To be clear - I did not vote blue. I voted exactly like I said. I voted red where there was a candidate that wasn’t supporting mRNA or crossing any of my other red line issues. Where I could not vote for the GOP candidate I wrote people in.
Principle matters and if you don’t put principle over party you have no principles.

Republicans are mad we didn’t vote for them.
We didn’t vote for you because you spent two years gaslighting us. You didn’t care about the glyphosate rule. You didn’t care about mRNA. You didn’t care about the Iran war. You didn’t care about high grocery prices.
And when beef hit records with the U.S. cattle herd at a 75-year low, you imported from Argentina instead of helping American farmers rebuild their herds.
Thanks. That’ll help Americans. 🙄

Who besides WEF's CyberPolygon would have the resources and the expertise to pull off so many massive cyber attacks across the globe?
The WEF created CyberPolygon in 2019 to bring global experts together to simulate wide-scale cyber attacks - just like the pandemic exercises.
🚨 BREAKING: CASABLANCA, MOROCCO'S BIGGEST CITY, JUST WENT DARK. THAT IS 5 COUNTRIES LOSING POWER IN 5 DAYS. AND AT LEAST 33 COUNTRIES NOW TELL PEOPLE TO STOCK UP.
This is what Covid looked like in week 1. A few countries. A few dark nights. Nobody called it an emergency.
1/ 🇨🇺 Cuba: it began here. The grid totally collapsed in March, July and September. On Sunday it collapsed AGAIN, at least the 4th time this year. Almost the entire island went dark.
2/ 🇺🇦 Ukraine: overnight into Saturday, Russia sent 172 drones and 36 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and nearby regions. Substations in 5 regions were hit, one of them linking 2 nuclear power plants to Kyiv. The capital was left struggling for power, water and heat.
3/ 🇧🇷 Brazil: on Saturday night, the lights went out across part of Manaus, the Amazon's largest city, home to around 2 million people.
4/ 🇻🇪 Venezuela: power outages are getting worse across the country, and people are protesting. Satellite images show 15 of the 20 Venezuelan cities that lost the most night light this year are in just 3 states.
5/ 🇲🇦 Morocco: and now this. Yesterday afternoon, storms damaged the national high-voltage grid and Casablanca went dark. 8 neighbourhoods and 3 nearby towns lost power. Traffic lights at major crossings were disrupted. Network data shows internet in the city fell to 67% of normal.
Now zoom out.
Grids are old. Fuel is running low. Storms and missiles hit the lines. One storm cut power across Morocco's biggest city.
Covid closed the world in weeks. Nobody is calling this a crisis yet. But governments already plan for the day the grid goes dark.
🇬🇧 Britain wants every home to keep 3 days of food and water. The BBC has a "Black Sky" plan for the day the UK loses power, internet and phones. Its radio towers hold up to 40,000 litres of diesel to run for 3 days.
🇪🇺 The EU says keep supplies for at least 72 hours. 🇸🇪 Sweden and 🇳🇴 Norway say a week. 🇩🇪 Germany says up to 10 days. 🇫🇷 France, 🇫🇮 Finland, 🇱🇹 Lithuania and 🇨🇿 Czechia say 72 hours. 🇯🇵 Japan urged people to stock food and water. At least 33 countries now give the same advice.
The rich are not waiting. One US bunker builder has about $70 million of home bunkers being built. The main threat his clients are building for is a long grid-down event. His words: "The grid is fragile."
When it hits your city, the people who prepared will wait it out at home. Everyone else will be in the dark, racing for empty shelves.
TV will show you one dark city at a time. I'll show you every country going dark. Follow me.

@SenatorSlotkin fantasized about weaponizing Congress to push her “deterrence message”:
Associate w/ President Trump, and her Senate majority will come for you. She wants Americans avoiding the Admin altogether—or else get “a ton of problems.”
Sounds potentially illegal to me.

👏R. Fico Premier Ministre de la Slovaquie👏
dit tout haut ce que tout le monde pense tout bas. En plus, Il n’exagère pas‼️
- Les deux deux grandes puissances qui sont le moteur de l’Union Européenne sont l’Allemagne et la France.
- En Allemagne, le gouvernement veut interdire l’AFD qui a remporté les deux dernières élections et se trouve aujourd’hui aux portes du Pouvoir.
- En France, nous sommes dans une situation désespérée.
- La Pologne, malgré la résistance illégale de son Premier Ministre, Tusk soutenu par l’UE, veut sortir de l’UE pour retrouver sa souveraineté.
- La Slovaquie en a assez de mettre la main au portefeuille pour financer l’UE et ses folies guerrières.
- D’autres États de l’UE prennent le même chemin pour ne plus subir les dictats de Von der Leyen et ses complices.
Il est vraiment de se rendre compte que nous courrons à notre perte en restant soumis à cette dictature ‼️
- Dites-vous bien que si la presse française occulte ces rebellions, c’est tout simplement pour éviter que nous fassions de même ‼️

A drive through parts of South Minneapolis reveals boarded-up buildings, vacant lots, and visible drug activity. What does this mean for the residents and workers who call the area home?

Has any world leader been more of a delight than Nayib Bukele? If you'd told me even a few months ago that he'd be deploying Salvadorean special forces, accompanied by robot dogs, to hunt down Haitian gangs on their own territory, I'd have laughed at you. But here we are.

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget
"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."
"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."
This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

😡 My heart is breaking watching this...
Justice Clarence Thomas just dropped the TRUTH that every American needs to hear. Progressivism isn’t just some harmless idea — it’s a direct assault on the very soul of this country. It wants to replace God-given rights with government-granted privileges. It demands we become weak, subservient, and dependent.
This is an OUTRAGE. I sure do hope that Congress will finally step up and FIX THIS before it’s too late. Justice Clarence Thomas is a TRUE PATRIOT — a man of courage, conviction, and unwavering love for the Constitution and the America our Founders envisioned.
In a time when so many are afraid to speak truth, he stands tall. I am sure that you are just as OUTRAGED over this as I am. If this video moves you like it moved me, share it. Loudly. Our rights don’t come from Washington. They come from God. And no government will ever take that away from us.

After SIX YEARS of monitoring even my private conversations, the German government found NOTHING to arrest me for.
They were scared of my connections in the U.S.
They know that LIBERTY makes me too powerful to control.
I applied for asylum, not for a media stunt, but because the German government put a target on my back.
I now expose the truth with @Deu_Kurier

In December 1952 a young New Zealand writer was days away from a lobotomy, with her mother's signature already on the consent form. The operation was cancelled only because the hospital superintendent happened to read in his newspaper that her first book had won the country's top literary prize. She had never had the illness they were treating.
Janet Frame was a shy, red-haired teacher's college student from a poor railway family in Otago. In 1945, at 21, she had a breakdown, and within weeks she was committed to Seacliff Mental Hospital outside Dunedin and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She looked the condition up in a textbook and found it described as a slow, incurable deterioration of the mind. She spent most of the next eight years being proved right by the people treating her.
Over those years she was given more than 200 rounds of electroconvulsive therapy, unmodified, with no anaesthetic and no muscle relaxant. She said later that it shredded her memory. In between she wrote. A friend gathered her stories and got them published in 1951, as The Lagoon, while she was still a patient.
By late 1952 the doctors had decided the next step was a prefrontal leucotomy, cutting the connections at the front of her brain to make her calmer. Her mother, told it was for the best, signed. Janet counted down the days.
Then the superintendent, Dr Geoffrey Blake-Palmer, came onto the ward holding a newspaper. The Lagoon had won the Hubert Church Memorial Award. He told her he had decided she should stay as she was. The operation was cancelled.
In 1957, at the Maudsley Hospital in London, a team of psychiatrists examined her properly and told her she had never had schizophrenia. They said she should never have been put in a mental hospital at all, and that most of what was wrong with her by then had been caused by her time on the wards.
She went on to become New Zealand's greatest novelist. Her autobiography became An Angel at My Table, Jane Campion's film. She received the Order of New Zealand, the country's highest honour, and was talked about for the Nobel Prize. She died in 2004, at 79, with her mind intact.
The women in the beds around her at Seacliff had no book in the newspaper.

Yes, Europe is a laughing stock. The governments that is. Can't understand Europe in the least. No problem buying 800B in fuel from Russia. But Russia Russia Russia.

Europe is a laughingstock!
Kushner: “If Europe could identify one person to speak for them, that would be a bigger achievement than getting Russia to include them in negotiations.”
The Americans are starting to learn Russian humour. 😄😄
Grok regards @JohnDeere and
Mexico
“Official position and overall picture
• John Deere has said: “No we are not moving production to Mexico.” It has announced a commitment to invest $20 billion in the U.S. over the next 10 years and emphasizes its long-standing U.S. footprint (over 30,000 U.S. employees and facilities in more than 16 states).
• Less than 5% of Deere’s U.S. sales come from Mexican-made products; more than 75% of U.S. sales are from U.S.-based manufacturing.
• Flagship large agricultural tractors (such as the 7R, 8R, and 9R series) continue to be produced primarily at the major plant in Waterloo, Iowa. Other key U.S. sites include facilities in Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, and elsewhere.”

Happy Veterans Day. Here's a strange piece of American history: there were veterans of the Revolutionary War who lived long enough to be photographed. Some of them were still alive during the Civil War.
In 1864, with the Civil War raging, a Connecticut minister named E. B. Hillard set out to find the last surviving soldiers of the Revolution. By then almost all of them were gone. The war had ended 81 years earlier.
Using pension records, Hillard tracked down a handful of very old men still receiving Revolutionary War pensions. He interviewed them and had them photographed. In 1864 he published a small book called The Last Men of the Revolution, with their pictures and stories. All of them claimed to be around 100 years old or older.
Think about what that means. These men had been alive during the reign of King George III. They'd seen Washington. And now they were sitting for photographs, a technology that didn't even exist when they were young, while Lincoln was president and Union and Confederate armies were fighting.
One of them was Lemuel Cook of New York. He said he'd enlisted as a teenager and served in the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons, a cavalry unit. He claimed he was at Yorktown and saw Cornwallis's army surrender. He kept his discharge, which he said was signed by George Washington himself. He died in 1866. Historians generally consider him one of the last verified veterans of the Revolutionary War.
Some of the others had shakier claims. Age records in the 1700s were spotty, and some of the men may have been younger than they said, or served in ways that were hard to confirm. Memory at 100 is also not a perfect source.
But the photos are real. You can find them today. Old faces, deeply lined, staring out from 1864. The last living link to the war that created the country.
The pensions outlasted the soldiers. Many veterans married much younger women late in life, and their widows kept collecting Revolutionary War pensions for decades after the last soldier died. Some widows were still on the rolls into the early 1900s.
So today, remember the veterans of every American war, including the first one. The men in those photographs had fought for a country that didn't exist yet. They lived long enough to watch it fight to survive.
