In fact, the decision was unanimous and written by J Kagan: “The court’s conservative majority generally backs gun rights, and invoked the same federal law in throwing out a novel lawsuit brought by the Mexican government against gun manufacturers.” nbcnews.com/politics/supreme…

🚨JUST IN: Was just on a media briefing call with a senior US officials who confirm the MOU with Iran has been signed and outlines the following from their POV: "In general terms, the deal says if you're willing to behave like a normal country, we're willing to treat you like a normal country. It's performance based." - Strait of Hormuz is open, but it will take a few weeks to get travel back to normal. - A signing ceremony on Friday in Geneva including JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and others, and a large Iranian contigent. - The official stressed that we're here not just because of the last 1.5 years of the Trump administration, but because of the first 4 as well. The sanctions pressures built up and they believe created leverage. - The reason negotiations have been "very fruitful" was because of the "degredation of [Iran's] economy" and the "scattering of their government which created a lot of internal pressure." - There a significant new communication channels. The official describes the initial Islamabad meeting as very fruitful, despite not resulting in a deal. It laid the groundwork. - Operation Project Freedom has been an "unsung hero" in this, resulting in over 7 million barrels of oil a day. That increased US leverage. - The nuclear talks are described as "technical" in terms of how to retrieve the enriched uranium. - Stressed this is not "pay for play." They will not get access to markets or release of their funds just for showing up for a meeting. - There are "fascinating" internal political dynamics playing out in Iran. There are constituencies that want different things. Iran, by all accounts, should be incredibly wealthy. - "We go in very clear-eyed" that Iran has been a bad faith actor in negotiations for 47 years: "Everything will be verified... all released assets and sanction relief is tied to milestones." - The US will keep the current military force posture for now to make sure Iran "does what they say they're going to do." The deal contemplates a partial draw down upon the signing of the nuclear deal." - "One of the aspects of the negotiation that was actually easier than others was the nuclear, because they need our technical expertise to get the dust out." - Iran would probably love to have a nuclear weapon, but they know US intelligence is so precise that they can't do it in secret and the threat of force is now realized. - The Gulf States generally love this deal. They saw the JCPOA as empowering Iran to be a bad actor. They see this as a regional deal that pressures Iran to behave and bring stability to the entire region. - "The full deal will be published soon, but we're still in the building trust phase."

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement. Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier. Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème. Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs. Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours. La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

I wonder what late model smartphone this guy uses to make his philosophical pronouncement on the social media platform where his thoughts are broadcast to the entire world? I also kind of wonder if he has any thoughts on medical technology or lifespan trajectory over the past century

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

The LA fraud story is really unconvincing on my read, but I wish people would be less knee-jerk in rejecting allegations of fraud. It does happen and elections have even been reversed in my lifetime because of it. The moral of the boy who cried wolf is not that wolves don’t exist

What’s great is getting old enough to see the people who screeched “fascist” over regular Republicans, now voting for Nazi death squad enthusiasts who hurt women

I'll admit the propagandists got me, at least enough to bother to look into it a little. I actually opened my mind enough to bother looking up the USS Liberty story a few weeks ago, even though I know agitprop when I see it. People really should bother to go look into the story instead of just hanging out in the emotionally driven agitprop. Multiple investigations turn up no evidence of intentional wrongdoing. Israel apologizing and paying reparations. The facts of the relationship between Israel and the United States in 1967 (not quite the same as we have today!). The contingencies of the Six Day War. Here's one simple example. Before the Six Days War (June 5-11, 1967), the U.S. policy toward Israel and the Middle East was one of "balance." The U.S. refused to take a side. Through both the Kennedy and Eisenhower administrations, the goal was to strike a balance between the state of Israel, the local conservative monarchies, and the radical revolutionary Islamic states. The U.S. wasn't an ally of Israel; it was neutral and seeking to avoid any entanglements in the area. Its interests were dealing with the Soviets and the Cold War and oil concerns, mostly, and Israel wasn't that interesting of an ally in those concerns. After the Six Days War, which is when the friendly-fire attack on the USS Liberty occurred (on Day 4 of 6, so June 8), U.S. policy on Israel and the Middle East shifted completely to alignment with Israel that became allyship. Why would the United States shift from neutrality to alignment with a country that had just attacked one of its naval vessels unless it was already clear hostilities weren't intended? "Don't touch our boats" was an attitude of the U.S. Navy at the time too, and one of our boats definitely got touched. Two or three days later, however, you see the United States immediately shifting its priorities to the one that lasts to today: military support and coordination with Israel, conditional support for Arab states based on their alignment with U.S. interests, and working actively to contain pro-Communist forces and movements in the region. Think about it for a second. The "attack" on the USS Liberty hits on June 8, 1967, and ENDS long-standing U.S. policy not to be involved in the tumults of the Middle East. Within just three or four days, the United States throws in WITH, not AGAINST, Israel in the region. It is this alignment that the propagandists today are trying to undo, ironically using the USS Liberty attack as a lever. If you look into any of the details of this story, the emotionally driven agitating propaganda from the Woke Right and its accessories (plainly visible all over social media for months now and TPUSA platforms this week) completely falls apart. None of their claims make any sense except that they make you FEEL betrayed. If you're falling for it, you're being manipulated. How can you get unmanipulated? THINK FOR YOURSELF! Rather than listening to podcasters and agitprop artists and short TikTok videos, go research the story yourself. You'll be angry that you did because it will show you that you've been manipulated and that the manipulation not only led you to hold awful positions but to have to waste your time looking into this little bit of largely irrelevant military history (in any big picture). You'll find the declassified reports from both countries finding no evidence of wrongdoing. You'll find reports of the CIA recognizing the power and strategic value of aligning explicitly with Israel for all U.S. interests (America first!). You'll find that Israel stopped the attack as soon as it realized, apologized, paid reparations, did a thorough investigation, etc. You'll also find out that the U.S. wasn't even an ally of Israel before or during the war but was just days later after the war ended, which cannot be explained by believing the attack was deliberate as an act of war against a U.S. Naval vessel and our brave U.S. Seamen. Think for yourself. Do your own REAL research. You'll see how much you're being lied to, yet again, just like during Covid, and you can start to ask yourself WHY. The answer is simple: The Woke Right is the CONTINUATION of the Woke project to destroy America, using the Right now since they hit a wall (namely, us) with using the Left.

For those dismissing the possibility of fraud in CA vote, please remember that key protections we're told are built into the law turn out to be vaporous in practice: --'You need to sign it' .... A mark or slash will do. --'We check those signatures.' ... LA election workers told @jenlynncallahan they don't. x.com/jenlynncallahan/status… --'Must be postmarked by Election Day' ... No! Fine print in regs lets voters self-date. x.com/Susan_Shelley/status/2… --'Ballot "harvesters" must sign the ballot envelope!' ... But the ballot's still counted if they don't. All this doesn't mean there was fraud. Still ...

Fifty-nine years ago today, an American Naval vessel, the USS Liberty, was attacked by air and sea by the State of Israel. Of the 234 men on the ship, 34 Americans were killed. 171 were wounded. Today, Thomas Massie will take to the House floor to memorialize the worst interpretation of the event, an interpretation that suggests Israel attacked the American ship on purpose and that our own government either coordinated with them to do, or is complicit in the cover up. The USS Liberty has become a rallying cry for many of the worst voices in public life. From the Groyper Wars against Charlie Kirk, to Tucker Carlson’s blackpill-and-despair political project, to Candace Owens’ global jihad of grift and Jew hared, the Conspiracy Theories surrounding the USS Liberty have become one of the most respectable ways to advance anti-Israel and anti-American sentiment. But what really happened on that terrible day in 1967? How can we know what’s true? And what does it mean for us six decades later? Conspiracy Theorists love to overwhelm you with the sheer volume of their claims, but there are 8 claims which makeup the core of the argument. We thoroughly address those eight in this episode, and shine a light on the phenomena that undergird these Conspiracy Theories in the first place. Here's an honest accounting of what happened on June 8, 1967, and how — and why — bad actors are lying to you about it:

Astronomers have directly observed the rotation of a protoplanetary disk in real time for the first time, focusing on the young star AB Aurigae, a nearby system where planets are still forming inside a broad disk of gas and dust. Protoplanetary disks are the raw material from which planetary systems emerge, but until now their motion had mostly been inferred through indirect methods or through gas observations. In this case, researchers used the SPHERE instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope to track the movement of dust structures in the disk over several years, allowing them to see how the disk itself evolves and rotates. The disk around AB Aurigae mostly follows the expected Keplerian motion: material closer to the star moves faster, while material farther away moves more slowly, as gravity predicts. However, the observations also revealed important deviations from this simple pattern, especially in the inner regions of the disk. Some structures appear to move in ways that do not fully match standard theoretical models, suggesting that the disk is being disturbed by complex internal processes. One strong possibility is that forming giant planets are interacting gravitationally with the surrounding material, shaping spirals, shadows, clumps, and accretion zones as they grow. This is especially interesting because AB Aurigae has already been considered one of the best laboratories for studying planet formation. Previous observations had identified spiral structures and possible protoplanet candidates, including AB Aurigae b, a massive object still embedded in the disk. The new observations add a dynamic dimension to that picture: instead of seeing the disk as a static image, astronomers can now follow how its structures move over time. That makes it possible to test whether suspected planets are really responsible for the observed distortions. The study also found rapidly moving shadows cast across the surface of the disk. These shadows may be produced by opaque dust clumps or by forming planetary bodies orbiting close to the star. Their motion suggests that the inner disk is not a simple, flat, orderly structure, but a disturbed and evolving environment where several bodies or dense accumulations of material may be interacting at once. In some regions, the disk appears to rotate more slowly than expected, which may indicate that the forming planets are not moving in the same plane as the main disk or may be following inclined or elliptical orbits. The importance of this observation is that it gives us a more direct way to study planet formation as an active process. Instead of only identifying gaps, rings, or spirals and then inferring the presence of planets, we can now watch how those structures change with time. This makes it easier to connect disk dynamics with the hidden objects that may be shaping them. The result shows that planetary nurseries are more complex than idealized models suggest, and that planets may form in environments that are tilted, unstable, shadowed, and dynamically disturbed. 👉 share.google/NeBQPOo4pz0ywab…

Every cycle is a Flight 93 election for both sides now. Every election is an existential threat if the other side wins and so anything is justified and all can be rationalized. It’s not sustainable.

Omg this hits hard 😬

Only a matter of time before Butthurt McButthurtface here starts opining that the Nazis should have “finished the job”

If you won’t vote for Susan Collins over an honest-to-God Nazi, then spare us the “if only the GOP was like it was in 20XX.” You will simply never support a Republican, no matter how moderate, and no matter how disqualifying the positions or personal life of the Dem nominee.

There isn’t a single Epstein woman who couldn’t get a sit down with a credulous podcaster—or even a credulous Pulitzer winner if they so choose—and get an hour long monologue to accuse people without challenge, informing DOJ that way. This is all an op to create political pressure to get a giant settlement from the FBI of their frivolous lawsuit, and journalists have poorly served the public because they fantasize that they can use the ambiguity to cudgel Trump.

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

Massie is lying. June 22, 2025 -- Trump announces the formation of a MAGA Super PAC in Kentucky, and that Tony Fabrizio (2024 campaign pollster) and Chris LaCivita (2024 co-campaign manager) would be heading up the effort to unseat Massie. This came after Massie criticized Trump's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, and after Massie's first vote against the OBBB. He voted against it a second time on July 3. July 15, 2025 -- Massie announces he and Khanna a sponsoring a discharge petition to force release of the Epstein files. Massie RESPONDED to the announcement Trump was putting at target on his back by creating the discharge petition that 214 GOP House members refused to join. Trump put a target on Massie's back because of his criticism of the Iran strike, and his vote against the OBBB, which rolled up all the Trump 2.0 policy changes in one reconciliation bill. THOMAS MASSIE IS A LIAR. Same guy who in the last 48 hours of the campaign ran an ad featuring Trump's 2022 endorsement of him as if Trump was endorsing him again in 2026. x.com/mtracey/status/2058938…
