VP JD Vance: “If you are encouraging illegal aliens to sign up for Social Security and steal Social Security benefits, you're not protecting Social Security, you're destroying it — so cut that sh*t out and be honest about your intentions.”

”The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency headed by Elon Musk has publicized and subsequently eliminated a breathtaking amount of corruption, waste, and fraud.
When governments have the legal authority to forcefully take your hard-earned money from you via parasitic taxation, and if there are no consequences to how they spend the money, it is nearly impossible to expect that the money will be spent properly.
Politicians view your money as rightfully belonging to them, and as such, if the money is improperly spent, this is perfectly fine. Raise taxes, spend carelessly, rinse and repeat.”

Ich finde, @Tesla macht das mit der EU-weiten FSD-Einführung sehr gut. Statt sich mit Querulanten wie 🇩🇪 oder 🇫🇷 rumzuärgern, führen sie es einfach in technologieoffene Länder ein.
Das hat zwei Vorteile.
1️⃣ Sie können schnell Erfolge vorweisen und sammeln Kilometer, um beweisen zu können, dass autonomes Fahren Leben rettet.
2️⃣ Die Freigaben üben erheblichen politischen Druck auf die Länder aus, deren Behörden sich mit faulen Ausreden weigern.
Unsere Verkehrsminister müssen sich den Vorwurf gefallen lassen, dass man für Tesla geltende Regeln bricht und schlechter entwickelte Wettbewerber bevorzugt. Das kostet bei Wahlen wichtige Stimmen und treibt die Wähler zu Parteien, die modern und technologieOFFEN sind.

A 9 year old boy wrote Elon Musk a letter asking if he could be one of the first people to live on Mars. The letter was written in pencil on lined notebook paper. The spelling was imperfect. The plan was detailed.
He had calculated (incorrectly, but sincerely) how many days the trip would take. He had drawn a floor plan of his Mars habitat. He had listed the supplies he would bring: "food, water, books, my dog." He asked if SpaceX could build a rocket big enough for his dog.
The letter made it to Elon's desk through a chain of assistants who each decided independently that it should go higher. The last assistant to pass it on said she did so because the floor plan of the Mars habitat included a room labeled "for my mom so she doesn't miss me."
Elon responded. Personally. The response was short and factual in his typical style, but included one line that the boy's mother shared publicly years later: "We are building the rocket. Keep drawing the plans."
The boy is now a teenager. He is studying aerospace engineering. His mother said in an interview that the letter and the response are framed on his bedroom wall. The pencil drawing of a Mars habitat with a room for his mom sits next to a response from the man who is actually building the ship.
The mission to Mars is sustained by billions of dollars, thousands of engineers, and decades of accumulated technology. It is also sustained by a 9 year old's pencil drawing that included a room for his mother and a question about whether the rocket could fit his dog.
The technical problems will be solved by engineers. The reason to solve them is sitting in a frame on a teenager's wall.

Actor James Woods asked Republicans : “So why aren’t you arresting these people for treason? I don’t know which is more frustrating, to know that Democrats literally staged a coup against the President of the United States, or to know that the Federal Bureau of Investigation can’t find a single person to indict.”

For what it’s worth, @PierrePoilievre is the only political leader in Canada that has openly & vocally supported Israel & Jewish Canadians, knowing full well he will lose votes. At least someone in politics has a functioning moral compass. 🇮🇱

Meet Parastoo Ahmadi, the Iranian singer just sentenced to 74 lashes for not wearing a hijab in a music video. And I have yet to see a single Western popstar, actor, or woke social justice warrior speechifying about her.
Almost like standing up for truly oppressed people isn’t actually the point.

🚨🚨ELON: "One of the biggest fraud holes we've uncovered ... is that the government can give money to a so called nonprofit ... They then give themselves ... insane salaries, expense everything, buy jets and homes ... on the taxpayer dime ... This is happening at scale."

In light of the recent news from the UK, I am releasing my full documentary on the Islamic takeover of London.
I ask a woman at a protest if she would be okay with London becoming 90% Muslim, she said yes.
A policeman tells me the police force is looking to be as diverse as possible because not every borough speaks english.
I ask a man where he's from and he says "a different country." I've conducted 100s of interviews with illegal immigrants in the US, and not one of them has hid the country their from.
A muslim migrant who speaks almost no english on her way to a beautiful home in Bethnal Green, tells me the government has helped her with housing for the last six years.
A leftist couple tells people who don't like the mass immigration to "suck it up." They say Britain has a responsibility to accept immigrants because the UK colonized other countries.
Inside the East London Mosque, a man tells me around 10,000 people attend Friday prayers. That same mosque organized a charity fun run that excluded women and girls aged 12 and older, while allowing boys of all ages.

2 Muslim doctors have been performing illegal surgeries on young girls in Minnesota as part of “Shia Muslim religious practice”
“Security camera footage, some taped phone conversations and the testimony from 2 very young girls who say they were taken to that clinic where they experienced unthinkable pain”
They were performing Female Genital Mutilation, “it will be in that hearing when more will be presented about religion, culture, tradition versus federal law that prohibits the cutting of the genitals of young girls to keep them from being sexually active later in life.”
“They do have a very strong religious belief.”
The doctors say the surgery was a “Shia Muslim religious practice”
‘“Shia Muslim religious practice” or rite-of-passage ritual’

«Le viol ne cesse pas d’être un viol quand il arrive à quelqu’un que vous détestez. Le viol, le viol collectif, tirer sur les filles et les jeunes femmes dans le vagin, couper leurs seins, insérer des objets étrangers dans leurs organes génitaux, violer leurs cadavres, ce n’est pas de la « résistance ».
