This shouldn't escape those who are concerned with the plight of the #Palestinians: The reason why Western countries have experienced a "forever refugees crisis" from this part of the world is because neighboring Islamic countries are fiercely protective of their own borders. They don't want conflicts to spread, nor do they want "demographic shifts". *Grok explains: "Egypt, Gaza’s only viable exit route, never opened borders for free flight or settlement. After Oct 2023 the Rafah crossing stayed sealed for weeks; limited exits for wounded, dual nationals and those paying high fees began in November. Roughly 100-115k entered Egypt overall, mostly temporary with no refugee status or path to permanent residency. "Egypt and Jordan both rejected mass temporary or permanent intake to avoid demographic shifts and security risks. Rafah now allows only tightly vetted, limited daily crossings under ceasefire rules." Far from being a fluke, this is a long running pattern in how the Palestinians are treated in their own geographic neighborhood: "After 1948, Arab host states largely restricted citizenship and permanent resettlement of Palestinian refugees to preserve the right of return. Lebanon and Egypt denied it almost entirely; Syria granted social rights but not citizenship. Jordan naturalized most 1948 arrivals. Arab League resolutions opposed "tawtin" (resettlement) on political and demographic grounds." It wasn't a cakewalk for Palestinians before the modern State of #Israel came to exist, either: "In the 19th century and earlier, Arab inhabitants of Ottoman Palestine (no distinct national "Palestinian" identity yet) faced Bedouin raids and tribute demands from local and surrounding desert tribes. Bedouins often viewed settled fellahin as inferior targets for plunder amid weak Ottoman control and nomadic-settled resource conflicts. Internal Qays-Yaman clan rivalries caused further violence. Egyptian occupation (1831-40) imposed heavy taxes and conscription, sparking revolt and brutal suppression. Dynamics were tribal, economic, and imperial, not ethnic targeting by neighboring states." Takeaway Next time someone posts about #Netanyahu's war crimes, remember: None of this happened in a vacuum. In an ideal world, neighboring countries with similar culture and language would open their doors. But that's not the world we live in — and it can't always be the West's problem to solve. *"BACKGROUNDER: Palestinian Refugees: florida.adl.org/resources/ba…
Nearly half of the UN General Assembly walked out as Netanyahu took the stage in New York. Imagine a world where war criminals like this coward are arrested and tried instead of facing symbolic consequences.

Angry at President Trump over the Iran war? Planning to sit out the Midterm elections? Don't. 👇
Replying to @WesInman1 @catturd2
Awhile back I posted a whole thread of defense-related news sources before this war started about how Iran could reach Europe and soon the US with ICBMs. (One of the sources indicated that in January they had a successful long-range test with Russia.) Mainstream media chose to ignore this, which in turn made it seem as if Trump arbitrarily got himself in this mess. (Or that he did it only as a favor to Israel.) Also to minimal reporting, Trump flagged Iran's capacity to hit Europe and "very soon the US" early in the so-called excursion. Setting that aside, it is correct that Trump was anti-war — but he had one red line, verifiable in comments going back decades: "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon". The colossal mistake, as I see it, is that Iran's top leadership was largely killed off almost immediately. Who did that leave them to negotiate with and does the IRGC follow their orders? It's unclear if the people who say they are in charge really are. They keep entering peace deals they don't keep — or maybe can't keep because the military no longer answers to any central command. The Trump admin also apparently thought the Iranian people, in a communications blackout, would retake their country. But many of those who would have "liberated" Iran died before this war protesting the regime, whole those who remain saw a girl's school bombed and probably became deeply ambivalent if not compelled by the attacks to rally around "the devil they know" (what's left of the regime). As to whether Tulsi said the nuclear program ended in 2003, that would be consistent with "Obama's nuclear deal was a success". However, Trump has consistently portrayed the nuclear deal as a complete failure. He withdrew from the nuclear deal, regardless, so Iran probably was attempting to test ICBMs to deliver nuclear payloads. If the #IranWar had worked out, not only would regime change have been possible but it could have also served to checkmate China by putting the US in charge of most of the alternate sources of oil (Venezuela/Iran). Dominating oil supplies would have forced China to play nice on Taiwan, a potential "two for one" win. A successful outcome to the war could even go so far as to spare the petrodollar from being killed off by the BRICS countries. (Relevant because if we lose world reserve currency status we will collapse like the USSR as our currency becomes worthless with no way to finance $40T in debt. Relevant also because the inflation we have seen over the past 5+ years will be nothing compared to the inflation that will occur if our bond markets collapse.) Trump had an "all of the above" reason to do what he did from a strategic perspective — but how to pull it off was botched since Day One. (Israel acting to remove leaders we needed to negotiate with didn't help.) As a result, the US now finds itself in a sad and familiar place where successful war outcomes are concerned. As to the problem of imported beef, the issue isn't just cost for consumers. It's that cattle herds are at 75 year lows even as the US inherited a 51st State worth of new people over Biden's broken border. There isn't enough to go around, which then prices average consumers out and allows beef to sit around on grocery shelves until it expires and has to be discarded. Meanwhile, Tyson moved to close a number of meat packing plants — which if we can't bring the meat to market will only assure the prices go higher. It is true: The meat packing monopoly effectively put their downstream suppliers out of business over a multi-decade period. But what people miss is that importing meat is probably about keeping the packers — because we're down to so few — from going under. After all, if there's one thing worse than ranchers being squeezed, it's being squeezed and then losing access to meat processing. Personally, I think there should have been an incentive to meet market demands by increasing herd sizes — but that takes years. Because the prior administration was motivated by climate change and "cow farts" to phase out fossil fuel, the Green New Deal hurt those who produce our food most. It only took a few years for the Biden Admin to dig a hole that will take more than a decade to dig out of. In the meantime, Americans are angry about inflation and whomever happens to be in office while this is going on will get the blame. Bottom Line If former Trump voters sit it out in November, it will amount to jumping from the frying pan to the fire. Allowing the DSA (communists!) to enjoy historic wins will fling open the door to massive tax hikes and another round of "war on climate crisis" — a top reason why we saw 40-year high inflation during the Biden admin to begin with. If it's possible to do worse than Biden on the economy, voters are apparently angry enough at Trump to pick their own pockets: The DSA comes with a $200T price tag, per the Cato Institute, thanks to leftists who can't do math and fail to understand that "tax the rich" won't even land in the "free stuff" ballpark. The leftists will demand hike taxes across the board while still having no commitment to increase beef herds (climate offender) or to increase US oil refining capacity (which is a big factor in the cost). California, for example, once was home to 40 refineries. Now there are fewer than eight, which contributes to the cost-of-fuel problem nationally. If we throw the Midterms to Democrat do we think they're going to stop closing refineries? In California, would-be 2028 presidential candidate Gov. Gavin Newsom won't even roll back the massive gas taxes to provide relief at the pump! At $40T in debt, the US is already in danger of a USSR style collapse. If voters sit elections out or actively work to usher in the DSA — even as the Trump admin remains bogged down in the Iran war — we're not just going to grapple with "inflation". We're going to wonder what hit us.

Prop 40 is a dream that becomes a nightmare. Billionaires are already in the process of fleeing high taxes for a "Second Silicon Valley" near Reno: news.mediontech.com/reno-eme… California has already lost ~2,000 tech companies in 5 years. If voters pass #Prop40 it will hit the accelerator on job losses — offsetting any revenue gains they may stand to pick up from the rich who stick it out. California can't afford to become a desert amidst a sea of greener pastures where businesses (and billionaires) feel more welcome. At $40T in debt with $1T every 100 days in interest-only compounding, the federal debt is unsustainable too. Set aside that no one has figured out how to save Social Security and Medicare from insolvency. #TaxTheRich doesn't even begin to touch the kind of spending that would be necessary to usher in universal healthcare, guaranteed housing and other #DSA objectives. A Cato Institute estimate of the Democratic Socialists of America’s platform: $71 trillion to $212 trillion in additional federal spending over 10 years. To land even remotely in that ballpark, even the poorest Americans would need to pay higher taxes — on top of inflation and more than $18T record high consumer debt. Grok: "The arithmetic point of the analysis is simply that 'tax the rich' at any plausible or even extreme level does not close most of a $70T–$200T+ gap. … "Current projected federal tax collections over the decade are about $70 trillion; covering the new spending would require roughly doubling revenue at the low end and quadrupling it at the high end, on top of already-projected deficits." Voters have a choice: Self-inflict an economic nightmare. Or do the math. God help us if we're too stupid to care.

Prior to Charlie Kirk's death, trans shootings involving religious targets included the August 2025 shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis and the March 2023 Covenant School shooting in Nashville. But Christians aren't merely victims. Some support perpetrators. 🧵👇 A reverend at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's Austin church on hidden camera admits much of the church wished the Butler, PA shooter had succeeded: dailywire.com/news/exclusive… A poll years ago gained notoriety for "Better an asteroid hit earth than elect Donald Trump". Here's the latest poll in a similar vein: mlive.com/politics/2026/09/s…

An independent review has found numerous security failings associated with Charlie Kirk's final campus event — but much of the blame lands on #TPUSA. "UVU didn’t act in ‘wanton disregard’ leading up to Charlie Kirk shooting, independent review says": utahnewsdispatch.com/2026/09… #CandaceOwens has seized on this report to "prove" that she's been right all along. Over the past year she has also pointed out that Kirk's texts in the 48 hours before his death suggested a break with Israel. Never mind the improbability that within hours of such texts, Zionists launched an operational plot to do what Tyler Robinson could not. Meanwhile, there is only one trial taking place, and none of Owens' speculation regarding internal issues at TPUSA or foreign involvement in Kirk's death will be decided in the context of Tyler Robinson's trial. What we do know: Seemingly "normal" people took to social media in droves to leer at Kirk's death before he was even buried. They did the same to begrudge the fact that Thomas Matthew Crooks failed. The common thread that weaves these stories together? The threat within. Violence is a clear and present danger to anyone who doesn't fit mainstream demands for social, political and secular conformity. Rather than say "We have an open society. A lot of guns. A lot of drugs. A generation of people who believe 'words are violence' and no real mental health treatment system", speculation centers around a conspiracy against Charlie Kirk that may involve TPUSA insiders or the malign influence of Israel. Result? The conversation we're having is much narrower than "American society is dangerously divided". Instead of "We are not safe", it's Charlie who wasn't safe. And Trump who isn't safe. It's the easier conversation. But not nearly as honest. Until America grapples with its violence problem, its social media radicalization problem and the mental health epidemic, we don't heal. Instead we compartmentalize. The rabbit trail is easier than the 30,000' view. Convincing ourselves that it took a conspiracy to threaten Trump or kill Charlie Kirk detracts from the senselessness of it all. It's senseless when, for whatever security measures were supposed to be in place, Kirk's security was also "We trust in God to protect Charlie". It's senseless when TPUSA seemingly underestimated the threat level in highly religious, conservative friendly Utah. It's senseless when the normalcy bias prevails. Security failings may have occurred at many of Kirk's events but it only took being unprepared once to kill him. It's not the ugly America became that demands answers in the aftermath of tragedy. Bad things happen to other people and the people involved should pay. If only it were that simple.

The people who grow our food are increasingly dying from it: "A cancer crisis decades in the making is bearing down on rural Iowa": yahoo.com/news/us/articles/c… The biggest medical advance to be made for its time was public sanitation. (You don't poop where you eat or drink.) The second biggest medical advance to be made is the day when we stop dumping forever chemicals on our crops, while killing off the pollinators that keep 2/3 of that food possible to grow in the first place.

There's a reason why so many white doctors are old white doctors. I know people who were "filtered out" of medical school admissions (USC) in the 1990s! That so much of U.S. healthcare consists of imported labor is largely self inflicted — and this anecdote squares with that.
JUST IN: The DOJ says the University of California–San Francisco’s medical school illegally used race in admissions, shutting out white applicants and most Asian applicants to boost favored minority groups. According to the investigation, UCSF’s medical school invited black and Hispanic applicants to interview at far higher rates than Asian and white applicants, despite lower average MCAT scores and GPAs. From 2023 to 2025, it accepted about 1.5−1.7% of white applicants and 2.0−2.6% of Asian applicants, compared to 4.8−6.7% of Hispanic applicants and 7.0−11.4% of black applicants. Even with similar scores, grades, and socioeconomic backgrounds, black students were 12.6 times more likely to be admitted than white students, and Hispanic students 4.6 times more likely.

If you can't explain your argument, it might be because you only have the half-baked talking points media handed you…
Self-proclaimed “liberal cuck” tries to shame me at the airport. I gave this man 10+ opportunities to explain why he said that, but he couldn’t come up with one answer. Exposing fraud is not a partisan issue. It affects every taxpaying citizen. EXPOSE IT ALL.

But it's acceptable to take children younger than this to adult drag shows…
🚨#BREAKING Outrage is erupting after an 11-YEAR-OLD BOY was stopped by police, FINGERPRINTED, and ordered to court for riding his dirt bike to go FISHING... ...300 FEET FROM HIS OWN HOUSE!!! They TOWED HIS BIKE with a city WRECKER. An officer warned him he'd get a WARRANT if he didn't show up, he'll have to miss school for it. His name is Cade, he's 11 years old, a sixth grader in Oviedo, Florida. His dad helped him start a little summer business selling squirrel tables and Cade worked all summer long, he saved up $900 and he bought that bike himself. An 11-year-old entrepreneur, in 2026. We should be putting this kid on a FREAKING POSTER!!!! On Labor Day, Cade grabbed his fishing pole and rode toward the pond at Sweetwater Park, he was on the shoulder of the road, about 300 FEET from his house. Why not the sidewalk? His answer: "If I go on the sidewalk, I can only go 10mph, and also it's going to scare the pedestrians." An 11-year-old thinking about pedestrians' safety! Then, an Oviedo police officer pulled him over. Asked him for his license, his registration, his proof of insurance. THE KID IS ELEVEN. Then they fingerprinted him. Wrote him a citation with a mandatory court date and told this little boy, on camera, "You have to show up, OK? Or they're going to put out a warrant for you." Then they called in the city tow truck!!!!!! His dad's words: "They called in the city wrecker for this little, tiny electric bike and winched it on up there." Next Tuesday, Cade has to skip school to stand in front of a judge. Yes TECHNICALLY the police have a point under Florida law, but where was the common sense?!!!! Cade now says: "Now I'm kind of scared to ride my dirt bike." A Virginia mom got a criminal record for letting her son walk to a pond, two little girls in Pennsylvania got hauled into court over a broken swing, and now an 11-year-old in Florida gets printed for riding to go fishing. We are criminalizing childhood in this country. Even THE TOWN MAYOR called Cade a "good kid." She's right. ...and for the love of God, somebody give this kid his bike back. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

"Vaccine-Associated DNA Found in Rare Cardiac Tumor — Provocative Case Raises Questions but Falls Far Short of Proving Causation": trialsitenews.com/a/vaccine-… Cancer has reached epidemic levels in adults under the age of 50. 👇 While some forms of cancer have been on the rise for more than two decades (e.g. colon cancer), so-called #TurboCancers are not as easy to explain away. The safety signals were there. And the red flags documented. But we were in the grip of "pandemic panic" — the fear that a failure to vaccinate for #COVID19 would mean killing loved ones. Now the panic is largely behind us. But the lingering impacts of a coercive media environment, government guilting and employer retaliation, aren't so easy to shake. What keeps everyone in limbo 5+ years later? Not the absence of questions. But a normalcy bias that pleads with us not to ask them. Face saving became baked in. After all, what could go wrong? A lot, actually. Let's recap: 1) Novel virus, addressed via novel #mRNA vaccines. 2) The jab was intended to remain in the upper arm. Instead, bio distribution studies demonstrated that virtually any cell in the body could become a spike protein factory. 3) mRNA was supposed to break down after about two weeks post-vaccination. A 2025 Yale study found that in some it was still being produced when the study concluded, 700+ days in. 4) A Cambridge study documented "frame shifting" (transcription errors) as cells begun to manufacture spike protein fragments as per the mRNA vaccine encoding. Why it matters: Cells must reproduce exactly and only as intended. While frame-shifting is thought to waste a cell's time producing errant proteins that may cause chronic inflammation, cancer is what happens cell replication is permanently disrupted. 5) About 70% of the immune system is tied to the microbiome (gut bacteria). Tracking studies found that vaccines can unexpectedly shift the composition and metabolic pathways of gut flora for months, while molecular research also shows that bacteria can acquire genetic fragments during natural viral infections — presenting long-term questions for immune system behavior. Takeaway While cancer rates may be up due to COVID-19, the vaccine or wholly unrelated factors, correlation vs. causation debates will drag on for years to come. The task isn't straightforward because one in three women and one in two men will face cancer in their lifetimes. If the answers won't be forthcoming anytime soon, perhaps Big Pharma shouldn't be rolling out mRNA "gene therapy" for innumerable uses anytime soon, either. Like the AI pause suggested by leading figures in the tech industry, citing concerns that the dawn of "superintelligence" could pose an existential threat to humanity, perhaps it's time for an mRNA pause until we can sort out the signal from the noise. Now that we're past the panic, it's time to put scientific inquiry back in the driver's seat. After all, "first do no harm", is only a goal patience rewards.

President Trump's legacy is overwhelmingly comprised of "easy come, easy go" executive orders. The border wall isn't done and in 2028 the border floodgates will likely swing back open because immigration reform was never seriously floated. Then there's the Save America Act…
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Donald Trump at the UN just demanded the IMMEDIATE resignation of globalist International Criminal Court (ICC) members Then he CALLED OUT the globalists for ignoring the persecution of Christians I VOTED FOR THIS. "I mean, Christians are being persecuted all over the world. It's not even believable. I never thought I'd say it, but it's been happening for a long time. So this is persecution of Christians who are the crimes of the world's most repressive regimes. Yet, they want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from world's most dangerous places." "I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately." "We will NEVER allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us, or an evil group of people." "It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN's top human rights officials spend their time criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilization and transgender insanity and enforcing our immigration laws." One of his best moments ever.
