Here we go again... rather than working to ensure a 'good death' for all by funding end of life care, yet another misguided MP is pushing for assisted suicide Thankfully my @BBCOne documentary explaining mine & others opposition is still on @BBCiPlayer bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

lovely

Important thread from Dan regarding the dishonesty around the assisted suicide bill

1/ In British history we've had the rump Parliament, the Addled Parliament, the long and the short Parliament and now in 2026 we have the student Parliament. It's a Parliament of pointless Early Day Motions and unamended assisted suicide legislation written by lobbyists.

President Trump was informed before the Israeli strike. He understands that when the IRGC and Hezbollah attack Israeli civilians, Israel has the right to respond. Hezbollah launched its war on October 8, plotted a cross-border invasion, and has fired missiles, rockets, and drones at Israeli civilians ever since. Tehran’s goal is clear: use terror proxies to attack Israel while forcing Washington to restrain Israel’s response. I am hopeful that the president won’t let Iran get away with that. If he does, he will be conceding to three elements of Iranian extortion: nuclear, Hormuz and Hezbollah. And, if he does, his Iran policy will be a disaster.

Read the attached on degrowth movement from Europe 🙄🤨 it is wackadoddle crazy so learn and avoid its ethos.

For the record. SpaceX, Hayek, and the Progressive War on Wealth Creation The progressive left clings to the fantasy that wealth is manufactured by the state and its pet technocrats rather than by entrepreneurs who risk their own capital to create real value. In their mythology, government planners are the heroic “designers” of prosperity, while the private sector is a problem to be taxed, regulated, and morally lectured. As Hayek warned, “the more the state ‘plans’ the more difficult planning becomes for the individual,” and progressives are determined to make individual planning all but impossible. Their entire project rests on a basic fraud, confusing redistribution with creation. Social-democratic and socialist progressives boast about “fairness” and “equity,” but their toolkit is nothing more than confiscation and reallocation, slicing the same pie thinner while pretending they’ve baked a new one. Hayek’s point that “there is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal” goes straight over their heads, they weaponize the latter to justify endless expropriation from those who actually produce. The manufactured outrage on the progressive left over the SpaceX IPO is not about fraud, abuse, or failure, it is about their ongoing indoctrination campaign to portray success, risk-taking, and genuine wealth creation as moral crimes. A private company goes from “10 percent chance of success” to one of the most valuable enterprises on earth, and their instinctive response is not admiration or curiosity, but rage that such achievement is even allowed to exist. They see Elon Musk’s trillionaire status not as the byproduct of extraordinary innovation and execution, but as a kind of cosmic theft that must be punished by the tax state. This is entirely consistent with the broader progressive project, socialize resentment, demonize entrepreneurial gains, and condition the public to believe that any concentration of wealth outside the state is inherently illegitimate. Hayek saw this coming decades ago when he warned that central planning steadily erodes the scope for individual initiative, because the logical end of their ideology is a public that no longer dares to think in terms of independent ambition or long-term wealth building. Progressive leaders feed this mindset daily, insisting that “rigged” markets and “oligarchs” are the problem, while cleverly leaving the state, and its favored constituencies, as the only acceptable repositories of power and resources. Their reaction to SpaceX is a case study in this pathology. A company that has slashed launch costs, expanded human access to space, and built critical strategic infrastructure is reduced in their rhetoric to a symbol of “inequality” and “greed,” precisely because it exposes how much more effective decentralized, risk-taking capital can be than bureaucratic planning. The message encoded in their fury is clear, do not build, do not risk, do not aspire, unless it is under the watchful, confiscatory eye of the state. $SPCX

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense. SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world. Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere. SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity. Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help. The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist. Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives. Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation. Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears. Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction. We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

Counterpoint: Causing GBH to a female officer with a sledgehammer in an act of political violence meets most people's definition of terrorism.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

Chapter two of my new book, Israel on Trial, discusses the legitimacy of the State of Israel. The first thing to understand is that Israel is actually an old country in the world—not ancient Israel, not the Kingdom of Judea—but the modern State of Israel, founded on May 14th, 1948. It was the 59th state accepted into the United Nations. There are now 193 countries, which makes Israel older than 67% of all the countries in the world. It really was created at this moment in time very much like, and not in an aberrational way, all the other countries that were being created in this period of decolonization in the Middle East, Africa, and in Asia when colonists were leaving their colonies behind and drawing lines on a map. And so, in that sense, Israel’s creation was not all that different from the creation of Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, or even Cameroon. But the point here is that the claim that Israel is illegitimate can be analyzed very simply because although our anthropologists and linguists have identified over 7,000 distinct ethnic groups, different peoples around the world, the reality is that over 98% of them don't have states of their own. What makes it possible for a group to gain independence, sovereignty, and have their own legitimate nation-state? There is a legal test for statehood, and it comes from the Montevideo Convention, signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1933. It's called the Montevideo Convention and it has four simple elements: 1. Do you have defined borders? 2. Do you have a defined population? 3. Do you have the capacity to engage in foreign relations? 4. Do you have a single effective government? Israel has had all of those things from the moment it was founded until today, and every second in between. By contrast, the supposed State of Palestine does not meet—and in fact fails—the four-factor Montevideo test. It lacks defined borders and is not governed by a single effective government, but rather by three separate authorities, none of which exercises legitimate governing authority over the whole population.

Absolutely

Imagine if Elon Musk had a global platform that anyone could use for free to bitch about Elon Musk not doing something with his money that would benefit others......

Elon Musk's contribution to the national economy: Over 2021–2025, Musk's companies (Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company) reportedly injected ~$338 billion directly into the U.S. economy via: • $110.7 billion in wages/salaries (supporting • 200,000 employees at competitive pay). • ~$46 billion in taxes (corporate, payroll, etc.). • $182 billion in supplier spending (e.g., Tesla alone spent heavily on U.S. batteries, chips, steel). Source: odaily.news/en/post/5207545 - - - - - During his lifetime, Bernie Sanders has contributed approximately $0.00 to the national economy.

UN whistleblower warns: UNRWA staff fired for Hamas terrorist links may likely be receiving $50,000 each as “termination indemnity.” We are calling on all UNRWA donor states—Germany, UK, France, Canada, Australia Netherlands—to ensure that not one more penny goes to terrorists.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell is one of the most impressive people in America. Her interview on CNBC is a must-watch. I loved her answer about SpaceX’s role as a government contractor: “We’re always going to support our government. We’re a company of patriots, and we want to make sure our government has access to the leading technology and the best stuff. And I think we provide the best stuff.”

There is an alarming media report about an effort by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) to target civics programs with the alleged help of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation... jonathanturley.org/2026/06/1…

The whole Karmelo Anthony uproar is insane to me. If a black boy were murdered because he refused to let a white boy in his personal space, there were would be mass protests calling it an act of "white supremacy." I'm supposed to believe the kid stabbed to death is the villain?
