### Shimon Peres to Vladimir Putin:
“I said to him:
‘You are 63 years old, and I am 93. Tell me, what do you want to achieve over the next 30 years? What are you fighting for? Are you hoping to irritate America?’
He replied: — No.
— Does America want to take part of Russia?
— No.
— Do you have problems with Obama because of some misunderstanding?
He asked: — Why are you asking me this?
I said: — Listen, I am not a spy. You can talk to me about anything.
He asked: — And what do you think?
I replied: — America will win, no matter what you do.
— Why? — he asked.
— Because they are happy, and you are not.
And I continued:
When an American wakes up in the morning, what does he see? To the south, Mexico — and Mexicans are welcomed into his country. To the north, Canada, his best friend in the world. And to the east and west, fish swimming in the water. What does Obama have to worry about?
And you? Who do you see around you when you wake up in the morning? Japan, China, Afghanistan?
My God! They know you have an enormous territory, yet you give them nothing. You possess 20 percent of the world's freshwater reserves, but you share nothing with others.
And when the snow in Siberia melts, the first people you will see there will be the Chinese. After all, there are many Chinese in the east and very few Russians.
The second thing I told him was this:
America has the best ratio of land area to population in the world. You have the worst.
Twenty million square kilometers! My God! But you don't have enough people to develop that territory. Your people are dying.
Do not be seduced by applause or by what people tell you. They will never forgive you for this.
Why do Russians live, on average, only 62 years, while Americans live to 82?
And then I told him:
— You behave like a tsar.
What did the tsars do? They built two cities — St. Petersburg and Moscow — as showcases. You can find anything you want there.
But the rest of Russia is Nigeria covered in snow.
Your people are dying. You are not giving them the opportunity to live with dignity. Do you really think they will forgive you?
— Why is America great? — he asked.
— Because America gives. And why does Europe have problems? Because Europe takes.
America gives.
People think Americans do this because they are generous. I believe they do it because they are wise.
When you give, you make friends. The most valuable investment you can ever make is an investment in friendship.
America had the courage to implement the Marshall Plan. It devoted an enormous share of its GDP to helping Europe, which was lying in ruins at the time.
And by doing so, America proved that such assistance is one of the best investments in the world.
There was not a single European country that had not been an empire. The French, the British, the Portuguese — they all had colonies.
And what happened?
They were driven out and left with nothing.
Britain was the greatest empire, the empire on which the sun never set. It controlled all the oceans.
But even the nonviolent resistance of the Indian people forced Britain to leave, reducing it to just three small islands that it now doesn't know what to do with.
Believe me,’ I told Putin, ‘enemies and hostility are the greatest losses in life.
You are investing in stupidity.’”

The car industry had a century to build an electric car people actually wanted. It didn’t.
The aerospace industry had sixty years to make a rocket reusable. It didn’t.
The telecom industry had decades to connect the billions it couldn’t profit from. It didn’t.
One person looked at all three and started crossing them off.
Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outsell their gas-powered rivals. A satellite network that beams internet from orbit to any point on the planet. A platform where speech is no longer filtered through a handful of editors. A chip inside a human brain that lets a paralyzed person control a computer with their thoughts.
And now a car that flies.
Six companies. Six industries. Each one operating at the frontier of its field while feeding engineering, data, and capability back into the others.
The rockets fund the satellites. The satellites fund the rockets. The cars train the robots. The AI runs them. The platform keeps the conversation free. The energy powers all of it.
People keep waiting for him to fail. They have been waiting for twenty years.
The rockets were supposed to explode. They land on boats. The cars were supposed to be toys. They outsell everyone. The satellites were supposed to be impossible. They connect six continents.
The brain chip was supposed to be science fiction. It is inside a human skull right now.
At some point the pattern stops being luck and starts being something the critics are not equipped to recognize.
Not because they lack intelligence. Because the framework they use to judge what is possible was built inside the institutions that couldn’t do what he does.
The conversation about Elon Musk has never been about Elon Musk.
It has been about how uncomfortable it makes people to watch one person accomplish what entire industries organized themselves to attempt and never finished.
History does not produce this combination often. The drive. The technical depth. The pain tolerance. The willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. And the insane ambition to attempt all of it at once.
Every one of these technologies would have arrived eventually. Reusable rockets. Electric vehicles. Global connectivity. Brain interfaces. None of them violated the laws of physics.
But eventually can mean fifty years. And fifty years is the difference between your grandchildren seeing it and you seeing it.
The most overlooked thing Musk has done is not any single invention.
It is how much of the future he pulled into the lifetimes of people who would have died before it arrived.
Earth does not get many of these.
And the people still betting against him are making the same mistake every industry made before he walked in and did the thing they said couldn’t be done.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Bamboo sheets are sold as the gentle alternative to cotton and silk, and the fabric they are made of is the one that put factory workers in asylums.
Bamboo cloth is not bamboo. It is viscose. The plant is pulped, dissolved in caustic soda and carbon disulphide, and squirted through a nozzle into acid, where it sets into a thread. It was patented in England in 1892 as artificial silk, and the trade name for it was rayon. The same process makes a kitchen sponge and the cellophane on a bunch of flowers.
Carbon disulphide was already notorious. French doctors in the 1850s had watched it send rubber workers blind, impotent and insane. The viscose industry needed it in enormous quantities and nothing else would do.
So from the 1920s the asylums began to fill. In 1933 a doctor at a Pennsylvania rayon plant wired Alice Hamilton, the first woman on the Harvard faculty and the country's authority on industrial poisons, with a 6-word message: an epidemic of insanity has broken out. Workers were going home and attacking their wives. Men in the churn rooms were found wandering the roads. Investigators who got inside found a third of the workforce showing signs of poisoning.
The companies fixed prices, sat on the evidence, and when the regulators finally came for them in the West they moved the factories to India, China and Indonesia, where the same chemical is used today. The consumer was never harmed. Only the people who made the cloth.
Silk is made by a caterpillar in a mulberry tree. Wool is made by a sheep in a field. Both are a protein, same as your own hair, and both have been pulled off the animal for 5,000 years without sending anybody out of his mind.
The fake silk needed a chemical that could not be made safe, and the industry's answer was to make it somewhere else.

ONE IN FIVE.
That's how many voters in the city of Tulare, California just got two mail-in ballots for the same election.
7,791 people opened their mailbox and found a second ballot. The county didn't catch it. Voters did, when they started calling and showing up at the elections office on October 14.
The county blamed a print vendor. It still hasn't said which company it was.
This is California's 22nd District. Valadao vs. Villegas is one of the races that could decide who runs the House.
The county says relax, only one ballot per voter gets counted. Fine.
Then name the vendor, explain how thousands of extra ballots got mailed without anyone noticing, and show us exactly how every duplicate gets flagged.
This is what happens when you mail ballots to everybody. One screwup at a print shop and thousands of extra ballots are sitting on kitchen tables in a swing district weeks before Election Day.
Trust is earned. California keeps spending it like it's free.

🚨 WOW! Sec. Scott Bessent came with receipts and MIC DROPPED Kristen Welker and Zelensky trying to paint Trump as a Putin flunky
"Zelensky does NOT criticize his European partners...the Europeans are FINANCING the Russian war machine. The U.S. imports $4 billion of Russian products, 1.8 billion of that is fertilizer. The Europeans, the import more than **10 TIMES** that!"
🔥🔥🔥
"The UK in May WAIVED their embargo on diesel and jet fuel made with RUSSIAN crude. Where's the OUTRAGE for the rest of the world?!"
Imagine thinking you know more than Bessent on issues like this.
Trump is allowing some sale of diesel to help lower American prices.
Europe has been buying Russian oil for MONTHS AND MONTHS despite Trump repeatedly asking them to stop
The EU is still the biggest buyer of Russian LNG on Earth, taking 49% of all Russia's exports.

🚨 UPDATE: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is facing calls to resign after she publicly called for the persecution of Trump allies to intimidate young conservatives against participating
WHAT A DEEP STATE CROOK!
She dreams of it: "I want young people to be like, lord, that may buy myself a ton of problems I don't want, so let me avoid participating. I want deterrence."
She's not talking about anyone accused of a crime. She's talking about kids fresh out of college deciding whether to take a job in a lawfully elected administration
Her plan is "signature cases" against "the people who enabled him," because, in her words, they "have no immunity the way the president does"
She wants teenagers to be scared of tyrants like her!

Left-wing Pan-Africanists love telling Africans to reject the white man, then build their entire worldview around Karl Marx.
I’m sorry but that is just too hilarious! 😭

For nearly half a century, Iranian Americans have helped build and strengthen this country through their contributions to business, medicine, science, and education.
Today, I call on my fellow Iranians in America, and on every American who values freedom, peace, stability, and economic security, to make your voices heard at the ballot box this November, and to consider the freedom of Iran as an important issue when casting your vote.
Because a free Iran is better for everyone.
It is better for the people of Iran, who deserve to live with dignity, speak freely, and choose their own leaders without fear.
It is better for the world. For more than four decades, the Islamic Republic has armed militias, financed terrorism, and destabilized its neighbors. Its actions have claimed countless innocent lives and spread violence, chaos, and insecurity across the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.
And it is better for the American people. Today, the Islamic Republic’s disruption of the Strait of Hormuz is driving economic pressure all the way to American gas pumps and grocery stores. A free Iran means secure and open shipping lanes, more stable energy markets, and a nation of 90 million people ready to trade and cooperate with America instead of threatening it. There can be no lasting peace or stability with a regime whose leaders chant “Death to America.”
That is why I urge you to vote and to encourage your family and friends to do the same. Ask every candidate, Republican or Democrat, whether they understand that the problem is the regime itself.
As you cast your vote, consider where each candidate stands: with the Iranian people or with those who oppress them.
The Islamic Republic is not the solution to the crisis. It is the root of the crisis. And the only lasting solution is to remove that root, the regime itself.

Slotkin is telling you what they are going to do: arrest Republicans and other Trump supporters.
Nearly a year ago, Slotkin tried to organized an insurrection.
Republicans still let her sit on the committees and she and her insurrection partners have not been arrested.

It is absolutely disgraceful to threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country.

Every Democrat legislator yesterday demanded American citizens be disarmed because a criminal committed a crime, while today we find out that a senator is saying, out loud, that she wants to prosecute every Republican member of any Republican administration to keep Republicans from participating in government.
These two things are not unrelated…
