NEWS: Elon Musk clarified that Ukraine’s claims of Starlink slowing their drones stemmed from Kyiv violating the commercial service’s terms of service by using it for offensive strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week, the SpaceX CEO said, stressing that allowed for such purposes and remains limited to civilian or defensive activities.
Musk distinguished this from Starshield, the separate military system controlled by the U.S. government, whose limits are set by the U.S. military and ultimately the president.
Musk wrote on 𝕏: “Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.”

4 years of these two bitches asking Biden what his favorite ice cream is and running interference for Hunter
This is hysterical.
Dana Bash tells Nicolle Wallace that "real objective reporters" from "traditional news networks" are being undermined by reporters from right-leaning outlets.
Because they ask "Dear Leader" question like "'I'm sorry, Mr. President. Are you great or are you Bash. Nicolle Wallace. CNN. MSNOW.
Bashing other outlets for being partisan and undermining the real objective journos.
They would seriously have you believe that a Biden or Obama press conference wasn't full of sycophantic media.
I'm dead.

The Republican Party that embraced Chamber of Commerce economics and adventurist foreign policy was a perpetual loser.
The Republican Party that talks about hiring American workers, bringing back real fair trade, and ending endless wars has created a lasting political movement.

This is the 2012 election map where Obama decisively beat Romney. Romney and Paul Ryan talked non-stop about "entrepreneurs" without really mentioning workers. They told you old factory jobs were gone and never coming back. They wanted more tax cuts, and an interventionist this map, and peel away North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona - and that would be the losing future if people like Tillis regain control.

Der "POINT OF NO RETURN" in der Lehre von Von Mises:
"Ein Staat wird in an dem Punkt beinahe unreformierbar, an dem die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung finanziell oder strukturell vom Staat abhängig ist (Staatsangestellte, Beamte, Subventions- oder Förderungsempfänger, Bezieher von Transferleistungen etc.) Sobald die Gruppe derjenigen, die netto vom Staat profitiert oder alimentiert wird, größer ist als die Gruppe, bei der dies nicht der Fall ist, blockiert das System Reformen, da die Mehrheit aus Eigeninteresse für den Erhalt oder Ausbau staatlicher Leistungen stimmt."
Das ist genau die shice, die wir haben.

THIS SHOCKED ME: If you think the US is better than the UK when it comes to illegal immigrants raping women, you’d be wrong.
I've heard from several rape and sexual assault victims who have been pressured into accepting shorter sentences for their rapists due to them being in
This is the exact type of thing we’ve been hearing out of the UK and sadly the US seems to be no different.

This article of mine didn't get posted until now, but better late than never. Katie Hobbs REFUSED to be interviewed by Kris Mayes' office for this criminal investigation, yet Mayes still predictably exonerated her. Corruption at its finest, but Dems have to keep getting their cronies elected.
Mayes announced that she will not be filing charges against Hobbs over an alleged pay-to-play scheme. Hobbs was accused of granting Sunshine Residential Homes, a foster care group home provider, a substantial rate increase after the business contributed to her inaugural fund. This increase placed it a higher rate than other providers, who did not receive the increases.
Sunshine gave $100,000 to Hobbs’ 2023 inaugural fund. The company also gave $300,000 to the Arizona Democratic Party during 2022–2023. Additional contributions, including from company principals Simon and Elizabeth Kottoor, and later contributions of $150,000 went to a Hobbs legal defense fund.
And if you like my articles, sign up for them free for 30 days ($15/mth after that).

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said she will not charge Gov. Katie Hobbs over pay-to-play allegations, saying a two-year investigation found no evidence of the quid pro quo needed for a bribery charge. Hobbs' office said the report shows no wrongdoing; Senate President Republican opponent, criticized the decision.

This morning, two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants after being charged with lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election. Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia - despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election.
Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them. When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold.
Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth.

Illegal crossings aren't inevitable. They're the result of policy decisions and Britain has the power to make different ones.
The EU's 2016 deal with Turkey dramatically reduced asylum arrivals. So did the Trump administration's policies. Small-boat crossings are a policy choice, not a fact of nature.
@JGustavssonPhD on why Britain has the power to reverse them:

George Washington did sign a deal to end the Revolution. It was called the Treaty of Paris, and it established America’s boundaries and water rights, handled war debts, allowed for return of prisoners of war, provided restitution for property, and even gave the British the right to navigate the Mississippi River.
That’s how wars end. Mitt Romney doesn’t know this, because Romneys don’t fight wars. Romneys either flee to Europe or stay home and get rich while better men fight wars for them. The Romneys never saw a war they weren’t willing to dodge while demanding better men fight it for them.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this.
Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts.
It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter.
Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so.
Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa.
Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent.
JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.

Vice President JD Vance breaks down the data:
"If you are working as an H-1B visa in the United States of America, you’re earning $20,000 less than an American citizen hired in the same position. If you were brought in by one of these foreign outsourcing firms, you’re making erican citizen in a similar position. So I’m sure that everybody here understands the game that is being played. You bring in indentured servants from outside the country, you lay off American workers and, if you’re a corporation, you make a ton of money by under cutting the wages of American workers, replacing them with people who frankly shouldn’t be in the United States of America to begin with."
