In 2024, my husband and I attended our first political rally ever. There were so many people there, there were people we knew who couldn’t get in.
The next day the media reported it empty. My husband was dumbfounded. And that’s what made him register to vote.

I had the same experience! I went to my first ever political event, the Trump Rally in Lubbock this week and it was phenomenal, then the media got ahold of it, the next day what I read including his speech and crowd size made me feel like I dreamt it or I was going crazy…we don’t hate the media enough! Thank you so much for sharing, you’re not alone ;)!♥️

How biased is the mainstream news media?
Maggie Lynn Heron-Heidel found out first hand
Having just moved to North Carolina, Maggie decided to attend rallies for both Democrats and Republicans, in particular she attended a Trump rally last week
When she read the accounts of the speech the accounts differed widely from her experience in person
This is an almost 5 minute account but important to hear

If Palestinians are indigenous to Gaza:
1. Then why did the ancient 6th-century mosaic floor discovered on a Gaza beach feature King David playing a harp, Hebrew inscriptions, and a menorah?
2. Then why were the original Philistines an extinct Greek seafaring people from Crete who spoke an Aegean language, rather than Arabs who arrived 1,800 years later from the Arabian Peninsula?
3. Then why was Gaza home to an active Jewish community for over 3,000 years, until Arab pogroms ethnically cleansed the Jews in 1929?
Who are the colonizers again?

Jackson had the same spine injury that left Christopher Reeves paralyzed for life. He fully recovered, stunning the world
His mom’s secret? DMSO—a simple compound vets use for spinal injuries the FDA won’t approve. But that’s not the only “incurable” neurological disorder DMSO helps.
Approximately 2000 studies support DMSO's use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to strokes, MS, ALS, chronic pain, neuropathy, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome, and a physician who began treating his patients with it estimates roughly 80% of what people see neurologists for goes away with DMSO.🧵

Somebody help me understand this, because what I’m hearing is complete and total disdain for American culture.
First of all, I’m genuinely sorry that his parents never showed up for his games, but that’s no reason to tear down another man because his did.
Showing up for our children is part of American culture. We fill the bleachers, wear their numbers, and celebrate their accomplishments, even when they’re riding the pine. That’s what proud parents do.
And that “type” of mom he’s mocking? That’s an American mom. She wears her son’s jersey, cheers until she’s hoarse, and celebrates him win or lose, whether he’s the star player or gets minimal playing time. What’s disturbing is that he sees unconditional parental love and encouragement as something worthy of ridicule.
This has absolutely nothing to do with being a brown kid. If he grew up feeling like he was never enough, that’s something he needs to unpack with a therapist, not project onto another man and his family on a podcast.
And frankly, if his understanding of American culture is so warped that he openly ridicules one of its most recognizable family traditions, I have serious concerns about him being anywhere near a position of power in this country. We need leaders who understand and respect the people they’re supposed to represent, not people who sneer at the way American families raise and support their children.
He feels sorry for Pete Hegseth?
Sir, I pity you. 😞

Name one? How about a few?
Rockefeller lowered the cost of kerosene through efficient refining and distribution.
Ford made automobiles affordable through mass production.
Carnegie reduced steel production costs through industrial innovation.
Walton lowered retail prices through bulk purchasing and efficient logistics.
Dell made computers cheaper by eliminating retail intermediaries.
Kamprad made furniture affordable through flat-pack manufacturing and distribution.
Bezos intensified retail competition through Amazon.
Koum made international messaging practically free through WhatsApp.
Page and Brin made search, navigation, email, and translation available without direct charges.
And that's barely scratching the surface.
In fact, it would be considerably more challenging to find a billionaire who earned their fortune through voluntary trade without lowering costs, improving quality, increasing productivity, or making something more accessible.
That's how fortunes are generally made in competitive markets. You create value for others, and the more people you serve, the greater your potential reward.
You don't even have to buy from these businesses to benefit. Their competitors must improve their offerings or risk losing customers.
These clout chasers destroy their credibility daily without so much as flinching.
They enjoy the accumulated benefits of capitalist innovation while confidently demanding evidence that any of it ever happened.
The economic illiteracy would be impressive if it weren't so commonplace.

‼️NEW: Canada just dropped up to $1.6 billion of taxpayer cash on one of the worst-performing AI labs in the world.
- Cohere’s top model sits at #210 on the LMArena leaderboard...
The compute gap is brutal:
- Cohere: 8,500 GPUs vs xAI who is ramping up to 1.21 MILLION chips.
Cohere’s systems are 50–200× smaller than the frontier labs.
Another flop. Its the Lyon electric of AI.

So let me get this straight…
Trump jokes about Canada becoming the 51st state: NATIONAL EMERGENCY. ELBOWS UP. DEFEND OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
The EU announces a MASSIVE carbon tariff we aren’t exempt from… a plan to align our courts, BANKING, Regulations, Parliament and governance: What a wonderful partnership! This is progress! 🥰
Are we serious right now? 🫣

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more disrespectful response to legitimate questions from official opposition party members. Does he believe his FN heritage gives him a right to be unaccountable to the voters who put him in office? Disgusting.

Yep.
This message is for Christians, Conservatives and moderate Democrats if there are any left. You guys better get out and vote for Republicans up and down the ballot! Listen to @GadSaad words!
There are 153 Muslim socialists on November ballots running as Democrats…this should concern anyone focused on American values and national security.

Perhaps the Canada Strong pass wasn't such a great idea, eh?
The Piper needed to be paid eventually and apparently it's the employees of Parks Canada that are on the hook for the bill.

Did the Mississaugas say land acknowledgents and pay reparations to the Iroquois whom they displaced?
Did the Iroquois say land acknowledgements and pay reparations to the Wyandot whom they displaced?
Only stupid “white” people can be guilted into it, and will participate on the grift.
