Lots of humour in The King’s speech. All delivered with a twinkle in the eye. Content aside, simply as a public speaker, I’m not sure any British politician can match him

If this is true — and I think it is — Trump’s war in Iran will be remembered not just as a victory, but also a heroic one.

EXCLUSIVE: Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining. Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded. Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant. “My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.” The software engineers — all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were soon confronted by protesters who surrounded the restaurant, shouting insults and blowing whistles in their ears as they attempted to leave, according to Lee. Lee emphasized to Alpha News that the group’s political views were mixed, but said the encounter left some of them reconsidering their positions. “One of us is pro-ICE, one anti-ICE, others on the fence,” he said. “After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything.”

Yes, the rising tide of hatred is a real and serious problem — but it's cowardice that allows it to spread. This is my message to Christian leaders:

NEW: Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector has a meltdown on Heritage President Kevin Roberts for his video defending Tucker Carlson. Rector said that conservatives *do* need to 'cancel' certain voices on the right as he raged against Carlson. Rector compared Carlson to David Duke at one point in his rant. "We do cancel ... Because if they’re in your movement, you look like clowns. The issue here is Tucker Carlson … Tucker’s show is like stepping into a lunatic asylum."

Remarkable moment between Trump and Powell.

This interview with @Snowden is the longest video I've ever posted. I kept asking questions, because what he says is interesting:

.@SecRubio: "We'll defend our people ... but let's hope they don't choose that route. Let's all hope that they actually decide, 'let's go negotiate' because we want a diplomatic and peaceful solution."

She is amazing and a must hear! This lady who once lived in Pakistan shares her views on illegals and the riots in LA. Big props to her for speaking out!

Reflections: Several months ago, I started a website to search federal awards. The idea here was we'd find general waste, cut spending, execute on a vision of smaller government. And there's certainly a lot of bloat. However, what started out as waste-cutting quickly morphed into understanding why so much money is leaving the federal government and going into NGOs. These NGOs have been responsible for trafficking 20 million illegal immigrants into our country during the Biden years, many of them receiving benefits. And many of these NGOs also are the primary beneficiaries of foreign aid. And then I dig deeper - there is an entire ideology, an entire philosophy connecting this web of foreign aid and mass migration. This is the same ideology which led Congress to finance Ukraine, but not Hurricane Helene victims. This is the same ideology which led us into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This is the same ideology that George Soros outlined in his essay, "Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO." This is the same ideology which caused President Biden to declare 74 million supporters of President Trump the greatest threat to our Republic. To defeat government waste, we have to defeat this ideology. I never expected to set on this path. I don't know where it will head. But I will continue to do my part.

You need a license to cut hair in America, but not to be the U.S. Surgeon General? Dr. Mary Talley Bowden @MdBreathe joined me on @LoomerUnleashed to expose @RobertKennedyJr's pick for Surgeon General, @CaseyMeansMD, a woman who never completed her residency, doesn’t have an active medical license while she calls herself MD, and can’t legally prescribe medication. She's a failed doctor turned social media influencer, and now RFK Jr wants her in charge of YOUR health? This is nothing more than quackery disguised as cutting-edge health policy. Is this what MAHA was really about all along? Seems like MAHA has been hijacked.

NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG: "We're going to build NVIDIA's technology all here in the US. Without the President's leadership, policies, support, and strong encouragement -- manufacturing in the US wouldn't have accelerated to this pace." Wow. 🔥

Catherine Fitts on @TuckerCarlson mentioned this clip of Sir James Goldsmith explaining globalization to Charlie Rose in 1994. It seems like things went exactly the way he said. The most important thing I took from it is that the economy should be there to serve society, not society to serve the economy. We've gotten that so backwards.

Adm. William McRaven, who led the mission to kill Osama bin Laden and authors a new book on navigating a crisis, weighs in what's playing out at the Pentagon with Secretary Hegseth.

Rumors are going around that Pete Hegseth might be on his way out. I don’t know if that’s true, but just in case, I want to do a thread on his style. To me, Hegseth’s wardrobe reflects a common pitfall guys fall into when they first start caring about clothes. 🧵

The key point people are missing about DeepSeek-R1 is that its true strength lies not in its current output quality, but in its openly demonstrated capacity for autonomous self-improvement – a system designed to scale independently of human supervision. "On the bottom of this box has been found hope."
