• @MarioNawful

• CHINA SIMULATES STARLINK TAKEOVER WITH 1,000 DRONES. Chinese researchers just ran a massive war simulation to see if they could shut down Starlink over Taiwan. Their answer? Technically yes, but only if they use over 1,000 high-flying drones blasting signals in sync like a sci-fi light show. Why so tricky? Starlink is fast, smart, and built to survive chaos. It bounces between satellites, hops frequencies, and adapts on the fly, something that helped Ukraine keep fighting in 2022. The study shows it’s possible to jam it… just not easy.
• ROBLOX BANNED THE GUY CATCHING PREDATORS - KEPT THE 30% CUT FROM THEIR SERVERS. 75 million kids log in daily. The 764 cult operates openly. Shirts saying "I love CP" pass moderation. Kids traded for Discord Nitro trials. An 11-year-old sold for crypto. All happening while Roblox banks 30% on every transaction. One YouTuber - Schlep, himself a former Roblox grooming victim - catches predators, gets 6 arrests. Roblox's response? Cease-and-desist letter, platform ban, press release calling vigilantes the problem. The math is simple: moderation costs money. Predators generate traffic. Traffic generates transactions. Transactions generate 30% commissions. The incentive structure is a death trap. This isn't negligence - it's a business model. They could deploy AI to catch "pedophile rapist" usernames (even misspelled). They won't. They could ban servers with 764 imagery. They don't. They could thank the guy getting arrests. Instead they sued him. Every Robux card bought at Target funds the infrastructure. Every parent who knows and keeps paying is complicit. The platform's message is clear: profit trumps kids. Every single time.
• ZELENSKY: AMERICAN PEACE PLAN COULD FINALLY END THE BLOODSHED. “The Ukrainian delegation is working in Geneva today, focused on finding doable solutions to end the war, restore peace, and guarantee lasting security. There is an understanding that the American proposals may include elements based on Ukrainian perspectives and critical for our national interests. Work is ongoing to make all elements effective in achieving the main goal anticipated by our people: to finally put an end to the bloodshed and war.” 

• @NickSortor

• JUST IN: President Trump is demanding Congress IMMEDIATELY pass the SAVE Act, which would require in-person voter registration and NATIONWIDE proof of citizenship. What the hell are we waiting for?! GET IT DONE, @LeaderJohnThune! (pic)

• @WallStreetApes

• Elon Musk exposes California Democrat NGOs make a fortune off the homeless “They're getting close to a million dollars per drug zombie — They need to keep them in the area so they get the revenue — They don't arrest the drug dealers because otherwise the drug zombies would leave”. “Homeless is the wrong word. Like, homeless implies that somebody got a little behind on their mortgage payments and if they just got a job offer, they'd be back on their feet. But someone who is totally dead inside shuffling along down the street with a needle dangling out of their leg, you know, taking a dump in the middle of the street, they're not, like, one job offer away from getting back on their feet. You know, these sort of charities, they get this money. The money is proportionate to the number of homeless people. Their incentive structure is to maximize the number of drug zombies, not minimize it. (video)

• @WallStreetMav

• Zelenskyy knows that with a peace deal, his days are numbered. Which country will he flee to in exile to save his life? He has no future in Ukraine. He won't win another election if he signs a deal giving away 20% of Ukrainian land. He will likely be assassinated if he remains in Ukraine. If there is an audit, he loses the money he has stashed in other countries. He needs full amnesty and no audit as part of any peace deal. That is what he is holding out for right now.

• @BreannaMorello

• JUST POSTED. President Donald Trump renews his calls to Free Tina Peters. No word on if he plans to hold back federal funding until she’s released. (pic)

• @newstart_2024

• “Ever wonder about the deeper origins of the global climate narrative? In 1975, the Club of Rome’s report Mankind at the Turning Point famously opened with: ‘The world has cancer, and the cancer is man.’ It called for a ‘global context’ solution—a new world economic order and resource allocation system. Then, in their 1991 book The First Global Revolution (page 115), they wrote: ‘In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill… The real enemy then is humanity itself.’ (video)

• I am so sick of hearing about Congress and their insider stock market trading. You all suck. Take your defense, big pharma and other stocks and stick them where the sun doesn’t shine. You’re a bunch of crooks for doing this, while the American people suffer from your theft and grift. This insider trading sweet heart deal you voted for yourselves moons ago is an abuse of We The People and we’re sick of it. @LeaderJohnThune @SpeakerJohnson @realDonaldTrump you should speak up more about this corruption. They’re ripping us all off!
• Why are the steps so hard to understand and even harder to implement @realDonaldTrump execute! 

• @DC_Draino

• “Why do you want to free Tina Peters so badly?” Not only is it a moral and legal wrong that must be rectified, but I’ve met Tina Peters. She is an all American mother with a warm soul and determined heart. Her Navy SEAL son already died in service to his country. Her family gave more to this country than we ever deserved, yet she saw election fraud and still fought to expose it. She knew the consequences and still did it anyway. She not only deserves to be freed - she deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

• @BasedSamParker

• @EricLDaugh

• BREAKING: President Trump announces he will PULL all U.S. taxpayer dollars from Nigeria due to the "GENOCIDE" of Christians. GOOD! Not a DIME until the slaughter ends. "Nigeria's a disgrace...they're killing people by the thousands. It's a genocide, and I'm REALLY angry about it!" "And we pay a lot of subsidy to Nigeria. We're going to end up stopping. The government's done NOTHING." "They are very ineffective. They're killing Christians AT WILL."
• JUST IN: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says some GOP senators are invested in the Russia-Ukraine war CONTINUING, torches insider stock trading within Congress. "You actually have our own side...our own GOP senators that are coming out against it, let me give you a wild guess as to where they are personally invested with in regards to their stock portfolios. You guessed it, military industrial complex." "Any member of Congress that's saying that it's not happening, A, is lying to you. Both Democrats and Republicans that are engaging in individual stock trades are getting on average 600% returns outperforming the S&P." (video)
• BREAKING: Secretary Marco Rubio is now fighting off a MASSIVE propaganda operation trying to TANK the Russia-Ukraine peace plan. Senator ROUNDS and KING told the Fake News that Rubio took a "Russian document" and turned it into the American plan. RUBIO: "The peace proposal was authored by the U.S. It is offered as a strong framework for ongoing negotiations. It is based on input from the Russian side. But it is also based on previous and ongoing input from Ukraine." There is an ALL-OUT attempt right now to tank every single effort to end the war by shouting it's "Pro-Russia," so the Ukrainians decline.

• @Rasmussen_Poll

• It's clear that SOMEONE has an Astroturf budget for targeting Tina Peters. They should rethink their involvement. This is not about state laws passed to protect election information. It has BECOME a foreign election fraud syndicate exposure matter. And that is dangerous business.

• @susanCrabtree

• Serious question as @SenMarkKelly is trying to lead a sedition against the Trump administration: Why hasn't any senator on the Intelligence Committee or
  @TulsiGabbard or another Trump-run Intel official asked about what I first reported years ago -- that Kelly recruited Chinese Company TenCent to fund his stratospheric balloon company? The question remains: Did TenCent pass any technology info they gleaned from their ties to Kelly's balloon company, World View, onto the Chinese government/CCP needed to build these stratospheric balloons -- that China used to fly over the United States during the Biden admin?
