss who doesn't care about me and a paycheck that mostly goes to daycare.

Holding this coward accountable is sound judgment.

I'm not thrilled about the reported terms of the Iran deal, but it's not terrible. Nor will it last: Iran has no choice but war or revolution. Those comparing it to the Obama deal ignore the destruction of Iran's military and leadership. Remember we had to fight two Barbary wars.

This is a fairly long film in terms of what X likes, but it is one of the most important and detailed videos that absolutely everybody should bookmark, watch and share. This is the most detailed evidence-based film about the Origins of the Palestinian Cause, right from its Nazi roots. I cannot complement the producer of this film, @rehoov, enough. This is a masterpiece of historical significance. I hope people like @MOSSADil @marklevinshow @DefiyantlyFree @BillAckman @ACTBrigitte @jihadwatchRS and others may share this to a much wider audience. It is so essential that the truth is seen by everyone, and the lies exposed.
